"Can you do it? Just help?" Yi's father's tone was somewhat emotional.
"Dad, don't worry. Ayuan learned cooking from me. Are you still not confident in my skills?" Yi Qingqing defended him.
Yi Jianshe: “…”
Girls are extroverts, and he is the only one in the family who is still holding his ground.
Reluctantly, he said, "Come if you can!"
He wanted to investigate and see if this person was just a show-off!
"Xiao Yun, ignore him. This is your first time back at our house, how could we let you into the kitchen?" Zhao Xianglan heard the voice in the bedroom, and hurried out to hold Yun Guyuan: "You sit in the main room for a while and have a rest. Qingqing, go make Xiao Yun a cup of tea. Zhigang, Xiao Su is here to look after the child, you go and help your dad," said Zhao Xianglan.
"Got it!" Yi Zhigang agreed.
"Aunt, there's no need to be so polite. I can't sit idle," said Yun Guyuan.
He clearly felt that his father-in-law seemed not very satisfied with him, and he did not want to miss the opportunity to show himself and win his favor.
"If you really can't sit still, just help Qingqing pack your luggage and put it away. There will be many opportunities for you to help with cooking later," Zhao Xianglan said with a smile.
She is like a mother-in-law who becomes more and more satisfied with her son-in-law the more she looks at him.
Although the two men in their family are willing to help with housework, whether it is cooking or other things at home, they never think that this is a woman's responsibility and they just don't care about anything when they get home.
But Zhao Xianglan also knows that such men are rare, especially those who are willing to go into the kitchen and cook, who can cook, and who accept doing it well and have no complaints.
Of all the people she had met since she was a child, only her father and Lao Yi were like this. Her son was even worse and could hardly help with cooking.
She was lucky enough to find Lao Yi, but she was not sure if her daughter could find such a person.
This is the current environment, and most men are the ones who just sit at home and do nothing, waiting for everything to be done.
Boys who grow up in such families will often get used to it.
But Qingqing, this guy, actually took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help cook the first time he came to the house, and he had learned to cook from Qingqing before, which was very thoughtful.
Even their family's Lao Yi didn't achieve this level at the beginning. Before marriage, he had never been to the kitchen, let alone cooking. The skill he has now is all due to the training he gained after marriage.
As long as he doesn't mind this and there is an emotional basis, a reasonable relationship can still be developed like this.
To be honest, many new daughters-in-law are not able to take the initiative to go to the kitchen to help cook the first time they visit the house, which shows how considerate Xiaoyun is.
Being willing to go this far, he must care about his daughter extremely much.
Section 213
Finding a son-in-law is better than marrying a daughter-in-law.
"Mom asked you to sit for a while, so just sit for a while. Let's cook together tomorrow and show off our cooking skills to our parents!" Yi Qingqing came over with tea and said to Yun Guyuan, "Come, have some hot tea!"
Yun Guyuan nodded this time and started drinking tea.
“Crack~Crack~Crack~”
In the kitchen, the sound of cutting vegetables could be heard.
"Dad, be gentle, you're going to break the chopping board!"
"Have you picked the vegetables? Hurry up!"
"oh oh!"
…
Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan looked at each other.
Yi Qingqing pointed to the teapot in her hand and said silently: I'll pour the tea, you bring a cup to dad! He's having a child's temper!
Yun Guyuan nodded.
Yi Qingqing simply took the cups from her family members and poured tea for them.
He Yun Guyuan walked into the kitchen alone with a cup of tea.
"Uncle, you've worked hard, have some tea!" Yun Guyuan handed over the teacup.
Yi's father paused with the kitchen knife in his hand, looked at him, then looked at the teacup, and pointed to the empty space in front of the chopping board: "Put it there!"
“Crack~Crack~Crack~”
Both the chopping board and the kitchen knife were saved.
Yi Qingqing also handed the teacup in her hand to her brother, winked at him, and went out with Yun Guyuan.
She and Yun Guyuan brought tea to her sister-in-law who was taking care of the child and her mother who was making the bed in the house.
Zhao Xianglan took the tea from her son-in-law and took a sip immediately: "You are so thoughtful. Don't feel restrained. Just treat it as your own home. Your uncle is just being pretentious. Don't mind it. He will be fine in two days!"
"Yes, I know," Yun Guyuan was as obedient as a new daughter-in-law meeting her mother-in-law for the first time.
"Okay, go play with Qingqing! Be casual!" Zhao Xianglan asked Yi Qingqing to entertain Yun Guyuan.
Yi Qingqing helped him put away the packages outside, and then carried their luggage to her room.
"This is my room." Yi Qingqing waited for him to come in and closed the door. "Ayuan, you've worked so hard today."
Someone's face must be stiff from smiling today. This is probably the day he has laughed the most in the past ten or twenty years.
He was obviously not that kind of person, but in order to win the favor of her family, he tried hard to appear more cheerful.
"It's not hard, Qingqing, I really like the atmosphere of your home and every member of your family," Yun Guyuan said seriously, "I feel very happy to have the opportunity to integrate into such a family."
Yi Qingqing was happy, but she couldn't bear to see him force himself to be cheerful in such a humble way. This was obviously not his most comfortable state. She took his hand and sat down:
"Ayuan, you don't have to compromise yourself to please my parents in order to fit in. Just be yourself. There is no saying in our family that cheerful and smiling children are more likable than cold and silent children. Just show your true self and they will like you.
They look at your character and your attitude towards me. Other things are nothing. And don't you trust my judgment? I like you because you are worthy of being liked. Then my family will also discover and accept your shining points. You are good just the way you are. There is no need to deliberately cater to others.
I like the way you usually have a cold face, but when you are particularly happy, the corners of your mouth turn up, and your smile amazes me. This is you!"
The smile that Yun Guyuan was trying hard to maintain faded, and a more heartfelt smile appeared. There seemed to be little stars in his eyes as he looked at her.
Yi Qingqing covered her chest and said, "Help! How can you look so beautiful when you smile!"
Yun Guyuan smiled even more happily, with a slight blush on his ears.
"Yes, that's right. When we are happy, we smile. When we are happy, it is also good to keep a straight face." Yi Qingqing nodded repeatedly: "This way I can better grasp your emotions! If you keep smiling, I won't know when you are really happy."
