Chapter 153
By the time An Xin and Bai Yichen came out of the bathroom, Mrs. Chen had already made herself a bowl of egg noodles. There were three poached eggs and some vegetables on the snow-white noodles. She was sitting at the door, eating happily.
Seeing the two people coming out of the house, Mrs. Chen stuffed her mouth with noodles and did not forget to greet them.
"Hey, you two have finished washing up, I'll eat first and won't wait for you!"
After saying that, she hurriedly stuffed a fried egg into her mouth, her mouth full of oil. The way she ate was particularly ugly, as if she was afraid that others would snatch the egg from her.
Are you kidding? How can Mrs. Chen not eat quickly? When An Xin brought food to her, she didn't bring eggs, only noodles and flour. She found the eggs herself in other people's lockers.
She had finally waited for a free lunch, so how could she treat herself badly?
Now that the master has come out, why don’t we quickly destroy the evidence?
An Xin looked at Mrs. Chen, who looked as if she was afraid that someone would snatch the food from her. She couldn't help but twitch her lips, but she still patiently greeted the other party.
"Mrs. Chen, eat slowly. No one is going to snatch it from you!"
Really, she stole three eggs from their house and was so panicked. This woman has no potential to do great things.
Sister Chen: “…”
She wasn't afraid that others would snatch the eggs from her. She was just afraid that Captain Bai would see her eating three eggs in one meal and express his dissatisfaction.
After all, the two families have been neighbors for so long. During breakfast, he has never been willing to put an egg in his bowl. Even if he occasionally makes one or two eggs, he would give them to Mr. Chen from their family.
Bai Yichen knew this very well.
Bai Yichen turned a deaf ear to Mrs. Chen's little thoughts and just walked over silently to light the stove.
This Mrs. Chen is really ruthless. She came to their house to eat and drink for free, and didn't even help the host to make breakfast. He and Anxin are still hungry now.
An Xin ignored Mrs. Chen and saw Bai Yichen take the initiative to light a fire for her. She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to make breakfast for two.
Since Bai Yichen's taste tends to be northern, she will make some northern noodles this morning.
I took out eggs from the locker and started to knead the dough. Then I went to the pile of vegetables I bought yesterday, picked out a cabbage, and started to chop lean meat and cabbage stuffing.
An Xin is a very efficient worker. She was busy and having fun in a short while. Mrs. Chen who was watching was stunned. She kept stuffing noodles into her mouth and kept asking questions with her mouth open.
"An Xin, I'm just making breakfast. Why do you make it so complicated?"
Her breakfast was relatively simple, with noodles with three poached eggs. He thought it was already quite rich. He didn't expect that An Xin used eggs and noodles, and used cabbage and pork as fillings, which looked delicious.
An Xin lowered her brows and continued to stir the stuffing in her hands while answering Mrs. Chen's questions.
"It's just a quick breakfast, Sister Chen. If you're full, go back first and come back to help at noon."
Seeing the greedy look in Mrs. Chen's eyes, the ingredients An Xin prepared were only enough for two people. Bai Yichen was a grown man with a big appetite, so An Xin naturally wanted to make sure Bai Yichen had a full breakfast.
It would be bad if this woman ate such a big bowl of noodles and refused to leave, wanting to stay and continue eating.
Mrs. Chen has been taught a lesson more than once about her shamelessness.
"ah!"
Mrs. Chen didn't expect An Xin to order her to leave so directly, and the fried egg in her mouth was stuck in her throat.
She originally wanted to spit it out, but then she remembered that it was a fried egg stuck in her throat. She quickly swallowed it with force and finally swallowed the fried egg stuck in her throat. She then took a big sip of noodle soup and finally she was able to breathe smoothly.
Mrs. Chen, who had finally survived, could only reply with an awkward smile.
"Okay then, I'll go back after I finish eating."
But she couldn't help complaining in her heart. An Xin and his wife were planning to prepare something delicious, but they sent her back. What did this mean?
If she had known that An Xin would cook delicious food herself, she wouldn't have been so greedy for other people's eggs. She shouldn't have cooked such a big bowl of noodles for herself and stuffed herself.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen immediately felt regretful, but what else could she do? Who told her to just eat other people's breakfast before?
An Xin ignored the annoyance on Mrs. Chen's face and kept moving. She quickly wrapped the dumplings, then poured hot oil into the pan and made pan-fried dumplings for Bai Yichen.
By the time the dumplings, golden on both sides, came out of the pot, Mrs. Chen had already returned to her doorstep. She stared fiercely at An Xin's dumplings, unable to help swallowing her saliva.
An Xin didn't have time to pay attention to Mrs. Chen's resentful look. After making the pan-fried dumplings, she made a vegetable and black fungus soup. By the time breakfast was served, Bai Yichen had already washed his hands and was waiting at the table!
Looking at the golden dumplings on both sides, Bai Yichen took a sip of the vegetable and black fungus soup with a gentle smile in his eyes. He knew that his young wife would not treat his stomach badly.
The two of them ate breakfast tacitly, and An Xin started preparing the food for lunch. She had to be more careful with the food for so many people, while Bai Yichen drove the team's jeep out to the village. He had to help An Xin's younger brothers and sisters with the household registration transfer.
When I go to the provincial capital tomorrow, I will transfer my household registration there, and my younger brothers and sisters’ school transfers will be arranged.
Fortunately, the guys in the exploration team were all young, strong and dexterous. When Anxin was busy preparing ingredients alone, they soon came uninvited to help Anxin light the stove, wash the vegetables and wash the dishes.
Mrs. Chen, who had said she would come over to help early in the morning, was leaning against the door frame of her house, watching the young men busying around, slowly cracking melon seeds, and from time to time directing the young men to chop firewood for their family.
Just like that, when Bai Yichen came back with the materials for transferring his household registration, An Xin, with the help of the young men in the team, had already braised a large pot of pork head. The pig offal was braising with potato cubes, and the aroma was sizzling out of it. The aroma floated over the entire exploration team's accommodation area, making people's appetite increase.
When everyone saw Bai Yichen coming back, they all greeted Bai Yichen at the same time.
"Captain, you're back. Did you smell it? Our sister-in-law's cooking skills are amazing. The braised pork offal and potatoes smell so good that I'm almost drooling. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait to eat and will become a greedy cat."
The other guys quickly agreed.
"Yes, yes, our sister-in-law's cooking skills are impeccable. We brothers are in for a treat today!"
Bai Yichen glanced at An Xin who was busy in the crowd, the smile on his lips became softer, and he said to the young men.
