No. 110 Perfect

Gu Yan was so excited that day that he didn't know what to do. Li Wanqing didn't care about him and let him digest it slowly.

It was not until the two of them were lying on the kang at night and Gu Yan gently placed his hand on Li Wanqing's belly that he felt it was real.

"Wife, thank you, thank you for giving birth to my children and giving me a home." Gu Yan never dreamed that he would be so happy in his life.

All of this was brought to him by Li Wanqing. If it weren't for Li Wanqing, he wouldn't know any medicinal herbs. Even when hunting, he wouldn't dare to provoke tigers and other ferocious beasts without Li Wanqing's space support.

Not only Gu Yan doesn't dare to provoke him, but all hunters don't dare to provoke him. Otherwise, why are hunters generally not rich?

You have to know that if you kill a tiger and sell it for hundreds of taels of silver, people are afraid of earning money but not being able to spend it. Usually, people avoid these big guys when they see them.

It was this year that Gu Yan had Li Wanqing's space to support him, so he hunted so many big guys and sold them for a lot of silver.

Not to mention the medicinal herbs, he and his wife had dug a lot of them and earned a lot of money.

Moreover, my daughter-in-law's ability to identify and prepare medicinal herbs can be passed on to future generations.

He felt happy when he thought that his son would not have to be a hunter like him in the future and could support the family by collecting herbs.

In fact, like other people in the mountains, his biggest wish is to move out of the mountains so that his descendants will no longer have to live in such a precarious situation.

Li Wanqing didn't know that Gu Yan had thought so much. She just felt that this man was good to her, so she was willing to give birth to children for him.

"Well, since you know I'm a good person, you should listen to me and treat me better in the future," said Li Wanqing.

"Of course. If I don't listen to you, my wife, who should I listen to? From now on, I will not only treat you better, but also treat the children better." Even if Li Wanqing asked for the stars in the sky, Gu Yan would find a way to pick them for her.

"Go to sleep quickly, I'm sleepy." Maybe it's because of pregnancy, Li Wanqing is particularly sleepy now.

"Okay, go to sleep, I'll hold you..." Before Gu Yan finished speaking, Li Wanqing in his arms began to snore.

Gu Yan smiled, pulled up the quilt on Li Wanqing's side, and closed his eyes.

Over the next few days, Li Wanqing fully enjoyed the treatment of the Empress Dowager, with everything provided for her, but it was a bit far-fetched.

Because Gu Yan couldn't cook, the meals for the past two days were prepared under the guidance of Li Wanqing.

Gu Yan studied very hard. His original words were: "We don't have any elderly people to help us. I have to learn how to cook so that I can take better care of you in the future."

Since Gu Yan has this intention, Li Wanqing will certainly not refuse.

And what Gu Yan said is right. Not to mention the current pregnancy period, even after giving birth, Gu Yan will have to take care of her during the confinement period. How can he do that if he doesn’t know how to cook?

So Li Wanqing would teach Gu Yan how to cook every time it was mealtime these days.

Time always passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

Today, Li Wanqing took out twenty kilograms of pork belly and planned to teach Gu Yan how to make braised pork.

"Chop the meat into small pieces, yes, all of it.

Then, blanch the cut meat in cold water. When the water boils, skim off the foam. Let it cook for a while, then remove the meat.

Pour out the water in the pot, wash the pot clean, put oil in the pot, add rock sugar, and stir-fry slowly.

Put the meat in and continue to stir-fry to release all the oil in the meat.

Okay, pour the boiling water in, then add salt and seasoning." Li Wanqing instructed Gu Yan step by step.

"Okay, just add two more pieces of firewood and let it burn." Li Wanqing stuffed two more pieces of firewood into the stove.

"Is that all? No need to watch it?" Gu Yan asked, looking at the big pot that was bubbling.

"No need, just make sure the fire doesn't go out." Li Wanqing said.

"Okay, I got it. I'll just watch over here. You can go back to the room and rest, wife." After Gu Yan understood clearly, he knew what to do next.

"I'm not tired either, so I'll stay here with you and discuss what to eat for the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow.

By the way, are we still going to your parents' place?" I need to ask this first.

"No, from now on, except when my parents have something to do, we won't go there." Gu Yan was really disappointed by them. He didn't want to get involved with them anymore.

"That's fine. With so many of them here, the New Year celebrations will probably be just like that. Why don't we make some delicious food at home?" Li Wanqing said.

"I don't want to get involved with them, so let's just stay home.

"Wife, what do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll make it for you." Gu Yan said.

"Let's cook a few more dishes tomorrow, not only my favorites, but also some of your favorites.

How about this, we each name five dishes, so between the two of us that would be ten dishes, to make it perfect," Li Wanqing suggested enthusiastically.

"Okay, wife, you speak first." Gu Yan never refused Li Wanqing's words.

"First of all, there must be braised pork, and fish as well. Having fish every year is a good omen. You tell me what to do next." Li Wanqing thought for a while and said.

His wife asked him to speak, and Gu Yan thought for a moment and came up with two suggestions: "Make a boiled chicken. I learned how to make it last time you taught me. And make a meatball. If you like beef meatballs, then make beef ones."

Li Wanqing felt very comforted to see that her man was thinking about her all the time. She couldn't help but mention two of his favorite dishes: "Okay, since you like boiled pork slices, I'll make one tomorrow and some tripe soup."

Gu Yan saw that the two dishes his wife mentioned were his favorites, and the warmth in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.

"Let's make stir-fried bamboo shoots with bacon, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes." These two are also Li Wanqing's favorites.

"Add another pig's ear." Li Wanqing said with a smile.

"Let's stir-fry a vegetarian dish for the last one. How about garlic and green vegetables?" Gu Yan also said.

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

The two of them chatted and laughed while deciding on tomorrow's dishes.

It was at this time that Gu Nian and Zhang Cuihua came to the house.

This time, it was Gu Yan who discovered the person first.

"Wife, I'll go get some firewood." There was not much firewood left in the kitchen, so Gu Yan prepared to go to the pile of firewood and get some in.

"Huh? Why does it seem like someone is coming?" However, just as he reached the door, Gu Yan discovered that someone was coming towards them at the foot of the mountain.

"Really? Who would come in this weather? And aren't you the only family living around here? Is that right, fourth brother?" Li Wanqing also stood up and walked to the door to see.

"It's not the fourth brother. To me, they look more like Gu Nian and Zhang Cuihua." Gu Yan stood there and looked at the two people.

"Gu Nian and Zhang Cuihua? What are they here for? They are not here to ask you to go back for the New Year, are they?" An idea popped into Li Wanqing's mind like lightning.
