The next day, when Lin Qingmei woke up, He Xufeng was still sleeping soundly. She didn't know when he returned to his room last night, but he hadn't come back when she went to bed.
Lin Qingmei got out of bed quietly, afraid of waking him up.
Coming to the kitchen, she planned to cook some noodles for breakfast and make a few pancakes to take on board.
She had just finished frying the eggs when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw He Xufeng standing at the kitchen door, rubbing his eyes. "Good morning." His voice was still a little hoarse.
"Morning, go wash up quickly, my pancakes will be ready soon."
He Xufeng responded and went out of the yard with the mouthwash cup and towel. There was a pool in the yard where he usually brushed his teeth, washed his face, and washed vegetables.
At this time, He's father who went out for training and He Qi who went to the cafeteria to get food also came back.
"Mom, why did you go to the canteen to get breakfast? Qingmei has already made it at home." He Xufeng thought that He Mei had not gotten up yet, but he didn't expect that she got up so early the next day.
He Ji slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot to tell Qingmei, luckily I hit steamed buns yesterday."
After saying that, he hurried into the kitchen, where Lin Qingmei had already fried more than a dozen scallion pancakes.
He Yi's eyes lit up when she saw the pancakes being baked in the pan. How did her daughter-in-law know that she would like this? "Qingmei's cooking skills are really good. They look delicious."
"Mom, why did you come back from outside? Did you go to the canteen to get this steamed bun?" Lin Qingmei was also surprised to see He Yi holding the steamed bun. When she got up, she saw that no one was at home and thought that everyone was still asleep!
"I'm going back home tomorrow, so I thought I'd go to the canteen to get some steamed buns to eat. If I eat porridge in the morning, I'll get hungry quickly, and I'll have to find a toilet on the way."
He Yi saw that the oil tank was empty, and felt a little distressed. Qingmei was such a spendthrift, she actually used so much oil to fry a pancake.
But considering that it was the first time for her daughter-in-law to come to her house, she resisted the urge to preach.
"I was thinking of cooking some noodles, but since you brought back steamed buns, let's have pancakes and steamed buns for breakfast." Lin Qingmei put the noodles she had just taken out back. Since there was no need to cook noodles, they could have breakfast now.
After He Xufeng came back after washing up, everyone sat together to have breakfast.
He's father took a bite of the pancake and nodded with satisfaction, "This pancake is really delicious, much better than the steamed buns in the cafeteria."
"Qingmei is a good cook, so of course the pancakes she makes are delicious." He Mi finished a pancake in just a few bites. It didn't matter if she used a little oil for such delicious pancakes. She had already forgotten how distressed she felt when she saw the oil tank was empty just now.
After dinner, we packed up and prepared to go out for the boat ride.
Outside the door, He's father's special car was already waiting. It was nearly ten miles away from the military dock and only took twenty minutes to drive.
By the time the group arrived at the pier, the boat they were on had already started checking tickets.
He Xufeng held Lin Qingmei's hand tightly, fearing that she would be separated by the crowd.
After finally getting on the boat and sitting down, Lin Qingmei heaved a sigh of relief.
He Xufeng leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Are you tired? Lean on me and take a nap."
Lin Qingmei nodded, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. "Then I'll sleep for a while. I got up a little early yesterday, and I'm a little sleepy now."
Lin Qingmei leaned against He Xufeng, closed her eyes, and fell asleep soon.
The boat was a little bumpy during the journey, and He Xufeng held her steadily to prevent her from bumping into anything.
