Cheng Yang couldn't cook the more complicated dishes, but he could cook the simple ones.
Father and Mother Cheng had to prepare for the banquet and would probably be busy until the evening. Therefore, it was only him and Jiujiu at noon.
Cheng Yang went downstairs to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and then began to prepare lunch.
Lunch was rice. Cheng Yang prepared two side dishes and a pot of pork rib soup.
The soup was corn pork rib soup that girls especially liked.
He used boiling water to rinse out the blood in the ribs, then washed them with clean water and stewed them with corn. After two hours, a pot of sweet corn pork rib soup was formed. It was delicious and nutritious, and was especially popular with girls.
Of course, this was also the best soup that Cheng Yang could make.
When the corn pork rib soup was ready, Cheng Yang began to stir-fry the vegetables. When everything was ready, Cheng Yang covered the stir-fried vegetables with a plate to keep them warm while he went to the house to wake Jiujiu up.
Jiujiu was in a daze when Cheng Yang suddenly poked her in the arm. She was dazed for a moment. Jiujiu blinked and stared blankly at Cheng Yang. Her dazed expression made her look like a little deer that had lost its way. It was extremely cute.
Cheng Yang couldn't help but hug Jiujiu's head and kiss Jiujiu's forehead. He smiled foolishly and said, "Xiaoxiao, it's time to eat."
Jiujiu only came back to her senses when she heard Cheng Yangqin's loud and clear kiss on her forehead.
Jiujiu turned her head to look at Cheng Yang who was smiling so widely that his teeth could be seen. She raised her hand to wipe away the saliva that Cheng Yang left behind when he kissed her. "I didn't even wash my face. Don't you think it's dirty?"
Jiujiu could feel the layer of oil on her forehead after sleeping in the airless room for an entire afternoon in the summer. Cheng Yang kissed her right away and wasn't afraid of getting a mouthful of oil.
"Xiaoxiao smells good. How can it be dirty?"
Cheng Yang lovingly stroked Jiujiu's hair and continued to say with a smile, "You can eat after you wash your face. Today, I'll let you have a taste of my cooking."
Jiujiu got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to wash up while Cheng Yang brought the dishes to the table.
After washing her face, she felt much more refreshed. Jiujiu looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table and smiled sweetly at Cheng Yang. "Then you'll be the one cooking in our house from now on."
"No problem." Cheng Yang's mind was filled with Jiujiu's words, 'Our family's future'. Cheng Yang felt as if he was soaking in a jar of honey and was extremely blissful.
Jiujiu had already thought about her future with him. Was there anything else in the world that could make people happier than this?
Cheng Yang smiled and scooped a bowl of rice for Jiujiu. Seeing Jiujiu taking small mouthfuls of rice, he said sweetly and satisfactorily, "I made this soup especially for you. Try it and see if it tastes good."
Cheng Yang's culinary skills naturally couldn't compare to Jiujiu's. However, Cheng Yang had a sincere heart and the taste of his food was incomparable to his culinary skills.
Jiujiu drank two bowls of soup before starting to eat.
Jiujiu had a small appetite and was full after eating a little. On the other hand, Cheng Yang ate three big bowls of rice and even swallowed the rest of the dishes.
After Cheng Yang cleaned up the kitchen, he carried Jiujiu and sat in the living room to watch TV.
The two of them were watching a variety show that only young girls liked. Ten out of a hundred boys would be chosen to form a boy band.
It was clearly a talent show, but when the two of them sat together, they looked like pink bubbles.
Every time a boy appeared on the stage, Jiujiu would say to Cheng Yang, "This boy isn't as good-looking as you."
On the other hand, when Cheng Yang heard Jiujiu complimenting his good looks, his face instantly bloomed like a morning glory.
When Cheng Yang's parents came back, they saw Jiujiu and Cheng Yang with their heads together and whispering to each other.
When they saw their son with Jiujiu, Cheng Yang's parents felt gratified. Not only did their son know how to eat cabbage, but he also knew how to pick it up and bring it home.
Cheng Yang's mother sat on the sofa and told Cheng Yang and Jiujiu about the banquet she had booked today.
Although the hotel had air-conditioning, it was still hot because they had been running back and forth.
When Jiujiu saw that Cheng Yang's parents were sweating, she hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen to get them two cups of warm water. She also deliberately added some salt in the water.
After tasting the light saltiness of the water, Cheng Yang's parents looked at Cheng Yang, who was still sitting on the sofa and looking up at Jiujiu. They felt that it was indeed better to raise a daughter.
However, although they didn't have a daughter, their son had found a good girl. They would raise Jiujiu as their own daughter in the future.
Mr. Cheng's and Mrs. Cheng's thoughts were instantly connected.
After they finished drinking the water, Cheng Yang's mother gestured for him to bring Cheng Yang to the study. She sat beside Jiujiu and held Jiujiu's hand. "Xiaoxiao, did your father tell you where you'll be living after the engagement?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Yang's mother felt a little sad.
Jiujiu was a daughter of the Su family like Su Huan. However, Su Huan's parents couldn't wait to dote on her. They were really afraid that she would melt in their mouth and fall in their hands. However, to Jiujiu, it was as if she was picked up from the streets. Not only did they make Jiujiu give in to Su Huan in everything, they even disregarded Jiujiu's reputation and wanted Jiujiu to live in their house after the engagement.
When they went to the engagement banquet today, they called Su Huan's parents. In the end, they said that Jiujiu was about to get engaged. As Jiujiu's younger sister, Su Huan couldn't be too ugly. They were shopping for clothes with Su Huan.
However, when they thought that Su Huan couldn't be too ugly because she was Jiujiu's younger sister, they didn't think that the person who was about to get engaged was Jiujiu. Jiujiu couldn't be too ugly either.
Cheng Yang's mother knew that the five fingers had different lengths, but it was too much to favor one and discriminate against the other.
However, they were Jiujiu's biological parents after all. Cheng Yang's mother couldn't bring herself to speak ill of them behind their backs. She could only try her best to treat Jiujiu better. "Xiaoxiao, your uncle and I have a house. After you and Cheng Yang get engaged, you two will live there. What do you think?"
Although they would let Jiujiu live in the Cheng family's house, it wouldn't be in this neighborhood. Although Cheng Yang's mother said that Jiujiu and Cheng Yang would live there, in fact, she planned to let Jiujiu live there and let Cheng Yang live at home.
This was the best they could do to protect Jiujiu's reputation.
When Cheng Yang's mother proposed to let her live with Cheng Yang, Jiujiu guessed that Su Huan's father would let her live in the Cheng family's house after the engagement. However, Jiujiu didn't expect Cheng Yang's mother to come up with such an idea.
Her biological parents tried their best to exploit her, but Cheng Yang's mother, who wasn't related to her by blood, was always thinking about her.
Jiujiu was stunned. She looked at Cheng Yang's mother and said sincerely, "Auntie, thank you."
