I heard you are a junior

Zhong Yuxiao is a little obsessed with cooking.

From electric saucepans to electric frying pans, from bread machines to ovens, there are some onion cutting scissors, hand guards, peeling gloves, dumpling wrappers and other messy things.

Liu Jinya watched helplessly as these things filled the kitchen cabinets, and in Zhong Baobao's hands...

become waste.

"Baby..." When Zhong Yuxiao was tinkering with the new automatic cooking pot, Liu Jinya couldn't stand it anymore, "I'll teach you what you want to do, you don't need these things."

Zhong Yuxiao glanced at her with a deep meaning in his eyes.

Liu Jinya was discouraged.

Her cooking skills have always been at an average level. Occasionally, she can perform exceptionally well and produce a particularly delicious dish. In most cases, she eats happily alone. sentence.

Although Zhong Yuxiao is not picky about food, he still has the minimum ability to distinguish whether it is delicious or not.

"It doesn't matter if you don't study, this time... isn't auntie not going home for the New Year?" Liu Jinya didn't have the confidence to cook, so she changed her words and pressed Zhong Yuxiao's hand that was about to unpack.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Liu Jinya's mother finally came back from Q City.

The old house is sold, the retirement is settled, Xu Rongyuan is imprisoned for his father's case, and he meets a friend who can chat with Uncle Wang... Liu's mother bought an existing house in Q City with her savings and compensation. Fleeing the wind and rain, he started another life of enjoyment. He has no nostalgia for L City, and the only thing he cares about is Liu Jinya.

Liu Jinya didn't want her mother to worry, so she set off to look for a job after Yaqiu Qingmeng's resignation procedures were completed. The resume of Company Z, the professional skills learned in the financial department and the success of investment gave her a lot of confidence. Liu Jinya went through interviews with several companies, chose one of the companies not far from home, and applied immediately. Hi, let my mother live a free life in Q City with peace of mind.

After being safe for half a year, something embarrassing happened.

Liu Jinya thought that Zhong Yuxiao was with her in the hospital last year, and this year she must be at home. Zhong Yuxiao felt that her mother and aunt's family could live together, but after so much wind and rain, there was no one close to her.

They were not too embarrassed. The Zhong family thoughtfully expressed that they could go to Q city for a trip, but Liu's mother was so sorry that she found an excuse of "missing her hometown" and planned to accompany her daughter to Zhong's house for a reunion dinner.

As soon as this decision was made, Liu Jinya felt that everyone was happy, Zhong Yuxiao was happy, and started to plan the New Year's Eve dinner.

Mom and Dad are here, and my mother-in-law is here.

What a great showcase opportunity.

"Auntie cooks, so I can do it too." Zhong Yuxiao still insisted, "The New Year's Eve dinner pays attention to the heart, even if I only cook one dish, Auntie thinks that I will cook and take care of you, so she will feel at ease."

Liu Jinya was defeated, "Okay, but don't use a frying pan, it won't look good after stirring."

Zhong Yuxiao said honestly, "It looks better than blurred."

"...Believe in yourself, okay?" Liu Jinya smiled helplessly, "Come on, let me help you search for tutorials, what kind of dishes do you want?"

"Small fried pork."

Liu Jinya paused while typing on the mobile phone, looked at Zhong Yuxiao's serious expression, and felt that there was a kind of cuteness and stubbornness in this seriousness that took her to heart--I heard her call with her mother on the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. A little fried pork, I remember it until now...

"Okay." Liu Jinya put down her phone, "I remember how my mother did it, so I'll teach you directly."

Zhong Yuxiao said "Yes", took the apron to help her put it on, lowered her head and kissed her between the eyebrows, "Jinya is really amazing."

"You..." The two of them are busy near the end of the year, and there is less time to see each other. Liu Jinya cherishes this rare weekend without working overtime. How about acting like a baby? Mom likes cute girls."

Zhong Yu smiled sternly, "It's over, I'm not cute."

"Hey! Cook!" Liu Jinya helped to tie the lace of the apron, looking for a chance to rub it.

Zhong Yuxiao agreed, and began to cut the meat in a serious manner.

Liu Jinya helped find the bean paste sent by her mother last time. Hearing the regular sound of meat being cut, she didn't think much about it. When she looked up, she found that each slice was too thick to see.

Zhong Yuxiao looked over with panicked eyes, "What's wrong."

"...It's okay." Liu Jinya swallowed the words abruptly, "It's fine, put it on a plate."

Zhong Yuxiao frowned, "Did I cut it poorly?"

Knowing that lying can't be fooled, Liu Jinya thought for a moment, and said in a tactful way, "Let's just cut it off, learn from experience, and work harder next time."

"No, start over." Zhong Yuxiao took out a second bag of pork from the shopping bag.

Liu Jinya felt that something was wrong, so she leaned over and looked it over, and found that it was full of ingredients, which could make a table of fried pork, "Xiaoxiao...do you plan to make it until you are satisfied?"

"Ah."

Liu Jinya somehow thought of the row full of books in Zhong Yuxiao's study, and also thought of Zhong Yuxiao asking his assistant to dig out all the company's past materials when he came into contact with an inexperienced project. Study the situation late at night.

She admired, but also distressed.

