The meal was soon prepared, and the food was rich and fragrant all over the room.
Xia Han and Director Sun frequently brought vegetables to Li Peicheng, which made Li Peicheng, who lost his parents at a very young age, feel the warmth of home. He was slightly touched and gradually integrated into this family that was a stranger a moment ago.
"The sweet and sour pork ribs cooked by my aunt are first-class, crispy, sour and sweet, I can't even compare to them." Li Peicheng praised.
"Haha!" Director Sun suddenly laughed happily when he heard this and said, "Little Li has a good eye for pearls!"
Seeing that Li Peicheng was a little stunned, Xia Han rolled his eyes at Director Sun and said to Li Peicheng with a smile: "Look how proud your uncle is. Your uncle cooked this dish."
"Ah! It turns out that my uncle is actually a master in the cooking world!" Li Peicheng said in surprise.
"That's right, uncle, I am a well-rounded talent who is good at officialdom and kitchen work!"
Being praised by others for his cooking skills made Director Sun feel particularly good.
"Look how beautiful you are!" Xia Han rolled her eyes at Director Sun again, then put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in Li Peicheng's bowl, and said with a smile: "Ignore your uncle, he knows this special dish!"
When Director Sun heard this, he laughed twice and said: "You are serious, can't you save some face for me?"
Xia Han heard this and said: "Why stay? Xiao Li is not an outsider!"
Xia Han's words made Li Peicheng, who had lost his parents since childhood, tremble slightly. Regardless of whether Xia Han's words were true or polite, he accepted them.
The enthusiasm shown by Director Sun and his wife towards Li Peicheng made Sun Xiaoxuan very uncomfortable, especially when she heard Xia Han say these words, she felt even more unhappy.
The more care and attention Li Peicheng received from her parents, the more she felt a sense of crisis, and the more she disliked Li Peicheng.
This is a very strange psychology.
Sun Xiaoxuan's eyes kept rolling. She wanted to teach this outsider who wanted to please her parents and discipline herself a lesson.
Sun Xiaoxuan's clever eyes once again flashed a sly look.
Don’t you want to take care of me? Don’t you want to make money from my family? Well, then I will make you serve me and torture you.
"From Teacher Li's tone, it seems that you can also cook?" Sun Xiaoxuan asked.
At this time, Xia Han and Director Sun also recalled that Li Peicheng had just said that they could not catch up even if they flattered him, so they all turned their attention to Li Peicheng.
Li Peicheng nodded and said, "I know a lot, but I'm far behind compared to my aunt and uncle."
Li Peicheng's words are actually a bit modest. He has been very sensible since he was a child. His grandfather is old and has bad eyesight. He often makes mistakes in salt, MSG, etc., and the smoke from oil burns his eyes, so Li Peicheng started cooking spoons at a very young age.
His best dishes are mainly crucian carp, river shrimp, snails, and a dish like Director Sun, which is sweet and sour pork ribs.
It turns out that Li Peicheng's family was poor, so he often went to the river to fish for snails, shrimps and fish. This way he saved money on buying food, so over time these three dishes became particularly delicious. As for the sweet and sour pork ribs, they were cooked well.
That's because meat is expensive, and Li Peicheng was afraid of wasting good materials, so he consulted experts in the village and put in a lot of effort.
"Teacher Li really knows how to cook. That's great. This way I don't have to eat fast food and have instant noodles for lunch!" Sun Xiaoxuan clapped her hands happily.
"You girl, Xiao Li is here to make up lessons for you, how can you trouble him to prepare lunch for you?" Xia Han scolded, but it could be heard that there was still a hint of hope in her tone. After all, her daughter had a summer vacation.
Being at home and eating fast food and instant noodles every day made her feel distressed and helpless. Besides, she was still growing taller.
It would be great if Xiao Li could help cook a few dishes at noon and eat with Xuanxuan, Xia Han thought secretly.
"Why not? Tutoring time is from 8:30 to 11 o'clock. Teacher Li has to eat anyway when he goes back to school. Why not eat at our house?"
