Chapter 56 - Because I Really Like You

"Auntie, how do you know my name?" Ji Ran looked at Hong's mother strangely, in her memory, it seemed that this was the first time Ji Ran met Hong's mother after being reborn, and she actually knew her name.

"Hehe, I've heard your teacher say a long time ago, you are a good student, your grades are among the best in the school, and you are still a class cadre in the vigorous class, my family is vigorously under your care, and your academic performance has also improved a lot, I always want to thank you." Mother Hong said with a smile, staring at Ji Ran's little face with a pair of eyes, looking at Ji Ran's delicate face, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

"Auntie, I am at the same table and good friends with Dali, I should help him, Auntie doesn't have to be so polite." Ji Ran smiled awkwardly and said.

"Tsk, look at this little mouth, you can talk a lot, Auntie really likes you more and more." Hong's mother held Ji Ran's little hand, as if she was holding her daughter's hand, and she was very affectionate.

Ji Ran was muttering in her heart, my aunt hated me so much in her previous life, why did she like me so much in this life?

"From now on, Auntie will hand over Dali to you, Dali, this child has been naughty since he was a child, he didn't listen to what I told his father, it's rare that he is so obedient now, and only you can control him." Hong's mother said with a smile.

"Mom, what are you talking about? When did I become disobedient? Hong Dali said with some embarrassment.

Looking at Hong Dali's red face, Hong's mother laughed, "Ouch, my son is still shy." ”

"Mom... Hurry up and cook. Hong vigorously pushed Hong's mother into the kitchen.

"Son, what can you do? Had such a beautiful girlfriend? Hong's mother asked with a smile.

Hong Dali's heart jumped, and he turned his head nervously to look at the living room, and then, he looked at Hong's mother with a frown, "Mom, you be quiet, Xiao Ran is not my girlfriend yet, we are not the kind of relationship you think." ”

"Tsk, it's still Xiaoran, is it sour or not? I've heard your teacher say a long time ago, you two are usually inseparable in school, and she was still changing clothes in your room just now, and I'll be honest, have you ever had that kind of relationship? As soon as Hong's mother said this, Hong Dali was startled and quickly shook his head.

"No, no, Mom, what do you want? Xiao Ran is not an adult, how could I have something like that happen to her? Hong Dali's face turned red and said, "What's more, even if I want to, you won't agree." ”

"Who says I wouldn't agree? The children of your age are mature early, if you don't catch one as soon as possible, you will only be able to pick up the rest of the rest in the future, I see that Ji Ran, this little girl is delicate and delicate, and she will be liked by looking at it, if you really like people, you must start as soon as possible, but you must pay attention to taking measures, but you can't make people's stomachs bigger. ”

Hearing Hong's mother say this, Hong Dali was stunned in place, and it took a while to come back to his senses, "Mom, when have you been so reasonable?" ”

"Hmph, as long as you kid doesn't fool around with those boys who don't mess around, and have a girlfriend seriously, how can my mother object? What's more, Ji Ran, this little girl, is not the kind of girl who is flirtatious, the more my mother looks at it, the more I like it, son, come on, my mother wishes you success. Hong's mother smiled and encouraged.

Hong Dali looked at his mother to cheer him up, smiled and nodded, "Well, I know my mother." ”

"Okay, hurry up and go out to accompany others, it's not too early, I'll hurry up and cook, leave people at home for a hot meal, don't snub others." Hong's mother commanded.

"Oh, got it." Hong Dali walked out of the kitchen with a smile, and at this time, Ji Ran was already planning to leave.

"Dali, it's not too early, I'm going back." Ji Ran said with his schoolbag in his hand.

"Don't go, my mother still wants to leave you at home for dinner." Hong Dali snatched Ji Ran's schoolbag and said.

"But I haven't told my family yet."

"What's so hard about that? Call home and say yes, not to mention it's still early, it's only a little past six o'clock, isn't it common for you to come home at half past seven on weekdays? Seeing that Hong Dali was so retained, Ji Ran couldn't say anything more, so he had to agree.

"Then I'll help your mother cook."

"You know how to cook?" Hong Dali asked in surprise.

"Hehe, a little." Ji Ran said modestly, in fact, Ji Ran's skills in his previous life were quite good, and when he was in college, he also won the first prize in the cooking competition.

Although it may not be possible to cook delicacies from the mountains and seas, it is more than enough to make home-cooked side dishes.

Ji Ran washed his hands, went to the kitchen, helped Hong's mother set up her hands, looked at the ingenious Ji Ran beside her, and cut the green onion segment really well, not only fast, but also with uniform thickness, the dexterous and white little knife is light and fast, and each knife is just right, which shows that its knife skills can be seen.

"Xiao Ran, have you ever learned to cook before?" Hong's mother looked at Ji Ran, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, she was so sensible at such a young age, and she would definitely be a good manager in the future.

"Hehe, I've learned a little." Ji Ran put the chopped green onions on the plate, and when she saw that Hong's mother was about to put eggplant pieces into the oil pot, she hurriedly stopped her.

"Auntie, if the eggplant is fried directly, it will be soft, and the taste is not very good, if it doesn't stick to the batter, it will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste will be better."

Hearing Ji Ran say this, Hong's mother was really curious, "Really? ”

"Yes." Ji Ran smiled and nodded, skillfully found the starch and beer from the cupboard, mixed the starch with beer into juice, and then evenly smeared the eggplant with starch, and then put it into the oil pan.

Mother Hong watched Ji Ran skillfully operate the hot pot, and while secretly amazed on the side, she was also full of praise, this little girl really has two brushes, and judging from her proficiency in finding starch and beer, it seems that she has a very thorough understanding of the situation at home, otherwise, how can an outsider know where the objects at home are placed?

Thinking about her perennial business outside the home, if there is such a considerate little girl at home to take care of her son, Hong's mother is still very relieved.

Under Ji Ran's Zhang Luo, a few simple home-cooked dishes came out of the pot, because they were cooked by Ji Ran himself, so Hong Dali's appetite was full, he feasted and ate happily.

"Xiao Ran, I will come to the house more often in the future, I can have such a good woman as you... Friend, it is his blessing, you bother to take care of him, if you have any difficulties in the future, just tell your aunt, if your aunt can satisfy you, you must try to meet it. Hong's mother said with a smile.

"Hehe, aunt, you are too polite, I am good friends with Dali, and we will naturally take care of each other, so don't worry." Ji Ran said with a smile.

"Well, I'm relieved to have your words." Hong's mother said with a smile.

After dinner, Hong Dali sent Ji Ran downstairs.

"Ji Ran, I'm sorry, I didn't know that my mother came back suddenly, she must have misunderstood the relationship between us, don't take what she said at the dinner table." Hong Dali explained apologetically.

"I'm not afraid that my aunt will misunderstand, I'm afraid that you will misunderstand, as long as you know that we are brothers." Ji Ran said with a smile.

"Do you really only think of me as a brother?" Hong Dali asked with some loss.

"Hehe, yes, at least for now." Ji Ran smiled and nodded.

"And after that? Will there be further developments in the future? I mean, can I be your boyfriend? Hong Dali asked expectantly.

"Why do you want to be my boyfriend?"

"Because...... Because I really like you! Hong Dali looked at Ji Ran with burning eyes, and confessed very affectionately.
