Chapter 608: Making Tonic Soup for Uncle
Xiaomai lay on the bed with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. She really couldn't fall asleep, but when she thought about how the uncle had not slept well in those days, she pretended to be asleep, because only in this way the uncle could also sleep well and peacefully.
He Lingting hugged Xiaomai, and as soon as his head hit the pillow, he quickly fell asleep. He had been worried about Xiaomai these past few days. At the beginning, Youyou said that she should massage Xiaomai's lower abdomen every two hours. He was too worried, so he kept watching over Xiaomai and didn't dare to fall asleep day or night.
Later, Youyou said that Xiaomai's condition was slightly stable, but He Lingting still didn't dare to let go of his worries. Although Youyou was there during the day, he still had to deal with official business occasionally. It was not until Youyou said that Xiaomai was fine that he relaxed his tense nerves, and the fatigue all over his body swept over him, and he fell asleep peacefully.
Xiaomai felt the uncle's regular breathing and the arm on her was a little soft, so she concluded that the uncle was really asleep.
Xiaomai slowly opened her eyes and looked up at the uncle's peaceful sleeping face. She couldn't help but reach out and touch the uncle's face. "These guys have made you so tired that you don't even have time to shave your stubble." Xiaomai murmured with heartache.
Xiaomai took the uncle's hand off her body and slowly got up, trying to be as gentle as possible for fear of waking the uncle.
After Xiaomai got up, she looked at the uncle for a while and found that he had lost weight, so she got up and went downstairs. She wanted to make something delicious for the uncle, but then she thought, everyone would get together in the evening and the uncle would definitely drink, so she made some health-preserving soup for the uncle to fill his stomach so that he wouldn't feel uncomfortable drinking on an empty stomach.
Xiaomai has always been a person of action. She would do something immediately when she thought of it. So she got up and went downstairs, and went straight to the kitchen.
Aunt Li, who was cleaning the living room, saw Xiaomai and said quickly, "Madam, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. You should go and have a rest. You just got out of the hospital, so your health is very important."
"It's okay, Aunt Li, Youyou checked me and said I'm fine now. Besides, I don't do strenuous exercise." Xiaomai said.
"Then you have to be careful. There are a lot of things in the kitchen. It's not good if they get bumped or rubbed. You'd better go wait by the sofa! I'll do it." Aunt Li said.
"I'll be careful, Aunt Li, just let me do it. I see that uncle has looked much more haggard these days, so I wanted to make him some soup to nourish him. I want to make it for him myself to express my love!" Xiaomai said coquettishly.
Aunt Li saw that the young lady wanted to make delicious food for the young master, so she didn't insist. She was embarrassed to obstruct the affection between the young couple, so she said helplessly: "Then young lady, you must be careful, or how about this, I will stay here with you!"
Xiaomai knew that Aunt Li was worried about her, so she didn't say anything else and could only agree, "Okay then!"
So Xiaomai made some health-preserving and nourishing soup for the uncle under the watchful eyes of Aunt Li. Aunt Li really liked this young lady. Not only was she beautiful and kind, she was also very caring towards the young master. The smell of this soup made his appetite surge!
He Lingting woke up and did not touch the little girl when he stretched out his hand. He frowned and opened his eyes, "Hey! Where is the little girl?"
He got up hurriedly and went downstairs in his slippers. As soon as he went down the stairs, he was attracted to the kitchen by the rich smell of soup.
The soup had been simmering for an hour at this point, and all the ingredients had been seasoned. Xiaomai tasted it, then nodded and turned off the fire.
"Madam, what kind of soup is this? It's so delicious!" Aunt Li said admiringly.
"This! I don't even know what it's called. I saw a master chef making it when I was working in a restaurant before. I was attracted by its rich flavor. Then I heard that this soup is very nutritious, so I learned how to make it secretly." Xiaomai recalled.
"The young lady is so smart. She can learn by watching others do it. This is amazing. It smells delicious. The young master will definitely like it." Aunt Li said.
"Aunt Li, you don't know, uncle has been exhausted these days. He has been taking care of me in the hospital all day and hasn't gotten enough rest. He also has to take care of the company in the little time he has during the day. Haven't you seen that he has lost a lot of weight in the past two days?" Xiaomai said with concern.
"Yes, I told the young master that I would go to the hospital to take care of you. I was relieved when he said he would come in person. Madam, I watched the young master grow up. He has suffered a lot over the years and was forced to develop a cold character. But the young master really loves you to his bones and blood. He can't bear to see you get hurt!" Aunt Li said with emotion.
"Well, I know, Aunt Li, don't worry, I will love him well and give him warmth. I'm done here, you can go somewhere else, you don't have to look after me." Xiaomai said mischievously.
"Okay, then I'll go do some other work. Call me if you need anything." Aunt Li said with relief when she saw that Xiaomai had already made the soup. After that, she went out to do something else.
Xiaomai made the soup and wanted to go back to the room to wait for the uncle to wake up. Then she looked at the time. It was already late, and the uncle would probably wake up soon! Because the uncle didn't have the habit of sleeping during the day, no matter how tired he was, he would wake up after sleeping for a while.
Xiaomai thought that since the uncle should have woken up by now, she might as well serve the soup and put it on the dining table for him to cool. So Xiaomai found a large bowl, lifted the lid of the pot, and served the soup.
He Lingting followed the smell to the kitchen, where his young wife was pouring soup into a bowl spoonful by spoonful. He walked over quietly and hugged the little girl from behind.
Xiaomai was stunned for a moment, then smelled the familiar smell, leaned back, and said softly: "Husband is awake, why don't you sleep a little longer, it's still early."
"My husband can't sleep without my baby around." He Lingting said.
"You, just keep talking nonsense. I saw you were sleeping very soundly just now, almost snoring." Xiaomai said mischievously.
"Really? I said the baby really came out, it turns out I woke him up. I'm sorry!" He Lingting kissed the top of Xiaomai's head and said.
"Oh, I was just teasing you. I really couldn't sleep. I actually fell asleep in the hospital for the first few days. And my husband sleeps the most elegantly. He doesn't snore. I was just teasing you." Xiaomai said with a smile.
"Then what are you doing here? Are you hungry? Let the servants do it! Is it hard?" He Lingting asked doubtfully.
"No, I made it for you. Just sit over there and I'll bring it to you." Xiaomai urged.
"Silly girl, why are you doing this for me? Have you forgotten that we have a dinner party tonight?" He Lingting reminded.
"I know. I saw that you have lost a lot of weight, so I wanted to give you some nourishment." Xiaomai said with a pout.
"Silly girl, your husband wants to be thinner and healthier. Don't come in and do these things anymore. Your husband feels bad for you." He Lingting turned Xiaomai's body around and said affectionately while looking into her eyes.
"It's okay, I'm not tired. I feel sorry for my husband too." Xiaomai muttered.
"Silly girl," He Lingting said helplessly while pinching Xiaomai's little face. At the same time, his heart was also wild. It was not bad to have a wife who loved him.
Then the two of them started feeding each other, and the kitchen was immediately filled with pink bubbles...
