The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the window into the cozy living room, adding a touch of warm color to this small space.
Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen returned from a walk in the park, feeling particularly happy.
As soon as they entered the house, they smiled at each other and decided tacitly to cook dinner together.
Shen Qingchen walked to the kitchen cabinet, opened the cabinet door, took out a kitchen knife and a cutting board, and prepared to cut vegetables.
He stood in front of the kitchen counter, looking at the fresh ingredients, his heart full of anticipation for the upcoming dinner.
However, his technique of cutting vegetables was indeed a little clumsy, and he seemed to be quite cautious with every cut.
He picked up a carrot and tried to cut it into even slices, but the carrot seemed a little disobedient in his hands, and the slices were sometimes thick and sometimes thin.
He frowned, a little annoyed at his own lack of skill, but his eyes showed a seriousness.
Jiang Zhi stood in front of the stove and tied a cute apron.
She turned on the stove and blue flames popped out.
She first poured some oil into the pot, and when the oil was slightly smoking, she put the chopped onions, ginger and garlic into the pot.
With a crackling sound, the aroma of onion, ginger and garlic spread instantly.
Jiang Zhi skillfully stir-fried the food, her movements light and confident. She began preparing the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that they all loved.
She picked up a tomato, made a cross on the top of the tomato with a knife, then put the tomato into boiling water for a while and easily peeled off the skin.
Then she cut the tomatoes into small pieces and put them into the pan and continued to stir-fry.
At this time, Shen Qingchen also made progress. He cut a bunch of vegetables of different shapes. Although it was not very beautiful, it was considered a completed task.
He brought the cut vegetables to Jiang Zhi and smiled a little embarrassedly.
Jiang Zhi looked at the crookedly cut vegetables and couldn't help laughing.
She jokingly said, "Honey, your vegetable chopping skills still have a lot of room for improvement."
Shen Qingchen scratched his head and replied: "I am studying hard, and I will definitely get better at cutting in the future."
Jiang Zhi put the vegetables cut by Shen Qingchen into the pot one by one, added various seasonings, and continued to stir-fry.
After a while, the room was filled with the aroma of food.
The aroma seemed to have magic, filling the entire house and making people salivate.
While waiting for the food to be cooked, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen were not idle either. They started to choose tableware in a small corner of the kitchen.
Jiang Zhi picked up two sets of exquisite bowls and chopsticks and wiped them carefully, while Shen Qingchen was choosing a suitable plate on the side.
While choosing, they were also discussing with each other which set of tableware was more suitable for tonight's dinner.
Finally, the food was ready.
Jiang Zhi brought the steaming hot dishes to the table, including colorful and fragrant scrambled eggs with tomatoes, green vegetables and stir-fried mushrooms, and a hodgepodge of Shen Qingchen's "results" of cutting vegetables.
They sat at the dining table, looking at each other face to face, their eyes full of happiness.
Shen Qingchen spoke first: "It was really interesting to see those children flying kites in the park today. I suddenly imagined the scene of us taking our own children to play in the park in the future."
Jiang Zhi blushed and said with a smile, "Yes, that must be wonderful. But we are also very happy in our world of two now."
They began to share their day's interesting stories with each other. Shen Qingchen talked about some interesting colleagues he met in the company. Those colleagues always made some harmless jokes during work breaks, making the atmosphere of the whole office relaxed and cheerful.
Jiang Zhi shared a photo of a particularly cute kitten she saw while shopping. The kitten was furry and had big, round eyes. It had been playing in the window of a pet shop on the street, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
As they shared their funny stories, they laughed heartily from time to time, and the laughter echoed in the room like the most beautiful music in the world.
After the meal, they did not leave the table in a hurry, but continued to sit there and enjoy the warm atmosphere.
Shen Qingchen suddenly remembered something, and he said to Jiang Zhi: "Do you know? Today on my way back, I saw a newly opened flower shop. The flowers inside were particularly beautiful. I thought at the time that I must find a chance to take you to see it."
Jiang Zhi's eyes lit up, and she said, "Really? Then we must go next time. I really like flowers, and I feel that flowers can bring people a good mood."
After a while, they got up and started to clean up the dishes.
Shen Qingchen took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes. He carefully took the dishes to the sink, turned on the faucet, and the water flowed out.
He squeezed some detergent onto the dishcloth and began to carefully wash each bowl and each pair of chopsticks.
Jiang Zhize helped to wipe them dry. She took a clean towel and carefully wiped the water stains on the bowls and chopsticks, then put them neatly into the cupboard.
After clearing the dishes, they sat together on the sofa in the living room.
Shen Qingchen turned on the TV and switched channels casually. They saw a travel program that was introducing beautiful scenery around the world.
Jiang Zhi leaned on Shen Qingchen's shoulder, her eyes fixed on the TV screen. She whispered, "The world is so big, there are still many places we haven't visited yet."
Shen Qingchen put his arm around her shoulders and replied, “Yes, we must go to more places and see more beautiful scenery in the future.”
In this warm home, they enjoy ordinary yet beautiful times.
There is no noise or troubles from the outside world, only each other's company and love.
This feeling is like a warm current flowing through their hearts, making them deeply intoxicated.
They know that although this kind of life is dull, it is the happiness they have always dreamed of.
Dear readers, I hope you can feel the deep love and family warmth between Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen in this chapter.
