Just like Chen's mother's way of doing things, people and things that she didn't like were indifferent. That was good, so that she wouldn't have to deal with it. Lin Peran learned from her.
It was only when she saw that Rinperan had not put on her muddy shoes that her ugly face softened a little, though she was a little stingy, at least for the sake of hygiene.
For lunch, Lin Peran cooked three dishes and a soup, Chen Mu, Chen father, and Chen Mannie. They talked and laughed, but Lin Peran could not interrupt them. Most of the time, they just ate quietly, and only when Chen's father talked to her did Lin Peran speak honestly.
When Mother Chen saw that Lin Pilan didn't say anything and wanted someone to ask her a question, she felt that she was deliberately playing a trick on her father, and took the opportunity to tell him that she had just been ridiculed.
Her face also turned cold. After they finished eating and went back to their room, she told her father about Auntie Lin's intentions for coming today.
"Lil 'Ye's performance in various aspects in the past is pretty good. It's just that she has become conservative over the past few years, so she no longer has her previous outstanding performance in terms of quests. It's not up to me to decide who will take up the post, so don't give in without thinking. The higher-ups have their own arrangements, and those who are able to do it will not be buried. "
With these words from his father, his mother did not feel any pressure in her heart for rejecting Auntie Lin's offer.
After everyone had gone back to their rooms for a nap, Ringpelin did not go back upstairs, but instead stayed downstairs to busy himself.
She had to go home tomorrow, and this trip would take three days. Chen Manny did not know how to cook and do household chores, so Lin Pelan considered preparing some pasta to keep in the fridge. Then he saw Chen Manny stomping down the stairs with her slippers on.
Before Rinperan could react, Chen Manny opened the kitchen cabinet and grabbed a few chicken cakes that her mother had put in earlier and placed them in a bowl beside her.
"Don't think about snitching on me again."
Chen Mannie warned Rinperan, packed the chicken cakes, and ran back upstairs.
Ringpelin could not understand why everything Chen Manny did had to do with her.
He had brought the chicken cake to his room to eat again. He had warned Lin Pailan because he thought that the last time Chen's mother had taken away the bun, it was because Lin Pailan had complained.
Chen Manny was also not a child, she did not want to listen to this bad habit of hers, instead, she had a grudge against it. Lin Peran did not plan to say anything else and just pretended that he did not see anything.
He melted two pieces of red sugar that his parents had given him in return. These pieces of red sugar were already half a catty in weight. Lin Pei Lan gave him three pounds of flour and prepared to make some red sugar buns.
The sweet taste of the brown sugar was not boring to people. Making the red sugar dumplings with porridge for breakfast just happened to meet the requirements of Chen's father who liked to eat a little dry.
It was all habitual work, in the middle of the summer, and although it was hot in the kitchen, it was easy for Ringpelin to do it, and it was done by three o'clock.
The kitchen counter wouldn't fit, so she cleared the table and set the buns on it.
Old Mrs. Chen took an afternoon nap. When she saw the table full of steamed buns, her face turned black.
"It's such a hot day, why are you making so many buns?" If we can't finish it all, isn't that a waste? "
"Isn't there a refrigerator? How could it be bad? Xiaosu, don't be too nervous. I think it's good for Peran to make these buns, no worse than buying them outside. "
With him around, even if Mrs Chen wanted to throw a tantrum, she would unconsciously restrain herself a little.
"I'm just looking at the hot weather. It's not good to do too much."
Under the gaze of his father, his mother's attitude eased up a bit.
She knew that she had not yet separated Rimperan from Aunt Lin, and was still implicating herself in the matter of Aunt Lin's arrival.
"I'm going back to my parents' home for a few days, thinking that my mom doesn't have time to prepare breakfast even if she has to go to work. I can cook and put this on hold. It's more convenient as long as it's heated."
Limpilan's face remained unchanged. There was nothing he could not let go of his mother's difficulties as a way of thanking Chen Jianguo.
"You were the one who thought it through!" "Peran, your mom's been busy with work these days, and you're worrying too much about family matters."
"Dad, don't say that. Actually, there's nothing to do at home. Since I have nothing better to do, I just cook every day. Those are all jobs that I get used to doing at home, so I did it conveniently. "
Lin Pilan truly admired her father. His words were pleasant, not only praising her, but also explaining why her mother didn't prepare these things. That was because she was busy with her work, giving her mother enough face.
As a man in power, his wife's words could be seen through. It was no wonder that Mother Chen could be so unrestrained and unrestrained. It was something that was favored by others.
While Ringperan steamed the steamed buns, Chen's father and mother went out. To tell the truth, no one would keep an eye on you all the time. This made it a lot easier.
After the steamed buns were done cooking, the fragrance of the wheat and brown sugar spread out. Chen Manny could smell the fragrance of the red sugar buns. She pinched two of them and ran upstairs.
Why did she have to go upstairs to the bedroom to eat, she did not understand, a room full of food taste, not only insect, also sleep is not comfortable?!
Ringpelin has no solution.
It was impossible for her to persuade Chen Manny to do such a thankless task.
"I could smell the fragrance from far away. What kind of delicious food is sister-in-law cooking?"
There was a burst of hearty laughter, and when Ringpelin went out, he saw a woman in her thirties coming in with a small bag in her hand.
Seeing Rinperan, the smile on his face became even more radiant, "Are you the nation-building wife? "I live next door to you. You can call me Aunt Xiuhe."
"Hello, Aunt, are you looking for my mother? She went out with my father. You can come in and sit for a while. "
"It's rare to see Director Chen at home. The relationship between husband and wife is really good. There are dozens of families in this courtyard that are not envious. "
Xiuhe followed Lin into the living room, still talking about the praises she was making. She didn't know how to answer, so she just smiled and led the way into the living room and asked her to sit down.
"Yo!" This was Steamed Bun! "What a coincidence."
"I made a few for breakfast. Let me get one for my aunt to try."
Rinperan's hands were still covered in flour. The steamed buns he made were only half done, and there was still a pot of steamed buns on the liquidized stove.
Xiuhe's sister-in-law had just happened to come over. Although Lin Pilan was not familiar with her, but since she had come over, she couldn't just place a table full of buns for others to watch.
"No need, no need. You can just keep it. Jianguo had silently married his wife back. Who knew she was such a beauty! "They hid it really tight."
Lin Pilan awkwardly smiled. She didn't know how to respond to such praise, "Aunt, sit down. I'll make you some tea."
"Speaking of tea, I forgot about it the moment I saw you. When are they coming back? The tea she asked me to buy the day before yesterday from a relative in the countryside just happened to be brought in from the city today. "Here is half a catty, it should be enough for your family to eat autumn tea."
When she came in, Lin Pilan saw the bag in Xiuhe's hand and thought it was something. However, she didn't expect that it was the tea leaves that Chen Niang had bought and hurriedly welcomed her in.
