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

Chapter 830: Chapter 830: You Really Know How to Show Off and Be a Glutton at the Same Time

The two were almost done chatting when the little chubby Lin from next door came over to call his aunt: "Aunt, Grandma asked me to find you. She’s about to start cooking and asked if you still want to learn."

Upon hearing this, Xinyan was taken aback.

She didn’t expect Lin Kaixin was really learning to cook.

Meanwhile, Ye Liyan, who heard Lin Xiaopang’s words from the kitchen, chuckled: "I didn’t expect you to actually start learning. I’ll be looking forward to it."

Lin Kaixin rolled her eyes at Ye Liyan: "I’ll definitely be better than you."

Xinyan looked at their interaction and instantly thought these two had such a good couple’s vibe, a bit like a comedic pair.

However, she could only watch the situation unfold without interfering.

After Lin Kaixin left, Xinyan went into the kitchen.

Ye Liyan was quick with his actions; he had already cut and marinated the meat, and the fish was prepared as well, ready to start washing the vegetables.

Seeing that he had already put the rice on to simmer, Xinyan prepared to stew the fish first.

As the aroma of the food filled the kitchen, the two little ones who had gone out to show off dashed back: "Dad, Aunt, is the meal ready yet?"

Ye Liyan looked at his two sons, who were sweating profusely, and got up to get some water: "Where have you two been messing around? Anyone who didn’t know better would think you’d gone to do heavy labor."

He took a towel, tossed it into the basin, wrung it out, and wiped their faces.

The two little ones cooperated well, with Little Siyan grinning: "We ran all around the compound and then ran back."

Ye Liyan looked at his youngest son: "You really combine showing off and being a glutton, don’t you?"

The little guy didn’t care what his dad said: "I’ve been wanting to eat Aunt’s cooking for ages, so naturally I had to run faster."

Ye Silai wasn’t interested in bickering with his dad and went straight into the kitchen after washing up: "Aunt, can I help with anything?"

Xinyan saw his flushed face: "The kitchen is a bit hot right now. Why don’t you rest outside for a bit? The food will be ready soon."

But Ye Silai didn’t leave: "Then I’ll set the table."

Xinyan smiled at him: "Okay."

The meal was soon ready, and although the two little ones were hungry, they ate very gracefully.

It was clear that Ye Liyan had intentionally taught them table manners, which reminded Xinyan of what He Jinxuan had said before. Although it wasn’t detailed, she understood that Ye Liyan’s background was unusual.

While they were eating, little chubby Lin from next door, oh, whose full name was Lin Weidong, came in with a plate of steamed buns: "Uncle Ye, these are from my Grandma."

Ye Liyan stood up and couldn’t refuse since their neighbors often brought food over. Naturally, they would send over good things too.

He got up and brought a clean plate: "Thank your grandma for me."

Initially, he had thought of sharing some goji berries a friend had brought over, but it seemed too deliberate to give them directly, so he decided to let his son send them over later.

Little Lin Weidong accepted the empty plate and, without waiting for Ye Liyan to invite him to stay for dinner, loudly declared: "I’m going back to eat too."

He said this and ran off in a flash.

Xinyan looked at the plate of steamed buns, her mind filled with various guesses, and nonchalantly remarked: "This Auntie Lin is really good to you all."

Ye Liyan picked up the plate with the steamed buns: "Aunt Lin is quite the cook. Would you like to try some?"

Xinyan waved her hand: "No need, they do look good. You save them for dinner, otherwise, you might end up with leftovers."

Ye Liyan thought so too, and continued eating his meal.

He then remembered something and said to Xinyan: "The other day, a friend brought some goji berries over. Take some with you when you leave. You can use them for tea or cooking."

Although Xinyan had some growing in her space, she didn’t refuse: "Sure, I won’t be polite then."

Seeing Xinyan agree, Ye Liyan turned to his eldest son and said: "Later, take some to Grandma Lin."

Little Siyan looked over at this moment: "Dad, why didn’t you let Brother Xiaopang take them back earlier?"

Ye Liyan thought that although they were young, it was no harm teaching them some social etiquette: "It’s more sincere if you bring them over, and besides, you saw that Weidong was eager to get back to eat too. We wouldn’t want his family to wait too long, right?"
