Chapter 93: Daily Affairs, Can It Be Called Water? (Kong Yiji Face)
Back at home, Qin Guanglin rinsed the pots and pans and, following Teacher He’s instructions, began chopping vegetables rapidly.
The more he chopped, the more impressed he was with Teacher He. Despite having chopped so many times before, he still had to pay close attention to his hands, afraid of accidentally chopping them.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, but to reach her level of expertise, who knows how many times one has to cook... Eh, how come her hands are still so fair and tender?
Qin Guanglin felt increasingly amazed. Talent really couldn’t be compared. Qin’s Mom had been cooking for so many years, yet she was slightly inferior to her. Although both involved hard work, talent seemed more important by comparison.
Sitting on the sofa, Qin’s Mom occasionally turned to glance at the kitchen and nodded in satisfaction as she saw Qin Guanglin’s movements becoming ever more skilled.
It wasn’t in vain—after quarrels with his wife in the future, he’d not have to worry about being hungry and it could even improve marital feelings.
The aunt sat on the sofa with a glass of water, idly watching television.
She had planned to enjoy herself before arriving, expecting to stay at her sister-in-law’s place for a week, perhaps seek medical advice, and experience city life.
She didn’t expect it to be completely different when her brother was around. Not only was there no meat in the dishes, but her sister-in-law didn’t even enter the kitchen anymore. Every day, she let that youngster do the cooking. Moreover, he cooked a lot, and they would save what they couldn’t finish at night for the next afternoon.
Unfamiliar with the area, she didn’t know where to go out. After wandering around the park, where the groups of old men and women didn’t care to mingle with an outsider like her, she had no choice but to return and watch television.
It felt like prison life, but with the added luxury of a TV to watch freely.