As she spoke, Sun Xiaoxuan shook Li Peicheng's arm pitifully and said, "Teacher Li, can you please?"
Xia Han and Director Sun suddenly felt sad when they saw Sun Xiaoxuan shaking Li Peicheng's arm.
If only she had such a brother! Maybe she wouldn't be so willful, and wouldn't want to go out and play all day long because of loneliness, the two sighed secretly.
Alas, although family planning saved China, it also made people in the 1980s a lonely generation lacking brothers and sisters.
Director Sun wanted to open his mouth to blame Sun Xiaoxuan, but he opened and closed his mouth.
Li Peicheng smelled the smell of conspiracy again, but he was full of affection for Director Sun and his wife. And although Sun Xiaoxuan was a little willful and used some conspiracies, Li Peicheng could not feel disgust with her. He even clearly knew the pitiful twinkling in Sun Xiaoxuan's moving eyes.
The real intention of looking at her was to reduce him, Li Peicheng, to a servant. But Li Peicheng still couldn't help but feel pity for her!
"No problem, but you can't blame me if it doesn't taste good!" Li Peicheng said to Sun Xiaoxuan.
Sun Xiaoxuan's face showed a triumphant smile again, hehe, I don't care if it tastes good or not, I just like to see you washing and cooking the dishes for me! But she said: "No, of course not!"
"Xiao Li, this is too much trouble for you!" Xia Han said with some embarrassment. After all, Li Peicheng's other identity is Professor He's favorite disciple.
"Haha, Auntie, you're welcome. Not only can I use your kitchen to practice my cooking skills, but I can also eat every day!" Li Peicheng said half-jokingly.
Sun Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes and said: "Mom, if you are really afraid of trouble, just give the money to Teacher Li!"
Hehe, if you calculate the money and you don't cook it well, I will ask you to cook it again until you are satisfied. If you are still stunned, Sun Xiaoxuan is secretly proud of her wit.
Li Peicheng's face changed slightly. Although he was short of money, he still made a clear distinction between favors and work. He deserved the tutoring money, but preparing lunch was because he was betraying the face of Director Sun and his family.
Director Sun did not notice the change in Li Peicheng's expression. He was very embarrassed to ask Li Peicheng, a graduate student, to cook for his daughter. Moreover, he knew that Li Peicheng's family was poor and thought his daughter's proposal was a good one. So he said: "Xuanxuan
You’re right, money should be counted!”
Director Sun was just about to give a number when Xia Han kicked him, and he realized that Li Peicheng's face looked a little ugly.
"If uncle wants to count money, I will go back to school to eat lunch!" Li Peicheng said.
"Xiao Li, don't pay attention to your uncle. He is an official and his brain is rusty. You are not an outsider!" Xia Han rolled his eyes at Director Sun.
"Yes, yes, the most important thing in officialdom is interests. Uncle was confused!" Director Sun did not blame Li Peicheng at all. On the contrary, he felt more and more that Li Peicheng was a good person. At the same time, he also secretly blamed himself for being confused. There is no need to say it out when the time comes.
When giving money to tutors, just give more.
When Li Peicheng saw that Director Sun and his wife cared so much about him, his unhappiness immediately disappeared.
Because he said a few more words, Li Peicheng will become the man of the house during the two months of summer vacation.
Hypocrite, fake noble!
When Sun Xiaoxuan saw that the proposal to give money was rejected, she felt very unhappy. You must know that giving money and not giving money are completely different! After giving money, she, Sun Xiaoxuan, could boss Li Peicheng around and treat him as a servant, but
Without money, Li Peicheng could only be asked to do more work in the kitchen, but without the condescension, hostess's aura and commanding power.
But fortunately, Li Peicheng finally figured it out. Not only did he no longer have to go out to eat unpalatable fast food and annoying instant noodles, but he could also cross his legs and watch the tutor and a grown man running in and out of the kitchen.
It's beautiful to think about, so overall Sun Xiaoxuan is still very happy.
