On the other side, as soon as Mu Yanjin entered the courtyard, his eyes lit up.
This courtyard was for Ji Huaian to live in, so he paid special attention to it and came here twice in person.
In the originally empty little courtyard, there was only a pear tree covered with white pear blossoms in the northeast corner.
At this moment, there are several beautiful straw chairs, and a few tea sets are placed on a small round table of the same material.
There are several pots of green plants in the corridor at the entrance of the main house, adding a bit of charm and vitality!
“You’re here!”
Ji Huaian heard the noise and came out with a smile on his face.
"I'm so sorry for taking up some time. You've done a great job tidying up this little yard!"
"It was all your sister-in-law's idea. I was just helping out. Let's go inside!"
Mu Yanjin didn't hesitate and followed him into the main house, but was shocked again.
If the main furniture had not been the same, he would have thought he had come to the wrong place.
The tables, chairs, benches and cabinets were spotlessly clean and covered with white lace dust towels.
Directly opposite are several elm cabinets of different heights.
On the taller one were two white porcelain vases with two bunches of pear blossoms in them. On the two small cabinets next to them were tape recorders and beautiful teacups on round plates. There were also two very beautiful small teapots placed separately next to them.
On the high white wall, there is a big clock in the middle, with roses framed on both sides, and the cross-stitch pattern is very delicate.
Going further inside, there are three single sofas leaning against each other, also covered with white triangular dust covers.
They are hung in an orderly manner and are very stylish.
There are also beautiful cups on the square table in front.
But it’s a little different from the one on the cabinet just now, there are also two of them.
Mu Yanjin only just noticed that many things in the house were in pairs, adding a touch of warmth to the already exquisite and tidy home.
Just by looking at it, you can feel the owner's temperament.
When Ji Huaian came back from heating up the food in the kitchen, he saw Mu Yanjin still standing there in a daze. He smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law loves to tinker with these things. She did the same on the island before!"
"My sister-in-law is really thoughtful. She made such an ordinary house so cozy and beautiful. The landlord would be surprised when he saw it!"
"It's not that exaggerated. Come and sit down!" Ji Huaian was modest, but his eyes were full of pride: "I'm a rough guy and don't understand these things, but your sister-in-law always does some shocking things. I actually admire her."
After hearing what Ji Huaian said, Mu Yanjin became even more curious about his sister-in-law: "By the way, why haven't I seen my sister-in-law?"
"She just went out, so it's just the two of us having dinner!"
"That's fine, it's been such a long time since we last met, and I have a lot to say to you!"
Mu Yanjin felt excited when he thought of the conversation he had with Ji Huaian in the secret base.
I was depressed all the way, but now I finally feel much better!
"Then let's eat and talk."
Ji Huaian brought up all the dishes prepared by Lin Jiaojiao.
There are six dishes and one soup, and each one is shocking.
Mu Yanjin looked at the exquisite presentation of the dishes, which was comparable to the presentation in the best restaurants he had ever been to.
Just like my favorite beef, the white printed soup plate, the brightly colored beef and the red pepper mixed with the oily gloss are particularly harmonious and beautiful!
Just smelling it makes my mouth water.
And that dish of shredded pork with Beijing sauce.
A square white printed porcelain plate with Beijing-style marinated pork shreds wrapped in sauce is piled in the middle, and tofu rolls with scallion shreds and cucumber shreds cut into small pieces are placed around it. It is so beautiful that it looks like a painting.
Different dishes are placed on plates of different shapes, each one is beautiful...
"Why don't you eat it? Is it not to your taste? I remember you don't like carrots, you prefer spicy food, so I specifically asked your sister-in-law to avoid it."
"No, no, no, of course it suits my taste! I was just a little surprised!" Mu Yanjin quickly waved his hands and explained: "Most of the dishes on this table are Jingkou. Are they all made by my sister-in-law herself?"
"Yes, her cooking skills are very good. Try it and see if it tastes authentic!"
Mu Yanjin couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and tasted the beef first. It was fresh, salty, fragrant and spicy, and the taste went straight to the top of his head. "It's delicious! It's better than what I had in the state-owned restaurant before. My sister-in-law's cooking skills are really unique."
Then I tried the Beijing-style shredded pork and bean curd soup.
Each one is very authentic!
Most importantly, maybe it's because he likes spicy food.
So I specially added chili peppers to some dishes, but it didn’t look out of place, and it felt like eating at home.
Because his family members sometimes take his taste into consideration and make slight adjustments.
But, it's not that exquisite.
"I think I kind of understand why you refused to come to Beijing with me in the first place. You were so anxious to see your wife. You're so lucky to have married such a virtuous and good wife!"
When Ji Huaian heard him praise his wife, he smiled unabashedly, his heart filled with pride: "You're right, I always thought marrying your sister-in-law was the greatest blessing in my life. She's so much more than that."
"Really? But I'll definitely meet my sister-in-law if I get a chance!"
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I'll introduce you to each other then. Come on, eat more!"
Mu Yanjin looked at Ji Huaian's happy smile, then looked at the furnishings in the room and the teacups placed together on the table on the side. He felt a little sad in his heart, and suddenly he wanted to get married.
If married life is like this, you can still marry someone you like, like...
How free life would be!
The two chatted about everything from their lives after separation to everything under the sun. They drank three or four bottles of wine, but they still weren't satisfied.
Ji Huaian was happy today and showed his drunkenness for a rare time, his tongue was swollen.
"Brother, listen to my advice. You're not a child anymore. If you see someone you like, just go after them boldly and start a family. Before, I also thought people like me should be single, but after meeting your sister-in-law, everything changed!"
Mu Yanjin was also drunken, his cheeks flushed, and he leaned closer to Ji Huaian with his head propped up: "Why did you change?"
When Ji Huaian heard this question, he burst out laughing, with happiness that could not be hidden in his eyes.
"You don't know, the first time I met your sister-in-law, I felt something was different. She was different from all the girls in this world, beautiful and unique. Especially when she spoke, every frown and smile of hers was like it was engraved on my heart. I can't forget her and I don't want to forget her."
"Also, that skinny girl resolutely went to the island with me, and made the most difficult and boring days so wonderful. At that time, I was just as scared as you when I first walked into the house. How did she change? Your sister-in-law was standing in front of me and smiling at me. That scene... I felt that this life was worth it!"
