Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Nangong Shulan watched Qin Xue giggle, and couldn’t help but be amused.

“What dish do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you tomorrow.” Nangong Shulan knew that pregnant women’s tastes change quickly, so she didn’t refuse when she heard Qin Xue’s request.

“I want to eat something spicy. Mom, let’s make some Liangpi tomorrow.” Qin Xue thought that the hot weather called for a spicy dish like Liangpi to whet her appetite.

“What is Liangpi?” Nangong Shulan didn’t know how to make Liangpi, so she asked Qin Xue.

“Liangpi is made by kneading dough and letting it rest for half an hour. After the dough has rested, knead it a few more times and then wash it in water until all the flour is clean, leaving only the gluten. Let the washed dough water sit for three to four hours.

Drain the clear water on top, leaving the starchy water below, which is the batter. Finally, spread a thin layer of the batter on a plate and steam it in a pot. That’s Liangpi.” Qin Xue loved Liangpi and used to enjoy eating a big bowl of it with her classmates.

Now, if she wanted to eat it, she’d have to make it herself.

“Alright, I’ll make Liangpi for you tomorrow.” Nangong Shulan thought it didn’t sound too difficult and agreed to make it for Qin Xue.

“Yay, mom is the best!” Qin Xue shouted happily.

The three family members looked at Qin Xue’s happy face and exchanged glances, shaking their heads helplessly. They all thought, what a silly, easily-satisfied girl she was.

The family sat around the table, eating quietly.

From time to time, the sound of chopsticks clinking against bowls could be heard, along with occasional conversations.

The warm atmosphere lingered in the small space.

“Phew, I’m so full.” Qin Xue rubbed her belly and exclaimed.

“Do you want to go for a walk?” Chu Molin asked Qin Xue.

“Okay, mom, Xiao Yu, are you coming?” Qin Xue agreed and casually asked her mother and brother.

“I won’t go, you two go ahead.” Qin Yu didn’t want to be a third wheel.

“I won’t go either. I’ll clean up the dishes. You two go.” Nangong Shulan didn’t want to disturb her son-in-law and daughter’s alone time either.

It had to be said that Nangong Shulan was a very open-minded mother.

She never interfered with her children’s relationships, and as long as they were happy, she was satisfied. There was no need to be a villain and ruin their relationships.

“Let’s go.” Chu Molin gratefully looked at his mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

He pulled Qin Xue out the door, knowing that if they didn’t take a walk, she might have trouble falling asleep later.

The couple, as usual, went to the playground and walked slowly.

The moon stretched their shadows long, and sometimes the couple’s shadows overlapped, showing their love for each other.

“Xue’er, An Hao agreed.” Chu Molin remembered that he hadn’t told Qin Xue about Li Zhao and An Hao’s agreement.

“Really? That’s great! I’ll be able to earn more money soon.” Qin Xue thought about how she needed to save money to buy a house quickly because it wouldn’t be convenient once the baby was born.

“It’s true. Zhaozi and An Hao both promised, so it’s unlikely to change.” Chu Molin knew that the Lis loved Li Zhao and An Hao very much.

“That’s good. Chu Molin, where do you want to live?” Qin Xue asked Chu Molin.

“As long as I can be with you and the baby, I don’t care where we live.” Chu Molin truly didn’t mind where they lived. He had lived in the army for ten years,

Now that he had a wife and a child, he would definitely want to stay with them. Even if he couldn’t be with them every day, he would want to live nearby so that he could visit them whenever he wanted. Being together as a family was the happiest thing.
