The furniture had arrived, so Lin Chuxia’s luggage could finally be arranged.
Clothes were put into the wardrobe, daily necessities one by one were placed on the table, as well as teacups, a kettle, various cosmetics, small ornaments...
After Qin Yang had finished organizing the kitchen, he entered the room and saw the busy figure. In an instant, he felt that the courtyard, which seemed cold and clear just two days ago, had become lively and warm.
Someone called out Lin Chuxia’s name from outside, and it was clear it was Jiang Hong.
"I’ll go outside and take a look."
Lin Chuxia put down what she was doing and went out to welcome them.
Through the glass, Qin Yang saw her talking to the woman outside. He then lowered his head to look at the items she had been arranging.
Several exquisite cups, a pair of lucky dolls, and two fluffy little animals.
Just these simple few items instantly made the whole house feel cozy.
A faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth; he had been living alone for so many years, only now realizing the difference with or without a wife.
With a wife around, even the entire house smelled fragrant.
Outside, Lin Chuxia accepted the items passed over by Jiang Hong, thanking her continuously, "I had almost forgotten in all the busyness."
"I heard the discussions, a family moved a truckload of furniture in and guessed it was you. You’re probably not able to cook at this time, and it just so happens that the buns at my place just finished steaming. Don’t mind if my cooking isn’t to your taste."
"How could I? They smell delicious, and you can hear my stomach grumbling. I’m just setting things up in there, I’ll finish up soon."
Jiang Hong waved her off, "Let’s leave it at that for today. Li Wei is still waiting for me to have dinner with him. Some other time I’ll come and visit your new home."
At this, Lin Chuxia remembered something and leaned in closer, "When you first arrived, did you throw a party? I’ve heard that some residential compounds have a custom of warming the house, do we have it here?"
"I’ve inquired about that too; it’s up to personal preference. Like us, with Li Wei’s position being neither high nor low, there are fewer who host meals. In theory, with Mr. Qin’s position, it would be suitable to invite everyone to sit together. You should discuss this with Mr. Qin. I’ve heard there are quite a few people who got transferred this time and everyone has been busy moving and settling in, so I haven’t heard of anyone hosting a meal yet."
Lin Chuxia now had an idea, "Alright, I got it. If I really do host a party, you have to come and help me."
"Is that even a question? Of course, I’ll come."
For Mr. Qin to include them in his invitation was an honor for them.
"That’s settled then, just don’t let Li Wei say I’m bullying you as a pregnant woman."
"If he dares to say so, I definitely won’t let him off."
After a few more laughs, Jiang Hong left.
Lin Chuxia came inside and placed the plate on the table, "Jiang Hong brought over some buns, she said they were stuffed with Chinese cabbage, and I’m actually quite hungry."
Qin Yang glanced at his watch; indeed, it was getting late, "Shall we go out to eat?"
"Why go out? It’s perfectly nice here, and I quite like eating this."
Saying so, Lin Chuxia took a bite of the bun, "Mmm, Chinese cabbage with egg filling, and there’s vermicelli inside, too. Try it, it’s quite tasty."
She handed the bun to Qin Yang’s mouth, and he took a bite from her hand. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"How is it? Tasty, right?"
"It’s good," seeing her eat so appetizingly, Qin Yang was indeed hungry and didn’t insist on going out, "I’ll make us a couple bowls of soup in the kitchen."
While Lin Chuxia ate her bun, she followed him into the kitchen, watching him work.
Not to mention, when they were in the Northwest, the two ate together in the cafeteria, and at his home, there was no need for these men to cook. Lin Chuxia truly did not know that Qin Yang could cook so well.
