Chapter 187 Celebrate
Wu Xiyuan was not in a hurry. "Just do it when you have the time. What are we having tonight?"
Hearing his words, Su Jiuyue realized that she had been immersed in this incredible joy the whole afternoon and had forgotten to cook. She got panic and didn't know what to do.
"I... I was so happy that I forgot to cook... " she lowered her head and said in a low voice, as if she was afraid of being blamed by her husband.
Surely, Wu Xiyuan would not blame her. "It's OK. I'm not hungry yet. It's not too late to do it now."
Su Jiuyue did things quick, and Wu Xiyuan didn't believe that gentlemen should be far away from the kitchen, so he stood aside to help her.
She planned to make stir-fried meat with chili peppers today, which was Wu Xiyuan's favorite dish. The bacon she brought from home two days ago had not been eaten up, and now it came in handy.
She put cold water, some pieces of ginger, and the bacon in the pot to boil for about 10 minutes, and then took out the bacon, washed and sliced it.
Then, she put the cut bacon, ginger, and garlic into the frying pan without adding any oil. When the meat was a little curled and the fat was almost fried out, she put in sauce and a spoon of bean paste.
After that, she added green and red peppers, fried them, and finally put in garlic bolt.
As she was cooking, the smell of food immediately filled the air.
Wu Xiyuan lit the fire beside her and felt really hungry.
Then Su Jiuyue heard that a rumbling came from his empty stomach. "Are you hungry? Wait a minute. I'll be ready soon," she said.
She lifted the lid of the pot and took out the broomcorn millet that had been steamed in the pot. The soft and yellowish millet looked very appetizing.
Wu Xiyuan took the dishes to the room, and Su Jiuyue picked up a pickled cabbage from the jar, cut it and made one more dish, and took it to the room as well.
He sat at the table and waited for her, without eating first.
Seeing her coming, he handed over a pair of chopsticks and said, "Thank you, honey."
Su Jiuyue shook her head and said, "It's nothing. That's all I can do every day. It's boring if I'm just hanging around."
When the couple was talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Xiyuan!"
"Mr. Wu! Are you home?!"
......
They wondered why someone would come when the sun was setting.
Wu Xiyuan put down his chopsticks and said, "Let me check it out."
Seeing this, Su Jiuyue followed him out.
At this time, Wu Xiyuan had opened the door. Su Jiuyue stood on the steps and looked over and saw two men standing in front of the door.
She had a good memory and recognized they were Wu Xiyuan's classmates. However, they left a bad impression on Su Jiuyue.
She frowned subconsciously. Zhang Jingbai over there had already saw that Su Jiuyue was standing under the eaves, wearing a plain dress that couldn't conceal her charm. He was enchanted and couldn't stop staring at her.
Su Jiuyue felt that she was offended, so she turned her face away and quickly went back into the room.
Wu Xiyuan saw all this, so he was not acting hospitably and directly reached out to stop them from entering his house.
"Why are you here at this time?!"
Wu Xiyuan kept a straight face, showing a bit impatience, but his expression did not change much.
"I just got lucky." Wu Xiyuan said politely. However, he did not tell anyone that he had already tried not to write so well, but out of his expectation, this year's students were too bad.
He was almost sure that there would be no more than two students passing the exam and becoming "Xiucai" in the whole Qingshui County.
Zhang Jingbai's ranking was two places higher than Wu Xiyuan's. He didn't believe that he would only be a few places higher than that idiot after studying hard for a whole year.
"It's because you are solid, Xiyuan. You can't just pass the discourse on politics with luck."
Wu Xiyuan was still thinking about the dinner cooked by his wife, so he was not in the mood to talk to them more. He said directly, "Well, like you said, maybe I am solid. It's getting late, and if you two don't have anything else, I won't keep you."
Wu Xiyuan rejected them without hesitation, "I'm not as talented as you, so it's good for me to be careful. I will pass."
He always felt that they had ulterior motives secretly, but if his teacher also went, it would be unreasonable for him not to go.
"Okay. Just call me when you make the reservation."
As soon as the two left, he closed the yard gate directly. It seemed that he hated them to the extreme.
Zhang Jingbai didn't look happy either. "He's not that good. How could he have such a perfect wife?"
"Yes, I've told you that he has a beautiful wife. And she looks even more stunning than a few months before."
Zhang Jingbai's eyes twinkled. "Think. Even if she's married, we must have her!"
After Wu Xiyuan finished talking with them, the dishes were cold, and Su Jiuyue heated them again.
When she finished, it was almost dark.
She put a piece of meat into his bowl and said softly, "Your classmates, they..."
He looked up and saw that Su Jiuyue lowered her eyes and wondered. We asked, "What do you think of them?"
At this time, she looked at him and said, "They don't seem to be good people. You'd better keep a distance from them in the future!"
Hearing this, Wu Xiyuan nodded with satisfaction. He was glad that his wife was quite accurate in judging people and was not deceived by their appearance.
"I see. I won't contact them anymore."
Su Jiuyue was relieved and then asked, "Why did they come to you?"
"They suggested we should have a party to celebrate."
