Chapter 250: Escape from the Mountains (31)
"This is my cousin, we are in the same class."
Chen Jiahui said to Xiaocao, "This is Grandma Yang, Professor Yang. She used to teach computer science at S University."
"I heard that Grandma Yang's husband and Li Yanshu's grandfather used to be colleagues. Li Yanshu's grandfather also liked Grandma Yang, but his colleague got there first, hahahaha."
Xiaocao: “…”
Li Yanshu, who had just opened the door, heard Chen Jiahui's words and said helplessly, "Jiahui, don't make fun of the elders."
Chen Jiahui said confidently, "Isn't this something everyone knows?"
She walked into the entrance hall with ease, took out her slippers from the shoe cabinet, changed her shoes and walked in.
Li Yanshu stood aside and helped Xiaocao get a pair of slippers.
"Thank you." Xiaocao put on slippers and walked in.
Xiaohua got out of school early and was picked up by the driver at Li's house. She was sitting in the living room watching TV. When she saw her sister coming, she immediately ran to Xiaocao.
"Sister, Xiaohe gave me two candies today. One is for you." Xiaohua took out a milk candy from her pocket and put it into Xiaocao's hand.
Xiaohe is Xiaohua's deskmate and they get along well at school. Xiaohua often brings snacks from home to school to share with Xiaohe.
"Thank you, Xiaohua." Xiaocao opened the package and put it in his mouth.
Seeing this, Chen Jiahui pouted and said, "Why do you only give it to her? Don't I have a share?"
Xiaohua immediately took out another one from her pocket: "This is for Sister Jiahui."
Chen Jiahui then smiled: "That's right." After saying that, she tore off the candy wrapper and put it into her mouth.
Xiaohua looked at Li Yanshu and said, "...I only have two left. I'm sorry, Brother Yanshu, there are no more for you."
Li Yanshu chuckled: "It's okay, there's still plenty of candy at home."
At this time, Yu Xi came out of the kitchen and said when she saw someone coming, "Yanshu, come and serve the dishes."
Chen Jiahui walked forward and said in a charming voice, "Wow, Auntie, you cooked for me today. I'm in for a treat."
She turned to Xiaohua and Xiaocao and said, "Aunt Yu's cooking is delicious."
Yu Xi smiled: "Your uncle is not coming home today, and my aunt is on leave today, so I'll just cook. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
Chen Jiahui took Xiaocao and Xiaohua to the bathroom to wash their hands.
This is Xiaocao's first time visiting the Li family.
Li Yanshu's home is very warm and cozy. It can be seen that Li Yunhang and Yu Xi are both people who love life very much.
The balcony is full of plants, and there are potted flowers and plants everywhere in the room. Family photos, as well as Li Yanshu's award certificates and congratulatory messages are hung on the walls of the corridor.
It can be seen that Li Yanshu grew up in a happy and complete family.
After washing my hands, I came out and found the table filled with delicious home-cooked dishes.
Yu Xi said, "I'm from the north, and I only know how to cook northern dishes. I wonder if you two can get used to them."
Xiaocao smiled and said, "Xiaohua and I are not picky eaters."
"Aunt Yu's dishes are delicious no matter if you are from the north or the south!" Chen Jiahui couldn't wait to start eating.
Yu Xi looked at her with a smile: "If you like it, eat more. Come on, eat quickly. We don't follow any rules when eating at home."
As she spoke, she picked up two pieces of fish for Xiaohua and Xiaocao.
Watching the children eating with such relish, Yu Xi sighed, "In the blink of an eye, Xiaocao and Jiahui have grown into big girls."
She still remembered that Xiaocao was thin and small when he first came, but now he is taller than Jiahui.
"Xiaocao is 1.65 meters tall now, right?"
Chen Jiahui said, "More than that, I think she's closer to 5 feet 4 inches. She plays tennis, so she grew up fast."
Yu Xi said, "Don't you like running and jumping too?"
"My mom isn't tall, otherwise I wouldn't be this tall." Chen Jiahui said, "Xiaocao, your dad must be very tall, right?"
Chen Jiahui is a careless person. She realized that what she said was inappropriate after she said it, so she immediately looked at Xiaocao.
Xiaocao's expression remained unchanged as she replied calmly, "He's not even 1.7 meters tall, and he has a limp."
There was silence at the dinner table for a moment.
Li Yanshu raised his eyes to look at Xiaocao and saw that her expression and tone were calm, as if she was not offended at all.
But Li Yanshu felt that she was too rational and too detached.
Chen Jiahui knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she had to shut her mouth. Too much talk will lead to mistakes.
Yu Xi tried to smooth things over, saying, "Growing taller doesn't necessarily depend on genetics. You're only sixteen or seventeen, so you'll still grow taller. Come on, eat some more ribs."
"Today's meal must be finished for me. No leftovers allowed."
The food Yu Xi cooked was indeed delicious, especially the three fresh vegetables dish, which Xiaohua loved the most. She ate a big bowl of rice full of it.
As a parent, I love to see my children enjoy their meals, so I also served Xiaohua a bowl of soup.
After dinner, Xiaocao stood up to help Yu Xi clean up the dishes.
Seeing this, Yu Xi immediately stopped him: "No need, let Li Yanshu come."
Li Yanshu also took the bowl and chopsticks from Xiaocao's hands and said gently, "Let me do it."
Xiaocao didn't insist anymore. She put the bowl and chopsticks in Li Yanshu's hands and left the restaurant.
"I cut up some fruit and had some after dinner."
Yu Xi brought a pile of fruit plates from the kitchen and placed them on the coffee table. "This is from Yanshu's father's students. They are wild apples grown in the mountains. They are sour and sweet and delicious."
"Thank you, Auntie." Xiaohua said.
"There are also grapes here. They are quite sweet. Eat more."
Xiaocao picked up a grape, peeled it and put it to Xiaohua's mouth.
Seeing this, Chen Jiahui teased, "You really dote on her. You even peel the grapes for her."
Xiao Cao also peeled one and gave it to Chen Jiahui: "You want to eat one too?"
Chen Jiahui took it with her mouth and nodded: "Hmm, it's quite sweet."
Li Yanshu, who had cleared the table, walked over, wiping his hands. "What's sweet?"
Chen Jiahui raised her head: "Grapes, grapes are very sweet."
"Grapes that have been peeled by someone are sweet. Do you want to eat some?" Chen Jiahui asked.
Li Yanshu looked at Xiaocao and saw her peeling grapes for Xiaohua, so he shook his head: "No, do you want some milk? There's milk in the refrigerator."
Chen Jiahui touched her stomach and said, "No, I just drank two bowls of soup."
"Everything is good when I come to your house, but I always have to be full before I leave."
Li Yanshu smiled and said, "You are all too thin. Eat more."
Yu Xi stood in the restaurant and said, "Yanshu, take the sisters out for a walk. Don't sit there, it's easy to get indigestion."
After hearing this, Chen Jiahui immediately stood up, pulled Xiaocao up and said, "Let's go for a walk, let's go for a walk."
If you eat too much, you really need to walk around to digest it, so the group left the Li family.
When passing by Professor Yang's house, Xiaocao saw a tall man standing at the door. She looked up inadvertently and found that it was Wu Menghe's brother.
Wu Mengchuan also noticed Xiaocao. The two looked at each other and were both stunned.
Both recognized each other, but neither knew the other's name.
After a few seconds of silence, Xiaocao was the first to greet him: "Brother."
Wu Mengchuan nodded and looked at the people around her, guessing that they might be visiting relatives or friends.
Professor Yang had just walked out of the house and was surprised to see this situation and asked, "Mengchuan, do you know each other?"
