A foreign city, dear you

"Don't think too much. It has come to this. It's useless to think about it. You have worked so hard in Tongxin Factory for so many years. Now that Tongxin Factory is gone, you might as well take a good rest. Besides, the New Year will be here in two months. You have been in Yancheng for so many years, and you haven't had a good rest yet."

When Cao Xueqian heard this, he seemed to have grasped a talisman and specifically stated: "You said, you said let me rest."

"Look at what you said," Ye Lian complained, "It's as if I never allowed you to rest. Am I treating you as a money-making machine?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's okay if you treat me as a money-making machine. Men are money-making machines."

"You said that, I didn't say that."

"Then it's settled. I'll rest at home, and you are not allowed to look down on me."

"Haha, are you afraid that if we stay together every day, we'll get tired of each other?"

"It's not about looking at each other, it's mainly about you looking at me. I won't get tired of you anyway. I can't get enough of looking at you every day."

Ye Lian burst out laughing: "You are the only one who talks nonsense. Are you afraid that I will annoy you? Why don't you be a little more obedient and treat your wife better?"

"Look, look," Cao Xueqian said cautiously, "You still have conditions, right?"

"Haha," Ye Lian laughed, "Is this a condition? The key is that it's not difficult, and it's what I should do, right?"

Cao Xueqian glanced at Ye Lian and said, "Looking at your eyes, why do I feel like there is a big conspiracy hidden deep inside?"

Ye Lian hit Cao Xueqin and said, "What conspiracy do you have? What bad intentions can I have? You are like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know the good heart. I told you to rest but you are still suspicious. Why don't you go out and make money? Then you won't worry about my conspiracy and you will feel at ease."

"It's hard, isn't it? I'm still destined to make money, but I've been away from the underworld for many years, and there's no longer any legend about me in the underworld. Moreover, the underworld is no longer the same as it used to be, it's changed a long time ago."

"So, let's take a rest first and learn how to walk."

"Okay, I'll just stay at home with you and your wife for now, at least until next year."

"How many laps have we run?"

"do not know."

"Just run for another ten minutes, then we'll go buy groceries. I'll teach you how to buy groceries first."

"Oh help! I said there was a conspiracy, right?"

"Haha."

************************

That morning, Ye Lian and Cao Xueqin finished running and came back from buying vegetables.

Cao Xueqin is now a standard vegetable porter.

Ye Lian was responsible for buying groceries, and he was responsible for carrying them.

After entering the house, Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqin to put the dishes in the kitchen, and Cao Xueqin did so.

Cao Xueqin walked into the kitchen and saw the soybeans that Ye Lian had soaked in the stainless steel bowl on the stove, so he shouted, "Lian, you haven't ground your soybean milk yet."

Ye Lian said, "Then you help me grind it, take it outside and grind it, I will take a shower and change clothes."

Cao Xueqin replied with a long "OK", then took out the soy milk maker and went to the living room dining table to grind the soy milk.

After Ye Lian came out of the shower, Cao Xueqin went to take a shower and change clothes.

Ye Lian put on her clothes, tidied up the room, and went to the kitchen to busy herself.

Wash the dishes first, clean the stove, and then organize the vegetables in the bag.

I bought a lot of vegetables today, and some of them need to be put in the refrigerator.

The kitchen in this rented house is very small, and the refrigerator can only be placed in the living room. Even the disinfection cabinet can only be placed in the living room. Just now, Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqin to go outside to grind soy milk because this kitchen is too small and two people will not be able to move around.

Ye Lian put the vegetables and fruits away and took out the meat.

It is suitable to eat mutton in winter. Ye Lian saw that mutton is good today, so she bought more lamb chops. She couldn’t eat so much at noon, so she took bags to pack the extra lamb chops and put them in the freezer of the refrigerator.

Ye Lian was busy when Cao Xueqin came to the kitchen door, carefully holding a bowl of soy milk in his hand and said, "The soy milk is here."

Ye Liankong took the soy milk.

The soy milk was still a little hot, and Ye Lian drank it slowly.

