Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 297

At the Mechanical Factory, He Jinxuan smelled the aroma of food as soon as he entered the yard.

The two little ones waiting at the kitchen door, upon seeing their uncle return, excitedly shouted into the kitchen: "Sister Xinyan, Uncle is back."

Xinyan just finished the last dish: "Then quickly have him wash his hands, we’re about to eat."

Before He Jinxuan could reach the kitchen, Ye Silai had already brought out water, and Ye Siyan, who was behind him, held a towel. The two said in unison: "Uncle, wash your hands."

Looking at the thoughtfulness of his two nephews, he felt a wave of emotion: "Thank you both."

Ye Siyan raised his little head: "Uncle, hurry and wash your hands, we’re about to eat."

Xinyan, who had just come out of the kitchen, laughed: "Touched in vain, weren’t you?"

After saying that, she laughed heartily.

Hearing Xinyan’s laughter, He Jinxuan, while washing his hands, said: "Just like you said, he’s a little foodie."

After taking the towel from the little one and wiping his hands, he lifted his hand and rubbed Ye Siyan’s little head.

For a moment, the yard was filled with laughter and pleas for mercy.

While the uncle and nephews were still playing in the yard, Xinyan and Ye Silai had already set the table: "Alright, if you don’t come now, we won’t wait."

Only then did the two stop, and Xinyan served a bowl of fish: "Silai, take this over to Grandma Xie for her to try."

Silai took it: "Okay."

He turned around and went next door with the bowl, and soon they heard Auntie Xie’s voice: "Oh dear, why did you bring it to this old woman again? Go back and thank your Sister Xinyan for me."

When Ye Silai returned, he also brought back a bowl of stewed green beans from the Xie Family, which Xinyan particularly loved.

On the table were a dish of stewed fish, garlic stir-fried crayfish, which was originally meant to be spicy, but they were afraid the two children couldn’t handle it, garlic eggplant, cold cucumber, plus the stewed green beans brought back by Ye Silai. Little Siyan was drooling, but he waited for everyone to sit down and for He Jinxuan to say dinner was ready before he started eating.

He Jinxuan first took a big piece of meat, picked out the fish bones, divided it into two portions, and put them in the bowls of his two nephews.

He then picked another big piece of meat, removed the bones, glanced at Xinyan, took a deep breath, and placed the fish in her bowl: "There are no fish bones, eat."

Seeing his demeanor, Xinyan’s lips curled into a smile. He Jinxuan might have a cold exterior but was attentive; from their interactions over this time, it was evident that he said little but did a lot.

She picked up a piece of fish and ate it, and then heard He Jinxuan announce: "I already got someone to buy the tickets for tomorrow afternoon’s train, so we won’t have to rush."

Xinyan smiled: "Great, thank you."

They finished the meal with laughter and chatter, and He Jinxuan, quite naturally, took over the dishwashing, with Xinyan helping from the side: "About the train tickets, do we pick them up at the station or can we get them in advance?"

He Jinxuan placed the washed dishes neatly: "Either one."

Hearing his answer, Xinyan said: "I have to go to the city this afternoon, I can pick them up in advance, it’ll save us some trouble tomorrow."

He Jinxuan thought for a moment: "That works."

He then gave her the person’s name, because the person he asked would be available this afternoon, but not tomorrow because his sister-in-law was getting engaged and he had to take a leave. He initially planned for He Jinxuan to find his colleague at that time, but given the circumstances, it was better to pick it up today.

After tidying up, seeing his two nephews playing with the Cheng Family’s youngest son on the street, he called out: "You two, take a break and come back for a nap later."

Hearing the two little ones respond from afar, he was reassured.

He turned around and called Xinyan into the room, then took out an iron box from the kang cabinet: "You keep this."
