Chapter 1533: Chapter 1533
"Madam, although it’s cold in winter, it becomes terribly hot when summer arrives. One can’t help but wish to use the ice blocks from winter in the summer!" Every summer is so hot that one sweats all over, and Donglin’s Jincheng is even hotter than this small town. Aunt Bao came from Prince Rui Residence in Jincheng, where it feels like being roasted by fire every early morning and evening every year.
Su Yunjin had a sudden inspiration.
It was winter now, a perfect opportunity to store ice blocks. This place is ancient, unlike modern times, where there’s air conditioning and refrigerators, so there’s no need to store ice blocks from winter.
In ancient times, there was nothing, and Su Yunjin had once seen in a book that people in ancient times had dug ice cellars to store ice blocks, which could be used to cool down during summer.
Placing a few large ice blocks inside the house could lower the temperature. Besides using them to cool down the house, the ice blocks could also be used to make chilled fruit juices and the like. With this thought, Su Yunjin immediately decided to discuss digging an ice cellar with Gu Ya once he returned.
Right now she was in confinement and it was inconvenient for her to go out, so the task of digging the ice cellar and storing ice blocks had to be entrusted to Gu Ya. It was almost noon now, and Gu Ya would only be busy for half a day at Zuixiang Restaurant every day. The other half of the day, Gu Ya would mostly spend at home with her and their two children.
According to the time, Gu Ya should be back soon to join her for lunch.
"Aunt Bao, could you go to the kitchen and see if the lunch is all prepared? If it’s all ready, please bring it over!" Su Yunjin wanted to have the meals ready so that she could eat with Gu Ya as soon as he returned.
Aunt Bao nodded in response, "Madam, I’ll go check in the kitchen right now." Today, Aunt Liang and Aunt An were cooking, and Aunt Liang’s culinary skills were the best among them. Su Yunjin also preferred the meals cooked by Aunt Liang, therefore, Aunt Liang was almost always the one cooking every day.
After instructing Aunt Bao, Su Yunjin turned around and unexpectedly found that Little Tiangua, unknowingly when, had grabbed her brother Little Yuanbao’s chubby hand and was sucking on it eagerly, covering Little Yuanbao’s chubby hand with saliva.
Seeing this scene, Su Yunjin laughed and hurriedly took Little Yuanbao’s hand out of Little Tiangua’s mouth. Deprived of her ’snack’, Little Tiangua immediately started crying, her mouth twitching pitifully.
Su Yunjin couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.
She pinched Little Tiangua’s chubby cheek and said, "Good girl, you were just eating your brother’s hand, but you can’t eat his hand." Little Tiangua only knew her food was gone and continued to cry loudly.
When Gu Ya came back, he saw Little Tiangua crying and smiling went up to ask what happened? Su Yunjin told Gu Ya that Little Tiangua was eating Little Yuanbao’s hand, and also told him that with Little Tiangua eating her brother’s hand at such a young age, she would surely be a little glutton in the future. Upon hearing this, Gu Ya not only didn’t scold Little Tiangua for eating her brother’s hand but laughed and said, "Yunjin, Little Tiangua takes after you."
"What? Takes after me?"
Su Yunjin disagreed with what Gu Ya said, retorting, "I’m not as gluttonous as your daughter."
"Is that so?" Gu Ya looked at his little wife with a playful smile in his eyes, not explicitly agreeing or disagreeing with her words. In Gu Ya’s view, his little wife, apart from being a money-lover, was indeed a glutton.
Gu Ya obviously didn’t believe her, and Su Yunjin snorted, asking him, "Tell me, when have I been greedy for food?" Su Yunjin didn’t think she was gluttonous at all; it was clearly Little Tiangua who was the glutton, so how did it turn out to be her too?
Gu Ya didn’t argue with his little wife on this issue any further. Seeing that Aunt Liang and others had arranged the meals, Gu Ya stood up and said, "Yunjin, let me bring over the meals, let’s eat."
"My dear, wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you." Just when they were talking about eating, Su Yunjin suddenly remembered the important matter.
