Chapter 877 I somehow feel that my father-in-law is so pitiful!
So Lin Fan settled down in the Xia family with peace of mind. During the day, when Xia Shaozhang went to work, Lin Fan took Xia Yan and Xia Yan's mother out for shopping and eating.
In the evening, when Xia Shaozhang gets off work, the family eats together harmoniously, watches TV, chats and talks, and occasionally goes out to play together, go to the movies, attend music festivals and other activities.
Xia Shaozhang felt that if his wife wasn't so partial, he could get along harmoniously with Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Xia Shaozhang blurted out the first sentence as soon as he got home.
But before Lin Fan could answer, Xia Yan's mother took over: "Whatever you cook, you eat. Why are you asking so many questions?"
"I'm just asking. Is it not okay to ask now?"
Xia Shaozhang muttered something, then ran to the kitchen following the smell. Looking at Lin Fan who was cooking, he was very pleased: "Boiled meat?"
Lin Fan replied, "Yes, there is also your favorite steamed spareribs, Uncle Xia, as well as beer duck, pickled fish, and a soybean and pig's trotter soup to supplement collagen for Auntie and Yanyan."
Xia Shaozhang was very satisfied: "Lin Fan, your cooking skills are getting better and better, but I've been eating too much meat recently, so I want to eat something light."
Xia Yan's mother came in and took Xia Shaozhang out: "Cook whatever you want to eat! How can you order a child around like this?"
"How could I order the child around? I was just giving some advice!"
"If you have any opinions, keep them to yourself!"
"I can't hold it back!"
"If you can't hold it in, then don't come back!"
“…”
Xia Shaozhang sat at the dining table angrily, looking at his bowl which was obviously smaller than others: "Why are your portions different from mine?"
Did the three of you collude to deduct my food? Xia Yan's mother said: "Since Fanfan came back home, Shaozhang, you have gained five pounds. For your health, we have unanimously decided that you only need to eat 60% full for dinner every day.
In addition, I will urge you to exercise to prevent you from overeating and getting high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high cholesterol. As for losing weight, forget it. It's only five pounds of fat. I can accept it. But more than that is not acceptable. If you dare to gain weight to the point of deforming your body, hehe."
Xia Shaozhang was frightened by Xia Yan's mother's "humph", "It's not that serious, it's only five pounds!"
Is it a problem for men to be fat? Not at all!
"I don't care about other men, but my man can't be so fat that he loses his figure."
Xia Shaozhang was still unconvinced, but before he could say anything, he found Lin Fan coming over and whispering to him, "Uncle Xia, I'll give you a midnight snack tonight!"
Xia Shaozhang's eyes lit up, and he immediately didn't want to argue with Xia Yan's mother: As a man, you should be more generous and not argue with your woman about such trivial matters.
Then in the middle of the night, Xia Shaozhang quietly got up while Xia Yan's mother was asleep. He didn't dare to turn on the light, and with the little light from his mobile phone screen, he went to the kitchen. As expected, he saw Lin Fan making a midnight snack for him.
"Uncle Xia..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Xia Shaozhang lowered his voice to the lowest level, "Don't wake up the others. By the way, what did you do for midnight snack?"
Lin Fan also imitated Xia Shaozhang's whisper and said, "I made steamed spareribs with fermented black beans. The original flavor is fresh, fragrant and nutritious. The spareribs are fresh, fragrant and tender. The meat is steamed until it falls off the bones. It melts in your mouth and is easier to digest. I also made yam porridge to promote digestion, but Uncle Xia, you can't go to sleep right after eating."
"I know, I know. Don't worry!" Xia Shaozhang assured, "I won't eat too much either. Just eat until you're 70% full."
Having said that, Xia Shaozhang still ate up all the steamed spare ribs and yam porridge by himself, leaving nothing behind.
Not only was there nothing left, but I also ordered a midnight snack for tomorrow night, then went to the gym for almost an hour before going back to sleep.
So, a few days later, Xia Yan's mother found that the weight loss plan she had made for Xia Shaozhang was not only useless, but also made this man gain another three pounds! "Did you eat secretly in the middle of the night?"
"How is that possible!" Xia Shaozhang argued, "Am I that kind of person?"
Xia Yan’s mother: “Yes!”
Xia Shaozhang: My wife is heartbroken! In order to clear himself of suspicion, Xia Shaozhang took the initiative to find Lin Fan and asked him to suspend the midnight snack plan for a few days. Lin Fan naturally agreed and said that Xia Shaozhang could just tell him when to resume the midnight snack plan.
Xia Yan's mother was vigilant for several days and found that Xia Shaozhang really did not eat secretly in the middle of the night, so she dispelled her doubts. Of course, inevitably, Xia Shaozhang's dinner portion was reduced by 10%, and he could only eat until he was 50% full every day.
But since there was a midnight snack waiting for him in the evening, Xia Shaozhang didn't mind eating more or less for dinner.
Moreover, you can order dishes for midnight snack. If Xia Shaozhang was not afraid of being discovered by Xia Yan’s mother, he would have hated to not have dinner and only have midnight snack.
Xia Shaozhang was really embarrassed for not talking too much about someone who had eaten his food. While eating the special meal that Lin Fan prepared for him, he still raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Fan in a stern manner. His attitude towards Lin Fan became much more moderate, at least his attitude in front of others and behind their backs was more consistent.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
That day, Lin Fan finished making supper for Xia Shaozhang again and returned to Xia Yan's room. As soon as he sat down on the bed, he was hugged by a pair of arms: "You haven't slept yet?"
"Waiting for you." Xia Yan felt a little distressed, "You get up in the middle of the night every day to make supper for my dad. You've worked hard."
"What's so hard about this? I want to marry your father's precious daughter, and this is what I should do. Just making midnight snacks can satisfy your father, and it's easy for him to let go of his prejudice against me."
Moreover, many dishes were already prepared when making dinner, but they were just left in the pot without Xia Shaozhang noticing. When it was evening, Lin Fan only needed to go down and turn on the fire to heat it up before eating.
It doesn't take much.
Moreover, in order to prevent Lin Fan from getting up in the middle of his sleep to make midnight snacks for Xia Shaozhang, both Xia Yan and Xia Yan's mother have been "going to bed" very early recently, saying they are tired and sleepy and want to rest before eight o'clock.
The time when Lin Fan "made midnight snack" was actually less than 11 o'clock in the evening, which really did not affect Lin Fan's rest time at all.
"I feel like my dad's attitude toward you has almost changed. Just observe for a few more days, and then we can finish this plan."
Yes, the "midnight snack plan" was proposed by Xia Yan's mother, who personally took charge of it. It was a plan formulated in response to Xia Shaozhang's inner prejudice against Lin Fan.
The purpose is to "improve" the relationship between Xia Shaozhang and Lin Fan.
In the whole plan, Xia Yan's mother played the villain, Lin Fan played the hero, Xia Yan was responsible for eating melons, and the only person who was kept in the dark was Xia Shaozhang.
According to Xia Yan's observation, the plan was progressing very smoothly, victory was in sight, and it was time to wrap it up.
Lin Fan was silent: I somehow felt that my old father-in-law was so pitiful!
Forget it. I'll make more delicious food for my father-in-law in the future to make up for his devastated heart.
