Tan Shaoting nodded, "I thought it was for so other reason.
What kind are you looking for?"
"Are you trying to set up with soone?"
"Yeah, tell your requirents."
"Are you really setting up? I honestly don’t have any requirents, an average woman is fine, mainly because of our job.
It might always get complaints from the wife, right?"
"What if I introduce you to a woman who doesn’t care about your long-term busyness, inability to take care of the family, and risky job? Would you be willing?"
"Are there really people like that?"
"Yes, there are. Do you want to et her?"
"It’s not your wife’s sister who ca over yesterday, right?"
"Yes, that’s her, she’s nineteen this year. I overheard my wife and her chatting yesterday. She’s living independently at the farm now, and according to her, she can support herself.
But if she doesn’t like you, there’s nothing I can do."
"What does your little sister-in-law require?"
"She’s older than my wife."
"Your big sister-in-law."
"She didn’t specifically say, but I think it can’t be soone who doesn’t like to talk, being too quiet won’t work.
)
The most important thing is that she must be able to fancy you."
"How am I supposed to know if she likes ?"
"Then co over to my house for dinner tonight. We haven’t told her about it yet."
"Got it, even if it doesn’t work out, it’s still nice to have a al at your place.
I have to say, Tan Shaoting, you’re so stingy, it’s been a while, and you’ve never invited for a al."
"When does my wife have ti? Now that the three kids are walking, it’s a tiring ti."
"Alright, alright, stop showing off. Wait for after work tonight."
Tan Shaoting returned to his office, thinking that this matter was settled. As for whether it would work out or not, that was up to them.
At noon, it was just the two of them eating, Zhao Yanli made hand-pulled noodles with diced beef sauce for Su Yuanyuan, which tasted excellent. She even secretly fed so to the three kids.
Su Yuanyuan noticed but didn’t stop it; the kids could eat normally now, after all.
After eating, the two of them accompanied the kids to sleep, not expecting that Zhao Yanli would fall asleep too.
In the afternoon, the two still took the kids to the market.
"Yuanyuan, I feel like eating pancakes. at pancakes are even better."
"Sure, if you don’t mind the heat, you can make them tonight."
"No problem, just help mix the filling."
"I can do that."
Back ho, Zhao Yanli started preparing; being people who’ve cooked for years, she didn’t find it troubleso.
anwhile, Su Yuanyuan cooked porridge in another pot; you can’t just have dry food in the evening, right?
So by the ti Tan Shaoting and Zhang Chunsheng returned, they could sll the strong aroma as soon as they approached the house.
"at pancakes, I’ve been craving them for years."
The two entered the courtyard, and the three little ones ran over and hugged Tan Shaoting’s leg.
"Seeing your kids makes envious."
"Then perform well, and maybe your wish will co true too?"
"That’s not sothing I can decide!"
Su Yuanyuan heard the commotion outside, ca out, and smiled at Zhang Chunsheng.
"Xiao Su, sorry for the intrusion, but today’s al seems quite sumptuous!"
"Ha, Mr. Zhang has a good fortune, indeed. (Thinking: You really have nerve.)
"Absolutely, the cuisine here is different from what we have back ho. I’ve been wanting to eat at pancakes."
"Then eat plenty today, Mr. Zhang. Luckily, we made a lot, otherwise, it might not have been enough."
Tan Shaoting spoke to the kids and started setting the table in the courtyard, just with simple greens. But thinking Zhang Chunsheng wouldn’t mind.
Watching the busy Tan Shaoting, Zhang Chunsheng was really impressed.
He squatted to play with the three little ones, finding them identical and fascinating.
Really beautiful, even more than the children in New Year paintings.
The three little ones, unfamiliar with him, didn’t want to play with him; they just ran around the yard, chasing each other.
Zhao Yanli was sweating in the kitchen, but the aroma made her feel it was worth it.
The table was set, and the last batch of at pancakes was almost done.
Su Yuanyuan entered the kitchen, "Xiao Li, go wash up, I’ll take over so we can eat later.
Tan Shaoting has brought his colleague."
Zhao Yanli turned to look at Su Yuanyuan’s smiling face, recalling their conversation from yesterday, "Alright."
She felt no shyness or embarrassnt.
Earlier, Su Yuanyuan already had Tan Shaoting take Zhang Chunsheng to the living room, so Zhao Yanli wouldn’t feel awkward about showering.
The at pancakes were served, and now the three kids circled the table. They’d been eager after slling the aroma, but their mom hadn’t allowed them in the kitchen, and now that it was on the table, they knew they could eat.
"Mom."
"Mom."
"Mom."
The three kids shouted in unison, and Tan Shaoting, who was chatting with Zhang Chunsheng in the living room, was excited when he heard them call ’mom’.
Wondering what they would sound like calling ’dad’.
Zhao Yanli was quick to shower and even washed her own clothes afterward.
Now, Tan Shaoting and Zhang Chunsheng were called out to eat.
"Xiao Li, this is Tan Shaoting’s colleague, Zhang Chunsheng.
Mr. Zhang, this is my sister, Zhao Yanli, visiting from the farm."
The two shook hands, and Zhang Chunsheng got the impression that this girl was capable.
In his mind, a girl’s hand should be soft, but shaking hands with Zhao Yanli felt no different from a man’s hand, just smaller.
Zhao Yanli wasn’t interested in Zhang Chunsheng, so treated him like an ordinary person.
Everyone sat down to eat. Su Yuanyuan wanted to give the kids so at filling, but Tan Shaoting stopped her.
The three kids were a bit anxious, with Qi Wen blushing, "Dad."
Then Tan Shaoting was satisfied, quickly putting a piece of at filling into his daughter’s bowl. Qi Yan and Qi Hong seed to understand too, eagerly calling ’dad’.
Su Yuanyuan ignored them, "Mr. Zhang, don’t be shy. There are so many pancakes. Eat until you’re full."
Zhang Chunsheng nodded with a smile, "I won’t be shy. These pancakes taste really good."
"If you like them, have more.
Xiao Li, you’ve been busy for so long, eat more."
"Do I need you to tell ? You eat up too."
Tan Shaoting was just eating the pancake skin, watching the kids use their own spoons to eat the at filling in their bowls, his face filled with joy.
Zhang Chunsheng looked at his silly grin, but kept his complaints to himself, too busy enjoying the rare taste he’d been longing for, one he hadn’t had in years. Though the chef was also from the north, conditions didn’t allow for it.
