Not long after, Chu Jiang returned with Xi Ran.
Yu Wenhui, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, hurriedly came out.
"I received it, let me see."
As soon as Yu Xuehui stepped out of the kitchen, she saw a beautiful woman with a gentle and quiet appearance and ran over to Xi Ran.
"You must be Xi Ran, right? You're really beautiful, no wonder my rascal is smitten."
Xi Ran looked completely bewildered, her face full of question marks.
"ah???"
Chu Jiang quickly tried to smooth things over, "Mom, judging from your outfit, you must be cooking some fancy dish. Don't you need to watch the fire?"
"Don't worry, isn't your Aunt Zhang watching over things? It won't burn. I've told you so many times, I'm only in my forties, I'm still very young. Can you please stop calling me 'Mom' and adding 'I' in front of me? It sounds so mean, it makes me sound old."
Chu Jiang also looked helpless, "I know, Mom."
Yu Xuehui smiled gently, "That's right, calling me 'Mom' sounds so nice. Adding 'I' make me sound old. Remember that next time. If you dare to call me that wrong again, you'll be in big trouble."
Chu Jiang was speechless. His mother was already quite old, yet she was still acting young. It was really ridiculous.
"Okay. When can we eat? I'm starving."
"Right away, right away."
Yu Xuehui rushed to the kitchen, wanting to chat about something more, but she had no choice but to give up the idea.
Luckily, my brat said that these kids will be staying at my house tonight. What information can't we dig out then?
whee!
With this in mind, Yu Xuehui happily went to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Before long, a table full of delicious-looking dishes was laid out.
Everyone stared in disbelief at what had happened.
Qiu Bojie was a foodie to begin with, and looking at the table full of delicious-looking dishes, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Everyone must be starving, hurry up and sit down to eat."
Yu Xuehui even abandoned her own beloved husband, sitting directly next to Xi Ran and serving her a lot of food.
"You're too thin, girl. Eat more. Your aunt is a pretty good cook. Eat more and gain some weight. That will make you look even better and prettier."
Xi Ran nodded shyly; Chu Jiangyi's mother wasn't as scary as she had imagined.
Very kind and gentle.
My tense mood gradually relaxed.
She was really afraid that Aunt Yu would be like the mothers of her high school classmates, who would find out about her family situation and stop her from seeing Chu Jiangyi anymore, fearing that she would corrupt their children. It seems that not all parents are the same.
"Thank you, Auntie. You should eat too."
Chu Jiang looked at his mother speechlessly and complained, "Mom, her bowl is already piled up like a small mountain. She can't eat that much. Let her finish before you take more. I have three good brothers and friends. You can't be biased and only give Xi Ran some food. There are three others. You can't ignore them, can you?"
Xiao Zhebin, Qiu Bojie, and Wen Jincheng all shook their heads.
"No need, we are all grown men, why would we need your care, Auntie? We have hands and feet, we can take care of ourselves. It's the little girl who needs to be taken care of."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Yes, yes, yes.
Yu Xuehui looked at the three boys and nodded in satisfaction, thinking to herself that they were much more perceptive than her own good-natured son.
"Look how sensible they are! They help themselves to whatever they want to eat without having to be polite with their aunt."
The three nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Zhebin winked at Chu Jiangyi, the meaning of which was self-evident; those who understood, understood.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, except for Xi Ran, who had some reservations. Her aunt was just too hospitable, and she couldn't handle it. However, out of politeness, she ate all the dishes her aunt served her.
