Chapter 219 - Still Capable

Chapter 219 - Still Capable

Su Wan naturally cooked everything that she have decided on, and with Lin Yan's help, the work was finished quickly. Soon various dishes with tantalising scents were placed on the table, each and every single dish seemed to be singing like a siren and attracted everyone's attention right on them. Father Lin looked at the table full of food and then remarked in embarrassment " Wan Wan you didn't have to cook so many dishes at once. What's the point of cooking so many good dishes at such a time, you should save the grains as we don't know how long this disaster will last. Why waste these good dishes on us? I and the kids would have been satisfied with just porridge "

Mother Lin, who was serving the food looked at her husband who had become so thin that his face have started to resemble a shrunken mango and immediately felt a wave of melancholy wash over her as she served another serving of boiled shrimps to her husband " what are you talking about? Just take a good look at your weak profile before you speak. You should eat more and don't worry about the grains at all, with our capable sons do you still need to worry about grains? Just focus on nourishing your body instead of worrying about such things "

Su Wan immediately grasped this opportunity to support her mother in law and explained " father in law don't worry about grains right now. Just prep your stomach with the porridge and leave everything on us as your daughter in law it's my duty to be filial to you. However, you and my little siblings can't eat something greasy and oily right now or else your stomach won't be able to withstand it. So I only cooked some light dishes once your stomachs are healthy again I will cook something even better for you to eat ."

Su Wan was a little resistant towards Father Lin because of her experience but she still spoke cordially on the surface. She knew that Father Lin was an important person to her husbands thus even though her past's traumatic events made her want to keep Father Lin at bay, she still gritted her teeth and tried her best to get along with her father in law. She didn't want to create unwanted strife in the family just because of her personal feelings, since Father Lin was her husbands 's father she will definitely be nice towards him.

" That's right father, " said Lin Yan as he gave both Qi Mei and Qi Zhi half a bowl of minced meat porridge " you shouldn't worry about our family finishing up the stock of grains, even if we are not that rich our family's earning is more or less stable. We can still afford to buy grains in this situation "

Qi Zhi took a mouthful sip from the warm and fragrant rice porridge. He kept alternating between porridge and the fat meat of eels, to him who has been living on nothing but watery porridge for months, this meal was nothing less than extraordinary. Marvelling at the deliciousness of the dishes, he heaved a contented sigh with his eyes closed as he exclaimed " Sister in law,? third brother wasn't wrong. Your culinary skills are something out of this world, even this porridge is really good "

Lin Chen who was preoccupied with munching on the fat eels looked up and grinned at Qi Zhi. With a pleased expression, he chuckled" see, Didn't I say that if you don't taste the culinary skills of your sister in law then you have tasted nothing in your life? My wife's cooking is the best in the village - no one can match up to her "

Su Wan who had just taken a sip of the thick porridge to warm her stomach, immediately felt her lips twitch. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Lin Chen's praise, of course, she was happy that her husband was praising her but at the same time she couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed at his blatant praise . It was one thing to be lovey dovey alone but in front of her in laws , it was a bit embarrassing .

However, neither father Lin or mother Lin said anything . Their family finished their dinner and Su Wan left the task of collecting and washing the dirty dishes to Lin Jing and Lin Yu. Lin Rui who have played around for the entire day went back to his room to make up for the ' fun' he had in the alley . As for Su Wan she went back to the kitchen , as she needed to cook something nourishing to replenish Qi Shuyan 's weak body.

The young boy had quickly fallen asleep after taking his medication .With his illness he couldn't eat the dishes that she cooked for others , in the end she sent Lin Chen to buy a fat hen from Fang Xiaolin 's family . Luckily ,the Feng brothers were just returning back home after selling the eggs in the town , thus Lin Chen was able to buy a fat hen .

Lin Jing plucked? the feathers of hen before cleaning it . Once the hen was cleaned , Su Wan took it back to the kitchen and started cooking the chicken porridge . The delicious scent of chicken porridge wafted all over the courtyard , tempting Little Qi Zhi who had just finished eating his fill . The little boy swallowed his saliva , trying to control his greedy paws as his eyes wandered back to the kitchen where Su Wan was stirring the porridge .

Qi Shuyan who was fast asleep too woke up after his stomach started grumbling because of the tantalising smell . Thus , the second he woke up a bowl of chicken porridge was placed right in front of him . The pearly white rice grains have been cooked until they became translucent and melted into a thick and shiny? porridge . Boiled chicken was shredded until it completely dotted the glistening rice grains and the entire thing was garnished with thinly chopped green onions? . The whole bowl looked really appetising and with its delicious scent wafting around with its whirling steam , roused even the appetite of someone who? have already eaten their fill .

Father Lin embarrassingly swallowed his saliva that has flooded his mouth before he scooped up a portion of the porridge and blew on the spoon before feeding the weak Qi Shuyan . The little boy was little introverted and he hardly trusted anyone coupled with his experience that he went through at such a young age . Except Father Lin , only Lin Yan was accepted by him - most probably because Lin Yan was the one who picked him up and ran all the way to the medical hall .. However , Lin Yan was currently busy with calculating the expenses of the restaurant thus only Father Lin could feed Qi Shuyan .
