Chapter 75: The Loving Father's Manual
, Section 1 High school students are indeed full of energy. After all, it was Saturday, but Gu Zhijing did not stay at home and sleep in. Instead, he went to play basketball with his friends early in the morning. Before leaving, Gu Zhijing specifically told them that he would come to his house with his friends to play games in the afternoon.
Playing basketball in the morning, playing games in the afternoon, and doing homework on Sunday, he arranged his weekend clearly.
"Mrs. Zhang, can you make a cake like last time in the afternoon? Zhijing's friends will come over to play in the afternoon." Nianshengan thought that the cake could be used to entertain the children, and she also wanted to eat it.
Upon hearing that Zhijing had friends coming over to visit, Zhang's mother happily agreed, "It's just right that we can make a few more flavors." Then she asked Nian Sui'an, "Are there more girls coming over to visit?"
Nian Sui'an laughed, "Zhang's mother, it's too early to worry about this. Zhijing is only in the first year of high school." Although Nian Sui'an may not have the right to worry about this, deep down she doesn't want Gu Zhijing to be like his father. Although he doesn't know what happened to Gu Junxing, it's not an irresponsible behavior after all. After all, the legal age for marriage set by the country is no joke.
She changed the subject again and continued to talk about making cakes, "I'll help you later, call Gu Junxing as well."
"This... the boss has never done this before."
Nian Sui'an didn't care, "If you haven't done it before, just learn. It's impossible for us to do everything to entertain his son's friends. His biological father is idle."
After that, she ran upstairs to find Gu Junxing. Recently, he has been exercising at home, reading books or handling some work in the study, and has become a stay-at-home boy.
When he came to the door of the study, Nian Sui'an knocked on the door, "Boss Gu, can I come in?"
Hearing the word "come in" from inside, Nian Sui'an pushed the door open and walked in.
Nian Sui An did not rush to speak after entering the room. Instead, she walked around the study room with her hands behind her back. The entire wall on the left side of the room was lined with bookshelves. Nian Sui An took a closer look and saw books ranging from literature to history, and even science and technology.
Nian Sui An did not speak, and Gu Jun Xing did not speak either. They just watched her quietly walking around in front of the bookshelf.
"Are you busy?" Nian Sui An walked around the bookshelf three times before she remembered to ask.
"I'm not busy now, what's wrong?"
"That's perfect, come with me to make a cake." Nian Sui An spoke in a very casual tone. She did not think it was a big deal to ask Gu Jun Xing to make a cake.
Gu Jun Xing himself was stunned, as if he had never associated making a cake with himself before.
"I can't." Gu Junxing said honestly. In fact, he seldom even went into the kitchen.
"If you can't, just learn! You're free anyway." Nian Sui'an said as a matter of course.
He knew that Nian Sui'an had learned to make cakes from Zhang Ma before, but he didn't expect that it was not enough for her to learn by herself, and she also wanted to drag him to learn together.
Seeing that Gu Junxing was motionless, Nian Sui'an said doubtfully: "Mr. Gu, you don't still have the idea that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, right?"
Gu Junxing shook his head, "This sentence itself was misunderstood by later generations, and I don't have that idea."
"That's it." Nian Sui'an stepped forward, grabbed Gu Junxing's arm with both hands, and pulled him up.
Gu Junxing was about to stand up, but when he saw Niansui'an pulling him up, he simply pretended to stand up with her strength.
After they left the study, Niansui'an didn't let go of his hand. Gu Junxing looked at her hand and didn't move, so he let her hold on.
"I've asked Aunt Zhang, were you not at home when Zhijing brought his friends home to play?" Niansui'an didn't plan to listen to Gu Junxing's answer, because she had already found out everything anyway, so she continued, "Let me tell you, Zhijing took it very seriously and was very happy that he brought his friends home to play today. You're finally at home, and as a father you have to behave well, understand?" Although the child didn't say it, he definitely hoped that his parents would warmly entertain his friends when they came home to play.
Niansuan nags for a long time, but he doesn't hear Gu Junxing talking. He can't help but ask again: "Did you hear it?"
"I heard it." Gu Junxing is helpless. After Niansuan came, Zhijing's status in the family rose sharply, and now his father has to stand aside.
"Also, you have to smile, don't be too serious, it's easy to scare the children."
Zhang's mother didn't expect that the wife would really drag the boss over, and the two of them came down holding hands (wrists). In Zhang's mother's view, this is no different from having a second child tomorrow.
"Madam, boss, I have to buy some dishes. I have prepared the ingredients. I can just cook it." After saying that, he left the kitchen. Before leaving, he specially went to find the housekeeper Su and asked him to tell anyone not to approach the kitchen!
Now the kitchen is no longer a kitchen, it is clearly the couple's love nest!
However, the two parties did not think it was a love nest, especially Gu Junxing. He stood in the kitchen, like a fish riding a bicycle, a dog wearing a paraglider... In short, he was at a loss.
Niansheng'an did not intend to let him do anything difficult at first, but took the fruits that Zhang's mother prepared for the cake filling and handed them to Gu Junxing, "Cut these fruits into dices."
She started to beat eggs to make the cake base. The proportions of the ingredients were all prepared by Zhang's mother, so she did not have to worry about whether there was too much or too little.
After the cake base was baked, Nian Sui An took the time to look at Gu Jun Xing's progress in dicing the fruit. Nian Sui An had already prepared himself for the fruit to be cut ugly, since it was just a filling, it didn't matter if it looked ugly.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jun Xing cut it quite well, except that he was a little slow, it was impeccable.
Nian Sui'an was well versed in the art of flattery and he immediately applauded and exclaimed: "Wow! That's great! Could you be the legendary culinary genius?"
Although Gu Junxing did not originally think that dicing fruit was something worthy of praise, facing such straightforward compliments from Nian Sui'an, he still curled up the corners of his mouth, but still said proudly: "It's just cutting fruit, what's so difficult about it."
"Wrong! The simpler the job seems, the harder it is to do well. Look, you can actually cut the strawberry and mango cubes into the same size, you are so amazing! The job of spreading cream on the cake base later will also be handed over to you."
"No problem."
With Nian Sui'an's flattery, Gu Junxing finally completed all the work of spreading the cake, icing the cake, and decorating it by himself.
"You've already planned this, right?" Gu Junxing said, without stopping his work of adding lace to the cake.
Nian Sui'an just smiled and said nothing.
Not long after the cake was finished, Gu Zhijing and three friends came back.
The children were very polite and brought fruits and flowers when they came to play.
Nian Sui'an took the things and greeted them one by one.
These kids were indeed afraid of Gu Junxing, even though Gu Junxing had tried his best to put on a gentle expression.
"Go upstairs and play." Nian Sui'an smiled at them, and then said to Gu Zhijing, "There's a cake in the kitchen, take it up and eat it, it's made by your dad."
Gu Zhijing couldn't believe it when he heard it, and immediately looked at his father.
Gu Junxing coughed lightly, then said to his son, "Go play."
Gu Zhijing was skeptical, and when he saw the cake, he began to believe what Nian Sui'an said was true, after all, no one else in the family could make such an ugly cake.
