Chapter 113: He's Coming to Dinner
Bai Yanyan clapped her hands, sat next to Cong Jiajia, looked at the elegantly furnished home, and said with a sigh: "Jiajia, I finally have a home that truly belongs to me now, what do you want to eat in the future, just say to me, come to my house to eat, don't want to be at home alone, just tell me, just come to live in my house!" β
Cong Jiajia raised her eyebrows and asked Bai Yanyan casually, "Can I come to your house and live casually?" I'll come to live in your house, so what about your Ye Xiang? β
"He, let him sleep in the study!" Bai Yanyan laughed, speaking of Ye Xiang, her eyebrows were sweet.
"Then forget it, I'll sleep in Ye Xiang's study when I come, then he won't hate me to death!" Cong Jiajia picked out her favorite snacks on the table and ate them, and when she saw the festive pattern on it, she suddenly turned her head and asked Bai Yanyan, "Don't you go back to Ye Xiang's hometown for the New Year?" Are you going there for the New Year, or are you going to spend the New Year at home? β
When Bai Yanyan heard Cong Jiajia talk about Ye Xiang's hometown, her smiling face froze, her mouth curled, and she said gloomily: "My mother-in-law wants us to go back for the New Year, but I don't want to go back, Ye Xiang and I just got married this year, I want to have a New Year that only belongs to the two of us, and I don't want to mix with them." β
Cong Jiajia thought of Bai Yanyan's strong and domineering mother-in-law, and grinned secretly, Bai Yanyan thought that the two of them would celebrate the New Year at home, which was a little too naΓ―ve.
Bai Yanyan seemed to realize this, sighed softly, and said: "But you also know, my mother-in-law's temperament, hey, there is really no perfect thing in life, I met a perfect husband, had a happy marriage, but also had such a superb mother-in-law!" β
Cong Jiajia nodded, stroked the cold box of the makeup bag, smelled the faint aroma in the air, and couldn't help but think of Cheng Nanwei's superb mother, she said to Bai Yanyan very solemnly: "I already have a lesson here, you must not follow my old path again, no matter what, you must learn to be tolerant, understand, and manage your marriage with Ye Xiang well, your mother-in-law can get along, you work hard for a happy life with Ye Xiang in the future, be kind to her!" β
Bai Yanyan sighed bitterly and said wailingly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, then I can only go back to his house for the New Year, Emma, my happy New Year."
"Okay, don't be depressed here, hurry up and cook for me, I'm hungry." Cong Jiajia pushed Bai Yanyan.
"Okay! I'm going to cook now! Bai Yanyan stood up neatly, seeing that Cong Jiajia didn't move, shrinking on the sofa with the meaning of watching TV, she kicked Cong Jiajia's leg, "Don't be idle here, today is the first time that Ye Xiang and I have started a fire at home to cook, I promised to cook a big meal for him, you can also come and help!" β
Cong Jiajia reluctantly stood up and followed Bai Yanyan to the kitchen.
In terms of cooking, Cong Jiajia has not made progress, when she lived with Cheng Nanwei, there were servants to cook on weekdays, and occasionally Cheng Nanwei would show her skills to cook for her, and Cong Jiajia was too lazy to learn to cook.
When Cong Jiajia fell in love with Song Chenfei, Song Chenfei liked to order takeout, from breakfast, to lunch, and dinner, they were all takeaways from five-star restaurants, and the taste was excellent, and Cong Jiajia's mouth was raised, and she didn't want to learn to cook and eat by herself at all.
She talked with Xia Yang for a few days about love, because they are very busy, they always need to run outside, busy, they eat out every day, porridge shop, fast food, Chinese food, all kinds of food, Cong Jiajia has no time to cook.
Now Cong Jiajia has become a lonely person again, and she is even more reluctant to cook alone, cooking instant noodles, making oatmeal, all kinds of improvisation, and will be settled.
Cong Jiajia, who has no cooking skills, followed Bai Yanyan into the kitchen, and she could only give Bai Yanyan a hand, peeling onions, smashing garlic, washing vegetables, and slightly more difficult work, Bai Yanyan didn't need her to do it, Bai Yanyan didn't trust Cong Jiajia, afraid that Cong Jiajia would lower her level of cooking.
Bai Yanyan really worked hard to cook today, all the dishes were done very carefully, a stewed prawn that Ye Xiang likes to eat is out of the pot, with emerald green lettuce leaves below, bright prawns on top, and small shallots, the color and fragrance are already very attractive.
Cong Jiajia took the plate with the prawns and said jokingly: "Yanyan, we are all so familiar, I don't have so much attention, as long as you can do the dish well, you don't need to match me with lettuce leaves, it's too troublesome!" β
"Don't be sentimental, this dish is not made for you!" Bai Yanyan glared at Cong Jiajia, and then went to open the steamer with a smile.
Bai Yanyan is skilled in cooking, and everything she does is very step-by-step, before stir-frying, she has put the fish in the steamer and steamed it, and put the pork ribs in a pot outside the order to stew, and now the fried dishes are ready, and these two things are also cooked.
