Chapter 311: Chapter 289: This is Deadly

Translator: 549690339

“Chen, Xiao, Qian!!!”

Jia Xiufang’s roar echoed in the room, refusing to disperse for a long time.

Yu Minglang saw his girlfriend, oh, no, now his fiancee, was going to be scolded, so he pulled her behind him and kept apologizing to Jia Xiufang.

“I’m sorry, Aunt, I didn’t watch her closely, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t let her cook…”

How could he know that Xiao Mei’s entry into the kitchen would be so devastating!

It was just the time he went to the bathroom, somehow she got oil in the coal cooker, and the flames kept burning. She just stood beside it, watching stupidly for a few seconds, then tried to cover the stove with a pot. Somehow, she even got oil on the bottom of the pot.

The whole thing caught fire.

That guy, it was burning fiercely!

Fortunately, Yu Minglang was there. If Xiao Mei was alone at home, the consequences would be unthinkable. Yu Minglang decided never to let her enter the kitchen again.

For her safety and the entire family’s safety, she should remain a doctor and just talk. Leave the physical work to him!

Jia Xiufang saw the kitchen in such a mess, she was both angry and anxious. This silly girl, why didn’t she know how to hide her flaws? Exposing them to Minglang like this was like exposing her weaknesses, right?

Fortunately, Yu Minglang did not care about these things.

He even turned around and tried to persuade Jia Xiufang. Jia Xiufang really wanted to slap Xiao Qian several times, but Yu Minglang was protecting her.

The naive little girl hid behind Yu Minglang and made faces at her.

“You can’t even cook, how will you go to your mother-in-law’s house? She will dislike you and return you!” Jia Xiufang scolded Xiao Qian on purpose, actually sneakily observing Yu Minglang’s reactions.

Sensible Yu Minglang immediately responded.

“Aunt, don’t worry. When Xiao Qian comes to our house, we won’t let her cook. My mom is a great cook, and we live close by. When I’m home, I’ll cook, and if I’m not home, I’ll let Xiao Qian go to my mom’s house. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll sell my funds and let Qian Bao invest in a restaurant, so we have a fixed place to eat.”

He had a deep understanding of her cooking skills.

It was terrifying.

Others cooking might just be unpalatable, but his Qian Bao’s cooking was life­threatening.

Jia Xiufang was satisfied with what she heard, but she still had to show politeness on her face.

“How can I feel alright with that? This girl is good at everything but cooking, she is just too focused on her studies. I will teach her slowly in the future.

“You’ve been teaching her for so many years, and she still hasn’t learned. Brother Lang, let me tell you the truth. Just a couple of years ago, when there was no one at home, I was starving. My sister said she would make fried yuanxiao (sweet rice balls) for me…”

“Could she make something so complicated?” Yu Minglang couldn’t imagine the great danger Xiao Mei went through to do this.

Stewing the potatoes even caused a fire scene, frying yuanxiao was such a challenging task, could she do it?

“Chen Zilong, you shut up! It’s none of your business! Did you finish your homework?”

Xiao Qian was unwilling to recall that period.

“As soon as I mentioned it, she got mad at me…”

“It’s okay, today is a good day. No matter what you say, she won’t be angry, right, Xiao Mei?”

Today she had agreed to his engagement proposal. Yu Xiaoqiang believed that his Xiao Mei would maintain a good mood on this happy day, just like his happy feeling now.

“Then let me talk, Brother Lang, you have to protect me, don’t let her hit me.” Chen Zilong really wanted to pour out his heart.

Jia Xiufang didn’t know about this incident either, and she was quite curious. “Right, now that you mention it, I remember that one day, our house was missing half a bucket of oil and a bag of yuanxiao. What happened?”

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Zilong finally suppressed his fear of the violent big sister, hid behind his mother, and recounted the terrible past. “Didn’t I want to eat yuanxiao? My sister said she would cook for me. She also said that fried yuanxiao was easier than cooking and just heat the oil, throw them in, cook and then fish them out.”

The imagined situation was indeed like that.

The progress went smoothly in the beginning, but Xiao Qian stood by the side holding chopsticks, flipping over the yuanxiao, when she suddenly found out that the yuanxiao would get bigger and bigger!

Why do top students become top students?

That’s because they always have curiosity towards life. When they see something interesting, they have to study why!

“Don’t tell me, you poked them with chopsticks?” Yu Minglang seemed to understand something, looking at Xiao Qian in surprise.

Xiao Qian lowered her head and explained in a low voice. “That happened in my past life, too long ago, I was still young. Although I understood the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, I didn’t have any practical experience. I didn’t know there was air inside the yuanxiao, so it’s not my fault.

To Chen Zilong, that happened just two years ago.

But to Xiao Qian, it was a past life.

“Brother Lang, how did you know she used chopsticks to poke it?” Chen Zilong looked up to Yu Minglang admiringly. His future brother-in-law was indeed amazing, knowing things without being asked!

“I also know that after she poked it, the yuanxiao exploded, right?”

“Wow, you even know this!” Chen Zilong admired the omnipotent Yu Minglang even more.

“Yeah, I have a sister at home who is also like this, she’s a dumbo too – not good at cooking, and part of a twin.”

“Ah! Is your sister like mine too, poking yuanxiao onto the ceiling?

“Ceiling?!” Yu Minglang guessed the beginning but not the end.

Chen Zilong had a fresh memory of that incident and kept nodding his head.

“My sister was having fun poking it, so she poked it a few more times, and I don’t know what she did, but suddenly something flew out of the pot like a flash of lightning. It hit the ceiling in a flash, and I was dumbfounded. I never knew that yuanxiao could fly!”

“Xiao Mei, you didn’t get a whole face full of pustules from the scalding? I’m thankful to that year’s yuanxiao for being merciful to you.” Yu Minglang even felt sorry for Xiao Qian, how lucky she was not to have her face scalded by the splattering hot oil.

“Aiyo, this silly girl…” Jia Xiufang couldn’t help but sigh out loud. She thought she saw something on the kitchen ceiling, and she asked Xiao Qian what it was. Xiao Qian quoted various physical and chemical theories, talked a lot to Jia Xiufang and confused her. In the end, she still didn’t figure out what it was.

So it was yuanxiao! It could even stick up there, and it was an eye-opener.

“My sister saw that she had caused a mess, so she stepped on the stove and tried to scrape the yuanxiao off the ceiling. Then it fell on my head, and my hair was glued together and couldn’t be washed off. In the end, she used scissors to cut it off and told me it would make me look cooler. I was laughed at by my classmates for a whole semester because I had a patch of hair missing at the back of my head…”

Rarely hearing about his all-capable Xiao Mei’s dark history, Yu Minglang laughed heartily.

Xiao Qian pretended it wasn’t her. Yes, it wasn’t her. It happened so long ago that it didn’t count.

She automatically ignored the kitchen that she had just messed up.

“Really, you can’t even cook properly. How can I feel at ease letting you get married? With your cooking, you have to stay at home for a few more years until I teach you well enough…”

Jia Xiufang’s words were never finished as Yu Minglang showed a brilliant smile.
