But in fact, he loved everyone in his family silently.
For example, the silence after he asked Zhan Baiyi just now was not because he was unhappy, but because he knew it, and then he was not used to it or said he had nothing to say, so he became habitually silent.
To be honest, Zhan Baiyi didn't really like Zhan Tianning's character at first. For him who loves to talk and laugh, if he was silenced, he would rather jump into the Yellow River and drown.
However, when he gradually got to know this little brother and had more contact with him, he discovered that he had a gentle and warm heart despite his cold appearance.
Maybe it was because he loved Wu Jiwu, or maybe he really felt sorry for Zhan Tianning. In short, Zhan Bai vowed to use his own sunshine to infect Tianning's younger brother and turn him into a man who loves to laugh.
No matter how bad it is, I can just talk a little more.
And Zhan Baiyi is also working tirelessly towards this goal.
After packing their schoolbags and returning the tables and chairs, the two brothers looked at each other and were about to speak when the sound of a car horn came from downstairs.
"Mom is back." Zhan Bai's eyes lit up and he immediately ran away. God knows, after just one day without seeing his mother, he missed her so much.
Behind him, Zhan Tianning pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, but there was still a bit of excitement in his pure and innocent eyes.
Zhan Bai hadn't seen Xu Rongrong for a day, but he hadn't seen Xu Rongrong for five days.
Therefore, Zhan Tianning's pace is not slow. His body, which has been trained by Zhan Yiyang for a long time, looks thin. This is just a characteristic of the growth period of his youth. In fact, Zhan Tianning's body is quite strong.
After all, he is the son of a major general. Although Zhan Yiyang is no longer a soldier and has no plans to send Zhan Tianning to become a soldier, it is still necessary to give his son some physical training occasionally. Therefore, Zhan Tianning is very explosive and can naturally run quickly.
Easily surpassing Zhan Baiyi.
However, after thinking about it again and again, Zhan Tianning finally chose to follow Zhan Baiyi and did not choose to surpass him.
In this way, the two teenagers ran quickly downstairs, crossed the garden and the cobblestone path, and came to the front door.
Looking at the Bentley that took him to school in the morning, Bai Yi shouted excitedly, "Mom, mom."
He stood on the cobblestone path, waving his hands and jumping up and down.
"Bai Yi, Tianning." Xu Rongrong opened the car door, smiled and waved in the same way.
"Mom." Bai Yi has the most lively personality. He could no longer hold back at this moment and threw himself into Xu Rongrong's arms.
Zhan Tianning was more reserved. He stood quietly behind Bai Yi, caught Xu Rongrong's eyes, and smiled lightly at her, "Mom."
"Good son." Xu Rongrong put his arm around Bai Yi, and did not let go of Tianning with the other hand. He forcefully pulled Tianning into his arms while he was standing.
Xu Rongrong is not a person who prefers one to another. Both of them are sons, so they naturally embrace each other.
If Bai Yi should be loved more because he was abandoned by his parents before, then Zhan Tianning should be loved more because half of his original maternal love was taken away from him.
Xu Rongrong smiled gently, hugging her son as she returned to the villa all the way.
Zhan Yiyang went to park the car, and Mrs. Ming took her Filipino maid to pick up the shopping and cook and wash the vegetables.
"How are you, Bai Yi, are you okay at school?" Mother and son were sitting on the sofa. Xu Rongrong turned on the TV and asked Bai Yi with concern.
"Thank you, Mom, for caring about me. I'm doing well in school." Zhan Baiyi answered Xu Rongrong with a smile.
"You are so handsome, is there any little girl who likes you?" Xu Rongrong looked at Zhan Baiyi's warm smile and suddenly couldn't help but smile.
But to Xu Rongrong's surprise, Zhan Baiyi was not shy or embarrassed. Instead, he replied very calmly, "Of course, Mom, you see how handsome I am, how could any little girl not like it?"
"
Seeing Zhan Baiyi's confident face, Xu Rongrong was speechless.
Well, this guy is not very thick-skinned, and she, Xu Rongrong, is willing to take advantage of him.
In fact, you should have guessed it. Although Zhan Tianning was very young, he was already sought after by countless junior high school students in elementary school. However, due to his cold personality, those girls only dared to watch him from a distance.
But I don't dare to go up and confess my love, or give some chocolates or something.
But Bai Yi's personality is different. He is cheerful and enthusiastic. It's not that he can attract girls better than Tianning, but because he won't keep girls away with his indifferent temperament, so those seniors and juniors dare to
Approach him, confess your feelings, give him chocolates, etc.
Therefore, the reason why he sent Bai Yi to class on Friday, that is, today, instead of sending Bai Yi to class on Monday, was because Xu Rongrong was a little careful.
She has raised Zhan Tianning for twelve years, but she has never had any of her son's chocolates. Now that she has a son like Bai Yi who is so easily popular with girls, how can she not take the opportunity to eat her son's chocolates?
Thinking of this, Xu Rongrong narrowed his eyes with a smile.
On Friday, Bai Yi went to show his face. With his appearance and communication skills, he will definitely attract the attention of girls. On Saturday and weekend, Xu Rongrong deliberately let the girls prepare chocolate.
When Monday comes, Xu Rongrong is sure that Bai Yi will accept the chocolates and love letters.
