After a night of thinking, Jiang Yifan finally agreed to have dinner with Ji Xiuyu's brother and sister-in-law the next night.

Although the two decided to date the night before, he would feel too nervous to meet now.But they all took the initiative to invite him, it would be bad if he refused, not only would it be impolite, but it would also embarrass Ji Xiuyu.

Besides, through the radio waves, Jiang Yifan could also feel how happy Ji Xiuyu on the other end of the phone was after hearing his answer, so much so that his original nervousness also dissipated a lot.

"Then I'll call you before I pick you up at night." Ji Xiuyu asked again, "Is your leg okay? Will it be sore?"

When Jiang Yifan heard the words, the hand that was pinching the leg paused for a moment, and then continued pinching while laughing, "Fortunately, I don't usually exercise too much. I will go out to buy some food later, and I happen to do some exercise too."

"Well, if it's really uncomfortable, soak it in hot water, okay?"

"Understood, I won't tell you first, I'm going to buy vegetables, or it will be noon later."

"Okay then, you go shopping for vegetables, see you tonight, bye."

"See you tonight, bye."

After Jiang Yifan hung up the phone, Ji Xiuyu hung up.Then he immediately called his brother to inform him, and then went to the branch store that was being renovated.

Here, after Jiang Yifan cleaned himself up, he went to the nearby supermarket to buy vegetables.When he got home, Jiang Xiaodi had already gotten up and was sitting on the sofa, drinking water and eating biscuits while watching TV.

As soon as Jiang Yifan came back, Little Brother Jiang immediately put the few biscuits in his mouth, and then ran over to help him carry the food.

"You're finally back! I'm starving to death!" Jiang Xiaodi took the food into the kitchen and asked his brother, "What's for lunch?"

Jiang Yifan wiped his sweat with a wet towel while flipping through the vegetables he bought, "I'm going to make noodles with fried sauce, do you want to eat it?"

Brother Jiang nodded, "I'm fine, what do I need to do?"

Jiang Yifan took out all the side dishes to be used, "You want to help me wash the vegetables."

"it is good."

Brother Jiang responded, and then put those carrots and cucumbers into the vegetable sink, and cleaned them carefully with the tap on.On the other hand, Jiang Yifan cleaned up a piece of pork belly that he bought, put it into a stew pot, and then put in cinnamon, star anise and other big ingredients and an appropriate amount of water to stew together.

Jiang Yifan shredded the carrots and cucumbers that Brother Jiang had washed, and asked Brother Jiang to blanch the wheat beans and soybean sprouts in water, and then took out two bowls of cold noodles.

Jiang Yifan bought the kind of handmade noodles from the supermarket. After the water boiled, add some salt and cook it under the surface, then take out the filtered water, then run through the cold water, drain the water and put it in a bowl.Then arrange shredded carrots, shredded cucumbers, green beans and soybean sprouts on the noodles in turn.

Half an hour later, the meat is almost stewed.Jiang Yifan cut the meat into dices, then took a large bowl, added soybean paste, sweet noodle sauce, and sesame paste into it according to the ratio of 3:2:1, and then added the soup of the stewed meat just now and stirred them evenly.

Brother Jiang sniffed his nose beside him, "It smells so good!"

Jiang Yifan smiled, turned on the fire, heated up the pot and poured in cooking oil, then added an star anise and stir-fried for a while, then added onion, ginger and garlic. Into the prepared sauce.

As soon as the sauce was poured into the pot, the delicious aroma made Jiang Xiaodi swallow. He looked at the pot and asked, "Brother, is there too much oil?"

Jiang Yifan smiled and said, "No, this oil will be useful later."

Stir the sauce evenly, Jiang Yifan turned off the fire, then scooped up the layer of oil on the surface of the sauce with a spoon and poured it on the scooped noodles, and finally poured the sauce on top.

The delicious fried sauce noodles have already whetted Jiang's appetite. He couldn't wait to take a bite with chopsticks, and then gave his big brother a thumbs up, "It's delicious, my brother is great!"

Jiang Yifan, who was washing the pot, trembled when he heard the words, and said dissatisfiedly, "I made this noodle, what are you praising him for? Also, can you not call him brother-in-law! Aren't you awkward?"

