962 Still a chance ——2
------------------Li Yuya's eyes turned red as she nodded, she believed her father as he never lied to her, unlike her mother who was a liar. When she married Min Yan, she promised that she will continue to treat her well but as soon as Min Yan married into their family, Li Sangyu threw her and her father in the shack behind their house!
Chen Mi felt his heart stifle when he saw the little girl's hesitation in eating eggs. He felt her pain, sympathizing with her as he knew it very well, when Yu Dong was not sensible, Old Master Tong hit him many times when he also tried to take eggs from the coop even though those hens and chickens were brought by his mother in law, he was not allowed to eat even one egg!
Thus, he decided to work hard and make the world's most delicious scrambled eggs and seafood porridge, in which he only added the thinnest fillets of the fish as he was afraid that the father and daughter pair will have a hard time digesting thick ones.
As he was cooking, he picked up the reddest tomato which was so soft and juicy that one felt hungry just by looking at it. He decided to fry the eggs with the most fresh tomatoes and by the most fresh ones, he meant the ones which were grown by Yu Dong.
The ones which were grown by Yu Dong were the sweetest and even the sourness was just right, even if they were to serve raw these tomatoes would still taste like some imperial cuisine. Thus, when Chen Mi chopped the tomatoes up and fried them together with eggs, the smell which came out of the wok made Li Yuya let go of her father and turn to look at Chen Mi.
She blinked her eyes and looked at the glistening eggs which looked extremely rich and unique while the red tomatoes were a striking contrast to those fluffy yellow pieces scattered in the wok. She swallowed her saliva since she was worried that Chen Mi would think of her as a glutton.
But her small actions were still caught by Chen Mi and the rest seeing this, Fang Chi walked inside the kitchen and then picked up a pair of clean chopsticks and then took a bite of the eggs which were cooked by Chen Mi and hummed in delight, "It is really delicious, who is not eating it warm is really missing out."
He then turned to look at Li Yuya and brought a small piece of egg with a piece of red tomato sticking to it and placed it in front of her lips and said, " Do you want to miss out? A warm meal is God's greatest blessing and the heavens only bless one with a warm meal when they are fortunate enough."
Though it was not a big thing for many but for someone like Li Yuya, they have to remind her again and again that she was lucky. And that the heavens did not abandon her and nor was she a jinx.
When Li Yuya heard Fang Chi's words her eyes lit up, does this mean that she was no longer unlucky? Because she was now blessed with a warm meal as well!
She looked at Fang Chi who urged her to take a bite and then bit into the piece of egg which was brought close to her mouth. As soon as Li Yuya took a bite, she was stunned —— she did not think that eggs were so tasty no wonder her grandfather didn't share if she knew that these were so good, she would have never shared as well.
When Ye Liu saw the gleam in Li Yuya's eyes, he knew what she was thinking and hurriedly chimed in, " Is it delicious? Our eggs and tomatoes are different from the rest as they are raised and grown with a secret formula. Thus they taste better than the tomatoes sold in the market…" he did not tell Li Yuya and Yu Le that these tomatoes were sold for more than three taels half a catty lest they felt burdened while eating them.
At first, Li Yuya thought that Ye Liu was only joking with her but then she heard her father gasp. With a turn of her head, she looked at Yu Le who had his mouth covered with one of his hands and was chewing on the eggs which were handed to him by Shen Li in a bowl.,
" You are right, these eggs really taste much better than the ones which were grown at our village…
even these eggs. Though they are fatty they are not greasy and heavy, I don't feel my stomach churning at all," as Yu Le ate he suddenly thought whether the Li family did not know how to raise chickens and hens. If not how can eggs in two families be so different?
There was one time when Li Sangyu allowed him to eat eggs and that was when he was pregnant back then he thought that the egg which he ate during his pregnancy was the most delicious thing ever but now that he was eating the eggs which were laid by the Yu family's hens, he realised that he was just a frog in the well.
When Li Yuya heard that the eggs and tomatoes were indeed better than the Li family and were really delicious, she felt a sense of pride. Though luck came late to her, she was more fortunate than her siblings!
Seeing the proud smile on the little girl's face everyone knew what she was thinking but no one said anything as they knew it was quite easy for a child to become happy. Even Yu Le smiled seeing his daughter act so childishly, he heaved a sigh of relief, he thought that after living in the Li family for so many years, his daughter must have been scarred for life but now that he was looking at Li Yuya's smiling face, he knew that there was still chance for his daughter to leave her past behind.
