Chapter 271 I studied computer science
The car door opened gently, and Zhao Laidi, Zhao Nana, and Zhao Yina stepped out of the car one after another.
Upon hearing the noise, Zhao Zhaodi, who was sitting in the living room, immediately stood up and went out of the main room.
Zhao Laidi, Zhao Yina, and Zhao Nana were seen getting out of the car, chatting and laughing.
Zhao Yuan, on the other hand, carried a bag in each hand and walked towards the kitchen.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhaodi quickly called out:
"dad!"
Then, with light steps, she followed closely behind Zhao Yuan and they went into the kitchen together.
At this moment, a strange young man was standing in the kitchen—Ye Wentao.
He had been focused on arranging the ingredients with his head down when he suddenly heard someone come in and abruptly looked up.
When he saw Zhao Yuan, a warm smile instantly appeared on his face, and he quickly stood up straight to greet Zhao Yuan:
"Hello, Uncle! My name is Ye Wentao, and I am Zhao Zhaodi's classmate at Tsinghua University."
Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded, his gaze sweeping over Ye Wentao as he looked him up and down. Then, with a hint of doubt, he looked at Zhao Zhaodi and asked:
"Zhaodi, how can you let the guests cook? It's so embarrassing."
Before Zhao Zhaodi could answer, Ye Wentao quickly interjected:
"Uncle, please don't think like that. Actually, this was all planned by us. We originally planned to have a gathering at my house, and if that were the case, it would have been my turn to cook. But then everyone said they wanted to come to your house for a lively gathering, so I volunteered to take on the task of cooking."
"Ye Wentao, what did you study at Tsinghua University?"
Zhao Yuan asked with a face full of curiosity.
Ye Wentao smiled slightly and replied, "I studied computer science."
"Wow, that's a really great major! Do you often cook at home? I see all the other students playing cards and having fun right now, but I only see you quietly staying in the kitchen busy cooking."
Zhao Yuan then pressed for more information.
Ye Wentao nodded and said softly:
"Actually, I often cook at home. Because my parents are very busy with work and are often not at home, I have been responsible for preparing all three meals a day since junior high school."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but show admiration and exclaimed in praise:
"Wow, to be so independent at such a young age, your self-care ability is truly admirable! And your studies are so excellent, you're practically a top student, really impressive!"
Ye Wentao quickly waved his hand and replied with a smile:
"You flatter me! If we're talking about excellence, then your Zhao Di is definitely more outstanding. You know, there are very few female students who can get into Tsinghua University, and someone like her, who not only got in but also became this year's top science student, is even rarer!"
Zhao Yuan's face lit up with a smile, and he repeatedly echoed in agreement:
"Haha, yes, yes, you're both excellent!"
After saying that, he walked out of the kitchen.
"Auntie, the rice should be almost ready. Should we start preparing the steamed and stir-fried dishes next?"
Ye Wentao asked Lin Fangfang, who was busy, with a look of anticipation on his face.
Lin Fangfang nodded and responded with a smile:
"Okay, Grandpa should be home soon, let's get started! The dishes Uncle brought back are still warm, we can just put them in bowls later."
As she spoke, she turned around and began to instruct Ye Wentao on how to operate the steamer.
"First, we need to add the right amount of water to the pot."
Lin Fangfang patiently explained.
"After the water boils, add the cured pork, pickled cabbage, and winter bamboo shoots in that order."
Ye Wentao listened very attentively and carefully followed the steps Lin Fangfang had described.
Just then, Lin Fangfang spoke again:
"Alright, let's start cooking the vegetables now. After about 10 minutes, put the fish in the steamer to steam. This way, the fish will be especially delicious!"
Upon receiving the instructions, Ye Wentao immediately got to work. He skillfully picked up the spatula and began stir-frying the dishes in the pan with practiced ease.
During this time, he kept glancing at his watch on his wrist, afraid of missing the best time to steam the fish.
Before long, Ye Wentao had successfully cooked two fragrant dishes. He gently lifted the lid of the steamer, skillfully placed the prepared fish inside, and then put the lid back on, letting the delicious food in the pot steam slowly until cooked.
Just then, a familiar sound of footsteps came from outside the door. It was Grandpa coming home!
As soon as Grandpa entered the kitchen, Ye Wentao rushed forward to greet him, enthusiastically introducing himself:
"Hello, Grandpa! My name is Ye Wentao, and I'm an alumnus of Tsinghua University!"
Grandpa looked at the handsome, sunny, and polite young man before him, his face immediately lighting up with a smile, and he praised him repeatedly:
"Oh my, this young man is really good! Fangfang, how could you let the guests cook?"
After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter, and the whole kitchen was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere.
"It's not Auntie's fault. It's entirely because we classmates insisted on it. How could I go back on my word in front of so many classmates? How could I ever face them again!"
Ye Wentao explained with a smile, his tone relaxed yet slightly mischievous.
At this moment, while Lin Fangfang was busily working, she turned to Zhao Zhaodi and called out:
"Zhaodi, hurry up and set the table, we're about to eat!"
"Okay, Mom!"
Zhao Zhaodi responded and quickly walked towards the main room.
Once inside the main room, she called out loudly to her classmates who were playing happily:
"Class, stop playing now, tidy up, it's time to eat! We can continue playing after we finish eating!"
At this moment, Zhao Yuan was standing next to Li Bin with great interest, his eyes fixed on the cards in everyone's hands, watching everyone play cards with great concentration.
This round happened to be Li Bin's turn to be the dealer, and he appeared confident and composed.
As the situation gradually became clearer, Zhao Yuan couldn't contain his excitement and blurted out:
"Wow, Li Bin, you're on a really good run today! If this keeps up, you're guaranteed to win this round!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhaodi hurriedly spoke up to remind her:
"Dad, I already said to observe the game without speaking, so please don't interfere!"
However, Li Bin waved his hand dismissively and responded with a smile:
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Uncle was just enjoying watching it, that's why he said a few more words."