Brother Jiang held the noodles while eating and said, "How could you do it without my brother-in-law teaching you? Of course, I should give credit to my brother-in-law. As for the title 'brother', he himself has no objection." , why do you have an opinion?"

"..." Jiang Yifan shook off the water in his hand, and immediately snatched the noodles that Jiang Xiaodi was eating.

Brother Jiang swallowed the noodles in his mouth, held his chopsticks and looked at his brother in confusion, "What are you doing? This bowl is mine, and yours is over there." He pointed to the fried sauce on the counter behind him. noodle.

Jiang Yifan moved his face away, avoiding the hand extended by Jiang Xiaodi, "Do you want to eat?"

Brother Jiang nodded, isn't this nonsense?I am eating happily!

Jiang Yifan smiled kindly, "If you want to eat, I don't want to hear the word 'Brother' again, how about it?"

"..." Jiang Yihang was a little entangled when he heard the words, it's not good at all, okay?

Although Jiang Xiaodi felt that the title "brother" was really nothing, but if he didn't agree to it at noon, he would be hungry.It would be fine if he was hungry or just ate casually before, but recently his mouth has been sucked.So in the end, under the lure of delicious food, Brother Jiang promised to change his name to Ji Xiuyu as "Brother Ji."

After lunch, Jiang Xiaodi took the initiative to wash the dishes. After washing, he took Jiang Yifan to play video games in the living room.

While playing, Jiang Yifan suddenly felt as if he hadn't done anything.After absent-mindedly playing another round, Jiang Yifan finally remembered what he had neglected—he forgot to buy a gift.

Since he was going to Ji Xiuyu's elder brother's house at night, he couldn't go there empty-handed, not to mention that he went there as Ji Xiuyu's object.So Jiang Yifan stopped playing video games, and dragged Jiang Xiaodi out of the house without saying a word.

"Brother, we've been shopping for a while, have you decided what to buy yet?" Brother Jiang, who doesn't like shopping very much, has reached the limit of his patience.

But Jiang Yifan still looked confused, "I don't know what they like and what they don't like, what if they don't like it after buying it?"

"..." Brother Jiang sighed weakly, "So, didn't I ask you to call Brother... er, Brother Ji?"

Jiang Yifan shook his head, "No, it's too embarrassing."

"..." Brother Jiang didn't know what to say anymore.

After visiting a few more streets, Brother Jiang suggested, "Brother Ji has a little nephew? Then you can buy some toys for his little niece, and then buy some food?"

Jiang Yifan thought about it, adults don't know what they like, and it's not easy to buy, but children's toys are quite easy to sell.

So the two came to the toy store, and Jiang Xiaodi asked while looking at it, "How old is the child?"

"Well, it seems that he heard it once, when he was one or two years old or two or three years old."

"Huh? So young?" Little Brother Jiang asked curiously, "How old is the difference between Big Brother Ji and his big brother?"

Jiang Yifan thought for a while and said, "His brother must be in his thirties. Master said his brother married late and had children late."

"Oh, that's pretty normal, too."

The two chatted and watched, and finally bought two toys, and then went to buy a piece of fruit and some food for gifts.

When I got home, it was past five o'clock.Jiang Yifan hurriedly went to take a shower, and then had trouble picking clothes again, he didn't know which one to wear better.

Brother Jiang sat back on the chair and gnawed on an apple while watching his brother stare blankly at the mess of clothes.

"Brother, you are really enough!" Jiang Xiaodi raised his head, and the apple core slid through a parabola, and accurately entered the trash basket.

"I said it's just a meal. Shall I meet Brother Ji's brother? You've seen his mother. What's so nervous about his brother? Can you stop whimpering like a girl? I've seen it all You have a big head! You just need to dress decently, why are you like this?"

After being told by his younger brother, Jiang Yifan also felt that he was too condescending, so he sorted out his mentality, and finally chose the formal and casual suit he usually wears.

After it was almost finished, Ji Xiuyu also called to say that he was on the way. Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Yifan cooked fried noodles for Jiang Xiaodi for dinner.

About half an hour later, Ji Xiuyu called Jiang Yifan again and said that he was already downstairs, so Jiang Yifan said goodbye to Brother Jiang with the gift he had bought, and then went downstairs.

