Two days later, He Wenyan received a call from Yan Weiguo and was surprised when she heard the content.
"Okay, don't worry." After humming twice, she hung up the phone. She stood there for a while before picking up her bag and said to Wen Xin who was about to send Yan Miaomiao to school, "There are guests coming to our house tonight. Weiguo is not convenient to come out, so let me entertain them. It will be around seven o'clock. Please prepare a rich dinner."
"Are there guests?" Wen Xin didn't think it was a bother. She had been working in a breakfast restaurant to earn a living since high school. A mere family dinner was nothing to her.
"Auntie, is this a male or female guest? What kind of food do you like? Does the guest have any taboos or food that they cannot eat?" You should find out first to avoid offending the guest by serving him/her unpalatable food.
The Yan family is considered a high-ranking military and political family. They are not a family that can easily invite anyone to their home for dinner. But since they have invited someone, the identity of the person must be different, so they should be treated well.
She is used to being warm, considerate and thoughtful. She is very professional and can think of things that He Wenyan can't think of. She is also not lazy and is always happy to cook any meal.
He Wenyan glanced at her through the lenses with her slender eyes. Since the day the daughter of the Wen family came into the world, she always gave people an unexpected feeling. Such a considerate, understanding, comfortable and cheerful child did not seem like one raised by the Wen family couple.
But it's true. After all, her great aunt was a person in the palace and had served nobles. She had a lot of rules and regulations. She grew up with her great aunt. It makes sense that she is polite, pays attention to other people's feelings, and cares about the little details in life.
"There are both male and female guests. They are the political commissar of Zeyang Army and the daughter of Staff Officer Wang. I heard that Staff Officer Wang's family likes to eat seafood. At noon, Weiguo will ask the logistics department to send some seafood over. You don't have to make it too grand. Just home cooking will be fine." She thought of something and added, "Make it more delicate. Don't serve food that is not good to eat. And also, take care of the plating." Because of the warmth, He Wenyan's aesthetic taste has improved. She can't eat unless the food looks appetizing.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Wen Xin replied with a smile after braiding Yan Miaomiao's hair.
This is true. In this regard, Wen Xin has never let her down. She originally didn't want to tell Wen Xin who the female guest was that night, but seeing that she didn't take it to heart and looked heartless, He Wenyan was silent for a moment and called her name.
“Warm and cozy.”
"Um?"
Wen Xin was taking Yan Miaomiao's schoolbag and putting the cooled sour plum tea from the refrigerator into a military water bottle, leaving it for Miaomiao to quench her thirst and cool down. Many children in her class liked to drink it. Miaomiao asked Wen Xin to fill more every day so that she could share it with other friends and buddies. Wen Xin readily agreed and used a military water bottle that Yan Zeyang brought back as a water bottle for her. Although it was not big, it had a large capacity.
It is the hottest time of the year now. Since Wen Xin came to the Yan family, she has been making herbal tea almost every day. She uses whatever ingredients she has. She happened to have dried plums, so she made sour plum soup. But it is not just sour plum soup. She added several ingredients to it to adjust the taste. She only put seven or eight sour plums in a small pot. The taste is slightly sour, sweet, sweet and refreshing. Her mouth will be watering after drinking it. After it cools down, she puts it in a pot and puts it in the living room.
Everyone in the Yan family likes it. When everyone comes back from outside, they first pour themselves a large cup of cool herbal tea and drink it all in one breath. It is especially refreshing and helps to relieve the heat. They cook a small pot every day and there is basically no leftover.
"What's wrong, Auntie?" She packed up quickly today and prepared to go out with He Wenyan. He Wenyan went to work, and she sent Yan Miaomiao to school. She would not go out so early usually, but today Miaomiao's school organized an activity, so she had to go early. The little one urged Wen Xin to hurry up early in the morning.
He Wenyan pushed her glasses, her eyes flickering behind the lenses. Yan Miaomiao couldn't wait to run to the door, calling out loudly for Wen Xin. Since she came to the Yan family, even Yan Miaomiao has become much more cheerful.
She called Wen Xin and reminded him hesitantly, "Your parents sent you to the Yan family not just to be a nanny. You know the purpose, right?"
Wen Xin was stunned and looked back at her.
"What are your plans?" He Wenyan asked.
