When Jiang Xun saw Ye Li leave, he quickly took out the things in the cupboard, walked out of the courtyard, threw them into the trash can outside the courtyard, and then returned to the kitchen to continue his work.
Ye Li did not go to find Xiao Hao and Xiao Li, but hid in the dark to see what Jiang Xun threw out.
Ye Li tiptoed to the trash can, took out the brown paper bag, and opened the bag in the moonlight.
“It’s this!”
Ye Li took one out with his hand, and suddenly Jiang Xun's voice came from behind him.
"Li Li, don't eat it! It's spoiled!"
Jiang Xun put down the vegetable basin in his hand and rushed towards Ye Li, knocking the things out of Ye Li's hand.
"Um... do you think I would eat something out of a trash can... I just wanted to take a look."
Hearing Ye Li's teasing, Jiang Xun suddenly burst out laughing.
...
...
Why did he suddenly say this? Ye Li would definitely not eat something taken out of the trash can.
"I said the wrong thing in my haste just now. I originally wanted to bring this bag of soup dumplings back for you, but it stayed in the car for too long and the dumplings had gone bad when they got back. So I didn't give it to you, for fear that you would laugh at me." Jiang Xun explained a little embarrassedly.
"How could I laugh at you? How do you know that I like Hai Shi's soup dumplings? I was thinking about it today." Ye Li was very surprised when she saw the bag of soup dumplings. Jiang Xun actually brought them back to her from such a far place. She was quite touched.
"I remember that you mentioned soup dumplings a lot after you came back from your business trip last time, so I brought some to you when I had the chance. Unfortunately, they are not fresh when I bring them back. If I hadn't gone to another factory in the middle of the trip, they should still be good when I bring them back."
Jiang Xun originally bought a ticket to return directly, but the machinery factory had a temporary plan for him to take a detour to another factory, causing the soup dumplings he brought with him to be delayed on the train for more than a day.
"But it doesn't matter. I asked the store owner how to make soup dumplings, and they will be ready in a while. You can try my cooking skills." Jiang Xun was glad that he asked the store owner how to make soup dumplings, otherwise he would have gotten nothing this time.
"Okay, then I'm very much looking forward to it!" Ye Li didn't expect that Jiang Xun would remember his casual words so clearly. It felt good to be remembered by others.
Ye Li and Jiang Xun returned to the courtyard. They chatted in the kitchen while waiting for the soup dumplings to be cooked.
After a while, the steaming soup dumplings were taken out.
"Try it and see how it tastes. Be careful, it's hot."
Jiang Xun picked up a soup dumpling with an expectant look and put it in Ye Li's bowl.
Ye Li took a bite and found that the taste was 70% similar to the ones sold in the store. It was obvious that much thought was put into the preparation.
"It's delicious!" Ye Li gave Jiang Xun two thumbs up.
"I was wondering why it smells so good, brother and sister-in-law, it turns out you two are cooking for us. Fang Ning is hungry, give us two too!" Jiang Xi came closer and saw that they were buns, so he reached out to take them.
With a snap, Jiang Xi's hand was opened.
Jiang Xi said with a wronged look on his face: "How can you be so stingy? You didn't even give me two buns! I can't even pay for them."
"This can't be bought with money." Ye Li spoke vaguely with a bun in his mouth.
"Why can't I buy it? How expensive can these buns be?" Jiang Xi took out two dollars from his pocket and slapped them on the chopping board.
"These buns belong to your sister-in-law. I didn't make any for others. If you want to eat them, I'll make them for you tomorrow." Jiang Xun looked at Ye Li eating with such relish that he didn't have the heart to share the buns with Jiang Xi, for fear that Ye Li wouldn't have enough.
"How can this be! I gave all the money, but I can't even get two buns? Big brother, this is a bit too much!" Jiang Xi knew that she couldn't get the buns from Jiang Xun, so she looked at Ye Li aggrievedly, hoping to get some sympathy from her sister-in-law.
"Take the money and bring some buns to Fang Ning. Pregnant women tend to get hungry easily." Ye Li said as he gave the remaining three buns to Jiang Xi.
"Sister-in-law is still the best!" Jiang Xixi was overjoyed and was about to run away with three buns.
"Wait." Jiang Xun called out to Jiang Xi.
"Brother, you are not planning to go back, are you? This is too unreasonable. If you don't do it for Fang Ning and me, you have to do it for your unborn nephew." Jiang Xi hugged the three buns tightly and refused to let go.
"It's not about Baozi. How are you handling your affairs? I heard that you haven't been to work these few days."
Hearing Jiang Xun asking this, Jiang Xi said with a distressed look: "Brother, don't mention it. I can't go back to this factory anymore. Tang Xue..."
Jiang Xi suddenly realized that Ye Li was still beside him and immediately stopped talking.
"It's okay, your sister-in-law knows."
"You all know this, don't you?"
Ye Li nodded to Jiang Xi and said, "Almost. We all know it except Fang Ning. You went to the movies and went shopping with the girl without Fang Ning's knowledge."
"Sister-in-law! Stop talking. I was forced to do that. Now that I think about it, it was so stupid. It will be easier now that you are back, brother. Help me think of a way to get rid of Tang Xue's entanglement."
"We'll talk about it when we get to the machinery factory tomorrow."
"Okay. Then I'll give Fang Ning some buns first."
After Jiang Xi left, Ye Li wiped the oil off his mouth.
"Let's go, let's go back and rest. The child will sleep with grandma tonight, and we two will sleep on our own." Ye Li said as he took Jiang Xun's hand.
"Li Li, are you full?"
"Very full. I had already had dinner, and then I ate a few of the buns you made."
Ye Li touched his stomach and felt like there was a small ball inside.
"I've fed you, isn't it time for you to feed me too..." Jiang Xun said, then he picked up Ye Li and strode out of the kitchen and into the bedroom.
…
The next day, Ye Li almost held onto the bed with her hands on her waist. Last night, Jiang Xun was like a tireless wolf, almost tearing her apart.
"Ye Li, what's wrong with you? Why can't you straighten your waist?" Zhao Xingmei went to make breakfast in the morning and saw Ye Li bending over and asked with concern.
"Mom, I sprained my waist yesterday. It's no big deal, don't worry about it." After saying that, Ye Li glared at Jiang Xun in the room. The resentful little look made Jiang Xun laugh.
"It's okay. You should be more careful in daily life, especially don't catch a cold. Your waist will feel more uncomfortable if you catch a cold." Seeing that Ye Li was fine, Zhao Xingmei went into the kitchen.
"Stop laughing! Help me find a plaster. I think my waist is really sprained." Ye Li stood up suddenly and heard a click, and a pain came from his waist.
Seeing that Ye Li was really injured, Jiang Xun quickly ran out of the house and helped Ye Li back to the house.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have treated you so harshly last night..." Jiang Xun apologized while taking out the plaster and applying it to Ye Li.
"Jiang Xun! You are forbidden to use that posture in the future..." Ye Li couldn't even say it himself, his face as red as a tomato.
