Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

Chapter 154 - 154 Impatience

154 Impatience

Xiaoguo was woken up by Jiang Danhe because it was lunchtime.

She got up and stretched her back. She felt like she had a very comfortable sleep. “By the way, how did I fall asleep just now?”

It seemed that her waist was feeling uncomfortable earlier. She laid on the bed and massaged her waist. Then Jiang Danhe came in immediately after. He was massaging her and she fell asleep because it was too comfortable…

Xiaoguo felt a little awkward. She was really quite thick skinned.

“Are you awake?”

Jiang Danhe came in from outside. He felt that it was about time and Xiaoguo should be awake by now. Lunch was almost ready, so he came over to inform her.

Xiaoguo nodded, feeling rather embarrassed.

Jiang Danhe didn’t say anything. The two of them went to the dining hall together. On the way, they bumped into Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi, who had just finished writing. The two of them were being brought to the dining hall by Li Shouji.

The five of them headed to the dining hall together. Along the way, Zhuang Zhuang couldn’t help but feel happy. He kept telling Xiaoguo how many poems he had just copied and that he had learnt new scriptures.

“Oh? Have you been reading and writing in the study all morning?”

Xiaoguo was wondering why she had not seen the two children all morning. It turned out that they were studying in the study.

“That’s right. Wen Xiaoyi and I have written a lot of words,” Zhuang Zhuang said. He even tried to get an affirmation from Wen Xiaoyi, “You can ask him.”

When Xiaoyi heard his name, he nodded happily. Zhuang Zhuang looked at Xiaoguo and said proudly, “Mother, I’ll give you two poems which I had copied out later.”

When Xiaoguo heard this, she was overjoyed. “That’s great. I’ll find a scroll and hang it up when I receive it.”

Before Zhuang Zhuang could say anything, Xiaoyi carefully said, “I’ll give you one too. Oh, no, how about I give you two?”

Xiaoyi was actually feeling very uneasy. Zhuang Zhuang was Xiaoguo’s son. It was only right for her to ask for his handwriting. Then what was he to her? Why would she want his handwriting? Forget it…

“Or maybe…” Forget it…

“Okay! That’s great. I’ll hang it up too.”

Xiaoguo nodded and immediately said. When the time comes, she will get a few more scrolls and hang their writings at home.

Xiaoyi looked at Xiaoguo, who was smiling, and felt like crying. It was really awesome…

At this moment, Zhuang Zhuang reached out to hold Xiaoyi’s hand and raised an eyebrow at him. “How is it? Mother is very good, right?”

Xiaoyi understood what Zhuang Zhuang was trying to say, so he nodded his head slightly. He was afraid of attracting the attention of others, so he blinked at Zhuang Zhuang. “Yes, yes! Mother is so nice!”

Li Shouji narrowed his eyes and strode to the front. He deliberately bumped into Jiang Danhe’s shoulder. When the man looked at him, he immediately started winking.

Their exchange read as follows:

Li Shouji: Didn’t you say that you were going to teach the children to read and write this morning? Why did you run away halfway?

Jiang Danhe: …

Li Shouji: “Why did you go out? Why did Zhuang Zhuang go out too? In the end, you guys came back together.”

Jiang Danhe: …

Li Shouji: Say something. I know you can read my thoughts…

Jiang Danhe: “…”

Li Shouji: Okay! Okay! As long as you don’t say anything, it’s fine. Why do you let me babysit every time you have plans up your sleeve? Have I really become a nanny? (Sticking chest out)

Jiang Danhe: (Scanning up and down and finally his eyes landed on the other person’s chest)

Li Shouji: (Surprised and panicked)?? What are you looking at? I have warned you about your roaming eyes!

Jiang Danhe: The other party has blocked your messages…

–

Jiang Danhe retracted his gaze and turned to look in Xiaoguo’s direction. His eyes had seen something terrible, and now he was cleansing them.

Xiaoguo looked at Jiang Danhe, who was smiling at her, and felt strange. “What’s up?”

“It’s nothing.”

Xiaoguo glanced at him strangely and did not look at him again. Instead, she lowered her head and continued listening to Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi fighting to recite poems for her.

Li Shouji was furious, but he had no choice, and he came to the dining table with resentment.

As soon as he sat down, he started sniffing the food on the table like a puppy.

“What are you doing? You’re disgusting.”

Jiang Danhe slapped his forehead gently and said in disdain.

Li Shouji rubbed his forehead and didn’t mind. He asked everyone with a curious expression, “Do you smell something in the air? It’s a very wonderful fragrance.”

When everyone heard this, they started sniffing and tried to detect the fragrance he was describing.

“That’s right. There is indeed a fragrance. The food smells good.”

Jiang Danhe glanced at Li Shouji from the corner of his eye and pointed at the food on the table. This man was acting up again. There were so many dishes on the table. How could they not smell good?

When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but roll their eyes at the serious-looking Li Shouji. To think that everyone was actually trying to figure out the source of the fragrance.

“No, no,” Li Shouji hurriedly explained. “At first, I thought it was the dishes on the table, but I am sure now that it didn’t come from the table. Take a closer sniff.”

Li Shouji was already mesmerized by the smell when he was in the study earlier. At first, he thought that it was lunch. As soon as he arrived at the hall, he could not wait to see what the smell was. But then, he could not find the source after sniffing around, even though the fragrance was still in the air.

When everyone heard this, they sniffed the air again suspiciously. Jiang Danhe frowned. There was indeed a special fragrance.

The more Zhuang Zhuang smelled it, the more familiar it became. A thought flashed across his mind. “Ah! I know! Isn’t this the bone soup that my mother always makes!”

Zhuang Zhuang often drank Xiaoguo’s soup, so he recognized the smell.

“What?”

Li Shouji was surprised. “How does bone soup smell so good!”

Jiang Danhe was also very surprised. He didn’t expect his wife to be so good at cooking. To think that an ordinary bone soup could actually produce such a rich fragrance. It smells really appetizing.

Xiaoguo understood what it was about when Zhuang Zhuang mentioned it. “Oh, right. I’m making bone soup in the kitchen. This is for the potato noodles which we will be having for dinner.”

Zhuang Zhuang was already describing the taste of the potato noodles to Xiaoyi. The two children were so hungry that they were almost drooling. They just couldn’t wait to taste the noodles.

“Okay, okay. I’ll go make it after lunch.”

Xiaoguo spoke dotingly as she tried to quickly finish her food.

The group ate the food on the table as if they were chewing wax. It wasn’t because the food was bad, in fact, the spread was sumptuous. However, after they had smelled the fragrance in the air and heard Zhuang Zhuang’s description, everyone was dying to taste the noodles.

Xiaoguo had just finished eating when Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi rushed her to the kitchen. Although the other two adults did not say anything, their eyes revealed their true thoughts. They were wishing for her to hurry to the kitchen.

Xiaoguo had no choice but to go straight to the kitchen. “These brats!”

“Madam, you’re finally here. Just now, the others were asking us what delicious food we were making. When they heard that it was for dinner, their faces turned green. Haha…”

When the fat chef saw Xiaoguo, she quickly described to her how the soldiers had behaved when they came to get food. She was smiling as she spoke.

“That’s right. They were so impatient. When they came over to pick up their lunch at noon, their eyes were glued to the pot!”

The older female cook chimed in and even imitated the soldiers in front of Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo was so amused by the two of them that she couldn’t stop smiling. These people were so fun.
