Chapter 238 Please the Father-in-law through His Stomach
Although Xia Xiaoluo played with Ling Tianyi for a while, she made dumplings and a few delicate and light dishes quickly. Ling Tianyi helped to pack the food and then they went to the hospital together.
Ling Desheng has already woken up but had few words, he did not eat the dishes Xia Xiaoluo brought. He Meishu just put the dishes and dumplings made by Xia Xiaoluo aside, saying that there was a professional cook at home, asking Xia Xiaoluo not to worry about anything.
Ling Tianyi didn’t want to make Xia Xiaoluo disappointed. He was reluctant to throw the delicious food into the rubbish bin, so he ate up the food with depression alone.
The atmosphere in the ward was very embarrassing. Xia Xiaoluo felt that she was about to suffocate.
At this time, Ling Tianxue came in with Chu Wei.
Ling Deshenghad better impressions on Chu Wei and even said a few words to him, which made Ling Tianxue very excited.
Ling Tianyi saw that his father’s condition was not bad, so he simply took Xia Xiaoluo to leave the ward.
“Darling, where are we going? We should stay with dad in the ward!” Xia Xiaoluo said. She was afraid that such behaviors would offend her parents-in-law. She felt guilty and could not afford to continue to upset them, otherwise, they would misunderstand her again.
“Humph! I don’t think it’s necessary!” Ling Tianyi said coldly.
Ling Tianyi suddenly felt that he should not talk to Xia Xiaoluo in a cold tone, not to mention that he was not angry with her, so he said gently, “I don’t want you to be wronged, and we don’t go far, just walking around to relax.”
Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo’s hand and walked in the garden. Xia Xiaoluo let Ling Tianyi do that and accompany him quietly. Although she was always too noisy, she enjoyed the quiet atmosphere now.
On the second day of the lunar calendar, the hospital was very quiet. St. Mary’s Private Hospital was a noble hospital and ordinary people could not afford it. The patients were all high officials and noble people, and there were not so many people here. What was more, because of the Spring Festival, those patients who could leave the hospital all went home. At this time, the garden in the hospital was even quieter.
“Darling, do you love me? Do you really love me?” Ling Tianyi stopped and asked suddenly.
“Yes!” Xia Xiaoluo answered without hesitation. After that, she felt a little shy, and she blushed gradually.
Ling Tianyi stretched out his hands and embraced Xia Xiaoluo in his arms. “For which part you love me?”
“All!” Xia Xiaoluo leaned on Ling Tianyi.
“I love you, darling, I love all of you!” Ling Tianyi kissed Xia Xiaoluo’s hair.
“Darling, I love you, so I love your family, love your parents, I don’t want you and your family to be upset because of me. Let’s go back! We can’t stay out for too long.” Xia Xiaoluo raised her head and looked at Ling Tianyi.
“Darling, I love you too, so I don’t want you to be wronged, I can handle the relationship with my family. Don’t worry, your husband has such abilities.” Ling Tianyi looked at Xia Xiaoluo.
They looked at each other and kissed.
Ling Tianyi raised Xia Xiaoluo’s thin chin gently, his lips approached her small mouth slowly. The kiss was gentle and lingering, it seemed that they could kiss each other forever…
“Darling, hum, I…” Xia Xiaoluo finally pushed Ling Tianyi away.
“You want to say that it is outside and you are afraid of being seen by others, isn’t it?’’ Ling Tianyi smiled, wanting to kiss Xia Xiaoluo again.
“No, we are in a hospital, it is not proper!” Xia Xiaoluo lowered her head and avoided Ling Tianyi’s lips.
Don’t you love me? Ling Tianyi said deliberately. If he couldn’t kiss Xia Xiaoluo, he must complain about it.
“I love you, don’t speak like that, I will be sad.” Xia Xiaoluo lowered her head.
“Well, I know that you love me, don’t be so sad. Ling Tianyi did not make any jokes at once, holding Xia Xiaoluo to give her warmth.
“Darling, I don’t want to stop cooking for dad until he is willing to eat the food.” Xia Xiaoluo said, “Faith can move mountains!”
“ You are so filial! But if you are that considerate, just be good to me. I’m afraid that you can’t get anything back from my father no matter what you did for him.” Ling Tianyi sighed. He loved Xia Xiaoluo, but why didn’t his parents like her?
“I will be good to you and your parents. If you don’t want to make me worried and always upset, you can tell me what dad likes to eat. I will study it carefully and cook it for him.” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“OK! You win. If you want to do something, just do it! I am your strong backing. However, if they do not accept your goodwill or continue to hurt you, then I will not allow you to do it, understand?”
“I see, just tell me quickly!” Xia Xiaoluo asked Ling Tianyi continuously.
Ling Tianyi embraced Xia Xiaoluo to sit on the bench in the garden of the hospital, and then he said, “My dad likes to eat meat. He is fond of meat dishes. And he likes to drink, especially white wine.”
“But it is not good for his health!” Xia Xiaoluo sighed.
