"Let's go eat." Xu Rongrong smiled and dragged Wen Shanshan all the way to the restaurant. He personally pressed her on the seat, then sat next to her and started eating.
It didn't take too long to cook today, but because the time was allocated properly, every dish was delicious and exquisite.
The others were either already familiar with each other, or were close to each other, and no one took the food politely. Wen Shanshan was the only one who awkwardly took a chopstick of the mushroom stewed chicken in front of her, and then chewed it carefully.
"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills have improved a lot recently. It tastes so good." Zhan Yilin happily ate while not forgetting to praise Xu Rongrong, the master of cooking.
Xu Rongrong looked at her with an angry smile, "You, there are so many dishes that can't stop your mouth, so hurry up and eat yours."
After saying that, he placed a large piece of braised pork on the plate in front of Zhan Yilin.
The braised pork is red and beautiful. It has been stewed in the purple clay pot for a long time, so it is slightly rotten and difficult to hold. But this kind of braised pork is the real braised pork that melts in your mouth.
Zhan Yilin immediately took a bite, and the soft braised pork melted in her mouth, turning into a thick fragrant juice without even using her tongue to bite it.
"Oh, it's so delicious." Zhan Yilin put the whole piece of braised pork into her mouth and praised it while glancing at Wen Shanshan who was eating silently.
When Xu Rongrong looked up, she happened to see Zhan Yilin's demonstrative gaze. She couldn't help but be startled and glanced at Wen Shanshan beside her.
Contrary to Zhan Yilin's happy meal, Wen Shanshan just sat there quietly from beginning to end, eating her meal quietly.
Looking at her plate again, there were some bland vegetables without even a single piece of meat.
Such Wen Shanshan made Xu Rongrong feel a little distressed for no reason. She turned her head, picked out a piece of hairtail and put it on Wen Shanshan's plate.
The latter raised his head in surprise and saw Xu Rongrong's concerned eyes, "Shanshan, this fish will not put a burden on the body, you can eat more. It seems that we have eaten in the company cafeteria for a long time, but you haven't eaten it yet
Where's my food? That little girl Zhong Qiqi always says that the food in the cafeteria is delicious. Today I want you to try it and find out which one is better cooked by me or by the chef in the cafeteria."
After saying that, she looked at Wen Shanshan with a smile, and there was some expectation in her eyes.
Wen Shanshan lowered her head in a daze, looking at the piece of braised hairtail with an attractive color, and felt a little moved in her heart.
"Yes." Wen Shanshan smiled and nodded. She didn't particularly like talking women, so she lowered her head and tasted it carefully.
Last time, when she was in the company cafeteria, Wen Shanshan also tasted the braised hairtail made by the company's chef. Now when she tastes Xu Rongrong's hairtail, Wen Shanshan can only sigh that it does not belong to the cafeteria chef.
"Your cooking skills are almost as good as those of five-star chefs." Wen Shanshan put down her chopsticks and looked at Xu Rongrong seriously.
"I knew a long time ago that I am almost as good as a five-star chef." I originally thought that Xu Rongrong would say thank you seriously, but who knew that she would actually make a joke like this.
Wen Shanshan also smiled knowingly. The slight embarrassment originally felt had disappeared, but instead there were some jumping molecules in the air.
Xu Rongrong turned his head and looked at the three children who were eating silently with their heads down. Thinking that today was the day to give the three children a good refreshment, he took three pieces of braised pork and put them in Bai Yining and A Nuan's bowls respectively.
.
Bai Yi smiled warmly at Xu Rongrong, while Tianning pursed her lips and said nothing. As for A Nuan, her mouth was much sweeter, "Thank you, mom, A Nuan loves mom the most."
"Ah Nuan, be good." Xu Rongrong looked at this youngest daughter with a smile, and felt that after only five days apart, her facial features seemed to have changed a bit.
"A Nuan seems to have grown up." She has also become more beautiful.
"Really? Mom, A-Nuan also feels that she has grown up." A-Nuan is a smart little girl. When Xu Rongrong praised her, she blinked at Xu Rongrong happily, as if she was very happy that her mother praised her like this.
"Well, yes, our little Nuan is growing up and becoming more and more beautiful. When she grows into a twenty-year-old girl, she will definitely be more beautiful than Aunt Shanshan." Xu Rongrong said with a smile.
Ah Nuan took it seriously. From the first time she saw Wen Shanshan, she felt that this aunt was very beautiful. Now her mother praises herself as even more beautiful than her aunt when she grows up. Isn't that...
Ah Nuan lowered her head shyly and whispered, "Mom, don't be like this. Ah Nuan has never seen anyone more beautiful than Aunt Shanshan."
Xu Rongrong was amused by the little girl's expression, "When An Nuan grows up, you will see her own face."
Ah Nuan was even more embarrassed and buried her head in the rice bowl, pretending to be cooking.
Xu Rongrong was laughing there, and even Zhan Yiyang, who usually liked to have a cold face, also laughed, and Zhan Yilin was laughing so hard, "Little girl, you want to be beautiful, you want to go crazy, they say that those who were beautiful when they were young will turn ugly when they grow up.
