Chapter 57: Tonight, Someone Has No Sleep!
"Thank you, Ye Chen." Turning around, Liu Mingyu expressed his heartfelt thanks to Ye Chen again.
Ye Chen shook his head with a smile, pinched the cute little nose in his arms, and did not speak.
Both of them understood what was going on just now, and they just comforted Nannan, they were very calm, and they didn't think about anything else, Liu Mingyu greeted Ye Chen, and Ye Chen hugged Nannan and followed Liu Mingyu into the bedroom of the main house.
Liu Mingyu's room is very simple to decorative, but very feminine.
Facing the door, the two walls near the window are painted pink, and the side walls are pasted with floral wallpaper, a European-style double iron bed, and the bed is in the same style as the wallpaper.
Crash!
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Mingyu first pulled up the curtains, which were also in the style of small flowers, blocking the dark night from the window, and under the dim light, the interior was obviously much warmer.
However, as soon as the curtain was drawn, Liu Mingyu's movements were stiff, as if he had thought of something, and his pretty face was slightly red.
Ye Chen didn't pay attention, walked to the side of the bed with Nan Nan in his arms, and put it down gently.
Nan Nan cheered happily, very sensibly pulled away her own small quilt on the bed, took off her clothes clumsily and got in, and then looked at Ye Chen expectantly with a pair of big black eyes.
"What story do you want to hear?"
Ye Chen said, took the chair handed over by Liu Mingyu, and sat on the edge of the bed.
Nan Nan's little finger hooked her chin, thought for a while and said, "Dad, I want to listen to the story of the little tadpole looking for Dad!" ”
Ye Chen was slightly stunned, his expression puzzled, how could he never have heard such a story. How can this be? If you can't even make a small request for the "daughter" you just recognized, wouldn't it be a shame to throw it to your grandmother's house.
Ye Chen scratched his head, searching hard in his mind for a story related to this, and racked his brains before recalling that there seemed to be such a story, but in this story, the little tadpole was not looking for his father, but for his mother.
Whatever, whether it's looking for dad or mom, it's always looking for someone anyway! Ye Chen's heart was horizontal, and he planned to say it according to this statement.
Poof!
Liu Mingyu on the side saw Ye Chen's tangled look, and couldn't help laughing first, glanced at Nannan with a strange look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Nannan, don't mess around, how can there be a story about a little tadpole looking for his father." ”
"Yes, the little tadpole has found its mother, but its father is gone, it's so pitiful, the baby has found her father, and the little tadpole can also find her father!"
Ye Chen smiled, but Liu Mingyu's face was slightly red, and they all said that Tong Yan was unscrupulous, but now there were only her and Ye Chen, and she was suddenly a little overwhelmed.
"I ...... I'm going to clean up outside. After Liu Mingyu finished speaking, he didn't wait for Ye Chen to answer, and walked outside with some hurried steps!
Long.
Ye Chen pushed the door and walked out, exhaled a long breath, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Maybe it's because Nan Nan was so excited to find his father just now, he told seven or eight stories in a row, but Nan Nan still didn't feel a little sleepy. Ye Chen had no choice but to play a little trick, which made her fall asleep!
The courtyard was very clean, Liu Mingyu had already straightened everything out neatly, Ye Chen turned his head to look, groaned slightly, and walked to the room on the left.
There were also lights in the room, and a faint fragrance wafted through the air.
Ye Chen knocked lightly on the door, and Liu Mingyu's response came from inside, and he pushed the door and entered.
In the room, Liu Mingyu was wearing a blue floral triangular hat on his head and a light-colored apron, and he was busy cooking something in front of the gas stove, where the fragrance came from.
Ye Chen sniffed his nose lightly, his face was surprised.
"Sleeping?" Liu Mingyu turned his head and showed a gentle smile towards Ye Chen, and then looked back at the things in the pot.
"Well, slept."
"Ye Chen, thank you really this time, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do!" Liu Mingyu thanked him again.
"Sister Liu, you don't have to be so polite." Ye Chen walked up and looked at the stove, "Sister Liu, what are you cooking, it smells very good!" ”
"It's the soup." Liu Mingyu responded with a smile, and added, "This is the four kinds of base soup I usually use when I go out to set up a stall to sell strings of incense." ”
"How do I smell the smell of Chinese medicine?"
Of course, Ye Chen had eaten the popular snack that could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, but he found that the strings of incense he had eaten were definitely not as fragrant as the soup that Liu Mingyu was stewing and simmering now.
"Heh, your nose is quite smart, I have added more than ten kinds of Chinese herbs here."
Seeing that Ye Chen seemed to be very interested, Liu Mingyu simply explained patiently.
