It was already four o'clock in the morning when Mo Shaoqing arrived at the imperial capital overnight.
It was another hour from the Capital Airport to Ling's house.
When he arrived at the door, Mo Shaoqing was extremely thankful that he had brought the key, so that he could enter the door without alarming anyone.
Mo Shaoqing knew that Ling Senhao got up at seven o'clock every day, so he rested on the sofa for a while, and planned to make breakfast for him and Ruarui.
When he walked to the kitchen, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't cooked a big meal for his family for nearly half a year, and he felt more and more guilty.
The summer morning is still relatively cool, Mo Shaoqing plans to make some light meals.
Ling Senhao likes to drink coffee to refresh himself in the morning, but drinking coffee all the time is not good, so Mo Shaoqing is still going to squeeze a glass of juice for him.
Mo Shaoqing took a lot of seasonal fruits from space, including grapes.
Put the grapes in water, add flour to wash them, then soak them in light salt water for half an hour, then soak the mung beans and rice in water for an hour.
Mo Shaoqing found the leftover bone broth from last night in the refrigerator, and it had turned into jelly.
Remove the shrimp line from the fresh shrimp, chop it into minced meat, add onion, ginger, garlic and cooking wine to taste, and finally mix it with the meat jelly and put it in the refrigerator.
On the other side, start to prepare the leather. Mix the high-gluten flour and cornstarch at a ratio of 2:1, scald the dough with hot water and knead it into a dough. Knead repeatedly until it is firm and wake up for half an hour.
Chop up the freshly pulled fruit and toss it into a simple salad.
After working for a while, half an hour passed. Mo Shaoqing put the soaked mung beans and rice into the pot, added water, and set a timer for 30 minutes.
Put the grapes into the juicer, add pure water, and a glass of grape juice is done, then put it in the refrigerator, and take out the filling you just made.
Pull the dough into small doughs, roll them into thin skins, put the fillings in, make small pleats, and steam them in a pan.
After finishing the work, the old and the young, Mo Shaoqing found a baby recipe and was going to learn some baby recipes.
Nine-month-old Rurui has already entered the teething period. In addition to breast milk, she should take in protein and soy products, and also eat some meat to supplement nutrition. Mo Shaoqing learned it very seriously. Taste, to choose the complementary food for Rarity.
In the end, Mo Shaoqing decided to make him a pumpkin paste and shrimp egg spinach noodle soup.
Pumpkin paste is very simple. The soaked pumpkin is steamed and cut into pieces, stirred into pumpkin puree, and then put in a food processor with nutritious rice noodles to make a paste.
Because the baby can't eat too many eggs, Mo Shaoqing carefully took half an egg, and only the egg white, and then mixed it with flour to form a slightly harder dough, rolled it into strips and cut it into thin slices.
Cut the remaining fresh shrimp into small cubes, wash the spinach, scald it with boiling water, remove it and mince it for later use.
Put the bone broth in the refrigerator into the pot, put in the diced shrimp, after the soup boils, put in the knife-cut noodles, cook until soft, pour in the egg yolk, then add the minced spinach, and finally Mo Shaoqing put a little more sesame oil.
While it was still early, he turned on the oven that had not been used for a long time, intending to make some teething biscuits for the little guy.
Mama He came over once during the period, but Mo Shaoqing refused her help and drove him back to the room to let her sleep for a while.
For a while, the fresh, fragrant and milky aroma mixed in the kitchen, which smelled very good.
When Ling Senhao came down from the stairs holding the sleepy Raurui, he smelled a burst of fragrance, which was different from what Mama He usually made.
His heart trembled, and he was blessed for a moment. He walked downstairs quickly, and it turned out that his lover had returned.
Seeing Mo Shaoqing busy in the kitchen, Ling Senhao was relieved, besides the warm love, there was also some distress.
Rarity was still sleepy, lying on Ling Senhao's shoulder and refused to wake up.
Ling Senhao rubbed his small waist, Rarity finally regained consciousness.
"Who do you see coming?" Ling Senhao whispered, pointing at the back in the kitchen.
Rarity rubbed her eyes: "Papa?"
"Yes, it's Dad!"
Rarity became excited all of a sudden, chattering something, kicking her small body, her little hands were going to reach for someone.
As soon as Mo Shaoqing turned around, he saw father and son looking at him with bright eyes.
Ling Senhao joked: "Yo~ Our little snail is back?"
Seeing the father and son, Mo Shaoqing felt sore for a moment.
"Are you guys OK?"
"Not bad!" Ling Senhao conveniently put Ruarui in the baby walker, and followed Mo Shaoqing into the kitchen.
Rarity didn't want the two fathers to leave just like that, and slipped in with small steps.
"Oh, why did Rui Rui come in?" Mo Shaoqing hugged Rui Rui.
"Remember Dad?"
"Daddy~" Now Rarity can pronounce these two sounds clearly.
"Yes, I'm Dad!" Mo Shaoqing held his soft little body in his arms and refused to let go.
"There is porridge in the pot, serve it yourself!"
Father Ling who was left behind shook his head helplessly.
It was rare for the family to get together, Mo Shaoqing placed Ruarui in his exclusive seat, handed him a toy, and brought the mush from the kitchen to dry.
