Bai Yu really wanted to help. Jiang Fan's family was in a special situation in the military area, and few people were willing to invite them over for dinner.
Therefore, she rarely came into contact with the families of the military district, and the only people she met every day were students and teachers from the school.
Yesterday, she and Li Qingyun hit it off right away and had a very comfortable communication. She felt that Old Gu was quite the daughter-in-law for her.
He is good-looking, has decent manners and conversation, and is very particular about his interpersonal relationships.
It was rare for her to want to get close to someone, so she took the initiative to come early to help with things. You should know that she could not cook whether she was at her husband's house or her own family.
It was a rare opportunity for her to help, but she was rejected. There was a hint of disappointment on her face.
"How about you help me look after the child for a while?" Li Qingyun asked hurriedly when she saw that she was a little disappointed.
"Okay!" Bai Yu happily accepted the task and touched Erbao's face happily.
Erbao was not shy either. He looked up at her and gave her a cute smile, with his tiny teeth standing out particularly well.
Seeing that the two were having a good time, Li Qingyun went into the kitchen to help.
It’s about time. Let’s cook the tofu first, and then stir-fry some vegetables when everyone arrives.
Tofu was cooking in the pot over here, and Gu Tingzhou ran back hurriedly, as if a dog was chasing him.
Bai Yu rarely saw him lose his composure like this. Although he was not very elegant, he was always meticulous.
I thought to myself, the land of gentleness is indeed the burial place of heroes!
"Wife, I'm back. Is there anything I can help you with?" He greeted Bai Yu and hurried to the kitchen.
Li Qingyun tasted the tofu in the pot and found that it tasted just right.
"I can handle the kitchen by myself. Please tidy up our dining table. If there aren't enough benches, add two small ones to squeeze in. Then take out these dishes and steamed buns, and put the dishes and chopsticks in place." Li Qingyun instructed while covering the pot.
"Okay!" Gu Tingzhou went to do it immediately.
"By the way, when will your comrades arrive? Don't let the food get cold if we serve it out so early."
"It's okay, they are all off work. We originally agreed to come together, but I thought you couldn't handle it alone, so I ran back to help you." Gu Tingzhou said with ease, holding a pot of food in one hand.
"Okay, you go first."
Li Qingyun served the Mapo Tofu and started cooking quickly. They should be arriving soon.
While the two were busy, a group of five people pushed the door open and came in.
"Hmm, what an overbearing aroma. Looks like I'm in for a treat today."
"Yeah, the cold rabbit Tingzhou sent last time was made by your sister-in-law, right? It was so delicious that it almost made my tongue drop."
"Of course, everyone in my family loves it." Jiang Fan also praised.
"Tingzhou is now as tough as a Hundred League Steel and as soft as silk. He didn't even wait for us and ran away so fast that we couldn't see his trace." Someone joked.
Gu Tingzhou put the dishes on the table and hurried out to invite the guests to come in and sit down.
Li Qingyun took the dishes in her hand and took them out. She took off her apron and greeted everyone.
After a brief introduction, Li Qingyun took Erbao and put him in the baby chair. She broke off half a steamed bun for him to chew on, and asked Baiyu to sit down and eat.
Dabao and Taotao are still young, so it is inconvenient for them to sit at the table. Li Qingyun set up a separate table for the two little brothers on the coffee table so that they can continue playing after dinner.
"Hey, Old Chen, didn't you say your wife was coming over today?" Gu Tingzhou asked in surprise.
The man called Lao Chen looked unhappy. He groaned for a few seconds and said, "Let's eat first and ignore her."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Li Qingyun didn't know how to respond and could only remain silent.
Bai Yu rolled his eyes and said nothing.
"Tingzhou, that's great. The decoration of this hall is so exquisite, especially the pot of scenery on the coffee table. I really like it." Someone interrupted and came to the rescue.
This was Gu Tingzhou's former leader and also a good friend. Looking at the layout of the entire main hall, he felt a little regretful that he had not chosen this small courtyard before, but chose the building instead.
"This was all arranged by my wife, just take a look at it." Gu Tingzhou said arrogantly.
In fact, he was stunned for a second when he entered the room just now. Is this still his ordinary living room?
How come the house looks different when I come back after a day away? It looks really pleasing to the eye.
Bai Yu hadn't noticed Fa before, so he picked up the bonsai on the table and looked at it carefully, even forgetting the delicious food on the table.
"Sister-in-law, I want it too!" This kid is so direct that Jiang Fan was shocked by his wife's "shamelessness".
"Okay, just find a basin and I'll help you arrange it." Li Qingyun didn't care, it didn't cost any money anyway.
Finally, Gu Tingzhou’s former boss also wanted one, and shamelessly asked Li Qingyun to help him get one, which was ridiculed by everyone.
After finishing the pre-dinner conversation and business compliments, everyone started to eat officially. Fortunately, most of the dishes were large pots, and the temperature was just right.
After taking the first bite, the whole scene on the table changed.
There was complete silence, with only the sound of chopsticks being picked up.
I was afraid that I would be slow to pick it up.
Even Jiang Fan and Bai Yu, who were used to eating good food, were the same.
Their family has an aunt who specializes in cooking, and the food usually doesn’t seem bad, but when compared with Li Qingyun’s cooking skills, the aunt’s cooking suddenly seems mediocre.
Only when they were somewhat full did they start drinking the wine that Li Qingyun had prepared for them.
Those are the topics men talk about.
Li Qingyun and Bai Yu were minding their own business, chatting and drinking wine.
Bai Yu had never tasted this kind of homemade wine before, and she liked it very much, drinking sip after sip. But there was no need to worry, as the alcohol content of this wine was very low and it was difficult to get drunk.
The atmosphere is lively
"Huh? You've all eaten? I'm late!" A young woman in a fashionable coat walked in.
There was a bright smile on his face, but his words were full of sarcasm.
Is she really going to make a whole table of people wait for her? It's really nonsense.
The expressions of everyone at the table changed, but no one spoke out of courtesy.
Bai Yu rolled her eyes again.
Her husband stood up and said unhappily with a dark face: "You are late, why don't you come and sit down." It's embarrassing.
After the man said a few words to the woman, the smile on her face disappeared, and she walked to the man and sat down awkwardly.
As the host, he could only pretend that nothing had happened. Li Qingyun smiled awkwardly, handed her a set of bowls and chopsticks, and told her to eat quickly.
The woman frowned and whispered, whether intentionally or not, "I don't like eating leftovers!"
The literal meaning of this sentence is easy to understand, but Li Qingyun heard a hint of provocation in her tone.
