Chapter 61

Sihe Academy

Tomorrow is Sunday, which is also the day agreed upon for the blind date.

Thinking of the blind date, Cao Weiguo was both nervous and expectant.

He went to the vegetable market with a show of pretense, then returned to the Sihe Academy carrying chicken, duck, and pork.

"Whoa! Weiguo, are you not planning to live anymore!"

"Chicken and duck!"

"Such a big piece of pork, must be seven or eight catties!"

"Weiguo, are relatives coming tomorrow?"

The neighbors stared greedily at the chicken, duck, and pork hanging on Cao Weiguo's bicycle.

Cao Weiguo's life was truly getting more and more prosperous.

Bringing back chicken, duck, and pork all at once was more sumptuous than their New Year's ingredients.

The Third Uncle stood in the courtyard, feeling heartache, full of resentment that Yu Haitang didn't know a good thing.

Otherwise, he would have had a share of this chicken, duck, and pork.

The First Uncle stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Cao Weiguo with deep eyes, not knowing what he was pondering.

Cao Weiguo didn't say much to the neighbors, brushed them off, and walked home without stopping.

These neighbors might not have bad intentions, but they all had their own calculations.

Cao Weiguo didn't have the heart to save the world, he just wanted to live his own life alone.

Back home, Cao Weiguo began to tidy up the room and carefully clean it.

Qin Huairu walked into the room with a "warm heart" and diligently picked up the rag in the basin to wipe the furniture.

"Qin Jie, I can do these chores myself."

"A big man like you is not cut out for housework."

"Go do whatever you need to do; I'll have your house clean and tidy in a moment."

"When your blind date comes tomorrow and sees a clean and tidy room, she'll definitely like it."

Looking at the nimble Qin Huairu, Cao Weiguo couldn't help but soften his heart.

This Qin Huairu valued filial piety, was capable, and was devoted to her children.

In terms of character alone, Qin Huairu had aspects worthy of respect.

It was just that in some aspects and at some times, she was too selfish and too ruthless.

With Qin Huairu cleaning the room, Cao Weiguo, now free, walked into the kitchen.

He took a fish out of the laundry basin and began to cook.

In a moment, a rich aroma filled the whole room.

"So fragrant!"

Smelling the aroma, Qin Huairu swallowed her saliva and walked toward the kitchen.

Although Shazhu had returned to the kitchen, his status was far from what it used to be.

Although he could bring back lunch boxes, they were all green vegetables without oil.

The starving Qin Huairu had her soul hooked as soon as she smelled the aroma.

"Ah!"

Just as she walked into the kitchen, Cao Weiguo turned around suddenly.

The two collided, causing an unexpected accident.

The caught-off-guard Qin Huairu was about to fall backward, and Cao Weiguo hurriedly reached out to grab her arm.

"Oh my!"

Pulled by the sudden force, Qin Huairu fell into Cao Weiguo's arms.

"Weiguo! Let me go!"

The scorching masculine aura made Qin Huairu's cheeks flush red.

Flustered, she patted Cao Weiguo's shoulder.

Cao Weiguo felt the softness pressing against his chest and couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

After being patted a few times by Qin Huairu, he came to his senses, awkwardly let go, and stepped back.

"Qin Jie, why didn't you make a sound when you walked?"

Qin Huairu, whose whole body felt weak, glared at Cao Weiguo reproachfully: "It was clearly you who turned around suddenly and scared me."

Qin Huairu's rosy face made Cao Weiguo feel itchy and restless.

A charming young woman like Qin Huairu, with her plump figure and beautiful appearance, was truly seductive.

It was no wonder she could attract so many bees and butterflies.

"What are you making? It smells so good."

Qin Huairu sniffed the aroma and walked to the stove, her eyes fixed on the pot of fish soup.

"Just a simple winter bamboo shoot and carp soup."

Looking at the salivating Qin Huairu, and then at the cleaned living room.

Cao Weiguo took a large bowl from the cupboard and used a spoon to scoop a full bowl of fish soup.

"Qin Jie, you worked hard cleaning the room; take this bowl of fish soup back to eat."

Looking at the bowl of fish soup placed in front of her, Qin Huairu was full of joy.

This bowl of fish soup had several pieces of fish and quite a few winter bamboo shoots.

"Thank you, Weiguo; Qin Jie is going back; I'll return the bowl tomorrow."

Qin Huairu happily carried the fish soup home.

The aroma of the fish soup instantly made Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi open their eyes wide.

"Mom, what are you carrying? It smells so good!"

Banggeng ran to Qin Huairu's side, drooling, his eyes fixed on the large bowl without blinking.

"You're in for a treat today."

"Fish soup! There's fish in it too!"

Qin Huairu put the basin on the table, and Banggeng's eyes turned green.

"Qin Huairu, where did this fish soup come from?"

Jia Zhangshi swallowed her saliva, her eyes fierce as she asked sharply. ===== CHAPTER 63 =====
