The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 1056 - Chapter 1056 Chapter 1056 Heartwarming

Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Heartwarming Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Heartwarming Gu Chengxiang went to accompany Mrs. An.

Obviously, Gu Ya then came to accompany his little wife.

Su Yunjin had picked some vegetables and, without taking a basket, directed Gu Ya to fetch one. Seeing that his wife didn’t have many vegetables in her hand, Gu Ya said they didn’t need a basket.

“Yunjin, give me the vegetables, and I’ll take them to mother and the others.” Su Yunjin and Gu Ya were now living in Gu Family’s village, where they could pick fresh vegetables every day.

Unlike before when they lived in town, they would inconveniently come back once and pick more to take back. Now that they could eat fresh every day, Su Yunjin naturally chose to come and pick vegetables temporarily each time they needed to cook.

Today, Su Yunjin was only going to pick some vegetable leaves for soup at noon; indeed, a basket wasn’t necessary. Listening to Gu Ya, Su Yunjin thought about it and then gave him the vegetables she was holding.

Gu Ya took the vegetables and headed to the kitchen to deliver them to Mrs. An, who was cooking inside. Su Yunjin followed him to the kitchen and saw her mother-in-law cooking, while her father-in-law was making a fire under the stove.

Seeing this scene, Su Yunjin suddenly felt it was quite heartwarming. Mrs. An and Gu Chengxiang, married for decades, were now old but still cooking and keeping each other company–it was indeed a blessing.

At noon, Su Yunjin and Gu Ya had a simple meal cooked by Mrs. An. Mrs. An wasn’t very skilled at cooking, and after Gu Ya and Gu Chengxiang had fallen down the mountain a year ago, the Gu family had gone through more than a year of hard times. Mrs. An had grown accustomed to being frugal, sparingly using oil and salt, which resulted in the dishes at noon having hardly any oily taste.

All the dishes were dry and shriveled.

Su Yunjin wasn’t very picky about food, but her mother-in-law’s cooking, lacking salt and oil, was too hard to eat, especially since Su Yunjin was now pregnant.

The fish and meat prepared by Mrs. Chu still had an unremoved fishy taste, and Su Yunjin vomited the moment she began to eat. Gu Ya patted his wife’s back and poured water for her. After vomiting and rinsing her mouth, Yunjin dared not try the dishes again and just ate some plain rice and green vegetable soup, which she could barely stomach.

In the afternoon Su Yunjin didn’t eat much, and Gu Ya noticed it all. After dining at Su Yunjin’s house, Gu Chengxiang and Mrs. An, along with a few kids, returned to their old house.

Knowing his little wife hadn’t eaten well at noon, Gu Ya suggested going to the kitchen to cook her an egg custard, “Yunjin, you ate too little at noon. I’ll go steam a bowl of eggs for you.”

Su Yunjin suddenly craved tomato soup noodles, a dish she could only make taste good herself. She decided not to have Gu Ya steam the egg custard but instead planned to cook herself a bowl of tomato soup noodles.

“Husband, I am going to cook half a pot of noodles. Please go and pick a couple of tomatoes for me.” They were out of tomatoes at home, and they needed to be picked from the field. Su Yunjin sent Gu Ya to fetch the tomatoes.

She then busied herself in the kitchen. The food Mrs. An cooked today hadn’t tasted good, and Su Yunjin could tell that Gu Ya also hadn’t enjoyed it. She guessed he probably hadn’t eaten his fill either.

She cooked another pot of tomato noodles, half a pot, one bowl each for her and her husband. Su Yunjin busied herself in the kitchen washing and cooking the noodles.

It didn’t take long for Gu Ya to return from the field with tomatoes, two big, ripe red ones. After washing the tomatoes clean, Yunjin expertly chopped them and set them aside. Once the noodles were done, she added the tomatoes to the pot.

Soon, a fragrant half-pot of tomato noodles was ready.

She first served a bowl to Gu Ya.

Finally, Su Yunjin served herself.

Only after having an extra bowl of noodles did the couple feel truly full.
