Xu Danhua didn't leave either, just eating some fruit. There was some food left at home, leftover from lunch, and she ate a few bites. Zhang Hechen hadn't eaten yet, actually. When he came back, he was questioned by the elders and was also forced to plant vegetables. In between, he only ate some fruit and snacks.
She felt that she couldn't go over and even wanted to give him something to eat, but the boy said it was okay, he had eaten some snacks and could handle it.
Zhang Hechen took the opportunity to ask Mrs. Yu about the Xu family's dining habits. They needed to figure out how many dishes to serve for dinner, as overcooking would be a waste. He also considered the old man's tastes and those of the elders. He discussed this with Xu Danhua, who offered some suggestions. However, Xu Danhua also said that after not being home for a few years, their tastes might change.
As for the roast duck that the old man mentioned, we'll talk about it tomorrow. We have to get the oven ready first. Since the old man said he wanted to eat roast duck, he must get it ready.
The old man and the old lady had completely different attitudes towards him. At first glance, I'd think the old lady really liked him. But on closer inspection, that wasn't the case. The old lady was a smart person, and her words and actions often tested her. Sugar-coated bullets are the easiest to corrupt people's hearts.
He might be corrupted by a careless move. The old lady is amazing. Such an enthusiastic attitude can easily lead people astray.
This is commonly known as playing the good cop, and the old man is the good cop, who often makes things difficult for him and trips him up. Then the two of them quarreled, one protecting the other and the other scolding, and their cooperation was seamless and full of tacit understanding.
It is estimated that these two elders have used these tricks to fool people many times before, and their success rate is very high. Therefore, they can use them effortlessly and their coordination is so tacit that outsiders cannot easily see it.
The three of them started chatting in the kitchen, it was lively.
In the lobby outside, the two old men sat together, and the old man couldn't help but look into the kitchen several times.
"I don't know what there is to talk about. She's laughing so happily. The obedient girl has a boyfriend now and has forgotten me."
The old lady looked at the resentful old man and rolled her eyes: "If you have this little time, you might as well think about how to test whether you can be a qualified grandson-in-law."
Speaking of this, the old man felt even more aggrieved: "I know you want to play the good cop, but you can't keep scolding me. It makes me uncomfortable too."
The old lady snorted: "This time I'm scolding you not because of this, you ruined my food, I scold you with sincerity, don't get the situation wrong!"
“…”
The old man opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment. It turned out to be his true feelings. No wonder he felt so uncomfortable.
"I didn't mean to do that. It was Old Yao who said this vegetable needs water. It only grows well if you water it more. Didn't Old Yao use to farm? He should know more than us. Who knew that old guy would cheat us? Wait, I'm going to settle the score with him!"
The old lady looked down on him: "You two have been fighting for so long and you still fell for it. Isn't this just stupid?"
"..." It was so heartbreaking. The old man felt very uncomfortable. It was bad enough that he was deceived by his old bad friend, but even his wife said this to him. Oh my God, is there any justice in the world?
"Okay, stop looking so sad. Tell me, are you satisfied with this kid?"
"Of course I'm not satisfied!" The old man snorted, "Don't think you can marry my granddaughter just by coming to our house to do some work and cook some meals. It's not that simple!"
