The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Xin Yi and the other person chatted casually, but by the time they reached the state-run restaurant, it was almost closing time.

Xin Yi looked at the staff cleaning inside and said, "Auntie, it looks like the state-run restaurant probably doesn't have much food left!"

"I'm so sorry, Yiyi, I didn't expect it to take so long to get here. I should have gone home and gotten my car first!"

Xin Yi's eyes lit up. "Auntie, is your home far from here?"

"It's not that far, only a ten-minute walk. What's wrong?"

"Auntie, it's not too far anyway, let's go home for dinner. Let me show off my cooking skills to you tonight!"

Feng Hua looked him up and down. "Yi Yi, you can cook? I'd better have a good taste of it and see if my little boy will enjoy the bliss of having two wives or suffer endless hardships in the future. Come on, let's go buy some groceries!"

The two happily went to buy vegetables, but they didn't expect that the supply and marketing cooperative didn't have many vegetables left. Only the meat shop next door had some bones, pig's feet, and pig offal.

Feng Hua sighed helplessly, "Oh dear, the weather is really not cooperating. How about we go buy some snacks instead?"

"This isn't just bad weather; it's like God has chosen the menu for us! Let's go buy groceries!"

Xin Yi picked out some bones, two pig's feet, and a pig's large intestine, which cost her less than three yuan in total.

Feng Hua looked disgusted. "Yi Yi, I understand you buying bones, but why did you buy all this pig offal and pig's feet? It stinks!"

After saying that, she put her hand to her nose and fanned it, "It smells so bad! Yiyi, is this really edible? I feel like I can't enjoy it, you can only watch me eat it."

Xin Yi disagreed, "Auntie, don't be so sure of yourself. Wait until I've finished cooking before you say anything. By the way, Auntie, do you have any flour at home?"

Feng Hua looked puzzled. Wasn't this supposed to be about pig offal? How did it turn into talking about flour?

"I like noodles, so I keep a lot of flour at home. What, do you want some noodles?"

Xin Yi smiled and kept everyone in suspense, "I have a brilliant plan, just wait and enjoy the delicious food!"

Feng Hua looked distressed. It seemed that Yi Yi hadn't given up on making pig offal for dinner. Oh well, she'd make some egg noodles later.

Having made up her mind, Feng Hua didn't care how much trouble Xin Yi caused.

Feng Hua led Xin Yi back to her residence. Looking at the courtyard in front of her, Xin Yi was very curious.

"Auntie, why don't you live in the staff dormitory?"

"I like quiet places. I happened to meet the owner of this courtyard who wanted to buy a house, so I bought it on the spur of the moment. Come on, let's go inside and have a look. From now on, when you come to the county, you can just stay here instead of staying at the guesthouse!"

As she spoke, Feng Hua opened the courtyard gate. "Come and see, do you like my courtyard?"

As soon as Xin Yi entered the door, a rich fragrance of flowers wafted towards her. Looking at the yard full of begonias, it was quite pleasant. However, the flower language of begonias is that the love could not end well. Later, it also came to mean separation, sorrow and other meanings. Begonias are also called heartbreak flowers and love grass.

This courtyard full of begonias suggests that Aunt Feng has quite a story to tell.

"Yiyi? Yiyi?"

"what?"

"Yiyi, why are you lost in thought?"

Xin Yi looked embarrassed. Did she mean that she understood the meaning of the begonia? Did she know the secret deep in her heart? No, this flower language came about later, so maybe it doesn't mean that now.

"Auntie, it's nothing. I just got a little distracted by all these begonias in the yard. The thought of cleaning pig intestines in the yard later makes me feel like I'm ruining the atmosphere, hehe!"

"Washing in the yard? Why not in the kitchen?"

"You think it smells bad? Go wash it in the kitchen, won't that just pollute your kitchen?"

"Yeah, thank goodness you know, otherwise my kitchen would be in big trouble!"

"It can't be that exaggerated, Auntie. Could you get me some flour? I'll wash it in the yard!"

Perhaps to make it easier to water the flowers in the yard, there is a water pipe in the yard.

Xin Yi put the things she bought next to the water pipe. Not long after, Feng Hua came over with a large iron basin and a bowl of flour.

"Yiyi, I've brought you the flour. Do you think this is enough?"

Yiyi took the things from Fenghua's hands, "Auntie, this isn't enough, just fill a big basin!"

Feng Hua helplessly touched her forehead. This girl really doesn't care about the cost. So much flour would last a long time for an ordinary family. Oh well, what can I do? My son likes it. Yes, when that brat comes, I'll make him pay for it. Let him mess around with it as much as he wants.

Once Feng Hua understood this, her mood improved considerably. "Then Auntie will go get it for you right now!"

Xin Yi first filled a basin with water, put the bones and pig's feet in the basin to wash them clean, then took them out and washed them several times. After emptying the water, she took the basin to the kitchen.

"Auntie, just leave the flour here. I'll start making the bone broth first, then I'll go wash the pig intestines!"

Feng Hua filled a large basin with flour and placed it on the cutting board. "Yi Yi, I'll start the fire for you!"

"Thank you, aunt!"

Xin Yi first blanched the bones, then added water, scallions, ginger, garlic, dried chili peppers, star anise, cinnamon, and other spices.

"Auntie, let the soup in the pot simmer for ten minutes before putting in the bones and pig's feet. I'm going to wash the pig intestines now!"

"Okay, you go ahead, I won't go check it out. I probably can't stand the smell!"

"Okay, just wait and see how my fragrance seduce you!"

Xin Yi walked out of the kitchen with an empty basin, leaving Feng Hua standing there muttering to herself, "Let's see how delicious it can be. No, I have to call that brat over here. I don't want to suffer alone." With that thought, she stood up and went back to her room to make the call.

At the county public security bureau, Feng Yi was extremely anxious. Several days had passed, and the other party still hadn't made a move. Could it be that the other party had received a tip-off?

Meng Tang kicked a chair. "These enemy agents are too damn smart. They didn't fall for it. Could it be that Lin Ze gave himself away somewhere? I told you to let me do it, but you insisted on replacing him. Now look what happened, the enemy agents saw through us. What's the point of continuing like this?"

"Meng Tang, shut up!"

Feng Yi shouted angrily, and Meng Tang dared not lose his temper anymore, so he had no choice but to sit back down in his original seat.

"Director Ning, let's wait two more days. If they still don't take the bait, we'll cancel the plan!"

"Are you sure? Don't say we, the police, weren't cooperating with you later!"

"That's for sure, Director Ning, you're overthinking it!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please come in!"

The visitor was a clerk from the county public security bureau. "Director Ning, someone called looking for Comrade Feng!"

Did the other party say who it was?

"The other party said she was Comrade Feng's aunt and invited him home for dinner, and specifically mentioned that she wouldn't be alone!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yi knew that Xin Yi had also gone home with her aunt. "Okay, I understand, thank you!"

"You're welcome. I'll head out now!"
