Chapter 354: Quite Appetizing
Su Xing and He Xu left the old neighborhood where Old Mrs. Qiao lived and walked forward for a while before they saw a supermarket in front of them.
"I see there's nothing in the refrigerator. Shall we go stock up on some food?" Su Xing said.
He Xu responded: "Okay, let's go."
He held the girl's hand and walked towards the supermarket.
Before he even reached the supermarket, Su Xing heard the system prompt sound in his head indicating that the task was completed.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You will be awarded five days of life value. The mission is completed perfectly. You will also receive a random reward: Synesthesia +5]
Just two seconds after the system prompt sounded, the system prompt sound rang in her mind again!
[Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: Spend New Year's Day with the lonely family of a martyr and eat dumplings, allowing the other party to feel the long-lost festive atmosphere and the warmth of company. Reward health for three days, and another random reward: Infectivity +5]
Completed two tasks at the same time?
In addition to the task issued by the system to help Grandma Qiao sell candied haws, there is also a hidden task of having a meal with Grandma Qiao?
Although Su Xing was very happy to have received the hidden mission reward, she felt very complicated when she thought of Grandma Qiao's situation...
He Xu noticed Su Xing's mood change and said gently, "Let's come and see Grandma Qiao when we have time. It's not too far away."
"Okay." Su Xing responded, and then sighed, "Alas, I don't know where Grandma Qiao's daughter-in-law remarried, and how long has it been since her grandson came back to see her..."
He Xu said: "Let's wait for a chance to learn more about the situation later."
Su Xing nodded, "Yeah."
The two walked into the supermarket and He Xu pushed a shopping cart.
They bought a lot of meat, eggs, milk, fast food, fruits, snacks and other items.
When checking out, I filled two large shopping bags.
Su Xing could easily carry these things by himself.
He Xu was a grown man, so it was impossible for him to let his girlfriend carry things by herself. In fact, he wanted to carry both shopping bags.
However, when he picked up one shopping bag and wanted to reach out for another one, Su Xing had already picked it up.
He Xu knew that his girlfriend was very strong, so after thinking about it, he did not compete with her for the shopping bag, but instead held her hand.
Just like that, the two of them each carried a large bag of supplies, held hands, and walked towards the apartment...
When Stumbling Stone heard the door open, he immediately rushed to the door.
When it saw the master and mistress coming back together, its eyes widened even more.
“Meow~ meow~~”
It barked twice, rubbed Su Xing's calf, and then rubbed He Xu's calf.
Su Xing smiled and said, "Little thing, you are quite good at treating everyone equally."
He Xu also laughed, "That's fair."
They changed their shoes and went into the house.
The stumbling block ran to the cat cans and snack storage cabinet and jumped up with a "whoosh".
"Meow meow~~"
It barked at Su Xing and He Xu again.
He Xu, "Are you greedy again?"
Su Xing said, "I've already opened a can for it today, I can't give it any more."
He Xu smiled helplessly at the stumbling block and said, "You heard it. Your mother won't let you eat it, and Dad can't do anything about it."
"Meow!"
The stumbling block was unhappy. It turned its fat body over and pointed its fat buttocks at Su Xing and He Xu, looking out the window sadly...
When Su Xing heard He Xu call them "Dad" and "Mom", her face turned a little red and she lowered her head and pretended to organize the supplies in the shopping bag.
He Xu pursed his lips and smiled, then reached out to organize the supplies.
The two of them put the things that needed to be refrigerated or frozen into the refrigerator, and put the things that could be kept at room temperature into the storage basket.
Afterwards, He Xu took some semi-finished rice cakes, fish slaughtered in the supermarket, some ribs, yams and other items, and started to work in the kitchen.
Su Xing stared at He Xu.
He Xu was busy with his hands, and said, "Although lunch is a bit late, we still have to eat dinner. Stewing fish, yam and pork ribs are time-consuming. I think we can do it earlier."
Su Xing glanced at the time on the wall. It was a little after four in the afternoon. They had finished their meal at Grandma Qiao's house around three o'clock.
Many elderly people only eat two meals a day. After finishing their meals at that time, I guess Grandma Qiao won’t have dinner again.
However, Su Xing knew that he would definitely be hungry at night, so he originally planned to take He Xu out to find food later.
In fact, she was only about 50% full at Grandma Qiao's house.
Now seeing He Xu cooking, she understood clearly that he knew she was not full.
Su Xing felt warm in her heart, and her body acted faster than her brain.
She ran into the kitchen, hugged He Xu's waist from behind, and put her face on his back.
He Xu paused in washing the ribs, and his body became a little stiff.
The room became quiet, so quiet that one could hear the heartbeats of two people and... the sound of running water...
Su Xing let go of He Xu and said, "The faucet is not turned off, wasting water..."
He Xu immediately reached out and tightened the faucet.
He pulled out a piece of kitchen paper and wiped his hands quickly, then turned back to look at Su Xing, with some emotions surging in his eyes.
After waking up, he took a step back and wanted to leave...
He Xu reacted very quickly, reaching out to hold her shoulders, pressing her against the refrigerator next to him, and kissed her...
After an unknown amount of time, they heard a series of "bang bang" sounds.
The two of them parted their lips and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that the stumbling block had turned back into his body at some point.
Although it didn't bark this time, it stared at them with its cat eyes wide open, and its tail was flapping rhythmically on the locker.
Su Xing, He Xu: "..."
For the first time, He Xu felt that an open kitchen was not very convenient...
The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly for a while.
He Xu said, "Go watch some TV."
Su Xing didn't want to watch He Xu busying himself, so she said, "Let me peel the yam."
Cleaning yams is too prickly, and He Xu doesn't want Su Xing to do it.
He said, "There's no rush for yams. Go wash some vegetables and fruits first."
"Good~"
The young couple was busy in the kitchen for a while. They put the pork ribs and yam into the pot first, and then the other dishes were also prepared.
He Xu said, "Watch TV for a while, and then do other things later."
"Okay~"
The two of them snuggled on the sofa, eating fruits and snacks while randomly choosing a channel to watch.
Su Xing also heated up the roasted sweet potatoes that Old Mrs. Qiao gave him in the microwave and finished them.
He Xu took two bites of Su Xing's hand and said, "It's quite sweet~"
After eating the roasted sweet potatoes, Su Xing took out the string of candied haws that she had bitten one of, and shared it with He Xu, one by one.
It was quite appetizing, and she felt that she could eat quite a bit later!
He Xu looked at his girlfriend's mouth, which was full of food, and he also thought it was quite appetizing...
