Fang Yi had already given the gifts that he should give when the old man celebrated his birthday. Even Fang Yi couldn't afford such a generous gift for the second time. So when he went to Bai Chuxia's house in the evening, Fang Yi simply bought some fruits and went to the door, while Wei Xiaowan and Bai Jingran had been waiting at home for a long time.

What Fang Yi didn't expect was that Bai Jingran, who always had a tight face outside, seemed to have changed his face at home. When he opened the door, he had an apron on his body, and his face and hands were covered with flour, and he looked much easier than before.

"Fang Yi, sit there casually, Jing Ran, you go out to accompany Fang Yi and Mingcheng, I'll just take my own bag."

Wei Xiaowan pushed her husband who opened the door and returned to the kitchen out of the kitchen, and smiled at Fang Yi and said, "You Uncle Bai has never been in the kitchen before. She just said she wanted to help. I think the more you help you, it's just causing trouble for me."

"What do you mean? Why are you getting more and more helpful? Isn't the dumplings very good?"

Bai Jingran said a little dissatisfied: "Xiao Fang, Mingcheng, you two come here to evaluate and see how my dumplings are wrapped. Look at how much stuffing is in this dumpling, it will definitely taste very delicious."

"Dad, I think mom is right, you should come out."

Bai Chuxia stretched her head into the kitchen. When she saw the dumplings her father made, she burst into laughter, "Dad, you are not making dumplings. I think it should be called dumplings. Your dumpling skin is rolled out like a big cake."

"What do you know? Xiao Fang, come and see how uncle's dumplings are like?" Bai Jingran glared at his daughter with his eyes slanted, but asked Fang Yi to judge.

"Ahem, Uncle Bai may think that Brother Wei and I have a lot of appetite, so we deliberately made the dumplings bigger."

After Fang Yi saw the dumplings on the chopping board, he almost couldn't breathe a sigh of relief. The dumplings were bigger than their own fists, and even the buns were not as big as that.

"Did you see, Xiao Fang can speak, Xiao Fang, Mingcheng, can you two make dumplings? Let's do it yourself to make enough food and clothing." Bai Jingran was praised by Fang Yi, and his expression was much softer than that day. He also had some appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Fang Yi.

"Uncle, I can eat dumplings, so let's just forget about making dumplings."

Wei Mingcheng grew up in the military dean. He had a special chef at home to cook. Later, after joining the army, he also ate big pot rice. He had never touched the pot since he was a child, so how could he cook anything?

"Fang Yi, will you? Go and have a fight for your aunt." Bai Jingran did not be polite to Fang Yi, and turned his eyes to him.

"Okay, Uncle Bai, you and Brother Wei will play chess, I'll help you."

Fang Yi nodded with a smile, went into the kitchen to wash his hands, walked to Wei Xiaowan, and said, "Auntie, I rolled the dough faster. You can rest for a while, and we will wrap it together later."

"Fang Yi, you really know how to make dumplings? Forget it, you young people have done these things, you should go out, auntie will do it yourself."

Wei Xiaowan looked at Fang Yi with some surprise. Seeing that Fang Yi had already stood on the edge of the chopping board, she nodded and gave up her position. Wei Xiaowan knew why her husband asked Fang Yi to come in.

"In the past, I had to eat dumplings every year when I was on the mountain."

Fang Yi smiled and kneaded the dough with both hands. When he was with his master, every Chinese New Year, the old Taoist priest would go down the mountain to exchange for a few kilograms of fresh pork, and then the two of them happily ate dumplings. These guys Fang Yi would do it since he could remember.

Fang Yi's movements were very skillful, and there was no sign of astringency. Moreover, his movements were very fast. From kneading dough to rubbing strips to rolling the dough, a set of processes was like flowing water. In just a few minutes, the basin of the dough was rolled into dumpling skins by Fang Yi.

Fang Yi's action of making dumplings was even faster. While Fang Yi was deliberately slowing down, two hundred dumplings were neatly zipped on the chopping board. Looking closely, each dumpling seemed to be exactly the same size, just like it was produced from an assembly line.

Wei Xiaowan, who was standing beside her, was already stunned. She originally wanted Fang Yi to attack her, but unexpectedly, when Fang Yi started to act, she had no chance to attack Fang Yi, and Fang Yi took all the work alone.

"Dad, Fang Yi is here for the first time, why do you let others work?" While Fang Yi was busy in the kitchen, Bai Chuxia was also having a serious talk with his father. Bai Chuxia expressed his dissatisfaction with his father's actions instructing Fang Yi to work.

"What do you know? Dad is testing him."

Bai Jingran lowered his voice a little and said, "You have never done anything since you were a child. If you find someone like you, you will not starve to death when you live together? I'm going to see if Fang Yi will do housework."

It is said that the daughter is the father's little cotton-padded jacket. Although the daughter has been engaged to Fang Yi, Bai Jingran's love for her daughter has only increased and not decreased. Before Fang Yi came, she discussed with Wei Xiaowan to test Fang Yi below.

