Asaba Rika's little hand dug around in Shen Yu's pocket but couldn't find the key to open the door. Instead, she took out his car key.
"No... I'll dig it out again!"
Lixiang was eager to give it a try and planned to dig inside again. She didn't believe she couldn't find the key to the new world.
"Okay, okay! Stop!"
Shen Yu finally couldn't hold it in anymore. If the girl's little hands were allowed to dig around in her trouser pockets, big trouble would happen.
"It should be in the right pocket..."
"Ah, then I'll take the right one..."
"You don't have to pay!"
Shen Yu put down his things smoothly and took out the key to open the door from his right trouser pocket.
"...So Mr. Shen Yu did it on purpose! What a pervert!"
"Don't talk nonsense, you are the pervert."
Giving Li Xiang the key, she opened the door. Shen Yu followed her into the house carrying large and small bags.
Zhang Xiaoru was busy in the kitchen, and Shen Deyou was tinkering with the pot of happiness tree next to the TV with scissors. There were some festive red pendants next to the cabinet, which he planned to hang up later. When he heard the sound of opening the door, he turned around and glanced back. Then he saw Li Xiang, and his face immediately became happy.
"Rika is back!"
"Hello, uncle!"
"Hey, okay, why do you bring so many things? We have them at home. Why don't you just pack a few clothes and put them on the table... Shen Yu! Pack your things!"
Chen Yu always felt as if he had followed his girlfriend back to her home, and his parents had become her parents.
Zhang Xiaoru, who was busy in the kitchen, also heard the sound and came out. His eyes fell on the necklace around Li Xiang's neck very accurately, and he laughed so hard that crow's feet appeared.
"Hello, aunt!"
"Lixiang, come here and let Auntie take a closer look..."
Li Xiang stood obediently in front of her. Zhang Xiaoru looked at the necklace around her neck with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It's beautiful, it's so beautiful. This necklace needs to be worn by you, my daughter, to look good. It's like a white swan."
"Thank you, Auntie, Rika also likes this necklace!"
"As long as you like it, it doesn't look good on any other girl except you, don't you think so?"
"Uh? Oh... yes, yes."
Seeing my parents looking so happy, no matter how stupid I am, I understand what this gift means.
Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru were chatting enthusiastically with Li Xiang, talking about the recent weather, what they were doing recently, or they didn't need to ask Shen Yu and asked Li Xiang directly about the current situation of their company.
I don’t know where she got such magic power to make her parents like her so much.
Chen Yu returned to the room with his luggage. Zhang Xiaoru had sharp eyes and called him from a distance: "Where are you going? Your room is for Li Xiang to sleep in!"
"It's okay..." Lixiang waved her hands and said in her heart, in fact, I can also sleep with Chen Yujun. It's not the first time to sleep together.
"I...I put her luggage in."
As Chen Yu said that, he put Li Xiang's luggage in, then took his own luggage and went to the guest room to pack it up.
When he came out, Li Xiang trotted over and took Shen Yu's arm in front of Zhang Xiaoru and Shen Deyou.
Zhang Xiaoru and Shen Deyou were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes curled up with joy.
The gazes of her parents made Shen Yu scream and feel a little overwhelmed with embarrassment. She wanted to take her arms out. Li Xiang was still hugging her tightly. It was obvious that she was blushing with embarrassment, but she still remained He hugged me so boldly.
"Uncle and aunt, Shen Yujun and I will cook for you tonight, and you can rest here."
"How can this be done... Li Xiang sits and watches TV. Auntie will make it soon."
"Don't worry, auntie! The year is coming to an end, and you should have a good rest. Shen Yujun is very powerful. If he helps me, the dinner we cook together will be delicious. Lixiang hasn't officially cooked for uncle and aunt yet. Eat."
"What else can he do besides peeling garlic?"
Shen Yu himself thinks so. Besides peeling garlic, peeling shallots, and cooking rice, what else can he do...
But seeing the look in Li Xiang's eyes, although she didn't say anything, Shen Yu understood the meaning and helped: "What she said is, parents, just take a rest and we will cook tonight, haha..."
