The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 506:
Chapter 506: 506 Qinghe calls wife 1
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 pig’s large intestine he had cooked, “It tastes just like what I cook. Fourth Brother, your craftsmanship is really good.”
Her gaze caught all the cleaned and cut pig intestines in the large foot basin, “Fourth Brother… you did all the cutting?”
He was afraid that his good intentions might have backfired, “Was that wrong?”
“No. Just worried it might have been too tiring for you.”
“Not at all.”
He smiled, “You go ahead and eat first, I’ll finish cooking the large intestines.”
“Okay.” 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 pig’s large intestines in the pot a few times, while talking to Xiao Yishan, “Second Brother, have breakfast.”
Xiao Yishan’s 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 hadn’t 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, “I’ll bring this to Third Brother.”
With that, she left the kitchen.
In the master bedroom, Xiao Yuchuan saw his wife entering and was touched, “Wife, I’m really touched that you care so much about me, bringing food to me personally.”
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, “Second Brother, have you finished your meal?”
He nodded his head.
She gestured to the chair next to her, clearly waiting for him, “Sit there.”
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, “You must not exert force on your left leg. Try to use your crutch as much as possible.”
He looked at her attentively changing the medicine for him, listening to her caring admonishment, and felt warmth in his heart, “Yue’er…”
She didn’t ask him what he wanted to say, and after changing the medicine, she stood up, “I’ll go wash our family’s baskets.”
“I’ll do it…” Xiao Yishan volunteered first.
She didn’t argue with him, “Please 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 food…”
“Okay.”
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 couldn’t 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 pot…
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 person’s temperament.
Xiao Qinghe enjoyed having his wife watching him so intently.
However, being watched by her, he couldn’t 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 one’s heart and soul.
