It was an hour after the meal was prepared.
"Grandma Qiu, Xinyi's dinner is ready."
The two walked to the dining table, and Grandma Qiu frowned when she saw the three dishes and one soup.
"Where did this meat come from?"
Ye Beiping walked out with a smile, carrying two bowls of rice, and said, "I went to the market this morning and bought two pounds of meat."
"Hmph." Grandma Qiu snorted coldly and said with a sneer, "I heard from Xinyi that you buy meat to eat every day. Are you very rich?"
For someone like Grandma Qiu, who has even gnawed on tree bark, this is a complete waste.
Different perspectives.
Grandma Qiu believed that meat was not something to be eaten every day, but only when there was a need to supplement nutrition.
For Ye Beiping, eating without meat is like eating without a soul.
This is a clash of ideas and thoughts.
Ye Beiping didn't pay attention to what Grandma Qiu said, but used Su Xinyi as an excuse: "Xinyi is pregnant now and still needs nutrition."
"Nutrition?"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Qiu glanced at Su Xinyi, then looked down at her lower abdomen and said, "It's better to get two eggs than to supplement your nutrition."
This is how pregnant women supplement their nutrition in this era.
In their minds, it's better for pregnant women to eat eggs than meat.
However, Ye Beiping, being a reborn person, knew that meat and eggs were different. Eggs could supplement protein, while meat could supplement minerals and vitamins.
Just like the human body cannot lack salt, but it also cannot eat too much of it.
Two pounds of meat a day is the most suitable.
"Okay, let's eat."
After being persuaded by Su Xinyi, Ye Beiping stopped arguing with Grandma Qiu.
These are things that the two people have different ideas about, so they can't reach a conclusion by arguing about them.
People like Grandma Qiu are the type who would resolutely refuse to eat pork if their superiors said it was harmful. They might also refuse to add a single grain of salt, no matter how unpalatable it is, if they were told salt is bad.
The lunch was relatively peaceful.
Apart from Ye Bei occasionally putting meat on Su Xinyi's plate, everything else was normal.
As always, Grandma Qiu was the first to put down her chopsticks and bowl, reminding everyone, "Please clean up after you finish eating. I need to take a nap at noon, so don't disturb me."
"Xinyi." When speaking to Su Xinyi, Grandma Qiu's tone softened a bit: "Don't forget to come down for dinner tonight, don't make this old lady climb up and down."
As she walked towards her room, Grandma Qiu muttered, "I'm getting old. I can't even climb two steps without getting out of breath."
Forehead......
Ye Beiping was speechless, feeling that Grandma Qiu treated him and Su Xinyi very differently, as if he were a heartless man.
There's really nowhere to reason with them.
Su Xinyi comforted her from the side, "Don't be angry, Grandma Qiu is just like that. She has no problem with you, so be more tolerant."
"This... I think she has a lot of opinions about me." Ye Beiping muttered to himself, continuing to shovel rice into his mouth.
After finishing the meal, I cleaned up the mess.
Ye Beiping couldn't wait to take Su Xinyi home, afraid that Grandma Qiu would be grumpy in the morning and scold him again.
Watching Ye Beiping flee in disarray, Su Xinyi covered her mouth and chuckled behind her back.
When I got home, I felt completely relaxed.
"Come on, Xinyi, I've got something good to show you." Ye Beiping pulled Su Xinyi into the living room.
Su Xinyi, who had just entered the house, hadn't yet noticed that there was something new in the house.
It wasn't until Ye Beiping pointed it out that I realized it.
"Xinyi, I just bought this when I went out this morning. Take a look and see if it works well."
Looking at the somewhat worn-out electric fan, Su Xinyi was slightly moved.
I was just a little curious: "Where did you buy it?"
Some even complained, "Why waste this money?"
Ye Beiping certainly didn't think it was a waste. While plugging in the electric fan, he said, "It's for you, how can you say it's a waste? It's not expensive, only thirty yuan."
"What?" Su Xinyi was startled and pointed at the electric fan, saying, "This piece of junk costs thirty yuan? A new one would only cost that much."
People nowadays have absolutely no concept of second-hand appliances.
In their minds, broken and old things are unwanted and should be very cheap.
But Ye Beiping knew that even if something was broken or old, it still had value as long as it was usable. A new one would cost sixty or seventy yuan, while a second-hand one would only cost half the price, which wasn't expensive.
It wasn't exactly cheap either, since it was probably made from parts cobbled together by the appliance repair shop owner from other broken electric fans.
"Let's ignore the price for now and see if it works."
Ye Beiping had already plugged in the power cord and pressed the switch.
A gust of wind immediately blew out from the electric fan, hitting Su Xinyi's cheek directly.
"It's so cool."
At noon, the sun was at its most intense, and Su Xinyi felt the heat as she climbed the stairs.
If I weren't at home, I probably would have gotten heatstroke.
Ye Beiping also sat down next to Su Xinyi, squinting as he felt the wind blowing across his cheeks: "It's quite cool, the wind is quite strong."
"Mmm." Su Xinyi could only nod emphatically at this moment, feeling deeply moved.
She said with some heartache, "It's just too expensive. Why don't we return it? It's thirty yuan."
Fearing that Ye Beiping wouldn't back down, Su Xinyi whispered an explanation:
"Actually, it's not that hot. We didn't have fans in Pingba Village before, and we got through it."
Thinking about how hot it was in Pingba Village every summer and how they still had to work in the fields, with almost no educated youth escaping the fate of heatstroke, Su Xinyi felt a little scared.
But now that she doesn't need to do any work and can just stay at home, she figured she wouldn't need an electric fan and wouldn't get heatstroke.
