Chapter 168 Reunion with Wang Jianli
A short while later, Qin Yunzhou returned with steaming hot food. The waitress from before had even helped carry the dishes, and she was all smiles, appearing much more approachable.
As soon as she came over, the old lady put down the food and looked at Xu Sui with a smile, winking and teasing her, "Girl, you really have a good eye for men. Look how attentive your man is to you."
"But such a beautiful and pretty wife of yours should be cherished and pampered."
She had just witnessed a spectacle, and to be honest, this girl looked fair-skinned and pretty; she was clearly not someone an ordinary family could raise.
However, he was by no means gentle, and he quickly made the old woman so angry that she jumped up and down.
And other women's husbands also know how to protect her and are gentle and considerate towards her. It's really enviable.
Unlike her husband at home, who not only doesn't defend his wife in public, it's already a miracle if he doesn't belittle her in front of his cronies.
Faced with the old lady's blatant teasing, Xu Sui's cheeks flushed slightly. She looked up at Qin Yunzhou and met his gaze.
For a moment, the two looked at each other intently, then awkwardly looked away.
Seeing Xu Sui's fair cheeks flushed, revealing a beauty unlike anything she usually possessed, so alluring and dazzling, Qin Yunzhou couldn't help but look over again, his throat bobbing slightly, unable to look away for a long time.
This was the first time he had ever seen Xu Sui looking shy.
As someone with experience, the older woman could tell from her gaze that the young couple had probably just gotten married and were feeling a little embarrassed.
After all, in this day and age, it's perfectly normal for people to not know each other before marriage and not necessarily become close even after getting pregnant.
She smiled, stopped teasing them, put down the food and left, saying, "Alright, you two should eat first, or it'll get cold."
After the old lady left.
The two sat together.
The blush on Xu Sui's face gradually faded, and she returned to her usual appearance, as if nothing had happened.
Qin Yunzhou's gaze fell on Xu's face, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes. He poured Xu Sui a bowl of pork rib soup and added a lot of pork ribs to her plate.
"Let's eat."
However, he couldn't help but recall the slightly flushed face of the woman from earlier, and he became a little distracted.
The chef at this state-run restaurant is very skilled; I heard he's an eighth-level chef. Many people want to offer him generous gifts to become his apprentices, but he refuses to accept any of them.
These days, having a skill is like having a secure job, which is quite remarkable. Especially being an eighth-level chef is highly sought after, no less so than driving a truck, and even more popular.
Xu Sui took just one bite of the ribs and immediately fell in love with them. Her eyes lit up slightly, and her tone was full of surprise.
"It's delicious."
"Try it too, it tastes really good." She also put a piece of pork rib on Qin Yunzhou's plate.
A serving of stewed pork ribs with potatoes doesn't have many ribs, only about eight or nine pieces; the rest is mostly potatoes.
This person just gave her most of the ribs.
Only some potatoes and pork rib soup remained on the plate.
Seeing the extra ribs in the bowl, Qin Yunzhou felt a warmth in his heart. He then picked up some ribs from the bowl, looked at her, and ate them while looking down at her.
"Yes, it tastes really good."
"If you like it, I'll bring you here again next time."
He had eaten so many ribs before, and he couldn't say whether he liked or disliked them.
But the ribs he ate today did taste quite delicious to him.
Xu Sui looked up at him and saw her reflection in the man's eyes. For some reason, her cheeks felt hot again.
She's clearly not the type of person who blushes easily.
Why have I blushed twice today?
Xu Sui silently lowered her head and continued eating the fragrant ribs, one after another. It was definitely not her fault, but rather the reason why this man had been secretly watching her all day.
Yes, it must all be his fault.
Qin Yunzhou, on the other hand, had a refined and handsome face, and his deep, affectionate eyes were always staring at her. How could she not feel anything?
What's more, this person has a very pleasant voice, especially when speaking softly, there's always an indescribable gentleness about it.
With this thought, Xu Sui quickly calmed down. Her face stopped blushing, her heart stopped racing, and she focused on eating her delicious potato and pork rib stew, taking a big bite of her steamed bun.
Seeing this, Qin Yunzhou picked up some hot and sour shredded potatoes and steamed buns for her, and also poured her some pork rib soup.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Xu Sui: "..."
……
After a satisfying meal, the state-run restaurant was about to close.
Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou didn't go back immediately, but instead took a walk along the roadside to digest their meal.
The two walked very close together, so close that they could touch the hem of each other's clothes and even smell each other's fragrance.
As autumn arrives, the leaves turn yellow and the ground is covered with golden ginkgo leaves.
A cold wind blows, and the leaves flutter in the air.
Xu Sui looked down, stepping on the ginkgo leaves beneath her feet, her gaze falling on Qin Yunzhou's legs. "Your legs...are they feeling any better lately?"
Grandma has already given Qin Yunzhou two acupuncture treatments, and he needs three more. He should feel better now.
Now, if you don't look closely and ignore the cane in his hand, and walk slowly, he looks no different from a normal person.
With his grandmother's help, his leg shouldn't take a year to fully heal like in the original story.
Qin Yunzhou followed Xu Sui's gaze and looked at his injured right leg. After carefully examining it, he nodded slightly and said, "It's better than it was a few days ago."
He had a premonition that his leg might be almost fully healed before Xu Sui gave birth, at which point he would have to return to the army and probably wouldn't be able to witness the birth of his child.
Even though he was so eager to recover quickly after his injury and return to the army, he felt a little reluctant when that day actually came.
Xu Sui was oblivious to Qin Yunzhou's thoughts. She was overjoyed, her eyes lighting up. "Really?"
"Very good."
At this rate, Qin Yunzhou's leg should heal very soon.
Although she knew that Qin Yunzhou's leg would heal sooner or later, and that he was destined for a bright future.
But I couldn't help but worry, afraid that something might happen to him.
Just then, someone called out, "Yunzhou, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here."
"Come on, Jianli, hurry up and say hello to your Uncle Qin. You ran away without a word last time and didn't even have a chance to say hello to him."
"Let me tell you, your Uncle Qin is no ordinary person. He became a political commissar in the army at a young age. You should learn from your Uncle Qin in the future."
