She had just finished serving the rice when Xiao Ran's vegetables were ready. He called out towards the sofa, "Mom, dinner's ready!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuru quickly stood up and walked towards the restaurant.
The braised carp on the table was arranged neatly and orderly.
The entire fish was remarkably intact.
Apart from the cut area, there was no peeling or other damage.
It's topped with a rich braised sauce and garnished with bright green cilantro.
Just looking at it makes me want to eat.
Seeing this, Qiu Yuru couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this fish dish not only smells delicious, but it looks even better! Xiao Ran is such a lucky guy!"
That's the truth.
Qiu Yuru has one flaw: she doesn't eat fish, and she certainly doesn't know how to cook it.
It's not that I'm allergic, but I get fish bones stuck in my throat very easily. Nine out of ten times I eat here, I get a fish bone stuck in my throat!
This isn't her being dramatic; it's genuine.
When Qiu Yuru was born, her family was not well-off.
Fish is not something we can eat often.
Back then, I was young and had a gluttonous appetite, so I would always stuff food into my mouth in a hurry.
Almost everyone gets a fishbone stuck in their throat and then feels uncomfortable for a day or two.
Later, after she got married, her life gradually improved.
But for some reason, I still got a choking every time I ate it, so I eventually stopped eating it altogether.
Firstly, to avoid being laughed at by others, and secondly, being stuck is indeed uncomfortable.
However, this does not prevent her from affirming the girl!
After all, nowadays, few girls know how to cook, and even fewer are willing to cook.
For this reason alone, we should encourage it!
Hearing her aunt say that, the girl smiled sincerely.
"Auntie, you flatter me. I just learned how to cook. Brother Xiao Ran's cooking is much better than mine. I'm the one who's lucky to have such good food."
I've been eating his food for three years.
She'd only been doing it for a few days, and if she were to compare herself to others, she felt she was the one who was truly lucky with the food!
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuru couldn't help but feel happy.
A common trait among mothers is that they love hearing others praise their children; it makes them even happier than hearing praise for themselves.
"Mom, sit down and eat." Xiao Ran smiled and pulled out a chair for his mother to sit down.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time.
To be honest, he also misses his mother quite a bit.
Seeing this, the sensible girl quickly handed over the chopsticks.
"Auntie, please try the fish. If there's anything you didn't do well, please tell me so I can do it better next time."
Xiao Ran quickly replied, "Well, my mom doesn't eat fish."
Qiu Yuru doesn't eat fish; this is something the whole family knows.
Upon hearing this, the girl looked surprised and instinctively asked with concern, "Why? Is it an allergy?"
She was starting to regret buying the fish!
If only you had bought meat, then Auntie wouldn't be unable to eat.
I always feel guilty for not being a good host if I only eat vegetables.
Seeing the girl's disappointment, Qiu Yuru quickly explained, "It's not an allergy. Don't laugh at me, but even though I'm old, I always get fish bones stuck in my throat when I eat fish, so I just stopped eating it altogether."
This is true, it's not that she's being dramatic, it's just that she herself can't quite understand this situation.
What kind of weird constitution does she have? Everyone else attracts wealth, but she attracts fish bones...
The girl blinked, her face suddenly realizing something.
"Oh, I see..."
She thought it was an allergy to fish. If it's not an allergy, then things will be much easier!
Thinking it over, the girl quickly straightened up, took another clean plate from the kitchen, and carefully picked out all the meat from her stomach.
Then take a toothpick from the toothpick box and patiently pick out all the fish bones.
Then he placed it next to the aunt and said with a smile, "Auntie, you can eat it now!"
She genuinely felt that eating only vegetables was too pitiful!
Seeing how considerate the girl was to her mother, Xiao Ran felt both touched and guilty.
What's touching is that she's also so good to her own mother.
What I feel guilty about is that, as a son, for so many years I've always thought that since my mother doesn't eat fish, it would be fine if I didn't eat it either.
But I never thought of helping her remove the fish bones.
Compared to her, I really am too careless.
Qiu Yuru looked at the fish with its bones removed and was deeply moved.
"I'm so sorry, please eat your food and don't worry about me."
I'm over forty years old myself, so it's only right that I take care of the younger generation.
But today, instead of taking care of the child, I was taken care of by her in a very comforting way.
Besides being touched, I also felt a strong liking for her.
She's so sensible.
If this child weren't Yan Li's sister, I would have wanted to arrange a relationship between her and my son!
She smiled and picked up a piece of fish, placing it in the girl's bowl, her eyes full of tenderness.
"You should eat some too. It's good for a young girl's skin if she eats more fish."
After saying that, he picked up a piece of fish that the girl had peeled and put it in his mouth.
As the fish, glistening with a little broth, burst in her taste buds, its deliciousness made her nod in agreement; the fish was truly delicious.
She gave the girl a thumbs up and said with certainty, "Great job!"
The girl was overjoyed to hear that Qiu Yuru liked to eat it.
I was busy getting a plate and picking out more for her.
Qiu Yuru felt bad and reached out to stop her, "No need, no need, these are already two big pieces, that's enough, don't just think about me, eat some yourself too."
