"We'll help out, big sister, you can do it!"
"Um--"
Seeing the two little ones' strange expressions, Qin Yunmo didn't pay much attention. He casually responded and walked to Lin Qiu's side.
What should we do first?
"Then, squad leader, could you help clean the lobsters? There's still some mud on them, especially where the head connects to the body. Also, make a cut on the back of the tail and remove the black line."
"learn."
Qin Yunmo nodded and silently picked up the steel wool from the side, which made Lin Qiu's eyelids twitch violently.
"Um—class monitor, I have a spare toothbrush at home specifically for scrubbing lobsters. It's in the drawer to your left. Steel wool is a bit too harsh..."
"Do I need to use a toothbrush?"
Qin Yunmo glanced at the steel wool in his hand and put it back with some regret.
Before she could even reach for her toothbrush, Qin Dan had already handed it to her, giving her an encouraging look before returning to the table to join Qin Xuan in teasing the innocent lobster.
"Class monitor, be careful not to get pinched, it really hurts if you do."
"I know, lobsters can't hurt me."
Qin Yunmo said calmly, then grabbed the lobster from the sink and slammed it onto the cutting board, rubbing it vigorously.
Seeing that there were no problems for the time being, Lin Qiu felt relieved and began cleaning the lobsters as well.
"Oh, right, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Dan, could you go get the chili peppers? They're in that cabinet over there. How spicy do you want them?"
"Extremely spicy!"
Are you sure you won't get sick from eating this...?
Lin Qiu glanced sideways at Qin Dan, who looked quite brave, clearly not believing her nonsense—
"Take less, medium spicy is fine."
"Eh--"
Although somewhat reluctant, Qin Dan obediently brought over only a few red chili peppers.
"By the way, where are your parents? Are they coming home for dinner today?"
Seemingly noticing the situation at Lin Qiu's home, Qin Yunmo asked with some confusion, "It's almost dusk, and just like at my own home, I hardly see any parents."
"Dad probably won't be back tonight. He's being pressured by his editor. As for Mom, it's uncertain. Don't worry too much. Even if there's not enough to eat, she'll make herself some more."
"It's quite similar to my family. We rarely see anyone there, but when it's time for them to show up, they suddenly start popping up everywhere."
Qin Yunmo couldn't help but sigh, especially about his mother, who always gave him a headache.
"You'll get used to it. Ah, squad leader, just put the washed ones in this basin."
"Hmm—is this enough to keep going?"
"That's about it. You can take care of the rest. I'll go heat the oil now."
After handing over the task of cleaning the lobsters to Qin Yunmo, Lin Qiu then busied herself with the other steps.
Of course, they didn't forget the two little ones who were idly slacking off on the sidelines—
"You two, stop playing with the lobster. Xiao Xuan, go and call Qian Hui down to help. Xiao Dan, cut the short ribs into pieces and rinse them."
"learn!"
At Lin Qiu's command, Qin Xuan immediately obeyed and hopped upstairs, while Qin Dan enthusiastically picked up a kitchen knife that was lying to the side.
Has it finally come to my turn to show my true abilities?
094 - The daughter-in-law is still more important!
"Is this the correct procedure?"
"Don't be too nervous, relax. Just do as I say, and there won't be any problems."
"Hmm—a little lighter?"
"This level of force is about right now."
......
"Whoa—am I misinterpreting things, or is there something wrong with their conversation itself?"
As she listened to the conversation between Lin Qiu and Qin Yunmo, resting her chin on her hand, Qin Dan couldn't help but mutter a complaint.
Those who were there knew you were cooking, but those who weren't thought you were doing something else!
"Don't worry about it so much. At least with Brother Lin Qiu watching over her, Big Sister won't make any more terrible dishes."
Qin Xuan, standing to the side, didn't pay much attention and continued playing chess with Qian Hui at the table.
The two little ones had calm and serious expressions, as if they were fighting to the very end, which made Xiao Dan a little curious.
"Why did you two start playing chess?"
"If you're tired of playing games, it's a good time to relax and try chess in a different way. It's not bad at all."
"Other ways to play?"
Amidst Qin Dan's bewildered gaze, Qin Xuan picked up his two horses and let out a soft shout—
"Merge my two horses into Red Hare! Activate the ultimate leap and directly charge into the enemy's base!"
Qin Dan was utterly devastated as she watched helplessly as the stacked horses traversed most of the distance and trampled a soldier deep within the Chie headquarters to death.
Wait a minute! Is this chess?! That's not how you play chess!
"Wow, that's pretty impressive. I have this too! Fusion soldier and vehicle transform into suicide bombers, unleashing an explosive charge straight ahead!"
The soldiers and vehicles piled together, at that moment, were like truly rampaging off-road vehicles, suddenly leaping high into the air as they rushed through the undefended restricted area, aiming at the taxi at the front before plummeting downwards—
"Snapped!!"
With her eyes fixed on the general, soldiers, and elephants that had been blasted away, Qin Dan felt as if she had a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat, and she didn't know where to begin complaining.