, do you think you are beautiful now?"
Ah Nuan, "..." She looked at her aunt who was smiling evilly, her eyes widened and she was speechless.
According to Aunt Yilin, if you say you are beautiful now, it means you will be ugly when you grow up.
If you want to be beautiful in the future, you have to be ugly now.
Oh, it’s so difficult.
All little girls love to be beautiful. The term "women love beauty" applies to women as young as eighty or eight years old. Little A Nuan is no exception. When she lived with her grandfather in the mountains, she knew how to use it.
The stream washes me cleanly. Even if my clothes are ugly and torn in many places, they still need to be clean.
So, now she is completely in trouble.
Although Ah Nuan has a smart mind, she is still a child after all. Seeing her embarrassed and frowning face, Xu Rongrong held back her laughter.
About a minute later, just when Xu Rongrong couldn't bear it anymore and was about to change the topic, Ah Nuan suddenly looked at Zhan Yilin with excited eyes.
"Auntie, you only said that girls who were beautiful when they were young will become very ugly in the future. However, if they were ugly when they were young, they may not be beautiful when they grow up. So Auntie, A Nuan is beautiful now, but what about the future?
We'll talk about it later. Anyway, An Nuan doesn't know what she will look like in the future." The little child's voice still sounded milky, but after analyzing the matter, it became clear, Zhan Yilin said
They were all speechless.
"What a girl, you are so articulate." Everyone listened to An Nuan's argument in stunned silence. At the end, Zhan Yilin raised her finger to express her admiration for the little girl.
Ah Nuan was not polite to her, she just smiled and said, "Thank you, aunt, for the compliment. Ah Nuan will grow more and more beautiful in the future, and Aunt Yilin will also grow and become more beautiful,"
"You little girl." Zhan Yilin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was already in her thirties, and her face had already been shaped. How could she be more beautiful as she grew older? She was getting uglier as she got older, but she was pretty much the same.
However, even if what she told was not the truth, it always made people feel comfortable and happy. So Zhan Yilin could only give her a helpless look, then gave her a chopstick of her favorite dish, "Eat you
It’s your favorite dish.”
"Thank you, Aunt Yilin." Ah Nuan said with a smile, and then she bowed her head obediently and ate the vegetables.
At this time, Xu Rongrong, who had been staring at A Nuan for a long time, suddenly shook his head and said to Wen Shanshan with a smile, "I just said that A Nuan can be prettier than you. I just paid attention and felt that this child looks similar to you."
It’s really quite similar.”
"Oh? Really?" Wen Shanshan's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and took a closer look at Ah Nuan's features. There was indeed some similarity.
But there are so many similar people in the world. That child might have died in the deep mountains and forests long ago. How could he appear here?
Shaking her head and smiling bitterly, Wen Shanshan lowered her head, feeling quite depressed.
Xu Rongrong was sensitive to her depressed mood, and then quietly asked her with his eyes,
But Wen Shanshan shook her head silently, and then reluctantly raised the corners of her mouth to show her a smile, proving that she was fine.
Xu Rongrong knew her character and didn't push her. Instead, he gave her enough space. He didn't bother her anymore except after picking up some food for her.
Time passed little by little, and everyone's sumptuous dinner came to an end.
Looking at the empty plate, Xu Rongrong shook her head helplessly. Even though she cooked so many dishes, she always ate them cleanly. Alas, they were all a bunch of foodies.
Zhan Yiyang has been full for a long time, and he has been sitting quietly next to him for a long time.
Xu Rongrong felt sorry for him, so she couldn't help but rush him to rest, "Yiyang, you haven't had a good rest in the past two days. You should go to rest early today so that you can continue to deal with the company's affairs tomorrow."
"It's okay." Zhan Yiyang smiled faintly at her. Although he looked fine, there was still a little bit of fatigue in the corners of his eyes and brows.
"She said it's okay. Go and have a rest. It's getting dark. I'll pack up and go give you a massage." Under Xu Rongrong's push, Zhan Yiyang reluctantly prepared to go upstairs.
But at this time, An Nuan jumped up behind Zhan Yiyang.
"Dad will be celebrating A-Nuan's birthday in a few days. Can A-Nuan go to grandpa's place with mom?" The little child stood next to the tall Zhan Yiyang. The height comparison made people laugh a little, but A-Nuan
What Nuan said made people laugh.
"Okay, you go with your aunt and the others then. Dad won't accompany you because his company has something to deal with, but he will definitely prepare a gift for you, okay." Zhan Yiyang knelt down and gently stroked A Nuan's head.
, asked softly.
"Well, thank you, Dad. Dad, please go and rest quickly." A Nuan looked at Zhan Yiyang with a smile.
Zhan Yiyang smiled at her and returned to the room.
As for An Nuan, she took Bai Yi and Tianning back to their room to study.
Zhan Yilin went out for a walk. Sister-in-law Ming helped Xu Rongrong clear the table. Only Wen Shanshan stood there blankly, with the words "It's my birthday in a few days" echoing in her ears.
