The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

Su Yu was very attentive and saw through Xie Xinghua's difficulties at a glance. He did not respond directly to the request, but smiled with a gentle light in his eyes, "Oh, that's great. I tried the hand-rolled noodles you made at noon. The taste is still unforgettable. I have been thinking about tasting your cooking skills again. If you want to use my kitchen, you have to cook for our family of three, otherwise I won't agree."

There was a hint of coquettishness and playfulness in her tone, without the slightest sense of superiority revealed by Xie Xinghua's request for help. Instead, it made people feel warm and considerate.

Su Yu's words were like a gentle spring breeze, instantly relieving the pressure on Xie Xinghua's heart.

Xie Xinghua's eyes sparkled with surprise, and she quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, no problem, I'll take care of everything."

She then added, "Sister-in-law, I have to trouble you tonight, but I have to make it clear in advance that I have to provide the ingredients for the use of your kitchen, otherwise I will feel really bad."

Su Yu understood that there was almost nothing else in Xie Xinghua's house except half a bag of flour left in the morning.

Thinking of this, she felt reluctant and said, "How can I do that?"

Xie Xinghua quickly shook her head with a determined look in her eyes.

She was already extremely grateful for Su Yu's help. She had a large family and how could she bear to waste Su Yu's resources in vain.

Su Yu caught Xie Xinghua's resistance, and then smiled heartily, no longer arguing about the matter, "Sister-in-law, it's settled, I can't let you work in vain.

When your kitchen is finished, our family will definitely go over there to have some fun, and then you can show off your skills and cook delicious food for us, wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?”

There was an irrefutable firmness in her words, and Xie Xinghua could only nod in agreement, "Then... that's it."

Afterwards, Xie Xinghua called over the clever Erya and the lively Sanya, and the three of them quickly began to prepare.

Erya was silent but sensible, and always assisted silently; while Sanya was more active, and pulled her little niece Xier to play aside, adding a bit of relaxation and laughter to the tense atmosphere.

Su Yu took a piece of smoky meat from the stove. The meat was greasy and had an alluring aroma. He handed it to Xie Xinghua. "Sister-in-law, today is a day worth celebrating. You have finally gotten rid of those shackles. How about we celebrate with this piece of meat?"

Xie Xinghua looked at the shiny piece of smoked meat, with complicated emotions surging in her heart.

It’s not that she was worried that the meat was inedible. Although she had never seen this way of cooking, she believed that her second brother and sister-in-law, who were well-informed, would do nothing wrong.

More importantly, she was deeply touched by being understood and cared for - Su Yu had not only reminded her to be self-reliant under Zhao's severity, but now she was supporting her with practical actions and taking out precious bacon to celebrate her new life.

Seeing Xie Xinghua was stunned and didn't take it, Su Yu mistakenly thought that she hesitated because of the dark color of the meat, "This is smoked meat, stir-fried with green peppers, it's very flavorful."

She explained again kindly and handed the meat closer to Xie Xinghua.

Xie Xinghua suddenly came to her senses, hurriedly took the bacon, and asked carefully, "How much should I cut?"

She knew very well how precious the meat was and how huge it was that she couldn't use it all up.

However, Su Yu's response surprised her, "With so many people, we naturally need to prepare all the ingredients."

Xie Xinghua widened her eyes and was shocked, but she said nothing more because she decided to follow Su Yu's arrangements completely.

Su Yu originally wanted to let Xie Xinghua operate alone and take a break for a while, but he inadvertently discovered something strange.

Xie Xinghua was extremely frugal when preparing the ingredients, only preparing a small amount of each item for fear of wasting even a single bit, and she looked extremely nervous.

Su Yu could understand Xie Xinghua's situation. After all, she was using other people's things, and she thought she was eating and drinking for free, so she couldn't help but feel uneasy and didn't dare to take more than she wanted.

So she took the initiative to step forward and added five more eggs to the original three bowls. At the same time, she peeled potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the amounts of cucumbers and beans were also significantly increased.

Xie Xinghua watched silently from the side, feeling mixed emotions, worried that she would appear too stingy in Su Yu's eyes.

After Su Yu finished all this, he sighed and said softly, "Sister-in-law, we are all family, why should we be so distant? Big brother and Ziling are brothers connected by blood, and our lives are not easy, and our parents are not always around to take care of us. Now that we have established our own careers, we are each other's closest support. Only by uniting as one can our lives get better and better."

"You are in trouble now. Let alone just borrowing my kitchen, I would be happy to eat at the same table with you every day."

When Xie Xinghua heard this, her throat seemed to be blocked by emotion and she was unable to speak for a long time.

Su Yu gently pushed her to sit down, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so restrained. Let me cook today, and let you taste my cooking skills."

Xie Xinghua's eyes were moist, and she was about to stand up to help, but Jiang Ziling gently held her down, "Sister-in-law, just sit there and relax."

On the stove, steam from the steamer rises up, like the hope and warmth of life.

Su Yu opened the lid, confirmed that the rice was cooked, carefully wrapped it in a cloth and moved it away, ready to start another feast for his taste buds.

"Erya, help me turn up the heat."

Erya followed the instructions obediently. She stood quietly by the side, concentrating on watching Su Yu's skilled cooking movements. Su Yu patiently explained as he cooked, "For a dish to be delicious, the ingredients you use are secondary. The key lies in the technique. For example, for these shredded potatoes, soak them in water first to remove the starch. Then they will be crisp and refreshing when fried."

……

Every detail silently tells of the tacit understanding and deep warmth between this small family that requires no words.

When Su Yu explained each step, her tone was gentle but full of patience, as if a spring breeze was blowing across her heart, causing Erya's bright eyes to closely follow her every subtle movement, for fear of missing out on any bit of knowledge being imparted.

Xie Xinghua sat aside. Although her body was calm, she felt very uneasy inside. The embarrassment and discomfort spread silently in the air.

Seeing Jiang Ziling pounding the medicine repeatedly in front of the mortar, sweat oozing from his forehead and the broken blisters on his hands occasionally causing pain due to friction, she felt a surge of pity in her heart.

"You take a break, I'll do it."

Xie Xinghua's words were like a sweet rain, warm and timely.

Jiang Ziling was not a person who would complain easily, but this sudden thoughtfulness warmed his heart. He knew very well that Su Yu was anxious to prepare all the medicinal powders, so he had endured it before.

At this time, seeing that Xie Xinghua took the initiative to offer it, he gently handed the medicine pestle in his hand to her, with a faint smile and gratitude on his face.

In the kitchen, Su Yu's cooking movements were as smooth as flowing water. Every dish was quickly prepared under her skillful hands, with good color, aroma and taste.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes are bright in color, the sweet and sour sweet potatoes are sweet on the outside and glutinous on the inside, the hot and sour potato shreds are sour and appetizing, the bacon fried with green peppers has a smoky and spicy flavor, the stir-fried green beans are crispy and delicious, and the cucumber soup is fresh and delicious... The dishes are placed on the table one by one, and the rich aroma instantly outlines the fragrance.
