章 53: Chapter 53 Picnic
The next morning, Mike walked out of the room and saw George in the hall, playing with beef.
Grandma Connie was holding a wine glass and watching from the side.
"How is this going?" Mike was confused. How could the relationship between the two of them look so harmonious now when they still looked dissatisfied with each other yesterday?
Mike walked over and asked in a low voice, "Grandma Connie, have you given the secret recipe to George?"
"Uh-huh," Grandma Connie nodded. When she saw the smile on George's face, she "tsk" in displeasure and whispered contemptuously, "What a fool who is easily satisfied."
It can be seen that Grandma Connie still looks down on her son-in-law, but she has learned to hide this emotion from the other party.
Mike looked at George, who was looking silly and happy, and shook his head. In terms of scheming, George is still a few steps behind Grandma Connie.
However, who made George take possession of Mary without the consent of his mother-in-law?
Now this kind of treatment is considered what he deserves.
George, who was busy at work, looked up and saw Mike. He smiled and said, "Mike, you are in for a treat today. I will make the most authentic Texas secret barbecue."
Judging from the way George caressed the beef, he felt very good now.
"Okay, I will taste it carefully when the time comes," Mike responded with a smile, without saying anything that would offend the scenery.
Then, he went to the bathroom.
After Mike finished washing up, put on a refreshing summer dress, and came to the living room again, George had already marinated the beef that needed to be roasted.
A whole portion of beef, about ten kilograms, was neatly placed in a transparent box, which looked very professional.
"OK, we can go," George picked up the box with satisfaction. He couldn't wait to cook the barbecue immediately and let everyone have a taste of his craftsmanship.
"Wait..." Grandma Connie put down her wine glass, quickly went to the coat rack, took down a wide-brimmed hat and a pair of sunglasses from the top, put them on, turned around, and asked, "How do I look?"
It was September now, and the hottest weather is not over yet. Although Grandma Connie is old, she still pays great attention to maintenance.
Her current look, in addition to being fashionable, can also protect her from the hot sun.
"Very beautiful," Mike praised sincerely.
George on the side, looking at his mother-in-law's exaggerated dress, rolled his eyes secretly but did not speak.
"Thank you," Grandma Connie responded to Mike with a smile, then put away her smile and said to George on the side, "You can go!"
Today's picnic was sponsored by the church, and Pastor Jeff had also informed everyone of the location in advance. The location was in the town. A farm more than ten kilometers away.
This distance can be said to be close or far, just enough to satisfy the curiosity of the believers for a picnic without making everyone tired.
At the door of Cooper's house, George put the marinated beef in the trunk of the car and shouted into the house, "Mary, let the children come out, it's time for us to set off."
"Right away," Mary's anxious voice came from the room. "Shelly, hurry up."
Then, there was another "ding-dong-dang" sound from the house.
Taking care of three children is not that easy.
After a while, Mary came out with Missy and little George.
Because she was entrusted by Pastor Jeff to be responsible for everyone's meals, Mary carried a lot of kitchen utensils and spices in her hands, so she was well prepared.
When Missy saw Mike, her eyes lit up and she swooped over like a baby: "Mike, you are so handsome today."
As mentioned before, children can feel the changes in the family atmosphere best.
Last night, George, who got the secret barbecue recipe, stopped quarreling with Mary. After discovering this, Missy naturally returned to her former liveliness.
Mike caught Missy dragged her up and spun her around in the air twice, making the little girl giggle.
Sure enough, a soft and cute little girl is much more popular than an arrogant and annoying brat.
Of course, the case for this is limited to Missy and Little Sheldon.
After putting the little girl down with a smile, Mike deliberately teased, "Why, wasn't I handsome before?"
Mike was wearing a hard white shirt today, looking refreshing and handsome.
But to say that he is more handsome today is not necessarily true.
"No, no, Mike has always been handsome," Missy quickly explained, her face turned red.
The little girl's anxious and urgent look made Mike laugh again. After that, he stopped teasing the other person. After thanking him, he also praised, "Missy, you are also very beautiful today."
The little girl was wearing a pink floral skirt today and had hair on her head. In butterfly hairpins, the butterfly wings will tremble slightly when walking.
This outfit makes her look even more adorable, just like a little flower fairy.
"Really?" Missy received the compliment and happily spun around twice, showing off her cuteness.
Then, she put away her cheerful expression, did a ladylike squat, and said softly, "Thank you."
On the other side, George helped Mary put away the kitchen utensils and looked around: "Where's Shelly, why haven't you come out yet?"
Before Mary could explain, a figure wearing a small "space suit" slowly walked out of the room.
After looking at everyone, Little Sheldon said, "I hope I'm not late. Okay, we can set off."
Looking at Little Sheldon's weird clothes, Mary's anger climbed up again: "Shelley, didn't I prepare clothes for you? What's going on with you?"
Faced with his mother's roar, little Sheldon took
off his resin helmet, took two breaths of fresh air, and explained seriously, "The wilderness is too dangerous, there are all kinds of animals, as well as fungi, bacteria, viruses...the clothes you prepared for me can't protect me at all."
"Fortunately, I prepared my protective clothing, which can protect me from the outside world..." He said, Little Sheldon gestured to the small "space suit" on his body, looking arrogant and ready to compliment me.
Little Sheldon hates animals, even a chicken can make him feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, going for a picnic is a difficult test for him.
However, we don't care whether the equipment Little Sheldon is wearing can protect his health.
But in September weather, if you wear such a thick, airtight "space suit" and go out for a day, you will suffer from heat stroke due to the sweltering heat.
"Haha, Cookie, aren't you hot?" Grandma Connie looked at Little Sheldon's bulky clothes and laughed happily.
"Not really," Little Sheldon wiped the sweat from his forehead and said stiffly.
Mary went over and took the temperature of her son's forehead and exclaimed, "God bless you, you are about to have heatstroke. Go back and change your clothes quickly."
Between heatstroke and being infested by bacteria, little Sheldon would rather choose the former.
He still stood stubbornly in place, refusing to move his feet.
"Go quickly," George scolded with a cold face.
At home, although Mary seems to be stricter, in little Sheldon's heart, he is more afraid of George.
Hearing the other party's scolding, little Sheldon looked at Grandma Connie for help.
Grandma Connie just shook her head slightly this time, saying that she couldn't help her little pie. In this case, little Sheldon could only walk towards the house honestly.
Mary followed back to the house just in case.
