Chapter 95 I really can't do anything with you
"Little one, be careful later, don't cut your hand." Dan Anwen's gaze fell on the girl's snow-white wrist, where her sleeves were slightly rolled up, and he gave her a worried reminder.
Gu Zhaodi straightened the cuffs on her wrist. "I'll be careful, but don't forget I'm also very good at cooking."
That's true; she's almost never made a mistake chopping vegetables since she was a child.
I used to be careful when cutting vegetables because I knew that if I got hurt, no one would care, and I would be scolded by my mother for being useless.
She's carefully chopping vegetables now because she doesn't want to hurt the people who care about her.
"Okay, I know you're very capable, but give me the vegetables that are hard to cut later." Dan Anwen's eyes were filled with a hint of doting, and he gently patted the top of the girl's head with his large, well-defined hand.
Although the man doesn't know how to cook, his vegetable-cutting skills have gradually improved over the years thanks to his mother's constant guidance.
He knew that the child's vegetable-cutting skills were more skilled and proficient than his, but he was still worried about uncontrollable accidents that might happen, and it would be bad if the child got hurt and cried.
The child cries a lot, but he's very cute.
Little did he know that Gu Zhaodi had almost never shed a tear in front of others throughout her life.
When you encounter a God who is kind-hearted in your life, you can't help but relax and reveal your inner feelings of gratitude and minor grievances.
Dan Si and Dan Shu's work was quick and convenient. The ingredients were simply processed when they arrived. The two of them stood by the sink and worked together to clean each ingredient thoroughly, then presented them to the man and the girl on the cutting board.
Dan's parents had prepared the spatula early on, ready to show off their skills.
Six people can stand together in the kitchen without feeling crowded, after all, the Danyuan Villa covers an area that is the size of several basketball courts.
"Little girl, let me handle the fish." Dan Anwen glanced at the slippery fish on the cutting board in front of the girl, worried that she might cut her hand.
Gu Zhaodi didn't say anything defiant, and moved the fish in front of the man.
She used to think that she shouldn't bother others with things she could do herself, but later she realized that she shouldn't easily refuse other people's kindness.
This is a way for men to cherish and care for girls.
"Uncle Dan, you should be careful too," the girl said with concern as she watched the man's long, slender fingers press on the fish's belly.
At this moment, Dan Shu had finished washing all the vegetables. She seemed to be standing aside handing seasonings to Dan's mother, but in fact, she was secretly listening to her uncle and Zhao Zhao's conversation.
It's so sweet.
Before he could think about it carefully, Dan's mother patted Dan Shu on the shoulder.
"Shushu, what are you daydreaming about?" Danmu asked, looking puzzled.
Dan Shu immediately looked away. "Grandma, why did you call me?"
"Could you bring me the scallions from the kitchen counter?"
"Okay." Dan Shu immediately turned around to get it, but her ears never left the conversation between the two people not far away.
Gu Zhaodi finally finished processing the ingredients on the cutting board, glanced at the bright red braised prawns on the counter, and took a light sniff with her lively nostrils.
"Uncle Dan, you want to eat braised prawns now, don't you?" the girl asked quietly, moving closer to the man.
Dan An paused in washing his hands, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a teasing tone, "It's because you're such a little glutton that you want to eat it."
The girl had almost never eaten seafood before. Since coming to Nan'an City, a coastal city, she felt like she had discovered a new world of delicious food, and she especially loved eating sea shrimp.
As a native of Nan'an City, Danmu's seafood cooking skills are unparalleled; you can smell the aroma of braised prawns wafting from the villa's entrance.
Home-style dishes often test one's skills and experience the most. Although they may seem simple and ordinary to make, it is difficult to control the taste to make them delicious.
"Hehe." Gu Zhaodi looked up at the man and smiled shyly, saying in a slightly coquettish tone, "So, Uncle Dan, do you want some?"
The girl planned to recruit an ally to commit the crime with her, so that if her grandmother found out, someone would take the blame.
Dan Anwen wiped the water droplets from his palms and pinched the girl's delicate cheeks. "I really can't do anything with you."
He was very pleased with how mischievous and lively his child was, which showed that he spoiled the child very well, and he would not refuse such a small request.
Besides, a child who is both greedy and cowardly is really cute!
Men can't bring themselves to refuse a girl's suggestion.
Finally, it was obvious that a quarter of the braised prawns on the counter had disappeared.
Gu Zhaodi was enjoying her meal when Dan's mother turned around and immediately spotted the two people sneaking a bite in front of the kitchen counter.
"You two were actually sneaking food?" Mother Dan asked, her tone slightly surprised.
