Father Gu feigned surprise and said, "Yours are also shoes, which means Shushu bought me a short-sleeved shirt. This little girl is really thoughtful. I was just telling your mother a while ago that my clothes were all torn and I wanted to buy a short-sleeved shirt."
Gu Jiuyan couldn't stand people showing off in front of him, so he poured cold water on them.
"It's because I didn't remember your shoe size that Shushu bought you a short-sleeved shirt."
The subtext is that Father Gu is not partial to him, but it was an accident that Gu Jiuyan forgot about him.
This is even more heartbreaking.
Gu was dumbfounded on the spot.
Gu's mother and the other three had not expected this result. The little jealousy in their hearts disappeared without a trace in an instant, and they burst into laughter.
Mother Gu still felt unsatisfied and started to laugh at Father Gu.
"Look at you, what were you showing off to us just now? Look, your son doesn't even know what size shoes you wear. You're such a failure as a father."
Whether he failed or not, Gu's father didn't know.
Father Gu only knew that his heart was about to be broken into pieces.
My son remembers everyone in the family's shoe size except his.
Woo woo woo… He wanted to cry.
Mother Gu happily put on her new shoes and said, "Son, invite Shushu to our house for dinner tomorrow. I'll show her my cooking skills and let her taste my cooking skills."
Gu Jiuyan thought of his mother's deadly cooking skills and ruthlessly refused.
"If you don't tell me, I'll go and invite her myself." Mother Gu planned to take her daughter-in-law to the department store after dinner tomorrow and buy her some clothes as a return gift.
Gu Jiuyan said coldly: "Last time you cooked when we were not at home and almost burned the house down. This time you invited Shushu to dinner, are you going to send her to the hospital?"
Having her son expose her secrets in public, Mother Gu blushed and said unnaturally, "That was all an accident, and you also said it happened last time. It's been so long since the last time, and my cooking skills have improved. Just agree to it."
Gu Jiuyan still refused with a cold face.
Mother Gu said, "I don't cook. I'll let your father do it and I'll just help out. That should be fine, right?"
"Okay." Gu Jiuyan agreed readily.
Mother Gu asked again, "Do you want me to talk to Shushu?"
Gu Jiuyan, who was having trouble finding an excuse to meet the girl, quickly agreed to the offer.
"I'll take care of this. I'll make a list for you later, and you can ask my dad to buy the things on the list."
When it was almost time for dinner in the afternoon, Gu Jiuyan came over to the Shen family. Shen Baichuan, who was sitting in the yard picking vegetables, looked at Gu Jiuyan who came uninvited and flew a cold look at him.
This guy just left not long ago, why is he here again? Is he treating the Shen family as his own theater?
Lin Zhiyi said enthusiastically, "Jiuyan, you've come just in time. Your uncle went to the black market and bought a chicken. We're going to make chicken and mushroom stew tonight. You might as well stay and have some."
Gu Jiuyan, who wanted to stay with the little girl for a while longer, immediately agreed. He squatted down and helped pick vegetables.
"Stinky boy, go and deal with the chicken in the kitchen. I'm going to use it to cook later." Shen Baichuan was not polite at all when it came to using people.
Also slaughtering a chicken, Gu Jiuyan, holding the knife in his hand, seemed to be handling a work of art, and Shen Yunshu was a little fascinated by it.
At this moment, she was extremely glad that she acted early, otherwise she would have missed out on such a high-quality boyfriend.
Shen Baichuan didn't want Gu Jiuyan to steal the limelight again, so he was the one who cooked dinner today, and Gu Jiuyan was helping him.
Just bury your head in work and be busy as hell.
With the help of Gu Jiuyan, Shen Baichuan completed four dishes and one soup.
Tomato and egg soup, chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised fish fillets, cold-mixed wood ear and cucumber, and Shen Yunshu's favorite flavored eggplant.
The flavored eggplant was so soft and shapeless that Gu Jiuyan took a bite and found it bitter and salty.
In front of his father-in-law, he swallowed it without changing his expression.
"How is it?" Shen Baichuan looked nervous.
He had been secretly practicing this flavored eggplant dish for a long time, and this was the first time he served it to others.
Gu Jiuyan shook his head, and Shen Baichuan's gripping heart suddenly fell to the ground.
He hurriedly grabbed the chopsticks, but as soon as the eggplant entered his mouth, he spat it out.
"Pah, why is it so disgusting?"
"When I was frying it just now, I over-fried it, and the ingredients were put in the wrong way." As he spoke, Gu Jiuyan saw the extra eggplant strips on the chopping board. He quickly put them into the oil pan and fried them again, and then started over.
Shen Baichuan frowned, standing aside and not daring to disturb him too much, concentrating on studying hard.
Shen Yunshu, who came to check when dinner would be served, opened the curtain and saw a rare harmonious scene between her father and Gu Jiuyan.
She covered her mouth and laughed, then walked out lightly.
Only when her father and Gu Jiuyan have a good relationship, she, as a daughter, will not be caught in the middle and feel embarrassed.
The flavored eggplant dish that Gu Jiuyan made again quickly became popular as soon as it was served.
Lin Zhiyi praised, "Jiuyan, you made this flavored eggplant really well. When I have time tomorrow, I'll definitely ask you how to make it."
After learning how to make it, she made it for her baby daughter.
When Shen Baichuan heard his wife praising others, he felt bitter in his heart, and his mind was full of the flavored eggplant he had just failed to make.
He...this father, isn't he doing a very unqualified job.
I can’t even cook my daughter’s favorite dish.
Gu Jiuyan smiled and said, "Aunt Lin, all the dishes today were made by Uncle Shen. I just helped out."
Shen Baichuan raised his head abruptly and looked at Gu Jiuyan in disbelief.