Cong Jiajia brought the braised prawns to the dining table, looking at the two cold dishes that had been placed on the table, she had to admire Bai Yanyan, two cold dishes, four hot dishes, tonight's six dishes are light and greasy with a moderate match, several dishes are full of color, flavor and flavor, and the speed of cooking is very fast, she is really a good daughter-in-law who can go to the hall and the kitchen, Ye Xiang didn't know what virtue she had accumulated in her previous life, and she was able to marry Bai Yanyan in this life.
Cong Jiajia couldn't help but turn her head and ask Bai Yanyan, "We have prepared all the meals here, why hasn't your protagonist come back yet!" β
Bai Yanyan, who was busy, heard Cong Jiajia say this, thinking of Ye Xiang, Bai Yanyan raised her hand to look at the watch on her wrist, frowned suspiciously, and said, "Yes, why hasn't Ye Xiang come back yet, he told me that he would be home on time at half past six, and now it's six forty-five!" β
She turned off the fire on the stove, walked to the living room, found the mobile phone, and was about to call Ye Xiang, Bai Yanyan's phone didn't wait to go out, the mobile phone rang first, she saw that it was Ye Xiang's name, and hurriedly answered it.
"Yanyan, you cook more tonight, I'm with Brother Nan Wei and Brother Quan Rui, we're going to eat upstairs together!" Ye Xiang said happily on the phone, "My mother told me that the first meal in the new family should find more people to come over for dinner, so that the family will be popular and lively, and people will be prosperous in the future!" β
Your mother! Your mother! It's your mom again! Fuck you!!
Bai Yanyan listened to Ye Xiang's words, her nose was almost crooked, but she couldn't care about Ye Xiang now, and Ye Xiang was angry, she saw Cong Jiajia who couldn't stand not far away, thinking of Cheng Nanwei, who was going to come to the house for dinner, and hurriedly asked Ye Xiang, "Where have you gone with them?" β
"We've gone downstairs to our house, and we're going upstairs soon!" Ye Xiang replied with a big grin.
Why is this Ye Xiang doing things like this, if he wants to bring his friends back for dinner, why didn't he tell himself earlier!
Bai Yanyan was really going to be angry with Ye Xiang, after she hung up the phone, she looked at Cong Jiajia very embarrassed, grunted, didn't know how to speak, such a stunned young husband was really enough for her to have a headache.
When Cong Jiajia saw Bai Yanyan's expression, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? Ye Xiang can't come back for dinner? β
"It's not that Ye Xiang can't come back for dinner, but Ye Xiang is back, and he also brought two people, Quan Rui, and Cheng Nanwei." Bai Yanyan told Cong Jiajia the news with a sad face.
Cong Jiajia didn't say a word, and was about to get dressed when she walked to the door, Bai Yanyan immediately rushed over to stop Cong Jiajia, who was about to leave, "They have already arrived downstairs, they will go upstairs immediately, we only have one elevator in this building, you leave now, you can meet them at the elevator door!" β
"Ah!!h Cong Jiajia's eyes widened in pain and surprise, "You, you two are deliberately trying to harm me!" β
"No, I didn't expect Ye Xiang to suddenly ask to bring Cheng Nanwei back for dinner, and Ye Xiang didn't expect you to stay at my house for dinner" Bai Yanyan explained to Cong Jiajia anxiously, and then frowned angrily, and said angrily: "Ye Xiang's mother is to blame for this matter, she called and told Ye Xiang that the new home was on fire for the first time to cook, and she had to find more people to come over for dinner, so that everyone would be prosperous in the future and blame my mother-in-law for promoting feudal superstition with Ye Xiang, otherwise Cheng Nanwei and they would not come to my house for dinner."
As soon as Cong Jiajia heard that Bai Yanyan was about to have a conflict with her mother-in-law because of herself, she hurriedly put down her clothes and smiled indifferently at Bai Yanyan, "Come if they come, I'm not leaving, I was eating at my good friend's house, and I didn't go to their house to eat, what am I doing hiding from them!" β
The sudden change in her attitude stunned Bai Yanyan for a moment, and then smiled happily and said, "Yes, you are coming to my house for dinner, you have nothing to do with them, don't care about them!" β
"Let's go, the guests are coming soon, let's hurry up and get busy in the kitchen, the new daughter-in-law is the first to be treated, and she has to show her best state and level!" Cong Jiajia smiled and pushed Bai Yanyan, acting more and more casually.
Cong Jiajia realized that the more she minded, the more unhappy and nervous she was, the more dissatisfied Bai Yanyan would be with Ye Xiang and Ye's mother, and when they left, Bai Yanyan would definitely quarrel with Ye Xiang, Cong Jiajia didn't want to let Bai Yanyan and Ye Xiang quarrel because of her own reasons.
Bai Yanyan saw that Cong Jiajia behaved quite naturally, she relaxed slightly, turned around and walked to the kitchen, ready to fry the last two dishes, at this moment, there was a sound of keys outside the door, Bai Yanyan knew that Ye Xiang was bringing the guest, she turned around, glanced at Cong Jiajia, and walked to the door to greet the guest.
Cong Jiajia knew that there would be Cheng Nanwei who came in, and her heart couldn't help but speed up, her hands beside her clenched into fists, and kept telling herself not to be nervous, not to be nervous, it doesn't matter