In her mind, it wouldn't be strange if Dan Si and Dan Shu were having an affair, but it would be very strange if the well-behaved Zhao Zhao and the deep and indifferent Dan Anwen were having an affair.
The sudden sound of Danmu's voice startled Gu Zhaodi, causing her heart to tremble and the shrimp she had just stuffed in almost to fall to the ground.
The girl casually chewed the shrimp twice and then swallowed it.
Dan Anwen said unhurriedly, "Eat slowly, no one is going to take it from you."
After finally swallowing the shrimp, Gu Zhaodi said with a hint of embarrassment, "Grandma, I only ate a little bit."
As she spoke, she touched her slender index finger and thumb together slightly, trying to prove that she really had only eaten a tiny bit.
If it weren't for the fact that the dish had clearly sunk to a low level, I almost would have believed it.
Danmu chuckled, "I'm glad you like it. Anwen told me you like shrimp, and there's also a red wine and onion shrimp stew."
"Thank you, Grandma." Gu Zhaodi smiled shyly, tilting her head slightly to look at the man with a gentle expression.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Dan remembered her preferences and even took action quietly.
"Little friend, do you want more?" Dan An asked, glancing at the sauce on his gloves.
The girl licked her lips, hesitated for a second, and said, "Let me have another one. I swallowed the last one too quickly and didn't get to taste it."
The man couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes lifting like hooks, his thin, pale lips pursed slightly.
The man, wearing gloves, peeled two more large shrimp for the girl, his tone indulgent, "Here's an extra shrimp for the little one."
Upon hearing this, the girl's slightly upturned lips moved back a few degrees.
Dan Shu had been standing in the kitchen eating dog food for a long time, watching Dan Si and Dan's father still struggling with the fish in the pot, and felt a little like speaking her mind.
Single people may enjoy watching couples show off their love, but the emotional blow they receive can be quite intense.
Who can understand her pain!
Once all the dishes in the kitchen were ready, Danmu placed them on a warming tray and told everyone to go upstairs to shower before comfortably coming downstairs to eat.
Dan Anwen, who has a slight obsession with cleanliness, had already gone upstairs to take a shower. When the girl came downstairs after showering, the man's fair fingers were slightly holding a magazine, and he was leaning back on the sofa with his legs crossed.
"Grandma and Danshu haven't come downstairs yet?" Gu Zhaodi looked around and saw only Dansi squatting not far away playing with Guoguo and Tangtang.
“They need time to take care of their skin.” Dan Anwen moved the bright red cherries in front of her toward the girl.
The girl paused in her cherries eating, wondering, "Am I living a bit too carelessly?"
Whether in Jinshan Villa or Danyuan, her dressing table was filled with all kinds of skin care products, but she hardly ever used them, except for toner.
The man chuckled softly, his eyes lowered. Sure enough, when it came to the topic of beauty, even young children were no exception.
"How could that be? Your skin is naturally beautiful." The man said earnestly, giving the girl a lot of confidence.
Gu Zhaodi didn't mind her face, but she was very happy to be praised by Uncle Dan.
She noticed that her grandmother and the others said that Uncle Dan was taciturn, aloof, and reserved, but she felt that Uncle Dan was very gentle and steady, always doing things quietly, just not good at talking.
Uncle Dan is also a kind and affectionate man. He is extremely patient and persistent in treating elderly people like Grandma Fang who are widowed and alone. He visits her whenever he has free time.
Details often reveal a person's character, and she thought Uncle Dan's attention to detail was perfect.
While the girl was lost in thought, Dan Si, who was not far away, was also using small meat strips to tempt Tangtang to obey his commands.
"If you sit down obediently, Tangtang, I'll give you the little meat strip." Dan Si waved the little meat strip in his hand and smiled maliciously.
My uncle's dog obeys his commands; wouldn't that be incredibly satisfying?
The boy, suffering terribly from being "exploited" by Dan Anwen, naturally sought to regain his sense of existence from the man's dog.
But as a dignified little dog, it was not easily deceived by Dan Si's sweet talk. It didn't even bother to look at him, which was somewhat similar to the temperament of its owner, Dan Anwen.
In fact, apart from girls, men, and Aunt Zhang who often feeds them, Guoguo and Tangtang hardly get any response from anyone else.
Even Tangtang's dark eyes held a hint of disdain, as if to say, who could be defeated by a small strip of meat?
They completely forgot about the last time the girl bribed them with three small meat strips to go upstairs to find a man.
Seeing that Tangtang was completely unresponsive, Dan Si felt a sense of defeat. How come the dog is just like its owner?
Tangtang and Guoguo didn't have time to pay attention to him. They wagged their tails and ran off towards the direction the girl was waving, leaving him with only their two big butts behind.
