"This stir-fried beef is also delicious, brother...Brother Tian, I feel like the food you cook is even more delicious than before!"
Xia Nuannuan praised with excitement on her face.
"Then eat more!"
Qin Tian smiled and put some more vegetables into her bowl.
"Uh-huh!"
"Nuan Nuan, you can call me whatever you want. There is nothing to disguise in front of me and your father."
Su Xia said something funny.
Xia Nuannuan's face turned slightly red and she hummed shyly.
Xia Zhengping curled his lips, and for the sake of the delicious dishes Qin Tian cooked and the fact that Qin Tian doted on his precious daughter, he reluctantly accepted his little quirk.
"But these dishes made by Xiao Qin are really delicious. Besides studying, Xiao Qin, your cooking talent is also a bit scary. It is much better than Nuan Nuan."
Su Xia said with a smile.
"Mom...what are you talking about? I'm a pretty good cook, right?"
Xia Nuannuan quickly raised her head and looked at her mother with resentful eyes.
During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, she often learned cooking from her mother at home, but God did not seem to have given her the talent in this area, and her learning was not satisfactory.
Of course, she still had to hold on in front of Qin Tian, and she couldn't let him feel that her feminine power was much worse than her mother's.
As for cooking, if you have time when you go home during the holidays, you can let your mother teach you her experience and continue to improve.
"Auntie, young people of our generation are already very good at cooking. Before, no one in our class could participate in the outdoor barbecue after military training."
Qin Tian chuckled and said something to Xia Nuannuan.
"Really? Then it was you who took action in the end?"
Su Xia asked curiously.
"Yes, mom, let me tell you, the kebabs he makes are also delicious, much better than the seafood dinner in dad's shop."
Xia Nuannuan took over the conversation with a proud smile on her face.
"That's because you're tired of eating. Look at those female classmates of yours. Who would say that kebabs can taste better than my seafood dinner?"
Xia Zhengping retorted somewhat unconvinced.
"That's because they didn't eat the kebabs made by Brother Tian, and the seafood was not made by you. Except for the raw ones, the rest were made by the chef."
Xia Nuannuan said sternly.
Lao Xia had a dark face and stared at her daughter with her elbows turned outward with resentful eyes.
"Hahaha……"
Su Xia couldn't help laughing.
Qin Tian almost couldn't hold himself still, he quickly lowered his head and ate the food silently.
"Dad, I'm just kidding. I know your seafood is delicious. Come on, please eat more meat."
Xia Nuannuan smiled coquettishly and gave Lao Xia a roast duck leg as apology.
Lao Xia snorted angrily, looked at his wife beside him and said, "It's a shame that we were so serious in discussing what kind of gift we should give her for her eighteenth birthday. Look at this girl, I've been hurting her for so many years in vain.
Already."
"Okay, okay, Nuannuan, didn't you apologize?"
Su Xia comforted her in a funny way.
"Just a duck leg?"
Lao Xia complained like this, but still picked up the duck leg and started to eat it.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I know you are the best and love me the most."
Xia Nuannuan blinked her big eyes and began to use her coquettish and cute skills.
"You can do it now. Now that I have Xiao Qin, the word "best" does not fall on me."
"Oh, Lao Xia, why are you so bitter! Who said it's best to be alone?"
"Nuan Nuan is right."
Qin Tian nodded in agreement.
Xia Zhengping glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
"Okay, you two, stop making trouble."
Su Xia couldn't help laughing but tried to smooth things over and changed the subject: "Nuan Nuan, is there anything special you want for your birthday gift?"
When Qin Tian heard this, he also hurriedly pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.
Recently, he has been secretly preparing a birthday gift for Xia Nuannuan, and now he has already finished some of it.
"Is there anything you particularly want..."
Xia Nuannuan thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I really can't think of this. I feel like I'm lacking everything. Anyway, it'll be fine if you decide. I like both."
"This year is different from previous years. The eighteenth birthday gift is more important. Here's the thing. Your dad and I discussed before and planned to buy you a house near Jiangda. Then you will decide the decoration and design yourself. Everything will be done by you.
You make the decision yourself, what do you think?"
Su Xia said something shocking.
"buy house?"
Xia Nuannuan looked at her mother in astonishment.
Qin Tian on the side was also quite surprised.
"right!"
Su Xia nodded with a gentle smile and explained: "The eighteenth birthday means adulthood, which means you have become independent. We think this birthday gift is very suitable."
"And it will be more convenient to buy you a house near the school. It will be more convenient to have a place to stay. When I come to Jiangcheng again, I can go there directly."
"If nothing else, you should stay in Jiangcheng after graduation, right? It's better to buy the house sooner rather than later. House prices have been soaring in recent years."
After hearing these words, Xia Nuannuan said blankly: "But I think it's good to live in a dormitory, and there's no need to buy a house!"
"It's not a contradiction. If you want to live in the dormitory, of course you can still live in the dormitory. It just gives you a place to stay. For example, if you and Xiao Qin get tired of eating in the school cafeteria one day and want to cook your own food, then you can do what you did today.
There’s a place to sit and have a meal together, right?”
Su Xia said with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan's eyes lit up when she heard this. After looking at Qin Tian beside her, she nodded with a bright smile and agreed: "Then I think it's pretty good. You just decide."
"Then it's settled. Your dad and I will go have a look around in the next few days and try to make a decision before the National Day."
"Yeah, thank you mom, thank you dad, you are the best!"
"This was all your mother's idea."
Lao Xia said with a somewhat depressed tone.
When he first heard his wife's proposal, he was naturally opposed to it.
After all, if I bought a house near the school, wouldn't that create convenient conditions for a brat like Qin Tian?
But after his wife's reasonable persuasion, he still compromised.
The main prerequisite for this is that he has already recognized Qin Tian as his future son-in-law in his heart.
He also sees his daughter's feelings for Qin Tian.
In his opinion, it is already difficult to separate.
And he would never allow this to happen. He couldn't imagine how seriously hurt his daughter would be if she was separated from Qin Tian.
Therefore, he agreed to his wife's proposal, thinking that it would be beneficial to the relationship between his daughter and Qin Tian.
Of course, as a condition, his wife also promised that he would have a serious talk with his precious daughter and let her fall in love and not give everything away so easily.
"Um...Uncle Xia, Auntie, I have something to ask you."
Qin Tian suddenly spoke.
When Xia Zhengping and his wife heard this, they looked at him with doubts.
"Xiao Qin, what's going on? Just tell me!"
Su Xia asked.
"It's like this. I currently have some funds in hand. Listening to what you just said, I was wondering if you could help me look at a house by the way."
Qin Tian said his request with a serious face.
The couple was stunned for a moment.
"Just like your family and Nuannuan grandpa and grandma, it's best to buy one that's right next door."
