Although Yang Xiaoxi might be a little willful at ordinary times, the little girl behaved very well in front of her grandparents today.
While her parents were washing dishes in the kitchen, the little girl sat in the living room chatting with her grandparents.
Then she took out the cake she brought back from Mr. Feng and shared it with her grandparents.
Grandpa Yang Huaicheng was very happy, especially when his little granddaughter used a small fork to scoop out a large piece of cake and put it to his mouth.
After eating the cake, Yang Huaicheng said happily: "Our Xixi is so well behaved. Mm, this cake is so delicious."
Encouraged by his grandfather, Yang Xiaoxi scooped up another piece of cake and handed it to his grandmother.
Naturally, Wen Hong couldn't help herself in the face of such an intimate behavior from her granddaughter, so she opened her mouth and ate it as well.
After taking a bite, Wen Hong found that the cake given by her granddaughter was really delicious.
The cake is divided into several layers, and you almost don’t need to chew it when you put it into your mouth. The soft cake quickly melts in your mouth with the nourishment of saliva.
After taking a bite of the cake, Wen Hong was also a little surprised: "Xixi, where did you buy this cake? It's so delicious."
Yang Xiaoxi smiled and answered her grandmother: "This is not bought, this is made by Father Feng."
When Wen Hong heard the name "Dad Feng", she was obviously unhappy again.
However, his wife noticed it in time and quickly changed the subject.
"Xixi, your father Feng seems to be very powerful. What does he do?"
Yang Xiaoxi didn't notice the change in her grandmother's expression. When she heard her grandfather's question, she said cheerfully, "Father Feng is Ruoruo's father. He is a great chef and his dishes are delicious. Father Feng also makes a lot of snacks, which are all very delicious."
Speaking of this, Yang Xiaoxi remembered that Father Feng asked her to help greet her grandparents.
"Oh, by the way, Grandpa and Grandma, Father Feng asked me to say hello to you. Father Feng and Feng Ruoruo would like to say hello to you and welcome you to their restaurant."
Wenhong was even more dissatisfied when she heard that he was a cook and was so intimate with her granddaughter and called him "Dad Feng".
In her opinion, as a person who cares about her reputation, her son and daughter-in-law are both educated people, so how could she let her granddaughter recognize a cook as her "godfather"
Yang Huaicheng did not have that kind of prejudice. After listening to his granddaughter's words, he was quite curious about "Dad Feng".
So grandpa continued to ask: "So Xixi's father Feng runs a restaurant? Where is the restaurant? Can grandma and I go with Xixi tomorrow?"
Yang Xiaoxi was even happier when she heard her grandfather say this: "Okay, Grandpa and Grandma, you can go together. Father Feng's cooking is delicious, you will definitely like it."
Wen Hong heard her little granddaughter say "Dad Feng's cooking is delicious", which made her feel even more dissatisfied.
She thought to herself, isn't this just a disguised way of saying that her cooking is bad
The more Wen Hong thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Wen Hong finally couldn't help but say, "Xixi, you should eat less food from restaurants outside. Many of them are unhygienic and unhealthy. They put a lot of oil, salt, and sugar. Although they taste good, they are unhealthy. It's best not to eat them."
Yang Xiaoxi felt that she didn't quite understand what her grandmother said, but her grandmother told her not to go eat so that the little girl could understand.
"Grandma, no, Father Feng cooks for us, and they are all specially made."
At this point, Yang Xiaoxi continued, "Dad Feng is very good. He used to be a chef abroad and he was on TV. He was on my mom's show and cooked for a lot of people. A lot of people like Dad Feng very much and they even go to Ruoruo's restaurant to eat."
Wen Hong was very dissatisfied with her granddaughter arguing with her, and her brows were furrowed.
Yang Huaicheng was even more curious. From what his little granddaughter said, this "Dad Feng" seemed to be really powerful.
Just at this moment, Yang Zhiyi and Li Feier came out of the kitchen.
Li Feier had heard what her mother-in-law had just said, and seeing that her mother-in-law looked unhappy, she was worried that her mother-in-law would be angry with her daughter, so she hurried over to help her daughter explain further.
"Mom and Dad, the father Feng that Xixi mentioned is called 'Feng Yifan'. He is a very good chef, and the restaurant he works for is also a time-honored brand with a history of more than 100 years, so there is no need to worry about hygiene issues. Moreover, the previous chef of the restaurant was once the head chef of a state banquet."
