Chapter 869 Is This an Invitation?

Xu Xiaoen thought Cheng Hanyu was perfect and had no shortcomings.

But looking at the table of food in front of her, she felt very overwhelmed.

"Ahem, cough, cough. The appearance is quite average, but the taste is actually okay. Can you try it?" Cheng Hanyu coughed lightly when Xu Xiaoen said nothing, and added a little arrogantly, although he had already tasted too many dishes in the end. I couldn’t taste it, but Jiji said it was delicious.

It is naturally impossible for a child to lie.

Xu Xiaoen looked at the various dishes on the table that were unrecognizable, and secretly thought that they were quite ordinary.

But since the men said it tasted okay, she would... give it a try.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoen took out a pair of chopsticks, but was a little hesitant about which plate to pick. Jiji volunteered and stepped forward, "Mom, this is the dry stir-fried beans made by my uncle. It is very crispy and delicious."

Xu Xiaoen stared blankly at the plate of dark 'stir-fried beans' that Jiji mentioned, "Is it very crispy?"

This is the first time I know that stir-fried green beans are crispy!

It's very confusing.

However, Xu Xiaoen was still very respectful to Jiji. He stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite. He tried his best to eat it calmly and took a bite...it was crunchy and had a burnt smell.

Xu Xiaoen tried his best to eat the beans, while smiling at the expectant faces, "Well, it's very crispy."

I really can't think of a better review.

When Cheng Hanyu heard this, he was in a good mood. He was really talented in cooking.

Jiji was also very happy. Finally, her mother did not disgrace her uncle, and her uncle must encourage her when cooking for the first time.

"Mom, try this plate of braised eggplant again." Jiji winked at Xu Xiaoen.

Xu Xiaoen was stunned. Jiji didn't even know that this thing was an eggplant unless she said it was braised eggplant. It was very difficult to move the chopsticks she was holding, but when she saw Cheng Hanyu's expectant expression and Jiji's mother's desire to give face, With her eyes, she could only put down her chopsticks, but Xu Xiaoen almost vomited after eating. It took her all her strength to swallow it. Her eyes were full of shock. How could this man burn the eggplant until it was burnt black on the outside, but there was nothing inside? Cooked?

call!

Take a deep breath.

Xu Xiaoen tried her best to swallow the half-cooked and half-burnt eggplant, and looked at her daughter sadly. She had reason to believe that her daughter was cooperating with Cheng Hanyu to deliberately mess with her.

But looking back at the man with an expectant and sincere look, she... forget it, she can't kill him.

"Aren't you going to eat?" After tasting a few more plates of dark food, Xu Xiaoen couldn't help asking when he found that neither Cheng Hanyu nor Jiji, who was looking at him expectantly, had any intention of moving their chopsticks.

"Oh, Jiji and I had dinner late. These are specially made for you." Although Cheng Hanyu's expression was always restrained when he said this, he still couldn't help but feel a little bit, I made this specially for you. Yes, are you very moved?

Xu Xiaoen, "..." This is a very clever use!

He gave the man a fake smile and looked at Jiji, "What about you?"

"Mom, I was full when I was trying the food for my uncle just now, and now I'm not hungry at all." Jiji said and deliberately stretched out her belly and touched it.

Xu Xiaoen looked down at her daughter's belly and then at the food on the table. She began to worry whether Jiji would have indigestion and would definitely give her hawthorn granules.

"Well, I'll eat it then." Xu Xiaoen touched her daughter's head distressedly and said resignedly.

Then she found that as soon as she said these words, Jiji breathed a sigh of relief, and then her stomach quickly deflated.

Xu Xiaoen, "..."

"Mom, eat quickly, I'll serve you rice." Jiji seemed not to notice her old mother's expression, and went to serve Xu Xiaoen the rice diligently.

Before Xu Xiaoen could say anything, Jiji stood on tiptoe and filled her a bowl. Xu Xiaoen looked at the rice beside her and finally realized something. It turned out that it was not Cheng Hanyu who cheated her, but her own daughter.

"Aren't you used to eating alone? Why don't we accompany you?" Seeing Xu Xiaoen's slow movements, Cheng Hanyu thought she was embarrassed to eat alone, so he stood up.

Xu Xiaoen immediately thought of the taste of the food just now and waved his hand quickly, "No, you have a bad stomach now and can't eat too much. I can just eat."

If Cheng Hanyu ate this dish, he might have to stay in the hospital.

When Jiji heard this, she raised her arms and agreed, "Mom is right, uncle must listen to mom."

"Okay." Seeing that both mother and daughter rejected him, Cheng Hanyu had no choice but to give up.

Xu Xiaoen forced a smile, and then glared at Jiji. Jiji's face was helpless, and she leaned over and whispered to Xu Xiaoen, "Mom, this is my uncle's first time cooking. You have to give him face."

