Chapter 2: The Taste of Life
Because there was no schedule, Lan Ji went to fix the hairstyle as soon as he got to work in the afternoon, and then he did a special manicure, and then came back to make up for sleep in the office, until Xiang Nan came to pick him up.
Back home, Sang-nam went to the study, and Lan Ji re-applied her makeup from the room before coming down. Seeing that the living room was empty, she turned around the living room boredly, and when she heard a sound near the kitchen, she quietly paced over.
I saw that in Ziluo's bedroom, Sister-in-law Wu was holding a hairpin in her hand and put it on Ziluo's hair.
"Sister-in-law Wu, why spend such unjust money, I've never been used to wearing hairpins."
"If you wear it too much, you will get used to it. Look at how beautiful our purple dill is. ”
"Sister-in-law Wu, is it really good-looking?" Since living with her father, in order to take care of herself, Ziluo has always tied a simple ponytail with a black headband, and it has been a long time for her to have a hairpin.
"It's good, it's good. When did Sister-in-law Wu deceive you? ”
"Well, Sister-in-law Wu said that good-looking is good-looking." Ziluo shyly glanced hurriedly in the mirror.
"Is this kid good-looking, why be ashamed?"
"Sister-in-law Wu."
"Okay, okay, Sister-in-law Wu won't joke with you anymore. Put this away and wear it tomorrow when you go to school. "Sister-in-law Wu couldn't see Lan Ji's unreasonable trouble in the morning, so she felt pitiful and went to the market to choose such a hairpin, although the price is not very expensive, but it is the latest model this year.
"Well, I listen to Sister-in-law Wu." Ziluo grimaced happily.
"Hmph, isn't this old guy old and confused, it's rare that she doesn't know that I am the future mistress of this family?" Lan Ji pouted at Sister-in-law Wu and Ziluo, turned her head angrily and left.
As she passed the kitchen, she went in to see that the casserole was still mushroom soup. Although eating mushroom food is good, it has the effect of strengthening the body, strengthening the spleen and appetizing, but you can't eat it every day.
On the table next to him are the spicy chicken that Xiang Nan loves to eat, the sauce beef that Qiu Shi loves to eat, and the hibiscus soup that Meiru loves, but it seems that he has not found his favorite food.
Oops, eating fasting, Lan Ji's psychology is even more unbalanced, she angrily scooped out 2 tablespoons of salt from the salt shaker and poured them into the pot, to see that there was no one around, and added a large spoonful of chili oil to the spicy chicken. In the end, he was angry and poured two spoonfuls of pepper into Meiru's hibiscus soup before pretending to leave as if nothing had happened.
"Auntie, this is your favorite hibiscus soup, drink more, by the way, and Nange's spicy chicken. You work hard, eat more. ”
Lan Ji diligently helped Meiru serve soup for the first time.
"What's wrong today, suddenly become so well-behaved." Sang-nam looked at Lan Ji with his eyes and casually stuffed a large piece of chicken into his mouth.
"Brother Nan, I'm also very well-behaved when I am, it's just that you didn't notice it." Lan Ji held her cheeks with her cheeks, and her eyes were dripping.
"Well, that's right." Meiru smiled and scooped a little hibiscus soup with a spoon, and as soon as she put it in her mouth, she immediately spit it out again, shouting in her mouth.
"Ah, he's numb, what's going on, ah?" Miru kept swinging her left hand up and down, fanning the cool breeze to her mouth.
Qiu Shi, who was about to put the mushroom soup in his mouth, carefully licked the edge of the spoon, and grinned because it was salty.
"What's the matter, is it spicy, quick, quick, drink some water first." Lan Ji had already prepared two glasses of boiled water from the living room.
Xiang Nan, who was so spicy that he couldn't speak, handed his mother a cup, and then drank his cup in one go.
"Mom, it's spicy to me."
"What's going on?" Qiu Shi frowned widely.
"Well, I see, that's only known by asking the guy in charge of cooking tonight."
"Sister-in-law Wu, Ziluo."
