Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 979: Perfect Coordination

Xinyan naturally understood Old Mrs. Tong’s feelings and thoughts. After all, the two old ladies had been together for so long; they truly had feelings for each other.

Old Mrs. Tong had calmed down by then, and just at that moment, Tong Family’s eldest also came out looking for someone: "Mom, how did you disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Xinyan jokingly teased: "Uncle Tong, Grandma Tong missed me, so she came running to me."

Grandma Tong cooperated and said: "Oh yes, he always annoys me, so I came running to Xinyan. I was just going to ask if she’d take me in."

Tong Family’s eldest, Tong Ligang, walked a few steps quickly: "Oh my dear old lady, come on, who in our family dares to make you mad? If he does, he doesn’t want to stay in the house anymore."

At this moment, Tong Family’s eldest daughter-in-law, Ning Suqing, also walked out from the gate: "Mom, who made you angry? I’ll help you deal with them."

Tong Family’s eldest raised his hand and said: "Alright, give me a chance to live."

Everyone laughed together.

Tong Family’s eldest daughter-in-law walked over: "Mom, it’s cold outside, let’s go home."

Only then did Old Mrs. Tong wave to Xinyan: "Let’s go back, it’s cold outside."

Xinyan nodded: "Okay."

She watched the three from the Tong Family enter the yard, then turned around to go back.

As she closed the gate, she whispered to He Jinxuan who was coming over: "It’s all your fault."

He Jinxuan took Xinyan’s hand: "Yes, yes, yes, blame me, blame me."

While they were talking, Xinyan walked to the kitchen door, opened it first to turn on the kitchen light, and said to He Jinxuan: "The light string near the gate fell down; please check it for me later."

This was also the reason they didn’t turn on the light when entering the yard.

When He Jinxuan heard the light string had fallen, he thought it was unacceptable since he couldn’t accompany her every day. If the little girl came back late, she would have to fumble her way through the dark, which was unsafe.

Just now he thought the little girl was embarrassed, which was why the yard light wasn’t turned on—he really misunderstood the situation.

Now that the days are short, night falls early.

Xinyan went into the house to prepare dinner, while He Jinxuan took the flashlight that Xinyan handed over and went to the gate to fix the light string.

Xinyan entered the kitchen and put water on to boil. Then, taking advantage of He Jinxuan’s absence, she took out the meat sauce she had prepared earlier and stored in the space.

She then started measuring flour, getting ready to make dough.

He Jinxuan worked swiftly. Just as Xinyan finished scooping the flour, he came in: "It’s fixed."

Seeing the flour in Xinyan’s ceramic bowl, he said: "I’ll make the dough; you get the other things ready."

Of course, Xinyan wouldn’t refuse: "Sure, you make the dough; I’ll go to the backyard shed to pick some tender vegetables."

After the autumn harvest, He Jinxuan built a greenhouse like last year, with some green leafy vegetables already sprouting, though not fully grown.

Xinyan went over, considering it as thinning out the seedlings, and picked out the bigger ones to pull.

When she returned, He Jinxuan had already finished the dough. It’s truly an advantage to have great strength.

Without needing Xinyan’s instructions, He Jinxuan directly took the kneading board, set it up, slapped the dough onto it, and started kneading it.

Once Xinyan finished washing the vegetables, He Jinxuan had already rolled out the dough.

He Jinxuan turned to Xinyan: "Do you want to eat clear broth noodles?"

Xinyan shook her head and pointed to the cupboard: "There’s the meat sauce I fried earlier. Just cook some vegetables when boiling the noodles."

When the water boiled, she added the noodles and drained the water twice before throwing the washed vegetable leaves in.

Xinyan scooped a bowl for herself and gave He Jinxuan a basin directly.

Afraid he might misunderstand, she explained: "This way, the noodles can mix well, and you can also save washing an extra bowl later."

He Jinxuan ruffled her head: "Sure, as long as you don’t mind my big appetite."

The two exchanged a glance and both laughed.