"Then why don't you give it?" Xu Xiaoen's expression remained unchanged, but he asked Jiji in a tone that only the two of them could hear.

After hearing this, Jiji looked apologetic and sincere, "Mom, children can't eat randomly."

Xu Xiaoen, "..." Is that okay, sir? It's such a hard life for adults.

Xu Xiaoen no longer wanted to deal with the leaky little cotton-padded jacket in her house. She lowered her head and tasted the rice. The taste... well, how should I put it? At least it was considered cooked, but it was obvious that too much water had been added and it was soft and soft. If you added a little more water and served it as porridge, no one would doubt it, but it was still edible compared to other dishes on the table.

Xu Xiaoen had a hard time eating this meal, and she couldn't eat too little for Cheng Hanyu's sake. But as soon as she finished eating, she immediately went to clean up the kitchen and get rid of the remaining food in case the man wanted to try it on a whim.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Xu Xiaoen prepared a pack of hawthorn granules for herself and Jiji, then went back into the kitchen to make a cake with less sugar for Jiji and Cheng Hanyu, and then rested after preparing the ingredients for tomorrow.

When she came out, Cheng Hanyu answered the phone and went to the study. Only Jiji was tinkering with masks in the living room and preparing to teach her. Only then did Xu Xiaoen have the opportunity to deal with her daughter, "Tell me, did you do it on purpose just now?"

Jiji smiled guiltily at her mother, then moved closer to Xu Xiaoen and rubbed her mother's cheek with her chin, then honestly confessed, "Mom, uncle worked very hard to cook for you. He cooked five braised eggplants for that plate. Again, if I didn’t lie to my uncle, he would definitely continue to do it.”

Xu Xiaoen was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the study on the second floor, "Are you... telling the truth?"

"Mom doesn't allow Jiji to lie. How could Jiji lie to mother?" Jiji replied pitifully.

Xu Xiaoen wanted to say that you lied just now, but looking at her daughter's look, she had no choice but to admit it. Unexpectedly, the little girl came up to her and asked mysteriously in her ear, "Mom, is Uncle Cheng pursuing you?" ?”

"Ahem..." Xu Xiaoen was drinking water and was choked unpreparedly. Then he glanced in the direction of the man on the second floor in a panic. After making sure that Cheng Hanyu had not come out and could not hear the conversation between their mother and daughter, he looked at his daughter, " Do you know what pursuit is?"

This little brat!

Xu Xiaoen was a little confused and didn't want to hear her little baby say something shocking in the next moment, "I know, what I'm after is that Uncle Cheng wants to be my mother's husband and Jiji's father."

Xu Xiaoen, "..."

"Come and eat cake." Xu Xiaoen cut a piece of cake and stuffed it into her daughter's mouth, finally blocking Jiji's little mouth.

After Jiji swallowed it, Xu Xiaoen calmed down a little, and then asked tentatively, "Jiji wants Uncle Cheng to be your father?"

In fact, Xu Xiaoen somewhat knew the answer to this question, but she still needed to confirm it with her daughter.

But after hearing her words, Jiji didn't answer immediately. Instead, she held her little face in worry, looking troubled. Xu Xiaoen was amused by her daughter's reaction and chuckled, "Is this difficult?"

"Mom, would you like your uncle to be your husband?" Jiji is young but smart, and is also very afraid that she and her mother will continue to be bullied.

At a young age, she realized that her husband was not a complete compliment.

Xu Xiaoen felt very uncomfortable looking at her daughter's serious look, but she did not avoid her daughter's questions anymore and nodded seriously, "Mom likes your Uncle Cheng very much and hopes he will be her husband. Then Jiji wants Uncle Cheng." Be a dad?"

Jiji's eyes lit up and her head nodded like a kowtowing bug. She really liked Uncle Cheng, and Uncle Cheng said that as long as he became her mother's husband, they could always live together.

Seeing Jiji's reaction, Xu Xiaoen reached out and took her daughter into her arms and kissed her, "How about mommy trying to make her uncle a husband and let Jiji have a father?"

Jiji's big eyes rolled, and then she said sadly, "I like Uncle Cheng as my father. Although I would rather marry Uncle Cheng, because my mother is so old, I will give my uncle to my mother." .”

Cheng Hanyu was coming downstairs, "..."

Xu Xiaoen looked up and faced Cheng Hanyu, feeling very sad. However, Jiji still had a look like "Mom, why don't you thank me?" Xu Xiaoen endured it and said, "Mom, thank you Jiji so much."

There was no hint of anything in her mother's words. Jiji replied arrogantly and said rudely. Hearing the movement at the top of the stairs, she ran over and said, "Uncle, mother said she likes you as her husband!"

Xu Xiaoen thought she was already embarrassed just now, but now she realizes that this world is never the most embarrassing, only more embarrassing.

