These are all foods I usually like to eat.
The family was well-off, so they ate white rice every day, drank chicken soup, and even bought some cured meat to stir-fry with leftover mushrooms.
Meals are prepared around the time the man gets home from get off work.
When Lan Yu returned and smelled the aroma of the food, she looked at the kitchen with satisfaction.
This is the life he longs for: his wife prepares meals for him as soon as he returns home, so he can enjoy hot food.
"Honey, are you cold? You've had a hard time, haven't you?" Lan Yuchu was filled with happiness and gave him a hug as soon as he came back.
Lin Qiyue smelled of cooking oil, but he didn't mind at all.
"Wash your hands and eat when you get back." Lin Qiyue told him to wash his hands while looking up at him, asking for a kiss.
Lan Yuchu picked up Lin Qiyue and gave her a heavy kiss.
"Pfft~" His eyes were full of love. After letting go of Lin Qiyue, he took off his coat and went into the kitchen to wash his hands.
When they sat down to eat together, Lin Qiyue finished telling Lan Yuchu about what had happened that day.
"At this point, introducing Dayin to someone is the quickest way to solve the problem."
Lan Yuchu made the suggestion based on her own ideas.
Lin Qiyue felt that it was not good at all.
If something goes wrong, rushing to meet a man for a blind date is irresponsible.
"What's going on? There's this boy in the army who's had a crush on Da Yin for ages. He even asked Instructor Liu about it today." Lin Qiyue's eyes sparkled as she curiously asked, "Who is it?"
“You don’t know him; he’s just a deputy company commander,” Lan Yuchu said while eating seriously.
Seeing that he wasn't going to tell her his name, Lin Qiyue asked, "Then how did you know?"
"I happened to be passing by and overheard them. I learned that Liu Dequan was arrested. He probably thinks he has a chance now." Lan Yuchu hadn't been paying attention at first, but when his wife suddenly brought it up, he suddenly remembered what they had overheard when he came back earlier. "Coincidentally, Zhang Zhao is also one of Sun Dewen's men."
"That's quite a coincidence."
"Actually, it's not a coincidence. There aren't many girls in the army; it's all boys. Most of the girls in this village have boyfriends in the army! They're very strict with them to keep them from misbehaving." Everyone in the village knows exactly which family has a daughter and which of the boys in the army has her.
Lin Qiyue suddenly laughed and said, "Does Zhang Zhao think that if he makes a move too late, someone else will catch up with him?"
"Maybe." Lan Yuchu glanced at his wife and then nodded.
Lin Qiyue thought that it would be nice if Yu Dayin could find a man who was good to her.
"What kind of character does Zhang Zhao have?" Actually, you can't have a biased view of soldiers. She had heard several times during her visits here that some of them had very chaotic private lives.
As for who it was, she hadn't really bothered to find out.
While eating, Lan Yuchu said, "I'm not sure about that."
The conversation ended with a single sentence.
After dinner, Lan Yuchu washed the dishes in the kitchen as usual, then poured out the decocted Chinese medicine and brought it to Lin Qiyue.
Lin Qiyue was still fiddling with the knitting method that her sister-in-law Hailan had taught her during the day.
Lan Yuchu, who came out of the kitchen, saw how serious she was and noticed that the Chinese medicine was ready to be drunk. He whispered a reminder: "Wife, drink your medicine first."
"Oh~"
After drinking the medicine, Lin Qiyue said with a pained expression, "After drinking this medicine, I never want to drink Chinese medicine again."
It was so bitter, these things were so unpleasant, she felt like she was going to throw up all the food in her stomach if she didn't endure it.
Lan Yuchu brought her a piece of candy and comforted her, "Okay, there are still two days left. After you finish this medicine, we won't need to take any more."
Lan Yuchu touched her aggrieved yet adorable little face and couldn't resist giving her a small peck.
Lin Qiyue put the candy in her mouth, and the medicinal taste slowly dissipated.
This sweater is really hard to knit. No matter how hard Lin Qiyue tries, it gets more and more outrageous.
If all else fails, I'll knock on Sister Han's door.
"July, what's wrong?" Han Yingyu had just finished washing the dishes when she heard someone knocking on the door. When she opened the door, she saw Lin Qiyue.
"I'm knitting a sweater and I'm having some trouble figuring it out, so I came over to ask for your help. Are you busy right now?" Lin Qiyue thought that Han Yingyu should have some free time.
I haven't seen Sister Dong at home these past two days, so I had to come and find Han Yingyu.
"Come in, let me take a look."
Han Yingyu invited Lin Qiyue in and sat her on the sofa. She looked at the knitting pattern, pointed out the problems simply, and then taught her how to do it.
Having quickly cleared up the obstacles, Lin Qiyue was able to continue weaving.
Seeing that she was also eating a sweater, Han Yingyu took out her own pom-poms and knitted one together.
"By the way, Sister Han! I haven't seen Sister Dong at home lately," Lin Qiyue asked curiously while knitting a sweater.
"Sister Dong and Brother Zhu went back to their hometown. They said their elderly mother passed away and they took a two-week leave to go back," Han Yuying replied truthfully while knitting a sweater. Then she sighed, "When Sister Dong first married into the family, Brother Zhu's mother often teased her about not being able to have children. It was only after Brother Zhu found out that she couldn't have children that she went back to her hometown. She passed away in less than two years."
Lin Qiyue has heard some gossip again.
It turns out that even someone as outstanding as Sister Dong has a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship.
"Why did he suddenly die?" Lin Qiyue asked again.
Han Yuying said helplessly, "Who knows! I heard that Brother Zhu's younger brother, the second son's wife, is a shrew. She's been living off the money Brother Zhu sends back to the old folks all these years, and she's not treating them well."
