Chapter 16

Qiao Shuling first boiled the water in the pot, added ginger slices and a little cooking wine, poured the ribs into the pot, heated the oil in a pot and fry the ribs until both sides were golden brown, then poured in the seasonings and half a bowl of plum water soaked with plums, and simmered over high heat until the sauce thickened.

The rich aroma of plum pork ribs immediately wafted into the yard.

Mr. Gong, who was playing with the two treasures, was already very hungry. When he smelled the aroma that was so delicious that it could make your eyebrows fall off, his stomach immediately rumbled and he even lost the mood to play chess with the two treasures.

Cheng Xiao’s wife’s cooking skills are probably better than those in state-owned restaurants!

Qiao Shuling didn’t know that Mr. Gong thought her cooking was better than that of state-owned restaurants after smelling the fragrance, so she quickly made a fish head and tofu soup. She was willing to add oil and seasonings, and the milky white soup was extremely fresh and sweet.

Finally, stir-fry the vegetables and heat the pig’s trotters, and you’re done!

The two babies knew their mother had finished cooking just by smelling the food.

They led Mr. Gong to wash his hands like little adults, and also very consciously took Mr. Gong to sit at the dinner table.

Mr. Gong sat down a little awkwardly, and his eyes widened when he saw the three dishes and one soup on the table.

This is too rich!

Xie Chengxiao, that brat, actually lives such a good life on weekdays! He always feels sorry for him because he has lost weight.

The pork ribs with preserved plums were shiny and oily, the pig’s trotters were soft and tasty, and the fish head tofu soup was milky white. I don’t know how Qiao Shuling made it, and even the small green vegetables were fried to a different color..

Seeing that Mr. Gong was stunned, Qiao Shuling thought he was embarrassed and said with a smile, “Mr. Gong, try it quickly.”

“Hey!” Mr. Gong responded.

Xie Shengsheng, who was standing next to him, was already chewing on the spareribs until his mouth was full of oil. “Grandpa Gong, eat quickly!”

Xie Chuanchuan, who was gnawing on a pig’s trotter in a very civilized manner, urged, “Grandpa, it’s delicious!”

The warm hospitality of the mother and her two children made Gong Laodu, who had not experienced the warmth of his family for a long time, feel very happy.The eye sockets.

He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of pork ribs. Instantly, the sweet and sour flavor of meat filled his mouth. He felt like his tongue was about to fall off from the fragrance!

So delicious!

The delicious food filled Mr. Gong’s stomach.

I don’t know if it was because he was already starving, or because of Qiao Shuling’s superb cooking skills, but Mr. Gong even said that this was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life!

When eating something too delicious, there is no time to talk.

Just when Qiao Shuling and the two elders were enjoying their meal, the gate of the yard was opened.

Xie Chengxiao had been on a mission for half a month and had a scratch on his left arm. He had just finished reporting his work to Chief Liao, but the chief invited him to dinner and he refused. He was anxious to come back to see the two treasures.

Xie Chengxiao left in a hurry and didn’t have time to divorce that evil woman. Although Lu Hong would help take care of him, he still felt a little uneasy.

But I didn’t expect that as soon as I arrived at the gate of my house, I would smell an extremely fragrant scent.

Xie Chengxiao didn’t think much about it. He pushed the door open and went in, only to find that the scene he thought Qiao Shuling was abusing the two treasures did not happen. Instead, they were eating happily.

What’s even more bizarre is that his teacher, Mr. Gong, is actually here!

???

Xie Chengxiao feels that this world is a bit magical!

“dad!!!”

The two babies also saw Xie Chengxiao, and they raised their greasy little hands that had just eaten meat and rushed over first.

“Dad, you’re finally back! We missed you so much!”

Xie Chengxiao picked them up one by one, and a rare tenderness appeared on his cold and handsome face, “Well, Dad is back!”

Qiao Shuling also stood up, her charming face full of smiles, “Hubby, you’re back.”

Xie Chengxiao originally had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, such as why Mr. Gong was here, and why the two treasures were having dinner with her, but looking at Qiao Shuling’s beautiful and lively face, he felt inexplicably stuck in his throat.

Elder Gong was eating and didn’t bother to greet Xie Chengxiao. He finished the last piece of pork ribs in his bowl before saying, “You’re so lucky, little bastard! You have such a beautiful wife who cooks better than the chefs in state-owned restaurants, and two sons who are prettier than New Year dolls. You’re the envy of everyone!”

After hearing what Master Gong said, the two treasures raised their heads proudly.

“Grandpa Gong, my mom’s cooking is the best in the world!”

Xie Chengxiao was even more puzzled. Qiao Shuling usually didn’t care about the two treasures and even abused them. How come the relationship between the two treasures and her suddenly became so good?

Only then did he notice that the two treasures were no longer as pale and skinny as before. Instead, they had some flesh on their cheeks, and they looked even more adorable. It was obvious that they had been taken care of carefully during this period of time.

Xie Chengxiao’s first reaction was——

What evil plan is this woman planning again?

It’s no wonder he thought so. Nothing good had happened since he met Qiao Shuling. She deliberately threw herself into his arms when they first met, and drugged him when they met again. He had thought they would live a good life after having a child, but Qiao Shuling was attracting other women outside and abusing the child in private.

A woman like this…it was really hard for him to imagine that she had become a better person.

Xie Chengxiao put the two treasures down and looked at Mr. Gong with concern, “Teacher, how is your health recently?”

Rather than being curious about why Mr. Gong was here, Xie Chengxiao was more worried about his heart disease.

Master Gong is both his teacher and father to him, and a very important person. Whenever he is not on a mission, he will go to see Master Gong.

Mr. Gong waved his hands and sighed, “Stinky boy, you almost didn’t see me anymore.”

“What’s going on?” A rare trace of panic appeared on Xie Chengxiao’s cold face.

Old Gong recounted the entire story of how Qiao Shuling saved him today.

“If Xiao Qiao hadn’t saved me today, I would have died.”

Xie Chengxiao’s eyes were complicated and inquiring, “How come I didn’t know you had medical skills before?”

Qiao Shuling said frankly, “I learned this from my master in the countryside when I was little, but he didn’t let me tell anyone else. After all, the environment a few years ago…”

She had some unfinished words, but both Mr. Gong and Xie Chengxiao understood.

During the turbulent years, traditional Chinese medicine was severely cracked down on. It was common for highly skilled doctors to teach secretly without telling their apprentices or outsiders.

Old Gong had experienced being exiled to the cowshed, so he sighed when he heard about this, “Xiao Qiao, your master has suffered.”

Qiao Shuling had long known that some aspects of Chinese medicine didn’t make sense to him, so he had already thought of this reason.

Old Gong sighed and regretted his actions, but Xie Chengxiao still felt something was wrong, and his cold and hard brows were still tightly furrowed.

Qiao Shuling’s whole temperament seemed different today.

Her previous frivolous and harsh appearance was completely gone. Instead, she became as elegant as an orchid, and even spoke in a soft voice.

How could a person change so much? Xie Chengxiao couldn’t help but think the worst of Qiao Shuling.

Does she think the money is not enough?
