Chapter 1126: Chapter 1126: Experiencing in Advance

Zhao Xiaoli took a spoonful and tasted it. She kept nodding, her hands never stopping.

"Delicious, so sweet."

"Alright. I’ll bring you another bowl, you can take your time eating, I’ll go feed the three of them."

Old Yang felt relieved seeing his wife eat two bowls. His wife had been so uncomfortable, she even considered going to the hospital to terminate this pregnancy.

Now it’s good that she’s able to eat.

Jiang Xinyu and Zhang Qiu’e fed the three children. Tingting and Ah Bao each had half a bowl, and they each had their own spoons, so the two were a bit flustered.

Especially Shi Xian, who ate eagerly. The soup didn’t need chewing, so it was one spoonful after another. It was only when Feifei came in to help feed Ah Bao that things got better.

"Mom, what you made is really delicious. Master Shang praised your ability to control the heat well."

"Tonight I’ll make some jelly noodles for you. You’ll definitely love them, with some minced garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil, it’s even tastier than this."

Xinyu just thought of this, because in this hot summer, jelly noodles are perfect.

After the three children finished eating, Zhang Qiu’e started cleaning up and washing the dishes.

The three little ones loved Feifei. So Jiang Xinyu put them in the stroller, letting Feifei take them out into the yard to play.

She went to the kitchen and soaked three large bowls of sweet potato starch in clear water.

Then she followed the same procedure as before, except she didn’t add sugar. Once cooked, she poured it into six lunch boxes, which would be rectangular when done.

Once everything was ready, she was drenched in sweat; cooking in this summer heat was unbearable.

She went to check on Zhao Xiaoli again, and seeing the couple chatting and laughing, she felt relieved.

Jiang Xinyu found it amusing; she might be entering the mother-in-law role prematurely?

In the evening, when the four who were working returned, they were all happy to see the jelly noodles on the table.

Zhao Xiaoli ate two large bowls.

"Xiao Li, once you feel better, you need to eat properly. Otherwise, you won’t get enough nutrition."

"Got it, I think smelling the scent of pancakes doesn’t make me uncomfortable anymore."

This pregnant woman is really peculiar. She smelled the scent of steamed buns at noon and vomited, but now, even greasy pancakes don’t bother her.

Old Yang truly felt relieved this time.

"Xiao Jiang, thank you."

"No need for gratitude."

After dinner, the family gathered together and had a big watermelon.

Before they could take baths, there was a knock on the door.

Wei Kaiyun opened the door and brought Yang Zhongyi inside.

Upon entering, he stared greedily at Jing Chu. It was a torment like no other, thinking that not seeing her would make feelings fade, but it only made his longing stronger.

He finally returned this afternoon. After the meeting, he didn’t even go back to the dormitory, he came straight over, eager to see the girl he loves.

Jing Chu sensed it and glanced at Yang Zhongyi.

Now she thought that Yang Zhongyi might have feelings for her? But she didn’t feel any excitement or happiness.

She just didn’t like him, so Jing Chu turned her head and played with Ah Bao. Yang Zhongyi felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

He absent-mindedly answered the family’s questions, but not those from the girl he loves.

Guodong also noticed Yang Zhongyi constantly stealing glances at his sister and realized what was happening.

He frowned; Yang Zhongyi seemed like a good person, but he was unwilling.

Yang Zhongyi wouldn’t be able to take good care of his sister. His job meant she’d have to manage the household alone, and that wasn’t acceptable.

No, he needed to talk to Yang Zhongyi later. He shared his father’s belief in finding someone who could take good care of his sister.

"Xiao Yang, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?" Jiang Xinyu looked at the dejected young man, feeling a sense of helplessness; love and affection had to be mutual.

Clearly, Yang Zhongyi was now on a one-sided path.

"Sister-in-law, I haven’t eaten yet."

"There’s still jelly noodles, how about some egg pancakes to go with it?"

"That sounds great, I’ve been wanting some jelly noodles for a while."

Wei Kaiyun, concerned for his wife, wouldn’t let her do it, so Zhang Qiu’e went instead.

Old Yang looked at the distracted young man and patted his shoulder; emotions can’t be forced.

Yang Zhongyi gave a wry smile; his family disagreed, the girl didn’t agree, and only he wished for it. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Zhao Xiaoli smelled the scent of chive and egg pancakes, poked him with her finger, "Ask Sister Zhang to make more, I feel like having some too."

"Alright, I’ll go tell her."

As long as his wife wanted to eat something, he’d find a way to get it for her.

Yang Zhongyi envied Old Yang’s couple and then turned his envious gaze to Wei Kaiyun and his family.

He saw Wei Kaiyun fanning his wife with such a natural gesture.

He glanced again, and he saw the girl he loved kiss Old Yang’s child with a smile.

The toddler, Shi Xian, who could walk a few steps, leaned in, and the girl kissed him too.

Really envious, but also painful, a pain beyond description. Loving someone he can’t have. He thought it was the most painful experience of a lifetime.

"Brother Wei, Shi Xian and Tingting’s birthdays are coming up, right? Here’s my gift for them."

Yang Zhongyi took out car and tank models made from bullet casings stuck together.

Shi Jing and Jianbin’s eyes sparkled with intrigue. Both came over.

"Uncle Yang, my birthday is in two months too, and Feifei’s is in less than two months, Brother Jianbin’s birthday is in March, Ah Bao’s is in April."

Yang Zhongyi laughed heartily after hearing this, but he alone felt how bitter that laughter was.

"No problem, I’ll prepare gifts for all of you, I can give presents for Jianbin and Ah Bao’s birthdays in advance."

"Thank you so much, Uncle Yang."

Yang Zhongyi smiled and ruffled Shi Xian’s hair.

At this time, Zhang Qiu’e brought out the egg pancakes and then the jelly noodles.

Zhao Xiaoli had a small bowl of jelly noodles and one egg pancake.

After eating, she was pulled up by Old Yang and taken for a walk; eating like this at night wasn’t ideal.

"Xiao Yang, why don’t you stay over?" It was already past eight, and going back now seemed too late.

"Sister-in-law, we’re not allowed to stay outside, I should leave now, I’ll come by in a few days."

"Whenever you visit, I’ll make something delicious for you."

"I’ll come by on Sunday."

"Aunt Jiang, I’ll drive Yang Zhongyi." Guodong suddenly spoke up.

Wei Kaiyun understood that Guodong had picked up on this, mainly because Yang Zhongyi’s behavior was too obvious.

"Alright, drive slowly at night."

Everyone stood to see Yang Zhongyi off; he glanced back at the beautiful girl, seeing nothing in her expression.

Once they were in the car, Guodong spoke directly, "Yang Zhongyi, you’re not suitable for Jing Chu."

"Why? Why not me?"

"Can you always be around to take care of her?"

With just this question, Yang Zhongyi found himself speechless.