"Dad, I'm telling you how many hearts you have." Bai Chuxia looked at her father speechlessly.

"Why is it called being too sensible?" Bai Jingran glared at his daughter, "If Fang Yi doesn't know how to do housework, I will hire you a nanny at that time, so that you two can't even have food."

"Uncle, why are you doing so much trouble? If Fang Yi is willing, he can invite all the chefs of the Michelin restaurant to his home to cook."

Listening to the conversation between her uncle and her cousin, Wei Mingcheng couldn't help but curl his lips. When Fang Yi's current wealth and status were now, he didn't need to spend time on these matters of eating, drinking, defecation and urination.

"What do you know? Can that be the same?" When Bai Jingran was about to educate Wei Mingcheng, he suddenly heard a shout from the kitchen: "Jingran, come here quickly and help."

"Hey, I think Fang Yi can do nothing." Hearing his wife's shout, Bai Jingran sighed and stood up.

"Why are all this...going?"

When Bai Jingran walked into the kitchen, he was stunned. More than one or two hundred dumplings were neatly placed on the chopping board like a marching formation. Fang Yi's hands were a little white, but his body was not even stained with flour.

"Xiaowan, what's going on?" Bai Jingran looked at his wife. He knew that his wife was very quick to work, but no matter how quick it was, it was impossible for him to make hundreds of dumplings in just a few minutes.

"It's Fang Yibao. He, his hand speed is really too fast."

Wei Xiaowan had just come back to her senses now and looked at Fang Yi with an incredible look on her face. Not to mention that Fang Yi is a man, even a housewife who does housework all day long is probably far inferior to Fang Yi in the skill of making dumplings.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to have this trick."

Bai Jingran didn't know how difficult it would be to make so many dumplings in such a short time. Now his satisfaction with Fang Yi has skyrocketed. He is rich and can do housework. It's really hard to find such a man now. Perhaps his daughter has found Fang Yi, which is really her best destination.

"You young people go to the house to chat. I can't make dumplings, but I can still put dumplings." Bai Jingran smiled and drove Fang Yi back to the living room, while he happily prepared dumplings for his future son-in-law.

Bai Jingran no longer showed off his bad face to Fang Yi. The atmosphere of this meal was naturally very harmonious. Bai Jingran even opened a bottle of red wine and drank a little with Fang Yi and Wei Mingcheng. After the meal, he even pulled Fang Yi to kill a few Go games.

As Bai Chuxia described, Bai Jingran's level of playing Go can only be described as a terrible sight. Fang Yi simply racked his brains to play chess with Bai Jingran quietly, and finally defeated with a slight disadvantage.

"Bai Jingran, okay, just have a few games to enjoy. Fang Yi is here to visit your house, not to play chess with you." Just as Bai Jingran pulled Fang Yi to continue playing, Wei Xiaowan, who had been watching for more than two hours, was unhappy.

"Okay, I can't do it anymore."

Bai Jingran knew that whenever his wife called him with her name and surname, if she was not tactful, she would be hit like a storm. She immediately pushed the chessboard and said, "Fang Yi's chess skills are very good. If you practice it, maybe I can't beat you."

"Yes, you're a Chess Saint, right?"

Wei Xiaowan covered her forehead with her hands. Speaking of which, her husband is excellent in other aspects, but she is overestimating her ability when playing Go. She is obviously a bad chess player, but she always thinks she is superb. Even if she is not as good as Nie Weiping, she must be at the level of the ninth dan. Otherwise, why wouldn't anyone around dare to play Go with her?

"It's not easy for you to lose to Jing Ran."

Wei Xiaowan looked at Fang Yi with an apology. As the saying goes, bystanders are clear. Wei Xiaowan is also a person who knows Go. Naturally, she can see how many times the chess skills of Fang Yi are better than her husband. Otherwise, she would not have lost every game at once and could not feel it.

"It's uncle who is good at chess." Fang Yi said with a smile. Fortunately, his future mother-in-law saved her, otherwise Fang Yi would not know how many brain cells he would have to die in order to lose chess.

"Fang Yi, this time I asked you to come to your house. First, I recognized the door, and second, my aunt and uncle had something to discuss with you." The things that should have been discussed after dinner were delayed by her husband for more than two hours. Wei Xiaowan couldn't help but glared at her husband next to her again.

"Auntie, just tell me if you have anything."

Fang Yi said sincerely: "I have no parents since I was a child. From now on, I will treat my uncles and aunts like my biological parents. You will not be afraid of anything you have. Just treat me as my own children and educate me."

Fang Yi's words were inspired. He had never enjoyed the warmth of his family and family since he was a child. However, in the Bai family, Fang Yi felt the kind of care and love from his family without any interest.

"Fang Yi, Auntie is not trying to educate you, but she wants to discuss your marriage with Chuxia with you."

