Before closing the stall and going home in the morning, Jiang Yue passed by a seafood company and saw that they were selling long-spine fish. This kind of fish has few bones and the meat is delicious, so she bought a few.
Jiang Yue steamed two and braised the rest. She then made a vegetable and mushroom soup and a steamed egg with minced meat for Ningning. Lunch was ready.
Although it is not rich, that is what home cooking is like. There are meat and vegetables, which are nutritious and refreshing to eat with rice.
"I didn't know you were coming back today, so I bought less vegetables." Jiang Yue was telling the truth. Since Gu Ye was here, she would buy larger portions of vegetables because he had a big appetite and he wouldn't be full if she cooked less.
But these days, only Jiang Yue and Ningning are at home, and the two of them eat a little more than the cat, so Jiang Yue buys groceries in moderation every day, because the weather is hot and she is afraid that if she buys too much, they will not be able to keep well.
Moreover, Jiang Yue mainly considered that Ningning was young, so she must eat fresh food to be healthier.
"It doesn't matter, it's already very good!" Gu Ye would not be disgusted. He had been thinking about it for several days. Just by smelling it, he knew it must be delicious, so he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
The braised long-spine fish with chili added was for Gu Ye. Jiang Yue and Ningning ate the two steamed ones. Long-spine fish had very few bones, but when Jiang Yue picked up the fish meat and gave it to Ningning, she still checked it carefully to make sure that there would be no bones that would get Ningning stuck.
Gu Ye saw all of this.
It was sunny outside at noon, and the food was placed on the table in the main room. Three people sat on each side. Jiang Yue ate the food in her bowl in small bites. She could feel Gu Ye's eyes falling on her from time to time.
Jiang Yue muttered to herself, what does it mean to look at her like this right after coming back? Is it possible that he is still worried that she will abuse Ningning again?
But anyone with eyes can see that Ningning has become plump and white in the past few days, and her personality has become much more cheerful. If Gu Ye still thinks that she will abuse Ningning, then she is purely prejudiced against her!
Gu Ye didn't expect that the longspined fish could be cooked so deliciously. The fish meat was fresh and tasty, and even the fish soup was so delicious. Gu Ye couldn't help but add another bowl of rice and pour the fish soup directly on the rice. It was much more delicious than what was cooked in the cafeteria.
"Do you want to put some rice crust in the fish soup?" Although Jiang Yue was asking for Gu Ye's opinion, she got up and ran to the kitchen without waiting for his answer, and took out a tin box.
"I made it myself, you try it!" Jiang Yue soaked the rice crust in the fish soup, and when both sides were soaked, she put a piece into Gu Ye's bowl.
"Good!" Gu Ye took a bite. The rice crust was neither thin nor thick, fragrant and crispy. He couldn't help but pick up another piece.
The rice crust soaked in fish soup is more fragrant and delicious.
"Mom, Ningning wants to eat too!"
Jiang Yue turned her head to look at Ningning. Ningning had already eaten half of the steamed egg in her small bowl, and had almost finished the vegetables and fish. She smiled and said, "Okay, wait until Ningning finishes her meal, then you can have a slice."
After dinner, Gu Ye stood up to clean up the dishes and took them out to wash the dishes while Jiang Yue wiped the table. The two had a clear division of labor.
Ningning sat aside and crunched the rice crust. Jiang Yue picked out the thinnest piece for her, so she wasn't worried that Ningning wouldn't be able to bite it or break her teeth.
When Gu Ye came in after washing the dishes, he saw that Ning Ning was the only one there, so he asked, "Where's Mom?"
Ningning's big eyes flickered twice and she pointed at the room, "Inside."
Ningning asked again: "Dad, do you want to talk to Mom about something?"
Gu Ye was stunned. Did he look for Jiang Yue? Wasn't it just a casual question? Besides, what could possibly happen between him and Jiang Yue?
"Mom, Dad wants to talk to you about something!" Ning Ning had no idea what Gu Ye was thinking, so she jumped off the chair and ran to knock on Jiang Yue's door.
Gu Ye: “…”
Jiang Yue was just about to count the money, but when she came back she saw Gu Ye at home, so she didn't dare to take out the handful of notes she had on her. After finally finishing her meal, she hid in her room as soon as possible, and she had to count her property.
Hearing Ning Ning's words, Jiang Yue came over and opened the door. Seeing Gu Ye standing in the middle of the hall, she asked, "What's the matter?"
There was nothing wrong with Gu Ye, but he had to say something now. What should he say?
"Why don't you plant any osmanthus trees?" Gu Ye glanced at the bare yard and raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked.
"Something happened at my fellow villager's home a few days ago, and he said it would be delivered later today." Jiang Yue thought that was all Gu Ye was asking, so he answered and prepared to close the door.
"Wait!" Gu Ye took a step forward and pressed the door panel with his hand.
Jiang Yue raised her eyes and looked at Gu Ye, "Anything else?"
From Gu Ye's perspective, he could see Jiang Yue's creamy face as soon as he lowered his head. Her skin was clean and clear, with a luster as warm as jade, and her cherry pink lips were moist. Before she got close, Gu Ye smelled a faint fragrance, and he suddenly felt a restlessness in his heart.
Especially when Jiang Yue looked at him with her big black and white eyes flashing, Gu Ye felt his mouth dry and his heart getting hotter, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but roll up and down.
Jiang Yue: “???” What does it mean when Gu Ye rolls his Adam’s apple at her?
Do you want to eat her, or are you just impatient?
Jiang Yue thinks the latter is more likely!
"It's okay, I'm going to close the door!" Jiang Yue took two steps back and reached out to close the door.
But the door was held down by Gu Ye, and Jiang Yue tried hard, but the door didn't move at all.
"I'm going home for dinner tonight!" Gu Ye really couldn't think of what the matter could be, this was just making small talk.
"Oh, I see!" Jiang Yue lowered her eyes and tried to close the door again. Gu Ye still didn't let go. She looked up impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it all at once!"
"I have to go out at 4:30 tomorrow morning, get up and make breakfast for me!" Gu Ye was also annoyed when he saw Jiang Yue's impatient expression.
"What? Half past four?" Jiang Yue looked up at Gu Ye in shock, "So early! Can't you do it yourself?"
"I have other things to do and don't have time to do it myself!" Gu Ye argued.
"No! You have to go out at 4:30, so I have to get up at 4 o'clock? No, no! I can't get up!" Jiang Yue refused firmly.
"Jiang Yue, didn't you say you're different now? You're not willing to do such a small thing?" Gu Ye snorted coldly, "I didn't ask you to get up at four o'clock every morning, it's just one day!"
Jiang Yue glared at Gu Ye, but Gu Ye's words hit her sore spot, so she could only say indignantly: "How about this, I'll make dumplings or pancakes at night, and you get up in the morning to heat them up, is that okay?"
Jiang Yue felt that she had already made a concession.
"The steamed buns are not filling enough, the pancakes are too dry, and I want to eat plain noodles!" Gu Ye had a lot of requests.
Jiang Yue: "..." Gu Ye came here to irritate her! Who gets up at four in the morning to make breakfast? Isn't this obviously bullying?
"Eat whatever you want, I can't get up anyway!" Jiang Yue was so angry that she pushed hard and this time the door closed.
With a "bang", Gu Ye was locked outside the door.
The corners of Gu Ye's mouth curled up slightly. He lowered his head and saw Ning Ning looking at him. He touched his nose somewhat unnaturally.
