Ye Zhiqiu came back to her senses and was embarrassed for 0.01 seconds. Then she immediately put on a smile and replied, "Auntie, if it's pretty, you should look at it more! Xiaomei, come back here, you can come and help wash the vegetables!"
"Hey, Xiaoye has a pretty good face, as thick as a city wall!"
"Haha, don't worry about the old or the young, all men are the same!"
Ye Zhiqiu ignored their teasing and went to move a stool over for the silent Feng Xiaomei to sit on.
Everyone knew Feng Xiaomei's temper, so she restrained herself a little and stopped teasing them.
Ye Zhiqiu asked quietly, "Xiaomei, why are you here so early? Is Aunt Chen here yet?"
"My mom is here too. Come over early to help..."
Ye Zhiqiu was happy to hear Feng Xiaomei's words. She could talk to him now, which proved that she thought she was familiar with him!
He smiled and said, "Well, this is Brother Banghua's big deal. I also got up at five o'clock to help with the preparations."
Feng Xiaomei asked quietly, "Aren't you sleepy after getting up so early?"
"I'm not that sleepy, I just haven't had breakfast yet and I'm still waiting for my master to make noodles!"
"I didn't eat either... My mom said they would make breakfast here, so there was no need for me to make it myself."
Breakfast will indeed be arranged. Huang Dahe is kneading the dough at this time. Once it is ready, he will make noodles for everyone who helps.
In fact, the most common job in a restaurant is cooking noodles because there are relatively few people eating there.
After washing for a while, Ye Zhiqiu went to change the water. Just as he poured out the water, Zhuang Xiaoli pulled him aside and asked, "Xiaoye, don't just work like an idiot. If you really need help, take Xiaomei downstairs for a walk!"
Ye Zhiqiu replied with a playful smile: "Sister-in-law, you are really a good sister-in-law to Brother Banghua. I am here to help with the work, but you want me to find a date!"
Zhuang Xiaoli laughed and said, "He's his younger brother, and you're also his younger brother. There are so many people washing vegetables anyway, and you won't make any difference! Why not let you work harder and get along with Xiaomei sooner!"
Ye Zhiqiu shrugged and replied, "Sister-in-law, don't be so anxious. Have you forgotten that I'm only nineteen this year? It will take more than a year before I'm old enough to marry Xiaomei!"
"Well, age can be changed!"
It is indeed possible to change your age, but is it really necessary to be so anxious?
Ye Zhiqiu didn’t think it was necessary to be so anxious. They were all still young, so it would be fine to just get along slowly now!
And the most important thing is, the school will not approve it! That’s right, the school will not approve marriages before college graduates!
Because the school believes that these years in college are very important. Students should not be allowed to affect their normal studies due to trivial matters after marriage, so marriage applications will not be approved!
Zhuang Xiaoli didn't know this, but Ye Zhiqiu did, so he smiled and said nothing, fetched some water and went back to continue washing the vegetables.
Feng Xiaomei nudged Ye Zhiqiu with her finger and asked in a whisper, "Why did you take so long..."
Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes, leaned over to her ear, and whispered, "My sister-in-law told me to marry you home quickly, but I said the school wouldn't approve your application and I have to wait until you graduate from university before I can marry you!"
As soon as Ye Zhiqiu finished speaking, he looked at Feng Xiaomei, who was considered very fair in that era. Her face started to turn red from her ears until her entire face turned red!
She actually whispered angrily, "You lecher...shameless..."
Ye Zhiqiu was so happy. This girl is not good at cursing! This is really funny. Fortunately, she didn't say "stinky hooligan"!
He asked with a smile: "How about I come to your house tomorrow at noon?"
After saying that, he felt that it was not appropriate to say that he would go to her house in a dry way, so he added: "Do you have any oil at home? I will bring a chicken to your house and make fried chicken for you, okay?"
Feng Xiaomei swallowed her saliva. When talking about fried chicken, she remembered the taste of the chicken leg. It was indeed very tempting!
She said embarrassedly, "But...my professor will be visiting my home tomorrow at noon...He wants me to live on campus so I can study better..."
Ye Zhiqiu was washing vegetables, but his eyebrows raised. He asked curiously, "Aren't you just a freshman? Has a professor wanted to take you in as his apprentice?"
"The professor is my father's junior fellow apprentice..."
So that's how it is! Ye Zhiqiu was quite curious about what Feng Xiaomei's father studied, but unfortunately he was in a secret unit, and Chen Yuqing had said that his work could not be disclosed casually.
So Ye Zhiqiu could only suppress his curiosity and asked seriously, "Then I'll come as a guest too. Is it you who minds, or Aunt Chen?"
Feng Xiaomei pointed at Ye Zhiqiu and blinked her big eyes, clearly saying that it was you who should mind.
Ye Zhiqiu stopped what he was doing and pointed at himself in surprise, "You mean me? What's there for me to mind?"
"If you don't come, we'll go out to eat... If you come, my mom will let you cook..."
This is really true! Ye Zhiqiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. What was there to mind? It was just cooking a meal!
He smiled and asked, "But I don't mind cooking for you! So, is there any problem?"
Feng Xiaomei was stunned for a moment. She looked at Ye Zhiqiu's sincere face, then shook her head unconsciously.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu still wanted to make some jokes to tease her, but Ma Banghua's voice rang out, asking everyone to go have breakfast first!
The noodles were egg noodles. Ye Zhiqiu queued up and got the noodles, then found Feng Xiaomei's seat and sat opposite her.
Unfortunately, Chen Yuqing was sitting next to her, so Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Aunt Chen, I just told Xiaomei that I will go to your house to cook at noon tomorrow to help entertain her professor!"
Chen Yuqing looked at Feng Xiaomei with a little surprise, because last night the mother and daughter were discussing which restaurant would be more suitable!
But she soon noticed Feng Xiaomei, the questioning look in her big eyes. Her daughter's eyes could speak, and when she didn't want to speak, her eyes would express everything.
Chen Yuqing immediately understood that her daughter wanted her to agree, so she smiled and replied, "Haha, welcome, welcome. Xiaoye, you don't know that I'm still worried about which restaurant is more suitable!
After all, my mother and I are not very good at cooking. We can only make dumplings and buns, and if that doesn't work, we just make stews. This is not suitable for entertaining guests, especially since Xiaomei's professor is also your Uncle Feng's junior apprentice.
Ye Tianya and Feng Yuanzheng were both 39 years old, but Ye Tianya was born two months earlier than Feng Yuanzheng. So after comparing their ages at the Ye family, they decided to call Feng Xiaomei's parents uncle and aunt.
Ye Zhiqiu patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me. I'll get the ingredients and make sure I can entertain this elder well!"
"Okay, this junior fellow is from Sichuan. You can arrange it accordingly. I'll give you the money for groceries, but I won't pay you for the cooking."
"Well, don't talk about whether to pay or not. Aunt Chen, just wait. I'm from Sichuan, so I cook spicy dishes. My second master apprenticed to a Sichuan chef, so my Sichuan cuisine can stand the test of time..."
