Once heated in the steamer for a while, the aroma of the meat buns became even stronger, making the little guy's eyes light up with envy.
Seeing the little one's reaction, Su Jingjing pinched her cheek. After feeding her for so long, she had finally gained some weight.
She chuckled softly, "Yuanyuan, it'll be ready to eat soon."
Li Yuanyuan lowered her head in embarrassment. Would her mother dislike her for being greedy?
Su Jingjing assumed that the little guy was just not used to her closeness yet, but she didn't expect that the little guy had so many plans in his mind.
Two minutes later, Su Jingjing reached her hand into the steamer and accidentally burned herself.
"hiss…"
Li Yuanyuan exclaimed, "Mom..."
Hearing the commotion inside, Li Hanting, who was outside the door, immediately appeared in the kitchen and grabbed Su Jingjing's hand, saying, "Let me see."
A pair of plump, white hands without calluses came into view, and a strange feeling flashed through his mind.
Two of his fingers were scalded red, and Li Hanting quickly used cold water to reduce the burning sensation.
"How are you feeling? Any more comfortable?"
Su Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized, "I feel much better."
She found the man's hands even hotter.
Actually, she felt there was no need to make such a fuss, as the burning sensation in her fingers would dissipate soon.
Li Cheng'an stood next to his younger sister, secretly glancing at his mother's hand with a smug look in his eyes; it did seem a little red.
I remember the last time he got burned, his whole finger was burning.
The family of four seemed to have forgotten about the steamed buns in the steamer.
Li Yuanyuan tiptoed, trying to see her mother's fingers. It was all because she was greedy that her mother was in such a hurry to lift the steamer lid.
"Mommy, does it hurt a lot? Let Yuanyuan blow on it for you."
Just then, Su Jingjing withdrew her hand. "Mom, it's okay. Go eat some steamed buns with your brother."
Li Hanting swiftly carried the steamed buns from the steamer to the dining table, gesturing for the two children to eat first.
He then walked towards the room and took out a medicine bottle and bandages.
"Sit down, let me apply some medicine for you."
ah?
The man, dressed in military uniform, exuded an imposing aura of 1.88 meters. Su Jingjing blushed and stammered, "No...no need, it'll go away soon."
Seeing her mother behaving so disobediently, Li Yuanyuan sighed inwardly, "Mom, let Dad help you apply the medicine. Yuanyuan is worried."
The little guy's actions warmed Su Jingjing's heart. "Okay, Mom will put on the medicine. Come and eat some steamed buns with your brother. You still have a nap later."
Li Hanting squatted down in front of her. This tough and unyielding man was incredibly tender at this moment. Su Jingjing quickly looked away, afraid that she would be drawn into his emotions.
She felt somewhat uncomfortable in front of her two children.
She had never been so close to a man before, not even to the jerks she had dated before, with whom she had never even held hands.
Seeing the band-aid on her finger, Su Jingjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How was she going to cook dinner tonight?
Clearly, Li Hanting had also thought of this. "I'll come back early this afternoon and cook with you."
The next second, the brat blew him away, "Huh? Dad, you're going to cook?"
Li Cheng'an wore a look of disgust on his face. He still remembered the terrible cooking his father made; it was simply inedible.
Li Hanting subconsciously met Su Jingjing's ambiguous smile, clenched his fist to his mouth, and said casually, "I can help wash the vegetables, so please don't get your hands wet."
Original owner, do you even know what a wonderful man you abandoned?
The two children each devoured a large meat bun, their bellies round and full.
After the two children went inside for their afternoon nap, Su Jingjing and her husband quietly ate their meat buns.
Mmm...it smells so good!
The meat buns of the 1980s were made with high-quality ingredients, and each one was as big as the palm of your hand. No wonder we often heard that in those impoverished times, being able to eat meat buns was a very happy thing.
Li Hanting's eyes kept glancing at Su Jingjing, making it hard for her to ignore him, so she simply faced the man directly.
Why are you staring at me?
The man showed no embarrassment at being caught red-handed. He put down the steamed bun and asked in a deep voice, "You just said your car had an accident on the road. Are you alright?"
Su Jingjing paused in her chewing; Li Hanting's actions today were completely unlike his usual style.
Did he also have a different core?
"I'm fine."
The atmosphere was too silent. Su Jingjing couldn't withstand the man's gaze and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, you won't say I'm wasting money by buying so many things, will you?"
I was carrying things back when I ran into Wu Xiuying again, but she just pursed her lips and turned away.
Su Jingjing thought she was going to hear Wu Xiuying's nagging again.
The book says that Li Hanting doesn't have much of a feeling for money, which may be related to the environment he grew up in. Otherwise, the original owner would have squandered money so lavishly, and he never said a word about it.
She was just unhappy that the original owner hadn't spent a single penny on the two children.
"No, as long as you spend money reasonably, you can spend as much as you want."
Li Hanting knew exactly what was in the bag. She no longer bought clothes blindly, but instead considered the family's needs.
He actually wanted to ask the man for information, but he found it difficult to bring himself to do so.
After listening to the man's words, Su Jingjing became carefree again and focused on eating the steamed bun in her hand.
After lunch break, Su Jingjing noticed that the sunlight outside didn't seem so strong, so she casually took a thin shirt from the closet, put it on, and wore a hat issued by the team before opening the door and going out.
The original owner's face was slightly sallow due to lack of skincare, but the rest of her skin was fair and smooth, which was what Su Jingjing was most satisfied with.
If she loses weight, she will definitely be more beautiful than in her previous life.
Arriving at the vegetable garden, she saw Sister Qiu Rong busy at work and greeted her, "Sister Qiu Rong, are you watering the plants?"
Huang Qiurong heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice, straightened up and turned her head.
Seeing Su Jingjing dressed in full armor, I was slightly surprised.
The next second, I realized that she might be afraid of getting sunburned. After all, it's undeniable that Su Jingjing is very fair-skinned, to the point of being translucent.
"Yes, let's hurry over and water the seedlings while the sun isn't too strong yet."
The sun in May can scorch a person, let alone a weak seedling that cannot withstand wind and rain. It needs to be watered every two days.
Huang Qiurong hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you here to water the plants too?"
Seeing that Su Jingjing wasn't carrying any tools, she guessed that she had also come to water the plants.
Su Jingjing nodded, walked to the corner, picked up a small bucket, filled it with water, and watered the seedlings.
Seeing that Su Jingjing's movements were quite skillful, Huang Qiurong couldn't help but feel even more satisfied with her.
So she didn't believe Lao Wang's guess at all at noon.
"Jingjing, I saw Commander Li go to get lunch at noon. Didn't you cook at home today?"
Su Jingjing paused in her watering motion, immediately understanding the unspoken meaning in Qiu Rong's words.
However, she didn't hold a grudge. After all, Sister Qiu Rong was rather aloof, and the fact that she asked her meant that she cared about her.
