Dad Xue came back to his senses and quickly retrieved the microphone.
"Ayuan! I'm listening! What are you going to discuss?"
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Dad, Ling Ling has always lost her appetite recently. She has lost a lot of weight and can't sleep well at night. I've been very worried recently. I'm going to prepare for the New Year in about twenty days. She is pregnant with her child
, I dare not take her to the imperial capital for a long distance, so I want to invite you to come and celebrate the New Year with us."
"This - no problem!" Dad Xue smiled and said, "We were planning to go to Rongcheng to celebrate the New Year with you! You can't run around when you are pregnant, so it's better to stay at home. As long as your mother and I have Xiao Ranran, we will be like every day.
It seems to be celebrating the New Year.”
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said warmly: "Thank you, dad and mom for being so considerate. If you want to travel to the South Island for a while, I will arrange for someone to take you there..."
"No hurry!" Xue Daddy said: "If you want to travel, you can go anytime. Now the most important thing is to take care of your baby."
Cheng Tianyuan echoed: "Yes, Ling Ling and I think so too. Dad, then we are waiting for you here. It is difficult to book the New Year air tickets, so you have to book your and mom's tickets in advance. When the day is set, call us.
I will go to the provincial capital to pick you up in advance."
"Okay!" Dad Xue smiled and said, "It's probably about the 26th and 7th day of the lunar calendar! I didn't plan to go too late this year, so I'll take a break for a while."
"That's great." Cheng Tianyuan said: "You guys come here earlier and can help take care of Xiao Ranran."
"Okay, okay!" Xue's father did not forget to remind: "Ling Ling was spoiled since childhood and grew up, and it is inevitable that she is more spoiled. If she is pregnant and feels uncomfortable, you have to take more responsibility with your parents."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Cheng Tianyuan quickly smiled: "She is pregnant, and everyone in her family almost treats her as a treasure. She is so hard that she is pregnant. We all feel sorry for her and can't share some of it. How can we?
I'm so embarrassed to blame her for being spoiled."
After hearing what the son-in-law said, Dad Xue finally felt relieved.
After all, it is my daughter who feels sorry for me, but my in-laws may not feel sorry for me. I can only say more words of apologies for my daughter.
As parents, I still hope that my children will be good.
After a few more instructions, Dad Xue hung up the phone.
...
Xue Ling slept for a long time and did not wake up until after four o'clock in the afternoon.
Cheng Tianyuan poured a cup of warm water for her to drink and coaxed her to move, but she couldn't bear to leave the bed and hid and refused to come out.
Seeing that her face was rosy, he couldn't bear to let it go when he saw that she refused.
"Then what do you want to eat?"
Xue Ling thought about it and couldn't help swallowing.
"I want to...eat apples."
Cheng Tianyuan was slightly stunned, and he didn't expect that such an answer would be.
He smiled docilely and shook his head, "The weather is too cold. You just woke up and your stomach is empty. How can you eat cold fruits all at once? You'd better eat a bowl of beef noodles!"
Xue Lingjiao hummed: "Who said my belly is empty? Is there your baby in my belly?"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and stroked her still flat belly with his big hand.
"It's our baby."
Xue Ling stuck out his tongue at him and hummed: "I want to eat sour and sweet apples! I want to eat them! Now, as long as I think of a little fat, I will have no appetite."
Cheng Tianyuan thought that she couldn't even eat char siu buns in the morning, so he didn't dare to force her.
"I bought a basket of big apples in the morning, but...why would you cook some porridge for you first and then eat apples?"
The doctor told her to eat more fruits, saying that there were fewer fruits in this weather and she could buy whatever she could. Seeing that the apples were big and red, he simply bought a small basket.
Xue Ling couldn't help asking: "Can you make apple cake?"
"How to make it?" This was the first time Cheng Tianyuan heard that apples could be made into pastries.
Xue Ling explained: "Western people eat apple pie, but we don't have such traditions. However, I've eaten horseshoe cake and corn cake made by southerners, and they are all delicious! Cut the fruit into small pieces, then add rice noodles and eggs
, make some sugar and fry it with low heat to make it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside the most delicious.”
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and said, "Then I'll try it."
Xue Ling laughed and held his arm.
"No, it seems to be quite troublesome to make. I just want to eat..."
"If you want to eat, I will make it." Cheng Tianyuan looked at her with a angrily look on her and asked back with a funny look: "What? I underestimate your husband can't make apple cake?"
"No!" Xue Ling snuggled beside him, "I don't want you to be too troublesome."
Cheng Tianyuan's intuition was melted and he kissed her pretty face.
"It's not a problem at all. I'll try it. If I can't do it, I'll do something else."
He pulled over the big cotton jacket and covered her shoulders.
"You go back to the bed and lie down, I'll go to the kitchen."
Xue Ling yawned, nodded obediently, and hid back.
Cheng Tianyuan cooks all year round and is very good at making things. Xue Ling seems to be troublesome, but it is not that difficult to make.
He sliced the apples into small pieces, quickly added flour, and beat two more eggs. Thinking that adding sugar would easily burn, he only put a little, and then stirred quickly.
He often makes pancakes, and after adding oil, he has great experience spreading them out. After one side is crispy, he quickly turns over until both sides are golden. He quickly picks up and hangs it in the corner to dry the oil.
After a while, one of them accidentally burned, and the others were considered very successful.
He cut the burnt piece and tried it for a small bite and found that the taste was pretty good. The masala was sour and sweet, with the egg and flour aroma, which tasted very good.
"Wife! Come and have apple pie!"
Xue Ling glanced at it and turned to smile.
"This is not an apple pie, it is obviously an apple pie!"
Xue Ling put on a cotton jacket and got out of bed, walked to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Cheng Tianyuan shouted outside: "Don't wash cold water, there is hot water in the kettle next to it, remember to mix it in some."
Xue Ling did what he said and quickly washed his hands and came out.
Pregnant people like to eat sour foods, while others like to have more flavors.
Xue Ling ate the sour apple cake and did not forget to give Cheng Tianyuan a thumbs up.
"Delicious! So delicious!"
When Cheng Tianyuan saw her eating happily, his eyebrows and eyes were full of doting smiles.
“Eat more if you taste good.”
She lost a lot of weight this time, and it was rare that she liked to eat, so she quickly advised her to eat more.
If she likes, he will make more for her to eat at night.
At this time, the phone in the living room rang!
Cheng Tianyuan walked out quickly, chatted for a while, turned around and came back.
"Ahu called him. He said that Sister Cuiliu's grandfather had come here and said that he would come here in person for helping him that night. He also brought the potato flour he made himself and some big potatoes he grew."
Xue Ling's eyes shining and shouted in surprise: "I-I want to eat pickled potato flour! The sour and sour ones! I also want to eat fried potatoes! Just cut the potatoes into small pieces and fry them until they are fragrant and crispy!
”
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay! I'll drive over now and all of them are here for you to eat!"
Xue Ling is not a person who likes to take advantage of it, and said, "You prepare a red envelope to take it over, saying it is for the elderly to celebrate the New Year. It is not easy for the elderly to grow some crops, so we can't take it in vain."
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan agreed again, "I will take my mother and Xiao Ranran back together. It's almost evening and it's going to get colder again."
These days are the great cold wave, and it is raining and snowing from time to time. Try not to go out if you can go out.
He wrapped himself in a military coat, prepared a red envelope and stuffed it into his inner bag, took another net bag into the kitchen and filled eight big apples, and hurried out.
