Xiao Yubai nodded, "Okay, I'll cook some for lunch and see if it tastes as good as porridge." As he spoke, he picked up a steamed bun for her and ate one himself.
The steamed buns tasted good; they had the aroma of flour and vegetables, and they were sweet too. They were delicious. I can make some more for my wife tomorrow morning.
After breakfast, An Shuyi went to the deck to sunbathe and read for a while. The morning sun was warm and comfortable, which she enjoyed, and the baby in her belly also liked it.
Xia Hua and Cheng Yumo called the next day to say that they had arrived at the port and would be there soon.
When they came up, An Shuyi asked, "Huahua, what's your house like? Are there a lot of people coming to join in the fun?"
She guessed there would be a lot of people, all crowding around to watch the excitement, since Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia finding their daughter was definitely a joyous occasion.
Xia Hua nodded, "It was quite lively. As soon as we arrived at the village entrance, we were surrounded by the villagers. Everyone was very excited to learn that their daughter, who had been missing for many years, had been found. Before long, everyone on the bus came to join in the fun."
“It’s a good thing you didn’t go, otherwise you definitely wouldn’t have been able to stay, especially since the village is quite backward and the roads haven’t been repaired yet. Considering how they helped my parents back then, I invested two million to repair the roads for them.”
"Although I won't be coming back, the kindness I've shown them still exists. I'll repay whatever I can, and those villagers are kind to me too." If it weren't for their initial loan, I don't know how my parents would have gotten through their difficult time. Even though the money has been repaid, I still feel obligated to help.
Although her parents and the villagers thought she had a lot of money, in her eyes it was just a piece of jewelry that was a bit expensive. If it could help others, she would consider it as accumulating good fortune for Shushu, since it was her money anyway.
“That’s good. Since they are in trouble, it’s okay to help them appropriately. Is two million enough? Should we invest a little more?” An Shuyi asked.
"That's enough. It's just road repair and installing some streetlights. If the whole village works together, it won't cost that much."
She has also done the calculations and will not invest blindly.
"That's good. Then let's begin our honeymoon trip. We'll visit all the cities in the country in a few months."
"Sure, let's travel all over the country." Since it's their honeymoon anyway, once they've returned from their trip, the company building will be completed and furnished, and then we can start working on opening the company.
During dinner, Xia Hua looked at the dishes on the table and asked An Shuyi with a puzzled expression, "Have you been feeling unwell these past few days?"
If she weren't feeling unwell, these dishes wouldn't be so bland. Shushu likes to eat oily and spicy food, and she already disliked the previous meals. This is even more bland, with white rice picked from the Little World.
There were also steamed colorful buns, rice cakes, boiled corn and radish soup, crystal cakes, so many dishes, but not a drop of oil, not even meat.
Xiao Yubai explained from the side, "It's my fault. I caught a few fish from the lake the day before yesterday and cooked them for Shushu. She didn't even eat them before she smelled the fishy smell and threw up. She hasn't dared to eat anything oily these past two days."
His wife hasn't been eating oily food these past few days, so he hasn't cooked any either. He's been racking his brains every day to make her oil-free meals, which are bland but still taste pretty good.
"It wasn't cleaned properly, or there's something wrong with the fish." Logically speaking, Yu Bai's cooking skills are quite good; he's cooked so many fish before without any fishy smell. It's impossible that there's a problem this time.
"It was cleaned very well and there was no fishy smell when it was cooked, but I smelled it later and there was a muddy smell. Maybe Shushu couldn't stand it and vomited. You can make do with what you have, or take some out of the warehouse to eat."
My wife doesn't eat oily food, so I can only ask them to make do with what they have, or eat what's stored in the warehouse.
Xia Hua shook her head, "No need, these are fine." She picked up a piece of rice cake. Besides the aroma of rice, there was also a light fragrance. She took a bite and found it sweet but not cloying, soft and fluffy. It was quite good.
It seems that Yu Bai has put a lot of thought into getting Shu Shu to eat more.
After finishing their meal, the group parted ways and went back to their houses to rest.
The next morning, Xiao Yubai got up early and made breakfast. Cheng Yumo drove the cruise ship to X City, which would take a day. However, they arrived in the evening and could only enter the city the next day.
After docking the cruise ship at the port, we rested on it for the night. The next morning, we got ready and set off for city X for sightseeing. We didn't decide where to go; we just went wherever we heard was fun.
"So, it turns out that there are people in this world who wear ancient costumes too," Cheng Yumo said to Xia Hua.
When he set off in the morning, he saw his wife wearing a traditional Chinese dress, her hair styled in a traditional Chinese updo, and adorned with hair ornaments. At that moment, he felt as if he were seeing his wife from ancient times, the principal wife of a wealthy family.
He was initially puzzled, wondering if it was appropriate to go out dressed like this, since it was something worn in ancient times. But seeing so many people wearing it on the street, he realized it was indeed possible.
"Of course! We have not only ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), but also Hanfu (traditional Han clothing), mamianqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and many other ethnic costumes. You'll see when you see them," Xia Hua explained.
They chose to wear these clothes today not only because they look good and because they haven't worn them in a long time, but also because they came here to take photos. If they come all this way and don't get any photos, then it's a wasted trip.
"Hello, miss, may I take a picture with you? Your dress is so beautiful." Suddenly, a girl appeared in front of us and said.
She is so beautiful, not only beautiful but also very imposing, just like the empress in TV dramas. Although she is not wearing the empress's dress, but just a simple ruqun, she exudes a powerful aura just by standing there.
Xia Hua glanced at her and directly refused, "I'm sorry, I don't like taking pictures with other people. You should find someone else!"
Aside from taking photos with Shushu, she has only taken photos with Yumo, and those were wedding photos. She doesn't have any other ordinary photos, so how could she possibly take photos with other people?
The girl was a little disappointed, but she still smiled and said, "Okay, sorry to bother you."
It's a real pity. I thought I could take a picture with the girl, but I didn't expect I couldn't. But it's still good to be able to chat. The girl is indeed very domineering. Even a simple sentence has such a powerful presence.
She turned back, feeling a pang of regret, but quickly lost her disappointment because she saw an even more beautiful young woman. My goodness, words like "stunningly beautiful" were insufficient to describe her beauty; only the most beautiful words in the world could do justice to her.
Just standing there, her beauty was captivating enough. It seems today was her lucky day, seeing two beauties in just a few minutes.
"Drool is dripping down."
An Shuyi looked at the girl in front of her and couldn't help but remind her. She had heard what the girl and Hua Hua were talking about. She thought the girl would be angry, but not only was she not angry, she was also drooling over her. How could she be so cute?
