Chapter 57

Shi Wen of people having a great time petting snow leopards at the zoo.

In the evening, Shi Wen and Yan Kexing returned home.

As usual, the little ones ran out to greet them.

The dogs ran straight to Shi Wen's feet, trotting and circling around him, their tails wagging happily.

The two Hu Zai stopped two or three meters away from Shi Wen, one front paw in front and the other behind, looking at him hesitantly.

Shi Wen just petted An Wa's big dog head and was about to pet a little guy when I looked up and saw the two Hu Zai looking like this.

The two Hu Zai were a size bigger than Heiwa, and their plumpness had receded slightly, making their limbs appear exceptionally strong and imposing.

However, all of this was ruined by their hesitant little expressions.

Shi Wen could tell from their little expressions that they had smelled the snow leopard, and he was immediately delighted. He let go of An Wa, took two steps forward, reached out and scooped up one of the Hu Zai.

Once the Hu Zai was picked up, it became lively again, placing its strong paws on his shoulders and trying to lick him with its tongue. "Woof!"

The Hu Zai's tongue was covered in rough barbs, like a brush. Shi Wen didn't want to be licked and turned her head away.

Another Hu Zai ran to his feet, tugging at his hem with its paws, wanting a hug too. "Aww!"

Shi Wen bent down, supporting one Hu Zai's bottom with one hand, and picked up both Hu Zai.

The two Hu Zai looked down at each other, their faces clearly showing a smug expression.

The dogs didn't seem to mind. Cong Zai glanced at him, then jumped up from behind Shi Wen, climbed up his lower back, and soon reached his neck, placing its two front paws on his head. "Meow."

Shi Wen felt Cong Zai's soft paws supporting her, and she lowered her head slightly to make her stand more steadily.

Gong Jiang and the other two ran out to see what was happening.

Upon Shi Wen's behavior, Lin Chengqian couldn't help but say, "Brother Shi, you're spoiling the kid way too much!"

Shi Wen a little embarrassed, so he first put the two Hu Zai down, then picked up Cong Zai and hugged him, giving him a good pat on the back. "You're alright. Are you going back? Take some mutton back with you?"

Shi Wen's family has a lot of lamb, and there are still more than ten pounds left in the refrigerator. It's just right for the three of them to take back and eat.

Gong Jiang: "No need, you can keep it for yourselves."

Shi Wen, "If we want to eat it, we can just slaughter another sheep. You can take it back and use it to make noodles or hot pot. If all else fails, it's also good to boil it in plain water and dip it in sauce."

Shi Wen that their dorm had a kitchen and that they sometimes worked very late, Shi Wen, holding Cong Zai, enthusiastically suggested, "Why don't you take some chive blossom sauce back with you? We can't finish it, it'll be a waste to leave it here."

Yan Kexing here, Shi Wen that there's no way he'd eat chive blossom sauce.

Image is more important than taste; what if they need to kiss someday?

Gong Jiang and the other two initially didn't want to take them, but after seeing Yan Kexing nod encouragingly, they each took a few pounds of mutton and a jar of chive blossom sauce back with them.

Their school is in City B, and now that they've come here to work with Yan Kexing, they're temporarily affiliated with the local school and living in the school's teachers' dormitory.

The dormitory is small, with each person living in a two-bedroom suite, but the environment is quiet and the security is very high.

They received employee cards and can use the school library; the conditions are quite good.

Ordinary professors wouldn't receive such treatment when they bring their own people. Only Yan Kexing high status and many friends, was able to live so comfortably because the local government was willing to extend an olive branch to him.

When the car pulled up in front of the dormitory building, Lin Chengqian noticed a car with a license plate from City B and couldn't help but take a second look.

Ge Yue noticed his gaze and followed it, asking, "Has some big shot come down for an inspection?"

Lin Chengqian: "It looks like my second uncle's car; the license plate looks familiar."

Ge Yue: "Oh, your family came to visit you?"

Before they finished talking, a man walked over and said, "I recognized your car from afar, I can't believe it really is you."

"Second Uncle!" Lin Chengqian exclaimed in surprise, "What brings you here?"

"I came over to take care of some business and also wanted to drop by. I'm staying here tonight, let's chat?" Lin Huaizhuo them, then asked, "Have you eaten yet? I just bought some groceries, want to grab something to eat together? Or should I treat you to a meal at a restaurant?"

Lin Chengqian said, "We've all eaten, and we even had a mutton feast today. Second Uncle, do you want some mutton? We brought some back with us, let's cut some up for hot pot?"

Lin Huaizhuo: "That works too, let's eat and chat."

Lin Chengqian invited Gong Jiang and Ge Yue, but both of them said they still had work to finish and specially set aside time for the uncle and nephew.

Lin Chengqian then took his second uncle upstairs, cut mutton, boiled water in a pot, and placed an induction cooker on the table, preparing to eat mutton hot pot.

Lin Huaizhuo and personally brought out bowls and chopsticks. Seeing that he also had homemade chive blossom sauce, he first scooped a large spoonful into the bowl, and then dipped it in the sauce with his chopsticks to taste it.

The moment the chive blossom sauce touched his tongue, Lin Huaizhuo's eyes lit up. "Where did this chive blossom sauce come from?"

Before Lin Chengqian Lin Huaizhuo took another bite. "Fragrant but not overpowering, rich but not salty, fresh and spicy, with a smooth texture, not bad, this chive blossom sauce is well made."

Lin Chengqian blurted out, "I got it from my master's father."

Lin Huaizhuo: "Teacher-in-law? Your Professor Yan's boyfriend?"

Lin Chengqian realized he had let something slip and quickly said, "Almost, but it hasn't been made public yet. Second Uncle, please don't tell anyone."

Lin Huaizhuo for the chive blossom sauce and absentmindedly picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks. "Who can I tell? Besides, you're still here, why would I harm you?"

Lin Chengqian thought for a moment, "Anyway, don't tell anyone. I don't think they intend to hide it. Maybe one day they'll reveal it themselves."

Lin Huaizhuo: "I know. Hmm? Where did you get this mutton? It smells so good!"

Lin Chengqian: "He's also from Brother Shi, he's the teacher's boyfriend, Shi Wen."

"Sure," Lin Huaizhuo asked, "Is he a scientist too?"