When he got downstairs, Jiang Yifan immediately saw Ji Xiuyu standing by the car waiting for him, dressed differently from his usual casual fashion.This time, he wore a well-tailored black suit that could better show off his figure advantages, and his hair was carefully taken care of. He looked more mature and stable than usual.

Ji Xiuyu also saw at a glance what changes Jiang Yifan had made for tonight's dinner. He couldn't help but wonder, did this prove that he had a certain weight in his heart, and that's why he paid so much attention to this dinner?

Jiang Yifan walked up to Ji Xiuyu, a little embarrassed and uncomfortable to meet his undisguised gaze, and couldn't help but look elsewhere, "Look at me, get in the car!"

Ji Xiuyu smiled and stretched out his hand, helped him straighten his warped collar, and whispered in his ear, "He's pretty handsome!"

Jiang Yifan covered his reddened ears with his hand, pushed Ji Xiuyu away, hit the taxi door and got into the car in a hurry.

Ji Xiuyu was secretly amused like a mouse. After he got into the car, he started the car and asked, "What are you holding?"

Jiang Yifan looked down at the things in the packing bag in his arms and replied, "Meeting ceremony, how bad it is to go empty-handed!"

Ji Xiuyu laughed, "You go there empty-handed, and my brother and sister-in-law won't say anything."

"No, this is necessary." Jiang Yifan insisted.

Ji Xiuyu smiled and didn't say anything. It's great that his apprentice is so self-conscious!

It took about four to ten minutes to drive, and finally stopped in a residential area in the suburbs.The houses in the community here are basically independent villas with two floors and a small attic. The distance between each villa is also very reasonable, not too close, and not too cold.Moreover, the greening here is very good, and the air is not bad. You can tell at a glance that the housing prices here are not that cheap.

After driving the car to the underground parking lot and parking it, Ji Xiuyu took Jiang Yifan to the house where his eldest brother and sister-in-law lived.Ji Xiuyu rang the doorbell, turned to look at the nervous Jiang Yifan, reached out to shake his hand, and comforted him with a smile, "Don't be too nervous, we're all at the gate."

Jiang Yifan pulled the corner of his mouth stiffly, he was only nervous when he got to the gate!

The doorbell rang a few times, and soon the door was opened, and a delicate and quiet woman with light makeup appeared at the door, holding a very cute little boy about one or two years old in her arms.

Ji Xiuyu's sister-in-law Huang Yaxian smiled and said, "Are you here?"

As soon as the child saw Ji Xiuyu, he stretched out his hand for a hug, "Uncle~"

Ji Xiuyu reached out and hugged his little nephew, looked at Jiang Yifan who was beside him and introduced, "Sister-in-law, this is Jiang Yifan, my date."

Jiang Yifan, who was already in a state of nervousness, became even more nervous when he heard Ji Xiuyu's introduction. He lowered his head slightly, handed over the gift with both hands, and said with a blushing face, "Hi sister-in-law!"

As soon as the words came out, the three of them were stunned for a moment, Ji Xiuyu laughed first, and Jiang Yifan was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head.

Huang Yaxian took the two gift bags from Jiang Yifan's hand with a gentle smile, "You're too polite, they are all from my own family, so come and bring any gifts. Well, come in first, your elder brother eats and buys drinks Yes, I'll be right back."

Jiang Yifan was startled by Huang Yaxian's words "my family", and then followed Ji Xiuyu into the door with some hesitation.

"I don't know what to do tonight. Xiaoyu said he wanted to eat hot pot, so he made hot pot. Yifan, don't you mind?" Huang Yaxian asked with a smile.

Jiang Yifan shook his head quickly, "No, I'm not picky about food, I can eat anything."

Huang Yaxian poured them two glasses of water, "Don't be so nervous, just treat this place as your own home, okay?"

"Okay." Jiang Yifan nodded while holding the cup, "Thank you... sister-in-law..." After careful consideration, Jiang Yifan still called sister-in-law.Because she is an elder, it would be impolite not to address her, and at her age he didn't know how to address her, plus his relationship with Ji Xiuyu, it seemed that it was only right to follow "sister-in-law".

Ji Xiuyu glanced at Jiang Yifan appreciatively, and he really had the consciousness of being a "family member".

Huang Yaxian was very satisfied with Jiang Yifan, looking at the way Ji Xiuyu looked at him, she really believed that he had let go of the fruitless relationship in the past.

