She followed Sister Li's example and poured the chicken into the pot.

The pot immediately sounded a "crackling" sound.

Xu Xinuo was so frightened that he stepped back.

Sister Li comforted: "It's okay." The chicken has been covered with oil, and the oil will not splash too far. You stir-fry. ”

Xu Xinuo carefully stir-fried the chicken with a spatula.

"Cover and simmer for a while." Sister Li said.

Xu Xinuo hurriedly took the lid of the pot and covered it.

"After a few minutes, put the rice wine and potatoes in and stew for more than ten minutes." Sister Li said lightly.

Xu Xinuo nodded.

She kept an eye on what's going on in the pot.

A few minutes later, seeing that there was steam coming out of the pot, Xu Xinuo hurriedly asked Sister Li: "You can put rice wine and potatoes." ”

"Yes." Sister Li brought the rice wine and potatoes.

Xu Xinuo poured a little rice wine, then poured the potatoes into it, turned his head and asked Sister Li, "Is this okay?" ”

"Rice wine has to be poured more. You have to pour half a bottle. Sister Li looked at Xu Xinuo and said.

Xu Xinuo couldn't believe that he had to pour so much, but he still poured half a bottle of rice wine according to Sister Li's request.

Slowly, she asked, there was a nice smell in the air, the aroma of wine with the aroma of chicken, not a little fishy.

Xu Xinuo asked anxiously: "Is it okay now?" ”

Sister Li glanced at the situation in the pot and said, "Now you can put the green peppers in." Wait until the soup is almost ready. ”

Xu Xinuo opened the lid of the pot and put the green pepper cut by Sister Li into it.

When the soup couldn't be overgrown by the chicken and potatoes, Sister Li told Xu Xinuo that it was okay.

Xu Xinuo put the potato stew and chicken on the plate, thinking that he had done a good job.

At this moment, she felt that she could cook.

She couldn't wait to grab a piece of chicken with her chopsticks and taste it.

The taste is very good, and it is similar to what Sister Li makes.

"It's easy to cook." Sister Li said with a smile.

Xu Xinuo looked like she hadn't cooked, but her movements were softer than Qin Mo's.

"Simple." Xu Xinuo wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

She is not skilled yet, and the whole process is very careful, making herself very tired.

Sister Li saw that Xu Xinuo was a little tired, so she fried the shredded potatoes herself and burned the seaweed egg soup.

At eleven o'clock, they finally had dinner.

Xu Xinuo had a good appetite and ate a lot.

"Do you like sour food?" Sister Li asked with concern.

Xu Xinuo knew that Sister Li would definitely talk about that well-known experience.

"Sister Li, this is not allowed." Xu Xinuo said casually.

Besides, Qin Mo didn't care about this at all.

There is no difference between boys and girls.

Sister Li said affirmatively: "It's still a little accurate." This is the case for most people, with a few exceptions. ”

Xu Xinuo smiled faintly and did not speak.

Sister Li believes it if she wants to believe it. She doesn't argue.

"Now doctors can't tell you the sex of the baby. If you know the gender, you can also prepare clothes, toys or something earlier. Sister Li said with great interest.

"There's no rush to any of this. It doesn't matter what you wear when your child is young. It can be worn by both boys and girls. They don't know anything except eating or sleeping every day, and they don't go out to play. It's too late to buy these when you're older. Xu Xinuo said calmly.

Now it's very convenient to buy things, and I can buy them back in a while, and it's not like before when I had to make my own clothes, so I need to prepare them early.

Sister Li's worries are a bit out of place now.

"Yes. Don't worry, I'll take care of you when the time comes. During confinement, you must take good care of it, otherwise it is easy to fall ill. Sister Li said enthusiastically.

Xu Xinuo said politely: "Thank you." ”

"Are your parents coming over then?" Sister Li asked with concern.

Xu Xinuo was a little embarrassed and said, "They don't come." My dad is sick and healing, so it's inconvenient to come over. ”

She knew that Sister Li didn't mean to ask that. She also felt that Sister Li was very kind, but she didn't want to tell Sister Li about herself.

So she said a few casual words and fooled it over.

When she was very young, her parents divorced.

Then she never saw her mother again, it was Xu Jiang who raised her alone and gave her all her love.

She never felt like she was lacking love.

She doesn't have any feelings for her mother, but she doesn't want others to talk about her mother. She doesn't need sympathy.

These are her own affairs, she doesn't blame her mother, and she doesn't want others to blame her mother.

If her mother came back to her that day, she would not refuse to recognize her.

Sister Li said with a big grin: "It's okay. You tell your parents that I'm going to take good care of you. I am not only professional but also experienced. ”

Xu Xinuo smiled and nodded.

She picked up a piece of potato and ate it. The potatoes are very flavorful, soft and glutinous, and very tasty.

The other dishes were also delicious.

She ate heartily.

After eating, Xu Xinuo walked around the first floor.

It's too hot outside. She didn't want to go out, so she walked indoors.

Sister Li cleaned up the table and cleaned up.

The two of them got along very well.

In the afternoon, Xu Xinuo modified Zhou Yue's icon according to the revisions. The other party had a very good attitude, and said happily that he would call Xu Xinuo for money in a few days.

For the first time, Xu Xinuo found it easy to make money.

She didn't make a penny from the comics she had been drawing for so long.

But she didn't want to give up.

Because when she draws comics, she is happy, and she can concentrate on drawing for hours without feeling bored and tired.

Even if it doesn't work out in the future, she will continue to do it as a hobby.

It doesn't matter if no one watches, and it doesn't matter if you don't make money. She just wants to express her opinion and write the story she wants to write, not chasing hot topics and drawing the same thing.

