Lin Jiaojiao took the initiative to call Zhang Xiuqin from next door over.
Everyone sat down around the table, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
"Oh, my! Look how well-groomed this house is! A house should have a mistress!"
Zhang Xiuqin was busy as soon as she entered the door, and kept praising.
"And these two children look so good dressed up! Huai'an, you are so blessed!"
Ji Huaian agreed with a smile, his eyes also full of happiness.
Seeing Lin Jiaojiao coming out with a plate, he immediately went forward to help.
"Let me do it!"
"There's still some in the kitchen!"
"Everyone, please don't be polite and eat as much as you want."
"What a nice smell! What a beautiful color! Is this braised pork?"
Political Commissar Zhou stared at the large plate of braised pork on the table, his eyes shining, no longer the seriousness he had when he first entered the room.
Zhang Xiuqin, who was standing next to her, was also surprised: "The color is comparable to the braised pork in state-owned restaurants!"
"Then why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"
"Then I won't be polite!" Political Commissar Zhou couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of red and shiny meat and put it into his mouth. It was sweet and soft, melted in the mouth, and wrapped the entire mouth, making people unable to stop.
"How about it?"
Zhang Xiuqin looked expectant.
Political Commissar Zhou's eyes lit up, and he didn't bother to talk at all. He picked up another piece and put it in his mouth, nodding his head frantically. "It's even better than the ones in the state-owned restaurant. This is so delicious! Come on, try it, and give the two children a piece too!"
Zhang Xiuqin quickly put a piece into each of her two children's bowls before putting her own piece into her mouth.
Same expression, same disbelief!
"This smell... Jiaojiao, how did you make it?"
"It's my exclusive secret recipe. If Auntie wants to learn it, can we discuss it when we have a chance?"
"OK!"
“The food is here!”
Ji Huaian brought out the spicy and sour potato shreds and tofu soup together.
The light yellow potato shreds, each covered with shiny oil, look particularly beautiful under the light.
Pick up a chopstick and put it in your mouth.
The sweet and sour taste instantly dissolves the softness of the braised pork.
The large white bowl is filled with fresh soup.
The white tofu collides with the green kelp, the clear and fresh soup is topped with some chopped green onions, and some clear little oil droplets float on the surface.
It tastes delicious and sweet just by looking at it.
Ji Huaian served a bowl of soup to everyone.
Zhang Xiuqin carefully examined the small bowl in her hand: "It's so beautiful. I can tell at a glance that you're someone who understands life!"
"No, I just thought it was pretty when I went to buy the bowl, so I bought it."
"Mmm! This soup is delicious!"
Political Commissar Zhou couldn't wait to take a big sip of the soup.
The fresh aroma of kelp wrapped in the bean fragrance of tofu is simply delicious!
The two little guys were also excited after drinking it.
"It's delicious! I want more!"
"I want to eat meat!"
Wang Xiaofeng is lively and cheerful. If he wants to eat something but can't reach it, he will ask Ji Huaian and Lin Jiaojiao for it.
Ji Linxue, on the other hand, was having a good time playing with her brother just now, but once she sat at the table, she didn't dare to speak because there were so many people around. She lowered her head and looked at the bowl in her hand. She would eat if someone gave her food, and just watch if someone else didn't.
Ji Huaian was not careful before and didn't notice it.
Seeing my child like this now, I just feel sad.
But I also understand that if you want your child to completely let down his guard and become cheerful, it's not enough to just talk about it.
I could only silently pick up some of her favorite dishes for her.
"Try it too."
Ji Huaian looked up in surprise, and just then he saw Lin Jiaojiao's gentle smile. He immediately stuffed the meat in his bowl into his mouth.
Although I have been listening to Zhang Xiuqin and Political Commissar Zhou praising it for a long time.
But when I really tasted it myself, I couldn’t help but be amazed!
I ate dinner very quickly today.
Ji Huaian originally planned to pour a glass of wine for Political Commissar Zhou so that everyone could have a drink together to relax.
Unexpectedly, the food was almost finished before the bottle of wine was opened.
Even the soup base was scraped clean.
When Political Commissar Zhou and his wife arrived home, they were still reluctant to leave.
"Huaian is a really good daughter-in-law!"
"That's right! Not only is she good-looking, but she's also a great cook, especially that braised pork. I've been cooking for over 20 years, and this is the first time I've eaten something so delicious!"
Zhang Xiuqin's face was full of envy.
"It would be great if our Xiangnan could marry such a good wife!"
"You're counting on him?"
Political Commissar Zhou looked helpless.
"As long as he doesn't bring back all that mess, I'll be so lucky. Why would he find such a good wife? Stop causing trouble for me!"
"Hey, what you said...our son is not that bad."
Zhang Xiuqin's voice became softer and softer, and she even felt embarrassed.
Thinking of that unfortunate son, I feel worried.
…
Lin Jiaojiao was about to clean up when Ji Huaian grabbed her hand and took her away from the dining table and sat her on the chair next to her.
"I told you to leave it to me, I'll wash the rest."
"Okay! Then you better be careful not to break the tableware I just bought."
"Of course not!"
Lin Jiaojiao saw that Ji Huaian didn't leave after he finished speaking, and just squatted in front of her and looked up: "Why are you staring at me?"
"I want to take a good look at you."
“…”
Ji Huaian reached out to help Lin Jiaojiao tidy up her hair.
The movements are natural and gentle.
"My wife is such a treasure. I didn't know you could cook so deliciously."
“I guess I have talent!”
Ever since she could remember in her previous life, Lin Jiaojiao had been trained in hands-on skills.
There's no way. She is an orphan and can't ask too much from life. Just being alive is enough.
Ji Huaian was amused by Lin Jiaojiao's arrogant look.
Under the light, the small dimple on the man's angular face was particularly bright, making Lin Jiaojiao unable to take her eyes away.
In a daze, Ji Huaian suddenly said: "I'm really sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?"
"Actually, I've never had any requirements for food, so cooking for myself is just so-so. I went to your house before and thought the food was delicious. I didn't expect that you could cook so well. I'm afraid you'll be wronged if you follow me in the future."
"From now on, if you want to cook, you can cook. If you don't want to, we can go to the cafeteria to eat. I don't want you to marry me and be tied to the kitchen every day."
This is the first time I heard Ji Huaian bring up this topic.
She had heard about this from her colleagues before.
But most of the time everyone is complaining.
Female colleagues complained that after getting married, they had to work during the day and wash clothes and cook when they got home at night. When they had a little free time, they felt uncomfortable seeing the dirt on the floor and had to mop the floor again. They were so busy that they had no time for themselves.
As for men, they just use their mobile phones every day, either watching short videos or playing games.
Turn a blind eye to everything in front of you.
Moreover, most of my colleagues complain that their husbands have no requirements for the quality of life. If you ask them to do some work, the good ones will move when you ask them, but the bad ones will not listen at all. Instead, they think you are too demanding and are going to tear the floor apart.
