Chapter 758 You win!
Chapter 758 You win!
It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others. Although we are of the same age, I have become an old lady while others are getting younger and younger.
The car soon arrived at the Jiang family.
After getting off the car, Fu Ling habitually looked towards the yard where he once lived.
"I heard from Jiang Yan that not long after you left, someone was assigned to live there."
"Have you had any contact with that family?" Fu Ling asked.
Xiang Yi shook her head: "No, I've never seen her in the time I've been here. I heard from Mrs. Qin that she never goes out and never cooks at home. It's always Deputy Captain Zhang who brings food back from the cafeteria for her."
Fu Ling was surprised: "What if Deputy Captain Zhang goes on a mission?"
"When we're on a mission, Deputy Commander Zhang will ask the orderly to help deliver a meal."
"Awesome, is the deputy leader's family in this chapter socially anxious?"
"What are you two talking about? Why don't you come into the house? What are you whispering about?" Seeing that the two of them didn't move for a long time, Fu Ma asked curiously.
"Here we are." The two looked at each other, smiled, and walked into the house arm in arm.
As they walked, Fu Ling asked Xiang Yi, "How is Mrs. Qin's work in the fishing village?"
"She's not bad. She can already handle things on her own. I plan to promote her to be in charge of accounting in the near future."
Fu Ling nodded: "Well, it's up to you to decide on this matter."
"I'm not planning on listening to your opinion. As the boss, I have no right to make decisions."
Fu Ling was not annoyed, but nodded with a playful smile: "Yes, yes, what Boss Xiang said is right."
"By the way, are you still having morning sickness?"
"I don't anymore, thanks to the medicine you left for me. It's really miraculous. Ever since I took the medicine you left for me, my morning sickness has gone away, and my appetite has gradually improved. At the beginning, I was vomiting so much that I forgot about the medicine you told me to take. It took me several days to remember it."
Xiangyi now feels stomach discomfort when she thinks back to those days. She vomited everything she ate. Even drinking water would make her vomit several times. It was so painful.
"I've specifically reminded you, but you still forgot. Who can you blame?"
"You gave me so many things when you left, it's understandable that I didn't remember them for a moment." Xiang Yi said guiltily.
"Did you take the supplements given to you on time?"
"Yes, you told me to, so of course I have to eat it." Xiangyi looked flattering.
Fu Ling glared at her and said, "That's more than enough. Okay, I'll cook dinner tonight."
"That won't do. It's been a long time since you've eaten my cooking. I have to show you my cooking skills today."
"You are pregnant now."
"What's wrong with being pregnant? It's not like I haven't been pregnant before. It's only a few months old, and your belly isn't even bulging. What's there to be afraid of? Just stay and help me."
Seeing Xiangyi so insistent, Fu Ling had no choice but to follow her.
"Why didn't you bring little Keke with you this time?"
"I wanted to, but my mom wouldn't let me. She said I was still pregnant and it wouldn't be convenient to take care of the little one, so I had to leave the baby at home for her to take care of it."
Fu Ling jokingly said, "That's good too. It allows you and Brother Yan to have some time together."
Xiang Yi glanced at her sideways and said, "What's the point of just being a couple? We're already an old married couple, why would we still care about these things?"
"Come on, Brother Yan wants to follow you around 24 hours a day. Do you think I don't know?"
Xiang Yi chuckled: "You can tell Jiang Yan this in person when he comes back."
"You think I don't dare?" Fu Ling replied proudly.
"Okay, you are awesome!"
"It's not a question of whether you're awesome or not. If it weren't for my auxiliary artifact, would you two have had a second child so quickly? Believe it or not, even if I pointed at Brother Yan's nose and scolded him, he wouldn't even say a word back."
"Stop! You win." Xiang Yi quickly surrendered. If she continued, who knows what would come out of this girl's mouth.
The two of them didn't stay in the room for too long. They had been in the car for several hours and had a simple lunch. Xiangyi made a bowl of noodles for each of them, which was paired with her homemade seafood sauce and was so delicious that they couldn't stop eating.
Mr. Qu praised it highly: "I didn't expect Xiaoyi's cooking skills to be so good. I am so lucky to have such a good meal today. This trip to the island was not in vain."
"I haven't done it for a long time and I'm a little rusty. Please don't be offended, Mr. Qu." Xiangyi said modestly.
"The simplest ingredients can often best reflect a person's cooking skills. A simple bowl of noodles can have all the right colors, aromas and flavors. Not everyone can do that. Whether it's the chewiness of the noodles or the seasoning, they're all just right." Mr. Qu gave a high evaluation.
Sanbao just buried his head in eating, and silence was the best expression.
Mother Fu didn't feel much about it, after all, she often ate Xiangyi's cooking.
"Mr. Qu, you're so easily satisfied just by a bowl of noodles. Xiaoyi's cooking skills are far more than that."
"Really? Then I'm in for a treat today, right?"
Mr. Qu used to have no requirements for food, as long as he could eat his fill.
They didn't have so many seasonings back then. If their cooking skills were not good enough, they could use seasonings to neutralize the food. In that era, it was good to have salt. Even oil was not affordable for every household.
Even some poor families may not be able to eat oily food all year round.
Over time, eating is just for living, so people become less picky about taste.
During the time I was at the Lu family, I found that my lost sense of taste seemed to have revived. Now I found it difficult to swallow anything I ate that tasted bad. To put it more bluntly, I had become a picky eater.
It really proves the saying that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. If he were to live the same life as before, he probably wouldn't be able to get used to it.
"Mr. Qu, Auntie, you guys eat first. I'll go prepare the dishes." After saying that, he stood up and went to the kitchen to busy himself.
"Wait! I'll help you!" Fu Ling finished the noodles in the bowl in a few mouthfuls, leaving not even any soup.
"I'm done, Mr. Qu, Mom...you guys take your time eating, I'll go help Yiyi prepare the food."
"Okay, you go first, I'll come help you after I finish eating."
There were many people eating dinner in the evening, so Xiangyi prepared a rich variety of ingredients, including everything that could fly in the sky, run on the ground, or swim in the water.
The two were stunned when they entered the kitchen. All the ingredients needed were ready.
"Could this be done by Brother Yan?"
Xiang Yi smiled and said, "Who else could it be but him? He will probably come back at noon to deal with it."
"Oh, you're still talking about being an old married couple. Look how good they are to you. They're afraid you'll get tired, so they specially cleaned the ingredients beforehand. Honestly, Brother Yan is a truly wonderful man."
Xiangyi's mouth felt sweeter than honey.
All the ingredients have been processed, even the vegetables have been cleaned.
"Lingling, go chop these vegetables and I'll stew the soup."
"As you wish, Chef Xiang."
When Fu Ma came in, she saw that the ingredients had already been prepared and there was no use for her at all. Finally, Fu Ling pushed her out of the kitchen and asked her to go and chat with someone she knew. After all, this opportunity was rare and she didn't know when she would be able to come to the island next time.
