Chapter 46 Zeng Ali

Half an hour later, Xu Jinqiu put down the book and went back to work.

Chen Fan was also not idle. He continued to be busy writing editorials. It was not until after three o'clock that he rode his bicycle to the vegetable market and bought a bunch of fresh ingredients.

"spendthrift!"

Guan Yuemei shook her head and said nothing more about the things he bought. It was useless to say anything as her son's pursuit of food had become an obsession.

Just want to eat good food!

Guan Yuemei couldn't understand how a child with such a sharp tongue could come from a family of ordinary workers. Even the landlords in the old society were not as difficult to please as him.

Guan Yuemei didn't want to be in charge anyway. After the engagement, she would let her daughter-in-law take care of it and she would not say too much, lest she say too much and be disliked.

Chen Fan smiled awkwardly and continued to work.

The time-consuming ingredients need to be put into the pot first, and the rest can be cooked later.

We were busy until just after four o'clock, when Xu Jinqiu, Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan arrived. The girls were holding bags of fruit in their hands.

Guan Yuemei's eyes lit up when she saw Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan.

These two girls are so pretty!

Zeng A-li's appearance seems to have been carefully carved. When standing next to Xu Jinqiu, there is no difference in appearance, but their temperaments are completely different.

Although Zhao Yuanyuan's appearance is not as good as Zeng Ali's, it is only slightly inferior. She is also a rare beauty. She also has a pair of small canine teeth. When she smiles, her eyes narrow into a line, which is very attractive.

The most important thing is that she has a sweet mouth!

As soon as he entered the room, he started to be very familiar with everyone. He took Guan Yuemei's arm and praised her, "Auntie, you look really young. I thought you were Chen Fan's sister."

After sitting down in the house, Zhao Yuanyuan started chatting with people about skin care and health preservation, making Guan Yuemei smile so happily that she almost recognized her as her daughter on the spot.

Xu Jinqiu and Zeng Ali looked at each other. Why did these words sound so familiar?
This is how Chen Fan coaxes his mother-in-law.

Zhao Yuanyuan learned this trick and used it directly on Chen Fan's mother. Both of them secretly gave her a thumbs up. She is awesome, my sister.

"Chen Fan, how can I help you?"

Zeng Ali came out and saw Chen Fan washing vegetables, so she rolled up her sleeves and said, "You go do the other things, leave these vegetables to me."

Chen Fan was a little surprised. This girl usually had the temperament of a lady in blue clothes, with a hint of coldness. Unexpectedly, when she rolled up her sleeves, she really had a bit of worldly air.

However, since it was his first time as a guest at home, Chen Fan didn't feel comfortable asking others to work.

Just when I was about to tell her to take a rest, Zeng Ali had already squatted down, pulled the vegetable basin over, squatted down and started washing the vegetables with very quick movements.

"Big sister, seeing how skillful you are, you must have cooked a lot, right?"

“I kind of like to do it myself.”

"You underestimate me, my elder sister is very capable and the presentation of the dish is the most beautiful." Xu Jinqiu came over with a bucket containing a fresh sea bass.

Zeng Ali was stunned for a moment, then her face suddenly turned red and she reached out to tickle Xu Jinqiu.

Chen Fan smiled. Cooking requires color, aroma and taste. Zeng Ali has mastered the word "color".

Beautiful girls are indeed visual animals!
The two girls played for a while before stopping. Chen Fan had already prepared the fish and steamed it directly in the pot, making a steamed sea bass.

In addition, there are poached chicken, boiled shrimp, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, Hakka stuffed tofu... a total of ten dishes, all of which are Cantonese cuisine.

"Qiu'er said that your cooking skills are as good as those of a great chef. Today I believe her."

Zeng Ali gave a thumbs up, the dishes looked delicious.

"Today we are cooking Cantonese cuisine. The flavors in Guangzhou are relatively light, and cooking focuses on the taste of the ingredients themselves. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat it."

"No, after this meal, I will probably have to run a few laps to lose weight."

