Let Xiaoxi serve you
"A few days ago, we were eating instant noodles when Xiao Xi came over. She said she used to cook for Chen Feng all the time and decided to cook at home that day. The food was really delicious, so I want to learn how to cook too. Why should she be able to do it and not me? An Hao isn't trying to tattle, she's just unhappy about it."
Mother Ou understood the implication of An's words as soon as she heard them. This child was jealous of Xiao Xi. However, she thought there was nothing wrong with that. It wasn't wrong for a woman to be jealous when other women approached her man. There was no reason to let other women enter their home and just watch stupidly.
"Alright, Mom is making a few dishes that Chen Feng loves to eat today, you watch from the side." Ou Mama put on an apron and prepared to cook personally.
"What does Chen Feng like to eat?" An Hao asked excitedly, she was originally afraid that her mother-in-law would not agree, but unexpectedly agreed so quickly. This mother-in-law seems to be a capable and strong woman on the surface, but actually is quite easy-going!
"He's got braised pork belly, black pepper beef, pineapple fried pork chop, and braised chicken wings."
"It's really true that there's no joy without meat." An Hao smiled and watched as Mama Ou prepared.
"They two brothers, since childhood have been difficult to serve, you see now they both become mature and steady, when they were young don't even mention how mischievous they were." European mother's mouth although complaining, but is with a smile on her face.
"It's great to have a mom who cooks." Perhaps infected by Ou Mama's maternal love, An Hao couldn't help but exclaim.
It wasn't until now that Ou Mama remembered what An Hao had said before - his mother had passed away.
"When did your mother pass away?" asked Auntie Ou.
"When I was six years old." Memories of my childhood came flooding back, and all the good feelings were gone. My heart was filled with a sense of loss, and it also made her hate the underworld even more.
Seeing the dense sorrow on An Hao's face, Mother Ou didn't continue asking questions. As a mother herself, she understood the child's longing for his mother, so she sincerely said: "What dish do you love to eat? Mom will make it for you today."
"Ah, I thought for a moment and replied: 'Hmm, I'm not picky about food, but I love eating fish.'"
"Eating fish is good for the body and also beautifies, just in time there's a live carp, do you want to eat it braised, steamed, boiled or sweet and sour?" Mother Ou recited a string of ways to cook fish.
"I love sour and sweet things."
"Alright, then sweet and sour it is."
"Thank you." It's a lie to say she wasn't moved, she had lost her mother since she was young, and although her father doted on her, he was busy with his business and couldn't personally cook for her. Her daily life and meals were all taken care of by the servants.
"What's with the thanks? You're not my mom anymore?!" Yu Mama said with a smile and a hint of complaint, before hurrying to start cooking.
In the process of cooking, An Hao stood beside her mother-in-law, occasionally handing over soy sauce, vinegar or cooking wine. The two women were busy in the kitchen but got along quite harmoniously.
"What's going on?" After chatting with Grandpa Ou Chenfeng, he came to the kitchen and saw such a scene of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooking together.
"Learn how to cook." An Hao replied with a pleased smile.
"Are you learning to cook? But it's about time, otherwise when someone kindly lets Chen Mama go home and rest, I'll have to eat instant noodles again." Ou Chenfeng sarcastically teased her.
"Cut it out, let Xiaoxi cook for you, she cooks pretty well." An Hao said with a nonchalant suggestion.
The aunt listened to the two of them bickering, her head bowed in secret laughter. This girl was clearly consumed with jealousy, yet still spoke so boldly.