Out of selfishness, Liu Jinya muddled through when teaching cooking. As the only person to try the food, she said all the bad things lightly, and she boasted to death by grabbing a good point.

Zhong Yuxiao was silent the whole time, and only managed to say, "It's fine if you like it."

Liu Jinya understood, and privately sent messages to the elders,

Interestingly, the two mothers agreed readily, and Father Zhong's chat box showed that he had been typing for a long time, just like when Zhong Yuxiao couldn't play WeChat at the beginning, he sent a very ugly system default smiley.

biological.

Liu Jinya snickered, but also expected how Papa Zhong would praise Zhong Yuxiao.

On New Year's Eve, Zhong Yuxiao accompanied her to the station to pick up her mother, and went straight back to her parents' house.When the two elders met for the first time, Ms. Liu was quite embarrassed. Fortunately, Ms. Zhong had a more cheerful personality. She held hands and asked about the situation in Q City affectionately.

"Have you bought food?" Zhong Yuxiao asked the aunt who was pouring tea.

The aunt nodded and said in a coaxing tone, "I bought it and put it on the second floor of the refrigerator for you. Be careful when cutting meat."

Liu Jinya was stunned.

"Auntie took me before," Zhong Yuxiao explained awkwardly, "I always thought I was young."

"Yeah." Liu Jinya smiled, and silently swallowed the words "You were like a child who wanted candy when you asked your auntie".

When it was almost time, Zhong Yuxiao went to the kitchen to cook with her aunt, and the two mothers followed, remembering Liu Jinya's advice, and spontaneously performed a big show of praise, "It's so well cut", "Wear an apron It's beautiful too", "And how do I do it? Oh, that's right...it's amazing".

Liu Jinya was amazed.

The real killer move is still with Papa Zhong.

"It's so delicious." Zhong's father said this sentence with a smile.

Zhong Yuxiao didn't give face this time, "Don't lie."

"I'm not lying, it's delicious."

Zhong Yuxiao reflected on himself blankly, "The chili is burnt, the meat is overcooked, and it tastes too salty."

Papa Zhong snorted, "Everyone has different tastes, I just think it's delicious, what's the problem?"

The others were taken aback when they heard this—is this a compliment, or is it a debate?

"Oh, no." Zhong Yuxiao conceded defeat and lowered her head sullenly to eat her own meal.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Papa Zhong put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat and called out solemnly, "Xiaoxiao."

"Huh?" Zhong Yuxiao took a breath, and raised her eyes to look at her father holding back her impatience.

"I don't praise others, but I don't lie either." Papa Zhong said slowly, "I didn't fulfill my father's responsibility when you had a fever. I only cared about my work. I'm sorry."

Zhong Yuxiao looked away, scanned around the tablemates who were looking at each other, and settled on Liu Jinya.

Liu Jinya secretly held Zhong Yuxiao's hand under the table.

Zhong Yuxiao sighed silently, finally pulled out a smile, and said to her father, "It's okay, let's eat."

"You've done a good job with the X Group's project." Zhong's father got his daughter's support, and he continued naturally, "You have the ability to manage G company. I'm old, and I should be ready to retire."

Zhong Yuxiao seldom gets compliments, but now not only has he been praised, but he has also been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so he can't help but look at his father who is always dignified in amazement.

"Okay, let's talk about work after work." Father Zhong readily took a chopstick of Zhong Yuxiao's fried pork.

Zhong Yuxiao said in a low voice, "You...don't eat it, there is too much oil and salt, be careful that your blood pressure will rise again."

Papa Zhong smiled, "Occasionally, it doesn't matter."

"No..." Zhong Yuxiao was anxious, and her tone of voice was a little rushed.

Liu Jinya squeezed Zhong Yuxiao's palm, and the hooked fingers felt a little itchy.

Zhong Yuxiao calmed down, and her muffled voice sounded a little coquettish, "Not even once."

Papa Zhong was stunned for a moment, then raised a smiling face, his face wrinkled regardless of his image, and he was so excited that he stuttered, "Okay, I'll eat something that is good for your health."

"That's right, he won't listen to what I say." Mama Zhong helped to agree.

The New Year's Eve dinner was finally enjoyable.

Liu Jinya was relieved, let go of her hands and had a good meal, just picked up the chopsticks and saw Zhong Yuxiao hooking her hands, and leaned over to hear a vaguely angry question,

"You told my dad to lie?"

Liu Jinya was stunned, "No way, uncle wants to praise you from the bottom of his heart."

Zhong Yuxiao snorted coldly, lowered his head and took a sip of the soup.

Liu Jinya poked under the table carefully, wanting to ask for some forgiveness, Zhong Yuxiao was drinking soup on the face, but the left hand hidden under the table climbed up and wandered carelessly, and when she relaxed, a murder came. Move, Liu Jinya trembled all over, almost bit her lip, blushed and shrunk to push to block it, firmly holding on to the hem of her skirt and not daring to move.

"Xiaoya?" Mom asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Liu Jinya bowed her head and folded her legs, she was about to cry.

Zhong Yuxiao didn't panic at all, and took out the mobile phone in her pocket, "Here is the mobile phone."

Liu Jinya gritted her teeth, "Thank you."

Zhong Yuxiao withdrew her hand and smiled lightly, "You're welcome."
