Unpredictable Marriage.

Chen Lihua purposely came to distract him, because she knew he wasn't happy after the discovery at the drug store that morning.

She knew he wouldn't be in his best mood, so she purposely came to play with him, in other to distract him from any thought that would be going on in his mind.

Some minutes later, Chen Lihua came back to his room with a servant pushing in a trolley of food.

"I wanted something simple and you decided to bring the whole food to me." Liu Longwei said as he glanced at the food, and then at her.

"You've been working for a long time, and you still have a lot to do. So you need to eat a lot of food to replenish your energy." Chen Lihua said as she helped the servant to put the plates of food o the table.

After the table was set, the servants left the study room after pushing the trolley to a corner.

"Husband, your food is served, come, and have some." Chen Lihua called out to him with a smile on her face.

"Alright, your husband is coming." Liu Longwei replied as he left his study table for the little sitting area, with a document in hand.

Chen Lihua snatched the document from his hand immediately he sat on the sofa. "Who comes to eat with a working document in hand?."

"Your husband." Liu Longwei replied as he picked up his cutlery.

Chen Lihua smiled as she said, "Let me introduce the dishes I specially asked the chefs to make for you."

Liu Longwei put down his cutleries as he gestured to her to start with a smile on his face.

 "Winter is the best time to adopt a healthy diet for nutritional supplement and speeding up the metabolism, so I made some research in search of our traditional dishes that are suitable for winter, so here they are."

Then she went ahead to introduce the first dish.

"This is stewed mutton with radishes. I asked the chefs to add some medicinal herbs to the soup. You know, stew based on nourishing ingredients and some medicinal herbs can help protect us from the cold and dryness, stay warm, and build a healthy body in winter."

(Stewed Mutton with Radishes is a popular Chinese food in winter for mutton could protect people against cold, and radishes could boost the immunity of our body. Boil lamb brisket loaves and remove the scums, pick them out. Then peel the radish and roll cut it into loaves. Stew the boiled mutton and radish loaves together with the root of straight lady bell for 2-3 hours. When the mutton is tender, season with salt). 

"The second dish is Beef stewed with potatoes. This particular dish is rich in various nutrients so that it achieves the effects to strengthen immunity, improve looks, and improve anemia. Isn't that great?." Chen Lihua asked in excitement.

"Mmmmm. It looks so good, but why did you put so little of it? All it needs is just three tablespoons, and the whole dish is gone." Liu Longwei asked in confusion as he glanced at the dish, and then at his wife, with the gaze that was demanding an explanation.

"The reason the Beef stewed with potatoes is looking so fresh and appetizing, is because, it was braised, which can better preserve the nutrients of the ingredients. Although the food contains valuable and nutritious ingredients, it is not good to eat too much of it, as it is difficult to digest. Do you get the point now?." Chen Lihua asked with a proud smile on her face.

"Mmmmm." Liu Longwei nodded in response. This time around, his sight was in the food. 

He doesn't know the reason his wife decided to torture him today. She brought food for him, and instead of letting him eat it, she made him stare at the food while listening to her explain the health benefits of the food. I mean who does that?

Well, his wife is currently doing that to him, and she is already an example. What more can he say?.

"The last dish is Glutinous rice balls." Chen Lihua said as she winked her eye and went ahead to say a few sentences about the dish.

She was proud of herself without knowing that her husband didn't even pay attention when she was explaining the other dishes.

(Glutinous Rice Balls is a popular Chinese food as well as the traditional festival food on Lantern Festival, to symbolize family reunion and happiness. In some places in southern China, people eat it on Winter Solstice as well. According to Chinese medicine theory, glutinous rice benefits the human body and can keep out the coldness. As humans are easier to get a cold in winter, the hot Glutinous Rice Balls would be a good choice. The common fillings are sweet black sesame paste and peanut paste.)

"I used sweet black sesame paste and peanut paste for the filling, and then I boiled it together with some rice wine. This helps the function of keeping out the coldness, to be better."

After saying the above sentence, Chen Lihua sat on the sofa with a proud smile on her face. She felt like someone that has achieved a lot.

"Can I eat now?." Liu Longwei asked with an exhausted look on his face.

"Oh Yes! Please go ahead." Chen Lihua said with a smile on her face as she handed the tablespoon to him. She didn't even detect that something was wrong.

'How could she be so happy and satisfied from just introducing the dishes to me, Is this part of the pregnancy weird behavior?' Liu Longwei thought as he sent a spoon of stewed mutton with radish into his mouth.

Liu Longwei found her behavior strange, but he refused to say anything about it.

He wasn't even in the mood to say anything, as the only thing on his mind was to eat and get back to work.

"Darling, how do you see the dishes? Do you like them?." Chen Lihua asked as she gazed at him with a smile on her face.

She seemed more than comfortable watching him eat. It would be better to say that she enjoyed watching him eat more than anything.

"They are delicious." Liu Longwei replied truthfully before sending another spoon of food into his mouth.
