Mo Beihan walked over with a smile and pulled her into his arms. “Are you not jealous that your teacher who always dotes on you placed all her attention on Qin Li and Qin Si?”
Gu Qingyao paused what she was doing and looked at him. “Oh, please. Am I really short of love?”
They were her biological grandchildren and were separated from each other for so many years. With the circumstances back then, such separation was no different from parting forever and now that they finally met, it was natural for them to be affectionate.
She and Jiang Yiru had a teacher-disciple relationship that lasted for several years only. How could she compare to Qin Li and Qin Si?
Mo Beihan laughed upon hearing that!
He kissed her forehead and said, “That’s right. My Yao Yao has people to dote on her. You are the treasure of our entire family. Wait for me here obediently. I’m going to buy some vegetables, and I’ll come back later to help you cook.”
As Gu Qingyao watched Mo Beihan leave, she felt a little speechless yet also blissful!
In the many years of both the previous and present lifetime, he had always prioritized her feelings and thought of her at the very first moment!
She began to prepare the ingredients blissfully.
Mo Beihan returned very quickly. There were several small stalls not far away from where a few citizens displayed some vegetables that they harvested from home. Some other stalls sold chickens, ducks, eggs, and even shoes and clothes.
The liberal environment had just begun, and many people had yet to react accordingly. At this time, a stable job was still the goal that everyone pursued.
Those who started a small business here were mostly ordinary citizens without a job.
After looking around, Mo Beihan bought some eggs, two chickens and some vegetables back.
He paid extra money to buy the seller’s basket as well that he simply used to carry the goods back.
When he returned, Jiang Yiru and the others were still talking in the courtyard, thus he walked straight to the kitchen with the basket.
“They’re still talking and are not looking in our direction. You can add some ingredients as you deem fit. Although there are people selling vegetables outside, the varieties are limited.”
Gu Qingyao nodded. She had plenty of items in her interspace, but it was not convenient for her to retrieve them at first.
Now that Mo Beihan made a trip out and everyone saw it, it would not be suspicious if she took out some things from her interspace.
Thus, she retrieved some pork, pork ribs, beef and fish.
The pair busied themselves in the kitchen for over an hour and prepared six dishes and two soups.
Looking at the table of food, Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin laughed immediately. “Aiya. This is the life when Yao Yao is around! It’s been over six years. We finally can live a flavorful life like before!”
This little girl’s culinary skills were extraordinary, and they had the best meals back when she followed them to the capital to look after them.
Afterward, Yao Yao went abroad, and their lives returned to the “normal” standard.
Qin Li and Qin Si continued to chat with their grandparents. They were already aware of Gu Qingyao’s culinary skills – when they were overseas, they had eaten Gu Qingyao’s food before. The taste was even better than that of their family chef’s.
After their meal, Qin Li and Qin Si stayed over while Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan went to the Gu House.
The Gu family developed rapidly over these few years. Second Uncle had a very high status and was considered a new talent in the capital. Although its foundation in the capital was not as strong as the large clans, it is also considered to be a ranked, wealthy family already!
When Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan arrived, the sight of the new environment made Gu Qingyao smile. Her uncles and older cousins were amazing!
Just as they were about to enter the door, a piercing voice sounded, “Mo Beihan!”
