Chapter 22: The Family Feast
Xiao Yao also knew in his heart that things like friends were also twisted melons that were not sweet.
After the church meeting, he wanted to go home with Yu Luying naturally, but was left behind by Father Yu's "important matters to discuss".
As a result, Yu Luying was almost home when he let him go.
By the time I got home, it was already sunset.
Grandma went to "the old man's" house, and with a little money, it was enough to go out and eat a bowl of scallion oil noodles.
Xiao Yao didn't want to eat scallion oil noodles, he was depressed after eating too much.
By the ghost, he opened the refrigerator.
It is said that ghosts make gods worse, because Xiao Yao not only can't cook, but there is never ready-made food in the refrigerator.
As usual, the freezer compartment of the fridge was empty, with only a few eggs, some bottles and jars, a wilted shallot, a few carrots, and half a bag...... Uh, tiny dried shrimp? That's right, it's called sea rice, and a big bowl of leftover rice.
But this time, Xiao Yao didn't shake his head and close the door - some different thoughts poked out from the depths of his thoughts, and the broken things in the refrigerator didn't look so unappetizing anymore.
Soak the sea rice in water, cut the radish into cubes and green onions, beat the eggs and heat the oil, first scramble the eggs and then the sea rice, the vegetables are cut off and the rice, and the seafood fried rice is out of the pot.
Everything seems to have been practiced for more than ten years, and it is a matter of course.
Let's take a look at Yu Luying's cooking skills.
-- Dividing line --
Dinner time.
"It's delicious, my wife is delicious!" Xiao Yao nodded again and again while picking up the rice: "My fried rice is really delicious!" It's the taste of home, it's the feeling of bliss! β
"......" Shen Tianyun was a little speechless: "Although it is indeed okay...... But who would eat their own food so praised, as if it was the first time to eat it, and don't you think it's light? β
"You know what? Less oil and less salt is healthy. Besides, can't you give me some positive feedback? Xiao Yao said dissatisfied.
"Okay, good, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking at such a young age, and you were born to be a son-in-law." Shen Tianyun gave a thumbs up.
Xiao Yao deliberately sank his face.
Shen Tianyun's indifference at this time made him a little skeptical: whether the essay of the primary school students he saw before would be a complete misunderstanding of wishful thinking.
Instead of guessing every day, it would be better to have a head-to-head showdown, and now seems to be a good time?
So, where do you start?
"Oh, I'm kidding......" Shen Tianyun patted Xiao Yao's arm, but the latter shrank his arm.
"What did you do last night?" Xiao Yao squinted, sat upright, and switched to the "strict good father" mode.
"I thought you were more open-minded." Shen Tianyun raised his eyelids and stretched out his chopsticks to grab a leftover meal of Orleans chicken wings.
"I'm open-minded or not, you won't know until today, will you? And can being enlightened not even ask questions about not returning home overnight? β
"What do you mean by not returning home at night? My classmates are going to sing a k together on their birthdays, and if they don't participate in group activities, they will be isolated. Shen Tianyun said with a hippie smile.
"Who's isolated?" Xiao Yao was hit hard by this counterattack, and she didn't know if she had intentional or unintentional: "Ahem...... I said, "Have you dyed the color of your hair?" β
"Born to be born."
"Put P, Shen Jie and I both have jet-black hair," Xiao Yao raised a finger: "Are you a genetic mutation?" Hurry up and wash me, read the "Code of Conduct for Middle School Students" and "Daily Code of Conduct for Middle School Students" ......"
"You're excited, aren't you?" Shen Tianyun was a little impatient: "My dad didn't even take care of my hair-"
"Your dad is here." Xiao Yao pointed to the tip of his nose with his thumb and said, "Put your feet down, who did you learn from, on the chair next to you?" β
"With my mom, what's wrong?" Shen Tianyun still maintained the original sitting posture.
"Your mother isn't like that!"
"You don't know her well." Shen Tianyun muttered and rolled his eyes.
"I ...... Not familiar with her? Xiao Yao choked a little.
Shen Tianyun raised her eyebrows, revealing a "Otherwise?" The look.
"That ......" was silent for a few seconds, and Xiao Yao picked out the shrimp from the fried rice with some curtle: "Tell me, what is Shen Jie like in the future...... Wife? And," he paused, and finally asked the question, "How is my future me?" β
"Shen Jie," Shen Tianyun stretched out his chopsticks and took the shrimp from Xiao Yao's chopsticks.
Xiao Yao realized that he had broken the credit - what about the severity of the words?
"Why are you so picky!" Xiao Yao reprimanded.
"Actually, my mother is quite good, but she is too strong for you," Shen Tianyun ignored him and continued to put the shrimp in his mouth: "It's a bit of a joke, sometimes you complain that she looks like a mother or a teacher." β
Is this the fate of the son-in-law? For the first time in a week, Xiao Yao felt unwilling about this future.
"When I was a child, she was very strict with me, and then she ...... When I grow up, I'll be fine. Shen Tianyun continued: "Your words...... You are a loving father, always speaking for me and protecting me, so our relationship is still very good. β
"The only family cook?" Xiao Yao smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Don't say it so scary, it's not so exaggerated," Shen Tianyun handed over the empty bowl: "Anyway, I won't be like you now, playing the role of my father is addictive, and I am in charge of my head and feet - help me add a bowl of rice!" β
ββ¦β¦ Gone! β
"Who are you fooling?" Shen Tianyun stood up with the empty bowl.