"Yes, ma'am." Sister-in-law Wu and Ziluo, who were eating in the kitchen, ran out in response.
"What are your commands?"
"Sister-in-law Wu, let me ask you, did you make this meal tonight."
"Auntie, I made this dish."
"Ziluo, isn't it that I've been too nervous about studying lately, look at it, this soup, and that chicken, can't be eaten at all."
"No, I just tasted it."
"What won't, I see that you are stupid in learning, and I don't believe that you will taste it." Meiru stood up and shouted at Ziluo mercilessly.
"This ......" Ziluo stepped forward and scooped it up with a spoon and tasted it, only to frown.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll make a new one right away."
"What's the use of doing it all over again, we don't have any time to waste waiting here."
"When the dish is not out of the pot, I have obviously tasted it, how can this be?"
"Ziluo, have you put the seasoning on it?" Sister-in-law Wu reminded cautiously on the side.
"No, when I tasted it just now, it was obviously good." Ziluo lowered her head and looked aggrieved.
"Yes, since you entered the Xiang family, you have never made a mistake in cooking, is there any misunderstanding in it?"
"Sister-in-law Wu, you make it clear, what misunderstanding? If you want me to see, this is all caused by Ziluo's carelessness, not to mention the good food on the table, not to mention the waste of food, and the good mood of the family enjoying dinner. What a disappointment. ”
"Anyway, this is the first time for Ziluo, and this has never happened before."
"Hmph, what's the use of talking about this now, the facts are here, and there is nothing that can't be admitted."
"I'm sorry."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it." Meiru wiped the corners of her mouth with a dissatisfied napkin.
"I'm sorry, madam, I blame everything tonight, let's make a new table right away, do you think so?"
"It's not good, what if it does...... it?"
"Lan Ji?"
"Why, am I wrong? It's obvious that she has a heart, but she can't let people say it? In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again next time, the person concerned should be punished. ”
"This incident was caused by me, and it has nothing to do with Sister-in-law Wu. If you want to be punished, you will punish me. ”
"That's what you said." Lan Ji was secretly proud.
"Lan Ji, you see that Ziluo is sad enough, so don't add fuel to the fire. Besides, there has never been a precedent for our family to punish others, so don't worry about it. Otherwise, let's go out to eat, don't you still say you want to eat out in the morning, it just so happens that we haven't eaten out together as a family for a long time. Xiang Nan looked at his noncommittal father, and when he saw that there was no reaction, he stared at Meiru naughtily. Until Miru laughed kindly.
"Okay, according to you, it's all up to you. I heard that Yijiayuan has recently launched a few special dishes, and my mother just wants to try them, so let's do it today, what do you say? Miru looked at Akimi and asked for his opinion.
"So you all agree. Then I don't have much to say. Let's go. Qiu Shi, who had not spoken, got up and left the table expressionlessly, and the others followed out one by one.
"Sister-in-law Wu, what to do, I really didn't mean to." Ziluo had tears in her eyes, and she was sad and didn't know what to say.
"Well, I don't know how this happened. One thing I firmly believe is that you have always been a kind child, and you will never deliberately do such a thing to harm others. ”
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Wu, it's just that I'm bothering you again."
"Silly boy, you didn't bother Sister-in-law Wu or anything. Just pay attention in the future, ah, don't take it to heart. I'll clean up here, you go back to your room to review. ”
"How can this be done, Sister-in-law Wu, you are already very tired after a busy day, I can't trouble you anymore."
"Then, let's clean up together, this can always be done." Sister-in-law Wu shook her head helplessly. Since she entered the Xiang's house as a helper, Wu's sister-in-law, who has been single, grew up in an orphanage, and has cherished this place as her own home, especially in the gentle and stubborn Ziluo as if she had the shadow of her youth, she loves and loves her, cares about everything, and treats her like her own daughter.
The two of them went in and out to clean up the restaurant first, and then went to the kitchen to wash up together.
"Sister-in-law Wu, sister-in-law Wu, look here."
