Chapter 10: The Conspiracy Continues
Soon the meal was ready, the dish was hearty, and the room was full of fragrance.
Xia Han and Director Sun frequently served vegetables to Li Peicheng, which made Li Peicheng, who had lost his parents at a very young age, feel a kind of homely warmth, slightly moved, and gradually integrated into this family that was still a stranger a moment ago.
"Auntie's sweet and sour pork ribs are first-class, crispy and sweet, and I can't compare to them. Li Peicheng praised.
"Haha!" When Director Sun heard this, he suddenly laughed happily and said, "It's still Xiao Li's eyesight!"
Seeing that Li Peicheng was a little stunned, Xia Han glanced at Director Sun, and said to Li Peicheng with a smile: "Look at your uncle's pride, this dish was cooked by your uncle." ”
"Ah! It turns out that my uncle is still a master in the cooking world!" Li Peicheng said in surprise.
"That's, uncle, I'm in the officialdom, in the kitchen, and I'm a well-rounded talent!"
Being praised by others for his cooking skills made Director Sun feel very good.
"Look at your beauty!" Xia Han glanced at Director Sun again, then sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in Li Peicheng's bowl, and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to your uncle, he will be a good dish!"
Director Sun laughed twice when he heard this, and said, "You are really, can't you save me some face?"
When Xia Han heard this, he said, "What to stay, Xiao Li is not an outsider!"
Xia Han's words made Li Peicheng, who had lost his parents since he was a child, tremble slightly, no matter whether Xia Han's words were true or polite, he accepted this feeling.
The enthusiasm shown by Director Sun and his wife for Li Peicheng made Sun Xiaoxuan very uncomfortable, especially when she heard Xia Han say this, her heart was even more happy.
The more Li Peicheng gets the love of her parents, the more she has a sense of crisis, and her hatred for Li Peicheng deepens.
It's a very strange psychology.
Sun Xiaoxuan's eyes kept rolling, she wanted to give this outsider who had won her parents' favor and discipline herself a lesson.
Sun Xiaoxuan's clever eyes flashed a sly gaze again.
Don't you want to take care of me? Don't you want to make money from my family? Okay, then I'm going to turn around and let you serve me and torture you.
"Listening to Mr. Li's tone, it seems that you can also cook vegetables?" asked Sun Xiaoxuan.
At this time, Xia Han and Director Sun also recalled that Li Peicheng had just said that he couldn't catch up with the horse, so they both set their eyes on Li Peicheng.
Li Peicheng nodded and said, "Yes, but it's far worse than my aunt and uncle." ”
Li Peicheng's words are actually a bit modest. He has been very sensible since he was a child, his grandfather is old, his eyes are not good, he often makes mistakes about salt, monosodium glutamate or something, and the oil is smoky, so Li Peicheng began to take charge of the spoon at a very young age.
His best dishes are mainly crucian carp, river shrimp, snails, and a dish that is also sweet and sour pork ribs like Director Sun.
It turned out that Li Peicheng's family was poor, so he often went to the river to dig snails, catch shrimp and fish, so as to save money for buying vegetables, so over time, these three dishes were cooked very delicious. As for the sweet and sour pork ribs that are cooked well, it is because the meat is expensive, Li Peicheng is afraid of wasting good materials, so he once consulted the masters in the village and worked hard.
"Teacher Li really knows how to cook, great, so that I don't have to eat fast food at noon in the future, and there are instant noodles!" Sun Xiaoxuan said happily clapping her hands.
"You girl, Xiao Li is here to make up for you, how can you trouble him to prepare lunch for you?" Xia Han blamed, but she could hear that there was still a hint of expectation in her tone, after all, her daughter was home alone during the summer vacation, and eating fast food and instant noodles every day made her feel distressed and helpless, and it was still time to grow up.
It would be nice if Xiao Li could help cook a few dishes at noon and eat them with Xuanxuan, Xia Han thought secretly.
"Why not? The tutoring time is from half past eight to eleven o'clock, anyway, Teacher Li has to eat when he goes back to school, why don't you eat at our house?"
