Lin Xiang thought, this jerk is too nice to Xiaomai, right? He even wants Xiaomai to advance at the Music Academy, isn’t he treating her like a little housemaid for the family?

"Going to the Music Academy might change your life, why don’t you want to go?" Lin Xiang asked curiously.

"Miss Lin, I’m quite content now, I dare not ask for more."

Anyway, Xiaomai is very satisfied with her life now.

Living in a big villa, having a life without distinctions, occasionally traveling around with Ye Qiu, how good is this life compared to the yard in the orphanage before, Xiaomai feels it’s the difference between heaven and earth.

Lin Xiang shook her head and carried things upstairs.

By around five in the afternoon, checking the time, Xiaomai knew it was time to buy groceries and start cooking dinner.

Now with Lin Xiang, and Li Qianqian, and even Li Qianqian’s friends, she’d have to buy food for several people.

"Miss Lin, how about we go buy groceries?"

"Sure, I’d like to go to the market with you and take a look."

Lin Xiang belonged to a Chinese family in Malaysia, after all, through generations of development, they aren’t short on money.

But she’s not the kind of lady who stays inside a room.

If Xiaomai didn’t invite her to buy groceries, maybe she’d be playing games in her room, but now she’s planning to join Xiaomai.

After going downstairs, Xiaomai took a shopping basket, which made carrying groceries easier.

Xiaomai had her own electric bike, which Chen Fang bought, usually Chen Fang would also ride it to buy groceries when at home.

"Miss Lin, hold on tight."

They rode the electric bike to the nearby food market, taking less than ten minutes, still very close, Xiaomai parked the bike outside and led Lin Xiang inside.

Xiaomai definitely started with pork meat and pork bones.

In Malaysia, many people can’t eat pork, but Lin Xiang doesn’t adhere to that belief, so it’s fine.

Lin Xiang didn’t expect all the stalls she saw were selling pork.

"Xiaomai, how do you choose good pork?"

"Wait, I’ll teach you."

The two chatted as they walked.

What color is fresh pork, how to identify good pork.

Actually, Xiaomai didn’t know at first either, but Chen Fang and Ye Xue taught her, so after practicing, it was indeed different.

If you buy smelly pork, it definitely won’t taste good.

And with the weather so hot now, it’s most likely to get smelly pork.

"Xiaomai, that stall over there seems good, a lot of people are buying there."

Lin Xiang pointed to the pork stall not far away.

Xiaomai already saw it was He Butcher’s family’s stall.

But Xiaomai knew Ye Weidong and his family seemed to have issues with them, anyway, Ye Qiu told her not to get too close.

"Don’t go to that stall, Ye Qiu doesn’t like it."

Ye Qiu doesn’t like it?

What’s up with that?

Lin Xiang was puzzled.

After handing the basket to Lin Xiang, Xiaomai wore a disposable glove for selecting, quickly picking a piece of spare rib.

"This young lady, you’re good at selling meat!"

The lady boss said.

Xiaomai just smiled.

After buying spare ribs, lean meat, and some pork offal, Xiaomai paid and left with Lin Xiang.

Just as the two left, He Xiaoqing naturally saw them.

He Xiaoqing knew Xiaomai was Ye Qiu’s little housekeeper, but didn’t expect she was holding another young lady, who looked quite pretty too.

As He Butcher and his wife were selling meat and chopping bones, they saw their daughter’s gaze naturally noticing Xiaomai and Lin Xiang.

However, some time ago, their daughter’s mood had suddenly turned somber, and it was Ye Qiu who healed her.

Ye Qiu didn’t say much.

But He Butcher’s family knew they no longer had any ties with the Ye family.

As Xiaomai and Lin Xiang left to buy other groceries, Lin Xiang asked, "Xiaomai, why doesn’t Ye Qiu like that pork stall?"

"I’m not very sure either, you should ask Sister Ye Xue."

"Then I’ll ask Sister Ye Xue."

Walking around the market, they bought pork, slaughtered river fish, other seafood, and some vegetables, altogether enough to make eight or nine dishes and two soups, Xiaomai thought it was enough.

She knew most girls don’t eat much, but at least one dish per person.

Leaving the market, riding the electric bike home, Xiaomai looked at Lin Xiang and asked, "Miss Lin, don’t you find the smell of the market unpleasant? Are you okay with it?"

Xiaomai thought Lin Xiang came from an affluent family, different from ordinary people.

"Markets are always like that, it’s no big deal."

Lin family’s main business is rubber, and the smell from newly processed rubber is far worse, Lin Xiang once followed the workers for a week, and didn’t mind it either.

Returning to Peach Blossom Spring Villa, Xiaomai pushed the bike back in, entering she heard chatter.

Sure enough, she saw Li Qianqian, Zhou Muling, and Han Xiaowan watching TV.

Seeing Xiaomai and Lin Xiang return, Li Qianqian knew both of them.

Knowing Xiaomai was Ye Qiu’s little housekeeper, and this Lin Xiang was a young Chinese from Malaysia.

As Xiaomai and Lin Xiang went to help in the kitchen, Li Qianqian said, "Xiaomai, need any help? I’ve spent the summer with my mother learning to cook."

"Miss Li, you can cook too?"

This surprised Xiaomai even more.

This Li Qianqian was the daughter of the mayor.

Let alone village head’s daughter, even in the orphanage Xiaomai rarely met such people, now being the mayor’s daughter, she didn’t expect the other could cook.

"I’ve learned quite a while, not sure if it tastes good. I’ll make a tomato scrambled egg for Ye Qiu later."

The three girls were busy in the kitchen when Ye Qiu returned to his room, turned on the computer, and played games.

Monster Continent still has many players, it’s quite stable, and continually updated.

For this kind of monster-fighting leveling game, Ye Qiu knew it was a representative game of its type, though cheats were hard, while gun battle games easily had cheats, often ruining them.

Earlier Li Qianqian and Zhou Muling visited, Ye Qiu couldn’t be bothered, telling them to go watch TV downstairs.

He kept playing until after seven in the evening when Li Qianqian came upstairs to his room saying, "Ye Qiu, I cooked a dish, you must try it later."

"Not just fried eggs, right?"

"A bit harder than fried eggs."

Ye Qiu went downstairs to wash his hands, seeing several dishes on the table, mostly he liked, clearly all made by Xiaomai.

"Ye Qiu, this is the tomato scrambled egg I made."

Li Qianqian put a piece of egg in Ye Qiu’s bowl, her face full of anticipation.
