When Jiang Xiaoli saw him turn around and come back, carrying a takeout bag from "Heyiju" in his hand, she guessed, "Did Brother Yuan buy this?"
Zong Jiayu smiled and nodded, "She took Hu Jingxin out for a meal this afternoon."
As he spoke, he unfolded the small table on the bed and arranged the food one by one.
Jiang Xiaoli stretched and sighed, "If I wanted to eat in bed at home, I would definitely get a beating from Ms. Li Guizhi."
Zong Jiayu patted her head and said, "It's okay, you eat yours, I'll clean up if you make a mess."
She picked up a piece of fish and held it to his lips, saying, "Let's eat together!"
Zong Jia swallowed the heart-shaped fish meat and said, "Okay."
Both of them had been hungry all day, so they ate the meal quickly.
Jiang Xiaoli felt that she had finally recovered her energy, so she changed her clothes and strolled into the living room.
Zhong Yuan was chatting with someone on SOSO while holding a laptop. She sat down next to him and asked, "Chatting with Xin Xin?"
"Mmm." Zhong Yuan glanced at her. "Was the food good?"
She said with a smile, "Chef Zhao's cooking skills are of course superb! But Yuan-ge's thoughtfulness in bringing the food is even more touching. I even shed tears before I ate it."
Zhong Yuan knew she was making it up as soon as he heard it, but he couldn't help but laugh. "You've already called me 'brother,' so treating you to a meal is nothing."
Jiang Xiaoli gave an exaggerated thumbs up, "Brother Yuan, your current perspective is truly extraordinary!"
When Zong Jia came out after cleaning up the mess in the bedroom, she saw the two of them exchanging compliments.
He chuckled softly, "Why haven't you two been bickering for over half a month?"
The two of them turned to glare at him at the same time. Jiang Xiaoli pouted and said, "Don't try to sow discord between me and Brother Yuan!"
Zhong Yuan put his computer aside and chimed in, "That's right, Xiao Li and I are really close!"
Zong Jiayu found it amusing. "Alright, alright, you two are really close. I was the one trying to sow discord between you. You two continue."
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the company."
SOSO recently launched a new version, and the new features are being expedited for internal testing. He didn't go to the company today because he was picking her up, and he's a little worried about her.
She thought for a moment and stood up. "Wait for me. I'll change my clothes and come with you. I'm going back to 'Heyuan'."
When she got the phone at noon, she called Li Guizhi. After a ridiculous afternoon, she suddenly felt a pang of conscience. She hadn't seen her mother for more than twenty days. How could she not go back to see her mother as soon as possible?
Zong Jia saw through her little scheme. "Hehe, okay, but your godmother should still be at the shop right now. I'll take you directly to 'Guizhi Restaurant'."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Zong Jia took her to the intersection of "Guizhi Restaurant" and went directly to the company. When she went to the kitchen, Li Guizhi was teaching her apprentice, Xiao Liu.
Jiang Xiaoli greeted her energetically, "Hi! Mom! I'm back!"
To her surprise, Li Guizhi simply looked up at her and said, "Okay, okay, I'm lecturing to Xiao Liu, don't interrupt! Wait a minute to the side!"
Jiang Xiaoli was a little dumbfounded. The waiter next to her smiled and said, "President Jiang, don't overthink it. That's how the boss teaches Chef Liu. It will be fine after they finish their lesson."
She nodded. "Molly, thank you."
Molly smiled and waved her hand, "President Jiang, there's nothing to thank me for, it's all what I should do."
Since Li Guizhi returned from Great Britain, the staff at "Guizhi Restaurant" have become even more diligent at work.
During the time the boss was away, they received their full salaries without any discounts.
Jiang Xiaoli pulled up a stool and sat down outside the kitchen, chatting with Molly, "How's business at the store lately? Has it been affected by the previous closure?"
Molly shook her head. "Mr. Jiang, on the first day the boss came back and the store reopened, no one knew that the restaurant wasn't fully booked. After that, it's been fully booked every day, so don't worry."
Jiang Xiaoli sighed, "I was thinking of letting my mom rest a few more days a week since business has declined."
"Hehe." Molly chuckled. "President Jiang, once Master Liu completes his apprenticeship, the boss will have an easier time."
"Yes, I hope he can keep it up."
Molly shared, "Chef Liu works very hard. Now, after lunch and dinner every day, the boss gives Chef Liu lessons. After the lessons, Chef Liu practices for a long time. Several of us have tasted his cooking. Although it is not as good as the boss's, I think it tastes better than many restaurants outside."
Jiang Xiaoli was slightly surprised, "It seems he really is quite talented."
The two chatted outside, while the lesson in the kitchen came to an end.
Li Guizhi instructed, "Practice makes perfect. Once you've learned it, practice more. Don't be afraid of wasting ingredients. When you've made it, you can take it home for your family or give it to your neighbors so they can taste it and give you feedback."
Xiao Liu nodded repeatedly, "Master, I understand, thank you, Master."
Li Guizhi smiled and waved her hand, "That's all for today. My daughter is back today, so I'm leaving now. Please check the shop before you leave."
"Yes, I know, Master. Please take care." Xiao Liu replied respectfully.
Li Guizhi came out of the kitchen and pulled her daughter up to examine her carefully.
She nodded in satisfaction, "Great, you look more energetic!"
Jiang Xiaoli took her arm and said, "That's right, your daughter is now an outstanding student in military training! Isn't that amazing?"
Li Guizhi chuckled, "You call yourself an outstanding model worker?"
"Why are you calling me that?" she complained. "Mom, you're looking down on me!"
"Haha." Li Guizhi laughed and patted her hand. "I really can't imagine how a lazybones like you could act like a soldier!"
Jiang Xiaoli, standing out conspicuously, was about to perform a military-style boxing routine in the courtyard of "Guizhi Xiaoguan".
She was seen like this by Yu Yang, who had also just returned from military training and was having dinner with his family.
He pushed open the door to the private room and stepped into the courtyard. "Oh, haven't you had enough training yet? Back to have some fun?"
Jiang Xiaoli immediately stood up straight. She wanted to retort, but when she turned around and saw Yu Yang, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha! Yu Yang, how did you get so tanned!"
Yu Yang was originally a clean-cut young man with fair skin, but after 21 days of military training, he turned into a tanned giant.
Just then, the door to Yu Yang's private room opened again, and little Yu Xi ran up to Jiang Xiaoli.
She craned her neck, looked for a long time, and then exclaimed with delight, "Sister Little Pear, you're still so white!"
