Chapter 31: First Meal in the New Home
~
Being the only one left at home, Ruan Zhao began to show off his skills in the kitchen.
Wang Shufang gave a lot of vegetables, including cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, loofahs, lots of green peppers and beans, and a handful of green onions.
Ruan Zhao took out two pieces of tofu, some dried bean curd skin, oil and seasoning from the storage ring.
There was no way. Although she had bought a lot of things, there were still many things left.
This is also the reason why she wants to send Qin Zongwu away.
This guy is too cunning. Ruan Zhao doesn't dare to take anything out of the storage ring in front of him.
After preparing all the dishes, Ruan Zhao started cooking.
Fortunately, the coal stove here is quite convenient. You can use it by just putting coal balls in it. There is no need to add firewood manually, and it is not easy to extinguish the fire.
Cut the tofu into diamond-shaped slices and fry them in oil until both sides are golden brown and the skin is crispy.
Put the eggplant in the pot and stir-fry until the water is dry, then take it out and stir-fry the green pepper. When the green pepper is 80% cooked, pour in the eggplant and tofu and stir-fry over high heat.
Add salt and seasoning, stir-fry evenly and then turn off the heat. A dish of three fresh delicacies created by Ruan Zhao is ready.
After cleaning the pot, Ruan Zhao fried some loofah with eggs, stir-fried green beans with tofu skin, and made a cold cucumber salad. Finally, he made a tomato and egg soup and steamed a pot of rice. He was done.
Just then, the father and his two sons came back.
Qin Mu could smell the fragrance from a distance, "Mom, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good!"
Ruan Zhao put all the dishes on the table and replied with a smile.
"Come and see for yourself."
The two children ran over and saw the table full of dishes, their eyes were filled with stars.
"Wow! So many dishes, and even rice!"
Qin Zongwu was a little depressed. Ruan Zhao glanced at him and knew that his attempt to trick him had failed, so he kindly called out.
"Go wash your hands and eat!"
Qin Zongwu glanced at Ruan Zhao and always felt that there was a hint of gloating in her eyes.
"Ah."
Commander Yang's family must have quite a few people, so the dining table in the restaurant is very large, and there is still plenty of space even after Ruan Zhao and others sit down.
As soon as Qin Ze and Qin Mu sat down at the table, they began to concentrate on eating.
Qin Zongwu didn't expect Ruan Zhao's cooking skills to be so good. He didn't want to drink it at first, but he got in the mood and actually poured himself a glass of wine.
Seeing the father and his two sons eating with relish, Ruan Zhao felt a sense of accomplishment and ate three large bowls of rice in a row.
Qin Ze and Qin Mu also ate until their bellies were full.
~
After finishing the meal, Ruan Zhao began to lie down on the sofa.
She likes cooking but doesn't like washing dishes, and she doesn't want to serve Qin Zongwu for nothing.
Fortunately, Qin Zongwu was very sensible and took the initiative to take on the task of washing dishes.
Looking at Qin Zongwu busy in the kitchen, Ruan Zhao suddenly remembered something.
She got up and walked to the bedroom, took out the letter written by Su Jinsheng from her bag, and walked to the kitchen door.
"Qin Zongwu, Uncle Jinsheng wrote you a letter. Take a look and write a reply. I'll mail it back to them later."
Qin Zongwu had just finished washing the dishes, wiped his hands and took the envelope.
Ruan Zhao continued, "By the way, Xiaoze and Xiaomu's schooling needs to be resolved. They're already late for school, and we can't delay any further."
Qin Zongwu was still very satisfied with the original owner's decision to send his two children to school.
In the past, most rural women had little knowledge and thought that going to school was useless and could not be used as food or drink.
What's more, the family is so poor that they can't even get enough to eat, let alone spend money to send their children to school.
Although the original owner lived in poverty, she was still willing to send her two children to school, which was much better than those women.
Qin Zongwu nodded and said, "Yes, there is a school in the military district. I will take a leave tomorrow to transfer their household registration here first, and then send them to the military district primary school."
This saves a lot of trouble!
Ruan Zhao thought of something else and said, "That's perfect. Let's move my household registration out as well. I want to live on my own."
The original owner was a child bride of the Qin family, so her household registration had always been in the Qin family. Since they were no longer husband and wife, there was no need for her to stay in someone else's household registration book.
Qin Zongwu frowned slightly, a little hesitant.
"Actually, you don't have to move. Your parents have always treated you as their daughter. You..."
He wanted to say that Ruan Zhao could treat her as the daughter of the Qin family, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it.
Ruan Zhao sneered, "If it's as you said, then I would become Xiaoze and Xiaomu's aunt.
This foster brother and foster sister have a child but don't get married, what a mess their relationship must be! "
Qin Zongwu saw the mockery in her eyes and frowned fiercely, "..."
Ruan Zhao didn't care whether he was happy or not, "Okay, since we are not husband and wife anymore, let's just sort out our relationship.
So that you don't end up with a lot of misunderstandings when you marry someone else in the future!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Zhao turned around and went back to his room without caring whether Qin Zongwutong agreed or not.
Qin Zongwu was left standing there in a daze.
What on earth did this woman eat to become so talkative?
~
In the evening, after washing up, Ruan Zhao sat in front of the newly bought dressing mirror.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Ruan Zhao sighed countless times.
"Ugh!"
If you think about it, she was a famous beauty master in modern times.
If she wasn't so capable, no one would be able to hold her back, and the people pursuing her would probably line up from the Great Wall to Hainan Island.
But now she has turned into a skinny, dark and thin rural woman. How can she bear it?
"No! I want to return to the peak of my beauty."
She finally got a chance to live again, and in this life, she had to sleep with a few handsome men no matter what.
With a passion to become beautiful, Ruan Zhao swiftly climbed onto the bed to practice.
In fact, she also has a way to quickly restore her appearance, but changing it too quickly will arouse suspicion.
So Ruan Zhao could only take it slow.
Fortunately, Qin Zongwu was at home, so it was very easy for her to practice.
~
They say to take it slow, but what needs to be done must be done.
The first step is to reshape this body.
Ruan Zhao first took out two thousand-year-old ghost pills from the storage ring and ate them to protect his heart meridians. Then he closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to practice the exercises.
This method of reshaping bones and muscles was created by her. It is similar to Taoist principles, but not exactly the same.
It is similar to the cultivation techniques in the world of immortals. After the muscles and bones are reshaped, the body will be reborn, but from the appearance, there will not be much change.
If someone else were to use this method to reshape their body, it would probably take a long time and might not even succeed.
But Ruan Zhao is different. Her soul is naturally powerful, even to the point of immortality.
So it only takes one night to successfully shape your body.
Ruan Zhao absorbed a large amount of bloody evil energy from Qin Zongwu, then transformed it into spiritual energy, circling around his body, first breaking all the tendons and bones of this body.
Then, reshape it bit by bit.
Just like the phoenix's rebirth, the process was very painful, but it was nothing to Ruan Zhao.
After all, she had experienced it once before.
Fine beads of sweat kept coming out of Ruan Zhao's forehead, his lips were pale and bloodless, and his internal organs felt like they were on fire.
But her expression was very calm, as if she was unconscious.
