Originally, she and Dong Zijun wanted to thank her for setting up such a bureau. Since they didn't want to make things too formal, they planned to treat her to dinner at home.
But Nian Mu is still bringing souvenirs, which seems to be too formal.
Zhou Xiaosu saw that she had brought it over, and she was embarrassed not to accept it, so she had to take it. Looking at the bag full of souvenirs, she said: "Thank you, but this time it is us who want to thank you. Next time
Just don’t bring so many things.”
"Okay." Nian Mu smiled and saw Dong Zijun walking out of the kitchen, wearing an apron and looking like a good family man. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect Special Assistant Dong to look like this after taking off his suit.
Look."
Dong Zijun smiled and said: "Professor Nian, please stop teasing me, Xiao Su, what are you going to do with that fish?"
"Steamed fish?" Zhou Xiaosu said, and suddenly asked Nian Mu, "Professor Nian, do you like steamed fish? Or you can tell us what kind of food you like. I bought a lot of ingredients today."
"I'm not picky about what I eat, you can just make whatever you want." Nian Mu said.
"That's it, then I'll cook what I'm good at!" Zhou Xiaosu said, handing the bag to the nanny, then rolled up his sleeves, as if he was going to work in the kitchen.
Dong Zijun couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhou Xiaosu's confident look.
He knew what her cooking skills were like. If it weren't for taking better care of her two children, Zhou Xiaosu would be the kind of person who stayed away from the kitchen. Now it was to make her children eat healthier that she learned to cook.
Compared with Nian Mu's cooking skills, that is indeed far behind.
After all, Dong Zijun tasted her cooking skills when he was in the United States.
"Xiao Su, Professor Nian's cooking skills are amazing. I ate there last time in the United States, and the food tasted several times better than those in famous private restaurants in China," Dong Zijun said.
"Really? I want to give it a try too." Zhou Xiaosu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She loves food, but thinking that they are inviting Nian Mu to dinner now, it's hard to let her cook...
"Xiao Su..." Dong Zijun cleared his throat, reminding her that they were the hosts today.
"Professor Nian, I must try your craftsmanship next time I have time. Today you come and try mine first." Zhou Xiaosu said with a smile.
"Okay." Nian Mu smiled, she was very happy to be able to see this side of Zhou Xiaosu.
The more the other party behaves like this, the more it proves that she regards him as a friend.
Before Zhou Xiaosu walked into the kitchen, he told the nanny: "Make a cup of tea for Professor Nian. Professor Nian, you can sit down wherever you want. Dinner will be served later."
"Okay." Nian Mu nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down. Although she wanted to help, she was not a particularly familiar friend to Zhou Xiaosu, so she couldn't enter the kitchen at will, so she pressed down
Thoughts of helping.
The nanny made her a pot of tea and said, "Professor Nian, please have some tea."
"Thank you." Nianmu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and saw Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou walking towards her with toys.
"Aunt Nian, can you play with us?" Da Zhou invited.
Looking at several Barbie dolls and doll houses, Nian Mu nodded and said, "Okay."
In the kitchen.
Zhou Xiaosu and Dong Zijunzi are busy.
"You said the food cooked by Professor Nian is really delicious?" Zhou Xiaosu suddenly asked.
"Yes." After Dong Zijun answered, he was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he immediately explained: "The little boss wanted to eat the food cooked by Professor Nian. I was taking care of the boss in the hospital at that time, and I was lucky enough to eat it."
Zhou Xiaosu did not misunderstand what he meant. After all, she still believed in him.
Nodding, she said: "Did you tell Ruan Bai about your boss's hospitalization later?"
"I guess not. I was very busy during those few days in the United States. We didn't go back to the hotel very much. We spent almost 24 hours a day in the office." Dong Zijun said that he rarely saw Mu Mu during working hours.
Shaoling would do personal things, let alone contact Ruan Bai.
"Is that so, then Ruan Bai doesn't know yet?" Zhou Xiaosu recalled her vague hint last time, but received an impatient reply from Ruan Bai, and cut the fish with more force.
"Do you still want to tell her?" Dong Zijun shook his head and took the kitchen knife from her hand to prevent her from cutting it if she couldn't control her emotions later.
"No." Zhou Xiaosu took the initiative to wash the vegetables and replied to him, "Now I think it's good to be a professor, and she is Da Zhou's savior. You are also colleagues after all. I shouldn't cause trouble for her."
"It's good if you understand." Dong Zijun said with a smile. Over this period of time, his impression of Nian Mu has changed. He always felt that she was not the kind of woman who deliberately approached Mu Shaoling for money and status.
On the contrary, sometimes, he will feel rejected by the other party.
"By the way, can you confirm that your boss will come?" Zhou Xiaosu said. The idea of inviting Mu Shaoling was not hers, and of course, it was not Dong Zijun's.
Dong Zijun said that when he discussed with her about inviting Nian Mu, Mu Shaoling happened to be around, and he offered to come to dinner as well.
Dong Zijun is a subordinate, so naturally he has no way to refuse.
"I've confirmed it. It will arrive soon," Dong Zijun said.
Zhou Xiaosu put the washed dishes aside and listened to the children's laughter in the living room. Occasionally, they would say "Nian Auntie". I guess Nian Mu was having a great time playing with Big Zhou and Xiao Zhou.
She said: "I don't know why your boss is joining in the fun. Professor Nian will be surprised to see him coming later, right?"
Dong Zijun shook his head, put the killed fish on the plate, and suddenly said: "Do you feel that Professor Nian is familiar to you?"
"No." Zhou Xiaosu shook his head and said, "I have known her not long ago, and I don't think she is very familiar to her."
"I sometimes feel that Professor Nian gives me a very familiar feeling, as if I have known her for many years, but it may be an illusion. She has been in Russia before, so how could I possibly know her?" Dong Zijun said.
Zhou Xiaosu frowned, suddenly thinking of Nian Mu's familiarity, and felt that her behavior was actually a bit strange.
After all, as far as she was concerned, they could not be said to have a close friendship, but she arranged for her younger brother to protect the three of them, mother and daughter.
"By the way, do you know Professor Nian's younger brother? She has an Eastern face, how can she have a Western-faced brother?" Zhou Xiaosu couldn't help but gossip with Dong Zijun.
Dong Zijun gave her the fish and explained: "It is said that it is a family reorganization. Her biological mother married a foreign man, so she has a younger brother with a Western face. The fish is ready, and I will leave it to you."
