“Zhou Mingjie, what’s going on…” Su Nianxue was a little confused.
"Sister-in-law, I've been waiting for you here for quite a while now." Zhou Mingjie stood up from the rock and dusted off his backside.
"Why are you waiting for me? Are you looking for Gu Yanbai? Then go to the restaurant and find him!"
"We're not just looking for him, we're looking for you too."
"Mingjie, what do you want from us?" Gu Yanliu asked with a smile.
"Come on, Yanliu, let's go to Mingjie's house for dinner today, so you can try your sister-in-law's cooking." Zhou Mingjie said with a smug look on his face.
He only found out in the last few days that his wife's appearance was indeed... not quite satisfactory.
But their culinary skills are truly undeniable.
He entered into the marriage unwillingly, so their relationship was far from harmonious.
Originally, he had already made up his mind before the marriage. The Yang family insisted on him marrying, so he would just marry them. It would just mean supporting one more person.
Although Zhou Mingjie wasn't very capable, he could still afford to support a woman.
He can just go out and have fun as usual; she can't control him anyway.
He didn't expect that someone would show him their skills without him even noticing.
From the day they got married, they cooked a different dish every day.
Over the years, he has traveled all over the country with Gu Yanbai and has eaten a lot of good food.
But I haven't had such delicious home-style dishes many times.
So he was shameful for betraying the ambitions he had set when he first got married, all for the sake of food.
Although I went out to play as usual these past few days, I didn't miss any of my three meals.
Although the two still didn't have much to say to each other, he was probably too obliged to say anything harsh, probably because he felt obligated to help him.
Yang Hongxing, however, did not take advantage of his favor and continued to serve him comfortably as before.
So now he can't wait to show off in front of Gu Yanbai.
Anyway, he's going to win this time no matter what.
"Let's eat, okay, then we won't stand on ceremony with you." Without saying another word, Su Nianxue took Gu Yanliu to their house.
Soon, a sumptuous meal was served, filling the entire table.
Gu Yanliu glanced at the table and said, "Sister-in-law Hongxing, your cooking is amazing! Look at this food, it's so delicious and looks amazing. It smells so good!"
"Hey, that's all the skill I have. I can't make as much money as you guys in business." Yang Hongxing looked at them with a hint of envy.
Gu Yanliu: "Sister-in-law Hongxing, you can do it too."
Putting everything else aside, with your excellent cooking skills, you might even be as good as the head chef at my brother's restaurant.
Yang Hongxing smiled faintly, "You're just good at making me happy. I can only cook a few simple home-style dishes, how can I compare to a professional chef?"
Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table and listening to Gu Yanliu's flattery, Zhou Mingjie felt quite pleased.
But he still humbly said, "Alright, alright, eat up, stop praising her."
It's just an ordinary meal, why are you praising it so much?
Gu Yanbai raised an eyebrow. The two had known each other for many years; how could he not understand his little thoughts?
In his opinion, this person's invitation to dinner today was just a pretense.
He's really showing off his wife's cooking skills; look at how smug he is, it's unbearable to watch.
Just as Su Nianxue was about to pull Yang Hongxing to sit down, Zhou Mingjie called out again, "Go, get the wine."
Yang Hongxing quickly stood up, went into the room and took out a bottle of wine, which she gently placed in front of them.
Upon seeing the liquor, Zhou Mingjie's face immediately darkened. "Do you even know how to handle things? Why bring sorghum liquor?"
Go and get that bottle of Xifeng liquor. Yanbai and his wife have gone to so much trouble to come all this way; how could I let them drink sorghum liquor?
Seeing that she was standing there without moving for a long time, Zhou Mingjie urged, "Go on, what are you standing here for? Is the wine going to grow legs and run to the table by itself?"
"We're out of Xifeng liquor. We took it with us when we went back to our parents' home last time. Did you forget?" she explained.
Zhou Mingjie glared at him and said, "Where have you been thinking all day long?"
They can't even sort out such a small matter.
"It's not like I didn't give you money. If you're out of things, at least replenish them. How can you be so inconsiderate?"
"How about I go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it now?" Yang Hongxing still had a good temper.
Look at Zhou Mingjie, acting like a big shot, criticizing her in front of so many people.
Su Nianxue couldn't stand it anymore, "It doesn't necessarily have to be Xifeng liquor, I think sorghum liquor is just fine."
"Alright, stop your loud fuss. You've only had a few good days, and you've already lost your way."
What's wrong with sorghum liquor? I think it's great.
"Back in the day, when we were struggling, we didn't even have sorghum liquor to drink." Gu Yanbai picked up the bottle, opened the cap, and poured himself a glass.
"Okay, then let's drink sorghum liquor today."
…………
After they went back.
Su Nianxue could no longer hold back and said to Gu Yanbai, "I used to think Zhou Mingjie was a good person."
I never expected him to be this kind of person. This is so disrespectful!
I'm telling you, if you become like him in the future, I'll...
"Oh, so what do you want?" Gu Yanbai looked at her leisurely.
“I just…” She raised her fist, but then looked at her small arm and then at his big body.
Forget it, no matter how you look at it, she's no match for him!
She pulled her fist back, gritted her teeth, and said, "I'll... I'll bite you to death!"
"Are you stupid? They were putting on an act for you, and you actually believed it!"
"What kind of show is this?" Su Nianxue didn't quite understand.
"He's just showing off how obedient his wife is and how well she takes care of him." He thinks he can turn the tables like that? How naive.
"Oh, is that so? That's really childish." What a strange competitive spirit.
Why would he do that?
"Jealousy, huh!" Gu Yanbai was in a good mood as he looked at her bewildered expression.
"What's there to be jealous of?"
"Of course they're jealous that I married a beautiful wife!"
"In your eyes, I'm very beautiful?" Su Nianxue raised her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with tiny lights.
"Of course, I can't accept someone who isn't pretty!"
"Gu Yanbai, although I like it when you compliment me on my looks."
But I still think you're so superficial!
"If I get old and ugly in the future, will you have to find a new wife?"
Are you stupid?
When you get old, won't I be older than you?
Am I still capable of causing trouble?
Besides, it's already stamped and inspected; I'll take it no matter what.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, leaped up, and her thighs wrapped securely around his waist.
"You said it, I'll remember it!"
Gu Yanbai carried her on his arms, and with light steps, went into the room.
"I said it!"
From now on, remember everything I say. When you're old, come find me and see if I've kept my word.
