Su Ji and Pei Huai entered the house. Xu Mingzhi had just exchanged a few pleasantries when the phone next to her rang again.
It was the same number, but this time it was Su Cunyi who spoke. Su Cunyi had just taken back control of the phone from Zhang Guihua.
“You don’t have to mind what my mother said just now…”
“I’m doing this for my granddaughter’s sake!”
Halfway through his sentence, Zhang Guihua’s voice came from the other end.
Xu Mingzhi replied very calmly and elegantly, “don’t worry, I’ll just treat it as a fart. ”
Su Cunyi: ‘ su Ji:
Pei Huai: ”
Zhang Guihua’s voice-over voice said, “what did she say??”
Xu Mingzhi laughed indifferently.
Pei Huai knew that his mother-in-law was there. He originally planned to go back first after sending Su Ji off, but when he saw that his mother-in-law was busy on the phone, he followed Su Ji into the house.
Su Cunyi didn’t answer. He probably gave them a comforting look before saying to Xu Mingzhi, “I heard that Su Ji is back. Have you guys eaten?”
Aunt Wu took a week off the day before yesterday with Uncle He, who lived next door.
Uncle He also applied for leave from Pei Huai, so Pei Huai also knew about this. When Su Cunyi lived next door, he took Uncle He’s WeChat contact and had
been in contact with him since then, so he knew about it.
“Of course.” Xu Mingzhi said, “I made eight dishes today!”
She had just started bragging when Su Ji exposed her.
“Mom, you’re eating frozen dumplings again!” Su Ji picked up the plastic bag that had been casually thrown on the kitchen counter with one finger.
“…” Xu Mingzhi’s mouth twitched. “That’s just one of the dishes.”
Pei Huai started to order food on his phone. He did not notice the quality of life of his mother-in-law here.
It was his fault.
Su Cunyi also heard it on the other end of the phone.
He also said, “I’ll order food for you.”
Xu Mingzhi rejected him immediately. “You don’t have to order it. I’m not used to eating ordinary takeout.”
“I won’t order regular food for you.” Su Cunyi’s tone was not one of negotiation.
“If you don’t want to eat it, throw it away.”
After saying that, he hung up. He was finally tough for once.
Xu Mingzhi looked at the phone.
Crazy.
She didn’t even have time to say that her son-in-law had already done that.
At noon, the meal ordered by her ex-husband and son-in-law arrived.
It was a form of comparison.
One was her ex-husband, and the other was her daughter’s future husband. Su Cunyi had ordered the prepared dishes from a fancy restaurant. It was really not an ordinary takeaway.
The New Year’s Eve dinner was prepared, and the packaging was especially exquisite.
The reason why it was called a preparation dish was that the chef first cooked all the ingredients and then sealed them. After receiving them, he would cook them in the pot according to the needs of the dish and then eat them directly. This way, the taste could be maintained as if it was freshly made, and there would not be the drawbacks of ordinary takeaways.
Moreover, he really ordered eight dishes and added a soup. He knew Xu Mingzhi’s appetite.
Most importantly, their precious daughter was pregnant.
Xu Mingzhi glanced at the dishes and raised her eyebrows.
It seemed to be better than she had imagined, but there was a drawback…she had to reheat it.
She found it troublesome.
Then, the doorbell rang again.
This time, it was her son-in-law’s.
As soon as she opened the door, Xu Mingzhi took the takeout boxes from the person. “Okay, just leave them here.”
However, the man refused. “Don’t be polite, I’ll bring them in!”
It was a very solemn voice.
Only then did Xu Mingzhi size up the person. He was tall and fat, dressed in a white chef’s uniform, wearing a chef’s hat, and three shiny medals stacked on his chest. He looked energetic and had a friendly smile.
Xu Mingzhi asked, “may I know who you are?”
The chef said, “hello, Madam. I’ve received an order from Mr. Pei. My work number is 1928. My surname is Yang. I’m Yang Bilian, the three-time winner of the 2020-2023 National Chef’s Competition!”
Xu Mingzhi: ‘ What Bilian?
Before she could react, Pei Huai’s voice came from behind her. “Come in.”
Yang Bilian immediately entered the room. There were two assistants behind her. They were blocked by his body just now, so Xu Mingzhi didn’t see them.
The three of them entered the house and went straight to the kitchen. They quickly opened the box in their hands and took the things out.
Well-trained.
If the ex-husband said that he would order a meal, then it was a meal, but the son-in-law…directly booked a chef for the state banquet!
They brought all the tools and ingredients, cooked on the spot, and ate the freshest food.
It also avoided the drawbacks of ordinary takeout, and Xu Mingzhi did not have to do it herself.
He was obviously a whole level higher than her ex-husband!
Su Ji’s eyes accidentally met with her mother’s. She touched the tip of her nose in a low-key manner. “The dishes that dad ordered are all your favorites.” Xu Mingzhi pursed her lips.
“Ma ‘am,” Yang Bilian turned around and pointed at the prepared dishes that were originally placed on the kitchen counter. He said enthusiastically, “do you need me to help you with these?”
Look at his service attitude.
“No, just put them in the fridge.” Xu Mingzhi was ready to taste the dishes of the three-time winner of the National Chef Competition. “Just do as you planned!”
There was no doubt about the culinary skills of the chef of the state banquet. In less than half an hour, three dishes had already been served. Forty minutes later, all the dishes were placed on the table.
Xu Mingzhi looked at the table full of delicious food and only had one thought in her mind.
An ex-husband was useless, but a son-in-law was much more practical!
The chef was very professional. He first invited Xu Mingzhi to taste the dishes and make sure that there were no problems. The assistants began to clean up the kitchen and packed the things they had brought.
The Xu family’s kitchen was even tidier than when they first came!
The order was completed, and Pei Huai made the payment on his phone. After the group left, Xu Mingzhi asked Pei Huai for the contact information of the chef.
At the dining table, a notification tone sounded after a WeChat message was sent.
Pei Huai pushed his contact information to her and Xu Mingzhi kept it safe.
Su Ji twirled the chopsticks in her hand and began to eat.
During the meal, Su Ji told him about the invitation from Kyokushin.
Xu Mingzhi was more assured about the school’s invitation. Moreover, she heard that her daughter was only attending the opening ceremony as a special guest. This was an honorable thing, so she was unexpectedly more supportive.
Pei Huai did not express his opinion.
If he had to say it, he hoped that he could put his fiancée into his pocket and bring her wherever he went.
Glory is meaningless.
But at the same time, he understood that it was meaningless to him, but it did not mean that it was the same for his fiancée..
