Watching Qín Jiāhuì enthusiastically interact with the children, Lín Wǎn put her apron back on. "You play with Kěkě for now. Nánnán and I will go cook.
There are still a few dishes, and it'll be ready soon." "Okay," Qián Jiāhuì replied. She really liked Lín Wǎn's cooking.
However, when she saw Lín Yínán tying a small apron around himself, she finally realized, "Wait, you said Nánnán is cooking with you? Nánnán?" Qián Jiāhuì's hand, pointing at Lín Yínán, froze in mid-air from shock.
How old is this child, and he already knows how to cook? How does Lín Wǎn usually treat her children? "Don't worry, godmother.
I really know how to cook, just like my mommy," Lín Yínán said confidently. His mommy knew how to cook when she was very young, and he was the same. "Godmother, it’s true.
My brother’s cooking is delicious. Better than in restaurants outside," Lín Yike said proudly. Her brother was amazing and could do anything.
When mommy wasn't home, her brother took good care of her. She was a happy little parasite. "He's that good?
What kind of genius is this?" Qián Jiāhuì's eyes were full of envy. Kids nowadays are all so capable.
She felt like she was living a life where she couldn't rely on her elders and couldn't boss around the younger generation. For a child this young, it would be good enough if he could eat his meals obediently. Not only was Lín Yínán good-looking, but he could also cook.
She absolutely had to learn from Lín Wǎn how she raised such a good son. When she had children, she would definitely raise them in the same direction so she could live a life of leisure, relying on her parents and then her children. But soon Qián Jiāhuì deflated.
She didn't even have a boyfriend; what was she thinking about having children for? It was too soon. "It's not that exaggerated.
I just know a few home-style dishes," Lín Yínán said maturely. In reality, he knew much more. Anything he didn't know, he could learn quickly by watching tutorials online.
But one should be humble, right? "Wǎnwǎn, your life is too good. Having these two wonderful treasures, I'm so envious," Qián Jiāhuì said casually.
But then she regretted it. She knew too well how these two children came to be. Wasn't she just reopening Lín Wǎn's wound?
But she really didn't mean it. Alas, she needs to control her loose tongue better in the future. So many times, she said things without thinking.
Her mouth ran ahead, and her brain lagged behind. Lín Wǎn didn't seem to mind. Didn't she know Qián Jiāhuì well enough?
There was no malice. She even teased herself, "My life is more than good; my genes are also great. With these two treasures, I'm so happy."
Lín Wǎn felt this was also a kind of good fortune. "You do have good genes. I can only envy you," Qián Jiāhuì felt a little better.
She knew Lín Wǎn said that just now to spare her embarrassment. "If you're envious, have two yourself earlier," Lín Wǎn's voice came from the kitchen. "I don't want to have children now; I haven't had enough fun yet, and I don't have a boyfriend either.
It's better to..." Qián Jiāhuì seemed to have flipped a switch. She turned into a chatterbox.
She couldn't stop talking. She had so much she wanted to tell Lín Wǎn. Lín Wǎn cooked in the kitchen while listening to Qián Jiāhuì talk from the dining room.
Qián Jiāhuì felt it wasn't enough, so she went into the kitchen too, helping with chores while continuing to talk. They hadn't seen each other for years, but it didn't affect their relationship. Meeting again had no sense of distance; they were just like they were in the past.
Qián Jiāhuì liked to talk, and Lín Wǎn listened patiently. Qián Jiāhuì wasn't very good at cooking. She seemed to be bustling around the kitchen, but in reality, she was mostly getting in the way.
It took nearly an hour for all the dishes and rice to be served. "It smells so good. I haven't eaten such fragrant food in so long," Qián Jiāhuì felt her stomach growling.
So Nánnán really could cook, and he cooked so well. She was truly amazed. When she was his age, she was busy causing trouble with her friends all day.
Forget about when she was four or five; even now, at almost thirty, she hardly ever cooks. She always envied people who could cook well. "Try the taste.
These two dishes were made by Nánnán," Lín Wǎn introduced. "Then I won't be polite." Qián Jiāhuì didn't refuse and immediately picked up her chopsticks to eat.
And indeed, it was delicious. It suited her taste perfectly. "Mmm, tasty, really delicious," Qián Jiāhuì praised as she ate.
She really hadn't eaten such delicious food in a long time. Recently, her parents' constant nagging about marriage had annoyed her so much that she moved out of their house and rented a small apartment. She thought she was about to start a new life of freedom.
But she never expected that eating would be the first hurdle. She tried cooking a few times and almost blew up the kitchen. Afterward, she could only eat at the company cafeteria or order takeout.
When she had time, she would eat out. She had practically eaten at every restaurant in Shēnshì. But she still felt that home-style cooking was the best.
"If you like it, Godmother, eat more," Lín Yínán said. Seeing Qián Jiāhuì wolfing down her food, he got up and served her another bowl of rice. This godmother was indeed completely different from his mommy's personality.
Outgoing but kind. As expected, Qián Jiāhuì's bowl was quickly emptied. In the end, she ate three bowls before stopping, satisfied.
After the meal, Qián Jiāhuì voluntarily washed the dishes. She couldn't just eat for free, right? Qián Jiāhuì didn't leave in the afternoon.
She hadn't seen Lín Wǎn for so long and still had many things to say. "It must have been hard on you, rushing over immediately after returning from your business trip," Lín Wǎn said. She felt a bit sorry for Qián Jiāhuì, who looked a bit tired.
"It's not hard. Seeing you and the children makes me feel tired at all," Qián Jiāhuì said with a smile. "By the way, you mentioned changing jobs a while ago.
Which company did you join? Is it tiring?" Lín Wǎn asked.
She didn't care about Qián Jiāhuì's salary but was more concerned about her health. When she graduated from college, Qián Jiāhuì was already pursuing her master's degree. Qián Jiāhuì's parents attached great importance to their daughter's education.
They were also willing to spend money on their only daughter. Not like her; she paid for her own college education. She had also thought about pursuing a master's degree, but her family said that reading too much wouldn't help a girl; it was better to marry a rich man early, and they blocked her path to graduate studies.
Even most of her salary after starting work went to her family. She had always envied Qián Jiāhuì for being doted on by her parents. If she hadn't secretly earned a lot of money with her major in college, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to study abroad for her master's degree, nor would she have had the confidence to have two children.
