"Most people can make this kind of home-cooked food." Xia Yu said with a smile.
The old lady nodded and said to the second lady beside her, "Please pick up a piece of spicy chicken for me to try."
"Okay, Mom!" The second wife hurriedly helped the old lady pick up the food, feeling very proud of herself.
So what if some people have been busy all morning? Are they still not as good as Xia Yu's twenty minutes? This is called a congenital deficiency that cannot be made up for by the day after tomorrow.
"How is it?" The second wife saw the old lady tasting it and asked cautiously.
"Very good, really good!" The old lady nodded repeatedly.
"How can a cook's daughter compare to ordinary people?" Zeng Mina was really aggrieved. She originally thought that Shen Yan would definitely be with Yang Ke'er, but who knew that he would be determined to be with Xia Yu this time? .
If I had known this was the case, I shouldn't have put so much effort into learning to cook. She has been training since she was a child, but in front of her, it's just a matter of course.
According to her theory, if his father is a cook, his food will be good. Her father is the boss, so why shouldn’t she be the boss? Isn't this unreasonable
Fortunately, those who work are all well-educated people, and no one cares about her. Fortunately, Xia Yu made two more dishes and one soup, so everyone made do with it.
As for what Zeng Mina did, no one moved their chopsticks, not even the eldest lady who always supported her. It's one thing to support her, but you can't feel wronged, right
Zeng Mina didn't have the nerve to pick up Xia Yu's stir-fried vegetables, but she made them herself and barely ate two bites without picking them up again. After grabbing two chopsticks, I got off the table early and sat aside to watch TV.
After the meal, the old lady was in high spirits and asked everyone to accompany her for a walk in the garden.
Under a big tree, the old lady stopped and said, "This tree was planted by his grandfather when Xiao Yan was born. After so many years, Xiao Yan also has a girlfriend. This The trees also grow with lush branches and leaves.”
"Grandma, did Mr. Mo plant a tree when he was born? Which tree was it?" Zeng Mina asked from the side. Shen Mo is the eldest grandson, so grandpa must pay more attention to it. Now he can overpower them.
The old lady smiled and said, "When Xiao Mo was born, he was abroad. Our whole family rushed there, but he was born while we were still on the plane."
In other words, there was no big tree when Shen Mo was born. Zeng Mina was a little disappointed.
After that, everyone continued to move forward. Zeng Mina tugged on Xia Yu's clothes and deliberately kept a certain distance from everyone.
"You seem to have something to tell me?" Xia Yu asked.
"You are indeed more capable than your cousin. You have already entered the palace." Zeng Mina said sourly.
"So, you feel unhappy?" Xia Yu raised the corners of her lips.
"That's why Yang Ke'er was stupid, so she gave up Shen Yan to you." Mentioning Yang Ke'er, Zeng Mina thought of how she treated Xia Yu. They can still talk and laugh now, but Xia Yu really doesn't treat her well. How friendly she is, she curled her lips and said, "Xia Yu, I don't understand. How have I offended you? You always speak coldly to me."
Xia Yu wanted to say, are there many ways you have offended me? He smiled and said, "Isn't it any better if you talk to me?"
"Isn't this a bit of a misunderstanding before? Now that your relationship with Shen Yan has been settled, we will be a family sooner or later. If we continue to quarrel with each other, the Shen family will not look good." Zeng Mina didn't want to tell Xia Yu. Softening, the problem is that she can't stand up to Xia Yu.
"I didn't take the initiative to provoke you." Now that you know the Shen family's reputation, why did you go there? But Xia Yu didn't bother to talk to Zeng Mina, as long as she didn't take the initiative to get close to her.
"Then it's settled. Now your sister has found a good home. And we will become a family. Let's not mention the past, okay?" Zeng Mina said quickly.
As a family, it’s still too early to say this. But Xia Yu couldn't say anything else, so she just laughed and laughed.
"I'll just assume you agreed." Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zeng Mina automatically assumed she had acquiesced. She smiled and said, "Actually, although you have an unforgiving mouth, you still have a pretty good heart. That matter, Thank you for never telling Mr. Mo."
Mina Zeng was referring to indecent photos of herself and others.
She still had the nerve to mention that matter to the Shen family. Xia Yu's lips twitched and she forced a smile, "By the way, you have been engaged to Young Master Mo for so long, why do you still call him Young Master Mo?"
It's not that Xia Yu made a fuss. If Shen Yan and the others were dating, he would still yell at Young Master Yan, and he would have to worry about whether our relationship is boyfriend and girlfriend or superior and subordinate.
When it came to this matter, Zeng Mina also felt a little aggrieved, "As you know, we have known each other before. We have been calling him Mr. Mo for so many years. He said he didn't get used to it after changing his name."
"That's true." Xia Yu nodded, but was mumbling in her heart. No wonder Shen Yan was so sure that Shen Mo would not marry Zeng Mina. It seemed to make sense.
Fortunately, Xia Yu did not continue to ask, otherwise Zeng Mina would make a fool of herself again. She quickly changed the subject, "Xia Yu, when did you and Mr. Mo reconcile? He actually knew that your cooking was good and he smiled at you."
After finishing speaking, Zeng Mina hurriedly explained, "As you know, he hardly smiles at others."
"He said that he heard from Xiaoqiang that I can cook, so he asked me to cook for him a while ago. As for the question you mentioned about him laughing, I actually want to ask you. Do you know that the company used to What did the employees say about him? He said he didn't have the ability to laugh. "Xia Yu was also puzzled.
