Chapter 88: Fortunately, I have Ying'er to accompany me
Shi Chunfen's cheeks turned red because of his serious words, and then she watched intently as he scooped up a spoonful of hawthorn soup and put it into her mouth. Her hawthorn soup was sweet but not greasy, sour but not astringent, and had a delicate texture.
With the faint scent of osmanthus, even though Chu Ling was used to eating delicacies outside, a simple bite at this moment also amazed him.
When I saw his eyes widening, I felt relieved.
Everyone can make hawthorn soup, but making it delicious is not an easy task.
Chu Ling ate the entire bowl of hawthorn soup in one breath. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but his stomach, which had been swollen, felt much better.
“Well done.”
These four short words will make the Spring Equinox smile.
Chu Ling had figured out her temper. She seemed to like others praising her cooking more than praising her.
"As long as the uncle likes it," Shi Chunfen said with a blushing face.
Her voice was soft and full of joy, and it entered Chu Ling's ears, making him feel that no matter how much he heard, he couldn't get enough.
But he just came back today, and when he was tired, it was difficult for Chu Ling to have other thoughts, "Is the bathhouse ready?"
After training in Huating, Chu Ling's bath water was now prepared by Shi Chunfen, so he naturally asked Shi Chunfen.
Shi Chunfen nodded slightly, but had no intention of letting him go, "Uncle, I want to go back to my parents' home in two days."
This was the first time she took the initiative to mention this to Chu Ling. After hearing this, Chu Ling nodded quickly, "I'll go back with you."
"No... no need." Shi Chunfen was so frightened that she waved her hand quickly. Although Chu Ling was already her husband, her aunt's family was a bit poorer after all. With such a noble status, Chu Ling would appear there rashly.
, I am afraid that I will frighten my aunt and the others, "I can just go by myself." She said hurriedly: "I just want to discuss with my aunt about opening a tea house, and I have no other intention."
The so-called other meaning naturally refers to Chu Ling not accompanying her back home before.
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and insisted: "Then I should go. No one knows more about the tea house than me. Let me see for myself so I can know whether your aunt is qualified for the job."
"Ah?" Shi Chunquin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot.
When Chu Ling said this, how could she refuse? She pursed her lips and said dejectedly: "Well, you can go if you want."
These words seemed to have a bit of anger, and Chu Ling suddenly burst into laughter. He stretched out his hand to hold the back of Shi Chunfen's hand, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I'm not here to find fault. I didn't have time to accompany you back because of my mother's matters.
Door, just make it up together this time."
Hearing this, Shi Chunfen was slightly startled. She thought that Chu Ling would not take this matter to heart, but she didn't expect that he would always remember it.
The originally depressed mood was instantly wiped away, replaced by full excitement, "But... my aunt's house is a little rough, and I'm afraid you won't get used to it."
"What are you not used to?" Chu Ling looked calm, "I have lived in a military camp, am I still afraid of a shabby room?"
Shi Chunfen felt relieved, but still a little uneasy, "My aunt and others are timid. Don't be so serious after you go."
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and subconsciously touched his chin, "Am I usually serious?"
Shi Chunquin looked at him and carefully shrank his neck. If he wasn't serious, no one in the world would be serious.
So the matter of returning to her parents' home was decided. Until the spring equinox, when she was lying on the bed to rest, she still felt that the whole thing was a bit weird. It was too sudden that such a noble son like Chu Ling was actually willing to accompany her back to her parents' home.
Quite a bit.
Although the matter was settled, one could not rush back as soon as he returned to Chu's house, so the day to return to his parents' house was scheduled for two days later, and before that, he had to meet the old lady and others at the Spring Equinox.
Because the old lady wanted to be alone with Chu Ling yesterday, she deliberately didn't bother her. But early the next morning, Shi Chunfen quickly took Li Yan and Yu Atu to the old lady's place, intending to pay her respects early. Ling Shi
What made Spring Equinox feel embarrassed was that when their group passed by, Aunt Liu also took Chu Qian and Chu Ying there to chat with the old lady.
Even though Chu Ying always makes things difficult for Shi Chunfen, she and Chu Qian are usually very sweet in front of the old lady, which often makes the old lady happy. In addition, they are always their biological granddaughter, even though she is a concubine.
But blood is thicker than water. The old lady looked at the two of them and felt obviously much happier.
As soon as the spring equinox came, the originally cheerful atmosphere was broken. Everyone looked at each other and became much quieter.
Fortunately, the Spring Equinox has always been calm. Even under such circumstances, he still bowed down respectfully to say hello to the old lady, "Wish you greetings on the Vernal Equinox to grandma, and may my grandma be blessed."
The old lady laughed and stretched out her hand to signal her to get up, "Come on, come on, grandma, why do you look so thin just after you came back from Huating?"
Shi Chunquin quickly stood up and sat down next to the old lady obediently. She had indeed lost some weight, but it was just because of running around and working hard that she had lost some weight.
"Maybe I'm tired from the journey, so I look thin." She smiled lightly. In front of the old lady, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
The old lady nodded slightly, took her hand over, and patted it gently, "You and A Ling have been gone for so long. My old lady misses you so much. Fortunately, Qian'er and Ying were there when you were away.
Having my son by my side finally dispelled a lot of my loneliness."
These words were for Chu Ying's return. Shi Chunfen glanced at her and saw that she was shrinking and did not dare to look at her. She didn't know if she was pretending in front of the old lady or if she really went to Liuzhuang and restrained her temper.
A lot.
She knew it well, and smiled lightly at the old lady and said: "It's very good. With two younger sisters, I feel at ease when I go out with two younger sisters."
She specifically emphasized "two people" because she did not mean to embarrass Chu Ying.
The old lady nodded with satisfaction and waved to Chu Ying, "Girl Ying, didn't you say you would have a gift for my sister-in-law when she comes back? Why don't you come over now?"
When Chu Ying was called by the old lady, she immediately took a stack of copybooks from under her seat and took it up respectfully, "During the time when my eldest brother and sister-in-law are away, Ying'er has prayed for you every day and specially written a few copybooks for you.
Sister-in-law, I hope you like it."
Seeing that she had been prepared for a long time, it was only at the spring equinox that she realized that Aunt Liu and her party had come to the old lady early on purpose to wait for her. She was amused in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She quickly reached out and took the copybook, "Thank you, second sister.