Cao Xueqin leaned against the door and watched Ye Lian drink. After watching for a while, he asked her, "Is it sweet?"

Ye Lian took another sip and paid special attention to the taste on the tip of her tongue, which seemed to have a faint sweetness.

"Sweet." said Ye Lian.

"Then do you know why it's sweet?" Cao Xueqin asked with a smile.

“Did you add sugar?”

"No."

"Why is it sweet?"

"Because," Cao Xueqian paused deliberately, and then said seriously: "I added a lot of love."

"Haha——" Ye Lian found Cao Xueqin's serious expression so funny that she almost burst out laughing, and she was in danger of swallowing a mouthful of soy milk.

Cao Xueqian looked very hurt and said aggrievedly: "She expressed her love to you so passionately, how could you treat her like a joke?"

When Ye Lian saw Cao Xueqin's aggrieved look, she found it even funnier. She laughed so hard that the soy milk in the bowl was about to spill out. She couldn't drink it, so she had to leave it on the stove.

Cao Xueqin saw Ye Lian almost laughed to death and also laughed at the door.

Suddenly, Cao Xueqin's cell phone, which was placed on the dining table in the living room, rang, and he went to the living room to answer the call...

*

It took Ye Lian a while to stop laughing, and then she finished the bowl of soy milk.

In fact, Ye Lian was a little uncomfortable at first when Cao Xueqin was resting at home.

In the past, every morning, Cao Lanshan went to school and Cao Xueqin went to work, and Ye Lian was alone at home.

Everyone has his or her own little world.

The morning is very busy. I run, buy groceries, go home to clean the house, and then soon I have to start preparing lunch.

Because Cao Lanshan has to go home on time for lunch, the meal must be prepared before Cao Lanshan goes home, so as not to disturb Cao Lanshan's rest.

When Cao Lanshan entered the elite class, Ye Lian was a little worried at first. She was afraid that he would not be able to adapt and that he would be under too much pressure. After all, he was surrounded by outstanding people and strong competitors. If he was not careful, he might lose his ranking or even drop significantly.

However, Cao Lanshan still does the same thing as before when he returns home every day, listening to songs, humming little tunes, and is still the "toilet singer". He seems to be in a good mood and has adapted well.

Gradually, Ye Lian was less worried. As long as the child was in a good mood, there was nothing else to worry about. She just had to provide support and logistical support.

……

In the afternoon, Ye Lian cleaned up the house, and if there was nothing else to do, she would have some free time.

During this time, she can read a book or even write something.

Ever since her last work "Eternal Mother's Love" received a small response, Ye Lian's interest in writing has been unprecedentedly high.

She specially prepared a writing book, and when she had some writing inspiration or the urge to write, she would sit down at her desk and write.

When writing, you often get stuck and need to quietly ponder a sentence or a paragraph. At the beginning, you have no idea what to do, but slowly, a few small buds of ideas will emerge. Then the small buds will grow and branch out, and finally become a green sentence or even a paragraph.

Ye Lian regarded such sentences and paragraphs as treasures. He read them over and over again and loved them very much. He felt that he had to admire himself for being able to write such exquisite words.

Ye Lian finds writing a great pleasure and she enjoys the quiet moments of solitude while writing.

But now, Cao Xueqin is unemployed at home, and Ye Lian’s time alone is disrupted. Cao Xueqin often follows her.

Of course, Ye Lian’s writing is purely a hobby and not a serious matter, so it’s no big deal if it’s interrupted or she stops writing.

There is a way to spend time together when two people are at home.

Run together, buy groceries together, do housework together (well, this is just Ye Lian’s goal for now). If we have time in the afternoon, we go shopping in the mall, or go to the park, or play badminton. It’s quite relaxing and the day goes by quickly.

……

Ye Lian was busy in the kitchen, and Cao Xueqin's voice on the balcony caught her attention.

"I don't live in Jinjinghuayuan now. My son is studying at Anbao Middle School. We came here to accompany him. I'll send you the address here." Cao Xueqin said loudly.

Ye Lian didn't know who Cao Xueqian was talking to, and she even sent him the location. Who was coming?
