The old lady also made breakfast the next day. She doesn't sleep much, so she gets up before dawn and busies herself in the kitchen and yard.
The ground in the yard was littered with withered flowers lying haphazardly, and a corner of the wall was enclosed with scrap wood. An old lady was supervising the work, and it was all done in one night.
Ye Qingqing looked at the watery rice porridge in front of her, a plate of leftover rotten amaranth stalks, and the leftovers from last night, and sighed inwardly.
There are always gains and losses!
After the old lady arrived, the quality of the meals dropped significantly. Before, when Shen Yanhong was in charge of the kitchen, the breakfasts were varied, with wontons, noodles, three-delicacy noodles, fried rice with eggs, lean meat porridge, and more. The variety was even better than the breakfasts sold outside.
But now... the old lady has been here for three days and has only eaten three meals of rice soaked in water with leftover vegetables and fermented bean curd, as well as that damned amaranth stalks.
None of them were foods that Ye Qingqing liked to eat.
Just consider it a way to lose weight!
Ye Qingqing consoled herself, swallowed a mouthful of rice porridge with a mournful expression, and didn't want to eat a single bite of vegetables. What she hated most was leftover food from the previous day, which was limp and soggy... It didn't look good, and it tasted even worse.
She dislikes fermented bean curd even more. Of all pickled foods, she dislikes everything except meats like cured pork, sausages, and braised duck!
Ye Zhiguo, however, ate with great relish. Of all the breakfasts he had eaten, he still loved his mother's plain rice porridge the most, especially with some fermented amaranth stalks. It tasted wonderful.
"Qingqing, go to the police station to sign the papers at three o'clock this afternoon. Wait for me at home!" Ye Zhiguo instructed.
Shen Yanhong was eating in silence, her face looking rather pale. Last night, when Ye Qingqing went to Ye Lan's room to practice acupuncture, she vaguely heard the couple arguing at the stairwell. It was already past midnight.
She had intended to have Pipi eavesdrop, but the bird had apparently gone off somewhere to have fun at night.
Even without eavesdropping, Ye Qingqing knew that Shen Yanhong must have argued with Ye Zhiguo because of the old lady. Humph... the fiercer the argument, the better. It would be best if they argued all the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce!
However, Shen Yanhong's expression softened after hearing Ye Zhiguo's words. As long as Lan'er and Xiaohua's household registrations could be transferred over, she could tolerate the old lady staying a few more days.
"Okay, I'm going to the Lu family this morning. Xiaotong hasn't studied math for several days," Ye Qingqing said.
The house has been in chaos for the past three days, and she hasn't had time to go to Lu Mo's place. She has to go there today to talk to Lu Mo about transferring her household registration. Lu Mo had said before that she should notify him on the day she signs the papers!
"Okay, remember to come back this afternoon!" Ye Zhiguo added, his brows furrowing slightly. Ye Qingqing had been getting too close to Lu Mo lately, while Lu Qingquan seemed to have disappeared, not calling even once in over half a month. He wondered what he was up to!
"Qingqing, Lu Qingquan didn't call you? You two used to call each other all the time!"
Ye Zhiguo smiled slightly and casually inquired.
“I used to think he was somewhat interesting, but now I don’t feel anything for him anymore. I don’t want to call him,” Ye Qingqing said with a look of disgust.
Ye Zhiguo laughed heartily and deliberately asked, "So who do you find interesting now? Lu Mo?"
"Yes, Lu Mo is quite interesting, and he's also my rightful fiancé. I'm going to marry him!" Ye Qingqing stated this for the first time in front of Ye Zhiguo.
Ye Lan's heart sank, but she smiled and said, "Qingqing, didn't you used to say that Lu Mo was unromantic and that you didn't want to marry him?"
"I didn't say anything like that, Ye Lan, why are you spreading rumors!" Ye Qingqing glared at her, refusing to admit it.
Anyway, she only said this to Ye Lan!
