Chapter 164 Dinner Conversation 1
"I see. I'm leaving now. Thank you, Yike." Zhang Xiuying lifted up the hem of her skirt, covered the noodles and sugar with it, and walked quickly home. People hadn't gone home from work yet, so it was not easy to run into people.
"Honey, why did Dad come back so soon? Is there something wrong in the mountains?" Yike was a little worried about what was going on in the mountains.
"It should be fine. If anything happens, Dad will go to the city to find us. Maybe he's worried about us since we've been out for a long time this time." Ziyi thought for a while and analyzed.
Sure enough, when Li Haoran came back from work and saw Ziyi and Yike, he said, "Why haven't you returned to the mountains for so long? Your mother is very worried and has been nagging me to come out and take a look every day."
When I calculated the time carefully, I didn't expect that it had been almost two months since I came out of the mountains. There are so many days extra than the original half month plan. No wonder Zhang Yuling's mother is worried.
Mainly because I have been busy every day for the past month, saving my sister, preparing for the wedding, getting married, fighting, and recuperating. This month has been so exciting compared to the time in the mountains that I have forgotten the time.
"Dad, we encountered some trouble when we got out." Ziyi looked at the man who had protected his original body all his life, and felt a little sad for him, because the person he protected disappeared without him noticing.
In fact, he was also very confused and didn't know how he came here. The original body was only slightly injured that time, and the injury was not serious. Although some blood was shed, with the original body's strong body, he could have held on. How could he be gone just like that? Otherwise, how could I have traveled through time and space? According to Yike, he had traveled through time a long time ago, but his memories had not all been restored. Where did the original body's soul go? Is it still in the body? Will it suddenly pop up again one day? Just like last time, my soul suddenly left my body. No, I will never allow this to happen. I want to live a happy life with Yi Ke in this life.
"Ziyi, what happened? What are you thinking about? Why did you stop talking?" Li Haoran asked curiously.
"It's okay, Dad. Go wash up first. We'll talk after dinner." Ziyi said.
"Has the calf been fed grass? If not, I'll go feed it first and then wash it." Li Haoran was about to step into the room but stepped back.
Ziyi closed the gate and said, "We fed the calf when we got back. We happened to run into Auntie who was also feeding the cow. Yike gave Auntie a bag of candy and a handful of noodles to thank her for taking care of the calf during this time."
"You did a great job, I should be thanked. I'm going to take a shower now, I get hungry really fast from working."
For dinner that night, we had steamed radish and pork rolls. Since the fried pork tasted too good, we decided to wrap the pork in radish leaves and steam it. This way the taste was not so strong, but it still tasted good. Now that Ziyi has recovered his memory, Yike dares to make the recipes he learned in his previous life. She no longer has to pretend that she can't cook, and it won't be so hard for her to pretend. It's hard to pretend that you can't cook when you obviously can. People who have not had this experience will not be able to understand the feeling of being suffocated.
"What kind of dish is this? It's so delicious when cooked like this. Where did Yi Ke learn how to make it? Go back and teach your mother how to make it, so that everyone will enjoy it in the future." Li Haoran couldn't stop eating after taking one bite, and spoke vaguely while eating.
Ziyi and Yike looked at each other and smiles appeared in their eyes.
Ziyi: "Dad, I went to the city this time and learned a lot of cooking methods from the chef. I will teach them all to mom when we return to the mountains."
Li Haoran: "You are so lucky. Many masters' skills are not passed on to others. Your master is willing to teach you. You should thank him."
Yi Ke: "Dad, I have someone to thank. I bought two bottles of good wine, and also gave him more than ten kilograms of our wolf meat."
Li Haoran: "That's good. We should be grateful and repay kindness. Ziyi, when I came back, you said that you were delayed by something. What was it?"
Ziyi: "Dad, Yike had a sister who was very good to her. Do you remember this?"
Li Haoran: "I remember, her sister was the only one who treated her well. What happened? Did something happen to her sister?"
Ziyi: "Yes, her mother locked her up and wanted to marry her to a man who could be her father. She was worried about Yike, so she secretly wrote a letter to Yike, and that's how we found out."
"She asked Yike to go and rescue him. Isn't she afraid that Yike would be sacrificed as well?" Li Haoran said angrily.
Ziyi explained: "No, she just told Yi Ke not to go back to look for her. She was afraid that if Yi Ke went back to look for her, he would be caught by her mother and locked up and sold."
Li Haoran became even angrier: "That woman is such a jerk. Yike, is your sister the biological daughter of that woman? Is she not her biological daughter like you?"
Yi Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head, "They are biological children. They look very similar. People like Yang Huaihua have a serious preference for boys over girls. As long as it is good for her son, she will even sell out her daughter."
Li Haoran: "This is outrageous. Their team leader just doesn't care? They are lawless? What era is this? This is not the era before liberation. Human trafficking is illegal."
Ziyi picked up a meat and vegetable roll for Yike with chopsticks and said, "The captain didn't know anything at all. After we got there, we had to use a little trick to expose the woman's true identity."
"One person from a squadron is missing, and no one noticed? Are those people blind?"
"No, it's mainly because Yang Huaihua is too cunning. She claimed to others that her daughter was sick and couldn't be seen by the wind. How could outsiders care about it? Besides, she is the kind of person who likes to make trouble for no reason and can't get rid of her once she's pestered. Who would care about her family affairs?" Yike explained.
"It's outrageous that there are such people in the world." Li Haoran said angrily.
After a pause, Li Haoran continued to ask: "How did you deal with it later?"
Ziyi and Yike talked about the series of events that followed in detail, except for the fight and the black market.
Li Haoran said jokingly, "I didn't expect you to encounter so many things this time. It's like filming a movie, and you are the protagonists. It's very exciting. No wonder your mother is worried. Each of these is a big deal, and you two handled it. You didn't even come in to inform us about such a big thing as getting married."
Ziyi apologized, "I'm sorry, Dad. We didn't go back to the mountain because we thought it would take a long time to get in and out of the mountain."
Yi Ke also hurriedly said in a flattering tone: "Dad, I left a lot of wedding candies for you. I thought I would bring them in for you and mom when we go into the mountains so that everyone can share in the good fortune. Haha!"
