Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

"Shu'er, I'm teasing you because of my husband, but you answered so seriously. Even if you have a past life and a present life, you still have to drink Meng Po soup when crossing Naihe Bridge. How can you still remember the past life?" Su Yi said with a smile, He didn't expect that Lin Shu could be so cute sometimes.

Lin Shu reacted instantly. Fortunately, Su Yi didn't take it seriously, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

"Hmph! My husband can tease me, but can't I tease him in return?" Lin Shu said, pretending to be angry.

Seeing Lin Shu pouting, Su Yi quickly comforted Lin Shu and said:

"It's because you acted so sincerely that my husband laughed."

Lin Shu sat up, looked at Su Yi and said:

"Husband, if you laugh at me again next time, I won't give you food, and you won't even think about going back to your room to sleep."

"Okay, okay, I don't dare to be my husband anymore." Su Yi quickly hugged Lin Shu and begged for mercy. If he was really not allowed to go back to the room to sleep, he would be sad to death.

Soon the carriage arrived at Dongshi.

"Two bosses, we are here." Chen Laoer said to Su Yi and Lin Shu inside the curtain.

"Okay." Su Yi replied, then helped Lin Shu up, checked Lin Shu's makeup, then came out first, and then helped Lin Shu get out of the car.

After Lin Shu stood firm, she said to Chen Laoer on the carriage:

"Brother Chen, please park the carriage in the first alley in front. We will come back after we buy the things. It will take about half an hour. You will be here to pick us up in half an hour."

"Okay, I'll go right away. Boss, please slow down. If you need help moving anything, just come to me in the alley."

"Drive, drive." Chen Laoer said and drove away in the carriage.

Lin Shu and Su Yi entered the wet market in Dongshi.

"Take a look, take a look! Freshly baked buns."

"Two distinguished guests, would you like some steamed buns?" the steamed bun shop owner said to Lin Shu and Su Yi.

"Thank you, boss, we'll come back later." Lin Shu thought about buying some steamed buns for Chen Laoer later. She wanted to buy vegetables later, but it was inconvenient to carry them now.

"Okay! You're welcome, sir."

"I'm selling candied haws!"

"Sir, look at our cabbage and radishes. They are all fresh."

"Fresh big sesame cakes cost three copper coins each. Fresh big sesame cakes cost three copper coins each."

The shop owner in Dongshi shouted enthusiastically.

"Auntie, how much does your chicken cost?"

"Madam, you have good taste. Our chickens are all fat and strong, and they cost ten coppers each."

Lin Shu saw that the price was not very expensive and the chickens were suitable for making beggar's chickens, so she started to choose.

"Auntie, I want this one, this one with black fur."

"Okay, madam, please wait a moment. I'll tie it up with a rope so you can take it back."

Lin Shu gave ten copper coins. The chicken seller wrapped the tied chicken in a shabby cloth bag and handed it to Su Yi next to Lin Shu. He covered the chicken's body with the cloth bag to prevent it from going back. Chickens poop for fear of soiling people's clothes.

Lin Shu bought the chicken and walked to the meat stall.

"Mrs. Su, you are here." The pork seller greeted Lin Shu and Su Yi with a smile.

"Boss, are the two pig trotters and ten pig feet that I asked you to keep yesterday still there?"

"Mrs. Su, I'm all dressed up and waiting for you to come. I'm afraid you won't forget to come today."

The owner of the pork shop said as he took out the pork that Lin Shu had reserved in advance.

"It's a bit heavy, hold it and walk slowly."

Su Yi was the one carrying everything, and Lin Shu was only responsible for paying.

"Boss, this is the tail gold, you count it."

The boss weighed the money.

"Just in time, Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, please walk slowly."

"Shu'er, do you have any other vegetables to buy?"

"Husband, please put the carriage on the carriage first and then come over! I'll wait for you at the vegetable seller's place in the corner." Lin Shu saw that Su Yi's hands were already full, so she asked him to put the carriage away first and then come over.

"Okay, don't run around, I'll be here soon."

"Wait a minute, go get two coins, and pass by the steamed bun shop to bring some steamed buns to Brother Chen."

The meat buns cost two copper coins each, and the vegetable buns cost three copper coins each, so Su Yi bought three vegetable buns and two meat buns, which were exactly two copper coins.

Chen Laoer saw Su Yi carrying something towards him from a distance, and he quickly got up to help get the things.

"Master, there are so many things. Just come and call me and I will help you get them."

"No need, Brother Chen, please keep an eye on the carriage."

With that said, Su Yi handed the bun wrapped in oil paper to Chen Laoer.

"These are the buns that my wife asked me to buy for you. You can put some on your belly and remember to eat them while they are hot."

Chen Laoer took the bun.

"Thank you two hosts."

"Brother Chen, Shu'er is still waiting for me at the vegetable market. I'll go pick her up first. You keep an eye on the carriage."

"Master, go ahead! I'm here, don't worry."

Soon, Su Yi found Lin Shu.

"Husband, you came just in time. I have already bought it." Lin Shu pointed to the two sacks on the ground and said.

Su Yi opened one of the sacks and saw that potatoes, radishes, and sweet potatoes were all mixed together.

Su Yi looked at the other one, cabbage and a lot of green and red peppers.

"Why did you buy so many?" Su Yi asked doubtfully.

"There is nothing left to eat at home. If you buy it back, you can eat it for a few more days."

Then the two bought a big fish, some shrimps and crabs.

Later, Lin Shu and Su Yi took the sacks, fish, shrimps, and crabs to the carriage together, and then bought some oil, rice noodles, and seasonings.

Not only that, when Mrs. Lin returned home, she brought some snacks back to entertain the guests as Lin Shu had asked.

Because Lin Shu did not dare to kill the chicken, Su Yi and Chen Laoer killed the chicken together and gave it to Lin Shu to marinate.

Lin Shu first marinated the chicken according to the recipe of beggar's chicken in her memory, and then kept the fish in a large bucket until it was killed the next day.

As for the pork trotters, Lin Shu plans to make braised pork trotters, and the pig trotters will be used to make sauce-flavored pork trotters. She has marinated them all.

At this time, Su Yuanyuan stood on tiptoes and watched Lin Shu do her work.

"Sister-in-law, will my brother's friend come tomorrow?"

"Yes! I will prepare delicious pig's trotters for you to eat tomorrow."

After getting ready, the family made dinner first. After dinner, Lin Shu was worried and walked around the kitchen several times, carefully reviewing the menu for the next day to see if there was anything missing.

After all, this is the first time Su Yi invites colleagues to his home for dinner, so he must be thoughtful.

Lin Shu clapped her fingers and said:

"The wine is Nuerhong. The main dishes include beggar's chicken, soy-flavored pork trotters, braised pork trotters, and steamed fish. The vegetarian dishes include fried shredded potatoes, fried cabbage, and fried tofu. To go with the wine, there are fried peanuts and cold cucumbers."

There were nine dishes in total, and there was still one dish left. Just when she was thinking about what to do with the remaining dish, Mother Lin came over with a piece of beef.

"Miss, my uncle asked Liu Huyuan to send a piece of beef."

"It's just right. I'll make a cold beef dish tomorrow so that my husband and his friends can drink with it."