"I'm not enough for you." Xiao Yao said, but he didn't stop her: "How much does the little girl's family want to eat?" Is it the Tang Dynasty after 30 years? β
"You take care of me, I grow my body!"
"Who isn't growing a body anymore, I don't eat as much as you!"
"Are you a sports student? I'm going to train, squatting at home like you? I don't know how to cook more. β
"Okay," Xiao Yao muttered, "I'm just afraid that you'll be too fat to get marriedβ"
"I'm thinner than you, okay," Shen Tianyun said, "There are a lot of people chasing me!" β
"Really?" Xiao Yao was stunned and smelled the smell of danger: "You, are you in love?" Your birthday classmates, male and female?
β
"Isn't it okay to fall in love?" Shen Tianyun came back from eating and tilted her head mischievously.
"I said......" Xiao Yao put the bowl in his hand on the table and sat upright again.
"What are you talking about, only the state officials are allowed to do this, and the people are not allowed to do that, right?"
"Not ......"
Suddenly, Shen Tianyun laughed heartily.
She looked at Xiao Yao with embarrassed eyes: "Na, Dad, are you jealous?" β
"I eat...... What vinegar do I eat! Xiao Yao felt his cheeks burn.
"Okay, I'll tease you," Shen Tianyun said with a straight face: "I'm not in a relationship - not yet." β
"That's good," Xiao Yao patted his chest: "I was thinking about this later, it makes sense that your mother is so angry." Who knows if you're with which guyβ"
"I'm really going to KTV with everyone." Shen Tianyun put down his chopsticks and raised his right hand to make an oath.
"It's okay to fall in love," Xiao Yao said earnestly, "but you are a girl, you must protect yourself." β
"Oh~~~~~~~ I see!" Shen Tianyun spread his palms to Xiao Yao: "These words, did Shen Jie teach you?" Bring your phone! β
"Don't give! Why show you! Xiao Yao put his phone in his pocket.
"Oh-" Shen Tianyun stretched out her tone, as if confirming her conjecture: "Then don't play with my phone in the future." β
"Don't make trouble," Xiao Yao coaxed: "After the exam, I still have to write "The Three-Body Problem". β
"I bought it for you," Shen Tianyun pouted towards the green sofa in his room: "Hardcover version!" β
"Damn, I really bought it." Xiao Yao turned his head to look at the sofa: "Thank you." β
"Hmph~~Hmph~~~" Shen Tianyun smiled proudly.
What about the severity of the good words? Xiao Yao sighed secretly in his chest and gave up the senseless struggle.
"Hey, I'll tell you about it." After being silent for a while, Xiao Yao turned his chopsticks off and poked Shen Tianyun's arm.
"Hmm."
"You have to consider grandma's feelings, right? You don't dye your hair back and dress like this, can grandma stand it? She complained several times, thinking that you were a bad girl, and she wouldn't allow me to associate with you when the time came, what should I do? Xiao Yao said earnestly.
"What am I dressed in?" Shen Tianyun looked down at himself in surprise.
"Don't you think the pants are a little too short?" Xiao Yao said helplessly.
"Pipes and pins aren't enough, and now there are pants again, right?" Shen Tianyun was a little angry: "Dad, classmate, what do you want to say today?" Ready to save a stumbling girl?
"It's not me, it's your grandmotherβ"
"Let me tell you, I wear this when I go to school for training, on such a hot day, I have to run under the playground, grandma stands and talks without backache-" Shen Tianyun pursed her lips: "She's not satisfied, then I won't go to your side, wouldn't you come to my side?" β
You don't eat hard and soft, my daughter.
Xiao Yao clenched his fists under the table and leaned weakly on the back of his chair.
"Huh? What about shrimp? β
"Shrimp, shrimp have all been eaten by you," Xiao Yao said angrily: "You can also eat some vegetables, otherwise it won't grow tall." β
"Didn't you eat a bite of vegetables, and you still said me?" Shen Tianyun put down his chopsticks and stood up.
"It's kind of like my daughter's." Xiao Yao and Shen Tianyun glanced at each other and laughed together.
"Xiao Yao, I'm leaving."
"It's a big night, you're going out again." Xiao Yao saw Shen Tianyun digging out a pair of middle pants in the closet.
"yes, go square dancing." Shen Tianyun gestured to the pants on his body: "These pants are long enough, Dad?" β
Xiao Yao pretended not to hear the teasing tone of the word "Dad": "Come back early - square dance?" What kind of senior hobby are yours? β
"What kind of old man, are you outdated," Shen Tianyun put on his pants and took out a pair of green socks: "The most popular now, the new fashion of the 30s!" β
The trend is really a cycle-watching Shen Tianyun lightly swing two poses, Xiao Yao thought to himself.
"You mean...... What kind of socks are you, why don't you have a sock tube? β
"What?" Shen Tianyun sat on the edge of the bed and pulled the other sock below her ankle: "This is a boat sock, also called invisible socks, who wears that kind of long socks now, the soil is dead." β
Xiao Yao said angrily: "I've never seen it!" You're ugly! β
Shen Tianyun put on the sneakers and stomped his feet gently: "Don't expose the edges of the socks, it looks like long legs, do you understand?" β
"Don't look at your phone when crossing the street, be careful when you go out!" Xiao Yao admonished.
"I know, I know, I'm gone."
"What a headache...... Xiao Yao held his head in his hands and lay on the table: "No, wait, don't I want a showdown?" β