Saying that, Sun Xiaoxuan shook Li Peicheng's arm pitifully, and said, "Teacher Li, can you, please!"
Xia Han and Director Sun suddenly felt sad when they saw Sun Xiaoxuan shaking Li Peicheng's arm constantly.
Maybe she wouldn't be so named, and she wouldn't want to go out all day because she was lonely, the two sighed secretly.
Alas, while family planning saved China, it also made the people of the 80s a lonely generation without brothers and sisters.
Director Sun wanted to open his mouth to reproach Sun Xiaoxuan, but his mouth opened and closed again.
Li Peicheng smelled the smell of conspiracy again, but he was full of affection for Director Sun and his wife. And although Sun Xiaoxuan has some surnames and conspiracies, Li Peicheng can't have a sense of disgust for her. even knew that Sun Xiaoxuan's pitiful gaze flashed in her moving eyes, and her real intention was to turn him Li Peicheng into a servant. But Li Peicheng still couldn't help but feel a little pity for her!
"No problem, but you can't blame me for not being delicious!" Li Peicheng said to Sun Xiaoxuan.
Sun Xiaoxuan's face showed a smug smile of successful conspiracy, hehe, Miss Ben doesn't care if it's delicious or not, I just like to see you wash and cook vegetables for me and serve me!
"Xiao Li, this is too troublesome for you!" Xia Han said with some embarrassment, after all, Li Peicheng's other identity is Professor He's protégé.
"Hehe, Auntie is polite, in this way, I can not only borrow your kitchen to practice cooking, but also eat every day!" Li Peicheng half-jokingly.
Sun Xiaoxuan's eyes rolled and said, "Mom, if you are really afraid of trouble, even if the money is given to Teacher Li!"
Hehe, if you count the money, you don't burn it well, Miss Ben wants you to burn it again, until you are satisfied, and then you will still be stunned, Sun Xiaoxuan is secretly proud of her wit.
Li Peicheng's face changed slightly, although he was short of money, he still had a clear distinction between favor and work. The money for tutoring is what he deserves, but preparing lunch is his face to sell Director Sun's family.
Director Sun didn't notice the change in Li Peicheng's expression, and it was very unpleasant to ask Li Peicheng to cook for his daughter as a graduate student, and he knew that Li Peicheng's family was poor, so he thought his daughter's proposal was very good. So he said: "Xuanxuan is right, it should be counted as money!"
Director Sun just wanted to say a number, but Xia Han kicked him, and he found that Li Peicheng's face was a little unsightly.
"If my uncle wants to count the money, I'll go back to school for lunch!" Li Peicheng said.
"Xiao Li, don't pay attention to your uncle, his head is rusty when he is an official, and you are not an outsider!" Xia Han glanced at Director Sun.
"Yes, yes, officialdom pays the most attention to interests, and my uncle is confused!" Director Sun did not blame Li Peicheng at all, but felt more and more that Li Peicheng was a good person. At the same time, he secretly blamed himself for being confused, and he didn't need to tell if he wanted to count the money, and he just gave more money to the tutor when the time came.
Li Peicheng saw that Director Sun and his wife cared about him so much, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared immediately.
Because of a few more words, Li Peicheng will become the main man of the family at noon in the two months of summer vacation.
Hypocrites, fake Qinggao!
Sun Xiaoxuan was very unhappy when she saw that the proposal to give money was rejected. You must know that giving money is completely different from not giving money! If you give money, she, Sun Xiaoxuan, can point fingers at Li Peicheng and treat him as a male servant, but if she doesn't give money, she can only let Li Peicheng do more work in the kitchen, but she lacks the momentum and command of the condescending and hostess.
But fortunately, Li Peicheng finally calculated it, not only did he not have to go out to eat unpalatable fast food and nasty instant noodles in the future, but he could also cross Erlang's legs, looking at the tutor teacher, a big man running in and out of the kitchen, it was beautiful to think about, so overall, Sun Xiaoxuan was still very happy.
