Zhong's house, first floor hall.
Yan Rushan led everyone to wash their faces and brush their teeth. After serving her, he washed himself again. After tidying themselves up, Yan Rushan walked out and was stopped by Wang Daya as soon as he reached the door.
"Comrade Zhong, Comrade Yan, do you want to go out for a walk?"
Zhong Yuxiu looked back and saw Wang Daya standing at the kitchen door, holding a tray in both hands; fruits and snacks could be vaguely seen on the tray. It would have been fine if she hadn't seen them, but as soon as she saw them, her mouth watered and she wanted to eat!
"Put it on the coffee table and use it when you come back." He pulled the person into his arms and said, "Let's go. You can't eat it even if you look at it. You have to go for a walk before you can eat it."
"Comrade Zhong, Comrade Yan, take care." Wang Daya turned and went into the kitchen, avoiding Zhong Yuxiu's gaze.
Yan Rushan expressed his satisfaction with this, saying that people with good vision would not be annoying.
Zhong Yuxiu's eyes twitched unhappily. "Is it not enough to just take a look? I'll take this piece away."
People do things!
"Let's go out for half an hour and come back. If you delay for one more minute now, you will be one minute late in getting your meal."
"Let's go, let's go." The three babies in the belly are my ancestors.
The couple walked out of the house and walked around it four times. Because she walked slowly, it took them barely half an hour to complete the four circles. Yan Rushan helped her back home. There was no fruit or juice on the coffee table. Wang Daya must have put it in the kitchen.
"Sit down and rest for a while. I'll get you some hot water to wash your face." After walking around for a few times, she had a thin layer of sweat on her face from carrying such a big burden.
Zhong Yuxiu glanced at Wang Daya carrying a tray and immediately smiled. She pushed Yan Rushan and said, "Okay, go quickly."
Yan Rushan looked back and understood. He reminded her to wash her face and hands before eating, then went to the bathroom. He got hot water and put a towel in the basin, wrung it out and wiped her face.
Wang Daya stood in front of the coffee table. After receiving Yan Rushan's signal, she handed the tray to Yuxiu.
"Comrade Zhong, enjoy your meal. We have prepared some Tremella Soup and Bird's Nest Soup for you in the kitchen. They will be delivered to you later. If you want to eat anything else, I will make it for you." She had been in the Zhong family for more than half a month and had already learned what she needed to do, with the guidance of Goudan, Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong. She was also used to this job and learned it quickly.
"Not yet. By the way, are there any pears at home?"
Wang Daya nodded, "Yes, pears are good for the lungs during this season. I bought some when I went shopping."
"Then stew some rock sugar pears for me, and cook them slowly. It's best to hollow out the pears, remove the cores, and stuff some rock sugar inside." The rock sugar pears cooked this way will be sweet and refreshing, and the sweetness will not be lost in the soup, while still bringing out all the benefits of the rock sugar pears.
"I understand. Don't worry, this is how I make rock sugar snow pears."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "My throat has been a little dry these past two days. The weather is dry, so I'll make some stew for Brother Yan as well."
"I don't need it." Yan Rushan waved his hand, "I don't like eating that stuff, don't waste it."
"No, you have to eat with me." She was so arrogant and self-righteous that there was no point in arguing.
Yan Rushan opened his mouth to speak, but Zhong Yuxiu interrupted him with a curled lip. "You said something was good for the body, but I ate it even though I didn't like it. Rock sugar and snow pears are good for the body and can be used by both men and women, yet you still don't eat them."
"Okay, okay, I'll eat it. I'll eat it, okay? I really can't do anything about you." His tone was doting and indulgent, making Zhong Yuxiu look a little uneasy, but she felt quite satisfied. "That's right, rock sugar and snow pear moisturize the lungs and throat, and it has many health benefits. If you have a cough and a sore throat, stewing some and eating it is better than taking medicine, right?"
All medicines are poisonous to some extent. Of course, her repair fluid is non-toxic; otherwise, it would not have the medicinal power to repair the body and stimulate its vitality.
Yan Rushan said helplessly: "I can't convince you. If you want me to eat, then I will eat."
"That's right!" Her brows were frivolous and she smiled sweetly.
Seeing this, Yan Rushan smiled and raised his hand to stroke her hair. "Auntie Wang, since you want to stew rock sugar snow pears, then make a few more. You can have one too, and you should also prepare a portion for grandpa, so he can eat it when he comes back."
"OK."
Wang Daya responded with a smile and turned back to the kitchen.
Gu Lingguo put the washed vegetables on the stove and said, "Comrade Wang, I have washed the vegetables. Is there anything else I can do?"
"I have cut the meat too." Fang Guozhong showed it to her.
"It's okay, you guys can go out, Comrade Gong and I will take care of the rest." Wang Daya understood after just one glance.
Gong Zhaodi nodded in response, "Yes, the ingredients are ready, we can help."
"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy, I'll go out first." Gu Lingguo left quickly, followed closely by Fang Guozhong. Before they came to the Zhong family, they seldom went into the kitchen, but when they came to the Zhong family, they went in more often to help Goudan.
After Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi came, Goudan was relieved of his duties and only occasionally went to the kitchen to cook some of Comrade Zhong's favorite foods. The kitchen affairs were completely handed over to these two aunts, and the same was true for housework.
"Comrade Zhong, Comrade Yan." The two walked out of the kitchen and saw Yan Rushan holding a plate to make it convenient for Zhong Yuxiu to take the food; Zhong Yuxiu ate with relish and Yan Rushan was very accommodating.
Zhong Yuxiu looked up at them and asked, "Are you done?"
"The ingredients for dinner are ready, so we're coming out." Fang Guozhong said.
Gu Lingguo nodded, "Tonight I'll make stewed pork ribs with lotus root, and your favorite braised pork, Kung Pao chicken, and red oil beef; and two stir-fried vegetables."
"Have your fill." Zhong Yuxiu didn't bother asking about the delicious food. She was drooling just thinking about the beef, not to mention the other dishes. The little one in her belly was stretching out its arms and legs, as if wanting to eat too. "Brother Yan, our baby is moving again. It seems to be moving very frequently in the past two weeks."
Yan Rushan looked down, then reached out and felt for a while. He found that there were indeed little hands and feet kicking. Knowing that when the children stretched out their hands and feet, it would hurt his wife, he was not happy. He whispered, "Stop making trouble. You are making your mother uncomfortable."
The little ones didn't listen to him at all and moved even more diligently.
"If you keep making trouble, I'll beat you up when you come out."
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled, she didn't believe what he said; she still remembered how ecstatic he was when she first became pregnant.
"After the baby is born, you can't bear to hit him." The baby was tossing and turning so violently, there was no way for him to say anything harsh!
"I'll spank them when they come out. They're not obedient at all." Yan Rushan said it very seriously, and Zhong Yuxiu just listened.
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong walked away on their own accord, not wanting to be a third wheel. They went to the bathroom to wash their hands and then went to the dining room, leaving the hall space for the couple.
The couple was talking when Xi Nian's voice was heard.
"Is Comrade Zhong home? I'm coming in."
"Comrade Xi is here, please come in." Zhong Yuxiu supported herself on the sofa with both hands and tried to get up.
Yan Rushan lent her a hand and helped her stand up. After they walked a few steps, Xi Nian entered the hall.
