Volume 1: The Golden Years Chapter 055 Nan Sun Moves into a New Home
At 7:35 in the evening, in Jiang Nansun’s rental house.
Zhu Suosuo had just finished cleaning the house with Jiang's mother and sat down on the sofa in the living room, ready to take a rest when she heard the notification tone of her new WeChat message. She took out her phone, opened WeChat, and soon started laughing.
Seeing Zhu Suosuo smiling so happily, with a happy and sweet look on her face, Mother Jiang on the side couldn't help but teasing:
"Suosuo, this is the first time I see you smile so happily. You look so happy and sweet. Did Xiao Yuan say something sweet to you?"
"Auntie, you are making fun of me~~ "
Zhu Suosuo put down her phone, looked at Mother Jiang and said coquettishly, then said shyly:
"Yuan Xudong and Nansun are coming back soon. He ordered some of my favorite beer crayfish to celebrate my official start of work. Nansun must have told him. I have never mentioned beer crayfish in front of him."
Hearing Zhu Suosuo say this, Mother Jiang couldn't help but rolled her eyes and teased:
"Suosuo, I originally thought that only Nansun was a silly girl who knew nothing, but I didn't expect you to be like this too. A few beers and crayfish make you so happy. Women's IQs drop rapidly when they fall in love. Everything they see is happy and sweet, and they are led by the nose by those cunning men."
Seeing Mother Jiang making fun of herself and Yuan Xudong, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but defend herself:
"Yuan Xudong is not one of those cunning men. He just simply likes me and wants to be nice to me. He hopes that I will happily accept his kindness. I can feel all of this. Women's intuition is very accurate."
After saying this, without waiting for Mother Jiang's response, she stood up happily and ran to the kitchen, saying only:
"Auntie, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to cook a few dishes and wait for Nansun and Yuan Xudong to come back and have dinner together."
Looking at the impetuous Zhu Suosuo, Mother Jiang shook her head slightly. If she hadn't seen what Yuan Xudong did to her daughter Jiang Nansun this morning, she would not have said what she had just said.
Yuan Xudong likes Zhu Suosuo, and he also likes his daughter Jiang Nansun. The big tree of the Jiang family has fallen, and Nansun has become Cinderella. She needs a prince to give her a pair of crystal shoes so that she can live in a gorgeous palace again. As Nansun's mother, I can only feel sorry for Suosuo.
Thinking of this, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen, saying gently:
"Suosuo, let me help you."
"No need, Auntie, I've been cooking since I was a child, you just need to rest for a while."
…
Time passed, and when Zhu Suosuo was still busy in the kitchen, Yuan Xudong and Jiang Nansun walked into the house. He looked at Mother Jiang who was sitting on the sofa in the living room and resting and said with a smile:
"Aunt, as soon as I saw the door was open I knew you and Suosuo were here. Where's Suosuo?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong and her daughter Jiang Nansun walking into the house together, Jiang's mother quickly stood up, holding her daughter Jiang Nansun's hands and asking about her well-being, while looking at Yuan Xudong and said:
"Suosuo is in the kitchen. The beer and crayfish you bought have arrived, as well as the dishes cooked by Suosuo. I've put them on the dining table. When Suosuo is done, we'll celebrate!"
Without waiting for Yuan Xudong's response, Jiang Nansun glanced at the table full of food and wine, as well as a few servings of beer and crayfish, then looked at her mother and smiled:
"Mom, you chat with Yuan Xudong for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to help Suosuo cook!"
"Okay, you should learn how to cook. Learn more from Suosuo, so that you don't need a man to serve you after you get married. No man can stand a wife like you. Do you understand?"
I didn't expect my mother to say this. Thinking of my family's situation, Jiang Nansun nodded slightly and said:
"I know, Mom!"
Then she ran to the kitchen happily, shouting:
"Suosuo, I'm back!"
"Nansun, you're back, come in and help me quickly. The water is boiling, put the meat in the plate and blanch it. When the water boils again, take out the meat and put it in the wok. Be careful not to burn yourself!"
"No problem, leave it to me, don't worry!"
Seeing Jiang Nansun running into the kitchen and Zhu Suosuo was also inside, Yuan Xudong looked at Mother Jiang in front of him and smiled:
"Aunt, please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and see if there's anything I can help you with ."
"Okay, go help Nansun and Suosuo, don't worry about me!"
Seeing Mother Jiang sitting back on the sofa to rest, Yuan Xudong nodded slightly and walked towards the kitchen. After a while, he saw Zhu Suosuo dressed as a housewife, and Jiang Nansun who was clumsily helping and making trouble. He couldn't help but laugh:
"Nansun, you should go out and have a rest for a while, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't have dinner until twelve o'clock tonight."
