“Anyway, I really appreciate it,” Qin Xue said with a smile.
“Well, in that case, make me a meal sometime. I’ve found that your cooking tastes better than most,” Fang Hong said, genuinely impressed with Qin Xue’s culinary skills.
“Sure, I’ll cook for you once the training is over,” Qin Xue said, not planning to go to the factory every day after she finished her training.
As long as she worked on her design drawings every day, she wouldn’t have to wea_r herself out traveling back and forth.
“Really? That’s great, I can’t wait,” Fang Hong laughed and looked at Qin Xue.
“Yes, look forward to it. I’ll definitely have you over for dinner. Let’s see how much you can eat,” Qin Xue had plenty of vegetables and fish in her space.
Since they couldn’t finish it all, it was perfectly fine to invite them over for a meal.
“All I know is I can eat a lot,” Fang Hong admitted. In those days, people hardly ever got to eat their fill or to enjoy truly satisfying meals; they were simply embarrassed to eat their fill when dining at someone else’s home.
“Alright then, I’ll make plenty of food, so just eat your heart out. You can have as much as you want,” Qin Xue also understood that people in this era had a hard time eating enough or enjoying good food.
“If you say so, I won’t be shy,” Fang Hong laughed. No matter what Qin Xue said, she wouldn’t really gorge herself when the time came.
“Yes, I mean it. Also, let’s invite Mr. Xie and Yu Xiu’s family to join us for dinner,” Qin Xue wanted to have a lively gathering.
“Alright, if I come back early that day, I’ll help you cook,” Fang Hong wasn’t sure if she would return early or late.
“Sounds good. Let’s hurry up and buy what we need, then catch the bus back,” Qin Xue thought about what else they needed to purchase.
Fang Hong: “Alright, let’s go.”
After the two finished their shopping, they headed to the bus station to wait for a bus.
When the bus arrived, they boarded it and headed to the research institute.
By the time they got home, it was almost dark. Qin Xue hurriedly started cooking, her stomach growling with hunger.
She picked some vegetables from her space, steamed a pot of rice, made a dish of braised fish, another of stir-fried Chinese greens, and a pan-seared green chili pepper dish, as well as a tomato and egg soup. Three dishes and one soup were enough to fill them.
Qin Xue carried the rice and dishes to the table, but Chu Molin hadn’t returned yet.
After thinking about it for a moment, she decided to take a bath in her space. She felt like she hadn’t taken a bath in quite a while.
Qin Xue grabbed some clothes and entered the bathroom, then went into her space.
Once inside, she saw Xue Ling practicing and didn’t disturb her. Qin Xue undressed and got into the pool.
Ah, taking a bath was so relaxing; it removed all the days exhaustion, opening up her pores and leaving her feeling refreshed.
After she finished her bath, she came out with two buckets of spiritual spring water and placed them in the bathroom.
She also turned on the faucet to wet the floor, then used a towel to dry her hair as she walked out.
She bumped into Chu Molin, who had just arrived home.
“You’re back. Go take a shower and then we can eat. The food must be getting cold by now,” Qin Xue said, glancing at the cooling dishes covered by plates on the table.
“Okay, I’ll go wash up. You should dry your hair quickly so you don’t catch cold,” Chu Molin didn’t hesitate.
He grabbed some clothes and went to take a shower. He had been setting up a wilderness training ground all day, and was covered in dirt.
Qin Xue sat in a chair, slowly drying her hair, wishing that it would dry faster. Washing her hair without a hairdryer was really inconvenient.
Once Qin Xue had used the towel to soak up most of the moisture from her hair, she wrapped it in a dry towel.
Just as she finished, Chu Molin came out of the bathroom, all freshened up.
Qin Xue brought the rice over, scooped soup into two empty bowls, and set the table. Drinking soup before the meal was good for digestion.
Qin Xue picked up her bowl and began to drink her soup, savoring the slightly sour taste that whetted her appetite,
“Why did you come home so late today? Were you really busy?” Qin Xue asked, noticing that it was already well past their normal off-work time.
“Yes, we’re starting wilderness training soon, so I’ll be quite busy for a while,” Chu Molin said, taking a sip of his soup.
“l see,” Qin Xue nodded in acknowledgment.
“Xue’er, 1 have to lead the team in the training exercise, so I’ll be very busy and won’t have time to be with you,” Chu Molin said, explaining the situation as soon as he got home.
“Really? That’s great, actually. I’ve been wanting to talk to you about something too. I’ll be training at the factory for the next few days, and it’s just so inconvenient to have to commute back and forth. I’ve been thinking about staying at the store for a few days.
This works out perfectly since I won’t have to come back and cook for you. I can just stay there,” Qin Xue was relieved by the arrangement..
