"Oh, it's broken!"

Song Fuyu slapped his thigh excitedly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

When Zhao Da heard her loud voice, he stood up from his chair in fright.

"I promised Ziyuan that I would call him as soon as I arrived. I was hungry just now, so I just focused on eating."

"Go next door quickly, Lao Cao is in the office."

Song Fuyu trotted over and knocked on the door twice, pulling Cao Xingwang, who was about to fall asleep, out of his daze.

"Come in."

"Director Cao, are you taking a lunch break? Sorry to bother you."

She didn't want to disturb him at this time, but she promised Ziyuan and forgot. He must be pacing anxiously beside the phone at the supply and marketing cooperative, thinking something had happened to her.

"It's okay, don't bother."

"Do you want to talk to me about something?"

"Let me borrow the phone for a moment. You continue to sleep. I'll be done soon."

The phone in Director Cao's office was still an old-fashioned rotary dial phone. He put his finger into the number hole and quickly turned the dial. After a while, a slightly anxious male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ziyuan, it's me."

"Wife, are you just here?"

"I've been here for almost an hour. I was just hungry, so I went to the cafeteria to eat. I forgot to call."

"I'm glad you're okay. When I saw you didn't call me, I thought something happened on the way."

"It's okay. The journey was smooth and safe."

"It's okay."

"Have you had enough for lunch?"

"I'm full. I had the mixed bean noodles made by Master Huang. They were really delicious."

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"I... ate it."

"You lied again. You obviously didn't eat it."

"I just want to make sure you're safe first. I'll go eat right after the call."

"Then go eat quickly, and be careful on your mission. Bye."

After saying that, Song Fuyu ruthlessly hung up the phone, leaving Yan Ziyuan on the other end of the phone holding the receiver helplessly in a daze.

"Yan Tuan, is sister-in-law okay?"

During the hour that Yan Ziyuan was waiting for a call in the supply and marketing cooperative, the one who had the hardest time was not himself, but the salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative.

As time went by, there was no sound from the phone. The expression on Yan Ziyuan's face became more and more serious. He stared at the phone intently, as if he was waiting for something to happen. She was even afraid that Yan Ziyuan would stare at the phone until it broke.

"It's okay, she just went to eat."

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, I went straight home.

There is no food in the cafeteria at this time, so I have to go home and cook for myself.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw the shelves filled with all kinds of ingredients that Xiao Yu had stockpiled. The rice jar, flour jar, oil jar... were all full.

There are so many things, and it will probably take him and Xiaoyu two months to finish them even if they don't go out to buy more food.

In fact, there is no such thing as finishing the meal. Xiaoyu likes the feeling of filling up. After eating some, he will quickly buy more.

He had laughed and said that he could buy more after finishing his meal, but she rejected the idea.

She said that if she encountered an infectious disease, it would be inconvenient to go out, there would be nothing to eat at home, and she could only wait for someone to deliver food to her door while she was hungry. This feeling was very uncomfortable.

He didn't know why she had such an idea.

But since she likes it, he won't stop her. As long as his wife is happy, that's all that matters.

..........

I stayed at the garment factory until four in the afternoon and went home with Qin Lixia.

"Are you still having morning sickness?"

"I'm telling you, you're really my lucky star."

"Since I ate the kimchi you made last time, I haven't had morning sickness again, at least I haven't vomited anything. Whenever I have a slight reaction, I eat a little bit of kimchi, and the feeling of vomiting will be suppressed quickly."

"The reason why I ate it so quickly is because I took it to the factory as a snack, and I ate a little when I felt like vomiting."

It had nothing to do with the kimchi she made, it was all thanks to the spiritual spring water that worked.

"I brought a few large jars this time. If you store them in a cool place, they will last for several months."

"That's great. Apart from its effect on morning sickness, the food you made is delicious in itself. We all love it."

"I'll teach you how to do it next time I come over."

"How long do you plan to stay in Beijing this time?"

"I'll be back after the wedding. There's still some preparation work to do."

"Doesn't that mean you can only ride alone when you come back?"

"It's really nothing serious, it's just that Ziyuan is a little worried. He's always worried about me traveling alone."

"He's right to be worried. After all, you're a young girl. There are so many people coming and going on the train, and they're all strangers. If something happens, you won't be able to find anyone."

"We'll see when the time comes. If you're not sure about taking the train, see if you can buy me a plane ticket. I'll fly back and it'll be a good opportunity to experience the speed of an airplane."

"That's fine."

"Sister Lixia, do your parents know that you are pregnant?"

"Got it. I called them."

"When my mother heard that I was pregnant, she immediately wanted to take leave to come and take care of me, but I refused. Now is not the time when I need someone to take care of me personally. I will let her come when I am more pregnant."

"If she wants to come, will you let her come?"

Yan's mother felt full of guilt towards Qin Lixia and always hoped to compensate her.

"In a few months, Mom will probably retire by then. By the time I give birth, you might be pregnant too, so it's a good time for me to go over to your place."

"Um... no need to induce labor, no need to induce more births, so let's just continue chatting."

"Haha, I won't rush you. You are still young now, so you can spend more time with Ziyuan. After the baby is born, all your focus will revolve around the child."

"Your brother-in-law often complains that I've paid less attention to Xiao Hai since he was born."

..........

Fang Mei doesn't get off work until six o'clock, so every time she comes, she eats ready-made food at Zhao's house. While she is busy, Song Fuyu rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen.

"Xiao Yu, why don't you wait for mom to come back before cooking? If she knew you were cooking, she would definitely scold me."

"It's okay, it's just cooking, it's not tiring, I cook every day at home too."

"I brought a lot of preserved meat. I steamed it together with rice and blanched some vegetables. It was so fragrant that Ziyuan would eat two big bowls of rice every time."

"You're the chef, I'll take your word for what we eat."

When the Zhao family came back from get off work, they all followed the smell and gathered in the kitchen.

"Aunt, are you cooking tonight? It smells so good, my mouth is watering."

"Cover your mouth first. When I lift the lid of the pot, the taste will be even better. Don't drop your saliva into the pot."

"Hehe, I won't fall in. I will hold it in."

"Xiao Yu, thank you for your hard work. You came to our house as a guest and cooked for us."

“It’s not hard.”

"Every time I come here, I eat ready-made food. Today, I will turn the tables and let Xiaohai and Xiaoyue have a taste of my cooking."

"Aunt, the food you cook must be very delicious."

"You little flatterer, you said it was delicious before you even tried it."

"Last time grandpa and grandma went to your house, they came back and said the food you cooked was delicious. I asked them to take me to your house, but they always said next time, next time. It's obvious that they don't want to take me."

"When you have summer vacation, you can come over with your grandparents, and then ask your uncle to pick wild fruits for you in the mountains."

"Really? That's great!"

"I can't wait any longer..."
