"Wife, Mengmeng, come wash your hands, it's time for dinner!" Su Yunlong called out happily.
"Yay! Dinner!" Mengmeng put down her airplane toy and danced with joy.
The three of them went to the bathroom and washed their hands.
Su Yunlong brought out plates of steaming dishes.
Immediately, the entire dining room was filled with the tempting aroma of food.
"Wife, these dishes today were made by Jiang Ning and me. Try them, see if they taste good."
Su Yunlong couldn't stop grinning, a look of pride plastered on his face.
Liu Mengyan glanced at the delicious dishes on the table and immediately knew they weren't her husband's work: "Hey, honey, can you be a little less shameless?
You're trying to take credit for your son-in-law's cooking. You made so many dishes, I can smell them with my eyes closed."
Being put down by his wife in front of his son-in-law, Su Yunlong, who had been trying to show off, flushed: "Ahem, honey, the kids are here, give me some face, will you?"
At this moment, Jiang Ning happened to bring out the last dish, the Beauty-Nourishing Red Date and White Fungus Soup. Hearing his mother-in-law's words, he smiled and said, "Mom, you're mistaken. Dad did indeed do the knife work on these dishes.
He also stir-fried this Double Fresh Vegetables Stew, I just helped out a little."
"Really? Alright, then, honey, you make these dishes again tomorrow, and I'll taste them again."
Liu Mengyan chuckled, suspicion in her eyes.
"Don't worry, honey, I guarantee it won't be much worse than today."
Su Yunlong patted his chest as he spoke.
Liu Mengyan looked at Su Yunlong with a smile, "What do you mean by 'won't be much worse than today'?"
But that look sent chills down his spine.
"Ahem, honey, I'll try my best, try to make it as delicious as today."
Su Yunlong said awkwardly.
After all, the seasoning for those dishes Jiang Ning mentioned was all done by Jiang Ning. He had only learned Jiang Ning's stir-frying techniques. Jiang Ning demonstrated it to him, and he only practiced stir-frying a few times.
Thirty minutes later.
Everyone in the family leaned back in their chairs, not wanting to move at all. They were really stuffed.
"Jiang Ning, Mom has never eaten such delicious food in her life.
I was a bit greedy today, and I ate too much. If your dad had your cooking skills, it would be great."
Liu Mengyan stroked her stomach, looking at Jiang Ning with doting eyes.
"Don't worry, Mom, Dad's cooking skills will also improve by leaps and bounds in the future.
Mom, you can eat delicious food like today every day from now on."
Jiang Ning quickly came to his father-in-law's rescue.
"I hope your dad can cook like that, Mengmeng, you are the lucky one."
Liu Mengyan looked at Su Meng, feeling a little jealous and envious of her daughter. How did she have such good taste?
"Mom, what are you saying? My dad works really hard. Jiang Ning can teach him to cook more in the future.
We can just wait and eat," Su Meng pouted.
"Knock, knock."
At that moment, a knock came from the living room. Afterward, Old Hu, the butler, walked in. "Master, Madam, Old Master Qin and his son, Young Master Qin, are here."
"Quick, quick, let them in. No, no, we'll go greet them personally."
Su Yunlong stood up excitedly.
Old Master Qin was a family friend of Su Yunlong's father, Su Jianguo.
Qin Shuhan, the young master Qin, is now a director at the Cangnan Municipal Government Office and has a decent relationship with Su Yunlong.
After his father, Su Jianguo, passed away, the Qin family and the Su family didn't interact much for a while.
But since they became neighbors at the Dihao Villa, the relationship between the two families has become close again.
The Qin family is a powerful and influential family. Old Master Qin, like Su Yunlong's father-in-law, Liu Sixiong, is a soldier who survived the battlefield.
Although Old Master Qin is now in his seventies or eighties, his official connections are still strong, especially with some powerful figures in the capital who still have close contact with him.
His son, Qin Shuhan, is now a director at the Cangnan Municipal Government Office, a department-level cadre, and a powerful figure in Cangnan city.
Su Yunlong didn't expect Old Master Qin and Qin Shuhan to come over at this time, after lunch.
In the past, he would take the initiative to visit them, but he didn't dare to go often, fearing that Old Master Qin and Qin Shuhan would think he was trying to curry favor.
Su Yunlong, Liu Mengyan, Su Meng, Jiang Ning, and including Mengmeng, walked out of the living room and went to the Dihao Villa gate to personally welcome the guests.
"Uncle Qin, what brings you here today? If you need anything, just give me a call, and I'll come over," Su Yunlong said, being very humble.
"Yunlong, what are you saying? I can't come visit your place when you always come to mine?" Old Master Qin said, a bit annoyed.
"Yes, yes, of course, you're welcome. Shuhan, come on, let's go inside together."
After Su Yunlong finished speaking, he and Qin Shuhan each took one arm of Old Master Qin.
"And who is this?"
Old Master Qin looked at Jiang Ning, who was standing beside Su Meng, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Uncle Qin, this is Su Meng's husband, my son-in-law, Jiang Ning. And Mengmeng is their child."
Liu Mengyan hurried forward to explain.
"Mengmeng is already married? Why didn't you send out wedding invitations? I didn't even know."
"Yunlong, you didn't handle this very well. Your father and I are still good brothers." Old Master Qin chided.
"Uncle Qin, let's go inside and talk first."
Su Yunlong smiled, a little embarrassed.
The group walked into the living room and sat down.
"Uncle Qin, the situation is like this. Jiang Ning and Mengmeng just got their marriage certificate this morning."
"We haven't even prepared for the engagement and wedding banquet yet. We'll definitely send Shuhan a wedding invitation when the time comes.
As for Mengmeng, she's a child that Meng adopted from an orphanage," Su Yunlong explained.
"Oh, I see. Yunlong, the reason I'm here is because Shuhan is back from his business trip and has the afternoon off today.
I brought him along. Your father and I used to have such a good relationship, and you and Shuhan played together so well back then.
I don't want you and Shuhan to lose touch after I leave, do you understand what I mean?"
Old Master Qin looked at his son, Shuhan, his meaning clear.
"Dad, don't worry. My relationship with Brother Yunlong will always be good," Qin Shuhan quickly nodded, understanding his father's intent.
"Little Jiang, the fact that Su Meng fancies you means you must be something special."
Old Master Qin then looked at Jiang Ning and said in a kindly voice.
"Ahem, Grandpa Qin, I'm just an ordinary person."
Jiang Ning coughed awkwardly, his face flushed as he lowered his head.
"Dad, how can you ask someone like that?"
Qin Shuhan quickly stepped in to smooth things over, seeing Jiang Ning's reaction.
"Grandpa, my daddy is amazing, he's great at everything."
At this moment, Mengmeng, who was in Jiang Ning's arms, chimed in.
Sure enough, it was his own padded jacket, and Jiang Ning felt a warmth in his heart.
"Oh, Mengmeng, is it? Then tell me, what are your father's amazing qualities?"
Old Master Qin's eyes shone, looking at such a cute little girl, full of doting affection, extremely kind.
"My daddy is amazing at everything. The food he makes is the most delicious in the whole world.
He can also draw, and his drawings are the most beautiful in the whole world.
He can also play the piano and sing, and his singing is the most beautiful in the whole world.
And he's also amazing at dancing, and he can carve white rabbits for Mengmeng, and he can tell Mengmeng fairy tales..."
Mengmeng chattered on and on.
The adorable appearance made everyone present burst into laughter.
