"Mom, go check if the food is ready yet. Ye Ying and I are starving."
"What are you rushing me for... Are you a starving ghost reincarnated?" Madam Ji scolded irritably.
After scolding him, she still felt a little sorry for her son, so she turned around and went out to check if the food was ready...
This is... a classic case of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Parents everywhere share the same heart.
Ye Ying stood obediently to the side, watching the interaction between Teacher Ji Wuchen and his mother. It was quite interesting; she hadn't expected Teacher Ji to have this side to him.
My aunt is a wonderful person too.
However, there's no need to eat here! Ye Ying thought to herself, and before she knew it, the words had slipped out.
Ji Wuchen asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Ye Ying... what were you muttering about just now?"
Ji Wuchen was just thinking that his mother was really a child at heart.
well……
I was so preoccupied with my thoughts that I didn't hear what Ye Ying said clearly, hence this question.
Ye Ying declined, saying, "Teacher Ji, it's too late today, so I won't come to your house for dinner. Let's do it another day!"
Ji Wuchen frowned and looked over. "Ye Ying, you've taken care of me for so long, and now you're being told not to stay for dinner and to go home? My mother is capable of... scolding me to death."
ah?
No way?
Is it really that serious?!
Ye Ying was surprised.
Ji Wuchen sighed with emotion: "Sigh... Ye Ying, you don't know, if you can't stay for a meal today, I don't think I'll get a good rest tonight... My mom is different from other people's moms..."
They all use the same terms of address: Mom, dear son. They're all their own mothers and sons, so what's the difference?!
Could it be...?
Does Teacher Ji's mother have an extra pair of eyes, an extra nose, and an extra mouth compared to other mothers?
The two argued back and forth for quite a while, but Ye Ying couldn't refuse their hospitality and had no choice but to stay for the meal.
Before long, Madam Ji was followed by several servants, who brought in fragrant and delicious food.
Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, osmanthus cake, water chestnut cake, braised eggplant, pickled fish, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, hot and sour shredded potatoes, sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin...
Most of the dishes emitted a strong, sour vinegar smell. Ye Ying wondered to herself, "Did they spill some old vinegar?"
Or what happened?
Why are there so many dishes made with vinegar?
Even if she's very jealous, she can't eat all of these, right? Her teeth would be so sensitive after eating them!
Ji Wuchen was also startled, his eyebrows twitching a few times. He subconsciously asked the servant standing to the side, "Did Madam cook these dishes today? Madam was the head chef..."?
The maid, Wang Ma, bowed her head respectfully and replied, "Yes... young master, today's meal was decided by the madam."
While making arrangements, Madam Ji asked Ye Ying, "Is your name Ye Ying? I overheard my rascal calling you that just now, and that's how I found out you're his student. If you don't mind, may I call you Ying Bao...?"
"I don't mind..." Ye Ying waved her hand, indicating that she really didn't mind.
"That's good...that's good." Madam Ji warmly stepped forward, took Ye Ying's hand, and rubbed it a couple of times.
Ji Wuchen couldn't bear to look. He looked at the two women in front of him with a serious expression and said to one of them, "Mom, could you please not reveal your little habits? You might scare Ye Ying..."
