Grow up together

Chapter 84 The Longest Road Is Xu Cheng's Way

"Um"

Xu Cheng picked up a chopstick of okra fried vermicelli, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Mom, who cooked this dish?"

He Ying untied the apron and put it aside, "I fried it, what's the matter, isn't it delicious?"

Xu Cheng rested his hands on his chin, and spoke very seriously.

"I have two versions of the answer, one humorous and one rational, which would you like to hear first?"

"My child, let's talk about humor first."

"The humorous version is, this plate of okra fried vermicelli, you put too little food."

"What about rational?"

"This plate of okra fried vermicelli, you put too much salt!"

He Ying picked up a chopstick and tasted it himself, "It's really all right, I'll soak it in water and fry it again."

"Accidentally or on purpose."

He was muttering and complaining, but in fact Xu Cheng didn't care much about this kind of thing. After all, he has a strong taste, so he likes to watch something, bah, he likes to eat something strong, and the salty vegetables are just right for cooking.

He just wanted to find some light topics to liven up the atmosphere at the dinner table. After all, it was the first time he had dinner with his mother-in-law, and it was obvious that she was not at ease.

Maybe the mother-in-law is a big gangster and Yu Yu is a small gangster, passed down in the same vein?
After dinner, the adults chatted and laughed at the dining table, while the three children hid in Yu Yu's bedroom and played.

Lin Wanzhou was sitting beside Yu Yu's bed, carefully reading the comics she drew. The heels of her little milky white boots stepped on the ground, twisting and twisting with the toes.

"This ending is so tragic. The male protagonist is actually a fantasy."

Yu Yu lowered his head in embarrassment, "I didn't think too much about it when I was painting."

Xu Cheng smiled, this is the way of writing in this period, I always like to send a knife to make the content more profound, make some ntr or revive my lover.

However, the setting of this ending is quite thoughtful. It can be seen that Yu Yu must have studied comics a lot.

"I think the heroine's words are very good—"

"In my memory, he has always been just a childhood fantasy through the window, but he exists so real."

Yu Yu blushed and covered it with her hands.

"It's pretty good." Xu Cheng nodded, then stood up and suggested, "Anyway, I'm idle, so why don't you go out and play?"

He was thinking of using this excuse to trick Yu Yu into adding a padded jacket to her.

Lin Wancong glanced out the window, the glass vibrated in the cold wind, "Do you still want to go out when it's so cold outside?"

Dizzy, isn't you the one who likes shopping the most?
"Go to the mall, it must be warm inside."

The wind was weak and the snow was long. The three of them walked on the snow surface "creaking". The scenery of the city covered with snowflakes was completely different from what they usually saw. Walking outside, they would breathe out a few mouthfuls of white gas from time to time.

Lin Wancong tilted her head to look at Xu Cheng, covered her mouth and giggled, "Xu Cheng, you are panting like a bull devil right now."

Xu Cheng wanted to refute her, I am the Bull Demon King, then you are the Iron Fan Princess or the Jade Face Fox, but noticed that Yu Yu's eyes were frequently looking at the side of the road——

It was an old woman in a gray-green army coat, selling snacks such as roasted cold noodles, maybe because the weather was too cold, she paced back and forth with her hands in her sleeves, stamping her feet vigorously from time to time.

"I, let's eat this, please," she said suddenly.

Both Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou thought it was strange, Yu Yu seldom wanted to eat something on his own initiative, what happened today.

"I don't seem too hungry after eating just now." Lin Wanzhou rubbed his stomach.

Xu Cheng probably guessed Yu Yu's thoughts, nodded and said, "If you want to eat, then I will treat you. After all, you have already treated us to dinner today, so you can't spend any more money on this."

In the end, the girl was still very stubborn, and said weakly, "But I proposed this."

Lin Wancong was too embarrassed to ask Yu Yu to invite her to eat again, "Well, let me do it. I said I would help today but it didn't help much. I feel like I was the only one who wasted the meal."

"It's not in vain, I want to treat you to dinner"

This time Yu Yu was uncharacteristically, he didn't lose to Lin Wanzhou as quickly as usual, and stubbornly wanted to treat himself.

The two girls were arguing over who should treat them, so Xu Cheng went to the middle and pushed them all away.

"Okay, stop arguing"

"Different opinions, listen to me."

"I'll treat."

Surprisingly, the two girls just puffed up their cheeks at the same time, and didn't say anything else.

Xu Cheng rushed straight to the booth, and the mother-in-law who sold things smiled and spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Son, what do you want? Baked cold noodles, multigrain pancakes, egg-filled pancakes, and roujiamo"

Xu Cheng thought for a moment, just after eating, the cakes and steamed buns are definitely too big to eat, but the cold baked noodles are very good, they can be chopped up and shared by everyone.

"Two servings of grilled cold noodles, both with ham sausage and eggs."

"Okay, I'll add another egg for you."

"Thank you mother-in-law."

Knock the eggs on the side of the table, dripping on the baking board, sizzling white smoke, the golden egg liquid quickly solidifies on the baking board, spread the cold noodles after half-cooked, wrap them together, and then spread Various dipping sauces, sprinkled with coriander, shallots, and sesame seeds.
Lin Wan porridge, who just said he would not eat it, is now watching from the side like a little squirrel with its head stretched out, its little nose moving.

The two servings were fried quickly, and the mother-in-law asked, "Pack it for you or just eat it?"

"Just take it and eat it"

Xu Cheng took two disposable foam lunch boxes from her, and when she saw the three bamboo sticks handed over by her mother-in-law, she moved carefully and quietly threw one of them into the white snow.

"Here"

Xu Cheng handed them two portions of grilled cold noodles.

"Hurry up and eat, it will be cold later."

After all, insert two bamboo sticks into two disposable foam bowls.

Lin Wancong picked up a piece of roasted cold noodles and stuffed it into his mouth with a satisfied expression on his face.

"It's warm, it's so delicious, Yu Yu, why do you want to eat this all of a sudden, aren't you full just now?"

Yu Yu replied shyly, "I think. If I buy one, maybe this mother-in-law can go home earlier."

Xu Cheng could understand her thoughts, it was probably a kind of emotional projection, thinking that if he treated this mother-in-law better, would other people treat her better when they saw her mother-in-law.

Many people may have similar experiences, especially those whose parents are engaged in the service industry. When they see people working in the same job as them, they will subconsciously treat them better and tolerate their faults with a smile. It is also possible to have a slightly better attitude towards your parents at such times.

Lin Wan porridge ate for a while, and walked a long way from the stall, only to realize that Xu Cheng was just walking silently, she raised her elbow and poked him.

"Xu Cheng, don't you want to eat?"

Xu Cheng shrugged helplessly, "The mother-in-law gave us a bamboo stick just now. Since you have used it, you two can eat it."

Yu Yu frowned, she didn't realize this just now, she had already bitten this bamboo stick, if she used it for Xu Cheng again, wouldn't it be what Xu Cheng said that time - an indirect kiss .

Lin Wanzhou also didn't know what to do for a while, but her unawakened female sixth sense told her that this was a conspiracy, so she subconsciously stepped back a few steps away from Xu Cheng.
