066: Endless water and electricity

Seeing Yu Xiaoye standing there in a daze, Jia Song said:

"What are you standing there for? Take it!"

Yu Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.

Between taking it or not, Yu Xiaoye made a decision.

She first put down the lunch box in her hand, and then took the steamed cake given by Jia Song, but she did not really accept the whole piece of steamed cake.

She broke the steamed cake into two halves, kept one half for herself, and returned the other half to the young man, saying to him:

"Just let me lend it to you. I'll return it to you next time."

After saying that, Yu Xiaoye picked up the lunch box again and walked away staggeringly.

No one was offended——

He neither rejected Jia Song's kindness nor expressed his own attitude.

Jia Song waited until Yu Xiaoye walked away, then he laughed again.

The educated youth with glasses stared at the remaining half of his cornmeal steamed cake in a daze: So, who owns this half steamed cake that was borrowed?

I lost half a steamed cake today, a whole half!

————

Yu Xiaoye walked home with the lunch box, closed the fence gate in the yard, entered the main room, and returned to the space yacht.

As soon as I returned to the deck of the yacht, I smelled the aroma of grilled fish.

Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying were happily barbecuing on the deck. Looking at his parents' leisurely appearance, Yu Xiaoye felt like their family was on vacation.

Although I am exhausted from working during the day, it is still nice to be able to relax and have fun on the space yacht at night.

She carried her lunch box and walked into the brightly lit cockpit:

"Dad, Mom, we have rice porridge tonight, come over and have some!"

When Yu Jiahui heard about the rice porridge, he was surprised.

"There's actually rice porridge. By the way, how long has it been since we last had rice?"

Xu Ying stood aside and responded casually:

"I haven't eaten white rice since I came here. Before me, I hadn't eaten this kind of fine grain for about half a year. The last time I had white rice porridge in my hometown, I only put a handful of rice in a large pot of water. The rice soup was cleaner than the water used to wash the pot."

"Then you go and eat first, leave this to me." Yu Jiahui urged his wife to drink the white rice porridge.

Xu Ying picked up a plate of grilled fish and said:

"Let Ono eat first."

Xu Ying brought a plate of grilled fish into the cockpit.

There was a bar in the cockpit, and they sat at the bar to eat.

Yu Xiaoye was still the same as in the past few days. He was hungry before mealtime every day. When he saw the grilled fish his mother brought in, he didn't even bother to wash his hands and grabbed a piece to eat.

Take a bite, it’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tastes delicious.

fragrant!

And there are no broken bones, just big mouthfuls of fish meat, which is very satisfying to eat!

Yu Xiaoye has been eating fish continuously these days and is a little tired of it. Sashimi, stewed fish, fish head soup, no matter how good the food is, you will get tired of it if you eat it continuously.

Grilled fish is a great way to change up your taste.

I ate two large pieces of grilled fish in a row before drinking porridge.

The white rice porridge was also exceptionally thick and delicious, very different from the rice they eat in the 21st century.

I don’t know if it was because I was hungry or if the rice in Northeast China is really delicious.

After stuffing his stomach and finishing his meal, Yu Jiahui and Xu Yingcai came in with a large plate of remaining grilled fish.

There was a large plate full of grilled fish, weighing about three or four pounds, all of which were grilled until golden brown and juicy, and smelled delicious.

A big fish head was also grilled, which looked particularly tempting.

Yu Jiahui came in and saw his daughter eating with her mouth full of oil, and was very happy:

"Come on, Xiaoye, eat more and gain some weight!"

Yu Xiaoye opened his mouth and said:

"Mom and Dad, I feel like I've gained some weight. I walk more heavily than before."

Xu Ying carefully observed her daughter's face and said with relief:

"Don't say it, our Jiabao's complexion is indeed much better than when he first came. Come on, continue eating!"

The couple noticed that their daughter's body was quietly changing, and they felt as happy as if they had finally fattened up the pigs at home.

Xu Ying took a cornmeal steamed cake, took a bite, and shuddered:

"What's this? Why is it so sour?"

Yu Xiaoye quickly said:

"No, don't waste it. If you don't like it, save it and eat it later when you want to. This is cornmeal steamed cake. There is still a piece and a half in here that was given to me by someone."

After Yu Jiahui sat down, he said:

"If you don't like it, save it for me. You two can have the rice porridge and grilled fish."

Yu Jiahui snatched the steamed cake from Xu Ying's hand, wondering how bad could cornmeal steamed cake be?

I took a bite and shuddered.

Finally, he swallowed it with gritted teeth and put the steamed cake down:

"Forget it, I'll save it for when I have nothing to eat-----"

Yu Jiahui had no choice but to say that the cornmeal steamed cake tasted just like the expired steamed buns found in the trash can.

Seeing that the cornmeal steamed cake was indeed as unpopular as described in the original book, Yu Xiaoye said:

"Next time I see this cornmeal steamed cake, I won't take it. I'll discuss with the chef and get an extra bowl of rice or vegetable soup."

Yu Jiahui picked up a piece of grilled fish head and placed it on the plate in front of him, saying:

"If you ask me, we should get a pot as soon as possible and cook our own meals at home. Don't buy food from the cafeteria. The food there isn't very good."

Xu Yingdao:

"We did bring a large iron pot and a small iron pot from our hometown. They are both with your two sons. It's not easy to get another pot."

Yu Xiaoye said:

"Then I'll go out and ask around someday to see where I can get a big iron pot."

The family discussed plans for tomorrow while eating.

It feels like there are endless things to do and work to do every day, and I’m busy as soon as I open my eyes.

Moreover, Yu Xiaoye has to be busy preparing another show for Jia Song.

As for what this program is,

She hasn't thought about it yet.

After dinner, the family went to take a bath.

Yu Jiahui's broken arm had not healed yet, so it was inconvenient for him to wash alone, and Xu Ying had to help him in the bathroom.

While washing, Yu Jiahui suddenly looked at the water and asked worriedly:

"By the way, you said the fresh water and electricity on this yacht will run out sooner or later, right? What will we do when they run out?"

"Oh, why didn't I think of this question? I'll go ask my daughter!"

Xu Ying ran away, and after a while, he ran back again, looking relaxed and saying:

"Jiabao said that if it was going to run out, it would have been used up long ago. So she believes that the fresh water and electricity on the yacht should never run out!"

"Fuck, so arrogant!"

Then he can take a shower and barbecue without worry!

Never worry about no water or electricity.

And you don’t have to pay for water and electricity for your entire life, which is simply too great!

But even so, I dare not waste it. What if there is a fixed amount? It is better to save it.

We must know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

When Yu Jiahui came out of the shower, Xu Ying took a towel and wiped his body dry.

When Xu Ying was giving him a bath yesterday, he was very embarrassed and hesitant, feeling as if he was being taken advantage of by a strange woman. He had no memories of the original owner and felt unfamiliar with his wife.

However, after spending last night together and adjusting to each other, they finally broke through the inner barriers and became an old married couple again.

Xu Ying helped Yu Jiahui put on a bathrobe and then rummaged through the cabinets.

Yu Jiahui asked her what she was looking for.
