PNB Chapter 85 Daily Life with Yukiko
Chapter 85 Daily Life with Yukiko
The two of them slept soundly like that.
The next day, it was just dawn.
When Yukiko woke up, she found that the person next to her was gone. She called out a few times but received no response, so she prepared to go back to sleep.
However, Su Xingbo was carrying plates downstairs and ran up the stairs, gently opening the door.
He patted Yukiko and said softly, "Little darling, it's time to get up and eat breakfast. Even if you don't eat, you have to make sure the baby in your tummy eats something."
Yukiko had no choice but to sit up, leaning against the bed with her eyes still closed and her mouth agape, waiting to be fed.
How to deal with this situation?
Pamper me.
Su Xingbo fed him bite by bite. These were sweet potatoes and purple rice that he had bought early in the morning and cooked for a long time.
Seeing that Yukiko had finished eating everything, he felt that all his hard work had been worthwhile.
After finishing her meal, she went back to bed and continued sleeping.
Su Xingbai carefully carried the empty bowl out, opening and closing the door with great care, only relaxing his grip slightly after closing it.
After washing and arranging the items neatly, he took out his phone and called the workers.
"How's the construction going? How long will it take to complete?"
When the person on the other end hesitated and didn't give a precise answer, Su Xingbo went straight to the point and asked.
"How much longer will it take to complete? I'm already waiting to move in."
Only then did the worker give the answer: they could move in three months later.
They have enough manpower, and with two shifts and working overtime, they can finish in about two months. However, if you want to move in, you'll have to wait another month.
After all, there is still formaldehyde in the new house, even though they have reduced it a lot according to regulations, there is still some.
Half a month would have been enough time to dissipate the virus, but to be on the safe side, he added another month for added security.
After listening, Su Xingbo felt there was no problem and hung up the phone. He could accept three months; Yukiko was only two months pregnant. If he got busy in a while, he would just bring Akemi to live here as well.
Forget it, it's safer to have Yukiko stay with Akemi.
Gin knew that he was pretending to be Shinichi Kudo. If he suddenly came over and found him holding a pregnant woman in his arms, the scene would be quite something.
Just thinking about it made him feel uneasy all over.
I need to tell Akemi about this as soon as possible and bring Yukiko over so that Akemi can take care of her while he's not around.
He didn't trust anyone else, and as for Sonoko and Ayako, they were probably busy developing new projects.
They're even busier than I am, so where would they find the extra time to take care of Yukiko?
As for Ran, needless to say, I need to completely win her over before Yukiko is born.
After hanging up the phone, Su Xingbo turned and walked towards the bedroom. He gently pushed open the door and saw Yukiko still fast asleep, a faint smile on her lips. He tiptoed to the bedside and sat down, quietly watching her sleeping face.
Suddenly, Yukiko turned over to face him, mumbling sleepily, "I want this porridge again tomorrow, it tastes so good."
Su Xingbo gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Okay, as long as you like it, I'll make it for you again tomorrow."
"Hmm, don't lie to me. What are we having for lunch?"
He thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with a specific idea of what to eat, so he asked.
"What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go buy it and cook it for you."
Yukiko opened her sleepy eyes, which were almost closed into slits, and said in a coquettish tone.
"I want to eat Sichuan pepper steak for lunch."
Su Xingbo couldn't help but rub his forehead and smile wryly, "That's a bit spicy, can your body handle that right now?"
"I don't care, I don't care, I want to eat Sichuan pepper beef steak for lunch, otherwise I won't eat lunch at all." Yukiko rolled around on the bed, and then turned her back to him.
Helpless, Su Xingbai had no choice but to agree. As for how to do it, that was his business, right?
"Okay, I promise you. You can sleep a little longer. I'll bring the steak up for you when it's ready for lunch."
When Yukiko learned that she could eat Sichuan pepper beef steak, she was as happy as a little girl, and sat up and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
"What? Still sleeping? Are you really going to raise me like a pig? Fine, fine, the steak is ready, remember to call me down to eat." Yukiko couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. In the end, under Su Xingbo's strong insistence, she had no choice but to lie down and pretend to sleep.
After Su Xingbo left, Yukiko opened her eyes and started pacing around, probably thinking of some naughty idea.
"Click."
Su Xingbo launched a surprise attack, and as expected, he guessed right.
"Lie down and go to sleep right now, or I'll spank you as punishment."
Yukiko was numb and lay down resignedly.
As the door closed again, Yukiko dared not try to find out if the person had left or not, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep counting the lambs.
However, Su Xingbo had already set off for the supermarket. There was practically nothing at home, so he had to go out to buy things.
After buying fresh steaks, I also bought a lot of fruit, and finally got into the car carrying two large bags.
After getting home, I first washed and cut the fruit, then put it on a plate so that Xizi could eat it when she woke up.
Then start processing the steak. Let the steak come to room temperature, pat dry with kitchen paper towels, and sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper evenly on both sides.
As for the next step, Sichuan peppercorns, that's impossible. Even a complete novice like him knows that pregnant women shouldn't eat spicy food.
So he's preparing black pepper steak, which isn't spicy and is definitely safe for pregnant women to eat.
However, we need to disguise it, otherwise she'll spot it at a glance, and that wouldn't be good.
Once everything is ready, add olive oil to a frying pan and heat it. Then add the steak and sear over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
After searing the steak to a golden brown, add chopped garlic and ginger, and sauté in the oil in the pan until fragrant.
Add a small amount of soy sauce, cooking wine, and sugar, and stir-fry quickly to allow the steak to absorb the flavors of the seasonings.
Once the steak is cooked to the desired doneness, remove it from the pan and place it on a plate. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Finally, slice the steak and place some fresh vegetables on the side. Eating steak all the time can get boring, and the vegetables can help to cut through the richness.
After finishing my chores, I realized it was almost 11:30, so I took the fruit plate upstairs to see if Yukiko had woken up yet.