"Ahem, cough, cough, Jiji, don't you want to teach mom how to make a mask?" Xu Xiaoen pretended to cough a few times and hurriedly called her daughter over.

Jiji had already held Cheng Hanyu's hand, "Uncle Cheng, can we teach mom together?"

"good."

Xu Xiaoen, "..." is not good at all!

But what Xu Xiaoen said in her heart was of no use. Jiji had already brought the tall and handsome man over. What was even worse was that the usually winking man didn't seem to feel her embarrassment. He sat down beside her with a smile. He whispered in a very calm and even serious tone, "I heard what Jiji said."

As for what to say, Xu Xiaoen can understand it by himself.

Xu Xiaoen felt that everything about this villa was good except that the heating was too hot in winter. Her face began to get hot again, and she quickly pushed the cake next to her in front of Cheng Hanyu, "Eat the cake." Shut up!

Cheng Hanyu chuckled lightly and took a bite of the cake with his long, well-jointed fingers. It was fragrant but not greasy, with the right level of sweetness, and he felt better.

At this time, Jiji has brought Dly's tools, which are simple rulers, pencils, scissors, colored pens, blades, and tape. The mask itself has a simple shape, and you can add things according to your own preferences and paint them with colors. , the one Jiji made before had feathers glued on it and butterflies painted on it, it was simple yet exquisite.

"Mom, shall we be mermaids now?" Gigi suggested with bright eyes as she arranged the things one by one.

Xu Xiaoen looked at Cheng Hanyu subconsciously.

The man nodded, "Then listen to Jiji, but does Jiji only do it for mom and not for uncle?"

Jiji thought for a while after hearing this, "Then what does uncle want to do?"

"What does a mermaid go best with?" Cheng Hanyu didn't look at Xu Xiaoen when he asked, but Xu Xiaoen felt that his face must have turned redder.

Why did she think this man was upright and old-fashioned before?

"Uncle wants to say that a mermaid and something are a couple, right?" Gigi understood with her clever mind.

Cheng Hanyu nodded when he saw the woman beside him who wanted to cover Jiji's mouth.

But Jiji held up his head at this moment, looking very embarrassed.

Xu Xiaoen said angrily, "Of course mermaids are most suitable for lobsters, because mermaids specialize in eating shrimps."

Jiji tilted her little head, "Is this okay?"

Cheng Hanyu, "...it's not impossible."

"Well, lobster is pretty cool too." When Cheng Hanyu said yes, Jiji nodded sadly, and then glanced at her mother, as if to say, uncle, please give in to you.

Xu Xiaoen was very irritable. Whose little cotton-padded jacket is leaking? Can it be sent away?

Now that they had decided what to do, Xu Xiaoen and Jiji started to take action. Cheng Hanyu was not idle at the side, helping the mother and daughter first with a knife and then with a paintbrush. Finally, Jiji asked him to paint the lobster with his own hands.

After finishing making the masks, it was already twenty minutes. Gigi looked at the two masks in her hands. The mermaid’s fish tail was the pure blue of the deep sea, her long fiery red hair, and her eyes were cartoon gold. They were on the top of the mask. Both sides are very beautiful and unique. The lobster is red all over, with a shrimp tail on one side and two large pincers on the other. The eyes are the same color as the mermaid. I don’t know if it’s the color or the number of lobsters that Xu Xiaoen made for Jiji in a handicraft class before. I was so distracted that the painting was so vivid that it really felt like a couple.

Jiji held it up and asked the two of them to put it on for comparison. They looked left and right to see that they were satisfied with their teaching results.

Xu Xiaoen looked at it with a small mirror and found that it looked good. He turned to look at Cheng Hanyu. Cheng Hanyu looked at what Xu Xiaoen was wearing and was startled for a moment. Then he looked at what he was wearing and smiled slightly. "Well, it's not bad."

"That's right." Jiji replied proudly.

Xu Xiaoen looked at the mask on his face in the mirror again, and an idea gradually took shape in his mind. He suddenly said happily, "I have a way!"

"Is there any solution?" Cheng Hanyu asked with concern.

Xu Xiaoen told what happened in the company during the day. After hearing this, Cheng Hanyu asked, "Do you want everyone to wear masks together?"

"Yes, ready-made masks are already available. They can be distributed to each department in advance for everyone to make their own, and they can also form teams. When the time comes, they can rely on masked characters to find dance partners, such as princes and princesses, or people from movies and TV shows. Couples, such as Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, will not only increase the fun of the party, but also mobilize everyone's enthusiasm to participate!" Xu Xiaoen said excitedly.

Cheng Hanyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's not bad."

"I think so too!" After receiving Cheng Hanyu's affirmation, Xu Xiaoen felt an indescribable satisfaction. She also became uplifted and looked at the man and asked, "Will you participate?"

Cheng Hanyu looked at Xu Xiaoen, "Is this an invitation?"
