Seeing the old neighbor giving her a thumbs-up, Li Yanhong straightened her waist, covered her mouth and smiled politely: "What else can I say about my taste? The key is that my daughter-in-law is good..."
After exchanging a few polite words with the neighbors, Li Yanhong quickly invited the Sun family into the house. Just as she was about to ask Duan Qinya if she had eaten or was hungry, she heard Duan Qinya speak excitedly.
"I heard from Miaomiao that your family is planning a big celebration today. How about I go and show off my skills?"
She rubbed her hands together and said, "My dear relatives, let me tell you, I'm not exaggerating, but my cooking skills are praised by everyone who eats them. Yesterday, I cooked for him and my son ate three bowls of rice without stopping."
She didn't say that the reason Sun Gang could show off three bowls of rice was because he worked so hard out of spite and the food didn't taste good at all.
She just regarded those three bowls as a recognition of her cooking skills.
"I've also just learned some Cantonese cuisine, and I'm sure Li Xuan will love it."
Hearing this, Su Lixuan, who was about to leave the house, felt a chill on her back and gently retracted her right foot that had just stepped out of the door.
She must be dreaming, yes, she is dreaming and hasn't woken up yet.
On this side, Su Lixuan relied on self-deception to slip away quickly, while on the other side, Li Yanhong had no way to avoid it and could only look hesitant and want to say something.
How could she say this?
I was still holding a bunch of things that people had given me, and when the words of refusal came to my lips, I didn't know how to say it politely.
But thinking about how badly she was 'poisoned' by Duan Qinya's so-called specialty last time, Li Xuan's small body would definitely not be able to withstand it at all...
Li Yanhong looked at her enthusiastic mother-in-law and then looked down at the basket full of country eggs. She couldn't bear to reject Duan Qinya's kindness, but she also couldn't bear to let her daughter-in-law suffer.
She gritted her teeth and pretended to be close sisters. She freed one hand to hold Duan Qinya and said with a painful and sincere look on her face.
"Don't I know my mother-in-law's craftsmanship?"
"What I'm most proud of is the one cooked by my mother-in-law. The younger generation doesn't know how to appreciate the taste. So, since there are many people eating today, my mother-in-law won't have to do it to save herself the trouble."
"Let's get together privately later, and then I'll have a taste of my mother-in-law's cooking."
She also risked her life, risking herself.
She eats the junk herself, but don't let it harm her daughter-in-law.
Duan Qinya stared at her for a long time, which made Li Yanhong feel uneasy. Then she relaxed her brows and couldn't help laughing.
Li Yanhong: “……?”
Duan Qinya laughed so hard she fell backwards: "Alright, alright, look at you, you look like a brave martyr. If you don't like my cooking, just say so. Why do you have to give me face?"
"I've never seen you give me this much face before, but now that we're on good terms, you're actually giving me some."
Thinking of this, Duan Qinya felt that Li Yan was a better person.
When the two of them were not getting along, Li Yanhong never thought of currying favor with her or saving her face to ease the relationship.
Now that their relationship has eased, Li Yanhong is still so considerate of her feelings.
This shows that from the beginning to the end, Li Yanhong only considered the heart when making friends, not money or power. Duan Qinya knew that she could not have such a character.
If she could have done that from the beginning, she would not have been prejudiced against Li Yanhong and looked down on her.
After thinking about it, Duan Qinya felt guilty. She took Li Yanhong's arm and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I didn't know what I was doing before, so I just showed you a little bit. Now I know what I'm doing."
"Don't even mention that you, mother-in-law, don't want me to show off my skills anymore. Take Miaomiao for example. When she heard me say I wanted to come over and cook Cantonese food for Lixuan, her expression..."
She studied it for a while and could only describe it in two words - ferocious.
Li Yanhong was amused by her.
Duan Qinya was helpless: "Just look at this expression, it seems like he wants to write on his face that I can't cook, I don't have this talent, cooking is like killing people."
No matter how enthusiastic she was, she couldn't withstand so much cold water.
Duan Qinya: "So don't worry, mother-in-law. I was just joking just now. I don't dare to do it anymore. I won't get involved in kitchen matters from now on."
"When I'm at home, I rely on Lao Sun to bring me food from the factory. Once the food is done, I cook some home-cooked meals, like scrambled eggs, but I don't try anything too difficult."
Whether it tastes good or not, at least it is not harmful to your health.
"I'll just eat and drink for free here with your shameless attitude."
Li Yanhong lifted the basket of eggs in her hand and said, "How can you eat and drink for free like you? People who eat and drink for free just open their mouths, but you bring these old things with you."
"Okay, go sit down and drink some hot water. We're having an early dinner today, so just wait and see for the feast!"
Today she specifically asked her second daughter-in-law what dish she wanted to cook and even learned how to make it.
It cannot be said that she has 100% of the cooking skills of her second daughter-in-law, but at least she can make a dish that is both fragrant and tasty.
As for the 'color'... she wasn't sure about that. Some dishes wouldn't look very good when they were cooked for the first time.
But she was confident that the taste would be good, because it was taught to her by her second daughter-in-law!
After a busy day, when the sun was setting, Lu Bo from the front yard came back with his girlfriend Sheng Yan. Before they even entered the backyard, the fragrance wafting from the backyard had already made the people coming and going look intoxicated.
Sheng Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she smelled the aroma of the food.
Before coming, she had no hope at all for Lu Bo's family. She knew that Lu Bo's family lived in a large compound and that a large family lived together.
She felt that scene was noisy just thinking about it.
Before coming here, he even regretted that he shouldn't have agreed so easily to let Lu Bo come to the Lu family.
But when the time came, Lu Bo had already gone to pick her up, and she couldn't change her mind and say she couldn't come.
Especially when Lu Bo said that his mother had started preparing early just to entertain her well.
After hearing this, Sheng Yan no longer felt comfortable enough to act like she couldn't come.
She didn't like Lu Bo very much, but her upbringing taught her not to turn a blind eye to the kindness of her elders, let alone trample on their kindness.
Well, she had no choice but to come with Lu Bo as a guest. She had made up her mind along the way that no matter how dirty and messy the Lu family was, she couldn't turn her back on them since she was here.
Even if Lu Bo's mother prepared a table full of dishes that she didn't like or that were not very good, as long as the intention was there, she couldn't be pretentious with others.
I prepared myself mentally all the way, but I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the compound, I was almost knocked over by the smell of food.
Sheng Yan was surprised: "Lu Bo, is this the meal your family prepared?"
As mentioned before, ever since Lu Yang got married, Lu Bo has been living outside and has rarely returned home.
Naturally, I don’t know what has happened to Li Yanhong’s family now.
In Lu Bo's impression, Li Yanhong's family was so poor that they could only eat three meals of steamed corn bread a day. This was why he sighed repeatedly after seeing Su Lixuan that it was like a flower stuck in cow dung.