There are many unscrupulous parents in this era, and there are too many who ignore their daughters for the sake of their sons. In the eyes of Wen's mother, she found such a prestigious family for her daughter to work as a nanny. Her daughter should not only not blame her, but should thank her. After all, without her, Wen Xin would not be possible.
But in fact, He Wenyan knew her purpose, Yan Weiguo knew it, and Yan Zeyang knew it even better.
She was sent by the Wen family to help Wen Zeyang atone for his crimes and vent his anger. This is because the Yan family is a military and political family with discipline and principles. Yan Zeyang has always been reserved and proud, and disdains such despicable activities.
If it were an ordinary high-ranking official family, and she met such a playboy, even if he dragged her into the room and executed her on the spot, what could she do? No matter what happens to her in the end, the Wen family will not have any objections, but will instead breathe a sigh of relief.
But for people like Wen Xin, it may not be a good thing.
He Wenyan has been in the hospital for so many years, haven't she seen enough girls being harmed by these so-called powerful playboys? There is no reason for a man to play with a girl, he is just attracted by her beauty. Besides, if she is right in front of him, he would rather play with her.
Those who have offended others and want to use their daughters to atone for their crimes in private are even more miserable. It is too easy to frame a woman.
It has to be said that Wen Xin is lucky. With such looks, she can live in the Yan family peacefully every day.
She adjusted the frames of her glasses on her ears and looked at the fresh and tender girl in front of her, who was wearing a snow-white shirt and a blue pleated skirt. She had a slender waist and charming features. When she looked at people, her eyes were as bright as stars. She looked endearing no matter how you looked at her. She had no idea what the little devil of the Yan family was thinking.
Don't you really like it?
With Yan Weiguo's identity, his only son does not need an arranged marriage. Yan Weiguo and his ex-wife are in love freely. As for the only son left by his ex-wife, Yan Weiguo will not interfere in his son's marriage and has always given him enough freedom. As long as he likes someone, no matter what their identity is, he can bring them back and start a family.
This is Yan Weiguo's deep-seated promise to his ex-wife and his love for his only son. He Wenyan felt a little sad when she thought of this.
"Aunt, my parents are ignorant, but my uncle and Captain Yan are both gentlemen. They won't be easily defeated by sugar-coated bullets." Wen Xin responded casually.
He Wenyan: “…” Yan Zeyang is a gentleman, but she has never seen a man who would not be defeated by sugar-coated bullets. Yan Weiguo’s son came home every day a few days ago. Isn’t this obvious? She just threw away such a good opportunity.
From her point of view, she would rather Wen Xin enter the Yan family than have the little daughter of Staff Officer Wang enter the family. Would the family still have a peaceful life after she enters the family?
If Yan Zeyang married the youngest daughter of Staff Officer Wang, no one knew what would happen to this family. And how much respect could she, the future stepmother, give him? Do you really think she doesn't know how much her mother has gossiped about her behind her back?
But now, the daughter of Staff Officer Wang was allowed to enter the house, and even Yan Weiguo knew about it. This warmth was really a waste of her hard work.
However, no matter how annoyed He Wenyan was, she would stop talking without saying anything more. Since the situation was already settled, there was no point in saying more. She just took a step and walked out of the door first.
…
In the afternoon, Xiao Wu from the cafeteria's logistics department brought over a large basket of fresh crabs. Wen Xin was so happy when she saw the huge crabs in the basket. She almost drooled when she thought of the crab butter.
"This was delivered overnight by the military district's truck. It's very fresh. Others can't get it. Only a few senior leaders in the military district get one basket each." Xiao Wu from the logistics department often came to deliver food, so he got to know Wen Xin well. "Let me tell you, now is the best time to eat crabs. Haven't you heard that in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the crabs are fat and full of roe. The crab roe is so fragrant. I guarantee you'll want to have more after eating it."
"If someone doesn't know, they would think you are selling crabs." Wen Xin chuckled and looked around the basket. The crabs were fat and fresh, really good.
However, she was a little worried about how to eat it. If there were no customers, she would cook it in the evening. But He Wenyan said that there were female guests, so she couldn't cook a pot and then have each of them peel, bite, gnaw, and suck the crabs, and then scrape and lick them for no reason. It really didn't look good.
Wen Xin picked up one and took a look. It was so big that it was a bit difficult to lift it with one hand. It felt heavy when she tossed it. Looking at the thick shell, she thought, maybe she might as well grill the crab.