"this… "
Before Zhang Xiaoru could refuse, Shen Yu had already come over to help her take off her apron, brought it to Li Xiang, and helped her put it on.
"Just wait until dinner is served."
After saying that, Shen Yu and Li Xiang entered the kitchen together.
Zhang Xiaoru suddenly felt old, but she also felt inexplicably relieved. She had been cooking at home for more than 20 years, and she never thought that her son would bring his girlfriend to cook a meal for her today.
My old mother doesn't know what kind of virtue Shen Yu is. Such a change is all because of the pear fragrance.
So I sincerely expressed my approval to this daughter-in-law as I had never done before.
The old mother finally felt relieved about her son's life after being with her. This was getting better. Not only did he have a girl to take care of him, but she also taught him to take care of others.
Zhang Xiaoru and Shen Deyou were sitting in the living room drinking tea and watching TV, but their minds were in the kitchen behind.
He squinted his ears to eavesdrop on what was going on inside, and occasionally turned his head to take a look.
"No... I still can't sit still..." Zhang Xiaoru said and was about to get up. She had never enjoyed such treatment, waiting for someone to serve her like a queen mother.
The old emperor Shen Deyou was different. He was making tea leisurely and quickly grabbed her: "What are you doing? Just let them work. Didn't you think about someone to serve you all day long? Why? In the end, you can’t sit still?”
"I'm afraid that Lixiang won't be able to find those bottles and jars. I've also washed some of the dishes, and I'm afraid that she won't be able to handle them..."
"Okay, okay, she will definitely come and ask you if she has any questions. Just drink tea in peace."
The old parents sat on the sofa and drank tea peacefully. They didn't say much, they were all listening to the goings on in the kitchen.
"Old Shen, is your tea different today? Why does it taste so much better than usual?"
"I also think today's tea tastes good..."
It is obviously a bitter-sweet tea, but the leisurely old parents drank it with a slightly sweet taste, and the corners of their mouths also evoked a happy smile.
…
Li Xiang was wearing Zhang Xiaoru's scarf, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and carefully slicing the meat.
The kitchen knife at home is heavier than the one Lixiang usually uses. She is not very fast at cutting meat and vegetables, but she cuts them very carefully, with even thickness and thickness. Slow work yields fine work.
Shen Yu watched curiously. Although she was not cutting very fast, she was definitely cutting it faster than him. If Shen Yu was the one cutting it, the meat would definitely not be cut so thin. She might have to cut it with her hands like last time. .
It was said that the two of them came to prepare dinner together, but Shen Yu couldn't find anything to do, but staying with her in the kitchen was much more comfortable than staying with her parents in the living room.
He washed the rice, put it in the pot and simmered it, then came to Lixiang and asked her: "Um... do you want to peel the garlic?"
"want!"
Lixiang looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, and some of them had already been processed by Zhang Xiaoru. The dishes cooked at home were all common Sunan home-cooked dishes. She had been here for so long and she could basically cook them.
Chen Yu happily peeled the garlic.
After peeling the garlic, he returned to her helplessly and looked at her. Shen Yu had never felt so incompetent...
The kitchen is not his battlefield, it belongs to Li Xiang, and she can do whatever she says.
"Mr. Shen Yu, please pick the green onions, oh, and the sea bass! It needs to be washed... The black layer in the belly of the fish needs to be washed away..."
"Um."
The two of them were busy in the kitchen together, Shen Yu did the basic work, and Li Xiang was responsible for the difficult work.
She is now making egg dumplings. According to the little trick Zhang Xiaoru taught her last time, brush some oil on a large spoon, add some egg liquid, and cook it over fire until the egg liquid turns into a round shape in the spoon, so that it can be made like this A beautiful golden egg skin will come out. Add fillings to the egg skin, use chopsticks to hold the egg skin and wrap it up, heat it again, seal the edges, and a delicate and beautiful egg dumpling is ready.
Shen Yu was amazed at Li Xiang's skill. He ate a lot of egg dumplings, which were included in the New Year's Eve dinner every year. He also liked eating them, but if he were asked to make them, he couldn't even tinker with the egg skin.
