Chapter 74 Daily life after marriage
After sending He Daqing away, He Yuzhu returned home with Yuyu.
Today is Saturday, Yuyu does not need to go to class, and He Yuzhu and Song Jinfeng have also taken leave.
After returning home, He Yuzhu saw Song Jinfeng busy in the kitchen and hurried over: "You are not feeling well, why are you still getting up to cook? Go and have a rest, I will cook."
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling uncomfortable? Let my brother cook." Yuyu was a little confused. My sister-in-law was fine yesterday. Why are you not feeling well today?
Hearing this, Song Jinfeng blushed with embarrassment and rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu: "What, my sister-in-law has a cold, just take a rest."
He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and smiled: "Go sit down and rest, I will do the rest."
Song Jinfeng put down the spoon in his hand: "I've added the millet and water. You watch and light the fire."
After saying that, he pushed Yu Yu's shoulder out of the kitchen and returned to the living room.
He Yuzhu was the only one left in the kitchen. He Yuzhu glanced at the millet porridge in the pot, took out some steamed dumplings from the space, put them in the steamer, and steamed them after the millet porridge was cooked.
After the steamed dumplings were steamed, He Yuzhu called Yuyu to come over and bring breakfast: "Yuyu, come here and help me bring breakfast."
"Coming." Yuyu promised and came over.
When He Yuzhu saw the rain, he ordered: "You bring the millet porridge I scooped out, and I will bring the steamed dumplings."
Yu Yu went out with millet porridge, and Song Jinfeng who came with him asked, "Is there anything else I need to get?"
"Didn't I tell you to rest? Why did you come to the kitchen again?"
"It's not a big deal for me. It's just a two-step process. It's okay."
"Then help me get tea eggs and pickles."
"Okay." Song Jinfeng picked up the tea eggs and pickles and followed He Yuzhu back to the living room.
"Sister-in-law, I'll come." Yuyu took the things in Song Jinfeng's hands and put them on the table.
He Yuzhu put the steamed dumplings on the table: "Okay, let's all sit down and eat."
"Sister-in-law, try the xiaolongbao made by my brother. It's much more delicious than the ones sold outside." Yuyu gave Song Jinfeng a xiaolongbao.
"You can eat the rainwater too, I can do it myself."
Song Jinfeng picked up the steamed dumplings and took a bite. The juices overflowed and the meat was fresh and tender. I finished another xiaolongbao in one bite.
Yu Yu said proudly: "Sister-in-law, I didn't lie to you, right? It tastes better than what's sold outside, right?"
"Well, it's indeed better than the ones sold outside." After saying that, Song Jinfeng picked up another Xiao Long Bao.
"Okay, eat the rainwater quickly. It won't taste good after it gets cold."
The family of three had a delicious breakfast.
After eating, He Yuzhu began to clear the table. Song Jinfeng extended his hand to help but He Yuzhu refused: "I'll do it. Just sit here and rest."
After He Yuzhu cleaned up, he took a copy of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" from his bookshelf and handed it to Song Jinfeng: "We are not going anywhere today. Let's rest at home."
Song Jinfeng knew that He Yuzhu was worried about his injury, so he took the novel and sat on the recliner: "Okay."
When Yu Yu heard that his brother and sister-in-law wanted to rest at home and not go out to play, he ran back to his room, took out his schoolbag, and studied by himself on the table next to Song Jinfeng.
He Yuzhu went to prepare some pastries and juice for the two of them, then went to the east wing to get a piece of wood and a carving knife. He sat at the door of the living room and looked at Song Jinfeng for a while, and started to carve something.
He Yuzhu and Song Jinfeng went to bed late last night and got up early in the morning. Song Jinfeng sat on the recliner and read for a while before feeling sleepy and fell asleep unconsciously.
He Yuzhu did not wake up Song Jinfeng. He went into the house and took a thin quilt to cover Song Jinfeng, then sat at the door and continued carving.
Until noon, He Yuzhu carved the rough outline. He stood up and moved his body, then walked into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
He Yuzhu raised two old hens in the backyard for cover. Thinking that Song Jinfeng needed to replenish his body, he grabbed one.
Bleeding and feather plucking, He Yuzhu quickly cleaned up the old hen. Add some ginseng slices, wolfberry, red dates, etc. and simmer over low heat.
Stir-fried some more vegetables.
After the old hen was stewed, He Yuzhu brought the rice to the table and then woke up Song Jinfeng.
"Well, why did I fall asleep? What smells so good?" Song Jinfeng rubbed his eyes and smelled the aroma of chicken soup.
"It's time to have lunch, go wash up." He Yuzhu asked Song Jinfeng and Yuyu to wash their hands.
Song Jinfeng and Yu Yu came back and sat down after washing their hands. He Yuzhu scooped a bowl of chicken soup for no one.
"You killed the chickens in the backyard? How about keeping them to lay eggs?" Song Jinfeng said when he saw the stewed old hen.
He Yuzhu: "It's okay. I can get chickens and eggs. Our family is not short of eggs or chickens."
Yuyu: “Sister-in-law, eat quickly.”
Although Song Jinfeng was confused, he did not ask further questions in front of Yuyu.
Song Jinfeng scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup and drank it: "It tastes so good."
After lunch, I felt a little sleepy due to the rain, so I went back to my room to take a nap.
Song Jinfeng called He Yuzhu into the kitchen: "Zhuzhu, I don't ask you where these chickens come from, I just ask you are you in danger? Have you poached the country?"
He Yuzhu heard Song Jinfeng's words and assured: "Don't worry, the source is absolutely fine. It's safe."
Song Jinfeng: "That's fine. I don't want you to go in right after we get married. We almost didn't eat well, so we must ensure safety."
He Yuzhu: "Don't worry, I can't bear to leave you and Yuyu either."
The two returned to the living room, and He Yuzhu said to Song Jinfeng, "Are you still sleepy now? Why don't you go back to the room and sleep for a while?"
Song Jinfeng: "No, I'm full from my nap in the morning. If I go to bed in the afternoon, I won't be able to fall asleep at night. I can just read here for a while."
Song Jinfeng picked up the novel he read in the morning and sat on the recliner again.
He Yuzhu continued to sit at the door to finish the morning's carving work.
Song Jinfeng read the book for a while, then looked at He Yuzhu for a while, and asked, "What are you carving?"
He Yuzhu remained mysterious: "I can't tell you now, you will know when I finish."
The less He Yuzhu told Song Jinfeng, the more curious Song Jinfeng became. From time to time, he put down the book and looked at He Yuzhu, wondering what He Yuzhu had carved.
He Yuzhu saw that Song Jinfeng always looked this way and turned around, blocking Song Jinfeng's sight.
Song Jinfeng snorted: "I don't want to know anymore."
He Yuzhu: "It will be ready soon. I want to give you a surprise. Please wait a little longer."
Song Jinfeng had no choice but to endure, sat back on the recliner and continued reading. I looked at it and was fascinated by it.
When He Yuzhu finished carving, he turned around and saw that Song Jinfeng was fascinated. He walked up to Song Jinfeng with the newly completed work and pushed her.
Song Jinfeng was startled and looked up to see He Yuzhu: "What's wrong?"
He Yuzhu: "I've finished carving it and I'll show it to you."
He Yuzhu handed Song Jinfeng the carved Q version of Song Jinfeng's doll sitting on a recliner and reading a book.
Song Jinfeng fell in love as soon as she saw it: "It's really well done."
"As long as you like it, I'll do it for you in the future."
"Okay, then when I want it from now on, you can't be bothered."
"Definitely not."
Song Jinfeng couldn't put it down while playing with the doll.
