Rebirth in the Eighties: Reclaiming Space and Marrying a Rough Guy

In her previous life, Ye Jin was pure and kind, but she was schemed against by her stepmother and stepsister, which led to her losing her eyesight and being forced to marry the neighborhood rogue.<...

Chapter 69 Grandma Meets Future Grandson-in-Law

Ye Jin stir-fried the food skillfully, while the tall Gu Yan sat on a small stool and added firewood carefully according to the fire.

The red peppers were put into the pan and fried to produce a spicy smell. Ye Jin was so spicy that she shed tears, and Gu Yan couldn't help coughing a few times.

"The kitchen is hot and choking, and it smells heavily of cooking fumes. I told you to rest outside, but you insisted on coming in. Aren't you just asking for trouble? Ahem!"

Ye Jin coughed as he spoke, and Gu Yan was choked. He immediately held his breath, and only then did he feel better in his lungs.

He originally wanted to be quiet for a while, but the girl kept scolding him. He couldn't hold it in any longer and quickly ran out and took several deep breaths before running back in.

"Why did you come in again?"

Ye Jin's tears came out. Gu Yan pressed her shoulders and pushed her out without saying a word.

"What are you doing? I have to cook!"

Ye Jin refused, and Gu Yan was afraid that she would choke him, so he took a tough attitude.

"Go rest outside, I'm here!"

"But your hand was just injured, and you don't even know how to cook!"

Ye Jin looked at him with suspicion, and Gu Yan smiled brightly at her.

"Who said I can't cook? Wait here, I'll show you my skills!"

Ye Jin wanted to go in, but Gu Yan had already slammed the kitchen door shut and locked it.

After Ye Jin pushed several times without success, she realized that Gu Yan was determined to let her rest.

"This guy is quite nice."

Grandma looked towards the kitchen thoughtfully. This young man is efficient and can cook. Most importantly, he knows how to care for others. The more I look at him, the more I like him!

"Yes, it's okay."

Ye Jin couldn't say anything bad about Gu Yan against her conscience.

"Grandma will investigate carefully for you, and you should also be careful. If you think it's suitable, I don't mind you two being together!"

Grandma thought about it and seemed to have made an important decision. Ye Jin stamped her feet in shame.

"Grandma, I'm still young. I don't have these thoughts at all now. It's okay if you say these things to me, but please don't go to Gu Yan and tell him nonsense."

"Grandma, you're not talking nonsense. I can see that the young man has a crush on you. This is a real possibility."

Grandma stared at the kitchen with a satisfied smile on her face. Originally, she didn't like having outsiders living in her house, but when the young man came, he brought two bundles of firewood and two wild rabbits, and the snow was so heavy, it was inappropriate to drive him out, so she reluctantly took him in.

Who would have thought that this young man was so capable. Not only could he hunt, but he could also clean and repair furniture. Now he even did carpentry work. With such a hardworking person, Ye Jin would never go hungry as long as she followed him.

"Grandma, I don't have that idea now. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back to my room to lie down for a while!"

Before her grandmother could finish her words, she ran into the room quickly, and took the enamel water cup from home with her.

After Ye Jin locked the door, he took a breath for a while before returning to the space to scoop a cup of spring water.

Although the spring water in the space cannot cure all diseases, it is of great benefit to the healing of wounds and the rapid growth of plants.

Ye Jin stood at the window in a daze for a while, and her grandmother was already calling her from outside the door.

"Jinjin, Jinjin, Gu Yan has prepared the meal, come and eat quickly, these dishes are fried crisply and look delicious!"

Grandma highly praised the dishes cooked by Gu Yan. Ye Jin walked up to Gu Yan with a glass of water and looked disapproving.

"Young man, my grandma said you cook well?"

"You can take a look and taste it yourself, and you will know whether my cooking is good or not."

Ye Jin casually stuffed the enamel cup into Gu Yan's hand and said, "You must be exhausted. Drink some water quickly. This is my cup. You must wash it for me after you drink it."

Gu Yan drank half of the water. When he heard that he used Ye Jin's cup, he was so excited that he almost spit out the water in his mouth.

"How is that appropriate?"

"There are only two cups at home. If you don't want to use mine, then use grandma's."

"That's even worse. I can drink water from a bowl."

"What's so particular about this? Didn't we eat from the same bowl?"

Gu Yan recovered and continued to drink water, but when he remembered that this was Ye Jin's cup, he felt that the water in the cup was particularly sweet.

Unexpectedly, the girl said this again, and he almost spit out the water again.

"You're good, you're amazing. If you keep talking, I won't be able to finish this glass of water."

Gu Yan smiled and shook his head, and Ye Jin also smiled.

When she turned around, she saw three exquisite dishes and a soup on the table.

The spicy pig's trotters are colored with dark soy sauce, and the burnt yellow color looks very beautiful. The green and red peppers added in it can not only serve as embellishment but also make the pig's trotters spicy. A handful of green onions are sprinkled on it when it is served out of the pot, and the emerald green color makes people feel good.

In addition to the pig's trotters, there was also a bowl of shredded cabbage and broccoli, and finally a tomato and egg soup. At this point, a table full of delicious food was ready.

"I never thought that I could still eat food outside in my lifetime. It's really not easy."

Ye Jin prepared rice for them and Gu Yan stood up to help serve the rice.

Ye Jin almost stepped on him when she turned around. She took a step back, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Why are you everywhere?"

"Because I'm everywhere!"

Gu Yan took the two bowls of hot rice, and their fingers touched accidentally. Ye Jin quickly retracted her finger as if struck by lightning.

Gu Yan smiled even more brightly. The little girl's hands were so small and soft, as if they had no bones. It felt so comfortable to touch them in his hands. It would be nice if he could hold them all the time.

While eating, grandma kept picking up food for Gu Yan, and his smile became more and more amiable.

"Come here, Xiao Gu, you've been exhausted these past two days. You need to eat more meat to replenish your energy."

Grandma generously put a big piece of fat meat into Gu Yan's bowl. In order not to show favoritism, she also put a big piece of fat meat for Ye Jin.

"This piece of meat is fat and can keep you from getting hungry. I'll give it to you guys."

"I didn't do any work this morning, so I'm not hungry at all. You're the one who actually does the work, so I'll give you this big piece of fat meat as a reward."

Ye Jin put the fat into Gu Yan's bowl again. Grandma looked at their intimate actions and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"Girl, do you not like fatty meat?"

Gu Yan stuffed the meat into his mouth, chewed it in a few bites and swallowed it.

"No, who wouldn't like fatty meat when it's so delicious?" Ye Jin spoke against her conscience. When she was just reborn, she might have liked to eat fatty meat, but now that she has money, she only wants to eat lean meat and ribs.

"Would you like some?"

Gu Yan was talking about giving her some fat meat, and Ye Jin quickly hugged me in her arms and protected me tightly.

"I don't need it. You've worked hard. I'll leave all the fat in the house to you." I'll just eat lean meat, Ye Jin said silently in his heart.

Gu Yan glanced at her meaningfully, as if he could see through her thoughts.
