Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Wenwu walked over and saw a large food tray behind Su Binglan. Su Wenwu was shocked. “There are so many dishes!”
Su Wenxiu became excited. “I’ve already had dinner but am hungry again now.”
Su Wenzhe had also become a foodie. He went over to take a look, saying, “What’s all his, Little Sister?”
The family had tasted those home-cooked dishes before, but Su Wenzhe had no idea what was on one of the plates. Many mixed wild vegetables were on it.
“That’s a vegetable pancake,” Su Binglan explained, “The pancake Qiu He and the others made were a little tough. It would get soft after steaming, but I thought of a way to make vegetable pancakes.
“I added some wild vegetables and salt, then cut the pancake into small pieces and stir-fried them to make this. It should taste good. You should all try it, Big Brother.”
Su Wenzhe and the others were smiling. Of course, they were happy to try fresh food. They had already placed the rapeseed into sacks and loaded them onto the oxcart.
Su Fengmao heaved a sigh of relief. “There’s a lot of stuff on the cart, so there’s no need to load more goods tomorrow morning. We can just drive the oxcart to get oil.
“It’s still our most convenient way to transport things. We used to push a small cart to send our peanuts to get oil.”
In the past, the family could only rely on pushing a small cart when they did not have an oxcart. Indeed, it was tiring, but it became more convenient for the family to store things now that they had an oxcart.
Shen Qiuhua was shocked to see so much food. “Binglan, is there another reason why you cooked so much food? Don’t let your brothers finish it all.”
“Mother, didn’t I tell you I wanted Luo Kang, Qiu He, and Luo Juan to be in charge of the cafeteria at Blue Mountain Academy?” Su Binglan asked smilingly.
After pausing, she continued, “They don’t know much about cooking, so I taught them how to make home-cooked dishes. The dishes I taught them are simple so the students can have hot food. You guys have tried these dishes before, but try this vegetable pancake.”
Su Fengmao patted the dust off his body, went to wash his hands, wiped them, and quickly came over. “Your cooking is always delicious, my dear daughter.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at Su Wenzhe and the others hurrying to eat and said, “Go and wash your hands first.” Then she looked at Luo Jin’an beside her. “Jin’an, you can eat first.”
Although the family was always reluctant to let Luo Jin’an do any work, he would always silently help.
Shen Qiuhua felt a little apologetic. However, she and Su Fengmao always thought their son-in-law was terrific. So, whenever there was something delicious to eat, Shen Qiuhua would prioritize Luo Jin’an.
“That’s okay, Mother and Father-in-law. You can eat first,” Luo Jin’an insisted.
Shen Qiuhua was about to say something when her daughter interjected, “You can eat first, Mother. I already kept a portion aside for Jin’an.”
Then she passed the vegetable pancake she held to her husband as she continued, “This is for you.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at the loving couple and could not stop smiling. “Jin’an must be tired, Binglan. Take him to your room to rest.”
Su Binglan nodded. “All right then. Father, Mother, we’ll go back to rest in our room.
“Go on.”
Su Binglan gave the vegetable pancake to her husband when they returned to their room. She said, “It’s still hot. I added salt, but it should still taste good.
Try it.’
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife and smiled elegantly. He took the plate and used his chopsticks to pick some of the food up for his wife. “You’ve been busy the whole night and must be hungry. You should eat too.”
Su Binglan felt a warmth in her heart when she saw her husband’s actions.
‘He’s always so attentive. My family members might overlook this, but I know.’ She opened her mouth and took a bite. Then she said, “All right, you have some too.”
Luo Jin’an ate with the chopsticks while Su Binglan looked around and realized they used the same pair. Then Luo Jin’an said, “I’ve already arranged for someone to renovate the shed. It’ll be easier to cook if there was a kitchen there.”
Since Su Binglan already knew Luo Jin’an’s true identity, there were things he no longer needed to hide from her. Now, he could openly help her with many things.
Luo Jin’an’s words startled Su Binglan. She said, “You should have many things to do, so you won’t have to worry about these things. I can arrange for people to do the renovation.”
“But Zhengde is already building a house elsewhere with his team, ” Luo Jin’an said, “Xueye is busy with the embroidery shop. They won’t have time to renovate the shed at the academy. You’ll have to find someone else to handle it.”
After a pause, he looked at his wife thoughtfully and continued, “I also hope to help you so you can relax a little.
Su Binglan had always protected Luo Jin’an in the past, so he wanted to be able to protect her in the future. His words were quite pleasant for Su Binglan to hear. She felt touched as she listened.
She said thoughtfully, “But you’re not in good health, and I don’t want you to tire yourself out.”
“I’ll be okay with you here.” Luo Jin’an’s eyes were full of trust as he looked at his wife.
It made Su Binglan very happy. “That’s right. You’ll feel better with me around.” Her lips curled into a smile.
She had been nursing her husband’s body the whole time. She often checked his pulse and found that his physical condition was much better and his cold poison would not reoccur.
Still, Luo Jin’an could not use his martial arts. One day, Su Binglan would help him regain his skills.
“Oh right, Wenwu told me he learned some moves from you but didn’t know if they’ll work.”
“I told him he’ll know it’ll work at a critical moment.”
The couple talked simply, and everyone in the house was happy and harmonious. After eating the vegetable pancake, the couple washed up and went to bed.
Since it was already very late, Su Binglan slept as soon as she lay down. Luo Jin’an heard her light breathing and turned around. He saw her sweet smile through the moonlight and helplessly shook his head.
‘Is she just going to trust me and sleep peacefully like this?’
After looking at Su Binglan for a while, he covered her with the blanket before lying down again. He could not sleep because he kept thinking about the Gongsun family. His heart grew heavy when Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu mentioned the Gongsun family that night.
Meanwhile, Su Wenzhe and the rest were still eating their vegetable pancakes.
“Ah, it’s so delicious.”
“I didn’t expect the pancakes to be so delicious.”
“These are the simplest ingredients, but Little Sister can make such a delicious dish. It smells so good too.”
Liu Yinyin sighed with emotion as she ate. “In the past, the food we made would harden the second time we steamed them. We didn’t know to fry them like this.”
Shen Qiuhua nodded while eating. “Indeed, this is delicious. Binglan also said you could add ham and eggs to it. I’ll make it for you guys next time..”