By then, she can eat her son's chocolate.
It's wonderful to think about.
Maybe Bai Yi can take a little girl home and let her enjoy the feeling of having a daughter.
Zhan Baiyi and Zhan Tianning next to them looked at each other. They both looked at Xu Rongrong with doubtful eyes, not understanding why their mother smiled so cunningly.
At this time, there was a noise outside the door, but it was Filipino maids coming over with ingredients.
"It's already eight o'clock. Everything Madam asked me to prepare is ready. Now I can start cooking with just a little cutting of the ingredients." Meanwhile, Mrs. Ming happily talked to Xu Rongrong and asked her when she would start cooking.
Xu Rongrong glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and found that it was already past eight o'clock, so he nodded, "Wash the ingredients. I'll change my clothes and come back."
Sister-in-law Ming nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen, cutting the ingredients washed by the Filipino maids into suitable pieces, blanching what should be done, and soaking what should be soaked.
And just when Xu Rongrong changed into home clothes, wearing sleeves and an apron and walked out, Zhan Yiyang also left the car and came back.
"Yiyang, go take a shower and change clothes. I think you can eat when you come out." Xu Rongrong looked at Zhan Yiyang with a smile, his eyes and brows full of cunning and good mood.
Zhan Yiyang raised his eyebrows in surprise, then glanced at Zhan Baiyi and Zhan Tianning, obviously curious about how they made Xu Rongrong happy.
However, the ultimate party duty is to take a shower and change clothes.
So Zhan Yiyang nodded to Xu Rongrong, turned around and went back upstairs.
On the sofa, Zhan Tianning and Zhan Baiyi were watching TV attentively. Although they were still wondering about Xu Rongrong's sly smile just now, they were both smart children and knew when to ask and what to do.
Xu Rongrong, on the other hand, took the spoon from Mrs. Ming's hand and quickly cooked the food.
It was getting late, and she couldn't go to bed immediately after eating, and the two children had to go to bed at ten o'clock to ensure sleep, so there really wasn't much time left for her to cook.
The ribs were originally supposed to be stewed slowly and finely in a purple clay pot for several hours, but now that we don't have enough time, we can only stew the ribs in the pressure cooker first, and then put them into the purple clay pot to simmer for a while.
As for the prawns, Xu Rongrong’s method of handling them is even simpler.
Several Filipino maids helped pull off the shrimp threads. Mrs. Ming had already soaked the shrimps for her earlier, so she just put them in water to blanch them briefly before cooking them.
After about half an hour of this, the dishes finally came out of the oven.
It happened that Zhan Yiyang had already finished taking a shower and had his hair dried.
Xu Rongrong went to change clothes. Mrs. Ming and the Filipino maid brought the meals prepared by Xu Rongrong to the dining table.
"This is spicy prawns."
But I saw a plate of oily and red prawns in the hands of Mrs. Ming. The red shrimps and the soup gave people a very spicy feeling. There may be timid people who dare not try it, but everyone in the Zhan family knows that
, the spicy prawns made by Xu Rongrong, although they seem very spicy, they are really very spicy, but they taste so good that people can't stop eating them.
“The rib pot is here”
This time, Mrs. Ming had a purple clay pot, which was very delicate. She had not opened it to preserve the flavor, but from the slight trembling of the lid, the aroma that penetrated into the bone marrow was already irresistible.
As the dishes were brought out one after another, even Zhan Yiyang, who had eaten a lot of delicious food, started to swallow his saliva.
There is really no way not to swallow your saliva. It can be said that Xu Rongrong put her more than thirty years of cooking skills to full use today. Not only did she complete six dishes in thirty minutes, but they were all so delicious that you will swallow your tongue.
At this time, Xu Rongrong happened to come down from upstairs. She immediately saw the direct gazes of the father and son, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The greatest affirmation for every chef is that he cannot put down this dish.
It can be said that the expressions of Zhan Yiyang, father and son made Xu Rongrong's self-confidence inflate and made her happy beyond measure.
"I'm here, I'm here. Seeing that you are looking forward to it, let's start dinner." Xu Rongrong smiled and sat next to Zhan Yiyang, while looking at Zhan Yiyang and his son tenderly.
"Mom, let's eat together." Zhan Bai had the best look in his eyes. When he saw everyone picking up chopsticks, only Xu Rongrong didn't pick up chopsticks, he whispered to her beside him.
Xu Rongrong smiled tenderly at him, stood up instead of holding chopsticks, and opened the lid of the purple clay pot.
The strong aroma of bones, accompanied by the aroma of meat, wafts through the entire restaurant.
Zhan Baiyi took a deep breath first and felt his whole body float up, "It smells so good."
Xu Rongrong saw that he was so greedy, so he gave him a piece of ribs, "Everyone is ready to eat, Bai Yi will try the ribs made by his mother."
"Thank you, mom." Zhan Bai only had time to say this before he lowered his head and ate the ribs.
Xu Rongrong laughed.
At this time, she sensitively noticed the lowering air pressure around her, and she couldn't help but suddenly realized that she took two pieces of ribs and gave them to Zhan Yiyang and Zhan Tianning respectively.
The low air pressure just disappeared.
Xu Rongrong lowered her head, trying not to put any smile on her face. She sat down and greeted everyone, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat."
