He Yuzhu saw that Lou Xiao'e was clearly trying to prevent him from getting off the stage. Fortunately, he was prepared.
"Hello, aunt, my name is He Yuzhu. It's my first time to visit your home. I didn't know what your home was missing, so I had to find a way to get a better-looking gift."
After saying that, he took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from his pocket.
This gift added a little more affection to Lou's mother's politeness. Comparing one person with another will lead to death, and comparing goods with others will lead to throwing away.
When Xu Damao came to her house for the first time, he was empty-handed. He enjoyed a delicious meal and went back with something when he left.
He Yuzhu is different. Although he is cooking for his daughter out of kindness, he still comes to the door with gifts.
"He Yuzhu, this name is really nice."
"Auntie, you're welcome. It's just a title. Just call me Zhuzhu."
"Okay, okay! Why are you so polite when you come to your aunt's house?
Xiao'e, take Zhuzi around the room and take a look. Mom will cook, and we'll have dinner later."
Although He Yuzhu has decided to prepare today's meal, he still needs to be polite.
He Yuzhu also knew that there was just a process: "Auntie, please stop working today. I'll do it. I'm here today to cook for Ezi."
Lou Xiao'e also said coquettishly next to her: "Yes, Mom, please stop working today and let the pillars be trimmed."
As he said this, he pulled Lou's mother to sit on the sofa.
Then come over and tell He Yuzhu where the kitchen is.
He Yuzhu came to the kitchen and took a look. It was clean and bright!
Various condiment bottles are arranged neatly and neatly, and there are also many foreign bottles.
I looked at the ingredients at home, including potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, eggs, kelp, asparagus, and a lot of pork. Unfortunately, there were few fish, and the pickled fish was gone.
After starting to process the ingredients, Lou Xiao'e walked in with an unhappy look on her face not long after.
He Yuzhu could also hear the conversation between their mother and daughter here, and knowingly asked, "What are you doing here?"
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "My mother asked me to help you because I'm afraid you won't be able to use the things at home."
"Hey! I can use the few things you have at home better than you with my eyes closed."
"Silly Zhu! What do you mean? Who are you looking down on? I, Lou Xiao'e, can go out into the hall and into the kitchen."
"Then you do it?!"
When Lou Xiao'e heard this, her aura weakened obviously: "Not today, you are the one who wants to cook for me, not me.
Do it quickly, do you need my help?"
Looking at this guy, He Yuzhu would probably be driven over by her mother again when she went back, so she might as well stay here and chat with him.
"Can you chop vegetables?"
"Who doesn't know how to do this?"
"Then cut this potato into shreds."
He Yuzhu placed the peeled potatoes in Lou Xiao'e's hands.
Lou Xiao'e picked up the knife and started her masterpiece bit by bit, step by step.
He Yuzhu had a headache from looking at it.
"Cut it into shreds, not into pieces."
"Just wait a moment! Cut it into pieces first, then cut it into shreds later."
"Come on!" He snatched the kitchen knife from Lou Xiao'e's hand. Watching her cook was like torture to him.
He added: "Your family really loves you and doesn't even let you learn how to chop vegetables."
"Ding! Negative emotion value +2."
Lou Xiao'e said disdainfully: "My skills are not in the kitchen."
He Yuzhu teased: "If it's not in the kitchen, then where is it? On the bed?"
"Ding! Negative emotion value +1."
"Silly Zhu! You are really going too far. I won't help you anymore. Humph! You are exhausted."
After saying that, he angrily stepped on the floor and left the kitchen.
Seeing Lou Xiao'e come back angrily, Lou's mother also joked: "You and Zhu Zhu are really like a young couple. They are noisy all day long. Do you think the child in your belly should..."
Hearing this, He Yuzhu almost lost his grip on the knife in his hand.
Lou Xiao'e's words later made He Yuzhu's mentality explode.
