After the last get out of class on Sunday morning, Lin Lu also had his only half-day break in a week.
Forgive him for not wanting to use the word "holiday" to describe this half-day period. "Holiday" or something like that must be at least three days or more to be able to make people excited, right?
In fact, after entering his senior year of high school, except for the short half month during the Chinese New Year, Lin Lu had not experienced more than three days of vacation for a long time.
"Let's go, Brother Lu, do you want to go online?"
"I'm not going, I'd better go home and take a nap."
"Brother Lu, you need to stand up! How can you waste your youth on sleeping?!"
"Go away, you guys have had enough sleep in class. I'm so sleepy right now."
Lin Lu also plays games, but he is not as high-minded as Liu Pang and others. It is just a pastime.
Fatty Liu and the others are great. They check the cellphones of the dormitory students strictly. In order to prevent the dormitory from catching them playing games at night, Fatty Liu and the others immediately go back to the dormitory to sleep after their self-study class in the evening, and then wait until four or five o'clock in the morning.
When I woke up at 4:00 a.m., the dormitory manager had stopped checking the rooms, so they took advantage of four or five o'clock in the morning to make points.
Li Xingruo described: "Carrots are super unpalatable! When the taste enters your mouth, it makes you choke and feel uncomfortable. The hairs on your back will stand up, and the crunchy texture after chewing is even more terrible, as if you are chewing something inedible!"
"Eat."
"What time did you end the hot pot dinner last night?"
"How do you know that braised pork trotters is my favorite?!"
"Hey, it's rare that I have time to prepare them on weekends. These dishes are quite time-consuming and I can't eat them on weekdays. It just so happens that we, the siblings, have some meat dishes~!"
Li Xingruo was wearing an apron, her hair was tied into a ponytail, and her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, revealing two white and tender forearms like tender lotus roots.
"Sister Xingruo bought these vegetables at the market today?"
I received a message from Li Xingruo on my phone.
star: "Is school over?"
"Eat."
Inexplicably, she felt a warm and sweet feeling in her heart. Lin Lu, named her 'brother', seemed to be using some kind of high-strength medicine to corrode her 'sister's heart' bit by bit.
"Yes, we have lived together for four years~"
star: "Okay."
"It smells so good! Sister Xingruo, have you made braised pork?"
"Where's the shallot?"
Lin Lu went out to drink soup, and Li Xingruo breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, what is there that Sister Xingruo doesn't like to eat?"
Li Xingruo took the salt shaker, added a spoonful of salt, stirred it gently with a spoon, then took a bowl and put a little bit in it to taste the saltiness.
This operation shocked Lin Lu to the point of dumbfounding. Sure enough, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
She put down the bowl and spoon, and opened the pressure cooker. The braised pig's trotters had been braised in the pressure cooker until they were soft and tender. The rich aroma of sauce filled the kitchen, and Lin Lu couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she smelled it.
While chatting, watching videos, and eating, Lin Lu was responsible for washing the dishes after dinner.
"Well, it tastes good! Lin Lu, you can drink the soup first, and I'll just fry the vegetables."
"We bought them together when we were making hot pot last night."
I went into the house and picked up Xiao Man, who was basking in the sun on the balcony, and knocked on the door of my neighbor's sister's house.
“So on time!”
"Could it be! Which one of them do you like?"
"...I don't know at all, I just happened to want to eat it."
"Don't you think the smell is very strong?"
"Then the food money I gave you last time was not enough. If not, sister Xingruo, remember to tell me."
"Eat."
"There are still a lot of them. They will all be spent so quickly. Don't worry, if it's not enough, my sister will definitely have to ask you for it."
Li Xingruo's little hands shook, so she added too much salt. She quickly used a spatula to remove the salt on some vegetable leaves, and said angrily: "Stop teasing sister here, get out."
Probably because I was teased by the three women all night while making hot pot last night, which led to more random thoughts. I really should have called Lin Lu over to see if they still dare to chatter...
Li Xingruo had a hot pot dinner with some sisters yesterday, but Lin Lu didn't go. Today at noon, she planned to make something delicious to make up for him.
"It seems that the overall appearance of Sister Xingruo's dormitory is very good!"
She stir-fried vegetables very quickly. When Li Xingruo came out with the vegetables, Lin Lu was already beside her, helping her to pull up a chair. He then set up his iPad on the opposite side and chose a video of cooking.
"Of course, I have walked the road from school to home countless times."
With this look, she really looks as virtuous and gentle as she is.
"What is that braised in soy sauce? It smells like braised in soy sauce!"
"wrong!"
Lin Lu smiled and said naturally: "Among the four sisters, Sister Xingruo is the most beautiful."
She wrapped it in a towel and opened the lid of the casserole for making soup, and the steam rose gently.
“Braised pork trotters~”
"Where's the bitter melon?"
"carrot!"
"Pork bones, candied dates, dried longans, dangshen, wolfberry, polygonatum odorifera, barley, and red dates are stewed together! It's very sweet!"
Li Xingruo sat at the dining table, holding his chin with his hands, looking at Lin Lu's slightly clumsy but serious back as he washed the dishes.
Like before, because they wanted to watch a video together, the two naturally sat side by side.
At 12:20, Lin Lu returned home on time.
"It tastes really wild, but it's okay, it's a little bit heady!"
"How dare I."
"That's not true."
Is this what it feels like to have a man at home...
"Well, it seems to be around eight o'clock."
"Then it seems that our tastes are very similar, except that you can eat spicy food better, and I can't eat spicy food. Do you eat coriander?"
In the past, Lin Lu would go back to his mother's place to eat during holidays. Now that Li Xingruo is cooking for him, his mother's side will not go there. In order to avoid having to go all the way, he might as well spend more time sleeping.
"It's such a rich day today."
"Is it more difficult for Sister Xingruo to accept it than Zheergen?" Lin Lu blinked, unable to understand why carrots are so unpalatable.
"Zheergen? It's Houttuynia cordata, right? I think it's pretty good, it won't taste bad."
Lu: "I just got on the bus. I should be home at 12:20."
Lin Lu put down the little fat cat and walked into the house to smell the rich aroma of food. It was really satisfying to be able to smell the aroma of food as soon as he came home.
"What kind of soup is this?"
After school, Lin Lu squeezed out of the school gate with the crowd and got on the bus home.
Li Xingruo was washing the pot and preparing to stir-fry vegetables. Lin Lu took a bowl and helped to fill two bowls of soup. He brought the bowl to the dining table and came back with a plate to help put the braised pig's trotters in the pressure cooker.
"Are those three sisters from the same dormitory as Sister Xingruo?"
Fortunately, he finally noticed the school uniform on his body, and Li Xingruo patted his face - wake up!
Sure enough, you still have to keep a good distance! Your aunt is so enthusiastic about you, how dare you have such outrageous fantasies about your aunt's son who is still in high school!!
'That's right, at least we have to wait until he takes off his school uniform before talking...'
