Chapter 562: The Hot-tempered Young Wife Captures the Warm-hearted and Handsome Factory Director 10
In the kitchen, the rhythmic "dong dong" sound of minced meat rang out. Pei Jingping heard this and walked into the kitchen involuntarily. He saw Lin Yizheng standing at the chopping board, the knife in her hand rising and falling, concentrating on processing the pile of fresh minced meat.
Pei Jingping looked at Lin Yi's slightly thin figure, and an urge to help surged in his heart. He blurted out: "Let me do it!" Before he finished speaking, his hand had already steadily taken the kitchen knife from Lin Yi's hand.
Lin Yi was slightly startled and looked up at Pei Jingping. This tall and straight man, standing beside her, made her feel inexplicably at ease.
Lin Yi was naturally happy to have someone volunteer to do the hard labor. So, she turned aside and started kneading the dough.
While Lin Yi was kneading the dough, Pei Jingping was still diligently chopping the meat. She looked at his sturdy and broad back, and an inexplicable sense of reliability arose spontaneously.
Pei Jingping wasn't the skinny, pretty type. Lin Yi estimated he was definitely over 180cm tall. He was wearing a gray shirt, and beneath the tight fabric, the lines of his muscles were faintly visible. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his tanned skin. With every rise and fall of the kitchen knife, his muscles pulsed with strength.
Lin Yi couldn't help but think to herself, if this were modern times, Pei Jingping would definitely be a walking hormone. Somehow, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind: having a child with him wouldn't be bad either!
Just as Lin Yi was lost in thought, Pei Jingping seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around and asked, "The meat filling is ready. What else do you need to do?"
But when he met Lin Yi's slightly infatuated eyes, they both became uncomfortable. The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.
To hide her embarrassment, Lin Yi frantically found two scallions and stuffed them at Pei Jingping. "Chop these two scallions too, so we can have pork and scallion dumplings later," she said calmly, her voice trembling.
Pei Jingping reached out to catch the scallion, his ears slightly reddened, and he wondered inwardly: Why does it feel like Lin Yi is different this time? Just now, when he met her bright eyes, his heart inexplicably skipped a beat. This was truly abnormal.
This inexplicable thought made Pei Jingping a little confused, so much so that he was a little absent-minded when chopping the onions. After Lin Yi cleaned the chicken, she turned to look at Pei Jingping. She saw that the onions on the chopping board had been chopped into small pieces, but Pei Jingping didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
Lin Yi raised her eyebrows slightly and reminded softly, "That's almost enough!" Pei Jingping finally came to his senses and stopped the knife in his hand with some embarrassment. He asked unconsciously, "Anything else to do?"
Lin Yi looked at the tall yet somewhat dazed man in front of her, and the corners of her mouth lifted involuntarily, blooming into a gentle smile. However, her unintentional smile once again made Pei Jingping feel flustered, and the whole person behaved even more uneasy.
Lin Yi sensed his embarrassment and feared that if this continued, Pei Jingping would be humiliated. So, she quickly put away her smile and said calmly, "I'll make the stuffing. You chop the chicken into small pieces, keeping the legs and shaving the breast!" Pei Jingping, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly chopped the chicken according to Lin Yi's instructions.
"Mom, I'm so hungry. When can I eat?" Huanhuan walked into the kitchen with her short legs, hugged Lin Yi's legs and said coquettishly with a sweet look on her face.
Pei Jingping looked at Huanhuan, who was so close to Lin Yi, and was filled with disbelief. You know, Huanhuan usually stayed as far away from Lin Yi as possible. He was only away on business for a month, so what happened at home?
"It will be ready soon. The dumplings will be wrapped soon and I'll cook them for you and Xiaoyu first! You and your brother can go play for a while." Lin Yi patted Huanhuan's little head gently with a gentle smile and a voice full of pampering.
"Okay!" Huanhuan responded obediently and skipped out of the kitchen. Lin Yi looked at her back and unconsciously quickened her movements. Pei Jingping saw all this and suddenly a thought popped up in his mind: Is this the feeling of home?
After Lin Yi mixed the filling, she noticed Pei Jingping had already cleaned the chopping board and was about to roll out the dumpling wrappers. A flicker of admiration flashed in her eyes, and she asked curiously, "Can you roll out dumpling wrappers?"
"Yes!" Pei Jingping replied briefly, then quickly set to work. His rolling pin twirled with deftness, and in a short while, he'd rolled out several sheets of evenly thick dumpling wrappers. Lin Yi, intently wrapping dumplings, struggled to keep up with his pace.
After Lin Yi made more than a dozen dumplings, she said to Pei Jingping, "Go boil some water and cook the two small ones first!" Pei Jingping paused for a moment, his hand holding the rolling pin, feeling a little surprised.
In the past, Lin Yi didn't pick up her chopsticks, but she would never allow the two children to eat first. Why is she really willing to let the children eat first today?
"What are you standing there for? Go quickly! Didn't you hear Huanhuan say she was hungry?" Lin Yi glanced at Pei Jingping suspiciously and urged him. "Oh, I'll go right away!" Pei Jingping gave Lin Yi a meaningful look and turned to boil some water.
When the fragrant dumplings were served on the table, Xiaoyu and Huanhuan couldn't wait any longer. "Eat slowly, you two! Be careful of the heat! If you don't have enough, Mommy will cook more for you!" Lin Yi gently reminded them.
But the two little ones only had their eyes on the steaming dumplings, and they couldn't listen to her. Lin Yi couldn't help but smile as she watched them wolfing down their food. She turned and went back to the kitchen to continue making dumplings. By the time the two children were full, Lin Yi and Pei Jingping's dumplings were already in the pot.
Just as Lin Yi and Pei Jingping were about to start eating, Tang Yuan's anxious voice suddenly rang out in Lin Yi's mind: "Master, Lin Tao and Tian Guiying will be here soon. You're on your own!"
When Lin Yi heard this, she looked at the cooked dumplings and marinated chicken and couldn't help but curse in her heart that it was bad luck.
But her hands were very quick and nimble. She quickly poured the dumplings into a small bowl, picked up the chicken and went to her room. When she reached the door, she didn't forget to tell Pei Jingping: "Hurry up and wash the dishes and pots, and collect all the garbage related to the meat!" Although Pei Jingping felt puzzled, he still did as he was told.
After Lin Yi hid the dumplings, meat and eggs, she quickly cut a plate of pickles, brought it to the table, and stuffed half a steamed bun into Xiaoyu and Huanhuan's hands, asking them to sit still and not move.
After checking the kitchen one last time and making sure there were no flaws, Pei Jingping and I each took a steamed bun and sat down at the dining table.
"Mom, I can't eat anymore!" Huanhuan frowned and said with a look of grievance.
"If you don't want your meat and dumplings to be taken away, just sit still and don't eat!" Lin Yi said, took a bite of the steamed bun, sandwiched some pickles, and waited for Tian Guiying and Lin Tao to come with a calm expression.
