Rebirth: A Super Foodie and Her Cat Demon Husband

Chapter 35: Soft-shelled turtle stew

When Mother Liu saw Lieqing leave, she hurried out of the kitchen and put the prepared food on the coffee table.

His peripheral vision caught sight of the black plastic bag on the table. He picked it up and asked in confusion, "What did you buy?"

"Our boss heard that Yuanyuan was discharged from the hospital. He specially got two soft-shelled turtles for her. We don't know how to cook them ourselves, so I asked someone to prepare them for us to bring back."

When Liu Yuanyuan heard that there was something delicious, her eyes lit up. She had actually been hungry for a long time and had just snatched some of Lieqing's dog food from the house.

Liu Yuanyuan immediately stepped forward and opened the bag, and found that there was another layer of plastic bag inside, and a small casserole was placed in the plastic bag. Maybe it had been a little too long and the heat was not as strong as before.

Just as Liu Yuanyuan took out the casserole, her father spoke again: "Xiuling, heat it up. We'll have dinner soon. This time we're taking advantage of the girl."

Mother Liu frowned and said nothing, her face not looking particularly happy.

But he didn't say much and just carried the casserole to the stove to stew it.

Mom stewed the soft-shelled turtle and turned around to see Lieqing happily returning to the living room with his bowl, which had been upgraded from a vegetable bowl to a dog food bowl.

Mother Liu froze at the kitchen door in an instant.

Lie Qing looked at Mother Liu, then at Liu Yuanyuan and her father, then he obediently took two steps back to the corner, put his food bowl on the ground, stuck out his tongue, and looked at the three people in the room with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Mother Liu was also amazed in her heart. This dog was really as Yuanyuan said, very sensible.

Father Liu, who had been sitting at the coffee table, stood up with a smile, walked over to Lieqing, stroked Lieqing's head and said, "What a good dog."

Then he bent down and picked up its dog bowl, went to the dining table and picked out some lean meat for him, then put the bowl in front of Lieqing. However, seeing that the three of them had not started eating yet, Lieqing was not in a hurry to eat the food in his bowl.

Liu Yuanyuan thought that with just this little bit of food, Bitumen probably wouldn't be able to fill him up, so she went back into the house and took out a bag of freeze-dried meat from the plastic bag she brought back. She opened it, scooped a spoonful of it, and poured it into Lieqing's rice bowl.

Lieqing lowered his head to smell it, and visibly swallowed his saliva. But because Liu Yuanyuan hadn't let him eat yet, he still squatted in front of the food bowl and didn't move.

Looking at Lie Qing's performance, Liu Yuanyuan was very surprised.

She now also felt that Lieqing was like a well-trained dog.

This made her a little worried. What if the dog was really lost by some unit or department?

Mother Liu in the kitchen watched the interaction between Liu Yuanyuan and her daughter and Lie Qing, and saw that Lie Qing did not touch the rice in the bowl unless she was told to. She relaxed a little, but still came out of the kitchen carefully, trying not to attract Lie Qing's attention.

But as soon as Mama Liu moved, Lie Qing's eyes darted over. Mama Liu's body stiffened, but she still pretended to be calm and moved to sit on the sofa.

But as soon as I sat down, the casserole on the stove started to gurgle.

Mother Liu saw Lie Qing staring at her, and for a moment she became stiff and dared not move.

Liu Yuanyuan smiled secretly, stood up and walked into the kitchen, washed her hands, turned off the stove, put a towel around the edge of the casserole, and brought it out.

The moment Liu Yuanyuan stood up, Lie Qing's attention immediately focused on Liu Yuanyuan.

Seeing that she didn't have to move and Lie Qing no longer stared at her, Mother Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Father Liu immediately scooped up a few pieces of turtle meat from the casserole and threw them into Lieqing's rice bowl.

"You must be weak from all that wandering. Come, you should replenish yourself too."

Liu Yuanyuan turned around and went back into the kitchen, served food to her parents and herself, then sat down at the coffee table again and said to Lie Qing, "Lie Qing, eat."

When Lie Qing heard Liu Yuan's words, he lowered his head and started to eat voraciously without saying a word.

After the meal, Mother Liu felt more relaxed.

During this time, Lieqing was not full after eating the food in the bowl. He just arched his bowl towards Liu Yuanyuan and lay there without any other movement.

Because they suddenly added the soft-shelled turtle burger, there were too many dishes, so my parents didn’t finish the rice that Liu Yuanyuan served.

Liu Yuanyuan was afraid her mother would continue to worry, so she controlled her food intake. She put down her chopsticks as soon as she felt she wasn't hungry, pretending to be full. As a result, there was still a lot of food left.

Father Liu burped and said with a smile, "That's good. Someone will take care of the leftovers for me. I don't have to eat them every meal and feel like I'm going to choke on them."

Mother Liu rolled her eyes at him unhappily.

After hearing what Liu's father said, Lie Qing stood up suddenly, scaring Liu's mother so much that she froze there again before she could say anything.

But Liu Yuanyuan seemed to understand what Ye Qing meant. She picked up the remaining food and asked her mother with a smile, "There's not much left. Why don't I pour it into Lie Qing's bowl?"

Mother Liu looked at the few leftovers on the plate and nodded stiffly.

Liu Yuanyuan happily poured the remaining food into Lieqing's bowl. Bitumen didn't complain and lowered his head again, wolfing it down.

Lie Qing was happy because he had food to eat, but Liu Yuanyuan was happy because she saw her mother's condition. Her attitude should have softened.

In order to get her mother to agree to keep Lieqing as soon as possible, Liu Yuanyuan took the initiative to take on the remaining housework.

After putting the remaining soft-shelled turtle pot in the refrigerator and tidying up everything, Liu Yuanyuan realized that Lieqing had been squatting quietly and obediently at the kitchen door with his food bowl in his mouth waiting for her, and his parents had already entered the master bedroom.

Liu Yuanyuan reached out and rubbed Lieqing's head, feeling warm in her heart. She wondered how she could have picked up such a smart and sensible dog.

Liu Yuanyuan took the food bowl from its mouth and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I think it won't be long before Mom agrees to let you stay home. But you must not slack off and must actively perform. It would be best if Mom would no longer be afraid of you."

Meanwhile, in the master bedroom, Father Liu hugged Mother Liu from the side as she sat on the bed and said, "Look how well behaved Lieqing is. He doesn't bark or bite. He knows how to fetch the bowl and understands commands. It's rare for Yuanyuan to like such a small animal, so please agree to keep him. So don't be angry."

Mother Liu rolled her eyes at Father Liu again. "So you can tell I'm upset. Is this about the dog? I'm concerned about those two turtles."

This made Mr. Liu a little confused for a moment.

"What's wrong with this turtle? Is there something wrong?"

"What's wrong with that? Your boss is such a stingy person, how could he give you two soft-shelled turtles for no reason just because Yuanyuan was discharged from the hospital? If he cared so much about it, why didn't I see him come to see Yuanyuan during the past two weeks in the hospital?"

"Well, the boss is very busy every day, how can he have time to visit Yuanyuan? Besides, isn't it because the boss likes me that he takes special care of Yuanyuan? What's wrong with that? Besides, the boss is very kind. As long as I finish my work for the day, I can come to the hospital anytime to take your shift. He's not stingy at all."
