Chapter 404: Fighting First and Cooking Later
Xiao Lili snapped back to her senses after Qin Niannian's reminder. Although she was still furious at An Shiya's father's actions, the thought of An Shiya being pregnant made it impossible to neglect her. "Niannian, you're right. Shiya's situation is the most important thing right now." She took a deep breath and continued, "I can't let Wu Zhenzhen get there first. She's trying to steal my grandson's affection. No, I have to go make some delicious food for Shiya."
Xiao Lili rushed to the market, her eyes filled with determination and concern as she wandered between the stalls. She carefully selected the freshest ingredients, muttering to herself as she went, "Shiya's pregnant, so she needs to eat more nutritious food. This fish needs to be lively and active—yes, this one, it's bound to be fresh. And these spareribs—they'll make the most nourishing soup." Soon, her basket was overflowing.
Upon returning home, Xiao Lili dove into the kitchen, donned an apron, and instantly transformed into a master chef. The kitchen erupted in a symphony of pots and pans, and smoke rose from the flames. She began by meticulously preparing fish broth, simmering it over low heat. The rich aroma gradually permeated the air, enveloping the entire house in a warm atmosphere.
When the servants saw that the lady was actually cooking, they asked curiously, "Madam, why are you cooking today? This is really rare." Xiao Lili looked intently at the fish soup in the pot and replied with a smile, "Shi Ya is pregnant. The child needs nutrition the most now. I have to make some delicious food for her." The servants suddenly realized and praised the lady for her thoughtfulness.
At this time, the housekeeper Wang Bo walked in and saw Xiao Lili busy in the kitchen. He was slightly surprised: "Madam, if you want to eat something, just tell us to make it. Why are you doing it yourself?" Xiao Lili waved her hand: "How can it be the same? Yuxuan's girlfriend is pregnant with twins. How can I not be happy?
By the way, go clean up Yuxuan's bedroom and the guest room next to it, so that Shiya can have more space when she moves in later." Uncle Wang nodded quickly and turned to arrange for the other servants to do their work.
Xiao Lili continued to work in the kitchen, thinking about Shiya, who was pregnant with twins and needed to get enough nutrition. Besides the fish soup and pork ribs, she planned to make sea cucumber porridge. Sea cucumbers are rich in protein and various trace elements, which are beneficial for both pregnant women and fetuses. She took the soaked sea cucumber from the cupboard, carefully cleaned it, cut it into small pieces, and added it to the already thick rice porridge.
"Madam, you rarely eat this sea cucumber porridge, but you've really spent a fortune on it today," a young servant said with a smile. Xiao Lili glared at him. "How can this be compared? Shiya is pregnant with two children, we can't treat them badly. You kid, quickly wash the fresh fruit I bought and bring it to Shiya later." The servant stuck out his tongue and hurried to wash the fruit.
Soon, the meal was ready. Xiao Lili packed fish soup, pork rib soup, sea cucumber porridge, a few light side dishes, and washed fruit into insulated lunch boxes and plastic bags. She double-checked everything, making sure nothing was missing, and then breathed a sigh of relief. "Uncle Wang, have Lao Zhang drive the car over. I'll take it to Shiya right away," Xiao Lili said, picking up her coat and handbag.
On the way to the hospital, Xiao Lili stared out the window, her thoughts drifting away. She recalled the first time Yuxuan brought Shiya home, the youthful sweetness of the two young people at that time still vividly in her mind. Now, Shiya was pregnant with twins, and she was about to become a grandmother, her joy overflowing with words.
At the same time, An Shiya in the ward was very worried and asked, "Yuxuan, Auntie went out after receiving a call. Did something happen? Can you call Auntie again?
Now, Shiya is pregnant with twins and will soon become a grandmother. Her joy is beyond words.
Gu Yuxuan patted An Shiya's hand comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, Mom must be fine. Maybe there is some small matter at home that needs to be dealt with. I'll call and ask." As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Xiao Lili's number.
The call was quickly connected, and Xiao Lili's voice came: "Son, what's wrong?" Yuxuan asked: "Mom, you've been out for so long, An Shiya is a little worried about you, is there something wrong?"
Xiao Lili felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. If it weren't for that woman An Shiyuan's instigation, she would have prepared the meal for Shi Ya long ago. However, she had to thank Mo Wanting and Nian Nian, otherwise An Shiyuan would have succeeded.
Thinking of this, she said, "Silly child, what could be the problem? I just went home to make some delicious food for Shiya and will send it to you soon. Just wait for it with peace of mind." Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief and told An Shiya what Xiao Lili said. After hearing this, An Shiya was deeply moved: "Auntie is so kind to me. She even went home to cook for me."
When the car arrived at the hospital, Xiao Lili carefully walked into the ward carrying a bag full of delicious food. As soon as she entered, she smiled and said, "Shiya, come and try the food Auntie made. It's all your favorite food, specially made to provide nutrition for you and your baby."
An Shiya quickly stood up to greet her: "Auntie, you work so hard and even cook for us yourself." Xiao Lili waved her hand: "It's not hard. As long as you eat well, I'm happy." As she spoke, she took out the food from the lunch boxes and plastic bags one by one and placed them on the table.
At this time, the door of the ward was knocked again, and Wu Zhenzhen walked in. She was holding an exquisite thermos bucket in her hand. Seeing Xiao Lili there, she was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "Shiya, Mom also made chicken soup for you, and put a lot of nourishing herbs in it." Wu Zhenzhen put the thermos bucket on the table.
At this time, Wu Zhenzhen saw the food Xiao Lili brought and said with a hint of teasing, "Hey, Xiao Lili, when did you learn to cook? I remember when we were best friends, I never saw you cook. The sun is rising from the west, and you've prepared everything."
Xiao Lili responded unyieldingly, "Of course not. Shiya is pregnant with twins, so she needs to get enough nutrition. I've carefully prepared every dish."
Gu Yuxuan looked at Xiao Lili and Wu Zhenzhen arguing with each other until their faces flushed, and said, "Leave both lunch boxes. If Shiya can't finish it, give me the rest. I've never eaten the meal my mother cooked for me! I'm still taking advantage of Shiya today!"
After hearing this, Xiao Lili said unhappily, "You kid, don't you usually ask Uncle Wang to make enough delicious food for you? Now you're talking nonsense." Although she said that, Xiao Lili couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes full of doting for her son.
An Shiya couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. The tense atmosphere relaxed a lot. She took Xiao Lili's hand and said coquettishly, "Auntie, Yuxuan likes to joke around. Don't take it to heart. As for me, I feel very happy just by looking at these delicious foods.
Wu Zhenzhen also smiled and continued, "Shiya, Mom has been away from you for so many years and has never cooked for you, so I made chicken soup for you today. You must try it. Mom will take good care of you in the future." As she spoke, she gently touched An Shiya's belly, her eyes full of love: "These two little darlings will also have grandma to love them in the future."
Seeing this, Xiao Lili also came over and patted An Shiya's belly gently: "That won't do. I, a grandma, have to feel the pain too. No one can snatch it away from her." Wu Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at her: "You are the only one who knows how to talk. Do you think I can snatch it from you?" The two of them started arguing with each other again, but the intimacy between their words and their concern for An Shiya could not be hidden.
