The little money-grubber just wants to lie down, Mr. Huo's sweet wife

Chapter 148 Huo Beixiao makes things worse

Zhou Jinan hung up the phone, smiled lightly, and looked up to see his family looking at him.

He put away his smile slightly and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment: "Nian Nian asked us to go out for dinner tonight."

Xiao Xiao was the most excited. She immediately asked, "Who was invited?"

"We...all of us." Zhou Jinan suddenly became serious: "Let's see if Grandpa is willing to go. He has difficulty walking these past few days..."

I'm a little worried, but I guess the old man won't want to miss having dinner at Nian Nian's today.

This is a good start, isn’t it? It means that Nian Nian is gradually beginning to accept them and is no longer rejecting them at all.

Xiao Xiao waved his hands. He was extremely happy to hear the answer he wanted. "Your grandfather's legs are not inconvenient at all. He is fine. He just wants to pretend and wait for Nian Nian to come."

"Now that Nian Nian has invited him to dinner, he will probably run faster than anyone else."

After saying this, Xiao Xiao glanced upstairs and sure enough, saw the old man standing there.

Zhou Jinan: “…”

Mr. Zhou heard it all just now. Nian Nian wants to treat them to a meal. Let’s eat, eat, eat!

Very good!

He walked down the stairs quickly, his steps brisk as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Jinan: “…”

It turns out that everything is really fine!

"Nian Nian invites us to dinner? When?!"

"tonight!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Just pack up and go. There are so many of us going, she definitely can't handle it alone. You all go and help."

Mr. Zhou made the arrangements, but he didn’t expect that he could actually eat the meal cooked by Nian Nian.

He thought... Nian Nian really didn't want to accept them.

"Oh right, this is my first time visiting Nian Nian's house, how can I go empty-handed? I have to buy something. Let's go shopping first. It's more thoughtful if we choose the things ourselves."

Old Master Zhou was extremely excited. He wished he could seize this tiny opportunity to be nice to Si Nian and give him all the good things.

"Also, Lan Yi still has a lot of shares. We should take them with her to give to Nian Nian. They belong to her mother, so they belong to her too. Yes, yes, yes, take them all and give them all to Nian Nian!"

Everyone: "..."

Zhou Jinan couldn't help but remind him, "Grandpa, we're just having dinner today. You don't have to be like this. You're putting a lot of pressure on Nian Nian. Let's prepare the gift first, and then go to Nian Nian's place early. As for other things, let's talk about it after we take Nian Nian home, okay?"

Zhou Mingli agreed and said, "Well, Dad, I think what Jinan said makes sense. Let's not make such a big fuss today. Let's prepare a gift first. It's not good to show up empty-handed."

Zhou Mingyu also nodded: "Dad, don't scare Nian Nian."

"Okay, okay, let's do it this way. Let's do as you say."

Mr. Zhou had no choice but to compromise, but after some self-reflection, he realized that he had indeed exaggerated a bit.

Don't scare Nian Nian.

**

Si Nian felt a headache looking at so many ingredients. She really wanted to call the big restaurant and ask them to prepare these ingredients and send them over.

There are so many dishes to prepare.

There are eight people in the Zhou family, and including them there are ten people in total.

That means... at least twelve dishes need to be prepared.

Just listening to it gives me a headache.

"What a headache! I have to prepare so many dishes."

Si Nian felt a headache just watching it.

Huo Beixiao couldn't help but smile when he heard Si Nian's complaints. He said in a deep voice, "Are you going to give up?"

Si Nian looked at Huo Beixiao with starry eyes, as if asking: Really? Can I really give up?

Huo Beixiao: “…”

He knew that he must not give Si Nian the wrong impression, let alone let her think that she had a chance to give up. Otherwise, she would easily take advantage of the situation and be very receptive to advice.

"Don't even think about it. I can guarantee that the Zhou family is fully prepared. It's impossible to escape."

Si Nian: "..."

What are you talking about? It's useless!

Mad!

Si Nian resigned herself to her fate and began to prepare the dishes, while Huo Beixiao also helped.

I don’t know if Huo Beixiao did it on purpose, but it was definitely too much.

“What should I do with this seafood?”

"How do I cut this beef? Do I need to blanch it?!"

"This vegetable looks quite fresh. I want more..."

"Is this chicken just going to be washed? What are you going to make, spicy chicken?!"

.....

Si Nian felt that Huo Beixiao was like Tang Monk now, reciting the spell to tighten the hoop.

Her patience was almost worn out.

"Are you here to help me or to make things worse?"

“Is there a difference?!”

Si Nian: "????"

Is there any difference?

She was furious!

"Why don't you just go sit down and I can do it myself. I can handle it alone."

After all, if a person knows how to do it, even if it is a little slow, it should take enough time.

"Well... well, I really don't know how to do it. I'll find someone to help you."

Si Nian almost vomited blood.

Damn it! ! !

You didn't promise to help me?

And then make trouble here?!

I’m so angry! So angry!

"Get out of my kitchen!!"

Huo Beixiao shrugged apologetically, then left the kitchen and went out to make a phone call.

......

Not long after, someone rang the doorbell.

She is Xiao Xiao and Zhou Mingyu's wife, Si Nian's two aunts...

Zhou Mingyu's wife is named Sun Xi.

"Aunt Xiao, Aunt Sun, you're here."

"We came as soon as you called. The others went to buy a gift for Nian Nian, so we came here to help. Didn't you say she was too busy?!"

Xiao Xiao was not at all shy. Huo Beixiao was also a child he had watched grow up, and Nian Nian would be their family member in the future.

"Then I'll trouble Aunt Xiao and Aunt Sun."

Huo Beixiao took the two of them to the kitchen: "The main reason is that I don't know much and can't help..."

She was not only despised but also kicked out of the kitchen.

When Si Nian saw the people coming, she was surprised: "Auntie, why are you here?!"

Shouldn't it take a long time?

Why are you here so early?

Xiao Xiao smiled and was very happy to see Si Nian prepared a lot of dishes. It meant that even if the Si family treated her badly, she could still live a good life.

"We came to help you. We thought you had to prepare a lot of things by yourself, and our second aunt thought you would be too busy, so we came here."

Sun Xi smiled lightly, her gestures full of elegance: "There are so many of us, how can we let you prepare everything?"

Si Nian waved his hands repeatedly and said apologetically, "No, no, I'm the one treating you to dinner. How can I ask you to help me? It's not appropriate, not appropriate."

She was a little embarrassed and a little overwhelmed.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. We're all family, so there's no need to be so particular. On the contrary, I'm really looking forward to eating the meal you cook."