It turned out that she didn't know why Shen Mo became cheerful. Zeng Mina was a little disappointed, "You don't know, since his ex-girlfriend passed away, I'm talking about his previous girlfriend, not your cousin. He never After laughing, everyone thought he would never laugh again.”
"Tranquility?" Xia Yu asked.
"Do you still know Jingjing?" Zeng Mina looked at Xia Yu in surprise.
"Don't look at me like that. I also heard what Shen Yan said." Xia Yu saw her looking at him in confusion and said, "Do you remember that time we had a fight? That doctor named Zhou Yan sent me back. Later Shen Yan found out , saying that Zhou Yan cheated on his eldest brother’s girlfriend.”
"That's what happened." Xia Yu explained so, and Zeng Mina didn't doubt it, "Master Mo really likes Jingjing, but Zhou Yan is really not a thing. Master Mo treats him as a friend, but he steals his girlfriend. "
"It's really hard to talk about feelings." Xia Yu said vaguely.
"Yes, Master Mo is really good to Ning Jing. I still can't figure out why Ning Jing broke up with Master Mo and chose Zhou Yan. You know both of them. You know, there is no comparison between Zhou Yan and Master Mo. "Zeng Mina shook her head and said.
"This is called flowers for each eye." Xia Yu said with a smile.
"Can you two walk faster? It's better than an old lady walking fast." The eldest lady saw Zeng Mina and Xia Yu muttering. She didn't know what they were talking about, and she felt a little unhappy.
You should know that Xia Yu stole the spotlight today. A soup made the old lady smile. She also forgave Shen Yan and stopped calling her Shen Yan. She called her Xiao Yan and even went shopping with them.
Does Zeng Mina have any brains to be so affectionate with her
Xia Yu looked up, and sure enough, they were already far away, and said to Zeng Mina, "Let's go there!"
The two walked over together, and the old lady was quite satisfied. I couldn't help but compare Xia Yu and Yang Ke'er. If Yang Ke'er and Zeng Mina were to meet today, the two of them would definitely tear each other down.
But Xia Yu is very measured and her cooking skills are obviously quite good. But Zeng Mina said she would do it, so Xia Yu didn't argue with her. During the meal, Zeng Mina's food was really unpalatable, and she did not take the opportunity to attack Zeng Mina.
Even when Zeng Mina was sarcastic to her, she laughed it off, and now she was even talking and laughing with Zeng Mina. This great weapon is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
After Xia Yu and Zeng Mina came over, the old lady waved to Xia Yu and asked her to come over, "Come over to grandma."
"Yes, grandma!" Xia Yu walked over and helped her.
"Xia Yu, I've seen your file, and it says your hometown is in City A. Do your parents still work in City A?" the old lady asked with a loving look on her face.
"Still, but in recent years, my father has become obsessed with folk snacks. He travels all over the country, and my mother is basically the only one at home." Xia Yu answered truthfully.
The old lady nodded, "That's it. When do you think they are free, would you like to invite them to your home?"
"Thank you, grandma!" Xia Yu said quickly.
"Isn't this the right thing to do? It's time for the elders of our two families to get to know each other." The smile on the old lady's face became even wider.
Look at the old lady's partiality. Why didn't she invite Zeng Ziqiang to come over in the first place? The eldest lady's face immediately entered the freezing stage.
But the old lady didn't seem to care. She turned around and said to Shen Yan, "Xiao Yan, don't just focus on work. Take the time to go to City A and invite Xia Yu's parents for grandma and your mother."
"Yes, grandma! I remember." Shen Yan hurriedly agreed, but he really couldn't figure out how her old man could suddenly change so much.
Not to mention her, even the second wife on the side was a little confused. If she remembered correctly, just a few days ago the old lady said that since Shen Yan rejected Yang Keer, the child is no longer here, and her tone was quite regretful.
Inviting Xia Yu over today was just a show-off after being provoked by that boy Xiao Yan, but it was elevated to the point where the parents of the two families met.
What to do, is the next step to get engaged or let them get married directly
The second wife was a little unsure of what the old lady meant, and said from the side, "Just now Xiaoyu said that her father often travels across the country. It's really hard to make an appointment at this time."
"That's why I have to make preparations!" The old lady said with a smile, "It would be great if they could come when I celebrate my birthday."
Isn’t it next month? It seems that this old lady is serious. After her birthday, she would choose a day for the two of them to get engaged or get married.
The arrangement is really good. This brother is not married yet. If she doesn't believe her, she will let them get married first. The eldest lady said to the side with a smile on her face, "That's great. I also told Xiao Mo that he would ask the big boss of Ruyilu to come over and make a hot and sour radish soup for you. My future in-laws will also come. , just let them discuss it, Xiao Yan, do you think so?"
The words tasted different in her mouth. Shen Yan ignored her words and said to the old lady, "I will try my best to take time to go to City A this month."
"Okay, it's settled." The old lady patted Xia Yu's hand with a smile. Seeing that her wrist was bare and not even a piece of jewelry, she took off a blood jade bracelet from her wrist and brought it to Xia Yu On his wrist, he said, "I bought this when your grandfather and I got married. The style is a bit old, so don't dislike it."
"Grandma, this is too expensive!" Grandpa gave it to her old man. Putting aside the value, the meaning was extraordinary. Xia Yu was really flattered.
The eldest lady on the side was even more shocked and stunned. That blood jade bracelet was the old lady's treasure. She had been wearing it for so many years and now she was giving it to Xia Yu