In the afternoon, another stranger added her WeChat. She thought it was Zhou Yue's employee, so she agreed.

Unexpectedly, the message from the other party was: I am Xiao Ran.

Xu Xinuo looked at his phone and felt faintly uncomfortable.

She knew that Xiao Ran must have regarded her as a rival in love.

Being so concerned by others made Xu Xinuo feel pressured.

She was really afraid that Qin Mo would be angry with Xiao Ran one day, and Xiao Ran would come to her to be angry and scold her.

Then she's so innocent.

Xiao Ran likes Qin Mo, she doesn't care at all. She just didn't want to lie down so innocently.

Xu Xinuo sighed softly.

This Xiao Ran is really. Her own conditions are not bad! Why do you have to like Qin Mo, someone who doesn't like her?

She can understand Xiao Ran's unwillingness, but she can't understand Xiao Ran's persistence.

Besides, Qin Mo is not very good. Xu Xinuo even felt that Qin Mo was not worthy of Xiao Ran.

But I don't know why Xiao Ran just likes it.

Xiao Ran didn't speak, and Xu Xinuo didn't reply to the message.

There was not much to say between the two of them.

Xiao Ran was interested in her, she was not interested in Xiao Ran.

She wanted to delete Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran didn't say anything. As soon as her heart softened, she gave up.

Maybe when Xiao Ran can't think about it one day, she can still enlighten Xiao Ran.

"Alas! Also a poor girl. I hope she thinks about it sooner and doesn't become obsessed with Qin Mo. Xu Xinuo said with emotion.

She didn't love Qin Mo, so she was too generous.

If Qin Mo knew that Xu Xinuo was so generous, he should be sad in his heart.

At this moment, Xiao Ran's heart was not as relaxed as Xu Xinuo.

She looked at Xu Xinuo's message and felt the taste of torment.

Although Xu Xinuo did not explain her relationship with Qin Mo, Xiao Ran felt the crisis.

She had never seen Qin Mo so gentle and considerate to a girl.

So she knew that Xu Xinuo was different after all.

She had a strong feeling that the relationship between Xu Xinuo and Qin Mo was not ordinary.

Xiao Ran felt that the difference between her and Xu Xinuo was. Those who can't get it are always in turmoil, and those who are favored have nothing to fear.

Xu Xinuo is so calm, it is nothing more than because Qin Mo likes her.

And Xiao Ran was so flustered because she knew that Qin Mo didn't like her. She has always been confident in herself.

After meeting Qin Mo, she became unconfident.

Qin Mo's attitude towards her made her unconfident.

There are many people who like her, but Qin Mo just doesn't like her.

She didn't want to be embarrassed like this, but she couldn't control herself.

She was jealous of Xu Xinuo, the person she felt was inferior to herself.

There is no fairness in love, let alone right and wrong. Love and dislove are also obvious. She could see that Qin Mo liked Xu Xinuo.

Xiao Ran took a deep breath and let the heartache sweep through his body.

Unwillingness, grievance, jealousy...... Multiple emotions come together.

Tears welled up in her bright eyes.

Maybe she never had, but now she feels the loss.

In the afternoon, Xu Xinuo woke up and found that Zhou Yue's employees had transferred the remuneration to her.

Looking at the SMS notification on his phone, Xu Xinuo sighed softly, not very happy.

These came a little late.

Xu Xinuo regretted that when she was in college, she didn't have the consciousness to make money. If she started trying to do something to make money at that time, after Xu Jiang went bankrupt, she didn't know how helpless she was.

Looking back on the past, Xu Xinuo has a lot of regrets.

She looked wistfully at the scenery outside.

It was past five o'clock that Qin Mo came back.

He packed his things and began to prepare for tomorrow's prenatal checkup. Today he has dealt with all the things to be dealt with, and tomorrow he can concentrate on accompanying Xu Xinuo to the prenatal checkup.

Outside, there was a sudden strong wind, dark clouds, and heavy rain was coming. The surrounding light became very dim, giving the impression that the night had fallen early.

A strong, cold wind blew the curtains as if they were about to be torn off.

A roaring wind swept in the rain.

For a few seconds, Xu Xinuo felt breathless.

She got up slowly, closed the window, and stood by the window looking out at the rain.

The mountains in the distance were hazy in the rain and fog.

Occasionally, leaves drift through the air.

Such a scene reminded Xu Xinuo of the scene when she went to find Zhou Yue again.

Recalling the past, she realized that the person standing next to Zhou Yue was Qin Mo.

She finally understood what Qin Mo called "coincidence".

It was precisely because he saw that she was in a difficult situation and had no choice that he was so confident.

Thinking about all this clearly, Xu Xinuo couldn't help but feel a little blocked in his heart.

She resented herself more than she resented Qin Mo.

She hated her own incompetence, hated her innocence, hated that she had lived too comfortably before, did not know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, hated herself for not being able to save herself...... Even agreeing to Qin Mo's contract marriage is already a relatively good ending.

All the emotions hit together, and Xu Xinuo felt very tired.

Qin Mo packed up his things and came to the third floor. He gently pushed the door open. There was no light in the room, and it took a few seconds for him to get used to it and see Xu Xinuo's lonely and sad back.

He easily felt Xu Xinuo's sadness.

He turned on the light, walked over, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Did you miss your dad? ”

Xu Xinuo shook his head lightly and denied: "No. The sudden rain made me feel bad. I'm in a bit of a bad mood. ”

Qin Mo closed the curtains and said, "Don't look outside." The world is still so bright. ”

Xu Xinuo took a deep breath and walked to the table and sat down.
