Looking back on 2009

Chapter 116

Ruan Mi knew that if she said they were just friends, his father would definitely be angry.

It doesn't matter if his father is angry, Senior Brother Ma will be here soon, if he knows about this, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult for Chen Zhihe's project to get into the Normal University.

Originally, she was also kind and wanted to help Chen Zhihe.

After all, she also had a crush on Chen Zhihe, and had "sleeped" together, but she was older than Chen Zhihe, so she hadn't thought much about it.

However, after knowing that it was her daughter Hong who drank with Chen Zhihe last night, besides feeling a little absurd, she felt that it should be a kind of fate.

At that moment, she realized that if her future partner was Chen Zhihe, she would feel very happy.

So, after hesitating for a moment, she coquettishly said shyly, "Dad, he is my boyfriend."

After finishing speaking, she secretly glanced at Chen Zhihe.

Hearing this, Chen Zhihe couldn't help but look at Ruan Mi, just in time to meet her shy eyes.

Chen Zhihe's mind went blank, why didn't I know?
However, he reacted quickly.

Ruan Mi said so, if he didn't speak or said no, then he would feel sorry for Ruan Mi.

Therefore, Chen Zhihe said cautiously: "Yes, Professor Ruan, I am Xiao Mi's boyfriend."

Professor Ruan didn't speak, and looked at Ruan Mi for a while, and Chen Zhihe for a while.

After a while, Professor Ruan said, "Then you still call me Professor Ruan?"

Chen Zhihe's scalp was numb, and in addition to his previous life, it was the first time for him to see his parents.

"Hello, Uncle." Chen Zhihe said boldly.

Professor Ruan looked at Chen Zhihe with satisfaction, and nodded after listening: "Since Xiao Mi said that you are good at cooking, you can try it."

Chen Zhihe got up quickly, and ran into the kitchen as if fleeing.

Seeing Chen Zhihe enter the kitchen, Ruan Mi was still hesitating whether to follow, because she felt that she was too shy.

"You really let Xiao Chen do it alone, go in and help." Professor Ruan said while looking at Ruan Mi who was standing aside.

"Oh, yes, yes." Ruan Mi replied subconsciously, and then ran into the kitchen.

Coming to the kitchen, Chen Zhihe looked at the dishes that Ruan Mi bought.There are silver carp, pork with bone, potatoes, lotus root, and many side dishes.

So I thought about making a braised fish, a twice-cooked pork, fried shredded potatoes, and stewed pork ribs and lotus root soup.

For four people, three dishes and one soup should be enough.

This is almost his limit.

When Chen Zhihe was preparing to process the fish and meat, Ruan Mi came in.

"Do you need my help?" Ruan Mi asked in a low voice with her face red and her head lowered.

Chen Zhihe thought for a while and said, "First cook the rice, and then peel the potatoes and lotus root. Is it okay?"

Ruan Mi gave a muffled "hmm" and picked out the lotus root and potatoes, ready to wash them before processing.

Although feeling a little embarrassed, Chen Zhihe still whispered: "Senior sister, you didn't tell me that the wine last night was Nurhong."

After hearing this, Ruan Mi stopped the movement of her hands and bit her lips.

"I didn't know that bottle of wine was Nurhong, otherwise, I wouldn't..."

Only then did Chen Zhihe understand the twists and turns.

But, why did Ruan Mi say that they are boyfriend and girlfriend?
Shaking his head, Chen Zhihe pulled out the kitchen knife, and prepared to separate the ribs and the skin-on meat first.

The two of them were like this, each with their own minds, busy with their own business.

After Chen Zhihe finished all the dishes, Ruan Mi also cooked the rice, lotus root and potatoes.

"Okay, I'll do it now, you just watch."

Asking Ruan Mi to get out of the way, Chen Zhihe quickly processed the peeled potatoes and lotus roots.

Turning on the gas stove, Chen Zhihe started cooking.

Cooking is difficult for those who are difficult, but it is not difficult for those who meet. The spatula was flying, and Chen Zhihe soon finished several dishes, and the soup was still simmering.

Ruan Mi, who was leaning against the doorway, quietly watched Chen Zhihe busy in the kitchen, feeling a sense of happiness in her heart.

