If it had been before, he would have definitely shyly avoided her gaze immediately.
But this time, he only flickered his eyes briefly and then met her gaze warmly.
Instead, she felt a little embarrassed and shifted her gaze away.
She tasted the pigâs large intestine he had cooked, âIt tastes just like what I cook. Fourth Brother, your craftsmanship is really good.â
Her gaze caught all the cleaned and cut pig intestines in the large foot basin, âFourth Brother⦠you did all the cutting?â
He was afraid that his good intentions might have backfired, âWas that wrong?â
âNo. Just worried it might have been too tiring for you.â
âNot at all.â
He smiled, âYou go ahead and eat first, Iâll finish cooking the large intestines.â
âOkay.â She nodded slightly.
Xiao Yishan carried a large bucket of water into the kitchen.
The water jar in the kitchen had been moved to the backyard, so the bucket of water he brought in was used directly in the kitchen.
Xiao Qinghe had already boiled a pot of water. He scalded the pigâs large intestines in the pot a few times, while talking to Xiao Yishan, âSecond Brother, have breakfast.â
Xiao Yishanâs cold gaze fell on Su Qingyue, who was eating at the table.
In the past, she would always greet him when she saw him, but now she acted as if she hadnât seen him at all. Was she still angry?
He also took a bowl of porridge and sat down across from her.
She had just finished eating, scooped up a bowl of porridge, and grabbed some vegetables to take to the master bedroom, âIâll bring this to Third Brother.â
With that, she left the kitchen.
In the master bedroom, Xiao Yuchuan saw his wife entering and was touched, âWife, Iâm really touched that you care so much about me, bringing food to me personally.â
She just put the food on the table and left to attend to her other tasks.
After finishing his breakfast, Xiao Yishan walked into the yard and saw Su Qingyue standing there. Just as he was about to say something, she spoke first, âSecond Brother, have you finished your meal?â
He nodded his head.
She gestured to the chair next to her, clearly waiting for him, âSit there.â
He complied.
She squatted in front of him, removed the bamboo pieces tied to his left leg, gently scraped off the old medicine from his leg injury, applied new medicine powder, and tied the bamboo pieces back, âYou must not exert force on your left leg. Try to use your crutch as much as possible.â
He looked at her attentively changing the medicine for him, listening to her caring admonishment, and felt warmth in his heart, âYueâerâ¦â
She didnât ask him what he wanted to say, and after changing the medicine, she stood up, âIâll go wash our familyâs baskets.â
âIâll do itâ¦â Xiao Yishan volunteered first.
She didnât argue with him, âPlease also go up the nearby mountain to pick some large, clean banana leaves to put on the bottom of the basket. I also need two more to cover the surface. I need a few thick stacks of large tree leaves for wrapping foodâ¦â
âOkay.â
After taking instructions from Qingyue, she returned to the kitchen to find that a large pot of braised pig intestines was already cooked, and the aroma filled the entire room.
However, there were nearly eighty jin of pig intestines that couldnât fit into one pot, so they had to be divided into two pots.
The porridge in the rice cooker was all finished. He washed the rice cooker, and the large pot on the stove was also cooking pig intestines.
Su Qingyue stood by the door, watching him cook, adding salt and seasoning to the potâ¦n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Each of his movements seemed so elegant, neither hurried nor slow.
Just watching him work was a visual pleasure.
That must be a trait of a personâs temperament.
Xiao Qinghe enjoyed having his wife watching him so intently.
However, being watched by her, he couldnât help but become nervous, and his movements with the spatula stiffened.
Even his pale, sickly handsome face had gradually flushed with shyness.
She realized that her brazen gaze made the delicate young man feel shy.
However, there was always something inexplicably attractive about him that made it hard for people to resist, and simply looking at him felt comforting to oneâs heart and soul.
