Chapter 71: He actually praised himself as good-looking!

Gu Chen smiled, 'Daughter-in-law, it's time to eat!'

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran looked over at the table.

Upon seeing it, she was shocked!

Gu Chen had actually made so much delicious food!

And it was all meat!

How could they finish eating such a big table!

She had been so busy watching TV that she hadn't noticed that Gu Chen had brought in so many dishes!

And everything looked so appetising, it made her feel very hungry just looking at it.

'This is a waste, there's so much, how can we eat it all?'

Ji Bianran was a little surprised.

Gu Chen smiled, 'It's Chinese New Year.'

In the past, he had neither the means nor the desire to cook, so Ji Bianran had basically always taken care of the New Year's Eve dinner.

Plus, they didn't have much money, so at most there was one fish, plus a plate of braised pork, and two dishes.

But this year is different, this year he has money!

Not only does he have money, he also has god-level cooking skills, so he has to let his daughter-in-law and daughter have a good meal, doesn't he?

Ji Pianran looked at the dishes on the table with a heartbroken face.

'But won't this be a waste?'

Normally, this would be enough for their family to eat three or four meals.

They will not finish all of it in one meal.

She feels distressed at the thought of waste.

Gu Chen sits down at the table with a carefree air, smiling at her, 'It's not a waste. Besides, we are living from day to day. If we can't finish it all, we can eat it tomorrow.'

Ji Pianran looks at the large table of dishes, and suddenly her small mouth twitches, and she smiles.

That smile was gentle like a lily in bloom, and it also carried a subtle feeling of happiness that came from the bottom of her heart.

She was happy, but she wasn't happy because she had made so many delicious dishes.

Rather, it was the first time in three years that Gu Chen had celebrated the New Year with herself and her child with such dedication.

Not only had she bought a TV, she had also prepared such a table of dishes.

This kind of life had appeared in her dreams more than once.

It was happy, warm, and full of hope!

I hope that their lives will be just like Gu Chen said, with fish and abundance every year!

Tangtang saw that the little wooden table was piled high with all kinds of delicious food.

She didn't care about looking for her mother.

She said to herself, 'Let the little tadpole go find her mother. She's not a little tadpole, she wants not only her mother, but also her father!'

Xiao Nizi twisted her bottom and immediately climbed down from Ji Pianran's lap.

She took a few small steps and threw herself into Gu Chen's arms.

'Daddy, fish! Fish!'

It has to be said that lifestyle is a truly terrifying thing. It is intangible, but can unknowingly instil a habit in a person, and over time, that habit can even become a preference.

Although Tang Tang is only a little over two years old, her love of fish is exactly the same as Ji Pianran's.

The little one snuggled up in Gu Chen's arms and looked at the sweet and sour carp on the table with eyes that were as big as saucers.

She really wanted to try some!

Gu Chen looked at his daughter, whose mouth was watering, and couldn't help but laugh.

He picked up the chopsticks, quickly chopped up the spring onions and ginger on top, picked up a piece of fish, first put it in Ji Pianran's bowl, and then picked up another piece and put it in Tang Tang's bowl.

'Daughter-in-law, come and eat,'

and then started picking the fish bones out of the fish for her.

Although his daughter was cute, her mother was also cute!

Without her mother, there would be no daughter.

Therefore, the first piece naturally had to be given to Ji Bianran first.

Ji Bianran got up from her stool and also came to the table, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

It was obvious that she was very happy.

Gu Chen's cooking is really good. The sweet and sour carp has a hint of sweetness and sourness, just the right amount of sweetness, and the slight sourness really whets the appetite.

It's simply the perfect appetiser.

Gu Chen de-boned the fish, but was afraid of scalding the child, so she blew on it carefully to cool it down before feeding it to Tangtang.

The little girl actually couldn't bring herself to swallow the delicious bite after she finished eating it.

She chewed it over and over again before swallowing it.

Ji Pianran was not so particular. After all, she was an adult, so she put the fish in her mouth right away.

It had to be said, Gu Chen's cooking skills were really something.

It turned out that she was always full after eating a little, and now she could eat a whole bowl of rice.

Sometimes it wasn't enough.

She blinked, her big, watery eyes full of curiosity.

'Tell me, where did you learn to cook like this, how did you suddenly become able to cook?'

Gu Chen casually said while helping Tang Tang pick at the bones, 'Oh, I learned from the chef at the factory canteen.'

He worked in the city and also at the factory, so if he wanted to learn cooking, he could only learn from the chef at the factory.

Sure enough, Ji Pianran didn't doubt it at all.

She picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Tang Tang's bowl before saying, 'This chef is very good at cooking and teaches very well.'

Gu Chen snickered inwardly.

It seems that Ji Pianran is very satisfied with her cooking.

'Well, it turns out that he was a chef at a big hotel, but for some reason he ended up in our factory canteen.'

After Gu Chen finished speaking, he looked at the time. It was already 8 o'clock, and the Spring Festival Gala had started!

He hurriedly stood up and went over to turn the TV to CCTV-1.

A family of three happily eating New Year's Eve dinner and watching the Spring Festival Gala, this is what it means to celebrate the New Year!

On TV, the band Rouhuan passionately sang 'Spring Comes and Goes'.

Ji Pianran frowned as she watched, her expression indescribable.

Gu Chen had thought Ji Pianran would be very happy, but she couldn't believe the expression on her face.

'What's wrong? Don't you like it?'

Ji Pianran's eyes were still on the TV, and she shook her head, her expression serious.

'The song is not bad, but their movements are so exaggerated.'

In the year 2000, in this somewhat backward and isolated rural village, it was normal not to have seen rock and roll.

Some people didn't even know what rock and roll was.

Ji Pianran's puzzled expression was really cute.

Gu Chen couldn't help but smile, 'This is called rock and roll, it's popular now!'

Ji Pianran nodded half-understandingly, 'Oh, so do you think there will be Nicholas Tse?'

In this era, Nicholas Tse was still young and very popular.

Especially the village radio station, it played Nicholas Tse's songs all the time.

So Ji Pianran was still quite familiar with Nicholas Tse.

As the two were talking, the programme on TV finished, followed by an international chapter song and dance, 'Welcome Spring'.

The international chapter on TV danced beautifully, and Ji Pianran watched intently.

Little Tangtang even exclaimed directly, 'Auntie, you're beautiful!'

Gu Chen was taken aback, and then laughed, "So is mummy beautiful or auntie beautiful?'

The little guy tilted his head and said without thinking, "Mummy is the most beautiful!'

Her mummy is the most beautiful, no one can compare!

Looking at the little guy's proud expression, Gu Chen laughed heartily, 'Dad also thinks that mum is the most beautiful, no one is as beautiful as mum!'

This sentence made Ji Pianran, who was still watching TV, jump.

Did Gu Chen just say that she was the most beautiful?
