“l was afraid you’d be back too late, so I thought I’d cook first. That way, when you come back, you can just eat without it being too late.” Chu Molin replied to Qin Xue’s question while continuing his work.

“But is your injury all right?” Qin Xue asked after listening.

She moved the groceries she bought into the kitchen. She didn’t buy much of each item.

However, she bought a wide variety, and with each item weighing a kg or two, it was quite heavy.

“Why did you buy so many groceries?” Chu Molin asked Qin Xue in surprise, as if wondering if his wife intended to bring the whole market home.

“Isn’t it because mom and little brother are coming tomorrow? I have to buy some groceries.” Qin Xue thought that her mother should cook once she arrives.

The guesthouse was quite a distance away. It wouldn’t be appropriate to have her family stay there, would it?

“Even if your mother-in-law and little brother-in-law are coming, you’ve still bought too much.” Chu Molin looked at the pile of groceries on the floor. It was quite a lot. He wondered how Qin Xue had managed to carry it all.

If she knew, she’d definitely tell him she moved them as an ant colony might – little by little.

Actually, she was lucky. While she was waiting for the car with her groceries, she ran into Xiao Zhao, who was returning from an errand. So, she hitched a ride with him.

“There were too many things missing at home, so 1 thought I’d buy some more when I thought of it.” Qin Xue took out each vegetable and put it away.

Most of these groceries were actually taken out of her space and hadn’t cost her anything.

Only the transportation was a bit tiring. Thinking of the clay pots from yesterday’s market, Qin Xue decided she needed to make pickles quickly.

Otherwise, once more people came, she wouldn’t be able to do it.

Many people would be gossiping, and she wouldn’t be able to keep her secret.

So, she took the opportunity today to bring out a lot of vegetables. After they finished eating, she could start making pickles and kimchi. She had even bought all the necessary seasonings.

“Xue’er, now that the weather is hot, if you buy so many vegetables and we don’t eat them all, they’ll go bad.” Chu Molin didn’t understand just how many groceries Qin Xue had bought.

He thought he’d seen a lot just now, but only realized how wrong he was when Qin Xue finished bringing everything into the kitchen.

Actually, Qin Xue hadn’t really bought that much. Many of the vegetables were secretly taken out of her space when Chu Molin was in the kitchen, under the pretext of bringing in supplies.

Otherwise, she couldn’t have passed Xiao Zhao’s scrutiny. It would have scared him to death. She was a kind-hearted child. How could she scare someone?

“l know they’ll go bad if we don’t eat them soon, but I bought them to make pickles and kimchi, not to eat them right away. So, there’s no need to worry about it going bad.” Qin Xue wasn’t worried about that at all.

“Pickles and kimchi? How do you make them?” Chu Molin spread the rolled-out dough onto the cutting board and cut it into thick noodles.

After cutting, he put the noodles into a pot of boiling water to cook. He grabbed the ingredients he’d prepared earlier, and as soon as the noodles were cooked, he lifted them out of the pot and into a bowl.

“Xue’er, it’s time to eat. You can cook more later.” Chu Molin placed the cooked noodles on the dining table and called his wife to eat.

“Coming!” Qin Xue put down the vegetables in her hand, went to wash her hands, and starting eating.

“Chu Molin, I didn’t expect your handmade noodles to be so delicious. They have a nice chewiness.” Qin Xue thought that it was no wonder men could make a difference in cooking. The dough he kneaded felt different than when she did it.

Her hands were weaker, so the dough she made was less chevvy and had a softer texture.

“As long as you like it, eat more.” Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue eating happily, his eyes filled with indulgence as he spoke.

“Mmm, I’m going to eat this whole big bowl.” Qin Xue said with a smile.

“Take your time. Don’t choke.” Chu Molin saw her eating so fast and reminded her to slow down.

“Mmm, I know.” Qin Xue spoke with her mouth full of noodles, her words muffled and unclear as she replied to Chu Molin’s advice..
