Chapter 431 Space Supplies Can Last for Ten Lifetimes
When Ouyang, disheartened, entered the ward and saw that there were no inconveniences, he invited Zi Yisheng in. Chen Tangtang was happily drinking soup, and as soon as she saw Zi Yisheng, she sat up even straighter.
Ye Shenge felt like laughing seeing this. Chen Tangtang seemed to be very, very afraid of Zi Yisheng, even though Zi Yisheng had been very amiable.
"Come and see the little chubby, he seems to have changed overnight."
Zi Yisheng smiled and held his wife's extended hand, standing by another empty bed and looking at the baby in the swaddle. He was wrinkled, ugly, and dirty. Zi Yisheng felt a little disdainful, thinking that if his wife gave birth, the child wouldn't be so ugly, as he and his wife were much better looking than Ouyang and his wife.
"Isn't he very cute? Touch his little hands, they're so tiny."
Xia Hong smiled and pulled out the little chubby's hand. Ye Shenge quickly reached out to touch it. The little guy softly grabbed one of Ye Shenge's fingers, making Ye Shenge's eyes crinkle with joy.
Zi Yisheng bent down to look at his wife and the little chubby's interaction and unconsciously extended his hand, gently touching the little chubby's cheek with his little finger. But with just this touch, the little chubby frowned, which completely stumped Zi Yisheng. He quickly took a step back, reaffirming in his heart that children were generally disliked.
It took less than twenty seconds for the little chubby to go from frowning to wailing loudly. Ye Shenge tried to comfort him, patting him, but it was no use.
"He might have peed, let me check."
Xia Hong skillfully lifted the swaddle, reached in, and laughed as she scolded.
"So he pooped. This little brat is just like his dad when he was little, eats and poops."
As Xia Hong spoke, she lifted the little chubby's legs. The diaper was lifted, and a strong stench swept through the room. Ye Shenge moved aside, Chen Tangtang continued eating her meal, Ouyang watched from the side, and as for Zi Yisheng, he had already stood by the door and opened it halfway.
Ye Shenge pushed him out with a smile, actually looking forward to whether Zi Yisheng would still hide so far away when they had their own child in the future.
Chen Tangtang was recovering very well. The doctor said she could be discharged at any time, but Ouyang insisted on keeping her for three full days. In this era, doctors had never seen a man who doted on his wife so much.
Ye Shenge didn't go to the hospital to see the little chubby on the third day because Zi Yisheng had something to do in Xishan, and he also disagreed with Ye Shenge acting alone.
Ye Shenge stood in the courtyard looking at the new house. Although she had been there many times, she had never carefully observed it before. Now, she wanted to reorganize every place to her satisfaction.
First, the bedroom. Ye Shenge took all the clothes out of the wardrobe again, sorted by season and area. Perhaps because Ye Shenge's wardrobe was larger and bigger before, she now couldn't stand all the clothes piled together, having to search for a long time to find what she wanted.
Ye Shenge sat on the bed folding clothes, feeling like a housewife. Her future life would have to be managed differently.
"Shenge, are you home?"
Hearing her mother's voice, Ye Shenge quickly ran out.
"Mom, why didn't you come straight into the courtyard? I didn't close the door."
"Do you think your mom is as impolite as others? You're married now, so even as your mom, I can't barge in as I please."
Ye Shenge nodded. In her previous life, she still had to knock before entering her parents' room. She might have been assimilated by the living habits of the countryside quite a bit.
"We're out of eggs at home. I'll take you to exchange for some eggs together. You have to live your own life from now on, and you can't even not know where to exchange for eggs."
Ye Shenge patiently listened to her mother's teachings. She had really worried too little before. At home, she would just bury her head in books and study medicinal materials, never participating in household chores.
"Okay, I'll get the money and the basket."
"Do you want to buy some more vegetables? We don't grow vegetables at home either; I always exchange for them."
"Let's exchange, let's exchange everything. Today I'll learn properly."
Ye's mother smiled with satisfaction. Along the way, she imparted a lot of experience to her daughter. She wanted her daughter to have a happy and harmonious married life, so she had to pass on her decades of wisdom to her daughter.
The two of them came to the old village chief's house. Wang Fengling saw Ye Shenge and began to "inquire with great concern," fearing that Zi Yisheng, who had just married, might be careless and accidentally hurt someone.
Ye Shenge was eventually asked until her face was flushed and her neck was red. Ye's mother laughed from the side. There were some things she really couldn't bring herself to ask her daughter, but now someone was doing it for her.
Ye Shenge wiped the sweat from her forehead, realizing the extent of an older woman's unrestrained speech.
