In the kitchen.
Zhang Cuixian and Su Beixue were wearing aprons, chatting and laughing.
"Oh dear, Mr. Su, you're a guest, how can we let you come and help?" Niu Dachun's mother said politely.
"Auntie, what are you saying?"
"I can't just eat and stay at your house for free, it's only right that I do some work."
Zhang Cuixian glanced at Niu Dachun discreetly and said deliberately.
"Ms. Su, you're not only beautiful, but also a female CEO worth over 100 million, and hardworking and virtuous. I really don't know what kind of man in this world could be worthy of you?"
Upon hearing this,
Su Beixue said self-deprecatingly.
"Auntie, you flatter me by saying that. I'm getting old now, and I'm known online as an 'older single woman.' I doubt anyone would be interested in an older single woman like me."
"Mr. Su, what are you saying?"
"You look to me no more than thirty-seven or thirty-eight, and you take such good care of yourself that you look no different from those twenty-something girls."
"How could someone like you have trouble getting married?"
"You're right, aren't you, Da Chun?"
"By the way, Da Chun, how about Boss Su becomes your wife?" Zhang Cuixian said, half seriously and half jokingly.
Niu Dachun squatted down to the side, cleaning fish. Listening to the two of them talking, Niu Dachun seriously suspected that his mother and Su Beixue had conspired to say these things to her on purpose.
However, if Niu Dachun's mother saw what he had seen, he wondered if she would think that this Boss Su was some kind of exceptionally good wife.
Niu Dachun glanced at Su Beixue beside him, whose face was beaming with an uncontrollable smile, like a rotten persimmon fallen to the ground in the countryside.
“Mom, Boss Su is already calling you Auntie, what right do I have to say anything?” Niu Dachun said calmly.
Upon hearing Niu Dachun's words, Su Beixue and Zhang Cuixian were overjoyed at the same time, and both put down their work to look at Niu Dachun.
"Da Chun, have you agreed?"
Their faces were filled with anticipation. Su Beixue's beautiful eyes, in particular, shone brightly, like stars in the night sky.
"Of course I agree!"
"How could I disagree? I completely agree!"
Upon hearing this,
Su Beixue felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and she was just one step away from calling Niu Dachun "husband." She hadn't expected Niu Dachun to agree so readily today.
Happiness came so suddenly!
"From now on, Da Chun, don't call me Boss Su anymore. Just call me Xuexue. That's my nickname." A girlish shyness even appeared on Su Beixue's face.
"ah?"
"What are you saying, Mr. Su?"
"Why should I call you Xuexue?" Niu Dachun looked at Su Beixue, who was infatuated with him, with a surprised expression.
Su Beixue looked at Niu Dachun with a puzzled expression.
"Dachun, didn't you agree?" Su Beixue asked Niu Dachun blankly.
"Yes, I agree. I agree that you can call my mother 'Auntie'."
“I didn’t agree to anything else,” Niu Dachun said.
Zhang Cuixian and Su Beixue both wore speechless expressions. They had been filled with joyful anticipation, only to be met with disappointment.
"So that's what you meant, Da Chun..." Su Beixue said with an awkward smile.
"Da Chun, you really are something, you can't even explain yourself clearly," Zhang Cuixian said angrily.
Niu Dachun handed the cleaned fish to Zhang Cuixian.
"If I don't agree with this, then what else could I agree with?"
"Mom, let's have grilled fish today. It's been so long since I've had your grilled fish," Niu Dachun said, changing the subject.
"Eat your big-headed ghost food, you look like a grilled fish to me."
"If I'm not here, who will make you grilled fish?" Zhang Cuixian said angrily to Niu Dachun.
"Mom, aren't you right here? How could you be gone?"
"But if you're really gone, then I'll just do it myself."
After saying that, Niu Dachun was about to leave the kitchen.
Where are you going?
"Boss Su is still here helping out."
"If you have nothing to do, then pick the celery."
"Alright!" Niu Dachun took the bunch of celery and started picking the vegetables.
Zhang Cuixian looked at Su Beixue beside her with a helpless expression on her face, as if some plan they had conspired together had failed.
Su Beixue quickly recovered from her embarrassment, after all, she had been mentally prepared and knew that this matter would not be so easy.
About thirty minutes later.
All the ingredients for tonight's meal have been prepared and placed next to the stove.
Niu Dachun sat by the stove, helping to add fuel to the fire.
Wearing an apron, Zhang Cuixian skillfully heated oil in a wok, instantly filling the kitchen with steaming white vapor that forced her to half-open her eyes.
Su Beixue, who was helping out, leaned back and kept her distance when she saw the scalding hot oil jumping up. It was obvious that Su Beixue didn't usually cook.
Besides, a boss like Su Beixue, who has a net worth of over 100 million yuan, doesn't need to cook for herself.
Zhang Cuixian wielded the spatula with clean, efficient movements, without a single unnecessary motion. Within just a few minutes, a rich aroma began to waft out.
Niu Dachun's mouth was already watering just from smelling it.
As Da Chun watched his mother being enveloped in white steam, he couldn't help but think of his father. If his father were here at this moment, the family would be complete.
Living a simple and peaceful life like this might not be such a bad thing.
Niu Dachun could now find a wife without worry. But that knot in his heart remained untied; ignoring it was simply impossible for him.
"It's done cooking!"
"Da Chun, go set the table!"
Zhang Cuixian exclaimed happily.
"Alright!" Niu Dachun emerged from his sorrow.
Now is not the time for Niu Dachun to think so much; what he should do now is enjoy the time he spends with his family.
Niu Dachun brought out the table, and at that moment, his elder brother and sister-in-law returned from outside...
