Chapter 145: Backfire
"Hello, please take a seat..."
Lin Zhenzhu sat down on the single sofa next to Ou Zilong and Su Meng. Ou Zilong and Su Meng also sat down, but Su Meng sat next to Lin Zhenzhu.
"I heard Yunxi call you Mengmeng, so I will call you Mengmeng from now on too!"
"Okay, grandma."
Lin Zhenzhu's kindness and enthusiasm made Su Meng forget that she was here to act today.
He took out the gift he brought and gave it to Lin Zhenzhu.
"Grandma, these are some specialties from my hometown. There are some dried vegetables, dried radishes and dried bamboo shoots. I brought them for you to try..."
"Okay, okay, grandma likes to eat these local specialties. Mengmeng really understands grandma..."
Lin Zhenzhu took it and looked very happy. She did not feel disgusted at all about these worthless things. Instead, she was very happy about them.
Su Meng was stunned for a moment. This was different from what she had expected.
According to Su Meng's original idea, when going to someone else's house for the first time, no matter what, she should always bring gifts.
For a family like Ou Zilong's, the gifts given should be carefully selected even if they are not expensive. If you just take some local specialties from your own home and give them to others, it would seem a bit perfunctory.
But it was not that she couldn't afford a gift, but Ou Zilong wanted her to look worse in front of Lin Zhenzhu, so she just picked up some worthless and ordinary things to give to Lin Zhenzhu.
I didn't expect Lin Zhenzhu to like it so much, which actually backfired a bit.
But it's no wonder. Lin Zhenzhu has eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. On the contrary, the local specialties of these parents seem rare to her, so she naturally likes them more.
Su Meng smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha..., grandma, as long as you like it."
Lin Zhenzhu took out a handful of dried vegetables from the bag and said with some emotion: "I haven't eaten this kind of dried vegetables for almost 20 years. Now I miss it so much. It must be delicious, right?"
When talking about this, Su Meng became interested.
"Yes, grandma, this kind of dried vegetable in our hometown is delicious. It is especially fragrant whether it is used to make soup or stew meat. You must try it someday. I guarantee you will miss it after you finish it."
"Really? The grandma you mentioned wants to eat it now, hehe..."
The two of them were there, chatting happily. Su Meng was the kind of person who was very outgoing, so she quickly became familiar with Lin Zhenzhu. She talked about the local specialties she brought today, and even said that she would cook for Lin Zhenzhu herself.
Ou Zilong was a little worried when he saw Su Meng and Lin Zhenzhu were having a good chat. It seemed that Su Meng had forgotten why he came here today.
So he pulled Su Meng's clothes, trying to remind her.
result……
"Hey, why are you pulling my clothes? Can't you see that I'm having a good chat with grandma? Go away..."
The attitude of her real girlfriend made Ou Zilong instantly timid. The relationship between the two was obviously fake, but at this moment, he didn't dare to refute it. Because we can't let Lin Zhenzhu see any flaws.
When Lin Zhenzhu saw Su Meng's attitude towards Ou Zilong, she did not have any intention of protecting Ou Zilong. Instead, she felt that he should be looked after by a woman like Su Meng, so that people would feel at ease.
"Zilong, if you're so free, go to the greenhouse and help grandma get rid of those weeds. Don't stay here and disturb me and Mengmeng's chat!"
Ou Zilong did not answer because he didn't want to leave now. If they continued to get along like this, Lin Zhenzhu would not only not hate Su Meng, but like Su Meng even more.
In this case, Lin Zhenzhu might let them get married directly one day. By then, he really won’t know what to do?
So now, he had to watch the two of them, and then find an opportunity to remind Su Meng.
The two women ignored Ou Zilong and continued their pleasant chat. As they were chatting, he stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Because Lin Zhenzhu just said that she really wanted to eat the local specialties that Su Meng brought, so she decided to cook for her herself.
Ou Zilong originally wanted to follow, but Lin Zhenzhu thought he was in the way, so she asked him to go to the greenhouse to weed.
She also said: "The kitchen is a woman's territory, so don't get involved. Mengmeng, let's go..."
"Okay, grandma."
Lin Zhenzhu gave the order, and it would be wrong for Ou Zilong to follow, and it would be wrong not to follow. For a moment, I didn't know what to do and could only stand there.
Watching the two women talking and laughing as they left, Ou Zilong felt that Su Meng and Lin Zhenzhu were more like grandparents and grandchildren. And he was more like an outsider left there!
At this moment, he really didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let Su Meng pretend to be his girlfriend?
Lin Zhenzhu hasn't cooked for a long time, but today, because of Su Meng, she suddenly felt like cooking.
So the two women, one big and one small, started busying themselves in the kitchen, preparing lunch.
The one big and one small here refer to their ages, not their body shapes.
At almost twelve o'clock, Lin Zhenzhu and Su Meng finally prepared lunch.
Having not cooked for many years, Lin Zhenzhu’s cooking skills seem a little rusty. Su Meng usually eats at the company when she is at work. She only cooks at home on weekends or days off, so her cooking skills are pretty good.
Originally, Lin Zhenzhu was going to entertain Su Meng at noon today, and she had prepared all kinds of delicacies from land and sea.
But because Su Meng brought local specialties and Lin Zhenzhu wanted to eat them, and Su Meng had no interest in those so-called delicacies from land and sea, she temporarily changed the menu.
In the end, Su Meng and Lin Zhenzhu made five dishes and one soup.
Braised pork belly with bamboo shoots, fragrant dried radish, steamed osmanthus fish, braised prawns, stir-fried choy sum and pork ribs and dried vegetable soup.
There are only Ou Zilong, Su Meng and Lin Zhenzhu eating here, so these dishes are more than enough.
Most of the dishes on this table were made by Su Meng, and Lin Zhenzhu was just helping out.
Su Meng originally wanted to make the dried radish spicy, so that it would taste sourer and more crunchy. But considering that Lin Zhenzhu is an elderly and may not be able to eat spicy food, we changed to a lighter flavor, but it is just as delicious.
Ou Zilong followed Lin Zhenzhu's instructions and went to the greenhouse to clear the weeds. After returning to the villa, I found Su Meng and the others were still busy in the kitchen, so I had to sit alone on the sofa in the living room.
When I was extremely bored, I took out my mobile phone to play games, and of course I played PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
When he found out that the teammate with whom he had worked very well last time did not come, he just randomly found someone to team up with him.
result……
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates!
Ou Zilong was so angry about working with this pig-like teammate that he almost vomited blood.
In the end, it was so boring that I just logged off and stopped playing.
