Help! She was caught up in crazy criticism

As the New Year approached, Ning Yuchu and Lian Xi moved back to Xiyuan Villa. The empty top floor was planted with large flowers, and there was a square table where they could make tea and chat, as well as comfortable lounge chairs and a swing.

Ning Yunjing was tricked by Chu Yubai into going to the Chu family for the New Year this year, so he did not spend the New Year with Ning Yuchu.

Wen Ci Li went to see his parents. His parents were not in the same condition as before, especially Liu Hanyan, who was now much gentler.

Shen Junyu was frightened by his mother's preaching, so he rushed to Hai City overnight to celebrate the New Year with them.

Zhu Qian has had a big appetite recently. She was so greedy after watching a video of people eating the night before that she kept thinking about eating hotpot. Ren Xu said that eating hotpot is not good for the body now. Although he said it in a soft voice, Zhu Qian hadn't heard him say no to her since she became pregnant, so she immediately felt aggrieved.

Ren Xu tried to coax her for an hour but failed. Although he wanted to agree to her request, he was worried that she would feel uncomfortable after eating, so he was very conflicted.

Zhu Qian called Ning Yuchu and said with sobs that she wanted to eat hotpot. Ren Xu would not let her eat it, so Ning Yuchu asked her to come to Xiyuan Villa tomorrow to celebrate New Year's Eve together. They would prepare hotpot and they could prepare several flavors so that pregnant women could also eat it. Only then did Zhu Qian smile.

Ren Xu called Lian Xi overnight and asked him to thank Ning Yuchu.

During her pregnancy, Zhu Qian's mood was up and down. When her mood was good, he was happy, and when her mood was bad, he was worried. Fortunately, Ning Yuchu was there every time. She would talk to Zhu Qian or have a meal with her, and Zhu Qian would feel better.

He now wishes he could move over to live with Ning Yuchu and Lian Xi. At least when Zhu Xi is in a bad mood, Ning Yuchu is there.

It was already midnight when Shen Junyu arrived. He fell asleep until noon, had lunch, and then went back to sleep for a while.

Zhu Xi became even more sleepy after her pregnancy. She felt drowsy after lunch and went upstairs to catch up on her sleep.

Si Jue had a lot of things to do at home, so he was in a hurry to have dinner and hadn't arrived yet.

They bought several kinds of soup bases for hot pot, but Zhu Xi had to cook her own. Taking into account her recent taste, Ning Yuchu prepared three flavors for her: a sour soup hot pot base, a mushroom hot pot base, and a slightly spicy hot pot base.

After lunch, Ren Xu and Lian Xi drove to the back of the manor to pick fresh vegetables and buy the necessary seasonings and dishes.

Ning Yuchu gave all the servants in the villa a holiday, so they had to cook their own meals during the New Year.

Although there was a light snow outside, the house was warm as spring and there was no sense of winter at all. Ning Yuchu was wearing a black knitted dress and had her long hair tied up and fixed with a sandalwood hairpin. This hairpin was made for her by Lian Xi herself and was made a few days ago.

She tied an apron and walked into the kitchen, which was clean and bright, and took out the meat and seafood to prepare for processing.

After cleaning the beef, slicing it, marinating it with marinade, and covering it with plastic wrap, everything is done in an orderly manner.

Shen Junyu came downstairs yawning. He was woken up by a phone call from Ren Xu, who asked him what dishes he wanted for hotpot.

Speaking of food, he felt a little thirsty, so he drank a glass of water and went downstairs. He glanced at the living room and saw that no one was there, so he went to the kitchen.

He usually doesn't do any housework, let alone cooking. He recognizes cooked food on the table, but he can't tell where the raw food is placed.

But in his opinion, Ning Yuchu is the type of person who would read a book while sipping tea, or sit at a desk to work. Cooking does not suit her.

But she stood there doing these things, and it didn't seem out of place.

He rolled up his sleeves, walked into the kitchen and asked her, "Do you need help?"

There were a lot of dishes in the kitchen and a lot of help was needed, so Ning Yuchu didn't hesitate.

“Can I peel garlic?”

Shen Junyu readily agreed, "Of course."

While peeling garlic, he watched Ning Yuchu cut it with ease. He felt that he had learned how to do it, and for a moment he was eager to try it.

"Do you have any extra cutting boards? I see there are a lot of vegetables, let me cut them too."

Ning Yuchu glanced at him and said, "Yes, have you ever cooked before?"

Shen Junyu: "No, but I want to give it a try."

Ning Yuchu: "It's okay to try, but since this is your first time cutting vegetables, just cut simple ones. I suggest you don't try cutting meat first."

Shen Junyu quickly tied an apron on himself. Ning Yuchu gave him a chopping board and a knife, peeled the white radish, and demonstrated to him how to cut it on the chopping board. After watching him cut a few pieces, he started to cut the meat.

