When Lan Yu first saw Lin Qiyue, he was quite cheerful, but when the topic turned to finding a younger man, he immediately became unhappy.
"When I get old, I won't look as good as I do now. Will you dislike me then?"
"You think you're so great? Then I'll just dump you and go find a nice guy." Lin Qiyue joked, picking up where Lan Yuchu left off.
Lan Yuchu grabbed Lin Qiyue's neck and gritted her teeth, saying, "You dare!"
Lin Qiyue saw the fierce expression on his face.
She immediately put on a wronged look.
"You're being mean to me!"
Lan Yuchu couldn't be fierce anymore. "Wife, I was wrong. I apologize."
Lin Qiyue smiled triumphantly and said, "Honey, I want to eat pig's trotters and drink soup."
"Okay, I'll get up and go buy it for you right away. You need to stay home and stay still, don't move around too much, or your wound will reopen and bleed." Lan Yuchu got up and put on her coat.
Lin Qiyue was depressed!
Lan Yuchu opened the bedroom door, then, as if remembering something, turned around, walked to the bedside, bent down, and kissed Lin Qiyue's forehead.
Her gloomy expression disappeared, replaced by a happy one.
"Sweetie, you know that!"
"Okay, I understand. I will obey the mission without hesitation." Lin Qiyue gave a slightly off-standard salute and said with a serious expression.
Lan Yuchu chuckled helplessly.
Before leaving, Lan Yuchu glanced at her with concern.
The door slammed shut, and Lin Qiyue, feeling her body clinging to the bed, lay down and continued sleeping.
Lan Yuchu went out excitedly to buy ingredients and came back to cook for his wife.
"Sister-in-law, are you going out?" Lan Yuchu returned from outside, carrying groceries. Seeing Dong Qingqing about to leave, she noticed Xiao Tiao'er beside her. "This is..."
Dong Qingqing is a teacher, and today is Tuesday, yet she didn't go to work.
"Xiao Tiao is much better. She doesn't have many winter clothes, so today your Brother Zhou and I will take her into town to buy some nice clothes."
Lan Yuchu seemed to understand what Dong Qingqing was saying; it was as if she wanted to adopt Xiao Tiao'er.
Xiao Tiao'er had an accident last night, and the couple was very worried.
"Then I won't disturb you." Lan Yuchu didn't ask any more questions, and after saying a few simple words, she was about to go upstairs.
Dong Qingqing lowered her head and said to Xiao Tiao'er, "Xin Xin, say goodbye to Uncle Lan."
"Goodbye, Uncle Lan." Zhou Jianxin waved to Lan Yuchu. This uncle was someone her mother used to like, and also the person who saved her yesterday.
Lan Yuchu looked at Jian Xin with some surprise, then asked, "Is this the official adoption of Xiao Tiao'er?"
"Yes, I went to complete the adoption procedures today and gave the child a new name, Jian Xin." Dong Qingqing didn't hide anything and explained frankly.
Lan Yuchu glanced at the child and said, "It's a good thing."
"Yes, I'll treat everyone to dinner another day. I'll head out now."
Lan Yuchu nodded and gave a faint "hmm" in response, then went straight upstairs.
Dong Qingqing was terrified when she learned last night that Xiao Tiao'er was missing.
After being rescued, she and her husband discussed with the political commissar about adopting the child so that she could look after him every day.
"Xinxin, let's go find Daddy and go to the city to eat something delicious, okay?" Dong Qingqing slowly learned to soften her tone.
Chen Yaqin didn't have much affection for this daughter. She had conceived the child by drugging her husband, and because she was a daughter, she had always treated her badly.
Now that she has committed a crime and is going to jail for several years, she may not be willing to raise the child when she gets out.
So, for the sake of their comrade-in-arms and to make their home more lively, they adopted the child.
When Lan Yuchu returned from grocery shopping, he saw that Lin Qiyue hadn't gotten up yet. He peeked inside and saw that his wife seemed to be asleep.
I closed the bedroom door and went back to the kitchen to start making lunch.
Since Lan Yuchu brought his wife to this place, whenever he is home, he takes care of all the basic housework by himself.
With Lin Qiyue's encouragement, his cooking skills improved more and more.
He's especially good at stewing pig's trotters.
At first, his wife tricked him into saying that his cooking was delicious. Even after she found out, he still willingly cooked for her.
Ideally, you should fatten up your wife; that would be best.
Unfortunately, his wife only eats a little bit each time, and he eats the rest.
While cooking, Lan Yuchu's mind was filled with images of his wife praising him after seeing the food.
He wanted to cook all sorts of elaborate meals for his wife; life with meat at every meal was wonderful.
An hour later, Lin Qiyue could smell the aroma of meat in her bedroom; she recognized the smell.
It's pork ribs stewed with sauerkraut, a northern Chinese dish, and also her favorite northern Chinese dish.
She got out of bed, wanting to go out, but found that her hands were too weak to put on clothes or open the door.
Sigh in frustration!
Perhaps sensing Lin Qiyue's presence, Lan Yuchu inexplicably came out of the kitchen and opened the bedroom door, just in time to see Lin Qiyue deep in thought.
"Wife, get up, it's almost time to eat," Lan Yuchu's gentle voice came.
Lin Qiyue immediately asked for a hug.
When Lan Yuchu came in, she found a piece of clothing for her to wear from the closet and a pair of winter cotton pants for her to put on.
"Today I'm making braised pig's trotters for my wife, and then pork ribs stewed with sauerkraut," Lan Yuchu said, reciting the menu as she dressed her.
Lin Qiyue's stomach was acting up and started growling.
"Honey, you are such a wonderful man, such a compliment!" Lin Qiyue always praised Lan Yuchu like this, and importantly, he loved hearing it.
Lan Yuchu got dressed, bent down and carried his little wife into the bathroom, squeezed toothpaste onto the toothbrush, picked up the water cup, filled it with water and fed it to her mouth to brush her teeth.
After washing up, she was told to sit down, and Lan Yuchu began to put the food from the pot into bowls and take it out of the pot.
Looking at the sumptuous meal, Lin Qiyue began to swallow her saliva, mainly because she was really hungry.
His eyes were fixed on the food without pausing for a moment.
"I'll feed my wife." Lan Yuchu ladled out a bowl of rice, first putting a piece of rib into Lin Qiyue's mouth, then a piece of pork trotter, which was stewed until tender and boneless.
It's soft and chewy, and tastes delicious when you put it in your mouth.
Lan Yuchu's eyes were full of love. As long as Lin Qiyue was happy eating, he was also very happy.
Lin Qiyue, who had almost finished eating, was unwilling to open her mouth. Lan Yuchu fed her a bite and gently asked, "Want one more bite?"
"No, my stomach can't hold it all."
Seeing this, Lan Yu stopped forcing Lin Qiyue to eat and ate the rest herself.
“When I came back from grocery shopping today, I ran into Sister-in-law Zhou. She and Brother Zhou took Xiao Tiao’er to the city.” Lan Yuchu shared the day’s events with his wife while eating. “They adopted Xiao Tiao’er and named him Jian Xin.”
Lin Qiyue was surprised!
She stared at Lan Yuchu for several seconds without reacting. After regaining her composure, she said, "That's good too. Sister Dong is a teacher, she'll definitely be able to teach the child well."
Lately, she hasn't said a word whenever she sees Xiao Tiao'er.
My sister-in-law in the family compound said that her classmates at school all said she was an unwanted bastard.