"You want eggs and vegetables? Come on, I'll take you. I guarantee the eggs are fresh and the vegetables are tender and juicy."
After walking around, Ye Shenge knew which family to buy eggs from and which family had good vegetables. However, she also clearly realized that she had severe social anxiety, and it was a newly acquired illness.
Ye's mother, acting like a bystander, just watched the show. This was also her first lesson for her daughter. In Ye's mother's heart, her daughter was too much of a homebody.
When Ye Shenge returned home, she locked the courtyard gate. She refused to let her mother visit her house again today, wanting only to calm her mind and increase her thick skin's tolerance a bit more.
Ye Shenge planned to cook a packet of Luosifen for lunch. It was a rare opportunity to eat it. She hadn't had a chance to eat such a suspicious food at her parents' home before.
Ye Shenge looked at the instructions on the back of the packaging. It was a completely mindless operation. Soon, a bowl of Luosifen, with no hint of a foul smell, was ready.
This explained why people who liked the smell of Luosifen didn't smell anything foul. The first time Ye Shenge ate Luosifen in her previous life, she had to bribe a nurse to secretly buy it for her, and she ate it in the nurse's office without leaving a drop of soup.
Ye Shenge took the bowl to the courtyard, fearing that the smell would linger in the room after Zi Yisheng returned, so she chose to eat outdoors.
As the first sip of soup touched her lips, Ye Shenge's eyes closed happily. With a mouthful of noodles, she even swayed her body with satisfaction.
"You don't even call me when you're sneaking food."
"Pfft, cough cough cough."
Ye Shenge was so startled by the sudden voice that she almost choked to death. She looked up and glared at the person sitting on the wall.
"If you want to eat, can't you just knock on the door? Would I be short of your food?"
Ye Mu'en smiled and jumped down from the courtyard wall, grabbing the bowl and chopsticks in front of his sister and started eating.
"I haven't eaten it in a long time either. We have everything, but we just don't have the chance to eat it. It's quite pathetic, isn't it?"
Ye Shenge glared at her elder brother good-naturedly, but she also felt sorry for him. They had transmigrated, and they had tasted many, many delicacies. Now, with a space full of them, they had no chance to eat them, which was quite pathetic.
"Do you want me to get you some more delicious food?"
"Mmm, get me a family bucket. I'm really craving it."
Ye Shenge licked her lips, flung out a family bucket, and rushed into the kitchen. She needed to make another bowl of Luosifen quickly.
It was half an hour later when the brother and sister had finished clearing the table. There were many more food containers on the table.
"I feel like my inventory can last me ten lifetimes and still not be finished."
Ye Mu'en drank the last sip of cola and let out a burp ungracefully.
"It can't be helped, who told us that these things can't be explained? We can only do it in secret. A few days ago, Dad even wanted to eat grilled lamb kidneys."
"Why don't you call Dad now and let him sneak a bite too?"
Ye Mu'en shook his head and abandoning his father ungratefully.
"He's working in the field. It wouldn't look good if he sneaked back. There will be more opportunities in the future. As long as Zi Yisheng isn't home, we can come to your place to sneak food."
"Why do I suddenly feel that Zi Yisheng is so pitiful, always excluded?"
Ye Shenge pouted, but her words were not heartfelt.
"Heh, who told him he wasn't part of our past life?"
After eating his fill, Ye Mu'en naturally stayed to help with the chores. He was directed by Ye Shenge to move things around the entire afternoon, wishing she could move everything in the house.
"It's not worth it to just eat this one meal. I'll come again tomorrow."
Ye Shenge smiled and saw her brother off, then began to prepare dinner. Although she only knew how to cook noodles, she could make a super luxurious "qiangguo mian" (stir-fried noodles).
Ye Shenge took out a handful of shredded meat from the space and marinated it with seasoning. Ye's mother, fearing that she wouldn't know how to cut meat, had processed a lot of raw meat into slices and shreds.
She started cutting some abalone slices, grabbed a handful of rehydrated dried scallops and pinched them into shreds, and cut some wood ear mushroom shreds. In no time, there was a full plate of toppings.
Don't ask where the ingredients came from. Just assume they came from her parents' home.
The noodles couldn't be made in advance, so Ye Shenge stood at the door looking down at the foot of the mountain. She truly had the potential of a good wife and mother.
When she saw a familiar figure, Ye Shenge immediately returned to the kitchen, poured oil, sautéed ginger and garlic, stir-fried the shredded meat and abalone, then poured in hot water. When the water boiled, she threw all the prepared toppings into it.
She took out another handful of dried noodles, threw in what she felt was an appropriate amount, stirred it around, and it was quickly cooked.
