Chapter 63: Giving Birth
63 If you have it, you can have it
Just as Shen Yiyi started to take action, the voices of Zhou Xiaoyun and Feng Zhenzhen were heard from outside the door.
"Sister-in-law, why did you come so quickly? I've just started." Shen Yiyi opened the door and let them in, saying with a smile.
"Then we came at the right time." The two laughed.
Shen Yiyi first invited them to drink water, and then the three of them rolled up their sleeves and started to work.
Chatting while busy.
Otherwise, how can we say that Shen Yi Yi is not the sales champion for nothing? Even though she is several years older than them and has no topics to talk about many things, she can still guide them to talk, and if she says a few words from time to time, there is basically no dull moment.
While making dumplings, prepare the ingredients for the men first.
For example, for the dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms, Shen Yiyi would chop it up and stew it first. As for other dishes, those that needed to be marinated were marinated, and those that didn't were put aside to be cooked when the time came.
"I saw that you looked so delicate, so I thought you wouldn't be very good at it. I didn't expect that you can do it so efficiently." Zhou Xiaoyun said with a smile.
The look she gave Shen Yiyi was truly full of praise.
"Do you do this often at home?" Feng Zhenzhen asked.
Shen Yiyi said as she prepared the ingredients: "I live with my parents-in-law at home, and I have been the one cooking for the past few years."
Zhou Xiaoyun and Feng Zhenzhen knew she could cook just by looking at her movements.
Zhou Xiaoyun gave birth to five children, and Feng Zhenzhen gave birth to four. The youngest one was not too young, and the oldest one was just old enough to eat up his father's wealth.
So Shen Yiyi was prepared.
I prepared three full bowls of fillings, the kind that are so huge.
One bowl is stuffed with pork and leek, one bowl is stuffed with sauerkraut pork, and the other bowl is stuffed with shepherd's purse and pork.
"Isn't this too much?" Zhou Xiaoyun said embarrassedly, because her child is growing up and must eat more.
"What's the big deal? Let the children eat as much as they want. Let's pack more too." Shen Yiyi said.
Zhou Xiaoyun and Feng Zhenzhen found it hard not to like his straightforward and generous character. They smiled and said that Qin Lie would be blessed in the future.
They started working at around 2:30, but they were very fast and had finished making all the dumplings before 4:00.
Shen Yiyi kept her portion of shepherd's purse dumplings and let the two of them take the rest back to cook for the children.
However, Zhou Xiaoyun and Feng Zhenzhen were not in a hurry to go back and helped her cook.
In the evening, Lu Yang and Li Yuan followed Qin Lie over. When they saw the dishes on the table, their eyes widened.
"Sister-in-law, why did you cook so many dishes?"
"Yeah, that's rich."
Shen Yiyi did prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain the guests.
In addition to the main dish of stewed chicken with mushrooms, she also prepared braised pork with preserved vegetables, braised spareribs, stewed fish with sauerkraut, scrambled eggs with shrimps, blanched Chinese cabbage, and sour shredded potatoes!
These dishes would be great to serve to entertain guests in the future, let alone right now.
Shen Yiyi smiled and said, "This is the first time Qin Lie and I are hosting a party, so do we have to cook two more dishes? But I won't give you any wine, so that my sisters-in-law won't scold me when I go back later."
The main reason is that she has no plans to use contraception. If she is pregnant, she will give birth. It doesn't matter if it's early or late. Why not give birth earlier? The sooner the better.
So Qin Lie was not allowed to drink.
"No, no, no, there's no way. Your sister-in-law won't let us drink it either."
"We don't drink either, and we might have to go through special training in the middle of the night."
Lu Yang and Li Yuan both said this.
Shen Yiyi smiled, "Okay, you guys sit down and have dinner. I've already eaten. I'm going to visit my sister-in-law and her family. I haven't been to your house yet."
She thought that the brothers would feel awkward eating if they were left here, so she gave Qin Lie a look and went out.
As soon as Shen Yiyi left, Lu Yang and Li Yuan looked at the table of dishes and gave Qin Lie a thumbs up.
Qin Lie was naturally honored. With a slight smile on his face, he invited his two old friends to sit down and have dinner.
Not only do Shen Yiyi's dishes look delicious, but they also taste like chefs. Lu Yang and Li Yuan praised them continuously.
After the meal, they were really impressed by Qin Lie, their good brother.
With a wife like this at home, my dear brother, how much willpower does it take to go back home five times in three years?
After eating, we went home and told our wives what we had eaten.
Zhou Xiaoyun and Feng Zhenzhen didn't need them to tell them that they had bought the ingredients together in the morning, they saw it all.
However, those dishes were indeed cooked by Shen Yiyi alone, and they just helped out.
I really admire Shen Yiyi's craftsmanship.
She looks so cute, but I didn't expect that she is not cute at all. You can tell from her demeanor that she is a person who lives a normal life.
He is also very open and sincere in what he says and does.
Qin Lie married a good wife!
Putting aside the reactions of these outsiders, after entertaining the guests, Qin Lie held his wife in his arms and gave her a good beating in the house.
This man's vanity today was satisfied as never before.
Everyone thinks that his wife is not good, so he seldom goes back. Today, let them all go and see that his wife is fine!
Shen Yiyi can't stand the macho man acting like a spoiled brat, and it's broad daylight, what if Lu Yang and the others turn against her? What then?
Qin Lie knew that his wife was shy, so he just kissed her and didn't really want to do anything else. Since it was still early, he took her to Chief Gu's house to sit for a while.
"Commander Gu takes good care of me. Aunt Gu often invites me to her house for dinner and also asked me to bring you over to join the army as soon as possible." Qin Lie said.
Shen Yiyi looked at him, "Don't they know what their daughter thinks of you?"
"I know. Aunt Gu even apologized to me and said that she caused me trouble, but Gu Qian just has a bit of heroism. It's not a romantic relationship." Qin Lie said.
Shen Yiyi understood now. It seemed that the parents were decent people, except that their daughter was not presentable enough and actually liked a married man.
The couple came over carrying a bag of apples.
Chief Gu and Mrs. Gu are at home, Gu Qian is also there, and the whole family is watching TV.
"Chief, aunt."
Shen Yiyi followed Qin Lie and called for help, then said, "My name is Shen Yiyi, and I'm Qin Lie's family member."
Chief Gu nodded and said, "Come and sit down."
Mrs. Gu smiled when she saw the couple and said, "Yesterday I heard that Xiao Qin's wife was here and that she was very pretty. Today I saw that she is indeed very pretty, like a college student. Xiao Qin, bring your wife over and sit down!"
When Gu Qian saw that Shen Yiyi, a woman from a small place, was actually so beautiful, she was already feeling jealous. After hearing what her mother said, she became even more unwilling. She rolled her eyes and went straight into the house.
"This girl has to work the late shift tonight, so go back to your room and rest first." Mrs. Gu comforted her daughter.
Shen Yiyi smiled and nodded.
"Yi Yi, why haven't you come to see Xiao Qin in these years? Other people have their families come over, except Xiao Qin. I even told him to call you and ask him to come over occasionally." Mrs. Gu said as she peeled an orange for her.
