Upon hearing Qin Xue’s instruction, Li Zhao looked at the stove in the kitchen
and replied, “Okay!”
Li Zhao placed the food on the table, grabbed a match and some kindling to start a fire in the stove!
Li Zhao managed to get the fire going effortlessly. Qin Xue looked on, impressed. This was incredible!
Why didn’t her fire catch no matter how hard she tried? Each time she’d end up suffocating the house with smoke and turning herself into a sooty mess!
“Sister-in-law, I’ve started the fire, what do I do next?” Li Zhao called out to Qin Xue while looking at the burning flames.
“Leave it there, I’ll handle it soon!” Qin Xue swiftly finished up her tasks.
Li Zhao nodded his head, and went to sit in the living room with An Hao.
“You guys sit tight, the house has been empty for a while, there isn’t even any boiling water. I’ll heat it up quickly!’
Qin Xue filled a pot with water and put it on the stove to boil. She then washed three tomatoes, cut them up, sprinkled some sugar on them and brought them to the living room for them to snack on.
“You guys can have some tomatoes first, I’ll go cook the meal! “. Qin Xue put down the tomatoes and went to wash the pot to prepare the meal.
Once Chu Molin finished his tasks, he helped wash and chop the vegetables. Soon, a meal was ready!
Sweet and sour ribs that were red and shiny, braised fish, spicy shredded potato, stir-fried cabbage. With the addition of tomato egg soup, it was enough for the four of them!
Qin Xue and Chu Molin helped serve the dishes onto the table. An Hao, spotting the fragrant and delicious looking dishes, was salivating.
“Qin Xue, you’re amazing! You can cook so many delicious dishes!” An Hao praised while looking at the dishes. However, she didn’t start eating as the hosts had not started, displaying proper etiquette.
“If you like it, eat more, I’ve cooked plenty, there’s enough!” said Qin Xue, laughing as she picked a piece of rib for An Hao.
“You guys should eat too! Help yourselves to the dishes you like!” After inviting An Hao, Qin Xue also invited Li Zhao and Chu Molin.
“Alright, thanks sister-in-law, this looks amazing, it also smells delicious, looks like we’re in for a treat today.” Li Zhao picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of fish meat into An Hao’s bowl.
Qin Xue watched them with a smile. The happiest thing for a cook was seeing others enjoy their food!
Qin Xue looked down, ready to grab some food, to find her bowl nearly full. When had she picked so much food?
When she looked up, she saw Chu Molin smiling at her. It clicked. Chu Molin had been the one serving her food.
Qin Xue smiled knowingly and picked up some food from her full bowl, feeling sweetness in her heart.
The meal ended amidst one silent individual and the laughter and chatter of the other three. Li Zhao quickly offered to clear the table, “Sister-in-law, I’ll clean up. You’ve worked hard, sit down and rest.”
“Well, I can do it. It’s not appropriate to let a guest do the cleaning!” Qin Xue replied, feeling embarrassed.
“What’s the big deal? Mr. Xie and I are brothers, no need to be so formal, sister-in-law!” Li Zhao responded casually.
With Li Zhao adopting such stance, Qin Xue went along with him and decided to sit and chat with An Hao.
“An An, have you guys decided on a wedding date yet?”. Qin Xue thought she might not be able to attend their wedding and wondered if she should design a wedding dress for her as a wedding gift!
“Not yet, our families have asked us to go back home to discuss!” An Hao spoke as she rubbed her stomach. She had overeaten!
“Do you prefer a Hua Country traditional wedding or a Western style wedding with a wedding dress?” Qin Xue asked An Hao.
“Wedding dress? What’s that?” An Hao asked in response.
“Uh, you don’t know about wedding dresses?” Qin Xue’s heart gave a little jolt.
Did she just give herself away? She looked helplessly at Chu Molin, hoping he would come to her aid.
“It’s a type of white dress made of gauze!” Chu Molin had been abroad on a mission and had seen what a wedding dress looked like.
He was just surprised that his little wife knew about this as well.
But upon reflection, he realized that it was quite normal for his knowledgeable wife to know this.
So, he didn’t disappoint and fulfilled Qin Xue’s wish..
