Chapter 1077: The Cuckoo Occupies the Magpie's Nest 55
"My father and I survived the most difficult years. My father took good care of me, but my father's health was damaged. In the third year after returning to the city, his organs failed. My uncle asked the most famous doctor in the capital to save my father, but unfortunately, my father did not survive."
"My father died when I was nine years old, and I have been living with my uncle ever since. I was raised by my uncle, and in my heart, he is my second father."
Yuanchun praised, "Your uncle raised you very well, and your father is also a great father."
"Well, I always remember my dad. I didn't starve to death when I was a kid, all thanks to my dad." Xue Yi sighed, then suddenly smiled and said, "I should have talked to you about something light-hearted, but let's not talk about that anymore. Yuanchun, there's a barbecue over there, let's buy some grilled lamb skewers."
"I just digested the food, and you eat again."
"I want to eat, let's eat less and buy some."
"Ok."
The two of them happily bought ten kebabs of lamb and walked around the park three times before they finished all the kebabs without getting any indigestion.
In the evening, Xue Yi took Yuanchun to a beef offal restaurant to eat beef offal soup and pies.
After dinner, Xue Yi sent Yuanchun home.
The next day, at half past seven, Xue Yi came to pick up Yuanchun. "I guess you must be up. I'll take you to a nearby soy milk breakfast shop to drink soy milk and fried dough sticks."
"I'm not used to sour bean juice, so I made sweet soy milk. Would you like some? I also made fried scallion dough sticks myself."
Xue Yi's eyes lit up, "I am so lucky to be able to taste your cooking."
Why would you bother drinking sour bean juice when you can eat the meal cooked by your loved one?
Xue Yi drove Xue Jin's car to Yuanchun's yard, then went to the well to wash his hands, went into the house and looked around.
"Your house is decorated in a very elegant and warm way," he praised.
While he was washing his hands, Yuanchun quickly took out a bowl of sweet soy milk, a plate of scallion-flavored fried dough sticks, a small plate of poached eggs, and a few dishes of pickles from the space.
The scallion-flavored small dough sticks are stored in a space right after they come out of the pot. When they are taken out now, the small dough sticks are still hot, sizzling with oil, and crispy.
When Xue Yi entered the room, he saw a sumptuous breakfast on the table. He looked at Yuanchun in surprise, "Young people don't like to get up on weekends, but you are an exception. You must have gotten up very early to make so much breakfast, right?"
"I got up at half past six. I can cook quickly."
Yuanchun asked him to sit down, brought him a bowl and chopsticks, and served him a bowl of sweet soybean milk. "I made the pickles myself, too. Try them and see if they are delicious. If you like them, I'll pack a few jars for you to take away. I made quite a lot."
"I didn't expect you to be such a good cook. It looks like I'll be in for a treat in the future."
Judging from how fast Xue Yi eats, you can tell that Yuanchun is a very good cook and the food suits Xue Yi’s taste very well.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Xue Yi still looked unsatisfied, "It's so delicious. This small fried dough stick is more fragrant than the ones you buy outside."
"If you like it, I'll make it for you next time."
"Well, I will come to your place for meals often in the future."
After Xue Yi finished eating, he rushed to wash the dishes, "You are responsible for cooking, and I am responsible for washing the dishes. Let's divide the work and cooperate."
Next, Yuanchun took three days off and accompanied Xue Yi around the imperial capital. Their relationship grew deeper and deeper. When Xue Yi was about to report to the research institute, Yuanchun was actually reluctant to leave.
"I just started working at the institute and haven't participated in any research yet, so I won't be too busy. I'll come to your place for dinner in the evening and I'll light the fire for you."
The weather was cool these two days, so Yuanchun used the big stove to cook and heat up the kang at the same time.
"Okay, I'll make you some crispy chops."
