Chapter 253 A Trip to the Military Compound (5)
“Grandpa Yuwen.” Chen Meng’er’s facial features were more sensitive than ordinary people. As soon as Yuwen Hou appeared at the door, Chen Meng’er discovered him. She waited for Yuwen Hou to act as usual, shouting loudly, “I’m back.” However… she waited for a long time, but there was no response. Only then did she stop what she was doing and raise her head, looking in the direction where Yuwen Hou was standing.
When Chen Meng’er saw the emotions in Yuwen Hou’s eyes that he could not control for a moment, Chen Meng’er almost suspected that her eyes were playing tricks on her. She actually saw Yuwen Hou, who was usually laughing and laughing, reveal such a warm and fragile expression. Chen Meng’er also unconsciously shouted out loud.
Yuwen Hou’s emotions, which surrounded his heart, also dispersed in an instant after Chen Meng’er shouted. “Ah, Meng’er, what delicious food did you make with your Madam Yuwen?” As he spoke, Yuwen Marquis walked into the kitchen with a face full of greed and joined Chen Meng’er and Madam Yuwen,
“You are a man. Normally, you always say that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen and not even want to wash the dishes. Why did you enter the kitchen today? Alright, Meng’er and I are here. You, go do what you need to do.” Madam Yuwen was quite curious about her old man’s actions, then, Madam Yuwen felt that her old man was causing trouble for her, so she chased him out of the kitchen.
Yuwen Hou, who was chased out of the kitchen by Madam Yuwen… he was very upset. “You really are something. Usually, when I don’t help you, you just keep nagging me, saying that I’m lazy, saying that I don’t care about you. Alright, now that I’m here to help you, you feel that I’m causing trouble again. I say, why are you so hard to please?” Chen Meng’er looked at the quarreling Yuwen Hou and Madam Yuwen, but they were unusually loving. She was envious. She did not know if she had the luck to find someone to be with her for the rest of her life. She did not know if she could be like Madam Yuwen when she reached the age of white hair, having someone to quarrel with and squabble with.
Madam Yuwen really put in a lot of effort today. The dishes she cooked were all her specialty dishes. When Marquis Yuwen saw that the table was filled with dishes, even though he liked the little girl, Chen Meng’er, he still could not help but feel sour in his heart. Speaking of which, his wife usually did not care about him so much.
Madam Yuwen was busy greeting Chen Meng’er, so she did not have the time to notice her husband’s expression. Therefore, she missed her husband’s rare jealous expression. Chen Meng’er, on the other hand, saw it. However, adhering to the principle that Marquis Yuwen was an elder, she couldn’t expose her elders in front of them and make them lose face, Chen Meng’er chose to ignore it. Of course, if one ignored Chen Meng’er’s increasingly bright smile, the credibility would be much higher.
“Come, come, Meng’er, sit here. Grandma will pour you some fruit juice.” Madam Yuwen poured the fruit juice for Chen Meng’er, at the same time, she said, “Meng’er, you don’t have to be so polite. Just pick whatever you want to eat. At Grandma’s house, it’s just like at home, understand?” As she said this, Madam Yuwen put down the fruit juice bottle and picked up her chopsticks, then, she picked up Chen Meng’er’s favorite dish, braised pork with red sauce.
“Yay, thank you, Grandma Yuwen. I won’t be polite.” As Chen Meng’er spoke, she glanced at Yuwen Hou, who was getting more and more upset. Chen Meng’er estimated in her heart how long this old man Yuwen could hold on for.
“Hey! Where’s mine?” Yuwen Hou couldn’t hold on. He gestured to Madam Yuwen for his empty cup. “What’s yours?” Madam Yuwen was busy serving Chen Meng’er and picking up food for her. She didn’t have the mood to care about Yuwen Hou.
“My wine.” Yuwen Hou was about to explode.
“Go get your own wine. Why are you asking me? Come, Meng’er, have some shrimp. I bought this by chance today. Quick, try it.” The Madam Yuwen rolled her eyes at Yuwen Hou, she smiled and turned her face away, continuing to serve Chen Meng’er food.
