Aside from Su Jingjing, this was the first time they had ever eaten such delicious food; it only needed to be briefly dipped in sauce before eating.
The key is that the sauce is also delicious, salty and spicy, which is especially satisfying.
Li Yuehuan hissed from the spiciness, "Second sister-in-law, it's so delicious, I want to eat it again next time."
She broke out in a sweat in the dead of winter, took off her coat, leaving only a light yellow sweater, and rolled up her sleeves to become a live-fire worker.
Hot pot is the perfect match for winter!
Su Jingjing sat opposite her, looking at Huanhuan's chubby cheeks, which made her look very appetizing.
"Eat more if it's delicious."
He picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and put it in her bowl. "Whenever you want to eat it next time, just tell your second sister-in-law."
Li Yuehuan was almost moved to tears. "Second sister-in-law, you're so kind!"
Su Jingjing's eyes sparkled with a smile under the lights.
Sitting next to him, Li Hanting frowned, worried that his wife might have a hard time.
"Mom, Yuanyuan wants to eat shrimp."
The little guy, his mouth full of food, pointed indistinctly at the shrimp in the pot.
It looks exactly like a little squirrel.
Su Jingjing wiped the soy sauce from the corner of her mouth, moved the cooled chicken soup in front of her, and slightly raised the corners of her eyes.
"Okay, Mom will peel the shrimp for you. You can have some soup first."
The next second, Yuanyuan held the big bowl with both hands and started drinking it with smacking sounds.
The bowl was bigger than her face, which looked rather comical.
"Honey, let me peel the shrimp."
Li Hanting looked at her calmly with his dark eyes, his slender hands peeling shrimp with practiced ease.
In just a few seconds, the shrimp shells came off, and the translucent shrimp meat was placed into the daughter's bowl.
"Thank you, Dad."
Yuanyuan thanked them politely, dipped her food in some sauce, and ate it with relish.
Su Jingjing knew the man was feeling sorry for her, but watching him peel shrimp was truly a pleasure.
The hot pot meal lasted a full hour and a half, and everyone was very satisfied.
Li Yuehuan let out a burp, cradled her bulging belly, and leaned back in her seat. "Second sister-in-law, I feel so satisfied."
Li Hanting frowned, his face turning cold, and raised his voice seriously, "How are you sitting?"
In the Li family, breaking the rules is not allowed.
After a while, Li Yuehuan finally reacted and started to act coquettishly towards Su Jingjing.
"Second sister-in-law, look, second brother is scolding me."
Su Jingjing gave her a reassuring look and smiled sweetly, "Your second brother is right, you should get up and walk around after you've eaten."
Faced with her gentle second sister-in-law, Li Yuehuan was like a docile kitten, very obedient.
An'an and Yuanyuan were also very full. Su Jingjing was worried that they would have indigestion, so she told them to get up and walk around, but not to jump around.
"Second sister-in-law, let me help you clear the dishes."
Her second brother's eyes were filled with coldness, a death stare, and she felt too embarrassed to be a lazy bum.
Su Jingjing politely declined, "No need, you go play with the two children."
Judging from her actions in the kitchen just now, it's obvious that this girl hasn't been in the kitchen many times.
"Honey, let Huanhuan clean up by herself. You come with me."
He cherishes his own wife.
"ah--"
Li Yuehuan was shocked. She was left to clean up the mess on the table all by herself?
Li Hanting raised an eyebrow. "What, you're not happy about it?"
This provided a convenient excuse to send her back.
"Hehe." Li Yuehuan forced a smile. "Second brother, I'd be very happy to."
He declared confidently to Su Jingjing, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I will clean it up thoroughly, including the kitchen."
She knew her second brother's ulterior motives and wanted to send her back.
Hmm... No way.
Even though Su Jingjing was still worried, she knew that A-Ting might have something important to tell her. She suppressed her thoughts, washed her hands, and went into the house with him.
"Ah Ting, is something urgent?"
Li Hanting picked her up horizontally and gently placed her on the edge of the bed, then held and played with her two fair and delicate hands.
The man's series of actions left Su Jingjing completely bewildered.
Li Hanting affectionately pinched her nose, "Silly girl, you've been busy all day. Huanhuan can handle something as simple as washing the dishes."
"Don't spoil her too much. Just tell her what to do."
Jingjing already has a lot of schoolwork, and when she gets home she has to take care of the children. Now, with another foodie on the list, he doesn't want her to be so tired.
Su Jingjing's eyes were clear as water as she gently shook her head, "I'm not tired at all."
Others might feel the pressure of the college entrance exam, but she has already experienced it once and is very relaxed.
As for family pressure, she has none. An'an and Yuanyuan are very well-behaved, and sometimes when A-Ting comes back, he will help with housework. She is really relaxed.
"Aren't you tired?"
Li Hanting changed the subject, "Then why do you complain of being tired every night?"
Su Jingjing suddenly blushed, her cheeks glowing, looking quite adorable.
He, he lasted at least an hour each time, leaving her with a sore back and breathless exhaustion.
"Um……"
The man deliberately dragged out the last syllable, waiting for her response.
"That's different."
Her dark, bright eyes stared at him intently, a hint of awkwardness in them.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" outside, as if something had fallen.
The ambiguous atmosphere in the room instantly dissipated.
Su Jingjing's heart tightened. "I'll go out and take a look."
She put on her shoes and walked outside, her steps slightly unsteady, not only because she was nervous about what was outside, but also because she wanted to escape the web of intrigue woven by the man.
Li Hanting pressed his back teeth together, took a deep breath, and realized that this younger sister was there specifically to teach him a lesson.
Li Yuehuan, sitting in the kitchen, stared at the broken pieces on the floor, momentarily at a loss.
An An and Yuan Yuan were anxiously about to come in, but she quickly stopped them, "No... don't come in."
If the two little ones get hurt, the whole family will hold her accountable.
"An'an, stand outside obediently with your sister."
"Auntie, I'll go get the broom."
Seeing that her aunt was not injured, An'an calmly went to get a broom.
"Auntie, are you alright?"
Yuanyuan clung to the kitchen doorway, her eyes filled with worry, her little feet wiggling as if trying to sneak inside.
"Auntie is alright."
Li Yuehuan smiled calmly, but she was actually very flustered inside.
She's utterly useless, more likely to ruin things than to accomplish anything. She finally managed to get a chance to impress her sister-in-law, and now she's messed it up.
"Yuanyuan, did your parents hear anything?"
She's now just praying that the room is soundproof.
Yuanyuan didn't bother to answer her aunt's question. She ran over, took Su Jingjing's hand, and chattered away, telling her everything.
His brow was furrowed, and he looked very worried.
"Mom knows." Su Jingjing patted her daughter's head. "You just stand at the door and don't come in."
An'an then brought over a broom, which Su Jingjing took and stepped into the kitchen.
Li Yuehuan exclaimed, "Second sister-in-law, be careful not to step on the shards!"
Su Jingjing asked calmly, "Huanhuan, did you break the bowl?"
It was a miracle that the bowl didn't break when I cooked noodles last time.
The person immediately lowered their head, fiddling with the hem of their sweater, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I broke the bowl."
Oh no, oh no, my second brother must have heard it too.
