Chapter 196 - 195: Mei Shuping
Today is the 28th of the lunar month. After Lin Wan returned home, she cleaned the chicken and duck and hung them in the kitchen.
At noon, Lin Wan steamed some rice. She stir-fried bean sprouts with meat, as well as pork and vermicelli.
Han Yi brought home a serving of braised pork from the cafeteria. "There was a leader visiting today, so they made extra. I secretly got the kitchen to keep some for me; Chef Liu’s skill is great, it’s not greasy at all. Try a bit," he said while helping Lin Wan put a piece near her mouth.
"Mm, it’s quite tasty."
"Is the little market far?"
"Not far, it’s right at... I bought a lot of things, enough for us to eat for half a month. I wanted to buy a thermos, but there weren’t any for sale."
"Thermos?... Tonight I’ll bring my kettle for you to use temporarily; it keeps warm too. I’ll ask the logistics department another day to see if they have a thermos for us."
"Mm, no hurry. It’s just a bit inconvenient when guests come over."
In the afternoon, with nothing to do at home, Lin Wan got out the yarn she had brought and planned to knit a vest for Han Yi.
Around four or five o’clock, Lin Wan welcomed someone—one of the soldiers she had seen in Huai Town, presumably Han Yi’s biological father.
"Are you Xiao Yi’s lover?" He seemed even more imposing than a couple of years ago.
"Yes, is the officer looking for Han Yi? He should be at the military now."
"I’m here specifically to see you today."