This was a scene she had never seen before, because his father had never been in the kitchen since he was a child.

Thinking about it, if she and Chen Zhihe were together in the future, like now, I wash the vegetables and you chop them, and I cook and you stir-fry them, that would be great.

Thinking about it, Ruan Mi's eyes were full of longing, and her face was unconsciously filled with a smile.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Zhihe couldn't help asking after washing his hands after cooking, seeing Ruan Mi giggling at the door.

Being interrupted by Chen Zhihe, thinking about what she had just thought, Ruan Mi blushed, gave Chen Zhihe a blank look, and turned to the living room.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Ruan Mi hurried to open the door.

A middle-aged man in his 40s walked in with a plastic bag in his hand.

Seeing Ruan Mi, the middle-aged man smiled and patted her head, teasing: "Xiao Mi has grown taller again."

Ruan Mi pursed her lips and said coquettishly, "Brother, I'm not a child anymore, so don't touch my head from now on."

It seems that this is Senior Brother Ma that Ruan Mi mentioned, Chen Zhihe thought to himself.

Brother Ma smiled and shook his head, then his smile subsided, he put the bag in his hand on the table, walked up to Professor Ruan, knelt down and asked with concern, "Teacher, how are you doing?"

Professor Ruan said with a smile: "It's okay, I can only lie down like this for the time being, the rest is fine."

Brother Ma shook his head and said: "You can't drink this wine anymore, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Xiao Mi."

Professor Ruan pointed to Chen Zhihe who was coming out of the kitchen, and said, "I don't plan to drink any more wine, but Xiao Mi already has a boyfriend, so I can take it easy for now."

Only then did Senior Brother Ma notice that there was someone else in the room, and he heard that it was Ruan Mi's boyfriend, so he couldn't help but start sizing him up.

Neither tall nor short, neither thin nor fat, apart from looking more stable, there seems to be nothing special.

However, he is a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time, Senior Brother Ma got up and said with a smile: "Hello, what's your name?"

Chen Zhihe replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Brother, my name is Chen Zhihe."

While in the kitchen, Chen Zhihe was thinking about what to call the head of the logistics department of the Normal University, and finally decided that it would be more appropriate to call him Senior Brother.

Brother Ma smiled and nodded, "Good name."

Seeing that the other party didn't speak any more, Chen Zhihe sat on the sofa with Ruan Mi sensibly and listened to the other party chatting with Professor Ruan about homework for a while.

Until the electric rice cooker rang in the kitchen, Professor Ruan smiled and said to Senior Brother Ma: "It's time to eat, I'm not waiting for you to cook today, Xiao Chen's cooking, I will try it later."

Senior Brother Ma glanced at Chen Zhihe, then chuckled, "It seems that I'm lucky."

Ruan Mi hurriedly dragged Chen Zhihe into the kitchen, and Senior Brother Ma also followed.

Ruan Mi served the rice, Chen Zhihe served the dishes, seeing Senior Brother Ma coming in, Chen Zhihe said, "Senior Brother, let me do it."

Brother Ma smiled and said, "It's nothing, they are not outsiders."

Just now he deliberately snubbed Chen Zhihe, through observation, he found that Chen Zhihe had been listening quietly, not impatient, and his impression of Chen Zhihe in his heart was much better.

When the food was served, the fragrance was overflowing. Everyone tasted it and were full of praise, especially the pork ribs and lotus root soup.

After Senior Brother Ma drank a bowl of soup, he asked Chen Zhihe, "Is Xiao Chen from Hubei Province?"

Chen Zhihe nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, from Huanggang."

Brother Ma said with a smile: "If you're not from Hubei Province, you can't usually make it like this."

Picking up a piece of lotus root in the bowl, Senior Brother Ma suddenly shook his head and said, "I got lotus root because of the lotus."

Ruan Mi was taken aback for a moment, but didn't understand what it meant.

Professor Ruan looked at Chen Zhihe with a smile on his face.

Chen Zhihe naturally understood what it meant, looked at Ruan Mi, and said, "There are apricots without plum blossoms."

The other two laughed, only Ruan Mi watched the three of them playing riddles with a bewildered expression.

Chen Zhihe suddenly had a thought that he thought was absurd.

Apricot and plum, can't we eat both?