“Yes! So my mom doesn’t let him eat meat or drink white wine.” Ling Tianyi said and sighed. “So, it is difficult for you to cook for him. My dad likes meat dishes, but my mom will think that you don’t care about my dad’s health and she will be unhappy. If you cook vegetarian food, my dad doesn’t eat them and your goodwill will be in vain.”
Xia Xiaoluo frowned and thought about it. “I have an idea!”
“What is your idea?” Ling Tianqyi asked.
“Have you heard of Vegetarian Food? They are available in the temple!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
Ling Tianyi nodded. “I know it, but I have never eaten it.”
“It is a vegetarian dish like tofu with the taste of meat dishes. If dad doesn’t eat meat, it won’t affect his health. And it has a taste of meat, it can satisfy his appetite for meat.” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile.
“Well! It sounds feasible, but it seems a bit difficult. Do you need me to help you to find the chef in the temple?” Ling Tianyi asked gently.
“No, I’m a chef, I don’t need a teacher, and I will not let you down!” Xia Xiaoluo said confidently and proudly.
“What about the wine? We could not give dad liqueur chocolate! He will be crazy.” Ling Tianyi said jokingly.
“I can cook Wine-steeped Shrimp, I will cook it for him later, it contains some alcohol, but it won’t make people drunk.” Xia Xiaoluo said, “We can’t do it now though. when dad is getting better, I will cook it for him.”
“Then you just do it. Tell me what you need directly, I will solve all your problems. However, you have to set a time, you can’t do it forever. We take the Lantern Festival as a deadline. If dad still does not eat your food, or he is not satisfied with the meal, then you must stop! Don’t argue with me, this is my bottom line, there is no room for negotiation, I must protect you because I’m your husband!” Ling Tianyi said.
“OK, OK! That’s it!” Xia Xiaoluo nodded. She knew that Ling Tianyi would not compromise. However, Xia Xiaoluo was confident with her cooking skills. Once Ling Desheng took a bite, he would love it.
Then she began to study the dishes carefully, Ling Tianyi was willing to try the dishes cooked by Xia Xiaoluo and ate them up. Xia Xiaoluo saw her husband enjoy her dishes and was also very satisfied, so she also cooked a few special dishes Ling Tianyi liked. However, Ling Tianyi always said that his favorite dish was her, making Xia Xiaoluo shy. When Ling Tianyi saw that Xia Xiaoluo was shy, he would laugh happily, and then embraced her for a while.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Xiaoluo’s dishes were put aside, and Ling Tianyi picked them up and ate them.
So did the fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day of Lunar New Year.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Ling Desheng looked at Xia Xiaoluo’s dishes, but he did not eat it. However, Xia Xiaoluo was satisfied with it, after all, it was much better than the previous days.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Xiaoluo showed her special cooking skills, which was better than the previous days. And today, it was also the opportunity for Xia Xiaoluo.
Ling Desheng was hungry, He Meishu called home to urge the chef to cook for him. Unexpectedly, the driver had an accident on the way to the hospital. So Ling Desheng’s lunch was in vain.
Xia Xiaoluo just arrived, and it was time for her to offer the dishes she made.
Although Ling Desheng did not want to eat the dishes made by Xia Xiaoluo, He Meishu also did not like to let him eat the food made by Xia Xiaoluo. There was no choice, and the patients could not be hungry.
Xia Xiaoluo saw Ling Desheng put a piece of artificial braised pork into his mouth happily, but she was also anxious.
“Well!” Ling Desheng commented, “Not bad, I haven’t eaten such delicious braised pork for a long time, fat and not greasy, it can really satisfy my appetite for meat!”
“I’m so glad that you like to eat it.” Xia Xiaoluo was happy.
“Dad, this is not the real braised pork. This is not the meat at all. This is tofu and yuba made by Xiaoluo, it is a vegetarian dish. The doctor said that you can’t eat greasy food, but you just like to eat meat. So Xiaoluo tried everything to make the artificial meat dishes. In fact, these dishes are made with vegetables.” Ling Tianyi showed off proudly.
“It’s not meat?Incredible!” Ling Desheng picked up the braised pork and tasted it again.
“No, it’s meat! How delicious! Don’t cheat me! I am over sixty years old, but I am not that doited!” Ling Desheng said and ate some fried meat.
Ling Desheng did not believe in his word, but Xia Xiaoluo was very happy because that represented her excellent cooking skills.
“Xia Xiaoluo, don’t lie to me, if Ling Desheng eats the meat and get sick, you have an inescapable responsibility.” He Meishu said.
“Mom, I didn’t lie to you, it’s really vegetarian, tofu, yuba, and green vegetables.” Xia Xiaoluo said seriously.
“Good, it’s delicious!” Ling Desheng said while eating, he rarely praised people, Ling Tianyi even felt very surprised.
“If dad likes it, I will cook the artificial meat dishes every day. It was delicious and it will not hurt your health.” Xia Xiaoluo said happily, she wanted this effect.
“Hmm!” Ling Desheng’s voice seemed to be the sound of chewing vegetables, and he seemed to agree with her. However, Xia Xiaoluo thought that Ling Desheng agreed.
