"Mom, you're back!" I finally fiddled with my shirt collar and opened the door.

"Why are you so slow? Haven't you told you to wait for us at the door?" My mother asked strangely as she looked at me panting.

"This...there are guests in this family." I said awkwardly.

At this time, Zhao Yanyan was also dressed neatly and walked out of my bedroom. When she saw my mother, she whispered: "Hello Auntie!"

"Oh! Guests are coming from home. Leilei, why didn't you say it earlier? Didn't you eat at noon? Old Liu, go and wash the fish and cook the food quickly!" My mother began to give orders, and my father rushed into the kitchen before he had time to change his clothes.

"Auntie, stop busying, I'm fine." Zhao Yanyan saw that my mother was busy cooking as soon as she came back, so she quickly stopped her in embarrassment.

"It's okay, we still have to have a meal if you don't come. Let Leilei's father go to work hard and let's talk for a while." My mother said intimately.

I'm so dizzy. What's wrong with my mother? I've seen the beauty more enthusiastic than me. Last time it was Xia Jing and this time it was Zhao Yanyan.

"Daughter, sit down, don't stand! Leilei, pour some water for your classmates as soon as possible. Is there no drink on the balcony? Bring some some!" My mother shouted at me.

"Auntie, there's really no need to worry. I won't drink water." Zhao Yanyan waved her hand quickly.

"It's okay, let Liu Lei go to work hard." My mother didn't know, and Zhao Yanyan felt even more distressed if she tossed me like this.

Sure enough, Zhao Yanyan looked at me with a sorry look, and I gave her an indifferent smile. When I brought the drink, I heard my mother chatting with Zhao Yanyan: "Daughter, what's the name?"

"Auntie, my name is Zhao Yanyan." Zhao Yanyan also let go a lot, without the previous restraint.

"Zhao Yanyan, this name is good. Are you from the same class as Leilei?" My mother asked with a smile.

"Yes, we are the same deskmate." Zhao Yanyan replied.

"Oh, it turns out to be a deskmate! Hello, deskmate, you should help each other in your studies!" My mother took the drink from me and gave it to Zhao Yanyan.

"Auntie, Liu Lei doesn't need help from others when he learns!" Zhao Yanyan started to gild my face again.

"Then let Leilei help you." My mother was very happy when she heard Zhao Yanyan praise me.

"Mom, just say less. Zhao Yanyan is the second year in school, so I don't need my help." I also opened a bottle of drinks myself. To be honest, I was really a little thirsty. XXoo this morning was physical labor.

"Ah, then this is even better! You guys are first and second, and you will be together more in the future!" My mother got into trouble with Zhao Yanyan in a while.

"Well, Leilei, you go to the kitchen to help your dad work, don't stick here." Seeing that I was next to me, my mother asked me to make trouble again.

I gave Zhao Yanyan a wink and told her not to talk nonsense. Zhao Yanyan immediately replied to me with a reassurance expression.

"Dad, don't have to make so many dishes, just deal with it." I said to my dad who was packing the fish.

"Can that work? People at home have to be like that!" My dad put down the fish he packed up and started to wash the pot.

"By the way, Liu Lei. You told your dad, what was going on with that little girl?" My dad finally got out of time and began to interrogate me.

"What's going on? She's my deskmate!" I started to pretend to be stupid again.

"Datemate? Can you let her come to our house? You kid honestly explain to me whether you like others?" Unexpectedly, my dad went straight to the point without hesitation, and didn't know how to answer the answer.

"I-I-" I really don't know what to say.

"Leilee, there are no outsiders in the kitchen. Just the father and I will tell you, Dad, if you like someone, tell her as soon as possible, don't let it go. I think that girl is pretty, and there will definitely be fewer people who like her, right? I'm right? Anyway, it's not a big deal for you kids of your age to fall in love. I remember when my mother and I first met, I was about the same age as you. I'll tell you one thing, that is, to start first. If I hadn't expressed my attitude to your mother first, you might not have you now!" My father said to me with a whisper.

I was stunned when I heard it there. Is this still my dad? Why is it different from the serious and upright father in normal times?

"Cough--Cough--! Don't stand there, hurry up and help me wash vegetables. What I told you just now, don't tell you mom, this is the secret of our ancestors of the Liu family!" My father coughed twice and said to me.

The secret book of ancestors? Why haven’t I heard of it before? If you taught me this way in my previous life, maybe I would have already dealt with Zhao Yanyan by then.

"Okay, son! This girl is pretty, she has nothing to say about her appearance. Don't let my dad down!" My dad patted my shoulder and slapped me with all the fish scales.

"I--" I was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. Did I tell him that I had already dealt with Zhao Yanyan?

I skillfully helped my dad. In fact, I can cook these dishes, and I did a lot of them in my previous life, but I couldn't perform too much. Even so, my dad praised me in confusion and said that the dishes were much more neat than before.

After a while of work, three dishes, one soup and one fish were quickly placed on the dining table.

"Come here to have a meal!" My dad put the dishes and chopsticks down and shouted to my mother and Zhao Yanyan who were chatting happily in the living room.

My mother led Zhao Yanyan to the dining table with a smile, and Zhao Yanyan also had a smile on her face. What have the two of them communicated at this moment? Looking at their intimate expressions, would my mother have recognized some other goddaughter?

"Yan Yan, you're hungry, you eat first, don't worry about others! Just treat this place like your own home." My mother handed Zhao Yanyan a pair of chopsticks and said.

Well? It seems that this sentence is very familiar. I remember that last time I went to Zhao Yanyan’s house to be a guest, and Zhao Yanyan’s mother said this to me.

Thinking of this, I looked up and saw that Zhao Yanyan was also looking at me. It was probably because she thought of this too. We looked at each other and smiled.

I was extremely depressed when I ate a meal. My mother kept picking up food for Zhao Yanyan. Every time I waited for the time when I wanted to put down the chopsticks, my mother would take the lead and I even wondered if I was her biological child. My father rarely talked during the meal, and most of the time my mother talked about it. It was often my mother who talked about a topic that Zhao Yanyan either laughed or chatted about it all the time after hearing it, while my father and I looked puzzled. Is this the so-called topic of women?

Moreover, what made me extremely unhappy was that my mother complained more than once, and she regretted having a boy. It was so good to have a daughter. She didn’t talk about it, but she could go shopping together. After hearing this, Zhao Yanyan immediately said that she would often come back to my house if she had time in the future and chat with my mother, which made my mother so happy that she couldn’t stop.
