Chapter 87
87 Same Room (2)
In the past, he couldn’t bear to buy candied hawthorn for the three of them. Now, he was willing to buy... a stick.
The three of them ate a skewer.
If he bought it for Su Xiaoxiao, she would eat three skewers alone! His daughter was the most important!
Father Su carried the children to Su Ergou’s room and carried Xiaohu from Su Xiaoxiao’s room.
The rest of the papercuts were handed to Su Ergou and Wei Ting to paste while Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to cook supper.
She had lost so much weight. She had to reward herself!
She would... eat a peanut butter dumpling.
Uh, no, it was dumplings dipped in peanut butter.
Su Xiaoxiao made cornmeal shrimp steamed dumplings. The shrimp was dried shrimp that she had taken from Aunt Fu. It was 80 to 90% dry and had a faint sea salt flavor. The locals were not used to it, so it was not sold well. However, Su Xiaoxiao liked it very much.
The steamed shrimp dumplings she made had a lot of filling with thin skin, high protein content, and low sugar content. They were very suitable for dieting.
It was also suitable for a family.
“Sister, I’m not full!” Su Ergou said.
He was at the age of growth and had the most terrifying appetite.
“Wait, it’s coming up.”
Su Xiaoxiao scooped out the mutton noodle soup from the pot.
The three men each had a bowl.
Wei Ting was suddenly stunned when he saw this bowl of mutton noodle soup.
“Sister, what meat is this?” Su Ergou asked.
“Mutton.”
Su Xiaoxiao said.
It was difficult to buy mutton. If she didn’t know Luo Dazhuang, she wouldn’t have been able to buy it at all. She had only bought three catties.
She cleaned up the gamey smell and preserved the umami of the mutton to the greatest extent. In addition, she sprinkled a faint layer of pepper. It was not too spicy. After taking a bite, her entire body warmed up.
Su Ergou and Father Su were sweating profusely and could not stop eating.
Wei Ting looked at the mutton noodle soup in his bowl but did not move his chopsticks for a long time.
“Aren’t you eating?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Wei Ting’s mouth moved. “Where... did you learn this dish?”
“Aunt Fu taught me!” Su Xiaoxiao said without changing her expression. “Her temper is a little bad, but she knows how to cook a lot! I’ve learned a lot!”
Su Ergou was enlightened. “Sister! No wonder your culinary skills have become so good!”
The truth was actually related to Young Master Xiang.
Wei Ting’s accent when he first came to the village was close to Young Master Xiang’s. Since Young Master Xiang was from the capital, Su Xiaoxiao boldly guessed that Wei Ting might also be from the capital.
She asked Young Master Xiang about the local customs of the capital, including this mutton noodle soup.
Looking at Wei Ting’s reaction, she had guessed correctly.
How did the people of the capital get chased here?
Wei Ting took a sip of mutton noodle soup in a daze; he really felt like he had returned to the mansion for the new year.
“Sister, can you make mutton soup tomorrow?” Su Ergou asked.
“No problem.”
The remaining 500 grams of mutton was originally used to wrap dumplings, but since Ergou wanted to eat mutton soup, she would make soup!
“Aiya, I ate too happily!” Father Su leaned back in his chair and touched his round stomach. Who would dare to say that his daughter didn’t know anything? Her culinary skills were much better than the famous chefs he had encountered when he traveled everywhere!
Wei Ting was also a little unsatisfied.Perhaps it was another illusion, but the mutton soup she made... tasted like home.
At midnight, after the New Year celebration, the family returned to their rooms to rest.
Wei Ting had been separated from Su Xiaoxiao previously. Firstly, his injuries were too serious and it was easier for him to recuperate alone. Father Su had never told him the second reason. He was worried that his son-in-law was so seriously injured. If he died...
Ahem, alright, reality proved that he was overthinking.
His son-in-law was living a lively life!
In the east room, the couple finally sat calmly on the edge of the bed.
“Inside or outside?” Su Xiaoxiao asked expressionlessly.
“Whatever,” Wei Ting replied expressionlessly.
“If you get up at night, sleep outside. Don’t disturb me.”
“My kidney is very good. There’s no need.”
“Then I’ll sleep outside! I wake up early!”
Su Xiaoxiao pulled open the blanket and Wei Ting lay down before her. He said calmly, “I’ve changed my mind. I’ll sleep outside.”
Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, took off her shoes, stood up, and stepped over him!
Wei Ting was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao wrapped the blanket tightly and rolled herself up into a silkworm. She said with a serious expression, “Cover yourself with a blanket. Don’t snatch mine when you’re cold!”
Wei Ting said calmly, “Mind your own business.”
This guy...
Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him!
“Go over a little,” Wei Ting said coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao gave him another death stare and moved in angrily until she was against the wall.
But soon, she frowned and moved back. She was even closer than before and almost squeezed into Wei Ting.
Wei Ting frowned. “What are you doing?”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and smiled. “I’ve thought about it. This is my bed. I can sleep wherever I want! If you have the ability, sleep on the floor!”
If they slept on the same bed, she would have been considered to have slept with him!
This body’s sleep quality was extremely high. Wei Ting was about to choke her when he heard her even and steady breathing.
“You fell asleep so quickly. Are you a child...”
“Are you really asleep?”
“Su Daya?”
Su Xiaoxiao was right. Wei Ting was actually here for the token.
He could feel that his leg was fine. He would not require his walking stick soon. At that time, he could leave with the children.
However, before he left, he had to take back the token.
It was snowing outside, but it was not cold inside.
“Ah!”
She screamed in the middle of the night.
Wei Ting was instantly jolted awake and opened his cold eyes.
Could he fall asleep beside this woman?
