The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

Chapter 296 Even if you have to pretend, you have to pretend

Jiang Tingxia let out a cry, probably trying to imitate Aunt Feng, but failed and ended up making herself laugh. Li Changpu saw her acting funny, pinched her cheeks and laughed too.

Jiang Tingxia ignored it and continued to imitate what Aunt Feng said to Li Changpu.

"What! You don't even cook your own meals, and you still have to go to the canteen? The canteen must charge money and tickets! You can cook it yourself if you have the time."

"Oh, your man is hardworking after all. This woman is lucky. She married well and doesn't have to do anything by herself. Look at the things at home and outside. You don't have to worry about anything."

"Just sit and wait for your meal."

"Unlike me, I don't have such a good life. I was born to be a poor person who suffers hardships. I can't compare to you."

Actually, Aunt Feng didn't want to make enemies with Jiang Tingxia. She really wanted to have a good relationship with her neighbor, so when she saw him, she came up to talk to Jiang Tingxia. However, she believed that men were busy outside, and things like this at home were done by women.

But the couple next door are different. It's the opposite. The man is hardworking, while the woman is a hands-off person.

Aunt Feng couldn't be so stupid as to come to the house and make gossips, but she couldn't afford to offend him either, as her son had warned her repeatedly.

So her original intention was to say something nice to Jiang Tingxia, even at the cost of belittling herself, but she was not used to this and couldn't stand it from the bottom of her heart, so the compliments she said were insincere and crooked.

The words were not sincere, and they sounded sarcastic to Jiang Tingxia.

Jiang Tingxia complained to Li Changpu in dissatisfaction, "What do you think she meant by saying this?"

"Do you want to click on me?"

Seeing Jiang Tingxia pouting and looking unhappy, Li Changpu smiled and said, "Old people like to nag, don't bother with them about it."

He hugged Jiang Tingxia's waist back and lifted her up, "Let's ignore them."

"If you take everything others say to heart, you will end up getting angry and hurt yourself."

"We'll treat you as we please."

Jiang Tingxia was unwilling.

"That won't do. When I lived in Chazipo before, I was gossiped about by others every day because I didn't fit in. I had no image at all. This time I moved to a new place. It's a new beginning. I have to lay a good foundation from the beginning."

She looked very determined, "Even if I have to pretend, I have to pretend to be good."

"I don't want to be the topic of conversation again, to be brought up for entertainment after dinner."

Li Changpu wanted to persuade Jiang Tingxia not to care about these things, but then he changed his mind and his eyes became deep.

No matter what he said, if he did something wrong, he would be talked about and bullied. Jiang Tingxia would have to bear all of this by himself. What's the point of him saying these empty words?

He couldn't stop everyone from talking, nor could he help Jiang Tingxia socialize with women, let alone hide her in the house every day so that she could be with only him.

"Well, you work hard, and we'll prepare the feast ourselves like everyone else. I'll take tomorrow off and find some more people to help."

But as soon as this proposal was made, it was rejected by Jiang Tingxia.

Jiang Tingxia stretched out ten slender jade fingers, "That's definitely not possible. Even if someone helps, there are so many things to do and so many dishes to cook. Do I still need my hands?"

Li Changpu was in a dilemma. "It's not possible to hire someone, and it's not possible to do it myself. What do you think we should do?"

Jiang Tingxia glared at Li Changpu, but it was a pity that her eyes were too charming. When she looked at her lover, she lacked authority and was very coquettish, just like a spoiled child. "You ask me?"

She gave the same order as her leader, "You find a way to go."

Li Changpu choked and heard Jiang Tingxia giving him the task requirements.

"We have to take care of both sides. In short, we have to have both the inside and the outside."

When assigning a task, one still needs to adopt a combination of hard and soft approaches. Jiang Tingxia grabbed Li Changpu's strong arms and patted his chest muscles, looking trustful.

"I believe in you. You are so smart, you will definitely be able to come up with a good idea."

What can I do? Jiang Tingxia said that she believed him, so I have to figure it out.

Li Changpu let Jiang Tingxia act coquettishly in his arms. He grabbed her fingers and put them to his lips, kissing and biting them. He had no way to deal with this little fox.

"How about this? We will invite our master chef, and you can just cook one or two of your signature dishes and serve them to the table. It will at least be a token of your appreciation."

Li Changpu hugged Jiang Tingxia and laughed, "You are good at both being a lady in the living room and cooking in the kitchen. You couldn't be more virtuous. What else can others say?"

Jiang Tingxia was very satisfied with the solution proposed by Li Changpu this time.

"Okay, that's what we'll do then."

……

The advantage of booking a table is that not only do you not have to prepare a large table of dishes yourself, you don't even have to do tedious tasks like preparing the dishes yourself. Jiang Tingxia and Li Changpu only need to prepare the menu in advance, and the invited chef will prepare all the ingredients according to the list.

The chef mixed a cold dish of shredded carrots, black fungus and preserved egg, and fried a pot of peanuts, which he placed aside. When the guests arrived, the table would not be empty and the dishes could be served immediately.

The meat dishes were one fish, one meat, one chicken or one duck. The final menu was braised fish, pork stewed with sauerkraut and vermicelli, and chestnut roast chicken prepared by Jiang Tingxia herself.

The main dishes are greasy, so you can pair them with some vegetarian dishes and snacks, such as candied sweet potatoes and fried crispy fish to please the children. There are ten people at a table, and eight cold and hot dishes are needed. The portions are large, so you can definitely eat your fill.

The three children, Jin Xiaowen, Jin Xiaobao and Jin Xiaoyu, helped to place the stools and serve tea. Early in the morning, a family walked in through the wide-open courtyard gate.

Li Changpu looked out the window and said, "Someone is coming."

Then he took Jiang Tingxia out to entertain the guests.

He spoke in a loud voice and took a few quick steps forward, "Welcome, Director Kong."

The man opposite also came forward and the two men shook hands warmly.

Jiang Tingxia then caught up.

Li Changpu introduced: "This is my lover, Xiao Jiang."

The woman opposite had a sturdy figure and a face like a full moon. When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved, and she looked very warm. "I have seen you."

Her chubby face showed the enthusiasm and simplicity of a rural woman as she looked at Jiang Tingxia.

"We met on the day you moved. We exchanged a few words at that time. Do you remember me?"

Jiang Tingxia replied, "Of course I remember, Mrs. Kong, please come in."

Mrs. Kong looked at Jiang Tingxia with eyes full of love and envy, "Sister, you are beautiful and your words are nice."

She pulled the two children on her left and right, "Come on, son, say hello to your uncle and aunt."

When socializing with parents with children, the key is to praise the children.

Jiang Tingxia bent down slightly to look at the two children. Mrs. Kong's two children were both boys. They were wearing thin jackets that were half-new and half-worn. Their faces were a little red from the cold, and the youngest one was still sniffing.

Jiang Tingxia's smile froze on her face. She really didn't like children very much.

She stood up and smiled, feeling a little reluctant, but still said to Mrs. Kong with a smile on her face, "These two little guys are so cute with their chubby heads."