"Whether the strings of incense are good or not, the base soup is the most important, and I am now stewing the four types of base soup that I usually use the most, red soup, white soup, clear soup and seafood soup, and these four soups have different tastes. But they all pay attention to spicy and fresh fragrance, if the string of incense can't guarantee this, then there are still people who like to eat it! ”
"However, the base soup I make is still a little different from others, and the base I make is usually made with fresh pork or beef bones, and then added with grass and fruit, cloves, sand kernels, and cinnamon...... Wait for more than ten kinds of Chinese herbs, and add some mushroom dried scallops to enhance the freshness, so that the stewed soup tastes particularly fresh. ”
"However, this umami can't be maintained for too long, and it can't be stewed for a long time, so the heat of this stew must be mastered, otherwise the previous efforts will be in vain......"
Liu Mingyu chattered a lot, as if she had finally found someone to chat with, her chatterbox opened all of a sudden, and Ye Chen did not show any impatience, and asked a few questions from time to time, indicating that he listened very seriously.
During this period, Ye Chen also drank a bowl of clear soup, only to feel that the taste in the mouth was extremely light, but the aftertaste was endless. So Ye Chen sincerely praised Liu Mingyu a few words, but Liu Mingyu gave him a blank look and complained that he said something nice.
Ye Chen smiled freely, and his heart suddenly moved, this stew actually had some similarities with his refining of pills, perhaps, he could help Liu Mingyu take her base soup preparation technique to the next level.
Moved by this woman's strength and kindness, Ye Chen willingly wanted to help her more.
What's more, the two now have a common "daughter"!
Night, miserable. In the dim light, it is a warm human fireworks.
Liu Mingyu was busy in front of the stove with an apron, Ye Chen stood beside her, chatting with her from time to time, chatting with each other, this feeling made Ye Chen feel very warm.
This kind of simple happiness of ordinary people, Ye Chen has never experienced it in his two lives, and he feels both fresh and a little strange.
This feeling is as if he is a newly married groom, and he is living a trivial life with his new wife. Bland, trivial, but also blissful.
Liu Mingyu also felt this subtle atmosphere, she was like a little daughter-in-law, and this illusory and short-lived warmth made her both addicted and uneasy.
Especially when she thought of it later, when she called the big boy's father next to her, she felt a little strange in her heart.
Could it be that you really miss a man?
After a while, Ye Chen said goodnight and left here.
It wasn't until he had been gone for a long time that a soft sigh sounded in the darkness.
Liu Mingyu's heart was a little confused, looking at the miserable night outside the window, many pictures of the past kept flashing in his mind.
Lonely when she was a child, her sister worked hard to pull her into an adult, and later she was admitted to Yenching University, and then she was the bad news of her sister and brother-in-law, who had just been full moon......
The heartfelt joy when the little girl called her father, and the warmth and throbbing that remained in the room just now......
Until the last moment, it was fixed on Ye Chen's delicate and handsome face.
What's wrong with me?
Could it be that years of persistence were broken by a big boy?
Liu Mingyu felt a burst of heat on his face, and his intestines were turning.
With her appearance, she is undoubtedly the focus of attention wherever she goes, and she has the reputation of the school flower when she was in high school, and later there is no shortage of all kinds of excellent suitors in college.
If things continue to develop smoothly like this, a bright future seems to be beckoning to her.
However, the accidental death of my sister and brother-in-law, everything changed dramatically in a blink of an eye. She could have wronged herself, and it would have been easy to marry a good man with her appearance.
However, she couldn't afford to gamble and didn't dare to bet. For the sake of Nannan, she is willing to be wronged.
The four words of grievances are easy to say, but how difficult it is to do!
The best time in her life, she could have happily found someone to fall in love, get married, start a family, and have children, but she couldn't do it. If she only cares about herself, what will she do?
Who would really accept a child who is not related to him by blood, and who is only her niece!
In a woman's best years, she had to choose a person to take her with her, and in the process of taking her, she felt more deeply the hardships she suffered and the sin she suffered when her sister took her, every time she thought of this, Liu Mingyu would grit her teeth and continue to insist.
Even if you live alone in this life, you must not be wronged. Liu Mingyu secretly swore in her heart many times, but the long nights were long, and when she was occasionally idle, the loneliness and depression buried deep in her heart had nowhere to go, and there was no one to tell.
What a torment this is for a woman who is extremely normal physically and psychologically!
People are creatures who are afraid of being alone.
If...... I mean, if he can really become Nannan's father, that's actually pretty good!
Liu Mingyu thought about it, and unconsciously went out of his mind!
Tonight, there are people, sleepless.
