"First, isn't my son a family member? Second, can't I take my son with me on the mission?"
The two people who were talking were rendered speechless by Shen Mingzhu's retort, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
Sun Feifei smiled and tried to ease the awkwardness, "Shen Mingzhu, we are just joking, why do you take it seriously?"
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Sun Feifei coldly, "Is it funny?"
Sun Feifei was embarrassed.
"I asked you if it's funny. How is it funny? Tell me."
Sun Feifei's friend stood up and said, "Hey, what's your attitude? A group of adults are out having fun, and you're a burden with your child. Can't you let people say a few words?"
"How did my son become a burden? Who did he burden? Did he burden you? Or did he burden Sun Feifei?"
"never mind."
Sun Feifei held her friend back, and said in a tone that she was willing to endure the humiliation and make peace, "Shen Mingzhu, just think of it as something I said wrong..."
"What do you mean by saying something wrong? Didn't you say anything wrong? Did I break the rules when I was taking care of my son? Which rules did I break?"
“No foul.”
Yan Yi stood up to calm the situation down. "There are no restrictions on family members. It doesn't matter if they are partners, friends, brothers or children. So there is no need to worry too much about it. If you are worried about being dragged down, let's team up with Shen Mingzhu and her son later."
No one else had any objections, except Sun Feifei, who looked unhappy and stared at Shen Mingzhu with resentful eyes.
"I refuse." Pei Ziheng said.
Most people looked at the mother and son with incomprehension and even a hint of condemnation, believing that Pei Ziheng's ignorance was due to Shen Mingzhu's failure to discipline the child.
Only Sun Feifei was secretly delighted, hoping that Pei Ziheng would continue to act unreasonably, and preferably make Yan Yi angry and change his mind.
Yan Yi walked up to Pei Ziheng, bent down slightly, and said in a very gentle tone, "Why don't you want to team up with me?"
Pei Ziheng thought to himself, of course it's because you have bad intentions towards my mother, but he said seriously, "You and your friend uncle, you are the kind of people who are spoiled and don't know how to work. If I team up with you, won't my mother have to do the work of four people? She will be exhausted to death."
Pei Ziheng almost said the word "disdain" clearly.
Even Yan Yi couldn't refute this reason.
Sun Feifei saw the opportunity and immediately responded, "Shen Mingzhu has a child with her, so it's better for her to team up with a couple like Xiang Ying. Yan Yi, you two can team up with us."
Sun Feifei's friend quickly agreed, "Yes, you two grown men, partnering with a married woman like her, it's not a good idea to be in a situation where you are in a compromising situation."
Pei Ziheng was puzzled: "If that's the case, Uncle Yan can't team up with you guys. If we stay alone together, Uncle Yan won't be able to explain it to you guys."
Everyone was amused.
Sun Feifei's face turned red. She was angry but she didn't want to argue with a child for fear of appearing to be petty.
Yan Yi raised his hand with amusement, wanting to rub Pei Ziheng's head, but Pei Ziheng dodged him.
He didn't care. He straightened up and said to Shen Mingzhu, "Please find a seat first. Some people haven't arrived yet. I will announce the content of today's activities after everyone arrives."
Shen Mingzhu nodded and took Pei Ziheng to Xiang Ying.
Seeing her coming, Xiang Ying waved happily, "Mingzhu, come and sit down."
After Shen Mingzhu sat down, Xiang Ying introduced her husband to Shen Mingzhu.
After the two sides greeted each other, Xiang Ying couldn't help but look at Pei Ziheng and praised him: "Your son is really handsome, but he doesn't look like you. Does he look like his father?"
Shen Mingzhu looked at Pei Ziheng worriedly and said, "Of course he doesn't look alike. His chin looks a lot like mine."
Perhaps Xiang Ying was psychologically hinted by Shen Mingzhu's words. She looked at Pei Ziheng carefully again and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, they are somewhat similar. And your son's skin is just like yours, white and tender, like a peeled egg."
Hearing Xiang Ying say this, Pei Ziheng turned to look at Shen Mingzhu beside him, with a secret joy in his dark eyes.
Sensing his little thoughts, Shen Mingzhu held him in her arms affectionately, "Of course, my son looks like me."
Pei Ziheng pursed his lips and said nothing, but his heart felt as sweet and happy as if he had eaten honey.
It turns out that he has some similarities to his mother.
