Chapter 140: Cooking is better than the restaurant
Li Xiaoxiao also prepared some dipping sauces, including spicy, fragrant and spicy, and slightly spicy, to satisfy different people's tastes.
While she was busy, she listened to the sound of pots and pans colliding in the kitchen, her heart filled with anticipation for the upcoming reunion.
When everything was almost ready, Wang brought her family and Bai Jing and his wife into the Li family's courtyard at the same time.
"It smells so good. My cousin is so good at cooking." Bai Qiwen praised while sniffing as soon as he entered the door. His eyes were full of desire for delicious food and admiration for his cousin.
"Yes, Xiaoxiao's cooking skills are the best I have ever seen. We are all lucky to be able to eat the food made by Xiaoxiao." Wang also praised Li Xiaoxiao generously, her face filled with a happy and satisfied smile.
Hearing the compliments, Li Xiaoxiao smiled a little embarrassedly, "Grandma, cousin, please stop praising me. I'm almost floating with praise." There was a hint of shyness and modesty in her words, but the joy in her heart was hard to conceal.
"Haha, Xiaoxiao, don't be so modest. Your craftsmanship is indeed worthy of praise." Bai Jing interjected.
"Come on, come on, everyone, come in and sit down. The hot pot is ready, waiting for you to start eating." Li Xiaoxiao invited everyone into the house, her voice full of enthusiasm and anticipation.
Everyone entered the room and gathered around the hot pot. Li Xiaoxiao laid out the various ingredients on the table: fresh beef, various vegetables, mushrooms, potatoes, radishes, and more. The vibrant colors and aroma of these ingredients whetted everyone's appetite.
"Wow, there are so many delicious foods. You must have taken so much trouble, cousin." Bai Qiwen looked at the ingredients on the table and couldn't help swallowing.
"Yes, Xiaoxiao, you are always so thoughtful and considerate. It really works hard for you." Wang also sighed, her eyes full of love and gratitude for her granddaughter.
"It's okay, grandma. As long as you enjoy your meal, I'll be satisfied." Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile, her heart full of love and care for her family.
Yun Che silently poured tea for everyone, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting for Li Xiaoxiao. He knew that Li Xiaoxiao had been busy all afternoon preparing for this dinner, but she had never complained. Such a wife made him both cherish and care for her.
"Okay, everyone, don't be polite, let's eat." Bai said, and took the lead in picking up a piece of beef and putting it into the hot pot.
Everyone started to add their favorite ingredients to the hot pot. With the bubbling sound of the hot pot, the ingredients gradually became soft and cooked, and the aroma filled the air. As everyone ate the hot pot, they chatted about family matters, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
"Cousin, your hot pot is really great. It tastes better than those so-called restaurants out there." Bai Qiwen praised while eating, his face filled with a satisfied and happy smile.
"You kid, you just talk nonsense. How do you know what the food in the restaurant outside tastes like? Have you ever eaten it?" Wang Xiuqin picked up the chopsticks and knocked on Bai Qiwen's head.
"Mom, why did you hit me? I was just praising my cousin. Besides, this hot pot is really delicious. I'm not wrong..." Bai Qiwen muttered while touching his hit head.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing and eat quickly." Wang said with a smile.
Li Xiaoxiao also followed suit, "As long as everyone likes the food, I will learn to make more delicious food for you in the future."
The whole family sat together, enjoying the delicious hot pot with laughter.
Yun Che sat next to Li Xiaoxiao the entire time, picking up food for her from time to time. Their eyes would occasionally meet, filled with sweetness and tacit understanding. Li Xiaoxiao would also occasionally add soup to Yun Che's bowl. The interaction between the two of them made the family members present feel warm and at ease.
"Oh, this hot pot is so delicious! Yun Che, you are so lucky to have found such a wonderful girl like our Xiaoxiao." Wang Xiuqin praised while eating.
Yun Che's smile brightened upon hearing this. He looked at Li Xiaoxiao affectionately and said, "Yes, meeting Xiaoxiao is the greatest blessing of my life."
Li Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed slightly after hearing this. She lowered her head shyly, but her heart felt as sweet as honey. She knew that her relationship with Yun Che had been recognized and blessed by her family. This was the result of their joint efforts.
As night fell, the hot pot dinner gradually drew to a close. Everyone ate to their heart's content, their faces filled with happy and satisfied smiles. Li Xiaoxiao watched this scene, her heart filled with emotion and touching. She knew that such moments, though fleeting, were invaluable and unforgettable.
"Okay, everyone has almost finished eating, let's clear the table." Li Xiaoxiao said, standing up first.
Everyone stood up and began to help clear the dishes and the table. Yun Che quietly assisted from the side. His movements were skillful and quick, and he soon cleaned the kitchen spotlessly.
“Oh, Yun Che, you are such a good boy. It’s really hard for you.” Wang couldn’t help but praise Yun Che as he was busy.
"It's okay, grandma. This is what I should do." Yun Che replied with a smile, his eyes filled with love and respect for his family.
"Okay, okay, let's stop being polite and sit down to rest." Li Xiaoxiao said, pulling Wang and Bai to sit on the stool.
As the night deepened, everyone gradually felt tired and sleepy, and Li Xiaoxiao and Yun Che saw everyone out one by one. They knew that this reunion, although short, was full of warmth and strength, making them cherish their family and friendship even more.
Back home, Li Xiaoxiao and Yun Che were also feeling a little tired. After washing up, they sat under the eaves and chatted. Li Xiaoxiao snuggled in Yun Che's arms, feeling his warmth and strength, her heart filled with happiness.
"Yun Che, thank you for your continued support and companionship." Li Xiaoxiao said softly, her voice full of tenderness.
“It’s okay, Xiaoxiao. This is what I should do.” Yun Che replied, his voice filled with determination and commitment. “No matter what difficulties and challenges you encounter in the future, I will always be by your side, giving you strength and support.”
Hearing Yun Che's words, Li Xiaoxiao's heart was filled with emotion and warmth. She knew that having such an excellent and considerate husband was her greatest fortune and happiness. She hugged Yun Che tightly, feeling his warmth and love, as if the whole world had become beautiful.
On such a warm and beautiful night, Li Xiaoxiao and Yun Che snuggled together, enjoying each other's company and love. They knew that no matter what storms and challenges the future held, as long as they worked hand in hand and moved forward together, they would surely be able to create their own happiness and a bright future. All of this would leave a deep mark and beautiful memories in their hearts.