There wasn't much work to do, so Shen Yu prepared all the things that needed to be prepared according to Li Xiang's instructions, and then took his time to watch her prepare dinner from behind.
The pot was already hot, Li Xiang put the vegetables into the pot, and with a sizzling sound, she flipped it with a spatula, and an alluring aroma filled the kitchen.
Shen Yu could see the seriousness in her eyebrows and could feel that this girl really existed in his life, and he felt like he wanted to keep doing this for the rest of his life.
Looking at her from this angle, I always feel that she is so beautiful. Her hair is tied up to reveal her white neck, and there is a shiny thin necklace on it. Especially her waist is so thin and soft. If you hug her from behind, she will be special. Great.
"What are Mr. Shen Yu looking at..."
Probably noticing that his eyes had been on her for a long time, Rika's face turned slightly red and she turned around to ask him.
"It's nothing, I'm learning to cook from you..."
"Then should I put the cress first or the dried tofu first?"
“…”
If you chat like this, we will have nothing to talk about!
"Why did you think of cooking a meal for my parents tonight?" Shen Yu asked curiously.
"Eh?"
Lixiang cooked the vegetables seriously, "I've been thinking about it, but today I finally have the chance. Auntie always prepares dinner for us, so I want her to take a rest."
She looked back at Shen Yu's eyes and smiled: "Li Xiang is particularly grateful to Auntie, because she worked very hard to raise Shen Yujun, so I have the opportunity to be with the current Shen Yujun."
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, and was moved by a warm current in his heart. He took the initiative to walk behind Li Xiang and gently hugged her waist.
"I'm also very grateful to Uncle Qianyu and Aunt Miori..."
Shen Yu's face turned a little red. After all, he was not good at expressing emotions. But this time, he still said it forcefully: "Thank you very much for taking good care of you in the first twenty years. I... I will take good care of you in the future." your… "
"Yeah! Rika likes you so much!"
Rika leaned back slightly, with his warm embrace behind her.
Although it was not the first time that the two hugged, the previous position was facing each other, but now he hugged her from behind. When she leaned gently in his arms, her eyes could not see him, but her ears could clearly see him. He could hear his breathing.
The hot breath exhaled from his nose made her earlobes red and her pink and white neck red.
After getting tired of it for a while, Shen Yu hugged her tighter and tighter, and Li Xiang felt that her hands and legs were starting to lose strength, and she didn't even have the strength to hold a spatula...
"Okay, okay..."
Li Xiang twisted her body and whispered: "I'm going to be seen by my uncle and aunt..."
After hearing this, he began to feel a little self-conscious and depressed, and then he quickly came back to his senses and let go of the pretty girl in his arms.
Shen Yu stood there calmly for a while, thinking that Li Xiang had probably become a snail girl. Not only could she cook, but she was also so seductive. The brain that used to be so calm was becoming less and less effective, which made the twenty-year-old The masculine young man felt so uncomfortable. He had a hunch that he might not be able to help kissing her until the company opened after the new year...
Looking at Chen Yu's strange expression, Li Xiang knew that he must have been thinking about something strange just now. After all, Shen Yu's perversion was beyond her reach.
So Li Xiang looked outside the kitchen, held a spatula, and warned in a low voice: "Shen Yu, please be nice to me! Don't bully me! Otherwise, I will tell my uncle and aunt... and let them..."
"hit me?"
"No! Let uncle and aunt go to Yokohama to propose marriage!"
Chen Yu was really frightened and muttered: "Who bullied you..."
"You."
"Nonsense."
"Only Rika is allowed to bully you!"
"hehe… "
Shen Yu smiled, how could she bully him with her little demeanor? She was obviously very nice to him, "Okay, then you can bully someone and let me see."
So Li Xiang coughed hard, put down the spatula, suddenly turned around and threw herself into Shen Yu's arms, hugging him tightly, raising her little face and looking at him proudly: "Hehe, I'm here to bully you..."
"You are obviously in vain..."
Before Shen Yu could react, his mother who heard the noise in the living room came over. He immediately became nervous and wanted to pry the girl from his arms, but she was hugging her so tightly that he couldn't pry her away. .