After a while, everyone arrived. After asking the family members to introduce themselves, Yan Yi announced the content of today's activities.
Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing.
Every group consists of two students and their family members, and they need to cook a dish that can feed four tables of people.
The types of dishes are also limited, two cold dishes, four hot dishes, one dessert, and one soup.
Divide into groups first.
Shen Mingzhu and Xiang Ying naturally formed a group.
The other students also quickly formed teams. Neither fate nor human effort was involved, but Yan Yi and Sun Feifei were left behind.
The girl brought by Sun Feifei is called Zhao Fang, and the friend brought by Yan Yi is called Ning Yuan.
To be honest, the combination of these two pairs of handsome men and beautiful women is quite pleasing to the eyes.
Well, it feels like Sun Feifei and her duo are not here to participate in the event, but to go on a blind date and find men.
Not only did Sun Feifei have feelings for Yan Yi, but Zhao Fang also had feelings for Ning Yuan. She kept looking at Ning Yuan with her little eyes and was almost drooling.
Tsk.

After dividing into groups, the next step is to discuss the dishes that each group will make.
Although Shen Mingzhu is a good cook, she wanted to go out and have fun today.
It is April now, and everything is coming back to life. Everywhere is green and full of vitality. Even the wild flowers on the roadside are blooming exceptionally fresh and beautiful. It is so pleasant to spend the weekend in such a place.
For this purpose, she even wore a newly made skirt as she didn't want to be smelled by cooking fumes. So she quickly discussed with Xiang Ying and grabbed the spot to make cold dishes.
She had thought it all out and decided to make some raw shredded radish.
Select red radish, cut it into thin strips, marinate it with salt for half an hour, then squeeze out excess water, add onion, ginger, garlic, vinegar, and light soy sauce to mix it together, then add some white sugar to enhance the flavor.
A plate of shredded radish like this is refreshing and appetizing.
When the others heard the dishes from Shen Mingzhu's group, they started to make fun of them, "Shen Mingzhu, you are too lazy. Mixing shredded radish is such a simple thing. Even if it is inconvenient for you to bring your child with you, you can't be so perfunctory, right?"
"that is."
Several students began to express their dissatisfaction. After all, everyone wants to cook simple and easy dishes.
Finally, in order to be fair, it was decided to use drawing lots to determine the cuisine of each group.
Shen Mingzhu was lucky and happened to catch the cold dish. Now, everyone had nothing to say.
Although the farm has vegetable fields and farms, it does not have all the ingredients available. Some of the ingredients that are not available need to be purchased from the mountain.
So Yan Yi asked each group to list the ingredients and ingredients they needed so that the people on the farm could prepare them.
The dishes for Shen Mingzhu's group were decided by Shen Mingzhu, so Xiang Ying left the task of listing the ingredients to her, while Xiang Ying took her husband to find out what dishes other groups were making.
After a while, Xiang Ying came back and gossiped with Shen Mingzhu with great interest: "Sun Feifei's group also drew a cold dish like us, but guess what, they thought the cold dish was too simple, so they exchanged it with other groups for a hot dish and wanted to make squirrel fish!"
To be honest, Shen Mingzhu admired Sun Feifei very much. In order to show herself in front of the man she liked, she actually chose such a complicated dish.
But, she also thought Sun Feifei was pretty stupid.
Given Yan Yi's background and family background, his criteria for choosing a partner would definitely not be based on cooking skills.
If you want to eat good food, wouldn't it be better to hire a chef to cook at home? But it's none of her business. She is only keen to be a bystander.
On the other side, Ning Yuan was also whispering to Yan Yi about Sun Feifei.
"No, is she sick? I specially arranged a simple and easy task for our group, but she went there to bring back trouble."
Yan Yi replied calmly, "She likes to make trouble for herself, why do you worry about her?"
"I don't worry about it. She can solve her own problems anyway. I'll just sit back and wait for the food."
Yan Yi did not comment.
Ning Yuan glanced at Shen Mingzhu with a teasing expression, "That Shen girl, what's going on between you and her? She was eager to help someone out before, but just now she was doing something behind his back to help him fulfill his wish and get some cold dishes. Hiss, when did you become so helpful?"
Yan Yi smiled, "Do you have any objections?"
Ning Yuan pinched his chin and stared at him, "Something's wrong. Something's wrong with you."
