After bidding farewell to the two of them, she went back to the town to tidy up, and picked up the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits given to faculty and staff by the school - two kilograms of moon cakes and a pot of oil. She hurried back to her old house in the fishing village before dark, planning to catch a ride with her uncle the next morning.
The boat goes to Fuju Island.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Just as she was taking the key to open the door, Mr. Lu's faint voice came from behind.
Did you hear that right?
Xu Suizhu turned around in confusion and found that it was really him.
I was extremely puzzled: "Why are you here? Aren't you on the island?"
Lu Chixiao glanced at her angrily, took the key from her hand, and opened the courtyard door.
Bian said: "Tomorrow is the National Day, and it is impossible for school not to have a holiday. Everyone thought you would be back this afternoon..."
Well, that's what he thought. But after everyone heard what he said, they also thought that she would go back to Fuju Island in the afternoon.
"My aunt cooked a table of dishes and waited for you to go back and eat together. But when the sun went down and my uncle was about to come back, I didn't see my brother-in-law taking you back to the island. I felt worried about it, so I came with my uncle's boat.
I just followed my brother-in-law to share the wedding candies I bought last time, but you still didn’t come back, so I wanted to go visit the town."
Xu Suizhu raised his head and said: "I am such a big man, can anything happen?"
After receiving the look in Big Brother Lu's eyes, he remembered the dark history of being kidnapped by Hei Pi San... He was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of ropes for ten years. This incident almost scared everyone.
But even so, don't think she doesn't know that Xiao Xu has been secretly protecting her. This guy didn't tell her. How about she enjoy boss-level treatment?
"You are coming and going, is your injury okay? Do you want to accompany you to the health center?" Xu Suizhu half changed the subject, and half was really worried about his injuries. Are there any fracture patients like him?
Go to the island and leave the island in a short while.
After looking at him, I remembered the working hours of the health center and frowned: "At this point, the health center doesn't know whether to close or not."
The hospital in town closes early, and usually after four o'clock, there are no doctors available except the nurses on duty. It's already past six o'clock now, and maybe even the nurses are off work.
When Mr. Lu saw her, his first reaction was to be concerned about his injuries. He felt worried. He raised the corners of his mouth with a slight arc and took the lead to walk in: "My thick skin and thick flesh recovered quickly, and I'm almost healed. But you, how about you?"
I've lost a lot of weight. Have you eaten? If not, I'll give you a bowl of noodles."
He didn't say it was okay, but when he did, Xu Suizhu was really hungry.
He stroked his hungry belly, recalling the egg noodles he cooked in his old house in Kyoto, and said with a smile: "Then let's have some goose egg noodles, thank you, boss!"
"Pi!" Lu Chixiao patted her on the head, pushed up the sleeves of his shirt, and got into the kitchen to cook noodles for the child's mother.
"Where do goose eggs come from?"
Lu Chixiao thought she was joking, but he didn't expect that when he opened the cabinet door under the cupboard, he found a basket of big goose eggs.
"This is a gift from the student's parents." Xu Suizhu was washing the pot and boiling water. Hearing this, he replied, "You can cook two, no, three. Let's have one each, and one for Xiao Xu. He has worked hard these days. The rest is
I'll take him to the island tomorrow and give Doudou some extra food."
Mr. Lu thought for a while and decided not to cook the noodles. He cracked three large goose eggs, beat them up and put some salt on them. He scooped in a few spoonfuls of flour, mixed them with water to make a batter, and fried three pieces of golden rice with a fragrant onion aroma.
One piece of goose egg cake was given to Xiao Xu, who was still on duty outside the house, and he was sent to sleep first.
Use the remaining egg liquid to make a bowl of seaweed and shrimp soup.
Work dry and wet together.
"The noodles are too hot. I don't know what time it will be after I finish eating. I made an omelette for you. Sit down and eat."
He handed the chopsticks to her hand and barely started feeding her.
This treatment... Xu Suizhu didn't show it on her face, but she felt happy in her heart.
While eating and chatting, we heard that Lin Yujuan and Mr. Fu had returned to Kyoto to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together. But they found out too late that they couldn’t prepare some gifts for them to take to their prospective parents-in-law. Fortunately, they had sent a package to Kyoto a few days ago.
If something unexpected happens, I should be able to arrive before the Mid-Autumn Festival...
"It's okay if you can't get there. Don't you think the good things Mom took away from you are still few?"
"..." He was speechless and choked.
She tilted her head and glanced at him. Is this what people often say: you forget your mother when you have a wife?
Lu Chixiao raised his hand and patted her head: "What are you thinking about again? Eat it quickly, the goose eggs are a bit fishy, and the egg pancakes are not delicious when they are cold."
Xu Suizhu stuck out his tongue and concentrated on eating.
Lu Chixiao returned to the kitchen, cleaned the pots, washed the dishes and chopsticks for beating eggs, picked up the broom again, and swept the floor straight up.
Xu Suizhu couldn't help but think of a movie he had seen in his previous life. There was a line in it that seemed to be "Since so and so is coming, let our big animals, mules and horses, have a good rest." Embarrassing.
He said in a dumbfounded voice: "Leave me alone, sit down and rest quickly, be careful not to injure the wound."
Boss Lu looked at her with a smile and joked: "The mother of the child has been working hard outside for a week. Of course she has to have a good rest when she comes home. Otherwise, what's the use of a man?"
Xu Suizhu: "..."
My future mother-in-law also said that he was straight-headed and his mouth was not sweet enough, and he mostly offended people. But in her opinion, this was not sweet enough, it was simply too sweet, right?
Mr. Lu's craftsmanship was really impressive. A simple omelette with onion flavor made her mouth water. If she hadn't thought about eating too much at night, she would have wanted another one.
Lu Chixiao looked at it and couldn't help but laugh: "It's just an ordinary egg pancake. How did it end up in your mouth and become so delicious for adults?"
"It's really good!" At least she wouldn't be able to cook such delicious egg pancakes without borrowing the cooking treasure. "My son will be blessed in the future!"
"Don't worry!" Mr. Lu looked at her with a smile, "My son will definitely be behind you. If the mother doesn't eat enough, the little one can't even try it."
"..." Please don't say that, as if she is a stepmother.
As the saying goes, what do you miss when you are full and warm? Xu Suizhu spent a day running around, and after eating and drinking enough, he felt sleepy.
Mr. Lu got ahead of her and said, "Today I will sleep in the main room and will not stay at my aunt's house. My uncle will be guarding the fishery tonight, so Xiao Xu went with him. My brother-in-law went to his mother-in-law's house to pick up the child, and he didn't leave me the key. Go.
Let's get it from my uncle, what if I've already fallen asleep? It's better not to disturb me."
In fact, Lin Guodong wanted to give him the key as soon as he landed ashore, but he didn't ask for it himself.
At that time, I thought that if the child's mother did not come back, he could live in the town, and we would go back to Fuju Island tomorrow morning.
At this moment, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice: After receiving the key, can I still have an excuse to live under the same roof as the child's mother? Absolutely not. If I lied, wouldn't it be exposed tomorrow morning if Uncle Lin asked casually?
So I have to praise him for having the foresight not to pick up the key.
Unexpectedly, this boy was still complacent, and the boy's mother took out a bunch of keys to her aunt's house and handed them to him: "My aunt left a spare key with me."
Boss Lu was momentarily stuck: "..." I'm so happy for nothing!
