Old Master Cheng was pleased. Even without the fish, his precious granddaughter could still make all kinds of delicious dishes that were not inferior to fish meat.
In the end, he still won!
Su Yayan saw that Old Master Cheng’s expression had eased a little. After eating the Yuxiang Shredded Pork, he turned to the boiled beef and didn’t need her to coax him anymore.
As soon as she turned around, she met Qin Xueru’s pitiful gaze as she stared at the braised food and Yuxiang Shredded Pork. She could not help but laugh and pushed the braised pork belly, potato ribs, seaweed beef,
chestnut chicken, and other dishes in front of her.
“Aunt Qin, eat these first. The wolfberry black chicken soup is still stewing on the stove. You can have a bowl of soup after you finish it. Don’t eat this Yuxiang Shredded Pork for now. If you still want to eat it after the
baby is born, I’ll make it for you.”
Qin Xueru’s face turned red. She did not dare to look at the other dishes and focused on eating her pregnant food.
Su Yayan was worried that Huo Chenhuan was still not used to being here. After that, she helped him with the dishes, wishing she could pile his bowl into a steeple.
Huo Chenhuan followed Qin Xueru and Cheng Junhao around the courtyard while Su Yayan was cooking. He was no longer as distant as before.
He accepted Su Yayan’s special treatment without any worries. At the same time, he returned the favor and loaded her plate with a mountain of food.
Cheng Junhao pursed his lips as he watched the two of them start feeding each other. He looked at his wife with a sorrowful gaze.
The corners of Qin Xueru’s mouth twitched. She resigned herself to fate and touched his head. She also picked up a prawn and placed it in his bowl.
Cheng Junhao was instantly revived and started eating the prawns happily.
Old Master Cheng, who had witnessed this scene not far away, “…” How did he give birth to such a useless son!
Looking at the leftover braised food on the table, Old Master Cheng’s mood fell to rock bottom.
Su Yayan saw through his thoughts and smiled helplessly. “Grandpa, Chenhuan and | are going to stay here for a month or two. Are you afraid that you won’t have enough to eat?”
Stunned, Old Master Cheng pondered for a moment and smiled again.
After dinner, Su Yayan brought Huo Chenhuan back to her room.
Su Yayan would stay with the Cheng family for a period of time every year. Hence, the Cheng family had a room for her to stay in. Even if she didn’t come, it was always empty.
Su Yayan pulled Huo Chenhuan into the room. She looked around and confirmed that everything they needed were in the room. The furniture was also in place.
“This dressing table and this bed were left by my grandmother for me. She said that they were made according to the traditional bed and dressing table that girls used to have when they were married. Is it nice?”
Huo Chenhuan looked in the direction Su Yayan was pointing at and saw the huge bed and dressing table in the corner. His eyes sparkled and he smiled faintly. “It looks good.”
Su Yayan pulled Huo Chenhuan to sit on the bed. She touched the peony flower carved on the side of the bed and chuckled. “My grandmother said that she wanted to give this bed to my mother as her dowry. However,
C City is too far from A City, so she could only leave it at home. After my mother gave birth to me, this bed naturally belonged to me.”
“You’ve been sleeping in this room since you came here?”
“Mm.” Su Yayan nodded. “I spent most of my time here before I was seven. At that time, Aunt was worried that I would be afraid of the dark at night, so she often came to sleep with me and tell me stories.”
“What stories did she tell you?”
Su Yayan leaned against the bedpost and yawned. “Just some fairy tales, such as Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.”.