Zeng Ali sighed. As a dancer, figure is the most important thing. She has to pay attention to her diet and never dares to overeat.

Chen Fan looked at Zeng Ali strangely. This girl was 1.7 meters tall and had a very well-proportioned body, especially her long legs, which were really enviable. Yet she still wanted to lose weight?

Thinking of this, I can't help but joke: "It must have been a lot of work for our ancestors to transform from monkeys to humans. Back then, they had to run for several kilometers chasing wild boars just to get a bite of meat." "It's so hard to develop productivity so that everyone can eat meat, and then some people say that they have to run several kilometers to lose weight after eating a meal of meat."

"The ancestors in heaven must be dumbfounded. How could they be so idle? If I had known you were like this, I should not have come down from the tree. The tree was full of vegetarian food."

"Pfft..."

Everyone laughed, and Zeng Ali couldn't help herself: "Qiu'er, keep your Chen Fan in check. He has a mean mouth. He should be sealed with tape."

"I can't control him."

Xu Jinqiu smiled and invited everyone to the table. After the meal, both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.

It was not until after dinner that Zeng Ali said, "Chen Fan, do you still have the drawings for the fishing tackle you gave Uncle Xu? Lend it to me."

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I can ask my dad to make two more sets for me. I'll consider them as gifts to Uncle Zeng and Uncle Zhao." Chen Fan heard about this from Xu Jinqiu at noon.

"We girls should respect our old man. Don't take our chance."

Zeng Ali quickly shook her head. When they came to Chen Fan's side, they were Xu Jinqiu's family members. They couldn't let Chen's family members think that their family members were here to take advantage of them.

Even though I know Chen Fan wouldn't think this way, I can't do it this way.

Otherwise Xu Jinqiu would be looked down upon.

After much pushing and shoving, Chen Fan finally accepted the job after paying for the materials.

After the conversation, the two girls were going back to the next yard. Chen Fan and Xu Jinqiu sent them to the entrance of the dance troupe before returning.

As soon as I returned to the yard, Zhang Jianjun came over and said, "Chen Fan, I want to ask you something."

As he said this, he glanced at Xu Jinqiu.

Chen Fan has a girlfriend, which should be the best news for him in a long time.

No one would compete with him for Zhou Xiaoying.

But I don’t know why, I just feel jealous. Why is it so easy for Chen Fan to find a partner, and she’s prettier than Zhou Xiaoying.

Without waiting for Chen Fan to speak, Zhang Jianjun asked, "I heard that there is news about Li Hongbing's family. You live next door to him. Have you heard about this?"

Chen Fan raised his eyebrow slightly and hummed: "I know about this. Brother Bingzi's family has made a fortune in Hong Kong. They will be back in a few days and will take Brother Bingzi with them."

"Li Hongbing is going to be very successful, so I have to go and congratulate him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jianjun ran to the backyard.

In a hurry.

Xu Jinqiu narrowed his eyes and laughed, "This guy's eyes are rolling around. I'm afraid he can't hold back his fart. I think he's planning something bad."

"My wife is really good at judging people. Take Zhang Jianjun. Normally, when he meets Brother Bingzi, he would just nod at most. How could he be so kind as to come to congratulate him?"

"Could it be that he has set his eyes on the house?" Xu Jinqiu thought about it and this was the only possibility.

She was familiar with this yard. It was similar to the slum in her hometown. Everyone was basically facing housing shortage.

Except for Li Hongbing's family with a small population, no family is without shortage of housing.

"Or else?"

Chen Fan smiled and whispered something in his wife's ear. Xu Jinqiu's mouth corners slowly rose: "You are too mean, aren't you? Be careful not to cause trouble."

"What kind of trouble can there be? One is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten. Who asked them to climb the pole? Let's go to the backyard and listen to what's going on." Chen Fan took his wife and left.

"Go faster!"

Xu Jinqiu quickened her pace and walked in front of Chen Fan, and she was now pulling Chen Fan along.

Chen Fan was stunned by this. This girl is really naughty. She is also a spectator and her enthusiasm for watching the show is no less than others.
