In the shelter, Chen Xin was rarely busy in the kitchen.

Since he started to take charge of the scientific research center, he has rarely had time to cook by himself.

One is that there are too many things, and when you are busy every day, you rarely have time to cook by yourself. On the other hand, it is because the entire scientific research center has a complete logistics support system, so if you don’t need it, you will have food to eat if you don’t need it.

The fact that cooking in person has become more and more casual that Chen Xin occasionally uses to relax himself.

Of course, this so-called "casual" is extremely luxurious in today's environment.

After all, even if the Yan Kingdom can ensure that ordinary people don’t have to worry about food and drink, the ecological agriculture that Chen Xin wanted to study before has now achieved certain results, but it only allows ordinary people to eat enough.

It is almost impossible to eat whatever you want and eat well like before the disaster.

It is rare to have enough food and clothing for three meals. Although it is not impossible to make something that you want to eat in this situation, it is also very rare.

If the couple is calculated as an ordinary family of three, if they have a job and can get extra food rations, the quota obtained by working hard for one month can not only meet the daily needs of the three people, but also save some fresh vegetables, fruits or meat to improve the food.

But this is like the 80s and 1990s when ordinary people ate meat once or twice a week at home. It is a food improvement, not daily life.

As for Chen Xin, even if it is not included in the ecological planting greenhouse of the research center outside, his own greenhouse can be kept in constant vegetables and fruits every day.

Although the only one type of chicken is produced in meat, and the number is limited, it is impossible to kill chickens every now and then, but it is still possible to kill chickens for ten days and half a month, and eggs are even more inclusive.

What's more, Chen Xin can get additional special rations every month, which is enough to ensure his food type.

This also makes Chen Xin capable of cooking by himself in such a shortage of supplies and treating it as a kind of relaxation.

However, although there was no shortage of supplies on hand, Chen Xin did not cook many dishes. He only stir-fryed two side dishes and stewed a pot of soup.

"Why are you in the mood to cook in person today? I haven't seen you cook for a long time." Qin Lan, who passed by, smelled the food, walked to the kitchen, looked at the dishes placed on the dining table by Chen Xin, and asked curiously.

Chen Xin smiled, took down the soup pot on the stove, and then said to Qin Lan: "I just came back from my busy schedule. I suddenly felt hungry and wanted to have some midnight snacks. I saw that there were ingredients in the refrigerator, so I planned to make some midnight snacks and drink two cups. I'm a little too tired recently. Why haven't you been asleep yet?"

"I can't sleep a little." Qin Lan shook her head, took two cups from the cabinet next to her, and sat down at the table.

"Have you ever had any worries recently?" Chen Xin took out the wine he had originally planned to drink by himself, poured a glass of it for Qin Lan before asking her with concern.

Chen Xin remembered that before he went to Lucia, Qin Lan seemed to have something to say to him, but he didn't say it out because he was interrupted.

Seeing Qin Lan's current appearance, Chen Xin felt that she must have something to do and had never found a suitable opportunity to tell her, so she took the initiative to ask.

Seeing Chen Xin asking, Qin Lan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It's about marriage."

"Marry?" Chen Xin was stunned. Qin Lan would suddenly talk about marriage, which was indeed beyond his expectations: "How can I talk about this well?"

"It's aunt." Qin Lan raised her cup and took a sip, then continued: "When I went to the southwest before, my aunt asked Qingyan and me and asked when you would get married."

When Qin Lan talked about this, her face turned red to her ears, but she still raised her head and looked at Chen Xin seriously, looking forward to his reply.

"Ah? This..." Chen Xin didn't expect Qin Lan to suddenly talk about this.

After all, he now has two girlfriends strictly. According to national laws, he can only marry one of them when he gets married, and anyone who marrys will be sorry for the other.

As for the two of them marrying each other, it is actually not much different from now, it is nothing more than a matter of status.

But this problem is not easy to solve. Even if Chen Xin has made a lot of contributions to the country now and can enjoy special treatment, this special treatment is not enough to allow him to marry two wives, so Chen Xin has never considered this matter.

Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan also had the same considerations and did not force Chen Xin to say that they would get married or something.

However, no one of the three of them would have thought that Chen Xin's mother would suddenly ask about this matter, which made Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan not know how to deal with this matter.

Mo Qingyan chose to pretend to be dead and did not talk about this. Instead, she felt that it would be better for everything to maintain the status quo and no one would feel uncomfortable.

As for Qin Lan, although she thought it would be better to maintain the status quo, she still planned to tell Chen Xin about this matter.

And the most important thing is that she had never thought about marrying Chen Xin.

No matter what, when she was dating Chen Xin, both of them developed into a cohabitation relationship, and they had considered getting married before.

Later, the two got together again, and Qin Lan never thought about marrying Chen Xin, which was impossible.

Although he has agreed to the current relationship between the three people, he will always be a little unwilling to accept it.

But Qin Lan also understood that if she had to come up with a result, it was very likely that only three of them would be unhappy, so she just mentioned this matter to Chen Xin and did not want to do anything.

Of course, Chen Xin knew what Qin Lan meant and attitude he was, but he could not express his position on this matter.

"My mother..." Chen Xin wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only say to Qin Lan: "I will tell my mother about this."

"Auntie mainly cares about you and hopes you can live a happy life." Qin Lan was afraid that Chen Xin and his mother would have a dispute, so she added: "So A Xin, don't stand up with your aunt, just follow her wishes, as for this matter..."

Qin Lan said this and did not continue.

Although I really want to tell Chen Xin that he doesn't mind, it's really impossible not to mind.

"I'm sorry for you and Qingyan." Chen Xin comforted her by seeing Qin Lan's appearance.

But this kind of comfort is too light, which makes Chen Xin always feel that he owes Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan.