When Shen Junyu saw Ning Yuchu cutting the radishes of equal size, he thought it was very simple. However, it was a different story when he started cutting himself. He was afraid of cutting his hand if he pressed too hard, and the radish would move away if he didn't. Therefore, he cut very slowly, but once he had picked up the knife, he couldn't say goodbye and stop cutting.

After Lian Xi and Ren Xu came back, Ren Xu went upstairs. Lian Xi saw that there was no one outside, so she guessed that Ning Yuchu went to the kitchen.

As a result, when I entered the kitchen, I saw Shen Junyu cutting vegetables with a ferocious face.

He put down the dishes in his hands and went to Ning Yuchu, took the kitchen knife from her hand, put hot water for her to wash her hands, and said softly: "We just passed by a bookstore, and it was still open. I went in and picked out a few books. You should like them. Go and take a look, okay?"

Lian Xi wiped her hands with a soft towel and untied her apron. "Leave it to us."

Usually when the servants are cooking, Lian Xi will also cook one or two dishes by himself. He likes to cook for Ning Yuchu and likes to watch her eat the food he cooks. Therefore, he will not let Ning Yuchu enter the kitchen when he is around.

Ning Yuchu went to the living room. He bought not only books, but also a soft white scarf with a cute cloud ornament on it.

I tried the scarf and it was very comfortable, but it is not suitable for indoor use because it is warm indoors and I feel hot when I put it on.

Just as I was about to pick up the book, I was slightly stunned when I saw the new Lego on the sofa.

She has a room dedicated to storing Lego and Sherlock Holmes peripherals. A few days ago, Lian Xi took her to watch an anime, which was also about Sherlock Holmes. There were slight changes in it, but the overall characters did not change much.

That anime has now released peripheral products, and Lian Xi pre-ordered the first batch, which was delivered today.

She put the book down and chose to build Lego first.

When Zhu Qian woke up, Ren Xu stayed with her and prepared a bunch of food for her, then went to the kitchen to help.

After Si Jue and Qin Huan arrived, they greeted Ning Yuchu and Zhu Qian and went straight to the kitchen.

As soon as I entered, I heard the three of them talking about having children.

Ren Xu was picking vegetables, and said with great joy, "I think both men and women are good, I love both."

Lian Xi was seasoning the food, frowning slightly, "I heard that having a child is dangerous, so I don't consider having a child."

Ren Xu was surprised. "Have you discussed this with your husband? Besides, if there are risks in childbirth, it's because of the lack of prenatal check-ups and malposition of the fetus. My Xixi is in very good condition right now."

Shen Junyu was picking leeks at the side. "You should have more children. With your wife's genes, the children will have the same intelligence, appearance, and character as her. They will be loved by everyone. Besides, my mother will definitely like them too."

Lian Xi glanced at him, her eyes sharper, "What do you mean by your mother likes it?"

Shen Junyu said frankly, "Doesn't my mother have high expectations of me? If your family has a child, and the child looks like your wife, my mother will think that my expectations are too high and she will not care about me anymore when she sees that I can't give birth to such a child."

Si Jue interrupted and said, "Your mother's high standards are because the people you brought in before were not from your circle, and some of them had ulterior motives."

"You are the only son of the Shen family and the future heir. Your wife will have a great influence on the prosperity of the family. If your mother is not strict and you choose one according to your own sexual interests, can your Shen family still be the Shen family?"

Ren Xu gave Si Jue a thumbs up, "My brother Jue is really awesome."

Shen Junyu rolled his eyes, "You don't understand at all, but your grandfather, Lian Xi, definitely understands. Let me put it this way, if Lian Xi wants to part ways with his wife one day, his grandfather will come out of his grave to complain about him."

"My mother is just too picky. There was a misunderstanding before, and she was so happy for nothing. Later, when the truth came out, she was envious and looked at me even more unfavorably. Otherwise, you two can quickly give birth to a daughter, and I will try to give birth to a son, and then the two families can become relatives..."

Lian Xi said angrily: "Go away, you are dreaming."

"With your behavior, I doubt your son's character. And you still want to marry my daughter? Get lost."

Ren Xu pulled Lian Xi's arm, his eyes full of brilliance, "I said you don't like Shen Junyu, but you can trust me, right? It should be okay for your daughter to marry my son, right?"

Si Jue smiled, and before Lian Xi could start scolding Ren Xu, he said, "Actually, you should consider my family more, right? Xiao Huan has a gentle personality, and she has great respect for President Ning. She will never suffer any loss in my family."

Lian Xi snorted coldly, "Your old man's style is not very good. Maybe it will be passed down to the next generation."

A few men were busy all afternoon arguing about something that didn't happen, and only sat together to eat hotpot around six o'clock.

The hot pot is emitting a hot aroma, and a group of close friends are sitting around chatting and laughing. There is white snow outside the door and the bustling life inside the house.

Halfway through the meal, Zhu Xi suggested taking a photo together as a souvenir, and everyone thought this was a good idea.

So I put down my bowl and chopsticks, set up the camera, raised my glass to the camera, and toasted my friends and my loved ones!

“May we have this day every year.”
