After steaming the buns and bread, Qin Xue took one to eat. It was delicious, with a soft skin and a tasty filling.

Finishing a bun, Qin Xue killed and cleaned a fish, frying it until both sides were slightly yellow before putting it in a pot with tofu to make a slow-cooked soup.

She decided to steam some rice as well so those who liked rice could eat rice and those who liked bread could have buns. The leftovers could be stored in her space for freshness.

As time passed, a delicious aroma filled the entire room.

Even the corridor was filled with the fragrance. People passing by couldn’t help but take a deep breath, wondering which family was cooking such a delectable dish.

Qin Xue opened the lid, and a mouthwatering aroma rushed into her nostrils, making her smack her lips. The fish soup looked milky white.

Sure enough, dishes cooked using Spirit Spring water were different — the aroma was much more intense.

Looking at the time, Qin Xue stir-fried the dishes one by one, before placing them on plates. They were visually impressive and had everything – color, aroma, and taste.

From the corridor came the sound of Fang Hong and Yu Xiu chatting. After finishing the last dish of minced meat and eggplants, Qin Xue took off her apron, picked up her keys, and went to knock on Yu Xiu’s door.

Yu Xiu had just entered her home, changed her shoes, and was washing her hands to prepare dinner when the doorbell rang: “Hu Zi, open the door and see who it is.’

“Alright, Mom!” Xu Hu quickly ran to open the door.

“Auntie, Mom, it’s Aunt Qin Xue!” Xu Hu called out to his mother as he greeted Qin Xue.

Yu Xiu wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen: “Qin Xue, why are you here? Sit down. Have you eaten? I’m about to cook dinner. If you haven’t eaten, eat with us later.”

“No need, Sister-in-law. I came to tell you not to cook. I’ve already prepared dinner.

To be honest, I went for a gynecological checkup at the hospital today. I was so happy and craving some food, so I cooked a few dishes and wanted to have you, Fang Hong, and your families over to celebrate.”

“Oh, that’s great! I don’t have to cook and I get a meal. What’s the occasion that has you so happy? Your eyes are practically dancing.”

Yu Xiu and Qin Xue had become familiar with each other, so the initial coldness was gone. The more they spent time together, the more Yu Xiu found out how enthusiastic a person she could be.

“Sister-in-law, didn’t you notice that my belly is bigger than other women at the same stage of pregnancy? That’s why I didn’t go to the shop today but instead went for a B-ultrasound.

Guess what? I’m carrying twins! And today, the babies moved and kicked me several times, which made me so happy. I just wanted to share this joy with all of you.”

“Really? Qin Xue, congratulations! As they say, good people receive good fortune. You’re such a wonderful person, and you’re truly blessed.”

“Alright, sister-in-law, I won’t bother you anymore. When Mr. Xu comes home, you can just come downstairs. I’ll go and tell Fang Hong now, or else it would be awkward if she starts cooking dinner.”

Yu Xiu washed the faces of the two children and told Xu Hu to inform Xu Fangzhou.

“Understood, Mom.” Xu Hu washed his face and quickly went to tell his dad.

Qin Xue arrived at Fang Hong’s house just in time to find Fang Hong washing a pot.

“Qin Xue is here! Come on in.” Fang Hong picked up the pot and prepared to rinse out the rice.

Looking at this, Qin Xue hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, don’t cook dinner tonight. Come to my house instead. I’ve already cooked. When Mr. Xie finishes work, just head over to my place.”

Fang Hong looked at Qin Xue’s happy expression and couldn’t help but tease her.

“Qin Xue, what’s got you so excited and inviting us over for dinner? Tell your

sister-in-law about the good news!”

So Qin Xue repeated to Fang Hong what she had told Yu Xiu earlier.

“Really? That’s great! Qin Xue, congratulations! If Molin knew he was going to have two kids at once, he would be over the moon.

It’s wonderful. Who would have thought that Mr. Chu would not only have strong work abilities, but also strong sowing ability, haha!” Fang Hong laughed heartily, teasing Qin Xue.

“Sister-in-law, you’re so mean! Is that how you joke with people?

Maybe when your three months are up, Mr. Xie will plant two in your belly as well. ”

Qin Xue was not going to be outdone. They were all close friends and women, so they could tease each other together..
