Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Zhou Xinyue stared with eyes wide open and pouted, looking angrily at the figure that disappeared in a flash.

All these little expressions fell into Liu Si Niang's eyes.

Another male chef, about 45 years old, came over with a plate of exquisite snacks, sesame flower and glutinous rice dumplings.

The chef squatted down and started chatting with Liu Siniang, and his words were full of sympathy for Liu Siniang's past experiences.

The two of them talked for a while, until Zhou Xinyue was staring at the man with eyes wide open and running away, Liu Si Niang couldn't help but laugh.

"Mrs. Zhou, would you like to come over and try some with us? These sesame and fresh flower dumplings are delicious."

Zhou Xinyue came back to her senses, quickly adjusted her mood, changed her expression, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

Liu Siniang glanced in the direction where Balbu disappeared, and said jokingly with a smile: "Is that your lover? He looks very cute, why don't you keep him?"

Zhou Xinyue's face suddenly changed, and she waved her hands hastily to explain: "That person is not my lover. I don't have a lover, I... I have a husband. I already have two children."

Zhou Xinyue quickly glanced at Fanxing, and Fanxing nodded very calmly.

Liu Si Niang was a little surprised and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. It seems that I misunderstood. Si Niang apologizes to you."

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly smiled and said, "Nothing, nothing. It's inevitable that people will misunderstand. It will be fine once you explain it."

Liu Si Niang sighed and said, "You have to be careful. I can tell from that young man just now that he really likes you."

Zhou Xinyue kneaded the dough, with some flour on her face, and said with a smile: "How is that possible? You must have seen it wrong, Si Niang."

Liu Si Niang smiled and said, "I can't be wrong. That boy gives me the feeling of a young man who is just beginning to fall in love with a girl. Girl, there is no way I am wrong."

After saying that, Liu Si Niang came over, took a sesame flower dumpling and stuffed it into Zhou Xinyue and Fanxing's mouths, one for each.

Zhou Xinyue nodded hurriedly and praised repeatedly: "Yeah. This sesame flower dumpling is really delicious. So delicious, fragrant and sticky."

Fanxing also smiled and nodded continuously to show her agreement.

Liu Si Niang smiled and said, "That big brother over there sent it over for us to try."

Zhou Xinyue also became gossipy and said with a smile: "Then sister, can I also tell you whether that elder brother is treating you, Si Niang..."

After saying that, Zhou Xinyue laughed a few times wickedly.

Liu Si Niang smiled bitterly and said, "Alas. I can't stand you young people. I'm going to cook."

Zhou Xinyue turned her head and smiled at Fanxing.

The male chef looked silly and looked like someone from the Ding Kingdom. When he saw Liu Si Niang changed the subject, he smiled silly and went back to his stove to cook.

Zhou Xinyue and Fanxing worked together seriously, and one batch of pastries after another came out of the pot.

The two of them carefully arranged the snacks on the plates. Soon after they came out of the pot, many maids would come and take the snacks away.

As it was getting night, Zhou Xinyue felt that her waist could hardly straighten up.

At night, Liu Si Niang can take a break from cooking. After all, the dishes she is good at are generally suitable for main meals.

Basically no one likes to eat this main course this evening, they all prefer to eat some snacks before and after the meal.

Liu Si Niang brought over a bottle filled with the fragrance of flowers.

The wide benches placed in the open space in front of the large kitchen were also put together.

He smiled and said, "Get down."

Zhou Xinyue was confused and said, "Lie down? What are you lying down for?"

"Just lie down when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much?"

Zhou Xinyue saw that Liu Si Niang's tone was also tough, and thought that she was here to help her, so she said, "Lie down if you want."

Liu Si Niang also gave 4 umbrellas to her own apprentice and Fanxing.

"You guys come and open the umbrella. Cover this area."

The umbrellas Liu Si Niang holds are all very big. Once opened, they provide great protection.

Zhou Xinyue asked curiously: "Fourth Mother, what are you doing?"

"Just lie down, why do you care so much?"

"Oh!" Zhou Xinyue didn't dare to ask.

After Zhou Xinyue lay down, the fourth lady opened her dress. Zhou Xinyue was shocked and said, "Fourth lady, you..."

"Don't move."

Zhou Xinyue lay down again and dared not move.

Liu Si Niang lifted her skirt, poured some water from the bottle onto Zhou Xinyue's waist, and began to rub it vigorously with both hands.

"Wow, wow, my waist. Ah!"

"This medicine was invented by my father himself. He used to cook in the dark in the kitchen all year round. He often suffered from back pain. So he used some ingredients, some Chinese medicinal herbs, and some flowers to make this potion. It is very effective."

After Zhou Xinyue was massaged for a while, her waist instantly felt much more relaxed. She smiled and said, "Fourth Mother, you are really a living Buddha. My waist. Ever since I had the baby, I felt like my waist seemed to have a little problem. I have been running around and never had a good rest. Now that you massage it, I feel so comfortable."

When Liu Si Niang heard Zhou Xinyue praising her like this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You are such a sweet girl. But I like to hear it."

Zhou Xinyue smiled and said while enjoying it: "Si Niang, if you like to listen, I will tell you every day. Oh, my waist. It really feels so comfortable."

Liu Si Niang laughed out loud.

Zhou Xinyue's gossipy heart was a little moved, and she asked, "Fourth Lady, actually I have always wanted to ask you something. Have you ever thought about finding someone again in these years?"

Si Niang rubbed Zhou Xinyue and said with a helpless smile: "How can I put it? This kind of thing depends on fate."

"Fourth Lady, actually the fat chef today looks pretty good. He seems to be quite honest. And I think he looks like someone from our country of Ding. Wouldn't it be good to find someone from the same hometown?"

Si Niang smiled and said, "He is indeed from the country of Longding. Let's wait and see. No one can say for sure whether he is good or not. Let's talk about it later. People who are destined to be together will naturally be destined to be together, and people who are not destined to be together will not be able to see each other even if they stand opposite each other."

Zhou Xinyue listened and nodded, saying, "That's right. People who are destined to meet will meet each other even if they are thousands of miles apart. As for people who are not destined to meet, you won't be able to see them even if they are standing in front of you. I agree with this statement."

Si Niang asked curiously, "You always worry about me. What about you? How many years have you known your husband? How did you meet? How did you get married?"

When Zhou Xinyue heard Si Niang ask this question, she felt like she had eaten a fly. She was stuck and didn't know what to say.
