Chapter 42: It's worth it!
Shi Xiaoai took out another small steel pot, poured the contents of the work, including the soup and vegetables, into the small pot, put it on the fire to simmer slowly, and then began to shred the kelp.
She told Cheng Yang: "Go and take out the small briquette stove and light a fire, then carry it with the brazier to the living room. Let's make hot pot here."
Mingrui and Mingxi didn't understand what hot pots were either, but Intuition told them it must be delicious. Hearing what their mother said, the two children cheered and shouted together: "Let's eat the hot pot, let's eat the hot pot!"
Cheng Yang naturally knew that the hot pot generally refers to mutton boiling. His family is from the capital and the earliest. Even when the conditions at home are good, I eat less.
But now that there is a shortage of oil and vegetables, let alone lamb, he doesn't understand what his wife said about the hot pot that can be used to scald it?
But no matter what, I will do whatever my wife tells me to do.
Moreover, just by smelling the smell in the pot, Cheng Yang knew that his wife's cooking skills were many times higher than his own!
In fact, he felt a little strange. Where did Xiao Ai learn this good cooking skill? I remember that when they got married, she couldn't even light a fire.
The whole family relies on his cooking skills.
But thinking about it again, he couldn't help but feel heavy -
whether it was the sudden increase in force or the fact that she had learned cooking skills, were these changes in his wife forced by the environment? Because you have to take care of your children by yourself, and you have to become a strong mother?
Thinking of this, Cheng Yang took a deep breath and quickened his pace.
After the stove was lit, Shi Xiaoai moved the small steel pot over.
At this time, shredded kelp, fungus, cabbage gangbang, and red and white radish slices have been put into the pot.
Black, white, green, red...
all kinds of winter vegetables eaten for a long time are tumbling in the milky white soup. Looking at them makes people suddenly have a strong appetite again.
Mingrui and Mingxi no longer need to be held by their father. They sit on a small bench and gather around the stove. They have roasted sweet potatoes in their hands and look at the pot, smacking each bite.
The sweet potatoes that were so sweet before lost their allure in front of the soup pot...
This meal is the most comfortable meal the family has eaten since Cheng Yang came back.
In the hospital before, although Cheng Yang was willing to spend money, the meals he bought included vegetables and meat, which were costly. But after all, the environment is not good, and neither child is feeling well, especially Mingxi, who has to be fed at the beginning. Eating is like a war, and everyone wants to end it quickly.
Such a hot, warm and delicious meal made everyone extremely satisfied.
After the meal, the two cubs ran to the bedroom to play with their toys while the couple stayed in the kitchen to clean up.
Cheng Yang didn't let Shi Xiaoai touch the cold water, but she didn't argue. Instead, she filled half the water in the kettle and asked the man to wash it with hot water. Cheng Yang didn't refuse.
While Cheng Yang was washing the dishes, Shi Xiaoai returned to the room and changed her clothes. When she returned, she said to the man: "You keep an eye on both of them; I'll go out for a while." Cheng Yang stopped his hand. He made a move and asked: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Director Yu's house." Shi Xiaoai didn't hide it from him. She told him she had gone to Master Liu's house before, and Master Liu suggested that the office give a certificate. She forgets for a moment.
Then she said: "I want to talk to Director Yu tonight so I can go directly to the office to issue the certificate tomorrow morning. Otherwise, it will be too delayed if she is not there tomorrow morning. Cheng Yang wiped the water on his hands and asked, "You're going just like that?"
Shi Xiaoai looked at herself up and down but found nothing wrong, so she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this okay?"
"You come over here." Cheng Yang said, pulling her back to the main bedroom with him.
He dug out the large envelope that Xiao Ai had put back in the cabinet before and dumped all the bills on the table regardless of her obstruction.
"Many of these tickets are dated. It would be a pity that you have to let them expire." He said while pulling on the table.
Soon, he found a yellow ticket and gave it to Shi Xiaoai, saying: "No one in our family smokes. Please give this ticket to Director Yu to thank her. We have caused trouble to people these days. And again, she introduced Dr. Yin as the one who helped us again, so I would like to thank her."
Shi Xiaoai felt that what Cheng Yang said made sense, and she had ignored it before.
There is no need to use the money, but there is no reason for the tickets to expire and be wasted.
She knew that Cheng Yang was trying to find a way out for her. At the same time, he was reminding her that it's okay to be polite to many people and not ask for help empty-handed. Money is often not as valuable as human kindness.
Shi Xiaoai took the ticket, looked at it, and found that it said five packs of Yun brand cigarettes. It was the first time she saw this thing, and it seemed so novel, but it was hard to show that she had never seen it in front of this person.
She put the ticket in her pocket and said something before going out.
"Hold the flashlight! It's going to be dark soon!" Cheng Yang chased after her.
After walking up to her, he said hesitantly: "How about we go with you? There's not even a streetlight outside. I'll take them and wait for you outside." "Forget it; it's such a cold day!"
Shi Xiaoai didn't expect that what he said after chasing him out was this, and she immediately pushed him angrily: "Go back quickly; don't leave them alone at home." After saying that,
she ignored the man and walked forward quickly.
Director Yu's house was just a short distance away, and it only took about ten minutes to walk there. Shi Xiaoai walked there quickly.
After entering the door, Xiao Ai first thanked her and then stuffed the ticket in her pocket into Director Yu's hand.
After seeing clearly what it was, Director Yu was startled and quickly gave in.
When Xiao Ai explained that Cheng Yang gave it to her, she happily accepted it. She smiled brightly, and the wrinkles on her face became a little deeper.
From Director Yu's words, Shi Xiaoai knew that this cigarette is currently recognized as the best brand on the market. Let alone five packs; it would be honourable to share a pack if there is a banquet at home.
Director Yu's youngest son is getting married soon, and this ticket will make her son's wedding even grand.
After chatting, Shi Xiaoai finally explained her intention, and Director Yu immediately agreed without hesitation.
She also offered to get her the certificate now without delaying her use tomorrow morning.
Shi Xiaoai was naturally overjoyed.
At this time, no one could be seen in the office.
It may be because no subordinates are around, but Director Yu is much more talkative than usual.
Not only did she happily stamp the certificate written by Shi Xiaoai, but she also did not refuse when she asked for two more letters of introduction in case of emergency and she stamped two blank ones for her on the spot.
Holding those pieces of paper, Shi Xiaoai felt the ticket was worth it!
