Li Mengxue occupied the absolute C position of the trio of people eating melons, oh no, cooking the fire. She looked at Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan, who clearly did not exchange many words, but seemed to have a tacit understanding when cooking, and imagined a thousand dramas in her mind.
Yi Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable with the looks from Li Mengxue and the others at first, but then she gave up.
Just watch it, it won’t cost you anything!
Look at her son Ayuan, how well he understands her!
Thinking of this, I just followed them and started cooking my meal seriously.
"I dare say they must have cooked together many times, otherwise how could they be so in sync with each other?" Qian Lailai said in a low voice.
"I don't see them interacting with each other normally. On the contrary, I see Mengxue and the others spending more time together. Qingqing has been staying in the house since the autumn harvest, and Comrade Yun hasn't even visited her!"
Wang Lingling said she didn't quite understand. Normally, these two people were not at all affectionate with each other, but at this moment they looked like an old married couple, even older than her parents who had been married for almost 20 years. To describe it in one word, it was "the good times are peaceful." It made people feel comfortable just looking at them.
"This is fate. It's obviously the first time for everyone to date. Some people are like a pair of dragon and phoenix pendants, they fit together perfectly in an instant, while others have to work hard before they can barely work together. There is a saying that the former kind of lovers are destined to be together after several lifetimes of cultivation, and they have to work together for several lifetimes to get so compatible, while the latter kind is just the first encounter between each other, so they are more passionate and impulsive. Both are good."
Li Mengxue said.
Although the latter kind of passionate and impulsive love is also beautiful, but after the excitement, only those who have smoothed out their edges, can come together and develop a tacit understanding can go further.
How can we not envy a relationship that is so compatible from the very beginning?
No matter how quietly they whispered, the stove was so small that Yi Qingqing could still hear roughly what they were saying.
And Ayuan also glanced at him clearly. His red earlobes probably heard it more clearly than her.
They had not even officially confirmed their relationship, but they had become a model couple in the eyes of others. Yi Qingqing felt helpless.
Without formal confirmation of the relationship, there would be no honeymoon period, and naturally there would be no passionate impulse.
What she was making now was a stew, and Yun Guyuan always found an opportunity to help her. In the meantime, Yi Qingqing even took some time out to chop the dumpling stuffing for the afternoon with Yun Guyuan, so that they could just roll out the dough and start making dumplings.
Slowly, the aroma of chicken stewed with potatoes in the pot spread out.
Yi Qingqing specially selected the hen with the most meat from the food room, and put a lot of potatoes at the end, making a big pot full, enough for everyone to have a full meal today.
The aroma tempted Li Mengxue and the others so much that they lost all interest in eating melons.
Everyone took a deep breath.
“It smells so good!”
"It smells so good, what does it taste like?"
"Qingqing, how long will it take? I'm hungry!"
"It's almost ready. You don't need to light the fire anymore. Just go sit on the kang. Serve the rice. The dishes will be here soon." Yi Qingqing estimated that it was about time and poked the chicken with chopsticks. It was not too soft, but still had a bit of chewiness. They were all young people, and it tasted better this way.
No one is crowding here to watch the show anymore.
They all ran away quickly. They were not active in eating and had problems with their thinking. The meal was so delicious, so they had to eat it quickly.
Yun Guyuan brought two oversized enamel bowls, and Yi Qingqing scooped up the food from the pot.
Finally, I added two scoops of water into the pot and burned it with the remaining fire in the stove so that I could use it to wash dishes later.
Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan each carried a pot of chicken and placed it on two small kang tables placed together.
"Come on, come on. Qingqing is the great hero today. She should sit in the middle. Comrade Yun should sit next to her!" Li Mengxue urged, patting the seat next to her.
Because the kang table is placed next to the edge of the kang, two people can sit on each side, and three people can sit on the inner side of the long side. At this moment, the remaining two empty seats are on the inner side, between Li Mengxue and Zheng Xiaolong.
Yi Qingqing: "..."
She knew that people shouldn’t eat too much of this melon!
Li Mengxue slapped the kang mat so hard that it made a loud clacking sound. She was so excited that she wanted Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan to sit together.
Zheng Xiaolong, who was separated from her by two large empty seats, was not in such a good mood, but he still had to cooperate with her, and urged Yun Guyuan unhappily: "Brother, hurry up, let's prepare the meal!"
Yun Guyuan glanced at Yi Qingqing. Yi Qingqing didn't want to let Li Mengxue and the others laugh at her, so she said directly, "Sit down!"
She was the first to go up to the kang and sit in the middle, and Yun Guyuan then sat beside her.
Yi Qingqing sat down decisively and handsomely, but when Yun Guyuan sat next to her, the faint smell of incense and body odor, as well as their knees touching each other and their arms occasionally touching, made her blush quietly.
It seemed that except for the time when they went to the countryside and took the crowded bus, and the last time when he shielded her from the rain, they had never been so close to each other for such a long time, and had no physical contact.
“Let’s eat!”
Everyone finally sat down. Everyone's rice was filled to the brim. There were also two large enamel bowls filled with potatoes and chicken. It was a real meal that people could eat to their heart's content.
Yi Qingqing was still feeling a little uncomfortable because she was too close to Yun Guyuan. When she was not used to it, the others had already picked up their bowls and started eating the chicken.
She was originally feeling lucky that everyone's attention was on the food, so no one noticed her abnormality and it wouldn't be too embarrassing, and she could calm down quietly.
But seeing everyone pounce on the food like hungry wolves, Yi Qingqing forgot everything. If she didn't take action, she was afraid that she would only be able to eat potatoes.
Of course, this is a bit exaggerated. Everyone ate in a much more tactful manner than the villagers at the village banquet. They just picked up a piece and then picked up the next piece after finishing it.
But everyone was slurping the meat quite quickly, and there was a lot of clamor for food, it was very lively, and Yi Qingqing would be betraying her desire to win if she didn't join in.
Sure enough, when someone is competing with me for the food, it tastes better and I am more likely to eat too much when I am eating alone.
The portions were originally very large, and even if there was no rush to eat them, it was enough for the seven of them to fill their bellies, and there might even be some potatoes left over.
But after all the fighting, the two large enamel bowls were empty, and not a single potato was left.
The last piece of potato was particularly popular. When the men withdrew from the battlefield, the four women fought with chopsticks and each got a portion. Among them, Wang Lingling, who successfully grabbed the biggest piece of potato, laughed "crazy" as if she had won the jackpot.
She also said proudly that this potato was the most delicious one she had eaten today.
Yi Qingqing clearly saw that she was having some difficulty swallowing.