Seeing Mo Shaoqing holding the small bowl, Ruanrui's eyes lit up, and the toy was thrown on the ground. She stretched out her little tongue, which showed that she was very hungry.
Mo Shaoqing smiled and said, "Little greedy cat!"
Rarity didn't know what it meant, but seeing her dad smile, he laughed too, and patted the table while laughing.
Mo Shaoqing took a small mouthful, touched his lower lip, and after confirming that it was warm, he fed the pumpkin paste to Ruarui, the sweetness quickly attracted the little guy.
But after eating the broth in the lump soup, Rarity no longer wants to eat slimy vegetables.
"This villain!" Mo Shaoqing was amazed, a child who is more than 9 months old knows how to picky eaters
"No, just follow me at night! You won't even be able to hug Mama He when you fall asleep. It's like having a radar on your body." Ling Senhao pampered his little head with a look of sweetness.
Ruirui recognized people when she was five months old. At that time, except for Mo Shaoqing, she almost didn't want anyone. Later, she slowly accepted Ling Senhao, and then her grandparents.
When Mo Shaoqing first met, he noticed the darkness under the other's eyes. Now that he had to stay up all night to take care of the children, and there was such a huge company to manage, one could imagine how hard the other month had been.
After all, one of them still has to compromise... Mo Shaoqing thought.
Ling Senhao didn't know which sentence he said touched his lover's heartstrings, but he actually calmed down.
"What's wrong?"
"No." Mo Shaoqing paused, and figured it out almost instantly.
Everything he wants now, the money he earns and his reputation, are all for the betterment of this family. If he loses time with his family just to make money, then that would be putting the cart before the horse!
"I'll take a break after filming this movie!" Mo Shaoqing said lightly, feeding Ruarui, as if he was talking about what to eat for lunch.
So much so that Ling Senhao was stunned the moment he heard it.
"What did you say?"
Mo Shaoqing smiled at his unbelievable look.
"Is it weird?"
"Why do you suddenly not want to film? Someone bullied you?" Ling Senhao immediately thought of the suppression on set.
"I want to be with Rarity more than this." And you.
Mo Shaoqing also knew in his heart that after accepting this movie, there would be countless announcements in the future, and he might have to go against his original wishes.
And it's not that he has no career at all, he also has Mo's private kitchen! Entering country B is his next goal!
Ling Senhao was surprised at first, but soon he understood what Mo Shaoqing meant.
"good!"
Mo Shaoqing looked up at him, and Ling Senhao had a rare big smile, looking bright and proud.
"Thank you!" Thank you for sacrificing for me, for Rarity, and for this family.
*****
It was only after Mo Shaoqing and Yin Wanjun got in touch that he realized that the other party had arrived in the imperial capital, and the two made an appointment to meet at Mo's private kitchen.
"How about filming abroad?"
"Okay, what can you do with me?"
I haven't seen him in just one month, and Yin Wanjun has lost a lot of weight. Compared with the vigorous and energetic man when we first met, he is now a real middle-aged man.
Mo Shaoqing guessed that all this should have something to do with Mr. Yun.
"I am divorced!"
"Ah?" Mo Shaoqing was so surprised that he almost knocked over the coffee in front of him.
This efficiency is too fast!
"It's time to leave, isn't it?" Yin Wanjun smiled and slowly relaxed.
Yin Wanjun didn't say anything about forgiving him, neither did Mo Shaoqing, and the two chatted for a while.
"This time you went to country F, did you see Ah Qing?" Yin Wanjun asked sideways.
really!
Mo Shaoqing hid his smile and said seriously, "I see."
Yin Wanjun was a little nervous, and he clenched the cup tightly, sweating a little.
"Is he all right?"
Mo Shaoqing shook his head: "Not good."
"Not good?" Yin Wanjun was a little excited.
"Why not? Are you feeling unwell? Or something else?"
Mo Shaoqing took his concern into his eyes, and he didn't understand why the two of them were clearly in love but not together.
But he also knew that the separation of more than twenty years could not be redeemed with a few words.
So he told a lie, but it's not really a lie, Mr. Yun's pretending to be indifferent is clearly something to do.
"Maybe it's because I'm alone!" Mo Shaoqing bit the word "alone" emphatically.
"I can't stay there. Mr. Yun doesn't have a lover or a child to take care of him. He's a big man, so it's inevitable that he can't take good care of him..."
Mo Shaoqing watched the other party's expression while talking, and sure enough, Yin Wanjun looked worried.
Mo Shaoqing took another dose of strong medicine: "That's what I think. I have an old classmate whose aunt is also abroad. She is also divorced. She is about the same age as Mr. Yun..."
"Actually, I wanted to match them up." Mo Shaoqing blinked innocently.
"What did Ah Qing say?"
Hooked!
"Mr. Yun refused..."
"It's fine if you refuse..."
Seeing Yin Wanjun's obviously relieved expression, Mo Shaoqing was secretly happy. Although he didn't have the hobby of being a matchmaker, he was still very happy to help a couple who had been separated for many years due to a misunderstanding, not to mention that the other party was his blood relative.
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Yin Wanjun picked up the hot coffee and quickly took a sip to cover up his panic, but he accidentally got burned.
