Lin Xiangyi was not afraid of him and continued to wash the vegetables.
Xie Qingxiao stared at the back of her head for half a minute, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
He bought two pig's trotters this morning. Lin Xiangyi estimated that she couldn't cut them, so she didn't touch the trotters, but she soaked soybeans and put them next to them.
This means I’m going to make pig’s trotters stewed with soybeans tonight.
This dish has been eaten frequently at home recently, and Xie Qingxiao has already learned how to make it.
He used fire to burn off the fine hairs left on it, then cut it into pieces, washed it, blanched it with onion, ginger and garlic, then added rock sugar and fried it to make it brown, then added water and spices to stew it, and finally added soybeans...
During this time, Lin Xiangyi came in after washing the vegetables. Seeing Xie Qingxiao busying around, she sat down in front of the stove and helped light the fire.
Xie Qingxiao glanced at her and didn't let her go. The meal was completed with the awkward yet tacit cooperation between the two.
After they finished cooking, Xie's father and mother also came back.
Several people were eating around the table, and Xie's father and mother were discussing matters in the fields.
The crops in the fields have been almost harvested, and it’s time to prepare to pay the two helpers we hired.
"Chen Er and his wife are very hardworking. We didn't misjudge them at the beginning," said Xie's mother. The two people she mentioned were the helpers they hired to collect grain. Both of them were honest and worked diligently. Xie's father and mother were very satisfied.
They also discussed giving him two dollars more on top of the original salary.
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyi said, "Mom and Dad, if these two people are really reliable, can we invite them to come home to help make the stewed food?"
Their braised food business is booming during this period, with more and more people coming to them to sell their goods.
Unfortunately, there are not enough people, and the Xie family’s kitchen is too small to supply so many braised dishes.
Fortunately, the workshop is about to be completed, and then we will be able to supply more braised food.
"Okay, people who have used it before can use it without worry," Xie's mother said with a smile, "I'll talk to them tomorrow."
"Okay," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.
"How long will it take to build the workshop?" Xie's mother asked Xie Qingxiao.
The workshop is currently under the charge of Xie Qingxiao.
"About ten days," Xie Qingxiao said. She accidentally saw Lin Xiangyi pick up a piece of pig's trotter. She didn't pay attention to whether it was fat or thin. Only after putting it in her mouth did she realize that the trotter was very fat.
In front of Xie's father and mother, she felt embarrassed to throw it away, so she ate the lean part first, put the remaining fat in the bowl, and picked up other dishes to eat.
Xie Qingxiao reached directly into Lin Xiangyi's bowl with his chopsticks and took away the piece of fat that she had placed next to it.
Lin Xiangyi wanted to stop her. She had just put the piece of fat in her mouth. Although she didn't chew it, it was covered with her saliva.
But before she could stop him, she saw Xie Qingxiao put it directly into his mouth. He didn't show any disdain for her at all.
Lin Xiangyi: “…” This wasn’t the first time Xie Qingxiao had eaten something she had eaten, but this time they were having a quarrel and he still did this… She felt a little soft-hearted.
Forget it, isn't it the case that a couple should understand and tolerate each other? Why should she bother with him? If he cares so much about how she and Lin Shan fell out, then she should just explain it to him.
After dinner, Xie Qingxiao went back to the workshop to work. Lin Xiangyi chatted with Xie's father and mother for a while, then went back to the room, leaning on the bed to check the bills for the past few days.
Xie Qingxiao came back at about nine o'clock. He took his clothes and went out to take a shower. He was very quick and came back ten minutes later.
Lin Xiangyi looked up at him. He was only wearing a pair of dark blue shorts. He had a lean and smooth figure, firm and tight abdominal muscles, and his short hair was half-dried. He looked handsome and refreshed.
She met Xie Qingxiao's eyes.
She did it on purpose.
Before, whenever Lin Xiangyi met Xie Qingxiao's eyes while lying on the bed, Xie Qingxiao would automatically assume that she was seeking sex, and he would pounce on her directly.
Lin Xiangyi deliberately softened her gaze this time, as a gesture of goodwill.
As a result, Xie Qingxiao glanced at her and turned away as if nothing had happened.
Lin Xiangyi: “…” Well, it’s quite difficult to coax her.
She didn't give up. She followed Xie Qingxiao wherever he went. She watched Xie Qingxiao dry his hair, put on a vest, and roughly apply the Ya cream she bought on his face.
He goes out in the wind and rain every day, so his skin inevitably becomes rough. Lin Xiangyi asks him to apply some of her skin care products every day to maintain his skin. After all, he is her man, and she will feel proud if he looks good and she takes him out.
"Are you going to sleep?" After applying makeup on his face, Xie Qingxiao looked at Lin Xiangyi.
Lin Xiangyi put away the bill and nodded, "Go to sleep."
Xie Qingxiao turned off the lights, got on the bed, and lay down with his back to Lin Xiangyi.
Lin Xiangyi waited for a long while, but when he didn't turn around, she stretched out her index finger and poked his back, which was very provocative.
"What's wrong?" Xie Qingxiao tilted his head slightly.
"You just fell asleep?" Lin Xiangyi asked.
Xie Qingxiao hummed.
Since Lin Xiangyi married Xie Qingxiao, she had never been treated so coldly by him. She leaned over and said in a tender voice, "Xie Qingxiao, have you forgotten something?"
Xie Qingxiao didn't understand.
"Today is exactly three months," Lin Xiangyi whispered into his ear, full of hints.
Xie Qingxiao: “…” Yes, today is the third month of her pregnancy. He was very excited and looking forward to it yesterday.
It was just that she had morning sickness this morning, and then she talked to him about some private space, and he got upset and put the matter out of his mind.
After Lin Xiangyi finished speaking, she waited for Xie Qingxiao's reaction. Seeing that he was still unmoved, she secretly gritted her teeth, lowered her head and pecked his ear, then his cheek, and then searched for his lips——
"You're not feeling well today, so you should rest for a few more days," Xie Qingxiao raised his hand to cover her lips, stopping her from continuing... God knows how strong his willpower was to say this.
"..." Lin Xiangyi finally got annoyed and pulled his hand away: "Okay, just rest until I give birth, and don't bother me in the future."
After saying that, she sat up with her hands on Xie Qingxiao's shoulders. Xie Qingxiao was afraid that her hand would slip, so he supported her hand, but she pushed it away again.
She moved to the innermost part of the bed with great movement, and the wooden bed shook a few times with her movement.
Xie Qingxiao went to see her back.
He rejected her, not because he was angry or anything, but because he really felt that she had just had morning sickness today and was not suitable for that.
Even if there hadn't been a quarrel, he wouldn't have wanted her tonight.
But when the two things collided, it seemed that he was throwing a tantrum.
This was not what Xie Qingxiao wanted. It was his turn to move over and put his arm around Lin Xiangyi's shoulders: "Lin Xiangyi..."
"Don't touch me!" Lin Xiangyi pushed him away.
"..." Xie Qingxiao's patience was low today. Seeing this, he frowned, forcefully pulled her hand over, and pressed it on a certain spot.
Lin Xiangyi shrank back from the heat.
Xie Qingxiao did not allow her to leave, and said sternly: "Do you feel it? I want it more than you do! But I do think you are not in good health today, but if you really want it, I can satisfy you. Anyway, I-"
