Chapter 54 Delivering Midnight Snacks



After stopping and starting on the platform all day, we finally arrived in Pingcheng around 10 p.m.

After a long day of travel, when they arrived at the compound, Haider looked at her daughter, who was heading in a different direction, and felt a little reluctant to part with her!

"You'll see her tomorrow. You've had a long day, go back and rest." Duan Hongguo knew that Haideer didn't want to be separated from her daughter for even a moment, so he quickly comforted her.

Knowing that his wife was reluctant to be separated from their daughter, he coaxed her all night before she agreed to come back to Pingcheng with him.

It was already eleven o'clock when I got home.

Qian Xiuying knew her son and daughter-in-law were coming back today, so she prepared a late-night snack accordingly.

"Mom~ I'm back?" Lin Qiyue had just stepped into the door when she smelled the aroma of her mother-in-law making a late-night snack.

Upon hearing Lin Qiyue's voice, Qian Xiuying excitedly put down the spatula she was holding and went to the door to greet her.

"July is back, are you tired?" Qian Xiuying held Lin Qiyue's hand and asked her with concern.

Finally, she glanced at her son, her hands holding her luggage.

"Look at our July, she's lost weight after going back home!" Qian Xiuying touched Lin Qiyue's face. Actually, she had gained a little weight, but she said that because she felt sorry for Lin Qiyue.

Lan Yuchu was helpless!

That he's thinner there is clearly nonsense.

"Come in quickly, Mom made you scallion oil noodles, they're so delicious! She also bought some meat and made some meat sauce, it's the best for mixing with noodles!"

Thinking about their return, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat after get off work, which cost a lot of money.

Pulling Lin Qilin inside, he called out to Lan Yusui's room, "Yusui! Your brother and sister-in-law are back, you can come out and eat noodles now!"

Qian Xiuying was so disappointed. Lan Yusui was wearing a dress, which was a nightgown that Lin Qiyue had made for her. It was not see-through and met the aesthetic standards that were acceptable at the time. It was made of very comfortable fabric.

She came out of the room, her hair disheveled, and muttered, "Mom heard you were coming back, so she made soup after dinner and cooked so much delicious food, but she wouldn't let me eat it. She insisted on waiting for you to come back before letting me eat."

He glanced at his mother.

She became even angrier for no reason and continued to complain, "I wonder who's the real child, hmph~"

"Stop complaining, wash your hands and eat." Qian Xiuying ignored him and went straight into the kitchen to get busy.

Lan Yusui was indignant and made a face at her mother's back, which almost made her furious.

Lin Qiyue followed her directly into the kitchen, where a pot of delicious food was simmering.

"Mom, what are you making? It smells so good!" This doesn't smell like scallions at all; it's clearly the smell of soup with some medicinal herbs added.

Qian Xiuying picked up a bowl, swirled a spoon in the pot, and turned to Lin Qiyue with a smile, saying, "This is chicken soup made from an old hen. Your neighbor Aunt Lin's son brought us a pigeon from who-knows-where. It's good for you to nourish yourself. A few days ago, your aunt brought over some herbs to replenish your qi and blood, and I added a little bit of that."

"Mom~ medicine is three parts poison, why do you always do it like this?" Lan Yusui was picking up noodles from a pot on the side, which were already cooked and cooled with cold water.

I really don't understand why my mother is doing this.

"What do you know? These are just some herbs to replenish qi and blood. As long as you put in a small amount, it won't matter. If you're so capable, then don't drink it!"

Looking at her daughter, who always contradicted her, made her happier.

"Mom!" Lin Qiyue immediately reassured Qian Xiuying, then looked at Lan Yusui and said, "Mom just wants us to eat and drink something good!"

Lan Yusui said stubbornly, "She made that for you. If you hadn't come back, I wouldn't have had this chance!"

"Look at you, you're all round and plump. You won't die if you drink less!" Recently, Qian Xiuying felt more and more indebted to Lin Qiyue, and she tried her best to help Lin Qiyue improve her health.

Moreover, when I give birth in the future, I can't be so thin; I'll have to eat big bones.

Lin Qiyue looked at the soup and it did smell quite fragrant. People like to use medicinal herbs to make soup, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Lan Yusui's expression changed repeatedly as she was scolded by her mother.

But she still served Lin Qiyue and her second brother a bowl of scallion oil noodles each, and added a large bowl of meat sauce to each person's bowl.

Qian Xiuying ladled large bowls of soup for each of them and brought them to the living room for them to drink.

"Be careful with the soup, drink it slowly!" she reminded them as they left.

Lin Qiyue came back from washing her hands and saw Qian Xiuying still busy in the middle of the night. She said to her, "Mom, sit down and eat first. Don't bother. Yu Chu will come and clean up after the New Year."

She hasn't had a moment's rest since they returned.

"No need, Mom will take some over to your dad's place. He probably hasn't eaten since you came back." Lan Yuchu told her everything that had happened, including that Lin Qiyue was Duan Hongguo's biological daughter and that she had found her biological mother, who had also come back with her.

Thinking that everyone was a neighbor, she cooked more soup.

"Yu Chu, come with me. You get the soup, and I'll get the noodles and meat sauce." Qian Xiuying saw Lan Yu Chu coming out of the room and immediately called him to the kitchen to help.

Lan Yuchu didn't say anything, but obediently went to the kitchen and carried a small pot of soup.

"Mom, shall I go with Yu Chu?" Lin Qiyue came out of the living room and reached out to take it.

She felt a little embarrassed; those were her parents, and her mother-in-law was helping to take care of them.

Qian Xiuying refused and said to Lin Qiyue, "It'll only be a little while. Mom and Yu Chu will be back soon! You've had a long day, so go take a shower and get some rest, okay?"