Just pick out the crab meat from the crab shell, add a little seasoning and marinate for a while, then bake it on the stove. Pick out the crab roe separately and boil it into crab butter. When the crab meat in the crab shell is baked, scoop a spoonful of crab butter on top. It is simply a delicacy and every bite feels luxurious.
The reason why delicious food is delicious is that it takes a lot of time and effort to make it. Just peeling the shell and taking out the meat is a big project. Without some skills and patience, every bite will not taste as delicious as if it were a gift from God.
It took Wen Xin a lot of effort to clean this basket. It turned out that restaurants have special tools. Wen Xin had peeled the shells a long time ago, but now she didn't have the right tools or gloves.
She could only open the shell with her hands. She steamed the crab until it was slightly cooked, then stood in the kitchen and carefully picked the meat with her head down. Everyone knows how to pick the meat, it's not only time-consuming but also tiring.
She has to pick out all the crabs in the basket today. The weather is so hot that it will easily breed bacteria if they are left until tomorrow, and they will no longer be fresh. It doesn't matter if she can't finish them. She can make them into spicy crab meat and crab butter and store them. A spoonful of this stuff when eating noodles or rice is so delicious that it will make the kids next door cry.
It's just too much effort to do.
After more than two hours of work, it was already past four o'clock and she still hadn't caught a few crabs. She became a little anxious. When she was trying to break them apart, she wasn't paying attention and the crab claws pierced her finger. Blood immediately came out and dripped onto the crab shell, causing her to hiss in pain.
She immediately held her hands and cried out in pain, "Ahhh, why am I bleeding so much? Please stop bleeding, one drop of blood equals ten drops of semen! How much food do I have to eat to make up for it?"
She was so focused on peeling crab meat that she didn't notice that there was a man leaning his left shoulder against the door frame, with his arms folded across his chest, looking at her straight in the face. It was not until she screamed "Ah" and her hand started bleeding that his face changed and he walked over. As a result, he heard the words "one drop of blood equals ten drops of semen."
A crack immediately appeared on his handsome face, which had been maintaining its composure.
Don’t regret what you don’t have!
It's not that Wen Xin had never been hurt before, but after having the system, her skin became more and more tender under her careful care with various essential oils and plant essences. Although she had been very careful to avoid it, she didn't expect to be pricked hard.
Before she could react, a person suddenly walked up behind her, turned on the faucet, then took her hand and placed it under the cold faucet to rinse the blood.
The sudden appearance of the tall figure startled Wen Xin.
Yan Motou went out early and came back late every day. When he came back, she was asleep. He got up early in the morning and left very early. This was the first time they met in these days.
It looked like he had just returned from the military area and hadn't had time to change out of his military uniform. There was a wound on his wheat-colored face, and it was unknown what had caused it. Not only did it not ruin his perfect profile, but it also gave him a kind of unruly aura.
Every time I see his face, Wen Xin regrets all over again, why is he the male lead? If he wasn't the male lead, she would definitely...
"Have you seen enough?" He turned around, and because they were so close, their noses almost touched.
How could Wen Xin be shy? They had kissed before, okay? Thinking about it now, I want to relive it again. He was so stunned by my kiss, I don’t know how cute he was.
She looked into his eyes without any shame. She felt that his eyes were so deep and seemed to have no end. She wanted to kiss him, but luckily she controlled herself and smiled at him as she looked at him.
Her lips were deliberately irritating as she silently said, "With a look like this, I can never get enough of it in my lifetime."
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Yama held her hand a little tightly.
She looked down and saw that his tanned bronze hand was still holding hers, like chocolate wrapped around cream. His thumb was gently pinching her injured index finger. Very good. Against the backdrop of his skin color, her hand looked even more creamy and delicate.
"It's okay, it's just a minor wound, it's not bleeding anymore." Wen Xin was not the type to hold grudges, she had long forgotten what made her angry, and she still missed him a little as long as he didn't ask about Hazelnut after not seeing each other for a few days, so she said to him in a naturally charming voice, "We have guests tonight, go change your clothes, I'll be done in a moment."
"Who sent it?" He let go of her hand and made sure that the wound was small and had stopped bleeding. Then he looked at the crab shell parts she had disassembled in the kitchen.