"You guys do the meeting first, I still haven't finished ordering." Huang Yaxian was about to go to the kitchen after speaking.

Jiang Yifan quickly stood up and asked, "Do you want my help?"

Huang Yaxian waved her hand, "No, no, you and Xiaoyu can play with Xiaobao."

Ji Xiuyu held his little nephew in his arms, grabbed his two fleshy hands and waved to Jiang Yifan, deliberately speaking in a childish voice, "Xiaobao Xiaobao, this is your little aunt~"

Jiang Yifan was embarrassed, and tried to dissuade him in a low voice, "What nonsense!"

"Little treasure, call me uncle~" Jiang Yifan coaxed out a car and a Transformer that he sold to him.

As soon as the child saw the toy, he wanted to crawl into Jiang Yifan's arms, but unfortunately he was caught by Ji Xiuyu and couldn't crawl.Xiaobao was a little anxious, kicking his legs wildly, and babbling some words that adults could not understand.

Jiang Yifan couldn't stand it anymore, so he snatched Xiaobao and hugged him, "Is there anyone who treats my nephew like this? It's not a cat or a dog!"

"Children at this age are the most fun." Ji Xiuyu looked at the big and small who were interacting with each other with a satisfied expression on his face.

Suddenly, Ji Xiuyu took out a candy from his trouser pocket and shook it in front of Xiaobao, Xiaobao's attention was immediately attracted, he dropped the toy, crawled back to Ji Xiuyu's side, and was about to snatch the candy from his hand .

Ji Xiuyu protected his little nephew with one hand to prevent him from falling, while shaking the candy in his hand, he asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Xiao Bao nodded, and said in a childish voice, "Yes~"

Ji Xiuyu smiled, "Then who am I?"

Xiao Bao stared at Candy and said, "Uncle~"

Ji Xiuyu pointed to Jiang Yifan again, "Who is that?"

Xiaobao turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yifan, then looked back at Candy, and said affirmatively, "Uncle~"

Ji Xiuyu smiled wickedly, "That's not right, I have to call 'Auntie', or I won't give it to you?"

Jiang Yifan couldn't take back his smile because of the "uncle", but was almost stunned by Ji Xiuyu's words.

For the sake of candy, Xiaobao has a strong learning ability and called out the word "Auntie" very standardly.

Jiang Yifan twitched the corner of his mouth feebly.

But Ji Xiuyu didn't give up. He pointed at himself and Jiang Yifan back and forth and asked his little nephew to call someone. He didn't give Xiaobao candy until he saw Jiang Yifan and called him "Auntie".

Xiao Bao got the candy and was very happy.He crawled up to Jiang Yifan, handed the candy to Jiang Yifan, then sat and looked at him with wide eyes, and said very obediently, "Auntie~open~"

Jiang Yifan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Ji Xiuyu laughed happily. Even after Jiang Yifan's "eye knife" several times, he didn't restrain his laughter.

Jiang Yifan carefully crushed the candies, then picked small pieces and fed them to Xiaobao.Because he took care of Jiang Xiaodi when he was a child, he is very familiar with these things.

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Jiang Yifan turned his head to look over, and he could tell that this was Ji Xiuyu's brother, because the looks of the two of them were quite imaginable, especially the eyebrows and eyes.

Ji Xiuyu's elder brother Ji Xiuwen and Jiang Yifan met each other and smiled.

Jiang Yifan quickly stood up and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Jiang Yifan."

Ji Xiuwen nodded, and was about to speak, but Xiaobao took Jiang Yifan's hand, raised his head anxiously, "Auntie~Tang~"

Ji Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It seems that Xiaobao likes you very much."

Jiang Yifan was slightly embarrassed, and secretly glanced at someone who was still laughing without helping him.

Fortunately, at this time, Huang Yaxian also finished the work. She came to pick up Xiaobao who still wanted to eat sweets, and asked them to sit down and start eating hot pot.

Jiang Yifan and Ji Xiuyu walked behind, Jiang Yifan said in a low voice, "Do you really like to see my jokes?"

Ji Xiuyu was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why? I like to see you laugh, and I also like to see you talk, but I don't like to see you joke."

Jiang Yifan opened his eyes slightly, "..." Can you stop saying such love-like words so naturally!
