Ye Xunqing went into the house to discuss things. Mo Yuyan and Ye Xunbai were more interested in the lotus pods and lotus flowers in the lotus field, so after asking the owner's consent, they went to pick lotus pods.

"Let me see what Mr. Ye brought today." Xie Lingyin was interested in the delicious food.

Ye Xunqing said: "Puff pastry mooncakes have fresh meat filling, five-nut filling, and sesame red bean paste filling."

"This mooncake is so unique, different from anything I've seen before." Xie Lingyin was clearly attracted by the mooncake. "The skin is so thin, and it tastes so delicious."

Jiang Ruisheng took one and put it in his hand. The mooncake was not big and he could finish it in just three or two bites.

"Let me try it first." Jiang Ruisheng ate the mooncake and only let Xie Lingyin eat it after making sure that there was no problem.

Xie Lingyin said helplessly: "Ruisheng, you are too nervous. Ye Xiaoyou is not a bad boy."

"Uncle Xie, you can just call me Xunqing." Ye Xunqing said.

Xie Lingyin smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Xunqing."

Jiang Ruisheng brought lotus seed soup, which was sweet and a little cold, probably because it was chilled in well water.

"Have a bowl." Jiang Ruisheng's tone was very cold.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang." Ye Xunqing believed that one should not hit a smiling person, so even if Jiang Ruisheng had a bad attitude, he would still face him with a smile.

Jiang Ruisheng pursed his lips and stopped saying anything that would upset others.

When Ye Xunqing saw them playing chess, he took the initiative to bring up some topics related to chess. Xie Lingyin was indeed very interested and immediately invited Ye Xunqing to play chess.

However, Ye Xunqing was not very good at chess. All his skills were learned in interest classes, so after a while, all that were left on the chessboard were Xie Lingyin's pieces.

"I'm so ashamed." Ye Xunqing covered his face and said, "I'm a terrible chess player. Uncle Xie, please don't play with me."

At this time, Jiang Ruisheng spoke, his tone containing three parts of ridicule, three parts of contempt, and four parts of pride.

"Oh, bad. If you don't know how to get off, just move aside and don't take up my seat." Jiang Ruisheng asked Ye Xunqing to give up his seat to him.

Xie Lingyin refused, "Ruisheng, go check on those two children and make sure they don't fall into the water."

Although Jiang Ruisheng was not satisfied with this arrangement, he never objected to Xie Lingyin's orders.

"Yeah." Jiang Ruisheng warned Ye Xunqing, "Don't even think about doing anything bad. If you make Ayin unhappy, I'll punish you."

Ye Xunqing raised his eyebrows at him, meaning that if you have the guts, just tell Uncle Xie that you don't want to go.

Only Xie Lingyin and Ye Xunqing were left in the room. Xie Lingyin stopped playing chess and turned to Ye Xunqing to ask how the fried dough sticks were made last time.

"If Uncle Xie likes it, I'll make some and send it to you tomorrow." Ye Xunqing was not afraid that Xie Lingyin would learn the technique, but frying Sanzi was troublesome and he was worried that Xie Lingyin would not be able to learn it.

"It's not me who likes it, it's Ruisheng who likes it." Xie Lingyin said with a smile, "He ate all the fried noodles you gave him last time."

Ye Xunqing's gossip spirit was on fire. "Uncle Xie, are you and Uncle Jiang husband and wife?"

Xie Lingyin still had a smile on her face. "Why don't you think we must be husband and wife?"

"Intuition," Ye Xunqing replied, "I always feel that you two are not husband and wife. Uncle Jiang doesn't look like your husband, but more like your... well... how should I put it?"

"Guard." Xie Lingyin took the initiative and said, "Ruisheng is my guard."

"Oh." Ye Xunqing guessed correctly. This person must be from a prominent background.

"But he's also my lover." Xie Lingyin sighed and said, "I also want to do something for Ruisheng, but I can't do anything well."

Ye Xunqing imagined in his mind a drama in which a rich young man turned against his family for love.

"Uncle Jiang is okay, at least he didn't ask you to dig wild vegetables for eighteen years." Ye Xunqing muttered.

At least there is a house, land, and a large field of lotus flowers.

"What vegetables are you digging?" Xie Lingyin didn't hear clearly.

Ye Xunqing immediately said: "I mean I can teach you to cook a few simple dishes at noon."

Xie Lingyin couldn't sit still any longer. "Then you guys stay here for lunch. No, no, no, can you teach me now? Ruisheng is not here. If he were here, he would definitely not let me into the kitchen."

Ye Xunqing looked at Xie Lingyin's hands, and found that her fingers were indeed slender and not stained by a single drop of water.

"Will Uncle Jiang beat me when he comes back?" Ye Xunqing said.

"He wouldn't dare if I were here." Xie Lingyin finished her mooncake. "The mooncakes are delicious, but it's a pity that this must be difficult to learn."

"It's really difficult." Ye Xunqing didn't intend to teach him how to make mooncakes, as it would be fatal.

While Jiang Ruisheng was out, Xie Lingyin made two dishes with the help of Ye Xunqing, one was scrambled eggs with chili peppers, and the other was three fresh vegetables.

These two dishes are very simple and anyone with hands can make them. Obviously, Xie Lingyin has hands.

Jiang Ruisheng and his friends came back. The two younger ones picked a basket of lotus pods, while Jiang Ruisheng brought back a few lotus flowers. As soon as he came back, he could smell the fragrance of the food.

"Ruisheng, come and try the food I cooked." Xie Lingyin rolled up her sleeves and was bringing the dishes to the table.

"You..." Jiang Ruisheng frowned at first, then blamed: "Why did you cook by yourself?"

Xie Lingyin was a little dazed, "I..."

"You're being pretentious." Ye Xunqing brought out two large plates of food. "Your wife is willing to condescend to cook for you, so why are you being pretentious?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruisheng blushed, "No, no, Ayin and I are not..."

"What's not what?" Ye Xunqing said, "Childishly speaking, there's only one bed in your house. Do you two usually sleep on the floor and the bed? You've been sleeping together for so many years, why are you still being so pretentious?"

Xie Lingyin smiled, "Ruisheng, come and have dinner. Try the dishes Xunqing taught me to cook."

"I..." Jiang Ruisheng felt uneasy. He didn't want his relationship with Xie Lingyin to be exposed. He was not worthy. Who was Xie Lingyin, and who was he?

"Eat, Uncle Jiang." Ye Xunqing said earnestly, "You should be happy to have a wife who cooks for you. For example, I love to cook for my husband Ah Heng, and my husband Ah Heng loves to eat the food I cook."

After listening to this, Jiang Ruisheng seemed to be enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva. He immediately sat down to eat and praised Xie Lingyin's cooking skills while eating.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

After dinner, Jiang Ruisheng took the initiative to clean up the mess and refused to let Xie Lingyin do it again.

"Thank you, Xunqing." Xie Lingyin looked towards the kitchen and said with a smile, "I have limited time left, so I'll have to cook more for him in the future."

"Actually, it would be more enjoyable if you two cooked together." Ye Xunqing made the suggestion sincerely, and his mind was definitely not full of unhealthy nonsense.

Xie Lingyin seemed to be inspired. "What a shame! It's only after all these years that I think of doing this."

"I think you can live another fifty years without any problem." Ye Xunqing said.

Xie Lingyin was amused by him, "You are still young, cherish the person in front of you and don't waste your time."

"Of course." Ye Xunqing, who was as incense-like as a mosquito coil, said, "No one loves my Ah Heng more than I do."
