Chapter 23 Married People
For example, soft-boiled eggs, milk, bread and butter, cookies, vegetable salad, a serving of roast duck, and a dozen fresh juices.
Mrs. Chen looked at An Xin's busy back and continued.
"We had dumplings for breakfast, so what do you plan to have Captain Bai take out to the mountains for lunch?"
Mrs. Chen's words made An Xin pause and speak in confusion.
"What? We have to take our lunch to the mountain?"
In fact, what she really thought in her mind was, I made breakfast, I made lunch, I made lunch, I made dinner, is it ever going to be over?
Who asked you to harm others? Just bear with it!
Then I heard Mrs. Chen say with a helpless look on her face.
"You don't understand this, do you? When the exploration team goes out to work, they are often gone for a whole day. How can they have time to come back for lunch? Naturally, they take the food to the mountains to eat."
Having said this, Mrs. Chen pretended to be mysterious and moved closer to An Xin, whispering.
"You may not know this, but when I passed by the cafeteria just now, I saw that they had already prepared breakfast for the geologists and were steaming buns for the geologists to take up the mountain for lunch."
"Oh, so that's how it is, I understand!"
An Xin had a look of being taught, but what she was actually thinking was that after Bai Yichen had breakfast, he went straight up the mountain to work, and had to have lunch on the mountain, which meant that he would only come back for dinner.
There was a long distance in between, and she could continue to drive a taxi to the provincial capital without having to make any excuses. As long as she got back before Bai Yichen got home from get off work, everyone could live in peace.
Thinking of this, An Xin couldn't help but cheer and shout in her heart, but she said it hypocritically.
"Alas, the men went up the mountain after breakfast, and I don't know when they will be back. This job is really hard."
An Xin said this with a look of concern on her face, which made Mrs. Chen beside her quickly agree.
"It's hard work, isn't it? The exploration team members go up the mountain to work, and usually they can't go home for dinner until after seven in the evening. If something special happens, it may be even later."
At this point, Mrs. Chen seemed to recall some old memories and turned to An Xin and continued talking.
"You don't know, one time, the men went up the mountain to work, and it happened to rain heavily. That night, all the team members did not come back on time, which made everyone very worried. They wanted to organize people to go up the mountain to look for her, but the rain was too heavy and they couldn't go. As a result, they waited until the middle of the night, and the rain stopped. The men came back from the mountain covered in mud, and they were already starving. After my wife came back, she ate three bowls of noodles directly..."
Mrs. Chen wiped her tears as she spoke.
"I felt so sad watching this..."
An Xin: “…”
Well, I originally wanted to find out the exact time when Bai Yichen gets off work, but ended up reminiscing about the good times.
In this way, Sister Chen stood in front of the door and chatted with An Xin. An Xin successfully got the information she wanted from this straightforward sister-in-law and did not find Sister Chen annoying.
Fortunately, not long after, Mrs. Chen's husband got up and washed up, and Mrs. Chen also quickly went home to make breakfast.
When Bai Yichen got up, An Xin was putting plump white dumplings into the pot. When she raised her eyes, she saw the man standing at the door with sleepy eyes. An Xin immediately gave him a gentle smile and spoke.
"Wake up, wash up quickly, we are ready to have breakfast."
Bai Yichen walked out with his toiletries, but why did he feel so unreal?
After he finally finished washing up, he walked towards the cafeteria as usual. When he arrived at the cafeteria door, he happened to meet Wang Aiguo from the team, who looked at him with a joking look on his face.
"Captain Bai, you've come to the wrong place. You're a married man, but your sister-in-law got up early in the morning and cooked dumplings for you at home. Our entire team has seen it. Don't come to the cafeteria anymore. This is a place for us singles."
Others quickly made jokes.
"Yes, Captain Bai is a family man, and his sister-in-law makes breakfast for him. I can smell the delicious dumplings. If I get married and she makes breakfast like this for me every day, I will be so happy."
"Come on? You don't even have a partner, and you're still thinking about your wife."
"Bah, I don't have a partner so you can't let me fantasize about it, right?"
Bai Yichen: “…”
Well, he was disliked just because of his married status. I used to feel that getting up early in the morning to make breakfast for him seemed a bit unreal and unreal, but now that my colleagues have confirmed it again, it must be real and he was not dreaming.
Well, he had to go home and enjoy the treatment that only married men could enjoy. Thinking of this, Bai Yichen's steps suddenly became lighter.
Anxin picked up the dumplings and put them on a plate. She then fried the remaining dumplings until both sides were golden brown and put them in the thermal insulation box. She quickly made some mushroom and meat sauce and also put that in the thermal insulation box. She put a small pot on the stove and cooked rice porridge.
She planned to cook some rice porridge and fried some dumplings for Bai Yichen, and make some mushroom and meat sauce, put them in a thermos, fill a pot with boiled water, and bring them up the mountain for him as lunch.
When Bai Yichen came back, An Xin had already cooked the rice porridge. Seeing the man coming back, An Xin said casually.
"Then let's have dinner!"
"Um!"
Bai Yuanchen nodded, brought in two plates of white and plump dumplings, and glanced meaningfully at the stove that An Xin was using to cook porridge.
I thought to myself that this stove and the pots, pans, and other things should belong to Lao An's house. He is a single man, and there are only some spare clothes and toiletries, a bed, and nothing else in the room.
It's hard for his wife. After marrying him, she has to go back to her parents' home early in the morning to move these things, including flour and meat, which should have been brought from Lao An's family.
An Xin had no idea what Bai Yichen was thinking. She brought in a plate of mushroom meat sauce and dipping sauce, and the two of them started eating face to face.
I have to say that An Xin's cooking skills are top-notch. In modern times, apart from her work, she is actually a food blogger. When she has nothing to do, she likes to tinker with food and upload it to the Internet. There is always a large group of people watching and commenting on her food.
Bai Yichen ate the meat with mushroom sauce and dipping sauce with great relish, a hint of satisfaction flowing in his eyes. After he was full, An Xin handed the thermos box and a pot of boiled water to Bai Yichen and said slowly.
"This is the lunch I prepared for you. It was a little hasty, so just eat it. I'll go to the city later to see if there's anything delicious, buy some and cook for you tomorrow."
An Xin said this to leave room for herself. They had just gotten married and had nothing in the house, so she had to go to the city and pretend to do some shopping, but actually she was driving a taxi to make money. As for the things the family needed, she had plenty in her warehouse.
