Hiss~~
Why are you hugging yourself?
Xia Hong was at a loss.
She was held tightly by the man, unable to struggle free, as stubborn as a rock.
Neither of them uttered a sound, they just hugged each other... as if they wanted to stay together forever.
...
On the other side.
After dinner, everyone sat in the main room chatting happily.
"Old Gu, how long has it been since we've enjoyed life like this?" Old Master Ye said with deep emotion, sipping his tea.
"Yes, it feels like something from a past life."
From the time I joined the army to today, decades have passed in the blink of an eye.
Memories of the past float into my mind like fleeting clouds.
Mother Ye pulled her daughter aside and whispered, "Are these two old gentlemen staying in those two rooms outside tonight?"
"Don't worry, Mom. There's no need to be too nervous. The old men won't mind anything."
If they really disliked it, they wouldn't have bothered coming here.
Ye's mother rolled her eyes at her daughter: "Silly girl, haven't you seen how the two old men live at home? Even if I treat them to lavish meals every day, I'm still worried about not being able to take good care of them!"
The two old men's meals at home were indeed simple, consisting mostly of vegetarian dishes, vegetarian soups, and vegetarian pancakes.
But those vegetarian dishes, soups, and pancakes are all made with lots of nutritious ingredients, how can they compare to what you get outside?
As Ye's mother said, she had lived in the Ye family for two or three years, so of course she could see many things.
To give a simple example: what old men often eat is boiled cabbage in hot water.
On the surface, it doesn't seem particularly special; it's just a clear soup with a few tender and smooth cabbage leaves floating on top, and you can smell a very fragrant aroma.
However, the essence of this dish lies in its broth!
The main ingredient is chicken, which is repeatedly simmered to create this fragrant soup.
The cabbage used is the kind from Northeast China that's supposedly ripe but not quite, and it's grown in the same field that has been repeatedly soaked in hot and cold water.
Although it looks simple, it is actually not simple at all, because the requirements for the ingredients are particularly high. It usually takes several skilled chefs to complete it together. The most important thing is that hot water is added and simmered repeatedly each time. This is the beginning of the dish's impressive nature.
Meat and fish dishes pale in comparison to this vegetarian dish...
Ye Wanying was aware of this. Having stayed at the Gu family's house for so many days, she often saw the good things the kitchen aunties brought out, so she had a good eye for it.
"Hey, Mother, aren't you worrying too much? The old men have all suffered a lot."
Therefore, a harsh environment is not a problem for the old men.
"Alright, I'll go make the bed now."
"Mom, let me help you."
The mother and daughter walked towards the outer room.
The mother and daughter had so much to say to each other after not seeing each other for so long.
I'm too busy during the day to have a chance, but now that I have some free time, I'm going to pour my heart out.
Inside the house.
"Yingying, how are you doing at the Gu family? Is Xiao Dan still as insistent as ever?"
Ye Wanying placed the cotton wadding on a stool beside her and said, "The Gu family is doing well. Now, they probably aren't as insistent as they were back then."
Otherwise, Commander Gao would be here right now!
The reason you suggested staying in Kyoto for a few more days is because you're worried about taking care of your family, isn't it?
