After sending Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu to Buckingham Palace and handing them over to Chen Zekai to entertain on their behalf, Ye Chen drove back to his family's Tomson Yipin Villa.
It was only two o'clock in the afternoon at this time, and Ye Chen originally thought that his wife Xiao Churan might not finish work until three or four o'clock, so he thought about going home first, and then picking her up when she was almost busy.
Unexpectedly, when Ye Chen arrived home, his wife Xiao Churan, father-in-law Xiao Changkun, and mother-in-law Ma Lan had already started busying in the kitchen.
Seeing that Xiao Churan was at home, Ye Chen asked in surprise: "Honey, when did you go home? Why didn't you tell me so that I can pick you up."
Xiao Churan said with a smile: "I speeded up the progress, and I will be home at two o'clock. I'm going to prepare a birthday dinner for you today, so I came back early."
At this time, Ma Lan was holding a huge king crab in both hands, and while putting it into the steamer, she said to Ye Chen with a smile: "Good son-in-law, mom will cook you a big meal tonight, look at this big crab." , more than three thousand for one!"
Seeing that she was about to steam the crabs, Xiao Churan who was on the side hurriedly said: "Oh, mom, the crabs can't be steamed now, it's not yet three o'clock, and it's still early for dinner! You're steamed now, and it's time for dinner It won't taste good when it's time!"
Ma Lan asked in surprise: "Then why did you come back so early and ask us to cook?"
Xiao Churan said helplessly: "First do the preparations. The king crab is cleaned and put in a bucket for preparation. The same is true for other ingredients. They are all cleaned up, and the ingredients for cooking are also prepared, and then wait Do it when it¡¯s almost meal time, so as to ensure the taste.¡±
Ma Lan said resentfully: "Hey, I thought I would start cooking right now. Aren't these crabs just steamed in the wok? They still need to be washed?"
"Of course I have to wash it." Xiao Churan said: "At least use a brush to brush the dirty things on the surface, and then rinse it with clean water several times."
Ma Lan curled her lips: "I don't dare to brush this thing, there are thorns all over my body, if I get stabbed againlet your dad clean up these seafood."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Xiao Changkun and ordered: "Xiao Changkun, take this crab out of the steamer and wash it, remember to wash it clean!"
Xiao Changkun couldn't help complaining: "I have other things, you can do it yourself."
Ma Lan said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and clean up the crabs! Otherwise, you won't even want to eat a bite at night!"
Xiao Changkun asked dissatisfied: "You asked me to clean up the crabs, so what are you doing?"
Ma Lan said casually, "I'll peel some garlic."
After finishing speaking, she grabbed a few bulbs of garlic, sat in the corner with a small bench, and peeled the garlic in front of the trash can.
Xiao Changkun was a little resentful, but he didn't dare to quarrel with Ma Lan, so he carefully fished out the crabs and took them to the sink for cleaning.
Seeing this, Ye Chen said, "Dad, let me clean up the crabs."
Xiao Churan hurriedly said to Marven Ye: "Husband, you are a birthday star, don't go out of the kitchen today, go to the living room outside to watch TV, the cake delivery person will come after a while, pay attention to the doorbell."
Ye Chen saw that her attitude was clear, so he didn't continue to insist, and said: "Then remember to call me if you have anything to do."
"good."
Ye Chen came out of the kitchen and just sat in the living room for a while when the doorbell rang.
He saw from the monitor that it was a courier who rang the doorbell, so he walked out of the room.
Outside the yard, a middle-aged delivery man asked, "Excuse me, is this Ms. Xiao's house?"
Ye Chen nodded: "Yes."
The pair conveniently handed him a cube box with a side length of about 50 centimeters, and said, "This is a cake ordered by Ms. Xiao, please sign for it."
When Ye Chen took the cake and was about to sign the form, the other party reminded: "You should open it and have a look. If there is any problem, I will take it back to the cake shop directly. Don't go back and sign for it and then complain if there is a problem. Riders also take responsibility."
Ye Chen didn't think too much, so he untied the red ribbon on the cake packaging box, and after carefully opening the top cover, an exquisite double-layer cake came into view.
This cake does not look as luxurious and exquisite as the five-layer cake that Gu Qiuyi ordered, nor does it have lifelike shock-absorbing fondant dolls. Some of them just look like regular cakes. However, the line of words written in chocolate sauce on the cake makes people A warm current surged in Ye Chen's heart.
The content of that line is: "Happy birthday to my dear Mr. Ye."
The signature is: "Love your wife, Chu Ran."
seeWith these words, Ye Chen smiled knowingly, and said to the rider: "The cake is no problem, I will sign for it directly."
After finishing speaking, he signed the form and handed it back to the rider.
After the rider took the order and left, Ye Chen repacked the cake and carried it back to the house.
This scene happened to be seen by Mrs. Xiao who was drying clothes on the terrace of the opposite villa.
Seeing Ye Chen take a cake and walk back to the villa, she couldn't help returning to the room curiously, and asked Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong who were lying on the bed: "Changgan, Hailong, do you know what day it is today?"
Xiao Changgan smiled wryly: "Mom, from before the Chinese New Year to now, I eat, drink, and sleep all in bed. I don't know what day it is in the solar calendar, what date in the lunar calendar, or what day of the week is it."
Xiao Hailong echoed: "Grandma, I don't remember the date either."
The old lady Xiao muttered: "Today is the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, and the dragon looks up, but I can't remember whose birthday it is today. Xiao Changkun's unfilial son seems to have been born in winter, and Xiao Churan's dead girl seems to be born in summer"
Xiao Hailong thought of something, and said: "February Erlong raised his head Today seems to be Ye Chen's bastard's birthday!"
Old lady Xiao frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Sure!" Xiao Hailong nodded again and again: "One time, just after the first month, I ran to the barber shop to cut my hair, and I happened to see Ye Chen and Xiao Churan eating in a small restaurant next to the barber shop. Little cake, I observed it, it was Ye Chen who blew out the candles, so it must be Xiao Churan celebrating Ye Chen's birthday, Grandma, you don't know, the cake was shabby at that time, and it was not as big as a fucking plate."
When the old lady Xiao heard this, she seemed to be in a good mood immediately, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that today is Ye Chen's birthday! I didn't expect him to die so soon!"
Xiao Hailong asked puzzledly: "Grandma, what's wrong? Why do you say that?"
The old lady Xiao curled her lips and said: "How many people came to Ye Chen's house before the Chinese New Year and lined up to give him gifts. You see, it's just the first month, and no one came to congratulate him on his birthday. This proves that he is not good now. Those rich and powerful people don't take him seriously!"
Xiao Hailong asked subconsciously: "Grandma, just from this point, you can tell that Ye Chen is not good enough?"
The old lady Xiao said seriously: "Hai Long, there is an idiom called one leaf knows autumn, as long as you see a leaf falling, it means that autumn is coming, autumn is coming, can winter be far behind?"
As she said that, she analyzed again with an inscrutable expression: "Think about it, if Ye Chen is really good now, then his door must be surrounded by those rich people now. , it describes that when a person is popular, the doorstep of his house is busier than the vegetable market!"
"But you see, today is Ye Chen's birthday. For those who want to curry favor with him, such a big event is much more important than the Chinese New Year. Up to now, they have not seen a single person coming to their house. There is an idiom, called "Men Ke Luo Que!"
"Just from this signal alone, I can clearly judge that Ye Chen must be messed up now, and even if he can't do it well, he is almost finished! (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
