"What are you doing? Why are you all sitting there not talking or eating? Are you waiting for my bowl of soy sauce beef?" Aunt Zhao's voice broke the silence for a moment.
Several people followed the sound and saw Aunt Zhao walking over with a plate of soy sauce beef in her smiling hand.
As soon as they entered, they smelled the aroma of beef.
"Sister Zhao, why did you really send it over? You can eat this meat yourself, take it back quickly!" Chen Liyang knew that Aunt Zhao's family was not wealthy, and beef tendon meat was expensive.
At first, when Aunt Zhao said she would bring beef to them, he thought it was a polite comment, otherwise he would not let her bring it regardless of what he said.
Aunt Zhao replied nonchalantly: "This is my first time trying to braise it myself. Please try it and see if it tastes good."
"Then thank you Sister Zhao. The braised beef is bright in color, and the meat is in one big piece. It smells delicious." Looking at the beef that had been placed on the table, I couldn't help but brush off Aunt Zhao's kindness, and then Picked up the chopsticks and took a piece.
"And you guys, don't just watch, try them all." Aunt Zhao greeted the children.
Only then did a few people pick up their chopsticks, each of them picked up a piece and chewed it slowly.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Aunt Zhao asked with a smile. The lines around her eyes and tail were squeezed together, but she looked particularly friendly.
Chen Liyang gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "That's not bad. Sister Zhao, you can open a restaurant with your cooking skills."
Aunt Zhao couldn't close her mouth when she heard such a high evaluation: "Brother Liu said the taste is just average. We have been married for almost 20 years. To praise someone is like killing him."
Having said that, the happiness on her face cannot be faked.
In this life, no matter how hard and tiring life is, isn’t it just for happiness?
"Brother Liu doesn't like sweet words. As long as he treats Sister Zhao well, he is a good man." Chen Liyang said with a smile.
Aunt Zhao snorted: "That's all he's good at, otherwise who would live with a guy like him who can't do anything for a long time?"
While Aunt Zhao was talking, Chen Liyang gave Wan Ning a piece of beef to eat, and Wan Ning took it into her mouth obediently.
Seeing Chen Liyang doting on her child so much, Aunt Zhao suddenly thought of their mother whose whereabouts were unknown, and couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Chen, is there still no news about your wife?"
No matter how kind and attentive Chen Liyang is to his children, Wanning is still a girl. Now that she is young, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with her, and there is no need to be so taboo.
But when I go to elementary school, my mother still has to take care of many things.
After hearing this, Chen Liyang didn't have much reaction. He just replied lightly: "Not yet."
Whether the child's mother comes back or not, the five children have to follow him anyway. The fruits of his own labor are not meant to be used as wedding dresses for others.
Not even a wife in name. Who knows if she has anyone to date abroad.
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she couldn't help but sigh: "It's really hard for you to take care of five children by yourself."
In fact, sometimes when I think about it, she can quite understand Chen Liyang.
He became a father when he got married, and he was a father of five children. Before he and his wife had a fever, he went abroad. He stayed there for several years without any news or sending a penny to his family.
No matter how bad he was to his children, he never abandoned them and ran away alone. Otherwise, how could so many children survive?
"I don't have to work hard, the children are very sensible!" Chen Liyang's voice was soft, and his eyes were like whirlpools that made people mesmerized.
Wan Ning raised her head and looked at the gentle person blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Why are you looking at Dad like this? Are you embarrassed to be praised by Dad? But what Dad said is true. You are really sensible and good!" He said from the bottom of his heart.
"I have never praised my children so much. It seems that I will have to learn from you, Xiao Chen, how to get along with children." Aunt Zhao joked.
Chen Liyang thought of his experience of being single for thirty years, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to get along with children, he just did whatever he felt comfortable with.
"Okay, I won't disturb your family's meal." Aunt Zhao said and was about to leave.
Chen Liyang said hurriedly: "Sister Zhao, you are already here, sit down and eat together, how can I let you go back?"
Aunt Zhao shook her head: "No, no, they are still waiting for me. You eat, you eat."
Looking at Aunt Zhao's leaving figure, Chen Liyang's voice sounded: "I'll deliver the plate to you later."
"Not urgent……"
After watching Aunt Zhao leave, Chen Liyang put Wan Ning back in her seat: "Wan Ning, be good, you can eat by yourself!"
He doesn't mind the trouble and can feed it by himself, but the child still cannot be raised to death. It is best if he can feed himself. Excessive spoiling is tantamount to harming the child.
I originally thought that Wan Ning would eat by herself obediently, but she didn't expect that her mouth dropped and she looked at Chen Liyang with tears in her eyes. Not to mention how pitiful she looked.
Chen Liyang's heart almost broke when he saw it. He asked softly: "Wan Ning, what's wrong with you? Do you want daddy to feed you?"
"Hey!" Wan Ning said one word in a sultry tone.
"Oh, my good daughter is acting coquettishly with her father!
Okay, daddy feeds you, there is really nothing I can do about you. "My daughter is acting like a spoiled child. Let alone feeding her, even if she wants the moon in the sky, Chen Liyang has to find a way to pick it off.
No wonder people say they are not afraid of their daughter crying, but they are afraid that her daughter will die if she acts coquettishly and cries again.
Looking at Chen Liyang who was feeding and teasing his sister, the four Zhou Chengdong brothers' eyes turned red with envy.
They also want their soft and waxy sisters to act coquettishly to them and want their hugs.
Unfortunately, my sister seemed to only recognize Chen Liyang and didn't even look at their brothers.
After Chen Liyang fed Wanning, he started to eat on his own. Zhou Wanning seemed to be quite dependent on him, but this feeling made him feel like a wet nurse.
The braised beef that Aunt Zhao sent was very delicious. There were all the other dishes left, but the beef was finished.
Chen Liyang didn't know whether the children thought Aunt Zhao's cooking was delicious, or whether they liked beef themselves.
He planned to buy more beef for them to eat in a few days. The children were growing, and eating beef would not only supplement protein but also help their bodies grow.
The eldest brother and the second child cook the food, so the job of washing the dishes naturally falls on the third child.
The four brothers are used to housework, and washing dishes is a common occurrence.
Zhou Chengxi had no objection to washing the dishes by himself and took the initiative to put away the dishes without saying a word.
After the meal, I was sweating profusely.
In this damn weather, even if I turn on the electric fan, it's still extremely hot.
Thinking that the air conditioner in the room had not been turned off, Chen Liyang put down Wan Kui and carried Wan Ning into his room, planning to take her to take a nap with him.
As soon as he put Wan Ning on the bed, he saw the eldest, second, and fourth children following him in. He couldn't help but feel funny: "Isn't the air conditioning in the other room turned on? Why did you come in? Do you want to sleep with dad too?" ?”
