Chapter 244: Chapter 249: A Flower Chapter 244: Chapter 249: A Flower Driven by the principle that it’s better for two people to be unlucky together than just one, Chen Yingjie yelled, “Su Huai’an, get down here!” Humph! Waiting for this snail, there’s no way he should be the only one suffering.
Mr. Su turned around and only then realized that what was supposed to be two referees sohow beca one without him noticing. This darn kid is slippery as an eel.
“You impudent brat, get down here—no wonder I always lose at chess, it’s because the referee wasn’t chosen properly.”
Wearing a smoky gray wool sweater, Su Huai’an appeared at the top of the second-floor staircase, probably half-asleep from being yelled at. His slightly curly hair was a bit ssy, looking quite different from usual.
“I’m coming!” Unable to deal with the two old n, Su Huai’an listlessly descended the stairs.
“Cough, cough, cough…” Su Hai, seeing his grandnephew’s pitiable state, gently said, “It’s alti already, why are you still coming down?”
Both old n glared at Su Hai and said in unison, “No peace until death!”
“No peace until death!”
“Fine! You keep up your ‘no peace until death.'” Su Hai changed his shoes and, while unbuttoning his coat, said, “I just ca in and saw Yingzi’s girl bringing a group of young ladies over to visit.”
Old Sir Chen tossed the chess piece and said, “I’m going ho. Yingzi told soone’s coming over to cook tonight, she even called during the day.”
“No way! You have to lose to once before you can leave.” Mr. Su tenaciously held on, not letting go.
“Hey! You old coot, aren’t you ever going to stop? Enough with the stubbornness, and now you want to kidnap ? That’s illegal, you know?” Old Master Chen glared, “Let go now, or I’ll stay at your place permanently.”
“You, Chen Wulai, have the cheek to say that. Not only do you mooch off my house every day, but now you’re also turning it around on ?”
“You’re the one turning it around. You regret your moves every day.”
Seeing that the two old n were about to start arguing again, Chen Yingjie really wanted to just leave them and walk away.
Su Huai’an squinted his eyes, looking half-asleep.
Su Hai’s expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile on his lips, “I heard that a sharpshooter who scored three tens is here as well.”
“What?” Mr. Su dropped his chess piece and, with a warm attitude, took Old Master Chen’s arm, “Let’s go, let’s go over to your place today. I heard your house is making dinner—what a rare treat! I must show my support.”
“Then let’s hurry!”
The two old n couldn’t wait any longer.
Su Huai’an was also intrigued and, without even bothering to put on a coat, followed them out.
Su Hai was in the middle of undressing when he paused with his buttons half undone. He looked at the suddenly empty living room and shook his head with a wry smile. So everyone left just as he arrived, huh?
He would call people over, they’d definitely co. Yet, they eagerly ran off.
Really, such old children, growing older and acting more like kids.
**********
The Chen family’s living room was intermittently enveloped in delicious aromas.
“Slls so good!” Chen Huaying sniffed, feeling for the first ti that their house had a holy scent.
“What kind of at is this?” Beef was used for farming, so getting so for eating was not easy. Wu Youli, despite her age, had never tasted beef.
“It’s the sll of beef.” Liu Yilan felt her mouth water, “I’ll go check when we can eat.”
“I’m going too!”
“I’m going too.”
Lu Dabao, petite and fast, was the first one to rush to the kitchen but was stopped by Sheng Ning before she could enter.
“It’s all ready!” Sheng Ning smiled at everyone and reminded, “Chen Huaying, go call Grandpa. Everyone else, go wash your hands and set the table. I still have one flatbread left to bake; once you bring everyone back, we can start eating.” Initially, she wanted to cook rice, but considering the Northern people’s preference for flour-based food and the presence of elderly, she made millet porridge and fluffy, soft flatbread.
It was easy to digest and filling enough for the young.
“Hahaha… Look how thoughtful my granddaughter is.” A deep laugh erged behind them, but Sheng Ning, back at the kitchen focused on baking flatbread, barely listened.
Everyone turned around and, goodness—when had so many people gathered in the house?
A group of young girls, seeing Chen Yingjie and Su Huai’an standing behind the two old n, blushed and shyly lowered their heads.
Especially Su Huai’an, wearing just a sweater and looking lazy and irresistibly charming in his just-awakened state.
The two of them didn’t take the girls’ reactions to heart but were curious about the kitchen.
Catching a whiff of the aroma in the air, Chen Yingjie took a deep breath and inwardly sighed, pfda, finally so good taste. When the Captain marries his elder sister-in-law, he could frequently co over for free als.
Su Huai’an’s eyes shone unusually bright. He couldn’t believe a sharpshooter could also cook so marvelously! If she were his student, he would never allow such a waste of talent.
“Grandpa, you really have a thick face,” Chen Huaying said frankly, “How can you praise in front of so many people? You should be low-key and humble.”
Old Master Chen widened his eyes, “Granddaughter, you truly take after .” A thick face is essential for getting by!
“Go away… You’re even proud of it, look how you’ve led Yingzi astray,” Mr. Su said with disdain.
“You should mind your image in front of the young ladies.”
“Old man’s image is just fine…”
“Cough, cough, cough…” Chen Huaying hastily coughed, and Old Master Chen, rembering to be mindful in front of others, quickly held back the rest of his words.
“Yingzi, quickly introduce .”
Chen Huaying slapped her forehead and introduced, “This is my teammate, Liu Yilan, this is Wu Youli, here is Zhang Hongi, and the last one needs no introduction.”
“Lu Dabao!” The two old n obviously liked Lu Dabao, affectionately ruffling her hair.
Sheng Ning, hearing the noise outside, quickly finished the soup and ca out.
“This is Sheng Ning!” Chen Huaying, pulling her forward, grandly introduced, “A flower of our General Union Dance Troupe, and the most delicate rose at that.” She burst out laughing after saying this.
Chen Yingjie frowned in displeasure, sternly glancing at his sister.
This is the elder sister-in-law, the Captain’s wife—she couldn’t be joked about carelessly. If the Captain knew, he’d certainly flay him alive.
Su Huai’an’s eyes revealed an astonishing brightness, fixed intently on Sheng Ning.
From the mont Sheng Ning appeared, Mr. Su’s weathered eyes sparkled intensely. As if bewitched, he couldn’t take his eyes off Sheng Ning for even a second.
