Chapter 78: Dumpling Soup
"Why are you grinning like an idiot when you're not saying anything?" Li Wanqing said coquettishly.
"You're laughing at me for marrying a good wife. My dear wife, you are so nice. Since my grandparents passed away, no one has cared about me so much." Gu Yan said.
Thinking about how Gu Yan had been neglected by his father and mother over the years, Li Wanqing felt even more sorry for him.
"It's okay. Even if others don't love you, I will love you in the future." Li Wanqing said with heartache.
"Then I want to eat dumplings with leeks and pork." Gu Yan was moved and wanted to act coquettishly.
He had seen his second brother Gu Bei acting like a spoiled child with his mother, and he had also seen his eldest brother making requests to his father, but he had never been treated this way.
Now that his wife loves him so much, he suddenly wants to try acting like a spoiled child.
"Okay, I'll make it right away. Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll make it for you." Li Wanqing said softly.
"I also want to eat fried large intestine, boiled fish, spicy chicken, and I want to drink two taels of wine." Gu Yan said in a rather arrogant manner.
Li Wanqing also indulged him: "Okay, I'll do it for you."
Gu Yan finished speaking, and Li Wanqing agreed. He felt embarrassed again: "Wife, forget it, I just said that.
Just eating dumplings for dinner is enough, there's no need for vegetables."
"It's okay. You've been tired recently. I'll make some delicious food for you to replenish your energy." Li Wanqing said.
Gu Yan felt happy to see that his wife cared so much about him.
"Then I'll listen to my wife. I'll help you later, and we'll have a drink together in the evening." Gu Yan said happily.
"Okay, let's go and make something delicious." Li Wanqing pulled Gu Yan off the kang.
The couple divided the work and worked together, and dinner was served an hour later.
"Wife, I'll toast you a glass. Thank you for not looking down on me." Gu Yan poured a glass of wine for Li Wanqing.
"What do you mean by dislike or not, Gu Yan, you are very good, I think you are very good.
Don't let your imagination run wild. If they don't like you, they're just blind. In my eyes, you're much better than your older brothers.
Just wait and see, your parents will regret it sooner or later." In order to prevent Gu Yan from feeling inferior, Li Wanqing also tried her best to comfort him.
"Well, let them regret it. Wife, you are so nice. I really miss you." Gu Yan was a little drunk after drinking two glasses of wine.
"Okay, stop drinking. Come, eat some vegetables and dumplings." Li Wanqing took the wine glass away from him when she saw that Gu Yan was drunk.
Even when Gu Yan was drunk, he knew to listen to his wife. If his wife told him not to drink, he would not drink. If his wife told him to eat vegetables, he would eat vegetables. If his wife told him to eat dumplings, he would eat dumplings. He was extremely obedient.
Li Wanqing felt both angry and amused when she saw Gu Yan, who was particularly well-behaved even though he was drunk.
Li Wanqing watched Gu Yan eat some vegetables and a bowl of dumplings, then she got some water for Gu Yan to wash up and went to sleep.
Only after she waited for Gu Yan to fall asleep did she have time to clean up the dishes.
Isn’t it said that women who care about men deserve to suffer?
Now, Li Wanqing is very tired because she feels sorry for her man.
After washing the dishes, Li Wanqing also washed up, and finally lay down next to Gu Yan and fell asleep.
The next morning, Gu Yan woke up early, but he didn't want to get up when he saw his wife sleeping soundly in his arms.
Since there was no work to do in the fields now, he just hugged Li Wanqing and took a nap.
When Li Wanqing woke up, she found that her husband had rarely gotten up early.
Seeing the person in his arms open his eyes, Gu Yan smiled: "Awake?"
"Well, what time is it?" Li Wanqing said while rubbing her face against Gu Yan's chest.
"It's one o'clock in the morning. Don't worry. No one will come here." Gu Yan lowered his head and kissed Li Wanqing's forehead.
"Hmm~" Li Wanqing raised her head to greet him, and Gu Yan's kiss landed on Li Wanqing's lips again.
How does the saying go? Men cannot be teased in the early morning. Li Wanqing took the initiative to offer her sweet lips, and Gu Yan could not bear it.
Gu Yan had been busy these days, and the two of them hadn't been intimate for a while. Now that they had some free time to eat meat, Gu Yan kept busy until noon.
"Oh, are you done yet? Get up quickly, I'm hungry." Li Wanqing's coquettish voice sounded.
"Wife, it will be ready soon, wait a moment." Gu Yan said while panting.
After about a quarter of an hour, the noise in the house died down. After another quarter of an hour, Gu Yan came out with a satisfied look on his face to boil water.
By the time Gu Yan boiled the water and Li Wanqing finished washing up, it was already past one in the afternoon.
"Look at you, can't you restrain yourself a little? You made my back ache, and I still have to wash these sheets and quilt covers." Li Wanqing said to Gu Yan coquettishly.
"I'll wash them, wife. I'll wash them all. I'll go cook first, and then I'll wash them after dinner." A satisfied man is particularly easy to talk to.
"I want to eat tomato dumpling soup and fried eggs." Li Wanqing said coquettishly.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be there right away." After saying that, Gu Yan went to the garden to pick tomatoes.
Half an hour later, a bowl of tomato and dumpling soup was placed in front of Li Wanqing.
"Wife, please try it and see if it's delicious. This egg is cooked to your liking, please try it." Gu Yan stood in front of Li Wanqing and looked at her expectantly.
Li Wanqing did not disappoint him, she took a sip of the dumpling soup and said, "Mm, it's delicious, you should go and eat it too.
Oh, and here are some sesame cakes. Let’s eat them.”
Li Wanqing wasn't being perfunctory. Dumpling soup was one of the only two dishes Gu Yan could make. The other was porridge.
Gu Yan knows how to make dumpling soup, and it is indeed delicious. Besides, Li Wanqing hasn't eaten a single bite since morning.
So this delicious dumpling soup is now considered a delicacy for Li Wanqing.
Seeing that Li Wanqing liked it, Gu Yan felt relieved and went out again to bring in his own bowl.
"Here are some sesame cakes and fried dough sticks, you can eat them." Li Wanqing took out some sesame cakes and fried dough sticks from the space.
Gu Yan has a big appetite and he won’t feel full just by eating the dumpling soup.
The sesame seed cakes and fried dough sticks were all bought originally, and the storage space has a fresh-keeping function, so they are still in the same condition as when I bought them.
So Li Wanqing bought a lot of things, thinking that she would have something to eat in case she didn’t want to cook, and now she is using them.
"Okay." Gu Yan was also hungry, so he took a pancake and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
"Let's go to the county town tomorrow and buy everything the family needs for the winter. Then we won't have to go out when it snows in the future." Li Wanqing said halfway through the meal.
"Okay, it's time to replace the arrowheads of my bow and arrow. I want to replace them with new ones this time." Gu Yan said.
The bow and arrow that Gu Yan used was passed down from his grandfather. The arrowhead was badly worn out, and he didn't have the conditions to replace it.
Now Gu Yan wants to exchange it for a new one. As for the silver, he will use the fifty taels of silver note that Li Wanqing gave him yesterday.
Two cows would require about thirty taels, and the remaining amount would be enough to buy new arrowheads.