Yang Zhiyi also quickly helped his wife and said, "Yes, Mom and Dad, they are very good. They can easily prepare authentic state banquet dishes."
Hearing that he was the apprentice of the state banquet chef, Wen Hong's frown immediately relaxed.
It seems that it is a great honor for his granddaughter to be able to eat the dishes prepared by the apprentice of the state banquet chef.
Yang Huaicheng was even more surprised: "Really? So amazing? What's the name of the restaurant?"
Yang Zhiyi quickly answered his father: "It's called 'Su Ji'."
My father suddenly understood: "Oh, Su Ji, I know that. Before I came here, we also watched Fei'er's program and saw the introduction of Su Ji on the program. It seems that he is really amazing, a real state banquet master."
Li Feier continued, "That's right, Dad. Feng Yifan has studied abroad and is very knowledgeable about nutritional combinations. Every time he cooks for the children, he pays attention to nutritional balance. Unlike traditional dishes, he doesn't use a lot of oil or salt. He pays great attention to the health of the children."
With her parents helping her, Yang Xiaoxi naturally felt more confident and continued to introduce things to her grandparents.
"Grandpa and grandma, Daddy Feng's dishes are so beautiful. Every time, Ruoruo, Feifei and I eat so much. The dishes are not only delicious, but also very beautiful. You must go and try them."
At the request of their granddaughter, the grandparents nodded and agreed.
Then everyone sat together and chatted for a while, but the topic gradually turned to having children.
Wen Hong sighed and said, "Zhiyi, last week your father and I went to your uncle Fang's grandson's full moon banquet. Their little grandson is so chubby and cute."
These words were said very bluntly, causing Li Feier's expression to gradually turn bad.
Yang Zhiyi quickly reached out and held his wife's hand, patting it gently to comfort her.
Of course, Yang Xiaoxi didn't quite understand what her grandma said. She continued eating her own cake, and had to eat Father Feng's cake slowly, bit by bit.
Yang Zhiyi smiled and said, "Mom, children are fun when they are young, and I think our Xixi is still very cute. Look at her sitting there, eating obediently. Don't you think that little girls are really good?"
Wen Hong's expression turned a little serious after hearing what her son said.
"I didn't say girls are bad. You know your father and I are not the kind of people who favor boys over girls. We just think that you and Fei'er are still young and you can have another child now. How lonely will a child be at home in the future?"
Yang Zhiyi continued, "How could that be? Doesn't Xixi have Fei'er and I accompanying her?"
Without waiting for her mother to speak, she continued, "Besides, Xixi has a lot of friends in the kindergarten."
When Yang Xiaoxi heard what her father said, she immediately said, "Yes, grandpa and grandma, there are many children in our kindergarten. Ruoruo, Feifei and I are the best. The three of us play together. We like to go to Ruoruo's house together. We can pass the menu with Ruoruo, watch Father Feng cook, and eat Father Feng's snacks."
When Wen Hong heard her granddaughter mention "Dad Feng" again, her face turned grim again.
However, Wenhong did not get angry and continued to persuade her earnestly.
"Although there is a kindergarten and other children playing with Xixi, when I return home, Xixi is the only child there and it still seems a bit lonely."
At this point, Wen Hong looked at her son and said, "Zhiyi, your parents didn't have the conditions, so they only gave birth to you. Didn't you often feel lonely at home during your childhood? You know all these very well, so do you want to let your daughter go through them again?"
Wen Hong's presentation of facts and reasoning made Yang Zhiyi unable to refute for a moment.
But at this time Yang Xiaoxi said: "Grandma, I'm home. Ruoruo and Feifei are not here, but my parents are here, and my grandparents are here to see me. I feel very happy."
Wen Hong immediately pulled her granddaughter over and asked softly, "What if Xixi had a younger brother?"
Yang Xiaoxi turned her head to look at her grandmother, not quite understanding what she meant.
But the little girl thought about it seriously and said, "Grandma, why do you need a younger brother? Xixi thinks it's good to have a father and a mother at home."
