Chapter 232 Wow, this is so delicious!
Sure enough, in no time at all, all the bowls on the table were empty.
If anyone is even slightly slow, they won't even get a bite of food!
"Haha, look at you young people, that's more like it!"
Seeing that the plate was empty, Zhong Weibin quickly brought over all the dishes from his own table without saying a word.
"Oh my, Grandpa, your cooking is absolutely amazing! We were so embarrassed by how we ate just now, we made a complete fool of ourselves."
Chen Runping wiped his mouth and said embarrassedly.
"Haha, kids, the fact that you can eat so heartily is the greatest affirmation and praise for an old man like me who cooks! If you feel it's not enough, wait a moment, and Grandpa will go into the kitchen again to show off my skills. Today, I only have one goal—to make sure you eat happily and are full!"
Zhong Weibin responded with a broad smile and a cheerful laugh.
"Then we'll really be impolite today, Grandpa. Do you take on apprentices? I really want to learn your superb culinary skills from you."
Chen Runping looked at Zhong Weibin with anticipation.
"Oh? You're a college student, what made you want to learn to cook?"
Zhong Weibin asked with some curiosity.
Just then, Li Bin suddenly interjected:
"Hehe, Grandpa, he's thinking that once he learns to cook, he can cook for Zhao Zhaodi!"
Upon hearing this, the once lively main room instantly fell silent. Everyone was stunned, and all eyes turned to Chen Runping and Li Bin...
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Runping instantly blushed, the redness spreading from his cheeks all the way to the base of his neck. He raised his hand in embarrassment and anger, waving it at Li Bin while rolling his eyes at him.
Li Bin nimbly dodged the attack, hurriedly saying:
"Oh dear, it's my fault. I said the wrong thing without thinking. I deserve to be punished!"
After saying that, he quickly picked up the teacup in front of him, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, as a way of punishing himself for his mistake.
At this moment, Zhong Weibin, Zhao Yuan, and the others sitting to the side exchanged knowing glances, then stood up, pretending not to have heard what had just happened, and silently left the main room, leaving only a group of children inside to continue playing.
For a moment, the once noisy main room quieted down, but soon the children's laughter filled the room again, making it lively and bustling once more.
As everyone chatted and ate heartily, the dishes on the table were almost empty before they knew it.
At this moment, Li Bin was the first to put down his chopsticks and bowl, slowly stood up, gently patted his round belly, and sighed contentedly:
Wow, this meal was so satisfying! I'm so full I can barely move!
As he spoke, he exaggeratedly let out a burp.
Sitting to the side, Yan Meili looked at Li Bin's expression and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, saying with a laugh:
"Zhao Zhaodi, you have to take responsibility! Look how tempted I am by your food! I'm stuffed again! I'm sure I'll gain at least two ounces of weight from this meal! I was supposed to look my best for my audition at the Beijing Performing Arts University, and now you've ruined it all, Zhao Zhaodi! You've really ruined my life!"
After saying that, she shook Zhao Zhaodi's arm with a grin and started to act coquettishly.
Upon hearing Yan Meili's words, Cheng Hui, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but burst into laughter and teased her:
"Haha, Yan Meili, you haven't just gained a couple of ounces of weight, you've practically ballooned up like a balloon! And Wang Bin, I suggest you just ask Zhao Zhaodi for permission to eat here for a month, it'll definitely help you get rid of that bean sprout-like figure!"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again.
"Oh dear, my stomach is about to burst! I was so focused on eating like a hungry wolf that I'm only now realizing how full I am. I need to get moving. Come on, everyone, let's help clear the table and wash the dishes."
Chen Runping rubbed his round belly as he exclaimed.
At this moment, Li Bin, who was standing to the side, lowered his voice and whispered in Chen Runping's ear:
"Oh ho, so eager to make a good impression on your father-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Runping blushed, quickly reached out and gently tapped Li Bin's arm, scolding him in a low voice:
"Stop talking nonsense here, or your uncles and aunts will hear you, that would be bad."
Li Bin chuckled, stopped teasing Chen Runping, and instead raised his voice to shout:
"Alright, let's get this over with and start clearing the dishes! Ladies, are you going to clean up or wash the dishes?"
Yan Meili answered without hesitation:
"We'll handle the cleaning!"
However, Lin Fangfang and Xu Shuhui quickly walked into the kitchen, waving their hands repeatedly and saying:
"No need, no need, you can just put the bowls and chopsticks there, we'll do these chores."
After saying that, the two of them quickly began to clean up the leftover food on the table.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Fangfang shouted loudly towards the room:
"Laidi, Nana, Yina, come and help clear the dishes!"
Hearing the calls, several girls ran out of the room.
One of the girls spoke up:
"Grandma, Auntie, you two have worked so hard, you haven't stopped all afternoon. Now, leave this little thing to us, you can rest assured. Don't underestimate us, washing dishes and cleaning are a piece of cake for us!"
Cheng Hui quickly cleared the table of dishes, muttering to himself:
"Everyone, take a break. I can finish this work quickly."
Xu Shuhui and Lin Fangfang exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly. They thought that since these sensible children were helping them, they might as well entrust the rest of the matter to them and stand aside and watch with peace of mind.
The children quickly sprang into action, each performing their assigned tasks in an orderly manner.
Most of the children clearly do chores at home regularly, and their movements are skillful and efficient.
However, Yan Meili seemed a bit clumsy. She carefully wiped the table with a rag, but still accidentally knocked over a cup.
However, this did not affect the overall progress, as other children came over to help.
In no time, all the bowls and chopsticks were cleaned.
