CHAPTER 176: CHAPTER 61 FISH MINCE CAKE (PART 1)_2

However, Ye Wenting had heard people talk about it, saying that his brother-in-law held a high position in the military, being Marshal Ke Lian’s capable assistant. Although he wasn’t Ke Lian’s adjutant, his status and power were enough to be on par with Adjutant Zhang Xiong.

With such a position, Ye Wenting always thought Mo Feng was someone very much like Ke Lian—cold, aloof, strong, and dignified. So...who was this rather arrogant ’big boy’ in front of him?

Thinking he might have heard wrong, Ye Wenting quickly turned his head, worrying that the image of his brother-in-law in his mind was crumbling again and again, but he happened to see Ke Lian happily picking food for Du Xixi, his face full of a silly smile.

Ye Wenting: ...Great, Marshal Ke Lian’s image has completely shattered!

Maybe it wasn’t that he heard wrong at that time, but all the rumors were unreliable. Where does Marshal Ke Lian have that cold, aloof, strong, and dignified demeanor!

Mo Ying and Ye Wenting moved nearby to become neighbors, but it didn’t seem to change Du Xixi’s life, naturally because Mo Ying and Ye Wenting were too busy.

Ye Wenting was already a high-tech talent at the Imperial Research Institute, ordinarily busy researching various important technologies. Throughout the year, his vacation time in total was less than a month.

Ye Wenting wanted to arrange a date with Mo Ying but could only apologize and choose a place closer to the Imperial Research Institute. In case he received an urgent notification midway, he could return to the institute as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, Mo Ying didn’t mind because she, as a logistics personnel at the Military Department, was not any more unoccupied than Ye Wenting, sometimes even busier than him, who worked day and night.

The two workaholics gathered together, their dates were few and short, and even their wedding leave was specially arranged for them by the superiors.

The Empire isn’t that cold and ruthless; it wouldn’t coldly watch two talents from different fields reach old age without marrying due to the lack of holidays.

That day after everyone had dinner together, Mo Ying and Ye Wenting both entered a crazy working mode. Only occasionally would Mo Ying come to Ke Family at night to see Du Xixi, but she would leave after just a short chat, yawning, and with a heavy head.

Du Xixi then simply told Mo Ying to work well and not take time to see her, saying that when she had free time, she could watch as long as she wanted and wasn’t in a rush.

Another boring yet peaceful morning arrived, Du Xixi watched the flowers in the garden she’d seen so many days before, feeling that no matter how beautiful they were, seeing them day in and day out really made her tired of them.

And the thing that brought fun back into Du Xixi’s life came soon enough—CD-0329 Star achieved a major breakthrough, and freshwater and saltwater delicacies, finally appeared in front of everyone with information provided by Chen Yin and Du Xixi!

Du Xixi, from the beginning, wanted to eat meat in the Star Era, but after having meat, she started wondering if she could have fish, shrimp, crab, and such. Just as expected, after Du Xixi’s daily anticipation, they finally arrived!

Looking at the three hefty grass carp held by 2569’s mechanical arm, Du Xixi licked her lips and had 2569 send them to the kitchen, simultaneously going upstairs quickly to change into suitable cooking clothes, and headed to the kitchen with big strides.

Miao Miao closely followed behind Du Xixi, seeing her walking faster and faster, feeling anxious inside. She really worried that Du Xixi might accidentally trip!

Du Xixi’s steps were evidently steady. Even though her pregnant belly protruded greatly in front, thanks to her regular and punctual walks, she could move around her familiar home with ease, not to mention just walking a bit faster.

Du Xixi’s mind was now filled with thoughts of the three big grass carp!

Grass carp is a typical herbivorous freshwater fish with firm meat, few bones, and thick flesh, whether braised or steamed, with chopped chili or in soup, it’s all a good choice. The three grass carp delivered from CD-0329 Star were clearly carefully selected and were quite large.

All three grass carp were knocked out, Du Xixi picked up the slightly smaller one, carefully weighed it, and thought it must weigh four or five pounds.

Looking at the three fresh carp, struggling and puffing their gills after waking up, Du Xixi decided to eat one today and save the rest for tomorrow.
