She felt flattered that her parents had gone out to buy her a gift for returning home.
These gifts were not about whether they were precious or not. It was just that her heart was a little too heavy, so she did not dare to accept them.
"What are you saying? If you're not at home, it would be impolite of us to let you go back." Such a small gift is nothing, just bring it back with you. "
Seeing that Ringpelin was uncomfortable, Chen knew that she didn't dare to accept it.
"There is no helping it if we are busy with nation-building. The banquet in our village is simple, but with the help of our uncles and villagers, Mother has enough people. "
If it wasn't because of the fight with the Lee family, even if this banquet wasn't held, Lin Peran wouldn't have felt anything. Since father Chen had mentioned it, Lin Peran would have explained it to him, but the specific reason wouldn't be convenient to explain.
"Hm!" The family has been affected. " Father Chen nodded and suddenly said, "Aren't you done with the steamed buns?" Bring it to me and your mother. "
"Ai." I'll get it. "
Chen's father smiled and shook his head. Ringpelin looked steady and sensible, but her age was right there, and her emotions were still written all over her face. Just a small matter from a moment ago had made her very grateful, which meant that she was not greedy.
"This child is young, take her more." Father said to Mother Chen.
"You don't need to say that!"
Mrs. Chen glared at her father, who smiled and lowered his head to drink his tea.
"Didn't you buy the tea leaves? Show it to me. "
Even if her father didn't say anything, her mother would still go to see him. After coming to her house, Lin Pelan was too reserved. She was happy to have something better than him.
Ye Zichen walked over and took the bag. The package looked pretty good, but it was still a surprise when he opened it.
Chen's mother was not convinced when she thought about how much her father praised her cooking skills. This time, she had bought some homemade fried tea from the countryside, so she wanted to compare their cooking skills to hers.
However, when she opened the package, the pile of coarse leaves still shocked her a bit.
No wonder that half kilogram bag of tea was so big. She had thought that Xiuhe had given her enough of it!
He didn't think that he would overthink things. This reality was too face-smacking.
"This... Is this the tea Xiuhe sent over? "
Mother Chen asked as she was still filling the steamed buns in the kitchen.
"It can't be wrong."
Chen's father came over to take a look. Huang Bulai's items were similar to the withered leaves in the garden. They were also worthy of being called tea leaves. They were truly unflattering.
However, his wife had ordered him to buy it, so he still left her some face and did not say it was too unpleasant. "There's only one package on the table, it must have been sent by that Xiuhe. It was brought from the countryside, so it's probably just for the cooking skills of the tea."
The words of Chen's father caused the expression on his mother's face to change. The quality of the tea leaves also exceeded her expectations.
He had wanted to buy some good tea for himself, so as not to interfere too much in his family affairs. He hadn't expected this outcome.
"This Soo He is becoming more and more outrageous." Old Mrs. Chen angrily said to her father, "How is this a tea, it's clearly a leaf!"
"Alright, alright. Since they have already sent it, we will accept it. Don't talk about it anymore. "
Father Chen glanced at the tea leaves and continued to drink his tea calmly. He understood why his wife was so angry.
"What acknowledgement!" If I see this kind of tea, can I still give her the money?! "
As he said this, his eyes were still on Rinperan in the kitchen. He would never admit that he bought it because of him.
"How big a thing it is! "Keep it!"
"Humph!" "Who dares to show off their cooking skills every day? How come they can't even buy tea leaves?"
Chen Yuan's mother whispered as she quickly packed the tea leaves, hoping that she hadn't opened it just now.
"This has nothing to do with Peran." Chen's father interrupted his mother's insistence. "People come here to say that you asked them to buy it, so it's not good for Peran to refuse it."
If he didn't give face to others, he would definitely give face to his mother-in-law. Lin Peilan was very sensible, and his father could see that.
"Humph!" You will speak up for her! "
Mother Chen gave her father a rare glance. Before he came out, she quickly put away the tea leaves and secretly hid them in her room. It was her and Father Chen's bedroom that she dared not enter.
Father Chen looked at his wife's childish behavior. This was to cover up his embarrassment and didn't want to lose face in front of his wife.
However, the tea leaves were paid by his daughter-in-law, without clearly seeing what was inside, how could he give the money?
For the sake of his wife and child's pride, his father didn't remind him. He shook his head and took a sip of tea. The fragrance of the tea assaulted him and he went to read the newspaper.
When Lin Pei Lan came out, she saw her mother holding the tea package and quickly returning to her room with hurried steps.
"Dad, Steamed Bun is here. Here, try it."
Lin Pilan only glanced at it for a moment before withdrawing her gaze. She didn't pay it any mind and lowered her body to place the plate in front of her father. Four fat and fair red sugar buns were placed in front of her.
"Hm!" "The taste is pretty good."
The steamed bun was not big. If it wasn't for his daughter-in-law, he would have taken each of them in one bite. At this moment, he naturally wanted to maintain his image and take a few more bites.
"As long as you're used to eating sweetly."
When Father Chen saw that his wife was still not at the door, he said softly, "That tea that your mother bought, just pretend you don't know how it is!"
When she thought of the coarse tea leaves, she suddenly realized that she was afraid that her mother would embarrass her, so she came to tell her father about it. She understood that it was due to her father's love and admiration for his wife.
"Dad, don't worry! I didn't know anything. I just paid for the tea. " "I've already told that aunt that we don't want this kind of tea from now on, and we won't give it to her next time."
"That's right. Go ahead! "
Father Chen nodded his head in satisfaction. Looking at his daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but feel that his wife was younger than her.
"Dad, you and mom taste it first, I'll go cook."
Hearing the sound of Mrs. Chan's footsteps behind her, Lin Pilan said that and turned around to continue cooking in the kitchen.
"Comrade Little Su, quickly come and try this Sweet 'n' Sour Steamed Bun. I'm sure you'll like this sweetness."
Mrs Chen came out and looked at that busy figure, then looked at her husband who had called her to eat buns, then slowly walked over and sat down on the sofa.
"What did she just say?"
Mother Chen looked at her father inquiringly, fearing that Lin Peran would see her hiding the tea leaves. Father Chen told her about the broken tea leaves as well.
"What?" Father Chen paused for a moment before feigning enlightenment, "My daughter-in-law asked me what else I could eat after eating the steamed bun, so I asked her to cook some for me. The weather is hot, and the kitchen is very stuffy.
"That's it?" Old Mrs. Chen asked doubtfully, "Did you mention anything about the tea leaves?"
