Chapter 621 The Most Relaxing Night
"That's fine. Mu Bai is here so you should be serious. You feel embarrassed to act like a spoiled child in front of me, but do you feel embarrassed to act like a spoiled child in front of others?"
Hearing Chen Qingyu say this, Jiang Jinglan immediately straightened up and moved his head away from Chen Qingyu's shoulder.
"Sister Jinglan, Aunt, the barbecue isn't ready yet. The kitchen prepared this mung bean soup in case we get a sore throat from the barbecue. I'll bring it to you. Why don't you drink some first?"
"Okay, Mu Bai, since you specially brought it here, we have to try it anyway."
"Mu Bai, why did you only bring two bowls? Aren't you going to drink it?"
"I just drank it in the kitchen. Auntie said pregnant women can't drink anything too cold, so I drank one bowl and didn't dare to drink anymore."
"So that's how it is. Then, Mu Bai, don't drink it later. I'll ask the kitchen to make you some sour plum juice. Sour plum juice can help you get rid of greasiness and goes well with barbecue."
"Dad has already told the kitchen to cook it. It should be ready soon. There's quite a lot of it and we can all drink some later."
"Not bad, An is very thoughtful."
While the three were talking, Jiang Ping also came back from outside, and Chen Qingyu told him that they were going to have a barbecue in the yard tonight.
"Put your things in the room quickly and change into comfortable clothes. When you are better, we can go to the yard to find An together."
"Okay, I'll go change my clothes now."
The barbecue grill has been set up in the yard, and the ingredients for the barbecue have been prepared and displayed in the kitchen.
When Jiang Mubai and the other four arrived at the yard, they all exclaimed, "How can we possibly finish all the food we prepared? Uncle, don't you want me to finish this meal and then not grill anything else for me?"
"Hahahaha, we definitely can't finish it. There's enough food for the servants in the old house. I thought that since we're going to have a barbecue today, it would be more lively if we have more people. At least we'll have a good atmosphere, right?"
"Of course, eating in the open air and grilling it yourself will definitely be a good atmosphere. Is there anything grilled already? Uncle, I'm starving."
"Not yet. You can eat something ready-made first. There are salted peanuts and ice jelly prepared by the kitchen over there. You can add whatever you want to the ice jelly."
"This barbecue arrangement is really great. Mu Bai, do you want to eat some ice jelly? Let's go make a bowl for ourselves together?"
"Okay."
Jiang Mubai followed Jiang Jinglan to the place where the ice jelly was placed. She thought about how Jiang An worked so hard to bake food for them, so in order to repay him, she made two bowls of ice jelly, one bowl for herself and one bowl for Jiang An. To be fair, Jiang Mubai made the same bowl for both bowls.
Seeing Jiang Mubai making so much, Jiang Jinglan became concerned, "Mubai, why did you make so much? Can you finish it by yourself?"
"I haven't eaten it for a long time. Why not take this opportunity to enjoy it? I'll just have one bowl. This bowl is for your second uncle."
"Okay, then you should eat less. Eating too much cold food is not good for pregnant women. I'll make two more bowls and bring them to my parents later."
"Well, I see."
When Jiang Mubai and Jiang Jinglan brought their DIY ice jelly to Chen Qingyu and the other three, Jiang Ping also joined Jiang An's barbecue army. Barbecuing with two people is always much faster than Jiang An barbecuing alone.
"You two brothers will definitely be much faster together than An alone. You should learn more from An so that next time we don't need him to help us with the barbecue and you can do it instead."
"Then I have to learn more from An, otherwise when will we be able to eat barbecue if he has to do it all by himself?"
"That's why I asked you to go down and help. It's definitely too late for one person to roast for four people. It's better for the two of you to do it."
It was a rare opportunity for them to have such a good mood and opportunity to get together and chat. Chen Qingyu and Jiang Ping were very happy to see this scene.
"Mom, this is the ice jelly that you, dad and I made. Try it and see how it tastes."
"Just leave it here. Your father and your second uncle are busy cooking right now. I'm afraid they don't have time to eat the ice jelly. Let's wait until they finish baking it."
"Okay, I'll put it here first. Mu Bai, you should sit down too and stop standing."
"I'll go over and see how they're baking."
"No, there's no need for us. Besides, it's too fumy there for us to go. It's not safe to go there. You should just stay here with us and wait for the food."
"Yeah, I think my second uncle and my dad are enjoying themselves, so let's not go over and make trouble, just sit back and wait for food."
"Well, then, why don't the people in the old house come out to eat? I remember that they have their share of these, and there's no food in the kitchen today."
"They may still be packing up in there. Once the kitchen is cleaned up, they will come out. That whole row of shelves over there are for them to use. When they come, the yard will be bustling with activity."
While Jiang Mubai was chatting with Jiang Jinglan, they saw the servants of the old house coming out with things. They were holding colored lanterns and were planning to create a more atmospheric atmosphere.
"How romantic! After you finish decorating, go pick something to bake. Baking takes a long time and you must be hungry at this late hour."
"Okay, ma'am. Here are the green bean soup and sour plum juice made in the kitchen and placed on the table for you. We also brought out some ice cubes and put them together. Just call me if you need anything."
"Today everyone can eat and drink as much as they want. We will provide everything for you and we won't ask you to help us. You can eat in peace without having to worry about us."
"Okay ma'am, we'll go over there first then."
Tonight was the most relaxing and happiest night Jiang Mubai had ever spent in the Jiang family. Although she didn't know why Jiang Jinglan suddenly changed his attitude towards her, the feeling of sitting together and chatting was quite good. Maybe she was infected by the atmosphere of everyone eating together, or maybe Jiang Mubai hadn't gotten along with others like this for a long time, so she felt that barbecuing in the yard tonight was really interesting.
Jiang Mubai was pregnant and didn't dare to eat too much of these things for fear of stomach discomfort. The kitchen made white fungus soup which was just right for her to drink, so she ate a few skewers of barbecue and drank a bowl of soup and was almost full.
But everyone was still sitting in the yard barbecuing and chatting, and she felt embarrassed to leave early, so she had to stay and watch quietly with everyone.
The kitchen also prepared a lot of fruits. Jiang An was worried that Jiang Mubai would eat too little and get hungry in the middle of the night, so he kept asking Jiang Mubai to eat more fruits.
"I'm full. Look, I've eaten all the fruit until a small part is left."
Jiang An saw that Jiang Mubai had indeed eaten a lot of the plate, so he stopped asking her to eat. "Mubai, do you like what daddy bakes? If you like it, I'll bake it for you again. Just tell me what you want to eat."
"I like it, your cooking is very good, but I'm full and it's not good to eat too much of this."
"Okay, then we can hold a barbecue in the yard next time."
"Okay."
After they finished eating and chatted for a while, they went back to rest. After all, Jiang An and Jiang Ping had to go to the company to deal with things tomorrow, and Jiang Mubai was also a little tired. Jiang Jinglan and Chen Qingyu just wanted to take this opportunity to have some fun. They couldn't eat too much of these things in order to maintain their figure and skin.
So in less than an hour and a half, they dispersed, and only the servants of the old house were left in the yard still partying, and a few of them were chatting on the way back.
"Without us here, they will definitely feel more comfortable. Look, we haven't even reached the room yet and they are talking louder. It's really true that we are not strict with others!"
"That must be different, right? No matter how amiable the boss is, he is still the boss. How can they feel relaxed and at ease when the boss is around?"
"Well, luckily we left early, otherwise if they had just sat there they wouldn't have been able to relax and enjoy their meal."
"Fortunately, we sympathize with them."
