Chapter 318 Smoke rising from ancestral graves
Su Yin subconsciously turned around to see that the place around her was empty. Qi Jinchen had long since disappeared, and the place under the quilt was already cold.
It seems that Qi Jinchen has left long ago.
Su Yin silently extinguished the thoughts that had just arisen in her heart, thinking with some self-mockery about how it could be Qi Jinchen.
Su Yin stood up slowly, washed briefly, and then went downstairs to prepare breakfast for her grandparents.
But what she didn't expect was that sandwiches and several cups of hot milk were already placed on the dining table downstairs.
Baina and Qiu Shanming were already dressed and sat looking at her with smiling faces.
"Yinyin is awake. Come over quickly and have breakfast. It will be cold soon."
Su Yin looked at them blankly: "Grandma, is this the breakfast you made?"
Su Yin's eyes flashed with self-blame.
She is a junior, especially her grandma is not in good health. How can she get the two elderly people to get up and make breakfast?
It seems she will have to get up earlier tomorrow.
Bai Na seemed to understand Su Yin's thoughts, smiled and shook her head: "Jin Chen prepared those breakfasts, but his company had some matters to deal with and just drove away."
Su Yin blinked, a little in disbelief. Qi Jinchen actually prepared these breakfasts?
She pulled out the chair, sat next to Baina, and asked with concern: "Grandma, did you sleep well here yesterday?"
As Su Yin spoke, he picked up the hot milk on the table. The temperature was just right.
Baina stared at her closely: "Slept well, how did you and Jin Chen sleep last night? Did those wolfberries come in handy?"
Such a straightforward question made Su Yin choke suddenly, and even almost choked on the milk he just drank.
She patted her chest and coughed several times before finally calming down. Her face turned red, either from embarrassment or from choking.
Baina quickly raised her hand and patted Su Yin's back. Her eyes were helpless and a little doting: "I just asked a few more questions, so there is no need to react so fiercely."
Su Yin sighed softly: "Grandma, you'd better ask Qi Jinchen about this kind of question."
She never expected that her grandmother's question would be so straight to the point.
Baina looked serious: "It's a major life event for the two of you. I have to ask carefully. Judging from your reaction, it must be that those wolfberries were not used. I knew that such a simple thing would not work. We still have to wait for the Shiquan Dabu Decoction.”
Su Yin's mouth twitched subconsciously.
Just by hearing the name of Shiquan Dabu Decoction, you can tell how nourishing it is.
Su Yin racked her brains to think back: "Grandma, we are actually young and don't need these things yet. The things I said at the dinner table yesterday were just jokes. Qi Jinchen's health is not that bad."
At this moment, she finally knew what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
Baina clicked her tongue and patted Su Yin's hand: "You don't have to hide this kind of thing from grandma. We are all a family. You see, even your grandpa's poor health when he was young, I also shared it with you. you said so."
Qiu Shanming's face turned red when he was suddenly named again.
His face turned dark, "When you discuss children's issues, you don't have to mention me all the time!"
Baina raised her chin slightly and signaled to Su Yin: "Did you see it? Men are very sensitive to this topic, so we must work harder to make their bodies get better as soon as possible."
Su Yin: "..."
Qiu Shanming: "..."
what to do? How should she answer such a topic? Su Yin just wants to run now.
Su Yin forced herself to change the subject: "Grandma, today's sandwich is good. Please take two more bites. I'll be busy with work later."
Baina leaned on the chair and sighed heavily, with a bit of emotion in her voice, and a bit of desolation: "You see, as you get older, what you say is not what you want to hear. Not only is Jin Chen avoiding me, but also You have to avoid me too, alas, I’m getting old, I’m getting tired of it.”
Su Yin hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't think so. I really don't mean it. If you want to give Qi Jinchen Shiquan Dabu Decoction, then drink it. But my health has always been very good, so I will There’s no need to drink this kind of stuff.”
Baina shook her head seriously: "How can this be done? Otherwise, it would be better if two people work together to get twice the result with half the effort."
Su Yin was choked again, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
If she had known that things would turn out like this, she would have said nothing yesterday and would not blame Qi Jinchen. But now it is better, the two of them were dragged into the water together.
There was no other way, Su Yin could only grit his teeth and nodded: "I understand, grandma."
Baina then showed a satisfied smile and nodded: "Let's eat first."
Su Yin nodded obediently and took a big bite of the sandwich.
Now everything can only be left to fate.
In order to squeeze out more time from work to spend more time with her grandparents, Su Yin deliberately adjusted her working hours and freed up the afternoon.
When she drove back to the Riverview Villa, she pushed the door open and smelled a strong fragrance coming from the kitchen.
She sniffed her nose vigorously and walked quickly towards the kitchen, where she saw Baina wearing an apron and busy in front of the soup pot.
Su Yin quickly stepped forward and took the spoon from Baina's hand: "Grandma, you're not in good health. It's better not to smell the oil smoke in the kitchen. Leave the rest of the work to me."
Baina waved her hand: "It's okay. I know my body well. This is not a problem for me. When you come here, I will definitely let you try my specialty cooking skill, pork rib soup."
Su Yin looked at the soup that was constantly rolling in the pot and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was pork rib soup. She almost thought that the Shiquan Dabu soup would arrive today.
Su Yin turned to look at Baina and said worriedly: "Grandma, please go to the living room to rest for a while. I think the soup is almost done. Just leave the rest of the finishing work to me."
Baina hesitated for a moment, then nodded, took off her apron, gave it to Su Yin, and then walked out slowly.
She is over seventy years old, and her back is a bit lumpy.
Even if the mentality and thoughts can keep up with those of young people, the aging of time is still difficult to resist.
Su Yin took his eyes away from Baina and focused on the soup pot in front of him.
She is good at cooking, but not good at making soup.
The soup in the pot in front of me is rich in fragrance and golden in color. It is worthy of my grandmother's cooking skills.
Su Yin poured out the pork rib soup and brought it to the dining table.
Su Yin subconsciously praised: "Grandma, this pork rib soup is really delicious."
Baina raised her head slightly, with a proud look on her face, but this time, before she could speak, Qiu Shanming took up the topic.
"Your grandma wasn't a good cook when she was young, but the taste of this pork rib soup is outstanding. I was hooked by this pot of pork rib soup, and it has hooked me for the rest of my life."
Qiu Shanming had a faint smile on his face, as if he was recalling their youthful years.
Baina glared at him with dissatisfaction: "In your eyes, do I only have one advantage: pork rib soup?"
Qiu Shanming quickly changed his words: "No way, pork rib soup is your least worth mentioning advantage. I am lucky to be able to marry you."
Baina snorted: "It should be said that there is smoke coming out of your ancestral grave."
Su Yin was almost amused by these words, and tried her best to hold back the corners of her lips that curled up.
Qiu Shanming looked helpless and could only echo: "Yes, yes, my ancestor gave me a dream in the middle of the night and praised me for marrying a good wife."
For a moment, Su Yin felt envious at the harmonious and cheerful atmosphere between the two of them.