"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble! If you are seen, you will die!"
"Are you scared?"
"Afraid… "
The moment Zhang Xiaoru walked to the kitchen door, Li Xiang let go of Shen Yu like lightning, and continued cooking with the spatula as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Xiaoru looked suspiciously at Li Xiang, who was cooking seriously, and Shen Yu, whose face was red...
"Daughter, what happened just now? Did you catch a cold?"
"It's okay, it's okay! My throat just felt a little itchy..."
"Then after dinner, Auntie will give you a jar of loquat paste. My friend made it. It's very sweet and delicious, and it also soothes your throat."
"Thank you, aunt!"
Zhang Xiaoru left, and Li Xiang snorted at Shen Yu as if to demonstrate, her eyes clearly saying, let's see if you still dare to bully me.
…
"Mr. Shen Yu, please take this dish out and I'll wash the pot."
"Um."
After a little fuss, Li Xiang concentrated on preparing dinner, and Shen Yu acted as the food delivery boy.
When he walked out of the kitchen carrying the dishes, his parents looked at him with gratified eyes and sat motionless on the sofa until he shouted: "Mom, dad, it's time to eat."
Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru then stood up happily and walked to the dining table with satisfaction.
Today’s dinner is quite sumptuous, with five dishes and one soup, including steamed sea bass, egg dumplings, stir-fried shrimps, stir-fried cress, and stir-fried pork with dried bamboo shoots. They are all home-cooked dishes. Since it’s not New Year’s Eve yet, I haven’t prepared any big dishes. Pear fragrance Not very familiar with some big dishes.
Even so, my parents are very satisfied!
She can cook, is gentle, beautiful, and well matched... Where can I find such a daughter-in-law
"Uncle and auntie, please try it. I learned it from auntie."
"Not bad, not bad. Li Xiang's craftsmanship is better than that of Auntie. Shen Yu will have a good taste in the future."
Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru felt that the food in their mouths was extremely delicious. Shen Yu looked at the expressions of his parents and had no doubt that Li Xiang had made pickles and dried radish for them. They would all say it was delicious...
At the end of the meal, there was no leftover food on the plate, and all the rice in the rice cooker was finished.
After finishing the meal, Lixiang wanted to clean up the dishes, but Zhang Xiaoru refused. She was so flustered that she had already experienced the feeling of having her daughter-in-law cook for her once, and she was afraid of tiring Lixiang again.
"Shen Yu, take Li Xiang out for a walk, watch a movie or something. Don't stay in your room all day tinkering with your crappy computer."
"okay."
After all, there was nothing to do now. It was still awkward for him and Lixiang to stay in the living room with their parents. It was a good time to find a chance to go out for a walk... He wanted to hold her hand.
The two held hands and walked out of the community together, walking on the roadside.
The street lamp stretched the shadows of the two people very long, and because they were so close, the two shadows overlapped.
"Shen Yujun, where are we going?"
"where do you want to go?"
Lixiang looked at it and pointed to the bench under the streetlight in front of her, "Let's go sit there."
"Just sit down?"
Shen Yu asked, why not sit on the sofa at home? There is heating at home, but it is freezing outside.
"Shen Yujun is so stupid..."
Lixiang pulled him to sit down on the chair, put her little hands into his coat pockets, got into his palms, and pinched his palms playfully.
Sometimes Su was extremely itchy, and Shen Yu would hold her little hand tightly to prevent her from moving.
Or he could do what she did, put his fingers into her little fist, and gently tap her smooth palm, which made Lixiang giggle with joy.
"Is it cold?"
"a little bit!"
After hearing what she said, Shen Yu untied his coat. Li Xiang got into his coat sensibly, and Shen Yu wrapped her in his coat and hugged her tightly.
The sound of wind, heartbeat, breathing...
In front of them was the night view of the city, with pedestrians and traffic passing by like film reels. The two of them cuddled together on the bench under the street lights.
"Will Mr. Shen Yu feel bored?"
“Not boring at all…”
Shen Yu sighed, it's great to be in love.