After hearing Fang Yi's words, Wei Xiaowan couldn't help laughing and said, "You and Chuxia are already engaged. We want to know what you two have plans?"

"I plan to get married to Chuxia after the house is renovated."

Fang Yi said, "I may have to go to Europe in a while. When I come back, the house should be almost ready. If you agree, I plan to marry Chuxia before moving into the new house."

It is nearly a month before Fang Yi goes to Europe. It may take another month after going back and forth. In two months, Fang Yi's courtyard house should be able to be rebuilt and renovated. Now Huaziyi is arranging someone to work over night shifts.

"Agree, agree, two months have been quite long, and it's enough for you to prepare for the wedding."

Fang Yi, who originally thought that he was a little anxious, saw that his mother-in-law was smiling and nodded. He seemed to be getting married faster than Bai Chuxia. This made Fang Yi a little stunned. Could it be that Wei Xiaowan thought that her daughter could not get married?

"Well, if the decoration is not done, you can live here too." The opening of Bai Jingran made Wei Mingcheng a little stunned. Is the person in front of him still the uncle who is reluctant to marry his daughter and is a little stubborn?

"Dad, mom, do you want to marry me out?"

When Bai Chuxia heard her parents' words, she couldn't stand it anymore. She didn't understand why her parents' attitudes changed so much, because just a few days ago, her father said that she was still young and it would not be too late to get married next year or later.

"Chuxia, leave you to Fang Yi, don't worry."

Wei Xiaowan looked at her daughter with a loving look on her face and said, "Your father and I received a notice of work transfer yesterday. We probably will have to work abroad for the next two years and may not have time to come back, so before leaving, I want to watch you get the wedding done."

"What? Mom, are you going to work abroad?"

When she heard her mother's words, Bai Chuxia was stunned. Although she knew that her parents worked in the diplomatic department, they had been in ministries and commissions over the years, and had never worked abroad or left her side.

"If your dad wants to go further, it won't work if he doesn't go out."

Wei Xiaowan smiled bitterly. Bai Jingran's position in the ministry is very awkward, and she is on the verge of this hurdle between the director and the deputy minister. With the background of the Wei family and the Bai family, it is not difficult for Bai Jingran to take this step. The difficulty is that Bai Jingran's qualifications lack experience in working abroad.

Yesterday, Bai Jingran received a notice that an ambassador abroad had three or four months to complete his term. If Bai Jingran wanted to fill this position, he could fill it. After staying outside for two or three years, he could naturally cross the threshold from director to deputy ministerial level when he came back.

Bai Jingran and Wei Xiaowan got married early, and now they are just in their early forties. They are at the peak of their career development in their lives, so they are naturally unwilling to give up this opportunity. So yesterday, after discussing with Wei Xiaowan, they decided to stay abroad for a few years.

But in this way, the daughter's marriage must be put on the agenda, because this time it was Bai Jingran and his wife who went out together. Even if they could come back in the middle, they probably couldn't come back together. Therefore, they wanted to get their daughter's marriage done before leaving, which was a matter of mercy.

"My mom and dad, where are you going? Why do you have to go so long?"

When Bai Chuxia heard her mother say that she would probably stay abroad for several years, she suddenly turned red. Although she has been very independent since childhood, she has never left her parents in life. The last time she went to Jinling for internship for half a year was already considered long.

"Brazil, it will take at least two years."

Bai Jingran said, "It's a troublesome turnaround from South America to China. I just needed to start the work of awarding me, so I tried not to come back in the first two years of my term. I was worried about you, but now that you have Fang Yi's care, your mother and I can rest assured."

"Well, it turns out that my father-in-law is asking for a entrusted man for his daughter. No wonder he has made a 180-degree turn."

Hearing Bai Jingran's words, Fang Yi suddenly realized that engagement was just a folk form, but marriage was legally effective. His father-in-law was afraid that he would treat his daughter badly, so he urged him to marry Bai Chuxia.

"Uncle, aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of Chuxia." Fang Yi quickly patted his chest and made a promise, thinking that when his father-in-law came back, he might be able to be his grandfather directly.

"Fang Yi, your work nature is quite special. You must pay attention to safety when you are outside."

Bai Jingran rarely cared about Fang Yi. He worked in the diplomatic department for so long and had contacted many secret departments. He knew that Fang Yi should be the kind of person in the United Front, and these people were all unknown heroes. They were unknown when they were alive, and even more unknown after they died.

"Uncle, don't worry, aunt and I will be fine."

Fang Yi nodded seriously. Although it became increasingly difficult to calculate the secret of heaven after advancing to the innate world, the improvement in cultivation also greatly increased Fang Yi's confidence. He really didn't believe that anyone in this world could kill him silently.

"Okay, you can go and work. Your aunt and I will help you with your house during this time."

Bai Jingran can stay in China for about three months, and after this time he will go to Brazil to take up his new position, so he and Wei Xiaowan are now anxious about Bai Chuxia's marriage.
