Xu Weiguo: You really are my sister...
"That's an exaggeration! I'm only a year older than your sister-in-law. There's a generational difference? Really..."
Xu Fang said with a look of disapproval, "Big brother, why don't you take a look at your current figure and compare it with your sister-in-law's figure?"
Xu Weiguo thought he had a pretty good physique. He looked at his strong, powerful hands, his muscular legs, and...
His abs were slightly bulging. Xu Weiguo took a deep breath and pulled in his stomach, looking at his still bulging belly, and fell silent.
So, when did he start having a belly?
He felt he had always been in great shape, and Zhang Yumei especially loved his abs.
As he thought about it, Xu Weiguo felt something was wrong. It seemed like Zhang Yumei hadn't touched his 'abs' in a long time.
Zhang Yumei: Nonsense! He used to have six-pack abs, of course she liked touching them. Now he only has one, so what's the point of touching him?
No, no, Xu Weiguo made up his mind that starting tomorrow, he must get his abs back!
By the time they got home, it was already past six in the evening. Zhang Yumei was about to ask them why they were so late.
But seeing that they were all walking back pushing their bicycles, it was obvious that their bicycles had broken down.
Seeing that they were all covered in sweat, Zhang Yumei asked, "The food is ready. Why don't you go change your clothes before you eat?"
"No need, let's eat first, and then we can take a shower."
"Okay, I'll go boil some water first. After we finish eating, we can take a shower right away."
......
Around 2 a.m.
Huang Qinqin suddenly woke up. She wasn't having a nightmare, nor did she need to go to the toilet. She just suddenly wanted to eat pickled fish.
Without any warning, it just happened so suddenly.
Huang Qinqin tried to close her eyes and fall asleep again, but she failed. She tried to stop thinking about the pickled fish, but she just couldn't stop craving it.
Thinking about the fish that Xu Weiguo and the others brought back yesterday and kept in the yard, Huang Qinqin's desire to eat pickled fish grew stronger.
Huang Qinqin comforted herself, saying that she would be able to eat at noon today, so there was no rush. She would go to sleep now and not want to eat if she fell asleep.
But she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Xu Junhui felt movement on the bed, and groggily opened his eyes to find that Huang Qinqin was awake.
He asked with concern, "Honey, what's wrong? Do you need to go to the toilet? I'll go with you."
Xu Junhui thought Huang Qinqin wanted to go to the toilet but was afraid of the dark, so he sat up and prepared to go out with her.
And I was also thinking to myself, should I buy another flashlight?
Although there is one at home, it is mostly kept in Xu Weiguo's room. Sometimes it is indeed not very convenient.
But after he sat up, he saw Huang Qinqin shake her head and say sullenly, "I don't want to go to the toilet, I want to eat sauerkraut fish..."
Seeing Huang Qinqin's unhappy expression, Xu Junhui touched her face and asked, "Do you really want to eat it? Do you want to eat it now?"
"Mmm, I really want to eat it..."
"Okay, let's get up and cook now. But I'm not very good at cooking. I'll clean the fish and prepare the sauerkraut, and you can teach me how to cook it step by step."
Xu Junhui didn't think it was a big problem; if she wanted to eat it, he would cook it. Although the timing wasn't quite right, what could he do when his wife wanted to eat it?
Huang Qinqin nodded excitedly; she had thought she wouldn't be able to eat until noon.
Xu Junhui acted immediately, going out to prepare the fish and sauerkraut. Huang Qinqin originally wanted to get up as well.
But Xu Junhui said, "Lie down a little longer, there are a lot of mosquitoes outside. I'll call you when I'm done."
There were no lights in the kitchen, so Xu Junhui lit candles first, and then went to the yard to catch fish by the moonlight.
Xu Junhui considered for a while whether to boil one or boil them all, but finally decided to boil one first. After all, he had a pretty good idea of his own cooking skills.
Xu Junhui picked the smallest fish, and after the fish was sliced and the pickled cabbage was washed, he went back to his room and called Huang Qinqin out as well.
Seeing that all the ingredients were ready, Huang Qinqin thought she could cook it herself, so she suggested, "Junhui, why don't you start the fire and I'll cook it?"
"No need, just teach me how to cook it, it shouldn't be too difficult."
"I'll practice more now so that I can make whatever you want to eat whenever you want in the future."
Huang Qinqin felt that Xu Junhui was radiating light at that moment, looking exceptionally handsome and reassuring.
Under Huang Qinqin's hands-on instruction, Xu Junhui unexpectedly cooked a sauerkraut fish dish that looked and smelled quite good. It's just a matter of time before we know how it tastes.
Xu Junhui handed the bowl and chopsticks to Huang Qinqin, watching expectantly as she picked up a piece of fish. He watched her chew it, then give a thumbs-up and praise, "Delicious!"
"Is it really delicious? I'd like to try it."
Huang Qinqin fed him a piece of fish, and Xu Junhui was surprised to find that it was surprisingly well-cooked this time.
He confidently said, "I feel like I've finally got the hang of cooking. I'll study hard and try to 'squeeze' you off the chef's seat someday, haha."
Huang Qinqin finally got to eat the pickled fish she had been longing for. She didn't even have time to chat with him, so while eating, she stretched out her left hand and gave him a thumbs up.
Zhang Yumei had just faintly heard some noises outside, but she thought it was just a rat or something and ignored it.
But then she actually smelled the aroma of pickled fish! She thought Huang Qinqin was hungry in the middle of the night and got up to cook it herself, so she got up to check on her.
Then they overheard the young couple's conversation. It turned out Xu Junhui had cooked it, so everything was fine. As long as Huang Qinqin wasn't alone, there was nothing to worry about.
Reassured, she turned and went back to her room to continue sleeping. To be fair, however, the pickled fish Xu Junhui cooked this time was surprisingly delicious.
Huang Qinqin ate to her heart's content, because Xu Junhui hadn't prepared any staple food, so she even finished the soup.
She touched her belly and felt it was protruding a little. Actually, she was only a little over two months pregnant, and she hadn't felt anything particularly unusual yet.
The things Chen Zhaodi had told her before, like not being able to eat or having morning sickness, haven't happened yet. And her belly hasn't gotten any bigger.
She'd actually gotten a bit pregnant from eating so much, since her belly was a little bigger. As she touched it, Huang Qinqin laughed.
After Xu Junhui finished washing the dishes, he noticed Huang Qinqin rubbing her stomach and laughing, but he simply assumed she had eaten the food she wanted.
So he was especially happy, which strengthened his resolve to master cooking skills.
The young couple had a great time tonight, but the dozens of families living in the two neighboring courtyards weren't so happy.
Many people were woken up by the aroma and angrily cursed, "Who's so mean?! Cooking something so delicious in the middle of the night, doesn't anyone get any sleep?!"
