This surprised Li Dongyang. The soup was ready, but he didn't know if it would taste good.
So he looked up at Xia Nuan, who was untying her apron.
"By the way, is the soup you're going to make later safe to drink?"
Instead, he was met with a sharp glare from Xia Nuan.
Li Dongyang grinned and said, "Don't take it so seriously, I was just joking."
"Even if the soup doesn't taste good later, I'll bite the bullet and fix it for you. Don't worry, leave everything else to me."
Xia Nuan felt a little better after Li Dongyang said that.
She had practiced what Liang Qiong had taught her several times at the villa. Li Jing and Liang Qiong both said that it was comparable to what they had learned outside. This time, she prepared the ingredients herself, the only difference being the pot for making soup.
It shouldn't be too far off!
Xia Nuan changed into her apron and glared at Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang was a little speechless under her gaze, so he tossed her the remote control and said, "You watch TV for a while and I'll go to the kitchen to see if you need any help."
Back in their hometown, Li Dongyang would always help Xiao Qianwen wash and chop the vegetables whenever she cooked; these were good habits he had developed since childhood.
In Li Jianguo's words, having a skill might allow him to snag a wife in the future.
Li Jianguo was absolutely right.
Xia Nuan loves eating the egg noodles cooked by Li Dongyang. To be honest, all noodles are pretty much the same, but she just likes them for some reason.
Li Dongyang was chased out of the kitchen by Xiao Qianwen as soon as he entered. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pour Nuannuan a glass of water. You must be tired from standing for so long!"
This is still nowhere near here.
How did my status in the family become so low?
My dog, Xiao Huang, is number one in the family, followed by DouDou, which my mom raises, and then myself.
Xiao Huang is the family dog, Dou Dou is the pet mouse that Mom keeps, and only I am a human.
But he's still a little bit better than his dad, though he doesn't even rank in the top tier.
If Xia Nuan really becomes Li's daughter-in-law, given her mother's overprotective nature, will he still have any land left?
The thought of those days when he had no status made Li Dongyang feel like there was no hope for the future.
I turned to look at my dad and secretly gave him a thumbs up. I have to say, my dad is really damn strong.
Under pressure from his mother, Li Dongyang had no choice but to obey.
Xia Nuan saw it all and smiled to herself.
Seeing that Li Dongyang hadn't made a move for a while, Xiao Qianwen struck him on the back again.
"I've been telling you for ages, why are you taking so long to pour water? Are you doing this on purpose?"
Li Dongyang stared wide-eyed innocently. As soon as her mother mentioned it, she grabbed the cup. Her speed was almost as fast as Liu Xiang's!
He stared at his mother in disbelief, then looked at Xia Nuan, who stuck her tongue out at him for the first time, as if teasing him.
"Here, this is honey water that your aunt brought from her hometown. It's very good. When you go back, take two jars with you."
"And if Dongyang ever dares to bully you again, tell Auntie, and Auntie will skin him alive."
"How is it? Does it taste good?"
"It's delicious and sweet." Xia Nuan turned to look at Li Dongyang, who was being scolded, her eyes crinkling, and then nodded obediently.
"Okay, Auntie, I understand. I'll text you if he bullies me in the future."
Li Dongyang: "Uh!"
The current situation is this: if Xia Nuanzhen really enters the Li family, will he still have to live?
At this moment, Dad in the kitchen skillfully chopped vegetables with a cleaver, occasionally glancing up at the commotion outside.
No matter what matters, big or small, in the family, Xiao Qianwen makes the decisions; this is what you call prioritizing harmony.
Li Dongyang wasn't stupid; he could tell that his mother really liked Xia Nuan.
The more she liked him, the more flustered she became.
After all, lies will always be exposed eventually.
Li Dongyang couldn't imagine it.
Turning around, she saw Xia Nuan and her elderly mother.
In Xiao Qianwen's eyes, Xia Nuan is well-behaved, sensible, hardworking, beautiful, and tall. Isn't she the perfect daughter-in-law in her heart?
"Nuan Nuan." Xiao Qianwen patted Xia Nuan's hand, "Our Li family must have had some good fortune in our ancestors to have allowed Dongyang to find such a wonderful wife as you."
"No matter what happens in the future, tell your aunt."
"If this brat dares to say a single word of nonsense, we'll deal with the Li family's Jiafa."
Speaking of family rules.
Li Jianguo shrank back.
This so-called addition is mental torment.
Enjoying it and feeling happy.
But over time, the body may not be able to handle it.
The most terrifying thing right now is the battle between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.
Now, in Li Dongyang's eyes, she has become their greatest enemy, as if Xia Nuan is their biological daughter.
"Anyway, from now on, no matter what happens, Auntie will stand by you. I don't believe that we two outsiders can't handle those people with the surname Li."
Li Dongyang: "!!!!!!!!!"
Another moment of silence ensued.
The fact that his mother could say something like that shows that she really has a good impression of Xia Nuan.
Li Dongyang never dreamed that Xia Nuan would win over his difficult mother so easily.
At the dining table.
Li Jianguo prepared a table full of home-style dishes.
Every dish looked delicious and appealed to the eye.
"Come on, Nuannuan, come and try Uncle's cooking. Back in the day, I was the best chef in our small county."
The chef Li Jianguo mentioned was someone who had previously set up a mobile stall.
However, the craftsmanship is indeed quite good.
"Try it!"
Xiao Qianwen was worried that Xia Nuan might be a germaphobe, so she brought two pairs of serving chopsticks.
