Witty Wife, Better Life-Chapter 852 - 842 How Old Are You Now

Han Yinhao, while working, according to plan, asked Shen Yunfang, the host, about the wheat field on the farm. Shen Yunfang, while answering, subtly advertised and mentioned the delicious dishes that could be made from the wheat.

This made Han Yinhao salivate so much that he immediately yelled out that he wanted to eat Feiyang’s wheat delicacies.

This wasn’t in the script; it was Han Yinhao, the foodie, improvising on the spot.

Consequently, at noon, Shen Yunfang made Han Yinhao a scallion pancake using freshly milled wheat flour, accompanied by simple shredded potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which delighted the foodie Han Yinhao immensely.

In the afternoon, it was time to experience grinding wheat flour personally. To motivate the foodie, Shen Yunfang said if he could grind enough flour, she would make him a meal of dumplings in the evening. There’s a saying in China, "dumplings for the departing," traditionally eaten when seeing off someone about to embark on a journey. Since Han Yinhao would be leaving once the shooting was done, it could be considered seeing him off, so making dumplings for him was fitting.

Because the "dumplings" carrot was dangling in front of him, Han Yinhao spent the whole afternoon tirelessly working like a little donkey at the mill, nearly collapsing in the millhouse by the end.

However, Shen Yunfang kept her promise and made him a final meal of pure meat dumplings. Shen Yunfang was quick with her hands, making beautifully shaped dumplings that utterly amazed Han Yinhao.

After tasting the dumplings, he subconsciously gave a thumbs up and repeatedly shouted "very good" to Shen Yunfang.

The first season of "The Life We Long For" Feiyang edition concluded successfully, spanning two days. Although both guests and hosts, as well as all the staff behind the scenes, were exhausted, the end result was pleasing. Although the footage hadn’t been edited yet, Director Yuan had already declared the quality of the recording was excellent and it would definitely be a hit show.

Shen Yunfang was very confident about this; she had been hooked the first time she watched a reality show, and now having moved it forward by a long time, it warranted a different effect.

On the third day at noon, Shen Yunfang hosted a feast for Han Yinhao and all his staff, bidding a reluctant farewell to Mr. Han afterward.

Mr. Li, who was accompanying them, also sighed with relief in his heart; finally, the pretty boy was gone, and his wife would return to cooking for him.

In these two days, while his wife was shooting the show, he had lived miserably, eating swill and sleeping in a hay bed...

In short, the return of Shen Yunfang greatly pleased Li Hongjun.

With the first season shot, the participant for the second season had also been decided; they would come over next weekend to shoot. Conveniently, this period included Goudan’s wedding, and as the aunt, Shen Yunfang now had time to help out.

Everything that needed to be purchased had already been bought by Wang Dan and Cui Ying, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. As the aunt, Shen Yunfang took Cui Ying and her husband to a large department store and bought clothes to be worn on their wedding day. These clothes were akin to a wedding dress in the future; Shen Yunfang wanted to buy something nice for the child. But Cui Ying didn’t agree to it, saying everything that needed to be bought had been purchased, and buying more would be a waste.

With no other choice, Shen Yunfang ended up picking two brightly colored and moderately priced pieces of clothing, just for the sentiment.

Finally, the wedding day arrived. At this time, there weren’t as many wedding procedures as in the future, of course, which was also proposed by Goudan and his partner. They didn’t have much money, and there were still debts to be settled outside. Cui Ying was practical, so they didn’t want to have a complicated ceremony. In the end, they decided to go register and get their marriage certificate early in the morning in the city, and just invite everyone to enjoy a meal in the cafeteria at noon, and that’s it.

On that day, Wang Dan and Li Hongxing couldn’t stop smiling. Their son and daughter-in-law had bought a house in the city, and their household registration was now officially in the city too; that meant they were city folks now, with stable food supplies and their kids could attend school in the city. How could this rural couple not be thrilled?

At the cafeteria, Wang Dan made a special point in front of everyone to give Cui Ying, her daughter-in-law, a big gold ring to show how pleased she was with her.

Naturally, this led to a round of teasing from everyone. They all said Wang Dan was doing a great job as a mother-in-law, and that Goudan and his wife should really look after the elders. Cui Ying, gracious as ever, accepted the ring and promised in front of everyone that she and Goudan would honor both their parents.

Wang Dan might not have grasped the full implication of those words, but Shen Yunfang and her husband did. Still, they believed it was a child’s duty to respect their parents even after marriage, so they listened happily. As for the future problems of Goudan’s household, Wang Dan wasn’t concerned; she was just playing the role of matchmaker for today.

For today’s banquet, Shen Yunfang had instructed the head chef to go all out. Nearly two hundred workers gathered, filling twenty tables in the cafeteria. To make the wedding feast special, Shen Yunfang even ordered a pig to be slaughtered. One could only imagine how rich the dishes on the tables would be; it was as festive as the New Year.

The next morning when Li Hongjun got up to exercise, Shen Yunfang woke up as well.

"Why don’t you sleep a little longer?" Li Hongjun asked as he dressed.

Yesterday was Goudan’s wedding; even though things had been organized in advance, she had still been busy all day.

"I’m not sleeping anymore. The second phase of the shooting starts the day after tomorrow, and although I’m just a temporary presenter, I still have to ’strike the bell while being a monk’ for a day."

Li Hongjun frowned when his wife mentioned this. "You’re already of a significant age; it’s not really appropriate for you to keep doing this. Maybe you should look for someone else..."

A pillow flew at him. "Li Hongjun, what do you mean? How old do you think I am?"

It’s a sensitive topic for any woman to be told she’s getting older, especially by her own husband. Besides, she was not that old; she hadn’t even turned thirty yet, still being in her twenties.

Li Hongjun couldn’t help but laugh after dodging the pillow; it had been a long time since he had seen his wife lose her temper like that.

"Heh heh, you won’t admit you’re old, huh? Look at our two kids, how big they are already, and you’re still acting like a young girl."

Shen Yunfang choked, could she be blamed for marrying early?

The couple was all playful that morning, causing quite a stir. Li Hongjun saw that he still had a little time, so he hurriedly hugged his wife to console her; if he didn’t make amends now, he’d be returning from morning exercise to drink cold water.

Finally, after Li Hongjun left the house, Shen Yunfang immediately ran to the dressing table to look in the mirror. For years, she had considered herself quite young and never bothered much with skincare. Now, realizing she was nearly thirty, she wondered if wrinkles had started to appear.

After inspecting her face closely in the mirror and confirming her skin was still as smooth as an egg, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. But it was a wakeup call; it was time to put beauty treatments on her agenda.
