"Dad, I'll go with you." Zhou Mo stood up.
"Your dad can go alone, come with me and make dumplings."
Zhou Mo was immediately disappointed and lost interest. "Oh, okay."
Zhou was changing his shoes by the door. Seeing Zhou Mo was unhappy, he asked, "I can go by myself. You help your mother make dumplings. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll buy it for you."
Zhou Mo regained his spirits, "I want to drink Coke."
Zhou Zheng: "Anything else?"
Zhou Mo: "It's been hot lately, I want to eat ice cream."
"Okay, what flavor do you want?" Zhou Zheng asked.
Zhou Mo: "Corn."
Liu Xiangru came out of the kitchen with a knife in her hand. "Don't buy it for her. The doctor said she can't eat cold food."
Zhou Mo was unhappy, "I can't even eat ice cream, Mom, you're too strict."
Liu Xiangru glared at her: "Is it okay if I don't care? Girls should learn to take care of themselves, especially at your age, when all functions are starting to decline, you should pay special attention."
Zhou Mo wanted to argue, but when he thought that if she said anything else, she would definitely lecture him again, he got scared and had to surrender.
"Dad, I don't want anything anymore."
Zhou Zheng: "I bought you some peach juice. Don't you like peach juice?"
"Yeah," Zhou Mo responded reluctantly, obviously still unhappy.
After watching Zhou Zheng leave, she turned and went to the kitchen.
Liu Xiangru was mixing the filling of leeks and eggs, with fresh shrimp, fish fillets, pork and Chinese cabbage next to it.
Zhou Mo washed his hands and walked to Liu Xiangru to help wash the vegetables.
"Peel the shrimp and some garlic." Liu Xiangru instructed.
"Oh," Zhou Mo responded, using a knife to open the shrimp's back, cut off the head and tail, and pick out the shrimp thread.
Ten minutes later.
Someone opened the door outside, and the mother and daughter knew that it was Zhou Zheng who had returned.
Liu Xiangru and Zhou Mo were still busy in the kitchen.
Just then, they heard chaotic footsteps at the door, and Zhou Zheng's voice suddenly appeared: "Momo is in the kitchen, making dumplings with her mother. I'll find you a pair of slippers."
Liu Xiangru heard the voice and someone in the kitchen called out, "Old Zhou, who's here? Is it Xin Yun?"
Zhou Zheng: "No, it's Han Chen who's here."
Liu Xiangru suddenly put down the work in her hands, wiped her hands simply, and left the kitchen.
"Han Chen is here," Liu Xiangru called out quickly, "Come on, sit inside."
Han Chen quickly picked up the two boxes beside him and handed them to Liu Xiangru politely, "Aunt Liu, I bought some things for you on the way here."
Liu Xiangru looked down and saw two boxes of pastries, the recently famous BOBOCAKE.
"Come on, what are you bringing?"
"You still have to bring some gifts as a token of your appreciation," Han Chen reminded him, "There's a box of ice cream, so put it in the freezer."
Liu Xiangru took it and handed it to Zhou Zheng, "Old Zhou, hurry up and put it in the refrigerator before it melts."
Zhou Zheng took the item and said, "This child is sensible, but he is also a little distant."
Zhou Mo came out of the kitchen with a shrimp in his hand, and saw Liu Xiangru escorting Han Chen to the sofa in the living room. She enthusiastically served him tea and water, and even peeled an apple for him to eat.
Han Chen thanked him and quickly refused, "Aunt Liu, please stop working."
Looking up, they saw Zhou Mo peeling shrimps while looking at them.
Han Chen quickly stood up and said, "I'll help you."
Then he followed Zhou Mo into the kitchen.
"Hey," Liu Xiangru followed behind the two of them, "Han Chen, you're a guest, how can I bother you? Go sit in the living room, the dumplings will be ready soon."
"It's okay, Aunt Liu. I'll help you out. It'll save you time and effort."
Liu Xiangru was about to say something when there was another knock on the door.
Zhou Zheng opened the door.
It’s Liang Xinyun.
Zhou Zheng greeted Liang Xinyun and called to the kitchen, "Xiangru, Han Chen's mother is here."
"Xin Yun is here," Liu Xiangru turned and went to the door.
The two old sisters were so happy to see each other.
Liang Xinyun saw a pair of men's sneakers placed at the door and asked, "Has Han Chen arrived yet? I saw his car downstairs."
Liu Xiangru: "Here we are, in the kitchen."
Liang Xinyun was surprised, "Really?"
Han Chen came out of the kitchen, "Mom."
Liang Xinyun glanced at him and said, "You are quite fast. You are here as soon as you say you will."
Han Chen was a little embarrassed and said, "My place is close to Yuanshangju."
Liang Xinyun complained, "You live in the city, which is close to here. I live in a nursing home, and every time I go to the city, it takes two hours to take a taxi."
Han Chen: "I'll pick you up next time."
Liang Xinyun: "No, why bother going back and forth? Isn't the house here already decorated? I'll buy the furniture in a few days and move in."
Liu Xiangru was overjoyed, "You're moving in soon?"
Liang Xinyun: "I have this plan, that is..."
She glanced at Han Chen embarrassment. "That brat, he came to Dongjiang and insisted on buying a house there. He's drained all my savings, and with all the expenses of renovating the house, I don't have enough money left to buy furniture. I'll wait until he works for a few more months, saves some money, and gets the furniture ready. Then I'll move in. It's not a big deal to live in a nursing home all the time."
Liu Xiangru pulled Liang Xinyun and said, "Well, buying furniture is such a big deal? Young people are under a lot of pressure nowadays, and we parents have no choice but to help out. Han Chen can't make money in a day or two, so you'll have to wait forever to wait for him. Lao Zhou and I bought this furniture for you."
Liang Xinyun exclaimed, "Ah? This is unacceptable, this..."
Liu Xiangru half-jokingly said, "What's wrong with that? Just think of it as a dowry for Momo. Isn't this the custom in marriages nowadays? The man buys the house and the woman buys the furniture?"
Zhou Mo was speechless and her face was dark. She looked up at Han Chen beside her, but found that there was a faint smile on his face, and he looked quite comfortable.
To vent her frustration, she nudged him with her elbow.
"What's wrong?" Han Chen looked at her.
"Don't you want to express your opinion?" Zhou Mo asked.
"What's your opinion? I think it's good."
"Hey," Zhou Mo was furious, "You're a spendthrift, you've spent all of Aunt Liang's money, and now you're targeting our family."
Han Chen looked at her, still with a faint smile on his face.
He originally wanted to say that he had set his sights on her family, but not for money, but for her.
Of course, he didn't say anything because both parents were present.
When Liu Xiangru heard Zhou Mo's complaints, she couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with what he said. "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? How can Han Chen be considered a spendthrift? He just came to Dongjiang and has only been working for a few days. Besides, he has a car and a house now, what good conditions."
Zhou Mo stuck out his tongue and put Liu Xiangru's words behind his mind.
Anyway, in her eyes, Han Chen is good in every way, and her daughter is not good in every way.
Liu Xiangru said to Han Chen again: "Han Chen, don't listen to Momo's nonsense. She has been spoiled by us since she was a child, and her words are without limit."
Han Chen was very generous and natural, and said: "It's okay, Momo is right, I am indeed in debt now."
Liu Xiangru was surprised. "What's going on? Why are you still in debt?"
