Chapter 269: Really Angered the Neighbor Old Wang Away
Two people cooking is definitely faster than one!
Soon, Chi Enen and Xu Lulu had already served the food on the table.
“I want to sit next to Uncle Li!” Chi Jingchen quickly snatched the position to the left of Li Beijue.
His little follower, Han Xiaoru, didn’t need to be taught and immediately climbed onto the right side, “I also want to sit next to Handsome Uncle.”
The two kids, one on the left and the other on the right, snatched up all the spots beside Li Beijue.
Chi Enen could only sit next to Xu Lulu, with Han Qifeng beside her. Han Qifeng looked at the five dishes and one soup on the table with a bit of surprise, turning his head to ask Chi Enen, “Enen, did you make all these?”
“No, I couldn’t have made so many dishes by myself. Teacher Loulou also helped cook two dishes.”
Chi Jingchen immediately asked, “Teacher Loulou, which two dishes did you make?”
Xu Lulu’s cheeks flushed with a hint of embarrassment as she spoke, “The fish-flavored eggplant and the stir-fry shredded pork were made by me. My cooking skills aren’t very good, not as delicious as Sister Enen’s.”
“I’ll try it.” Chi Jingchen picked up a chopstick-full of fish-flavored eggplant and put it in his mouth, chewing it twice. Inside, he felt it wasn’t as tasty as what his woman made, but he said outwardly, “Delicious!”
Xu Lulu took it as truth, overjoyed, “Really?”
Chi Jingchen felt a pang of guilt and glanced around at Old Wang from next door who had a dark face and his own woman who was obviously preoccupied with something, but he still nodded against his conscience, “Really, Teacher Loulou’s cooking is delicious. I’ll have Uncle Li try it, if you don’t believe me, you should at least believe Uncle Li, right?”
Saying this, he quickly put a piece of eggplant into Li Beijue’s bowl with a swift motion, tilting his head with the demeanor of a well-mannered good baby, “Uncle Li, eat.”
Then, without waiting to see if Li Beijue would eat it, he quickly picked a piece of braised spare ribs and put it in Han Qifeng’s bowl, “Uncle Han, this braised spare ribs is my Mommy’s specialty, especially delicious, you should try it. It’s definitely better than the pork ribs sold outside.”
He got the eggplant for him!
He got the pork ribs for Han Qifeng!
And those were the braised spare ribs personally made by Chi Enen!
Li Beijue’s suppressed anger was almost completely ignited at this moment, and with a snap, he put down his chopsticks, his face cold as he pushed back his chair, “I’m full, you all eat slowly.”
He didn’t give anyone the chance to call him back and turned to leave.
The room door creaked open, then banged shut!
A moment of silence filled the living room.
Xu Lulu spoke hesitantly, “Um… is it because the eggplant I made isn’t good and Mr. Li got angry?”
Han Qifeng, one of the only two who knew the truth, kindly comforted Xu Lulu, “It shouldn’t be, maybe Mr. Li is just not feeling well. Don’t worry about it, let’s just eat.”
Chi Jingchen finally managed to drive the neighbor Old Wang away, and he thought he’d be very happy, but when Old Wang really left, he couldn’t explain why, but he felt a sense of loss.
He glanced at the colorful Band-Aids on his arm and uncontrollably remembered how Old Wang came to the kindergarten to find him, made Zhou Ru apologize, helped him with applying medicine, and took him to the amusement park…
Chi Jingchen felt a tightness in his heart and suddenly lost his appetite. He reluctantly put down his chopsticks and said to the others, “Uncle Han, Teacher Loulou, I’m full too, you all keep eating.”
“Brother Jingchen?” Han Xiaoru was busy savoring the pork ribs, but seeing him stop eating, although he was reluctant to part with the ribs, he slowly put down his chopsticks, his eyes lingering on the ribs while he said, “Ruoruo is full too, not eating anymore…”
