She hadn’t been away long? And such a big thing had happened?
Who did she go to save?
She turned to look at her son-in-law.
Before she could ask, Qin Mei, full of admiration, began to speak, "Auntie, my sister-in-law went to the hospital to save a boy..."
She rarely spoke much.
Madam Rong: ...
Well! If that was true, then she had to admit—her daughter was damn impressive.
A strong sense of pride welled up from the bottom of her heart.
How did she end up giving birth to such an incredible daughter?
"So, she didn’t have lunch?"
Qin Mei nodded. "Right, my sister-in-law has been there, from the morning until five in the afternoon, such a long time!"
Madam Rong felt so heartbroken, no wonder her plexion hadn’t looked good just now.
"Then I’ll go cook for her."
She not only prepared sweet rice dumplings but also salty ones, and of course, she made some plain sugar ones.
There was a fridge at home, so if there were leftovers, they could just put them in the fridge.
Then the reason she exploded with so much production was also planning to have her son-in-law take some to his workplace tomorrow since rice dumplings weren’t easily spoiled. Bringing them to share with colleagues would be fine, right?
"Mom, I’ll help you." Qin Ye didn’t wait for his mother-in-law to refuse, and he took the lead to the kitchen.
Madam Rong had to let him.
"Aren’t you guys also hungry? Just wait, it will be ready soon." She fried the fillings and prepared large wonton wrappers.
Hastily entered the kitchen.
And Qin Ye, who had gone in earlier, also knew what his mother-in-law was having for dinner.
And you know what, large wontons paired with rice dumplings... His wife loved them the most.
"Qin, are you hungry? Why not have a dumpling first?"
Qin Ye shook his head, "Mom, I’m not hungry yet, let’s eat together later."
His wife hadn’t eaten lunch and was still hungry, and he, who had eaten lunch, was in no rush.
Madam Rong nodded, "Alright, the fillings are ready, wrapping them will be quick."
At this moment, Qin Mei also walked in, "Auntie, I’ll help wrap."
The three of them were quite fast, and they finished in no time.
The fillings were already cooked, so only the outer layer of wrapper needed to cook, which would be very quick.
Rong Yan took a very fortable hot bath at her space villa, and she only came out after blow-drying her hair.
A cucumber she picked from the "space" was dangling from her mouth, and she was also carrying a basket.
When she brought these to the kitchen.
Madam Rong was surprised, "Where did you get this cucumber?"
"Of course, I bought it. Try it, it’s very fresh." Rong Yan handed over the basket.
Madam Rong looked down at the cucumbers in the basket, each one crisp and green, their fresh scent was quite tempting.
"Indeed, it is quite nice. How much did you pay for it?"
Free... Of course, Rong Yan wouldn’t say that, she vaguely prevaricated with a response, "Mom, why ask so much? Just eat them, oh, are you still going over there tonight?"
"Yes, I wasn’t there this afternoon, so I need to go keep vigil tonight." Otherwise, the relatives would talk.
If her daughter wasn’t going, and she didn’t go either, then the relatives probably would have a lot to say.
Rong Yan didn’t want to deal with that, as long as her mother had an idea in mind, just not to force her to stay with the old lady.
"Then let’s eat first!"
"Yes." Madam Rong went to get the rice dumplings, and Qin Ye went to dish up the large wontons.
They all brought them to the living room.
Madam Rong wanted to peel a rice dumpling for her daughter, but her son-in-law was a step faster, "Mom, eat yours, I’ll peel Yan Yan’s."
Madam Rong glanced at him, "Okay."
Rong Yan liked eating zongzi, but he wasn’t too fond of peeling the bamboo leaves; it was too sticky for his hands.
Qin Ye’s manual dexterity was strong, of course. He quickly got it done and stuck a chopstick into the zongzi before handing it to Rong Yan.
Rong Yan took it, took a bite, and immediately smiled brightly, "Mom, your skills are pretty good! It’s tasty."
"It’s tasty, but you can only eat two at most. Eating too much isn’t good." Glutinous rice digests slowly.
Qin Mei also liked to eat zongzi, but she preferred the plain ones because she thought that those mixed with white sugar had a stronger aroma.
The family ate quite cheerfully.
After Madam Rong finished eating, she didn’t let Qin Ye clean up, "Qin, don’t move; I’ll do it. It’s also good that I don’t want to go over so early."
"By the way, have you packed your stuff?"
Qin Ye nodded, "I’ve packed."
"Yanyan, give Qin a bit more money."
Rong Yan said, "Mom, he’s going to work, where does he need money? Don’t forget, his unit provides food and acmodation, even personal supplies, so there’s no need for money."
Madam Rong: ...... Look at this child being so stingy. When a man goes out, even if it’s for work, shouldn’t he carry some money?
Qin Ye quickly spoke up, "Mom, don’t give me money; I don’t need to spend any, and besides, I still have some on me. The unit also pays a salary, which is issued once a month. Once my salary es, I’ll save it for Yanyan and for the family."
Madam Rong: ......
This son-in-law is too good!
"Mom, don’t worry about this. We know what we’re doing! I’m actually a bit tired, I need to lie down for a while."
Hearing that she was tired, Madam Rong immediately said, "Then go and lay down!"
Rong Yan got up and left.
Mostly, she didn’t want to stay and listen to her mom’s nagging.
Not long after she returned to her room, Qin Ye came over, "Wife, you just finished eating; walk around a bit to digest."
It was zongzi after all; one couldn’t just lie down immediately.
"It’s okay." Rong Yan really didn’t feel like moving.
Seeing this, Qin Ye walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, "Let me massage your legs! You’ve been standing all day; they must be very tired."
Rong Yan glanced at him and did not refuse, "Okay, then go ahead!"
With a free masseur, what was there for her not to be happy about?
Qin Ye began... His strength was just right, not too light or too heavy. Before long, it made Rong Yan a bit drowsy.
Qin Ye’s hands continued moving, but his gaze drifted to her pale, jade-like face.
His mind started to drift... If his wife hadn’t gone to the countryside, would they have missed this fate between them?
For the first time, he felt grateful to fate.
For letting him meet her.
The next day, Rong Yan woke up, but this time she woke up quite early because she went to bed very early the night before.
So, she felt quite refreshed.
When she got up and went out, she saw the two old gentlemen sitting in the courtyard.
Rong Yan paused as she stepped over the threshold... She hadn’t washed her face yet. Did she have sleep in her eyes?
Little fairies might drink rosewater, but she ate grains and had eye boogers... Normal.
She was thinking about whether to go back to her space to wash her face before ing out again.
But the two old gentlemen had already seen her.
"Granddaughter-in-law, good morning!"
Rong Yan: ......
She felt a bit embarrassed. If she remembered correctly, it was now seven o’clock.
However, pared to the usual days when she slept until eight or nine o’clock, today was indeed a bit early.
Seeing the gaze from the two elders, Rong Yan still felt a bit pressured.
She bravely asked, "Grandfather, Elder Qi, why did you e over so early?"
