Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Your Wife Is Really Beautiful

The next day, when Ji Ying and her mother-in-law Zhou He arrived at the factory, the first thing they saw was the fried fish on the table.

Wu Meili told Ji Ying everything Xu Nianhua had entrusted her with the day before.

The fish were for making fish chili sauce, and there was also a grass carp specially reserved for the Xu Family by Pei Yicheng, for Ji Ying to bring back home.

"How can I accept this?"

Ji Ying felt embarrassed looking at the large grass carp that swam back and forth in the water.

Wu Meili relayed, "Boss Pei said, after working so hard yesterday, they should at least take a fish home to enjoy the delicacy and asked you not to dismiss it."

Speaking of which, Wu Meili praised, "Yingzi, speaking of which, your daughter is really skilled at cooking. The fish stew she made yesterday was especially delicious, and the chopped chili grass carp was both spicy and fresh. Old Jiang and I were lucky to have a taste."

Ji Ying said modestly, "Nianhua just figured it out by herself." Her daughter’s cooking skills had blossomed, seemingly inheriting the Ji Family’s genes. She was good at cooking, as was her third brother, who was also very skilled in the kitchen.

"Sister Wu, they got back very late last night, didn’t they?" Ji Ying inquired.

"Indeed, after dinner and frying the fish, they didn’t return until after ten," Wu Meili said, praising her two sons and a daughter.

She had seen many families with numerous children, but to have such outstanding and harmonious sons and daughters, their family was indeed enviable.

"Xiaohe, go check on Nianji. He’s probably been too busy to eat breakfast. See if you can buy him a few buns," Ji Ying handed fifty cents to Zhou He, thinking that Xu Nianji and the others must have been very late and hadn’t returned the day before.

Zhou He was newly married, and she hoped she wouldn’t overthink it.

"Mom, I still have money on me."

"Take it, buy two meat buns to eat," Ji Ying insisted, pushing the money into Zhou He’s hand and pushing her out the door.

After Zhou He left the food factory, she headed straight to Xu Nianji’s bean sprout stall. Mother-in-law Ji Ying was right; Xu Nianji had been busy nonstop since six in the morning, with no time for breakfast.

"Xiaohe." Xu Nianji’s eyes lit up the moment he saw his newlywed wife, Zhou He.

They had just married and were in the sweetest phase. If it hadn’t been too late yesterday, he would have rushed back for sure. Pei Yicheng had suggested Ling Dong drive him home, but it was late, everyone in the village was asleep, including his parents and Xiaohe. Having Ling Dong make a special trip didn’t seem right to Xu Nianji.

Pei Yicheng had already helped them so much. It was best not to bother others if not absolutely necessary.

"Nianji, I bought you meat buns. I had noodles at home," Zhou He said, handing over the steaming hot meat buns to Xu Nianji and then taking over the scale from him, weighing bean sprouts for customers with a smiling face.

Some recognized Xu Nianji, and seeing Zhou He, they couldn’t help but praise, "Your daughter-in-law is really pretty."

Xu Nianji, eating his meat buns, couldn’t stop his smile from reaching ear to ear.

The meat buns were generously filled; the aroma made Xu Nianji feel these were the most delicious buns in the world. He even saved one for her. Seizing a moment when no one was buying bean sprouts, he stuffed the bun into her hand, insisting, "Have another meat bun."

Zhou He wanted to refuse, but Xu Nianji seemed to anticipate her resistance and brought the bun directly to her lips.
