Listening to Lin Qingfeng's roar, Liu Mei felt that she was much inferior to him and felt extremely guilty.
"Then...we are Yan Bai's biological parents, and Wanwan is her biological sister. No matter how deep the hatred is, can she report us?" Liu Mei muttered softly, but she held Lin Wan tightly in her hands and refused to give in.
Looking at the mother and daughter in front of him, he felt a little discouraged. His old wife and darling daughter now made him feel like he had something stuck in his throat, and he didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, he loosened the belt in his hand and turned back to the house. Lin Chen looked at his father's back. His father, who used to be strong and upright in his eyes, was now hunched over. In just one day, it seemed as if his hair had turned white with worry!
"Mom, Wanwan, you really did something wrong this time!"
After saying that, without even glancing at them, Lin Chen followed his father into the room.
Liu Mei was a little stunned and a little scared. The look her husband gave her when he turned around just now made her feel both uneasy and nervous.
"Wanwan, did you see the look in your father's eyes just now? What did your father mean?"
"Oh, Mom, what are you afraid of? My dad must be a little angry, but he'll be fine after a while. He's already so old, how can he divorce you?"
After hearing Lin Wan's words, Liu Mei agreed with her deeply. Lin Wan was right. Lin Qingfeng couldn't afford to lose face like that!
There was a commotion at the Lin family, but the Gu family was relaxed. After knowing how Gu Xingfan had vented his anger on her, Lin Yanbai was so satisfied that she even asked Xiaoqi to replay the scene in her mind on a loop, especially Lin Wan's frustrated, speechless and tearful expression. Every frame was worth collecting.
As expected, it was Xiao Qi who always fought on the front lines of eating melons. Lin Yanbai became happier and happier as she watched. On the way back, the couple happily went to the supply and marketing cooperative, planning to have something delicious to celebrate.
Unfortunately, there wasn't anything good in the supply and marketing cooperative today, not even pork. Originally, this wasn't a problem, as Lin Yanbai had plenty of food in his space, including chicken, fish, beef, and seafood. However, it was difficult to get it out...
As if sensing her embarrassment, Xiao Qi sympathetically advised, "Host, have you ever considered telling the truth? Although it's a bit risky, you can take things out openly from now on!"
Lin Yanbai was indeed a little moved, but... now was not the right time.
After weighing some White Rabbit meat, the two of them headed home. Lin Yanbai was worried because there was no meat left at home. It was a lean period these days, so she could only secretly take some out.
Perhaps he sensed his wife's distress, so he turned the handlebars of his bicycle and turned into an alley on the side. Then he twisted and turned through several alleys and finally stopped at his destination.
After parking the bicycle under a tree on the street, Gu Xingfan instructed: "Watch the bicycle here and wait for me. Don't wander around. I'll be back soon!"
Without waiting for Lin Yanbai to ask him where he was going, Gu Xingfan turned around and, relying on his long legs, quickly crossed the road and entered an alley that looked very ordinary.
Why do you say it's ordinary? Because it's just a perfectly normal alley, but why do you say it looks like that? Lin Yan noticed someone guarding the alley entrance. The person seemed absent-minded, leaning against the wall, but in fact, his eyes were constantly looking up and down at the passers-by!
According to Lin Yanbai's guess, this ordinary alley is most likely a black market. Seeing that guy not being on guard against Gu Xingfan at all, he is obviously a regular customer!
Sure enough, Gu Xingfan came out after a while. He had empty hands when he went in, but when he came out, he was holding a big basket in his hands. No need to guess, it must be full of harvest!
"I was lucky today. I met a fishmonger who had three fish left. I bought them all and added a few cents to ask him to sell me the basket as well!" Gu Xingfan said as he handed the basket to Lin Yanbai.
Lin Yanbai opened the basket and took a look. Wow, what a big fish! It has few bones and the meat is fragrant. It is perfect for making sauerkraut fish, spicy fish fillets, braised fish... Lin Yanbai couldn't wait.
On the way home, Lin Yanbai finally remembered to ask him, "Gu Xingfan, tell me the truth, how did you know where the black market was? And you looked so comfortable doing it. Even the guard at the door knew you!"
"Hey, wife, you can even tell there's someone standing guard at the door? Look at my wife's sharp eyesight!"
"...Okay, stop flattering me. What's going on?"
"I, your man, grew up in Yanjing. It's strange that I don't know where the black market is. Besides, how dare someone who hasn't even been to the black market call himself the boss of Yanbei District!"
“…I believed your lies!”
After returning home, Lin Yanbai first took a basin and put the fish in it. Let's keep it for now and eat it slowly!
Gu Xingfan was very tactful and went into the kitchen with firewood to start a fire. After the fire was started, he immediately went to kill the fish and scrape the scales, and he was very busy.
Lin Yanbai took advantage of this time to prepare some flour and prepare some pancakes. He put more white flour and mixed it with some corn flour. Of course, he used the corn flour produced by the system. The corn flour in this era was ground too coarsely and would scratch his throat if he ate it.
The noodles were ready, and the fish was prepared. Gu Xingfan chopped the fish into pieces, planning to stew it. He then heated oil in a wok. Lin Yanbai added some broad bean paste and stir-fried the fish until fragrant. Then he added boiling water, spices, and began to simmer.
As the sun sets, the quiet courtyard is filled with an alluring aroma that makes people drool.
The time was almost up, Lin Yanbai lifted the lid of the pot, and in an instant, the fragrant aroma rushed out desperately. She deftly pinched out round pancakes, quickly stuck them on the edge of the pot, covered the pot, and simmered them for a few minutes before they were finally ready to be served.
The stewed fish is spicy and tasty, without any fishy smell. Instead, it is fresh and fragrant. Lin Yanbai added bean paste, so the freshness and fragrance are slightly spicy.
The pancakes were dipped in the soup and paired with the fish meat. The two of them ate without even raising their heads... They finished the whole fish. If other people knew how they ate, they would definitely say it was a waste.
After dinner, Lin Yanbai lay on a recliner in the yard with her belly bulging. It was a blessing that she could eat as much as she wanted without gaining weight. Otherwise, she would have gained ten pounds in less than two weeks. She smacked her lips and thought, "Tsk, it would be nice to have some fruit after dinner!"
She looked guiltily at Gu Xingfan who was busy in the kitchen. Seeing that he was concentrating on washing dishes, a strawberry quickly appeared in his hand and he secretly put it into his mouth. The sweet juice of the strawberry quickly burst in her mouth, giving her a little satisfaction.
When Gu Xingfan finished packing and came out, he was greeted by his beautiful wife who was sitting obediently on a chair waiting for him. He couldn't help but lower his head and pecked the corner of her mouth.
...A sweet smell of strawberries. Is this guy so bold that he doesn't even want to hide it?
