Yan Xin gritted his teeth. Why did he feel like he was being teased?
Guan Jibai had indeed made thorough preparations, having bought nearly all the ingredients needed for the seven days of the Lunar New Year holiday. Since it was cold, she could store them in the yard to freeze without worrying about them spoiling. In the afternoon, she prepared the copper stove, a small piece of charcoal, various vegetables, and mutton.
Everything was bought ready-made at the market. Auntie Tao made the hot pot soup base for her, stewing it early in the morning and turning off the heat just before she left. Now all she had to do was put the soup base in the heated copper pot and serve it on the table.
As the charcoal burns, the unique aroma of mutton comes out.
"What a nice smell." Guan Wanwan was almost drooling at the smell and said with emotion, "Xiaobai, you are amazing. It's all my fault. I was too busy and couldn't cook for you. When I'm not busy anymore, I'll cook for you from now on!"
"You should take a break!" Guan Jibai said politely, "You're better off cooking for me than taking advantage of Aunt Tao's cooking. Oh, and the spices for today's mutton stew were brought back by Aunt Tao from the state-owned restaurant. The chef gave them to her specially!"
Although she doesn't go to restaurants anymore, she still often eats the delicious food that the chefs ask Aunt Tao to bring her.
"The chefs are nice to you, so you have to repay them and not take advantage of them." Guan Wanwan did not forget to teach her daughter the rules of conduct.
"I know, I know." My mother was bullied because she was too principled.
"Ahem! Yan Xin, please sit down too!"
"Thank you, Auntie." Yan Xin thanked her reservedly, and suddenly her ears moved. "Auntie, Xiaobai, I forgot the New Year's gift I prepared. I'm going out to get it now."
Outside the gate, Lao Wu and Jiang Chen were both feeling the northwest wind, looking at each other in silence.
"Young Master, have you finally gotten Xiaobai's mother's consent?" Jiang Chen was so moved that he almost cried. "It wasn't easy."
The fifth brother's expression was very subtle, and he always felt like a young master marrying into the family.
“Here I come!”
The two heard the sound of light footsteps and prepared themselves energetically.
The door opened and it was Yan Xin who came out.
"Young master, why did you come out wearing a sweater? It's so cold outside." Lao Wu felt so distressed.
Jiang Chen immediately said, "Young Master is not afraid of the cold. It doesn't matter what he wears."
This was the first time that Lao Wu had heard of it, and his eyes widened in surprise, "I... I didn't know." He had been the young master's personal assistant for such a long time, and he was even the one who coordinated with major companies and designers for seasonal clothes.
Jiang Chen is particularly proud of it. "Keeping normal clothing is to better integrate into society and the group." In simple terms, it means not to be treated as a fool.
Lao Wu raised his hand and slapped Jiang Chen, making Jiang Chen feel aggrieved.
"Young Master, he hit me." Jiang Chen went to Yan Xin to complain.
"You deserve it! Where's the gift I prepared?" Yan Xin was too lazy to pay attention to this big fool!
"Here." Lao Wu immediately picked up a dozen beautifully packaged shopping bags and said, "Can I carry them in?"
"No, I can do it myself." Yan Xin reached out and took it. "You don't have to wait for me, go back! Tell my fourth uncle to go wherever he wants to play, and don't wait for me."
"OK."
"Little..." Jiang Chen wanted to follow, but Lao Wu quickly covered his mouth. This big fool, what's wrong with being a secretary? It's all because of his IQ. He should just be an honest and ordinary person!
Better than a bad brain.
