After getting home, Qin Yang hadn’t returned yet, so Lin Chuxia went straight into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
The noodles had to be hand-pulled, they say soft dough for dumplings and tough dough for the soup, but Lin Chuxia particularly liked eating noodles made with soft dough.
But this required cooking skills.
After kneading the dough, she began preparing the fried sauce.
Pork belly cut into small dices, soybean paste and cooking wine mixed to the right thickness, and spring onions chopped into fine pieces.
Just as everything was ready, Qin Yang returned from outside.
Probably hearing the noise in the kitchen, he first took a peek inside.
Lin Chuxia was heating oil, and without turning her head, she said, "We’re having fried sauce noodles for lunch."
A warm presence pressed up against her back, a ticklish kiss landed on her cheek, and it seemed like there was a man’s murmur by her ear, "Wife, you’ve worked hard."
Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but turn her head, only to see the man sticking close behind her, one hand wrapped around her waist, and the other still holding a file bag, his attractive peach-blossom eyes full of tenderness.
Lin Chuxia: "..."
She really hadn’t expected to be struck by such stunning beauty every day.
The fragrant diced meat sauce, the thinly shredded cucumber, the blanched soybean sprouts, paired with the chewy noodles, truly never got tired of eating it.
After lunch, Qin Yang rested for a bit before heading to the office, and Lin Chuxia started tidying up the study.
The thing Qin Yang brought back from the Northwest were his books, the most numerous of all.
Several large boxes, not yet placed on the bookshelf.
While she was busy, there was a noise from outside. Lin Chuxia thought it was Jiang Hong coming over to visit again, but when she went out, she saw Sister-in-law Feng and her daughter Feng Jingjing.
She knew that a few of Qin Yang’s colleagues from the Northwest had been transferred over, but she hadn’t expected other acquaintances besides Li Wei and his spouse.
However, Lin Chuxia really wanted to keep Sister-in-law Feng at arm’s length.
Sister-in-law Feng didn’t feel the same way, greeting Lin Chuxia with her usual warmth.
"I heard yesterday that Mr. Qin’s family had arrived, and true enough, who would’ve thought we would have such a fate. It’s such good luck for our Da Jun to be transferred with Mr. Qin, even us mother and daughter get to bask in the reflected glory."
Here we go again.
Lin Chuxia couldn’t be bothered to respond to her talk, and cut straight to the point, "Sister-in-law, is there something you need?"
"Not really, just heard you’ve arrived, brought the kid to have a look. Tsk-tsk, it’s been several months since we last met in the Northwest, now tell me, how can you always look so fresh? Nothing like us who toil in the soil, born to endure hardship, even with good days, can’t achieve the fair skin of city folks."
Hehe, she had no way to respond to this.