Wen Hong's face became even uglier. Yang Huaicheng said in time, "Okay, okay, it's quite late today. Fei'er still has to go to work tomorrow, and Xixi also has to go to kindergarten. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow. Go and have a rest first. We will go to that Su Ji restaurant for a meal together tomorrow."
In the end, although Wen Hong was not very happy, she was still pulled back to the room by her husband.
Seeing her parents-in-law enter the room, Li Feier was really relieved. Then she looked at her husband with a helpless look on her face.
Yang Zhiyi also smiled bitterly, feeling that it would be difficult to convince his parents, especially his mother.
Yang Xiaoxi was suddenly very happy at this time. She hugged her mother and father and said, "Mom and Dad, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Li Feier smiled and kissed her daughter: "Of course you can, Mommy will sleep with Xixi tonight."
Yang Xiaoxi was naturally very happy. The family of three happily packed up their things and returned to the bedroom.
The cheerful atmosphere of the family of three on one side contrasts sharply with the serious atmosphere of the old couple on the other side.
Even in the next room, the old couple had a little quarrel, and their voices were getting louder and louder. In the end, Grandpa Yang Xiaoxi took the initiative to give in and asked Grandma to lower her voice.
After Li Feier held her daughter and coaxed her to sleep, she still couldn't fall asleep at all and stared at her husband in the dark.
Yang Zhiyi leaned close to his wife's ear and whispered to her, "I'm sorry, I made you feel wronged today."
Li Feier responded to her husband: "No, I just think that it's not a good idea to keep going like this. How about I take a break next year? Then we..."
Without letting his wife finish her words, Yang Zhiyi said very seriously: "No, there are some things that cannot be compromised."
After hearing what her husband said, Li Feier suddenly felt that her husband was really responsible.
Maybe Yang Zhiyi is always a joker who likes to have fun, but when it comes to matters of principle, he is always very serious.
Regarding the issue of having children, Yang Zhiyi was firmly opposed to it.
He didn't want his wife to become a tool for giving birth to children, and she shouldn't just obey her parents and give birth to children.
Moreover, in Yang Zhiyi's heart, he felt that giving birth would cause great harm to his wife's body. He already had a daughter, and he didn't want his wife to suffer that pain again.
Yang Zhiyi left his parents early and worked outside alone for many years.
I look down on my parents who always like to compare themselves with others, and I don't like the way they care about face.
So Yang Zhiyi knew very well that his parents did not necessarily want to have another grandson.
To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of face between neighbors.
His attitude was also very firm: he would never let his wife have a baby.
Li Feier understood her husband's thoughts, so she put her arms around him and said, "It's really hard for you to keep going like this with your parents. I love you, husband."
Yang Zhiyi smiled and kissed his wife and said, "I love you, too. It is because I love you that I will not let you suffer any more."
At this point, he looked down at his daughter and continued, "Besides, we have such a wonderful daughter, we don't need to have another child."
Li Feier was very happy with her husband's words, and the two of them fell asleep together, hugging their daughter.
In the morning, although she was dissatisfied with her son and daughter-in-law's decision on having children, Grandma Yang Xiaoxi still got up early and made breakfast.
When her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter got up, the old lady invited them to sit down and have breakfast together.
Seeing the breakfast made by her grandma, Yang Xiaoxi thought it was very good.
"Grandma, Dad didn't make breakfast for me in the morning before. He just let me drink milk and eat the cookies that Daddy Feng made for me."
Grandma immediately said, "How can it be nutritious? Your father is just lazy. He doesn't know how to get up early to make breakfast for you. The nutrition of breakfast is also very important."
At this point, grandma turned to mom and said, "Fei'er, you should learn these things too. Didn't you interview a lot of chefs on your show? In fact, you can learn from them, just like Xixi's father Feng. You can learn from them and cook for Xixi."
For a moment, Li Feier didn't know how to respond to this.
Instead, Yang Zhiyi said, "Mom, Fei'er is so busy, how can she have time to learn those things? I'm just writing manuscripts at home anyway, I do the same thing."
The mother was naturally unhappy when she heard her son say this: "Women can't just think about their careers."
Hearing this, Yang Huaicheng quickly said, "Okay, okay, have a good breakfast. After breakfast, we will send Xixi to kindergarten together."
After Grandpa Yang Xiaoxi said this, the atmosphere in the morning became a little silent, and everyone just lowered their heads to eat breakfast.