"Chie, pack your things, it'll be time to eat soon."
"oh-"
After Lin Qiu's call, Qian Hui stopped fooling around with Qin Xuan and obediently put away the chess set.
Xiao Xuan didn't waste any time either. While helping to serve the bowls and chopsticks, she couldn't help but steal a glance at Qin Yunmo's side. Only after confirming that there was no adverse reaction in the beef ribs in her pot did she breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems my brother-in-law is the only one who can correct my sister's quirky cooking skills!
"jingle---"
Just then, a cheerful telephone ring came from the table.
Chie glanced at the phone and, seeing it was her mother calling, quickly answered it.
"Mom - what's wrong?"
"Qianhui, have Xiaoxuan and Xiaodan come to our house yet? Mom, I'm having a small get-together with some colleagues after get off work, so I might be a little late. You guys eat first."
"They've arrived, and Sister Yunmo is here too."
"..."
Upon hearing what Chie said, an eerie silence fell over the other end of the phone.
Just a few seconds later, Ye Qianhe spoke again—
"Wait, I'll be home in five minutes!"
"Huh? Mom, aren't you going to a get-together with your colleagues...?"
"The daughter-in-law is more important!"
After saying that, Ye Qianhe promptly hung up the phone, clearly busy getting ready to drive.
Chie, who knew her mother's temperament very well, couldn't help but laugh and quickly called out to Lin Qiu-ge—
"Brother Lin Qiu, Mom will be back soon."
"Hmm? She's actually coming back tonight? Okay, I'll leave her a bowl and chopsticks later."
"Is Aunt Chizuru coming back soon too!"
Upon hearing the news from Qianhe, Qin Xuan and Qin Dan, the two little ones, showed expectant expressions.
They've been looking forward to this scene of the eldest daughter-in-law meeting her mother-in-law for a long time! Aunt Qianhe, you must come quickly, don't let the eldest daughter-in-law get away!
"How about we wait a little longer until Aunt Chizuru arrives before we eat? What do you think, big sister?"
Xiao Dan asked anxiously, "What we need to do now is stall for time!"
"Okay, let's wait. Before that, you can help with the cleaning. After all, we're guests at someone else's house, and we shouldn't cause them any trouble."
Qin Yunmo nodded solemnly.
"Ah, don't worry about hygiene, Chie and I have already taken care of it."
Lin Qiu pointed to the kitchen, where the clutter and scraps that had been piled up had been cleaned up.
Not to mention the living room that Chie was usually in charge of, which was spotless, leaving the three of them stunned.
"Big sister, don't you really want to consider such a capable brother-in-law and sister? It feels like if you bring them home, you'll never have to worry for the rest of your life."
Qin Dan tugged at Qin Yunmo's sleeve and couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Yunmo immediately glanced at her sideways and said, "Whose family are you? Why are you always taking other people's side?"
"How about we go upstairs and play for a while?"
Lin Qiu suggested that since they had nothing else to do anyway, they might as well get them something else to pass the time.
"Um—can I not go up? Just seeing that set of figurines gives me the feeling of having a heart attack."
Qin Dan muttered with a sullen face, not forgetting to glare at her older sister. Using her own sister's figurine to seduce her man, you're really something, older sister!
"Alright, alright, don't worry about it so much. Let's go upstairs together, I'll show you some good stuff."
"What good stuff?"
If you say that, I'm not sleepy anymore! The two little ones' interest was immediately piqued.
Could it be one of those hidden videos on your computer? Lin Qiu, isn't it a bit too bold of you to release them in public?
"Come and see for yourself."
Lin Qiu didn't say anything explicitly, but led the two little ones upstairs. Qian Hui didn't linger either, happily pushing Qin Yunmo along as they followed.
For some reason, looking at the three people going upstairs in front of him, Qin Yunmo instinctively felt a sense of foreboding.
If this continues to drag on, I have a feeling it will develop into a situation that is not in my best interest.
"What's wrong, Sister Yunmo?"
"Hmm? Nothing. When will Aunt Chizuru arrive home?"
"It'll be quick, Mom's company isn't far from here. It'll only take a short drive. Sister Yunmo, do you really want to see my mom?"
"It's...it's okay."
Faced with Qianhui's expectant little face, Qin Yunmo gave a vague and perfunctory reply.
We'll run as soon as we finish eating. We absolutely can't let Aunt Chizuru misunderstand anything! Otherwise, given the current situation, things could become extremely complicated!
"Oh, Sister Yunmo, are you nervous? Don't worry, Mom is very easygoing, she likes you very much."
That's not the point...
My mom is already very satisfied with Lin Qiu. The worst situation would be if your mom had no objections to me either!
095 - Recreating the Blind Date Scene
"Big sister, can I stay here and not leave?"
Qin Dan stared intently at the pile of unopened Gundam model kits in the closet, her breath almost stopping.
First, there were high-quality figurines filling an entire wall, then there were numerous Gundam models piled up in the closet...