Hearing Yuan Xudong's voice, Zhu Suosuo turned around and looked at him while cooking:
"you are back!"
"Um!"
Yuan Xudong nodded slightly and smiled:
“Suosuo, thank you for your hard work!”
"It's not hard. You're the one working hard at the construction site. I'll make you some braised pork to supplement your nutrition."
Seeing that Yuan Xudong was making fun of her while still flirting with Zhu Suosuo, Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes and threw the raw meat on the plate to him, saying:
"What's so funny? This is my first time cooking, and it's good enough. You blanch the meat, and I'm going to make my favorite tomato scrambled eggs."
Yuan Xudong washed his hands, blanched the raw meat in hot water, and waited for the water to boil again. He watched Jiang Nansun clumsily beating eggs and cutting tomatoes, and said,
"You need to put less eggs. This is not scrambled eggs with tomatoes. This is scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
Rolling her eyes at Yuan Xudong, Zhu Suosuo, the chef at the side, looked at Jiang Nansun and encouraged her:
"Nansun, don't listen to him. He's just talking. If he really cooks, he might not be as good as you. Come on, let us taste your cooking tonight. You are the best!"
Seeing that Zhu Suosuo was challenging his authority again, Yuan Xudong raised a wicked smile and said:
"Suosuo, let me help you cook!"
After that, without waiting for Zhu Suosuo to respond, he walked directly behind her, held Zhu Suosuo in his arms, held her hands while cooking, and said:
"I'll teach you how to cook and let you taste my cooking skills. Are you touched?"
In front of Jiang Nansun, being held in Yuan Xudong's arms, Zhu Suosuo's body stiffened slightly, and then she blushed and said:
"I dare not move~~"
Looking at Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo who were cuddling together, Jiang Nansun cut tomatoes vigorously while deliberately speaking in a weird voice:
"No, my eyes are going blind!"
While the three of them were playing around, all the remaining ingredients were turned into delicious dishes and served on the table. Together with Jiang's mother, the four of them sat around the table. Yuan Xudong raised his glass and invited them to drink:
“Congratulations to Suosuo for officially starting work and to Nansun for moving into a new home. Let’s have a toast!”
"cheers!"
After taking a sip of beer and putting down the glass, Zhu Suosuo ate a beer crayfish while looking at Yuan Xudong with a flattering face:
"Yuan Xudong, I want to discuss something with you. Will you promise me?"
Seeing that Zhu Suosuo made a request to him for the first time, Yuan Xudong said directly:
"What is it? If it's not too much, I can promise you."
"Not too much, not too much!"
Zhu Suosuo shook her head slightly, and smiled calmly as she cautiously asked:
"I want to live with Nansun, how about you move in here?"
It turned out to be this matter. Yuan Xudong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not asked to help Jiang Nansun's family pay off their debts for free. Looking at the cautious Zhu Suosuo, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"That's the house you rented. The owner has spoken. How dare I not move in?"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong didn't look angry at all, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but said discouragedly:
"You don't mind at all?"
Yuan Xudong picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and put it into his mouth. He glanced at Jiang Nansun who was looking at him calmly, then looked at Zhu Suosuo and said strangely:
"It's not a big deal, why should I mind?"
Without waiting for Zhu Suosuo's response, Jiang Nansun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yuan Xudong eating the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that she had made with a normal expression. It seemed that she still had a talent for cooking, as she could make delicious scrambled eggs with tomatoes for the first time.
Thinking of this, she happily picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and put it into her mouth, ready to taste her own cooking.
"Pooh, pooh"
As soon as she put it in her mouth, Jiang Nansun spit it out immediately, leaving a greasy and salty taste. Seeing her miserable appearance, Yuan Xudong said expressionlessly:
"There's too much vegetable oil and salt, the eggs are a little old, and the tomatoes are a little raw. The only advantage is that it's relatively economical to eat. It's worthy of being the legendary dark cuisine. It's the first time I've eaten it in my life, so it's really precious!"
Listening to Yuan Xudong's venomous comments, Jiang Nansun glared at him. Zhu Suosuo and Jiang's mother tasted a chopstick each, frowned slightly and comforted her:
"Nansun, it's okay. You'll get used to it the second time. Just use less oil and salt next time."
After saying that, Zhu Suosuo glared at Yuan Xudong and said angrily:
"Yuan Xudong, if you dare to bully Nansun again, I will live with Nansun forever and let you live alone across the street."
Looking at Zhu Suosuo who was protecting her child, Yuan Xudong raised his hands in surrender and said:
"Okay, you win. From now on, only Nansun can bully me. I will never bully her!"
