Chapter 238 Finally at ease
As she spoke, Su Qingxue leaned back, not wanting to touch her again.
"This is outrageous! The seafood here is all frozen, and it looks completely different from what you see in the video. I don't even want to look at it, let alone eat it."
The two then looked at the remaining items.
The meat filling in the steamed buns was dry, the lean and fatty parts were separated, and there was no broth as shown in the video.
The filling inside the custard bun was a bit hard, and the color was too yellow, giving it a food coloring feel.
The fried cakes were fried for a long time, and the outer skin became very soft.
The millet porridge was unusually sticky; it looked like it had been thickened with starch water.
There was also lotus leaf pork rib soup, but there were very few pork ribs in it, and the ribs didn't look fresh; they were probably all frozen.
In the breakfast industry, this quality is only considered mid-to-lower tier. Any decent family-run breakfast shop has the husband and wife getting up in the early morning to make it by hand.
Su Qingxue looked at the food on the table and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now I can finally rest easy. It was just a paper tiger all along."
"But those videos were really too realistic. If you hadn't brought me to see them, I would have been completely kept in the dark."
Chen Yuan looked at the untouched food in the bag and habitually reached out.
"You paid for this, don't waste it, give it to me."
Su Qingxue grabbed his hand.
"Don't eat anymore. I know you're worried about wasting food, but don't worry, it won't go to waste."
She already had a plan in mind. She opened the car door, walked to the roadside, and approached a sanitation worker. She handed him the intact custard buns, fried cakes, and other items.
I don't know what they said, but they turned around and came back.
Su Qingxue closed the car door and fastened her seatbelt.
"Let's go, I'm starving. I know a pretty good Sichuan restaurant up ahead. That's it for today's restaurant exploration. I need to eat something proper."
Chen Yuan started the car, a natural smile appearing on his lips.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Chen Yuan wasn't good at eating spicy food, and this Sichuan restaurant was very authentic.
After finishing his meal, Chen Yuan had already gotten a free lip filler and drunk most of a bottle of water, but his lips were still burning.
Su Qingxue laughed heartily.
Chen Yuan couldn't resist reaching out and gently poking her forehead.
"You're always making fun of me. If I'd known this dish was so spicy, I wouldn't have eaten it."
The two arrived at the parking lot. After Chen Yuan got into the car, he pointed to the trunk and said...
"I also brought you some free snacks from our breakfast shop: beef chili oil and three small pickled vegetables. If you're just having porridge in the morning and it's not very flavorful, then have some pickled vegetables."
"Also, summer is here, so be sure to take precautions against heatstroke and stay home as much as possible."
"If you feel unwell, remember to call me immediately. Don't try to tough it out at home, okay?"
Su Qingxue accepted all of this concern without question.
"You've really won over the hearts of everyone in our family now. To be honest, we can't do without your millet porridge these days."
"Didn't it get interrupted for a while? My mom couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning. She kept asking me when you'd reopen, and if you could make some and send it over to us, etc."
Chen Yuan said, "I'm glad you like it."
Su Qingxue then casually asked, "By the way, how's Xia Qing doing? Has the cochlear implant surgery been scheduled? Do you need my help finding someone? Or can I contribute some money or something?"
She looked up and found Chen Yuan staring at her with a half-smile.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No, I was just wondering, where did you get so much money? Are you hiding something from me? You wouldn't even let me ask about the 200 million last time, but this time you're offering to pay me again."
Su Qingxue smiled gently: "Oh, please don't ask anymore. I'll definitely tell you when the time is right."
Seeing this, Chen Yuan stopped asking questions and picked up his phone to check the time, which was 2:30 pm.
"Since you're so concerned, why don't we go and take a look together? Actually, I'm quite concerned too. The pre-operative examinations are all done, and all the indicators are within the normal range. Grandma has been going to the hospital every day these past few days, just waiting for the final signature."
"It should be just the right time to go now. You don't have anything planned for this afternoon, right?"
Su Qingxue nodded gently and said without hesitation.
"Okay, let's go then, but we can't go empty-handed. How about you stop up ahead and we go to the supermarket for a bit?"
"That's a good idea."
The two arrived at a large Hualian supermarket.
I picked out quite a few things.
Not all of them were for Xia Qing; a significant portion was also for her maternal grandmother.
Su Qingxue was carrying two boxes of biscuits for the elderly: "I figured they wouldn't be in the mood to cook during this time, so I bought some biscuits for them to eat, something to tide them over."
"Go buy some more millet and dried scallops, and have them cook some porridge."
"Yes, and calcium supplements too. How about two cartons of milk? And two packets of protein powder? They can both drink it to supplement their protein intake and help them recover faster."
Chen Yuan naturally listened to her completely and even praised her, saying, "Qingxue, you are really thoughtful, much better than me."
After selecting their items, the two headed to the hospital.
The hospital's inpatient corridor was very quiet, and there was a smell of disinfectant.
Chen Yuan carried the heavy items, while Su Qingxue gently pushed open the door to room 307.
There are three beds in the room, but Xia Qing is the only one living there. At this moment, she is leaning against the pillows, typing on her phone.
Upon seeing the person who arrived, a smile instantly spread across her somewhat pale face.
Seeing that she wanted to get up, Su Qingxue quickly went to her side and pressed her down.
"Lie still and don't move. We just came to see you, no need to be so polite."
Xia Qing had a smile on her face the whole time. Then she took out her phone and her fingers flew across the screen.
Why are you here?
Su Qingxue pulled over a stool and sat down, then took out her phone to type.
[Just came to see you. You have surgery tomorrow, are you nervous? I brought you some food and supplies. You need to rest well after the surgery and eat more to recover well. Where is your grandma?]
Thank you for remembering me. Grandma went to the restroom at the end of the hallway and should be back soon.
After a few rounds, the familiar sound of a cane tapping on the ground came from outside the door, along with a few soft coughs.
Xia Qing's maternal grandmother pushed open the door, carrying a basin filled with freshly washed clothes.
"Oh dear, what brings you all here? You didn't even tell me beforehand. Look, I wasn't prepared at all."
