Chapter 84: She spoke up for herself

As long as Mum and Dad like it, he can buy it for the rest of his life!

Hearing this, Shen Cuizhi's heart felt like it had drunk honey.

In fact, if Gu Chen really bought it for her every day, she couldn't take it, but at least Gu Chen dared to say it.

Unlike those two, they are annoying to look at.

After the wine was finished, the family began to eat.

Gu Zhigang had been hungry all morning, so as soon as he picked up his chopsticks, he took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. The moment it touched his tongue, his face changed.

This meat is really delicious!

He looked at everyone in surprise, 'This meat is delicious!'

After hearing him say that, Liu Lizhen and Fan Xiaoli also picked up their chopsticks and busily put it in their mouths.

'Mmm, the meat is really delicious today!'

'Yes, Mum, you're being biased. Is it because Gu Chen is back that even your cooking has changed?' Fan Xiaoli took a bite, but it wasn't enough, so she took another piece for herself.

Shen Cuizhi gave Fan Xiaoli an annoyed look.

What did she mean by saying that her cooking had changed?

Had she treated them badly?

She always made sure that they ate first, even when the rice was ready!

Her heart was made of stone, and no matter how much she tried to warm it up, it would never do!

Her face looked a little ugly. 'Well, I have two faces!'

Fan Xiaoli knew she had said the wrong thing and immediately shut up, lowering her head and not daring to speak.

Ji Pianran smiled, 'Second sister, this was made by Gu Chen.'

Hearing that it was made by Gu Chen, everyone was shocked.

Goodness, this Gu Chen is really something, she's gone to New Oriental in a few years without being seen?

This rice is cooked to a level comparable to a chef.

Shen Cuizhi also took a bite and, to be honest, it was really delicious.

She looked at Gu Chen and was puzzled. 'Chen'er, you say you have such a good skill, it would be great to become a chef, why do you sell vegetables?'

She felt that being a chef must earn more money than selling vegetables, and being a chef sounds much more respectable than selling vegetables.

Gu Chen smiled and said, 'Mom, actually selling vegetables is pretty good.'

After saying that, she took a bite of the dumpling, a pork dumpling. The taste had not changed at all, it was exactly the same as when she was a child, the only difference being that there was more meat and it was more fragrant.

Shen Cuizhi must have deliberately put in more because she was worried about her.

Gu Hang, who had heard everyone speak so highly of the food, also took a bite.

Without exception, he also found it delicious.

To be honest, he hadn't seen the child for a few years, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw everyone waiting for him to eat.

He hadn't even had a chance to ask a single question, let alone find out what Gu Chen was doing.

He heard Shen Cuizhi say that he was selling vegetables.

Gu Hang also felt that with such a skill, he really should become a cook.

Selling vegetables really loses money.

He glanced at Gu Chen and said, 'Chen'er, your mother is right, it is indeed better to be a cook than to sell vegetables, at least you don't have to suffer the cold outside, it is really hard to work in the cold winter and the scorching summer.'

Hearing her father-in-law's words, Liu Lizhen was very pleased. She looked pleased with herself and said, 'Yes, I've always said that selling vegetables is no good. Mum was even saying that about me, and now Dad has said it too. It's just not as good as learning a trade at the furniture factory with our Zhigang.'

Ji Pianran had been holding Tangtang in her arms and feeding dumplings to the little girl.

When she heard Liu Lizhen's words, she couldn't help but glance at her.

She wasn't stupid, and everyone could understand what Liu Lizhen was saying.

It's just that she thinks her husband is amazing, a carpenter.

But she, Ji Pianran, is not bad either!

What's wrong with selling vegetables?

Gu Chen earns his money through hard work, through his labour from dawn to dusk.

She doesn't think there's anything wrong with selling vegetables, whether it's a carpenter or a cook, she never feels that Gu Chen's work is anything to be ashamed of.

On the contrary, she is deeply grateful that he can rely on his own hands to give her and her son a better life.

She fed the half dumpling in her hand slowly into her mouth before speaking lightly.

'Sister-in-law, what Mum and Dad are saying is for Chen Zi to become a chef, not a carpenter.'

Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat.

His wife had spoken up for him!

She had always impressed him as calm, composed and unconcerned.

But just now, he had clearly read a hint of sharpness in her indifferent tone.

She was defending him!

Upon hearing her mother's words, Xiaotangtang also looked approvingly. Her little puffed-up cheeks moved as she ate, and she said in a baby voice, 'Daddy is the best, the best at selling vegetables!'

Her father is the best person in the world, and she won't accept any rebuttals!

The cute look of the little one made everyone laugh out loud.

After laughing, they couldn't help but look at their own sons, who were buried in their food.

Even the proud Liu Lizhen couldn't help but glance at her own son Xuxu, and this glance happened to meet her son's somewhat dazed gaze.

'Mom, give me some more meat!'

Liu Lizhen: '...'

Every father wants to be the big hero in his child's eyes. Hearing Tantan praise Gu Chen, Gu Zhigang couldn't help but smile and glance at his side at Xuxu, wanting his son to praise him too, so as to give him a boost.

'Xu Xu, did you have fun with the slingshot I made for you the other day?'

Upon hearing this, Xu Xu shoved all the food in his bowl into his mouth, without looking up, and mumbled, 'Dad, give me some more meat!'

Gu Zhigang was speechless. He had always said that his son was like a leather jacket, good-looking but not practical. Now, looking at him, he realised that this was indeed the case.

Look at the pretty face of the other people's daughters, and then look at your own son. How can he still only know how to eat even though he is so big!

Xu Xu's words made everyone laugh.

Especially Gu He.

Every day when he came home, the first thing his son said to him was, 'Raise your hands, you're surrounded!'

The most common thing he said was, 'You be the White Bone Demon, I'll be the Monkey King!'

What a hero.

The meaning of his existence in his son's eyes is probably to act as different demons.

Gu Hang coughed twice. He had long since become accustomed to the behaviour of his great-grandson. Now he was curious about how Gu Chen was doing selling vegetables. Since the child knew that he had returned home, the parents must be concerned about the child's living situation.

He picked up a piece of beef and then looked at Gu Chen, 'Chen'er, how is your vegetable business?'

Gu Chen swallowed the dumpling in his mouth and said seriously: 'Well, it's OK. I earned a little money a few days ago selling some wolfberries. Anyway, I can build a second floor this year. I can only hope that it gets better and better.'

After all, it's just the beginning, and he doesn't know how much he'll earn each day in the future.

Hearing that he's building a second floor, Liu Lizhen's heart is filled with jealousy.

Her husband Gu Zhigang is so good at earning money, but he still doesn't have enough to buy a courtyard, and Gu Chen was able to build a second floor just a few days ago?

Is this robbing or earning money?

He was able to build a second floor, and he's calling it pocket change?

What about the 3,000 yuan she saved?

Is that just pocket change?

Besides, after building the second floor, they must take their mother-in-law away to enjoy it, right?

Then their own children will be left unattended again!

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

She immediately reached out and gave Gu Zhigang a hard twist on his thigh.
