Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!
Chapter 1215: Anyway, It’s Not His Problem
Chapter 1215: Chapter 1215: Anyway, It’s Not His Problem
"You can guide me whenever I don’t understand something," Zhao Dingli said.
Reluctantly, Zhao Guoxian followed once again.
Among those present, it seemed he was indeed the only suitable choice.
Ye Fei may be a niece-in-law, but there’s a difference between genders; it’s not appropriate for her to be alone in the kitchen with Zhao Dingli.
Zhao Gushen is even more clueless about cooking.
At this moment, Zhao Guoxian was particularly envious of Zhao Gushen’s lack of culinary knowledge.
As Zhao Gushen is almost supernaturally intelligent, Zhao Guoxian suspected Zhao Gushen might be doing it deliberately.
With Zhao Guoxian giving one-on-one guidance, Zhao Dingli’s dinner turned out quite well.
Though they were just simple home-cooked dishes, they were quite model-like.
Though not comparable to a chef’s cooking, they were on par with ordinary home-cooked meals.
This led to an unprecedented boost in Zhao Dingli’s confidence.
After all, he doesn’t have to practice knife skills or anything like that.
Even if it’s a bit slower, as long as he can make tasty food, that’s all that matters.
Zhao Dingli said to Li Xiaoyun, "With my speed, after work, if I cook when I get home, it’ll probably be a midnight snack for us."
Zhao Gushen said to Ye Fei, "It’s rare for Fourth Uncle to have such self-awareness."
Since it was said quietly, Zhao Dingli instinctively felt Zhao Gushen was talking about something related to him but couldn’t hear clearly, so he let it go.
"But on weekends and holidays, if we’re home with nothing to do, I’ll handle everything," Zhao Dingli said.
Li Xiaoyun understood that Zhao Dingli wasn’t just saying it casually, so she agreed, "Alright."
Zhao Gushen tasted the boiled beef slices made by Zhao Dingli.
Actually, there wasn’t much technical skill required in Zhao Dingli making this dish.
He just used hot pot base to cook beef slices and added some vegetables.
Finally, he fried Sichuan peppercorns and chili, pouring them on top.
The hot pot base naturally had a rich, spicy aroma, even a novice could make it well.
However, under Zhao Guoxian’s guidance, Zhao Dingli managed to make the beef tender and soft, which was quite good.
The tomato green pea soup was cooked thick and sweet and sour.
Since there was already boiled beef, he didn’t add beef to the soup to avoid repetition.
The little guy had a special fondness for this bowl of soup and ate quite a bit.
With dinner from Zhao Dingli in the evening, everyone was full, satisfied, and left contentedly.
Before going to sleep, Zhao Dingli reminded Li Xiaoyun, "Get some rest early; tomorrow morning we’ll go get the household registration book."
Not only was Li Xiaoyun’s household registration book with her parents, but Zhao Dingli’s was with the elder Zhao.
Tomorrow, they’ll have to visit both places, which will take quite some time.
The next morning, Zhao Dingli spoke with Rui Changhuai about not going to the office.
Although Zhao Dingli wasn’t a workaholic like Han Zhuoling, he never took leave unless it was urgent.
Thus, Rui Changhuai couldn’t help but ask a question.
Afterward, Rui Changhuai regretted it deeply and kept chastising himself for asking too much.
"I’m going with Xiaoyun to get the certificate," Zhao Dingli said, "In the future, you’ll have a boss lady."
Rui Changhuai promptly congratulated.
Zhao Dingli continued to smile, "Such big news, shouldn’t you also inform everyone in the company? Let them all know they’ll have a boss lady from now on."
"That’s necessary," Rui Changhuai quickly replied, "Boss, should we also inform Ruis?"
"Hmm?" Zhao Dingli hadn’t really thought of that.
Then Rui Changhuai said, "The boss’s wife keeps a low profile and definitely wouldn’t deliberately bring it up over at Ruis. So, they probably won’t know about the boss’s wife getting married for a while."
"Moreover, if there are any little people out there thinking that the boss’s wife hasn’t been married for a while and expecting you to break up, trying to trip her up and whispering unpleasant things..." Rui Changhuai theorized.
Poor people at Ruis, without any blame, got blacklisted by Rui Changhuai in front of Zhao Dingli.
It was quite unfair.
But Zhao Dingli felt Rui Changhuai’s concern was reasonable.
Indeed, he’s Changlin’s first assistant.
Doing splendidly.
"Yes, it is necessary," Zhao Dingli said, quite satisfied with Rui Changhuai’s foresight.
"You should personally inform Ruis’s CEO; they should know what to do," Zhao Dingli said.
"Alright," Rui Changhuai agreed.
"And remind them again that Xiaoyun is low-key, so don’t overdo it," Zhao Dingli added.
"Alright," Rui Changhuai agreed to all of Zhao Dingli’s requests, to ensure the news of Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun getting married is known throughout Ruis but not too high-profile.
Rui Changhuai accepted all effortlessly.
Anyway, it wasn’t him having a hard time; it was Ruis’s CEO.
Rui Changhuai had no pressure whatsoever.
With nothing else to advise on, Rui Changhuai asked before hanging up, "Boss, after you and the boss’s wife get the certificate, should I send it out? That way, it creates more of a sense of ceremony. Of course, I’ll prepare the content in advance."
"Fine," Zhao Dingli agreed.
Rui Changhuai hung up and went to handle it.
Since they needed photos, Li Xiaoyun put on some light makeup.
Once she finished, Zhao Dingli also completed his call.
"Work?" Li Xiaoyun asked.
"No, I was just letting Rui Changhuai know I won’t be going to the office this morning," Zhao Dingli explained.
Li Xiaoyun didn’t think much of it.
Even though she knew Zhao Dingli would show off a bit among the Eight Great Families, Li Xiaoyun never imagined he would also flaunt at the company.
After all, she had never personally experienced it.
She certainly didn’t expect Zhao Dingli wouldn’t spare Ruis either.
Li Xiaoyun simply and innocently went with Zhao Dingli first to Mr. Li and Mrs. Li’s place.
That’s what Zhao Dingli thought.
Even though Mr. Li and Mrs. Li had agreed to the wedding for the two.
Still, for today’s certificate obtaining, it’s better to first get Mr. Li and Mrs. Li’s approval to feel assured.
Once they obtained the household registration book, it was settled.
Old Lao Ye wouldn’t disagree.
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li never expected this; they were discussing wedding plans yesterday and today the two were getting the certificate.
The two were still at home organizing.
Since they retired, they had no pressing matters to attend to, nor did they need to go to the market for groceries every day.
Usually, Mrs. Li and Mr. Li went to the market once to buy about three or four days’ worth of groceries.
Thus, they had few tasks during the day and slept well, not having the common concern among elderly of waking up too early.
They generally slept until around seven or eight in the morning.
When Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun arrived, it was just after eight.
Mrs. Li was cooking noodles, and Mr. Li was wiping the table.
Hearing the door open, Mr. Li felt quite puzzled.