"The logistics department brought it over. I wanted to cook it, but Aunt He said there were female guests and it wouldn't look good if the crab legs were peeled. So I wanted to remove the crab meat so it would be easier to eat. But I definitely can't finish it tonight. Even if I can't finish it, I still have to remove the meat. It's not convenient to leave it for tomorrow."
Yan Motou frowned after listening to this, took off his military uniform casually, threw it on the sofa in the living room, and returned to the kitchen. He unbuttoned his cuffs as he walked, and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, revealing his strong and muscular arms, with slightly bulging blood vessels on his arms and protruding blue veins on the inside of his wrists. Wen Xin was stunned by what she saw, and felt that the sexiness of these arms was about to explode.
Yan Motou took the half-cooked crab from her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Let me do it."
The crab shell that Wen Xin had spent an entire afternoon trying to open was broken into several pieces with just a few "cracks" between his powerful and slender fingers. Wen Xin only had to dig out the meat.
It took her more than ten minutes to open a crab, but it only took him three minutes to open one. In no time, he had opened a whole basket of crabs.
Wen Xin's eyes were wide open, and she kept saying how amazing it was. Finally, she couldn't help but grab his hands and turn them over and over. Why was he not injured at all, even though they were all flesh and blood? He was twisting his body against those thorny shells just now, and there's not even a trace of a wound. Is it really not prickly? She gently touched the palm of his hand and looked up at him.
Yan Mo lowered his head slightly, his deep black eyes fixed on her, watching her curiously and attentively using her delicate white jade hands to rub his palms for wounds. An inexplicable heat welled up in his heart, and when he saw her looking up at him worriedly, his jawline tensed. Just as Wen Xin was holding his hand and wanted to look at her again, he suddenly pulled his hand away, hurriedly saying, "Keep dinner simple, they are not important guests." Then he turned and walked out of the kitchen.
…
It was already six o'clock in the evening when Political Commissar Ye brought Wang Jiajia, the youngest daughter of Staff Officer Wang, to the party.
The Yan family had a table full of food, and there was freshly grilled crab meat. This stuff tastes better when it's freshly grilled, so after Wen Xin had braised it, she only grilled three. When they were eating, she grilled three more. The heat was very important. The crabs had to be grilled to a medium-bodied state, and bubbling tenderly to be the most tender and delicious. They were so delicious that you wanted to swallow your tongue into your stomach.
Wang Jiajia, the youngest daughter of Staff Officer Wang, is an arrogant and spoiled young lady. This is a common problem among the children of cadres in the compound, including Yan Zeyang. As children of cadres, none of them is less arrogant than the other. In short, each one is more irritable and spoiled than the other. However, she has restrained herself a little today.
After all, she had fallen in love with Yan Weiguo's son. It was her first time as a guest at someone's home, so she had to be reserved. But when she saw Wen Xin bringing over the golden spicy crab butter and mushroom and crab meat soup with a smile.
Wang Jiajia stared at her for a long time, her eyes bulging with anger, and she said to He Wenyan rudely on the spot: "Aunt He, your nanny is too young, isn't she? Is the food she cooks edible? My dad said it's not easy to transport these crabs here, so don't waste the food. Our nanny is in her forties and has worked in the cafeteria for more than ten years. She is very experienced."
He Wenyan smiled slightly. Her warm cooking skills had slapped countless people in the face. She didn't say much, just said, "You'll know if it tastes good or not after trying it." There's no point in saying more, you'll know after just one taste.
When Political Commissar Ye saw Wen Xin, his jaw almost dropped. When did the Yan family find such a delicate nanny?
When he got closer, he found that the girl's skin was as white as cream, her lips were like cherry blossoms, and there were beads of sweat on the tip of her nose. Her smile was so warm and beautiful, with all eight teeth showing. It made people feel comfortable all over. If he hadn't been married for more than ten years, he wouldn't have had the composure to sit still like a mountain.
Well, this kid Yan Zeyang actually played tricks on him perfectly! It's really well hidden at home! No wonder I kept running home these days.
If he had such a nanny at home, he would make ten trips a day! Looking back at the boy, Ye Jianzhou covered his forehead with his hands. He was a scout before he became a political commissar! Did he think he could hide something by having a cold face and not looking at people? This is the most abnormal part!
He had already started thinking about how to explain this to the leader when he got back...
