Chapter 3: Is it ok to call someone husband in this era?
Rong Jingchen's father was also a soldier and died in the line of duty ten years ago.
This was the first time she met her husband, and Ye Muqi couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. It turned out that soldiers were always handsome no matter what era!
Rong Jingchen: “…”
Looking at Ye Muqi who had been staring at him without even moving away, he frowned almost inaudibly.
Ye Muqi was probably being infatuated with him again, just like she was the last time she saw him.
A year has passed, and she is still the same, with no change.
"Xixi." Xia Ying walked in, stretched out her hand to pull Ye Muxi, and whispered beside her: "...Call someone."
Ye Muqi was brought back to his senses by this.
Call someone?
Although Rong Jingchen is very handsome, this is the first time she has met him. Should she just say "Hi, husband"?
This... is really hard to say.
And is it okay to call someone husband in this era?
If she called the wrong name, she would probably be arrested...
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Ye Muqi's mind in an instant, and her CPU almost burned out.
"Well, you, you guys come in... come in quickly." Ye Muqi pursed his lips and thought for a while before he uttered these words.
In order to appear normal, Ye Muqi walked forward somewhat stiffly, smiled at his mother-in-law Yin Lan beside Rong Jingchen, then saw the gift box in Rong Jingchen's hand, and as the host, he subconsciously reached out to take it.
"Give me the stuff."
Because she was a little nervous, she reached out and accidentally grabbed Rong Jingchen's hand.
Rong Jingchen: “?”
The three adults all looked over at the same time, their eyes falling on the hands of the two people touching each other.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it." Ye Muqi quickly let go of his hand.
Rong Jingchen looked at Ye Muqi with a strange expression. Did this little nymphomaniac apologize to him?
The moment his hand touched hers, Rong Jingchen subconsciously wanted to dodge away, but he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was his wife, so he held back.
Of course the most important thing is...
I'm still afraid that Ye Muqi will get depressed and jump into the river again.
Before coming, his mother gave him many warnings, saying that she had just been discharged from the hospital and he should not provoke the little girl anymore!
"These are some specialties of Beijing." Rong Jingchen spoke in a magnetic and deep voice.
"Thank you." Ye Muqi lowered his head and looked at Rong Jingchen's hand carefully this time. He deliberately avoided it before taking the specialty.
"Don't stand at the door. Come in and have some tea."
Xia Ying found it funny. He was making a fuss about going to meet someone before they met, but now that he's back, why is he acting so distant?
My daughter has matured and knows how to be reserved.
Not bad!
It would have been better if this had been done earlier, so that people wouldn't have been scared.
"Sorry to trouble my mother-in-law." Rong Jingchen lowered his head when he entered the house. When his tall body stood inside the house, he suddenly felt that the whole living room seemed much smaller.
Xia Ying made tea and greeted Rong Jingchen and his mother.
"I'm going to cook, you can have a good chat with Jingchen." Xia Ying whispered beside Ye Muqi.
After the two children got their marriage certificate, Rong Jingchen returned to the army. After not seeing each other for such a long time, I think Qiqi must have a lot to say.
Yin Lan, who was standing by, probably thought the same thing. She stood up, as if preparing to go into the kitchen with Xia Ying to make room for the two young people.
Ye Muqi took a look and stood up quickly.
She didn't want to be alone with anyone. The atmosphere was too awkward. She would rather stay in the kitchen and cook.
"Mom, let me help you cook." Ye Muqi said anxiously.
Everyone: “?”
Don’t you have any idea of your own abilities?
There was a hint of inquiry in Rong Jingchen's eyes as he looked at Ye Muqi.
He and Ye Muqi had never interacted much before, and she had always been the one-sided lover and forced him... So in his opinion, Ye Muqi was probably just a stupid, nymphomaniac beauty with an empty brain.
"You..." Xia Ying hesitated. Although Ye Muqi was indeed learning cooking in a restaurant now, she was still a little worried when she thought about how she had burned down the kitchen before.
"Come on, let me help you." Ye Muqi took Xia Ying's hand and dragged her into the kitchen.
"Okay then." Yin Lan glanced at Rong Jingchen and suddenly sat down. When she saw Ye Muqi's positive look, she guessed what Ye Muqi was planning.
This is because he has seen his son come back and is eager to show off his skills!
Well, this is at the Ye family, and she can't stop anything. As a mother-in-law, she should just sit down and drink tea.
When Xia Ying saw it, she also understood what Ye Muqi meant.
What if your own daughter brings out a pot of terrible food, wouldn't that scare people away?
"Then, help me cut the vegetables first." Xia Ying still didn't dare to let Ye Muqi cook, so she only arranged for her to help cut the vegetables.
"OK."
Ye Muqi took the vegetables, washed them, and cut them with the knife in one go. The potatoes he cut were the same size and thickness as if they were cut by a machine, and they looked pleasing to the eye.
"Huh?" Xia Ying looked at him with surprise that could not be hidden on her face. She did not expect Ye Muqi's knife skills to be so amazing.
"Not bad, not bad. It looks like you put a lot of effort into it." Xia Ying felt relieved, took off her apron, and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave the cooking to you."
"Don't worry, Mom."
After Xia Ying left the kitchen, Ye Muqi took a look at the dishes he was going to make, and then looked at the few seasonings available at home.
Although a small amount of seasoning can preserve the original flavor of food, not all original flavors are delicious, and some seasonings are indispensable.
"Fortunately, there is space..." At this moment, Ye Muqi was extremely grateful that he had awakened a space.
With a thought, Ye Muqi took out what he wanted from the space. His movements were quick and skillful. After a while, the kitchen was filled with a drool-worthy aroma.
When the people who were originally talking in the living room smelled the food, they couldn't help but look towards the kitchen again and again, and suddenly they became more looking forward to the next meal.
"Okay." Ye Muqi stopped and looked at the delicious dishes in front of him, feeling very satisfied.
Although he has a new body, his cooking skills have not declined at all. Even if it is just home cooking, the taste is definitely not inferior to that of restaurants outside.
One dish after another was placed on the table: shredded potatoes with vinegar, stir-fried pork with green peppers, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried beans, eggplant with minced meat, and finally a bowl of tomato egg soup.
The aroma was everywhere, and it was many times more fragrant than the one that had come out of the kitchen before. Moreover, the presentation of these dishes was particularly beautiful, and just looking at them made one's mouth water.
"This... was really made by Qiqi?" Even Ye Zhengfeng, the father, was shocked.
So after learning for half a year, they still haven't cooked a meal for their parents, but as soon as they come, they cook a whole table?
Ye Zhengfeng suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.
"Come, try Xixi's cooking."
Xia Ying served the food to everyone and said with a smile on her face.
"Let me try it." Yin Lan was also quite surprised that the person who almost burned her kitchen half a year ago could actually cook this table of dishes.
Yin Lan picked up a piece of eggplant.
“It’s delicious!”
The eggplant is fried very soft, with a moderate texture and an indescribable deliciousness.
Yin Lan's eyes lit up. This tasted even better than those in restaurants!
Seeing Yin Lan's praise, Xia Ying breathed a sigh of relief and quickly greeted Rong Jingchen.
"Jingchen, you should eat more too. Qiqi went to the restaurant to learn how to cook just for you!" Xia Ying couldn't help but say when she thought of Ye Muqi's efforts that Rong Jingchen didn't know about.