Lou Xiao'e's face turned red from embarrassment and said: "Oh, Mom, what are you talking about? If it's really a pillar, that would be great. I think it would make Xu Damao angry to death."
Lou's mother was a little displeased: "Didn't I tell you that he is not allowed to be mentioned in our family from now on? I was not satisfied with him from the beginning. Seeing him look like a villain gave me a headache."
"Not satisfied, you still asked me to marry him."
"Is it your mother and I who make the decision in our family? It's your father's idea. Your father is so confused."
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful voice came in.
"Who said I'm old and confused?"
When Lou Xiao'e saw her father coming back, she ran over and hugged her father's arm in a well-behaved manner.
"Dad, you are not old at all, how can you be confused?"
Mother Lou grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said expressionlessly: "Whoever is confused knows."
Father Lou knew that marrying his daughter to a villain like Xu Damao was indeed a major mistake on his part, so he did not quarrel with Mother Lou, but said:
"Why does it smell so good? Could it be that Mother Zhao is back?"
Lou Xiao'e looked at her father, a straight man, speechlessly, and quickly added: "Dad! It can't be that mom's skills have improved."
These words made Lou's mother, who was already darkened, even darker.
"So, you think the food I cook is terrible. From now on, our family will cook and eat it ourselves."
The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, with helpless expressions on their faces.
Just then, a voice came from the kitchen.
"Ezi, where do you put your candy?"
"It's in the cabinet above."
"That cabinet?"
"Why are you so stupid? Let me find it for you."
Lou Xiao'e let go of her father, turned around and walked quickly to the kitchen.
Lou's father looked surprised, turned his attention to Lou's mother, and gestured: "What is going on?"
Lou's mother cracked the melon seeds and said, "Ezi said he was his neighbor and met him today. He asked him to come and cook at home."
Seeing Lou's father's disbelief, Lou's mother also became interested: "Xiao'e's father, do you believe the child said he is her neighbor?
How could a neighbor come to the house to help with cooking? Judging from my investigative experience, there is something fishy going on here.
Maybe the child in this belly is his."
Father Lou quickly interrupted her: "Don't read those detective novels to me in the future. You're really good at guessing."
Having said that, my heart was like a scratching kitten, thinking about the relationship between Lou Xiao'e and her.
Nearly an hour later, the table was filled with dishes.
Stir-fried tofu with tomatoes, stir-fried celery, stir-fried eggs with zucchini, stir-fried lean meat with asparagus, stir-fried kelp, and potatoes soaked in vinegar.
Just looking at it makes you want to eat it, and the smell makes you want to stop eating it.
The four of them sat down, and Father Lou asked about He Yuzhu's conditions, living habits, family size, whether he was married, etc.
Lou's mother asked round the corner about the relationship between Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu, and mentioned the child in Lou Xiao'e's belly many times.
Seeing He Yuzhu not looking jealous at all confirmed her suspicion.
Both the guests and the host enjoyed the meal, and He Yuzhu also drank some foreign wine with Lou's father.
After He Yuzhu left and Lou Xiao'e went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Lou's mother couldn't help but say:
"I said there must be something fishy between the two of them. Don't look at the big and thick pillars. She is very careful and is afraid that Xiao'e will be disgusted. She specially uses vegetable oil to cook the dishes. Which of these dishes is not what Xiao'e likes to eat.
Normally, when Zhao Ma cooks, Xiao'e can eat as much as she wants!"
Lou's father was also persuaded by Lou's mother and wanted to check He Yuzhu's background.
He happened to own shares in the steel rolling mill and knew Director Yang, so he called Director Yang directly.
"Hey! Lao Yang, is there someone named He Yuzhu in your factory?"
"Old Lou, why are you asking about him? He has offended you."
"No, no, I had a meal cooked by this kid today. The cooking is really good."
Although Factory Director Yang didn't know how Lou's father ate the food cooked by He Yuzhu, he didn't ask in detail.
"Then you are really good at reading people. The big boss above even called me today and asked Zhuzi to cook another meal."
