Chapter 90
While Ye Qian was frying pancakes, she was struggling over whether or not to call Gu Jinyan for breakfast.
Do you want it, do you want it, do you want it?
After Ye Qian fried the last bun, she went out and walked to the opposite side.
“Boom…Boom…”
"Deputy Director Gu, are you up?" Ye Qian asked while knocking on the door.
Gu Jinyan had gotten up early and was about to go out for breakfast when he heard Ye Qian knocking on the door.
Gu Jinyan walked out and opened the door: "What's up so early?"
Gu Jinyan thought to himself, could it be that he was being asked to have breakfast? There was nothing else to do so early in the morning, and he felt a little excited when he thought about it.
Ye Qian saw Gu Jinyan coming out and said to him, "I made breakfast, do you want to eat together?"
Gu Jinyan was overjoyed when he heard Ye Qian's words. He nodded frantically in his heart, "Okay, okay." But considering his own image, he smiled calmly and said to Ye Qian, "Okay."
"Then I'll go back first. You pack up and come back." After saying that, Ye Qian went back.
Gu Jinyan also returned to his room, picked up a document on the table and went straight to Ye Qian's house.
As soon as Gu Jinyan entered Ye Qian, he smelled the fragrance of oil. He closed the gate and quickened his pace as he walked in.
There were freshly fried pancakes on the table in the living room. Ye Qian brought a large bowl of porridge, which seemed to have something added to it, and it smelled of meat. Gu Jinyan wanted to help, but Ye Qian asked her to sit down and told him that there was nothing left. Then she went to the kitchen and got two bowls and two boiled eggs.
Ye Qian served Gu Jinyan a bowl of lean meat porridge. Originally, Ye Qian made white porridge, and later invited Gu Jinyan to dinner. After Gu Jinyan agreed, Ye Qian added lean meat. There was minced meat in the space that had been prepared before, so she just added some seasonings and poured it into the porridge. It was cooked in a while. Moreover, meat porridge should be cooked at the time, otherwise the meat will become tough if cooked for too long, and it will not taste good.
Ye Qian handed the porridge to Gu Jinyan and served herself a bowl.
Gu Jinyan took a sip and found that the porridge tasted particularly good. He didn't care that it was hot and finished the porridge in just three or two mouthfuls. Gu Jinyan then added another bowl for himself.
Seeing that Gu Jinyan was only focused on drinking the porridge and hadn't eaten the pancake yet, Ye Qian said to him, "This pancake is not bad either. It's the thousand-layer pancake I made. It's fried until crispy and smells delicious. You're welcome to eat more."
Gu Jinyan was really not polite. He picked up the pancake and started eating it. After taking a bite, he found that it was indeed as the little girl said. The pancake was fried until crispy and smelled very fragrant, but the inside was very soft.
Gu Jinyan ate the pancakes and drank the porridge while praising Ye Qian: "My cooking skills are really good."
When Ye Qian heard Gu Jinyan praising her, she couldn't help laughing out loud. When Gu Jinyan heard Ye Qian's laughter, he looked up at her.
I just praised her and she was so happy. Does she like me? Otherwise, why would she be so happy? Does she like me the same way I do? Maybe she regards me as an elder or an uncle, after all, there is a 9-year age difference? Then Gu Jinyan angrily ate 2 more bowls of lean meat porridge and 2 more pancakes.
Ye Qian used a small bowl to eat. A bowl of porridge was not a lot, and it was nothing for a grown man to eat four or five bowls. Ye Qian drank two bowls herself.
This was really something Ye Qian had not thought of carefully enough, because in later generations, people were afraid of gaining weight and generally did not use big bowls to eat. Big bowls can hold more food, so people used small bowls to hold rice, and small bowls can hold less food. The other big bowls were used to hold soup, so they were not suitable for Gu Yan to eat with. I don't know if there are any in the space, I'll look for them later.
After the two finished breakfast, Ye Qian asked Gu Jinyan to go to work first, and then she stayed to wash the dishes. Wan Haowan rode her bicycle to the office and met Gu Jinyan at the door.
Ye Qian thought Gu Jinyan was really slow. He arrived just now. Could he have walked to work? She could have arrived in 5 minutes by bike.
Gu Jinyan really walked there, and if he had fast legs, he could reach the office in 15 minutes.
At the door, Ye Qian did not greet Gu Jinyan. They had no relationship, so why should she greet him? Would someone ask her and say they were neighbors?
Gu Jinyan said that he wanted to say hello to Ye Qian, but Ye Qian was riding her bicycle very fast and disappeared in a moment, so he had no time to say hello.
Ye Qian hasn't been writing novels recently. She makes lunch appointments with Li Yue every day to keep in touch. It was understandable because she was busy before, but it would be a bit too much if she didn't contact her now that she has time.
During lunch, Li Yue told herself that she had lost her boyfriend. The person who heard it was stunned, and then realized that Li Yue was already 25 years old this year. She had no boyfriend before because it was difficult for her to lose her boyfriend because of the gossips in the factory. But how could she not be anxious? In this era, being single at 25 would cause people to talk about you.
The person Li Yue was dating was a colleague from the purchasing department of the bureau. Ye Qian recalled for a while but had no impression of him. However, after a while, the colleague came and sat next to Li Yue with food in hand.
Ye Qian looked over at Li Yue's frightened eyes, and then Li Yue introduced her boyfriend to her: "This is Zhang Mingming, from the purchasing department."
Zhang Mingming said hello to Ye Qian, and Ye Qian said hello too. After that, everyone fell silent, and Li Yue felt a little embarrassed.
Li Yue didn't have any relatives here, so since he was around, she naturally had to check on him. Then she smiled and asked Zhang Mingming, "How old are you?"
Zhang Mingming felt a little nervous when he heard Ye Qian's voice: "I'm 22 years old."
She is younger than Li Yue. Ye Qian said casually, "She is three years younger than our comrade Li Yue. They say that a woman three years older than her husband is a treasure. You are so lucky."
Zhang Mingming smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Ye Qian then asked, "How many people are there in your family?"
Zhang Mingming said: "My parents are both here. I am the eldest in the family. I have two younger brothers and a younger sister."
Ye Qian frowned when she heard Zhang Mingming's words and continued to ask, "How are your parents, brothers and sisters doing? Are they working or studying?"
Zhang Mingming didn't expect Ye Qian to ask such detailed questions. He looked up at Ye Qian, a little unhappy, but still answered truthfully: "My father was injured, and my job is to replace him. My mother is unemployed, and my younger brothers and sisters are still young and in elementary school."
Ye Qian was about to explode when she heard this. How could Li Yue tolerate such a large family? She asked, "You are the only one working in your family, so you have to give all your salary to your family."
Zhang Mingming was baffled by Ye Qian's words. As the eldest son, his salary should naturally be handed over to his mother. "Yes, all of it."
Looking at Zhang Mingming, Ye Qian probably thought he was a mama's boy, and he was the eldest child in the family. Li Yue would be at a great disadvantage if she married him. With her honest character, how could she marry such a big family? Besides, Zhang Mingming was the only one working in the family. Even if his salary was high, it would not be enough to cover the expenses. In the end, Li Yue's salary would have to be used to cover the expenses.