When Zi Yisheng walked into the courtyard, he smelled a very fragrant aroma. Seeing the little woman busy in the kitchen, his heart melted.
"Why didn't you wait for me to come back and cook? Are you tired? Look how red your face is from the heat. Hurry out, I'll finish the rest."
Zi Yisheng's barrage of questions made Ye Shenge leave the kitchen. Only after Ye Shenge sat in the courtyard did she realize that he had already started working.
"I just need to adjust the seasoning. Taste it and see if anything is missing."
"Alright, I promise not to ruin your hard work."
Ye Shenge was indeed hot. Although it was still winter, the temperature was nearly twenty degrees Celsius. Spending a little time in the kitchen would make her hot.
She washed her face, returned to the room, and applied a bit of face cream before hearing someone call for dinner.
When Ye Shenge saw the noodles on the table, she was very satisfied. She had to admit that just looking at them, they were absolutely perfect in color, aroma, and taste.
To wait for Zi Yisheng's feedback on the first bite, Ye Shenge stared at him intently.
Zi Yisheng suppressed a smile and quickly took a sip of the soup.
"It's fresh, and it's excellent."
Then he took a mouthful of noodles and gave a thumbs-up.
"Wife, did you secretly ask Uncle Gong to teach you how to cook? This is definitely not the skill of someone making qiangguo mian for the first time."
Ye Shenge was proud. She felt she had a natural talent. Smiling, she tasted the soup. It was indeed very fresh. But Ye Shenge completely forgot that the seasoning for the noodles was done by her man, and now she was taking all the credit.
When Ye Shenge tasted the noodles, she regained her reason. The noodles and vegetables had lost their required al dente texture. It was obvious they had been cooked for too long.
"You're lying. The noodles are all mushy."
"I'm not lying, it's really very good, and this is my limit. I guess we both have talent, and you're the best!"
Their meal ended with comforting words and self-denial. The remaining chores would, as usual, be left for Ye Shenge to do.
Ye Shenge could only take some fruit from the space and put it in the courtyard. Later, they could watch the stars and chat.
Zi Yisheng tidied up and saw his wife's preparations, but he didn't want to. He just wanted to take a bath and get into bed to cultivate their relationship. Chatting was a waste of life.
"Wife, why do I smell so much oil smoke on you? Do you want to take a bath first!"
Ye Shenge thought about how busy she had been all day. It would indeed be more comfortable to take a bath first.
"Old rules, I'm going into the room."
"No problem, wife, take your time washing up."
Zi Yisheng watched his wife return to the room and then hummed a little tune as he went to the kitchen to get hot water. He also wanted to be fragrant and use the shampoo his wife personally made.
When Ye Shenge came out of the space, she saw Zi Yisheng leaning against the head of the bed, his upper body bare, his muscles appearing particularly prominent.
Ye Shenge liked her husband's physique. She didn't like men who looked thin in clothes but muscular in them, nor those who were as thin as little chicks. Her husband was just right.
Zi Yisheng saw her and quickly pulled her into his arms, massaging her with one hand.
"I see you've worked a lot today, practically reorganizing the whole house. Let me give you a good massage. You've worked hard, my dear wife."
Ye Shenge closed her eyes and enjoyed it, letting Zi Yisheng do as he pleased.
Soon, Zi Yisheng was sweating profusely, while Ye Shenge was so comfortable she was almost asleep. Zi Yisheng knew he couldn't wait any longer. He put her on the bed and pounced.
Another night of ups and downs passed. Ye Shenge woke up at noon, and Zi Yisheng hadn't left. He once again began the work of wiping her face and feeding her.
Ye Shenge leaned against the head of the bed, her body weak. With each bite of food, she glared at the wolf-like man.
"Alright, your glaring will make your eyes hurt."
"Can't you exercise some restraint? Be careful, the people next door might secretly take care of you."
Zi Yisheng was unconcerned and provocatively raised his chin.
"I can't even dote on my own wife? I have people next door too. I'll have Asen find a wife for your elder brother, let him taste the wonderful flavor, and he won't cause trouble."
Ye Shenge was amused to the point of laughter. This man had no reservations after getting married; his words were so direct. Her eyes darted, and Ye Shenge smiled mischievously. He wanted to be thicker-skinned, did he?
"Then if you're this frequent, aren't you afraid I'll get pregnant?"
Zi Yisheng was stunned. He really hadn't thought of that.
"Will I get pregnant then?"
He didn't want his few days of alone time to be ruined by a little brat.
"Yes, definitely."
"Then what do we do? Can it be remedied?"
