Chapter 231 Qin Guoqiang is here too
"Let's go upstairs and sleep. There will be delicious food tomorrow and I don't have to cook anymore!" Lu Bingxian was as happy as a child and said this to Mo Shaoying with a beaming face.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you would cook for me for the rest of your life? Before, you went to join the army, and I was alone at home raising the children and taking care of my parents. I finally waited for you to come back alive, and you said that in order to make it up to me, you would have to cook for me from now on." Mo Shaoying argued with Lu Bingxian angrily.
Lu Bingxian didn't dare to argue, so he had to coax the old lady back to her room to sleep. "Okay, I was wrong! I really want to cook for you, but Wanyu is a sensible child. She insisted on cooking for us to honor us on behalf of Jincheng. I refused at first, but she was more stubborn than me, and I couldn't win her over."
"Make up stories! Keep making up stories! I'll never believe you!" Mo Shaoying glanced at him and said, "You old man, you just tell lies!"
"Hey! Let's go. I'm sleepy. Get up early tomorrow and take a walk with me." Lu Bingxian took Mo Shaoying's hand and went upstairs.
Since Lu Bingxian was transferred to Beijing, his family has moved here. Sometimes when he gets home early from get off work, Lu Bingxian will go to the kitchen and take over the cooking job. At first, they lived in a bungalow. There were many children in the family and they couldn't turn around. Later, the conditions got better and they were allocated a bigger house, and there was a canteen. Lu Bingxian didn't cook much. And when Mo Shaoying went to work, the children went to the canteen to get their own meals. Later, they lived in a large courtyard. The children grew up and invited Aunt He to come to the house to help with cooking and housework, so Lu Bingxian was no longer needed.
In fact, the main reason why Lu Bingxian cooked was that Mo Shaoying's cooking was too bad. In the past, conditions were limited, ingredients were limited, and it was enough to have something to eat, so it was hard to tell whether the food was good or not. But later, with a stable supply of ingredients, the level of the cook naturally showed up. The elderly and children told Lu Bingxian privately several times that Mo Shaoying's cooking was bad, but it was difficult to say it directly, so they could only complain to him secretly.
Under such circumstances, Lu Bingxian had to take on the responsibility of cooking and occasionally improve the meals for his family.
The next day, Qin Wanyu got up early and made hot wonton noodles for the two elderly people. She added a few drops of sesame oil and the whole house was filled with fragrance. Even Xiao Jiang, who came over for a shift, couldn't help but look into the kitchen several times.
Seeing this, Qin Wanyu handed her bowl to Xiao Jiang, "You came just in time! This is made for you."
"Sister-in-law, I've already eaten! Really!" Xiao Jiang declined.
"Just continue eating if you're told to. Come here, sit down and eat with me."
Lu Bingxian called Xiao Jiang over and asked him to sit next to him.
The hesitant Xiao Jiang glanced at Lu Bingxian's serious eyes and had to walk over with the bowl. However, when he picked up the chopsticks, his happiness was exposed.
"Wow, it smells so good! I've never seen wontons and noodles cooked together." Xiao Jiang looked at the plump white wontons in the bowl, with some slender noodles interspersed among them.
"As long as it tastes good, I'll make something else for you tomorrow. Grandpa, put your bowls on the table after you finish eating, and I'll clean them up later. Now I'm going to make breakfast for Jincheng." Qin Wanyu said and went into the kitchen.
Soon, the aroma of chive dumplings wafted out of the kitchen. Lu Jincheng has loved eating chives since he was a child. Just after frying a pot of chive dumplings, Qin Wanyu continued to fry a pot of chive dumplings, and sprinkled them with water starch before serving. Around each golden and plump fried dumpling, a circle of golden crispy dough appeared, which is commonly known as "ice flower".
Lu Bingxian, who had just finished his meal and was about to go out, popped his head in to say hello to Qin Wanyu before going out, but when he saw the pot of temptingly colored fried dumplings, he couldn't walk anymore.
"Wanyu, well... I'm still a little hungry, can I... try another fried dumpling?"
Qin Wanyu looked at Lu Bingxian's eager eyes and casually picked up a few fried dumplings with icy flowers and put them on a plate. "These are for you to try first. We'll have dumplings at noon, boiled or fried, whatever you order!"
Qin Wanyu raised her right hand after she finished speaking, appearing particularly confident. Lu Bingxian looked at her and instantly laughed, "Okay, let's have dumplings for lunch."
Lu Bingxian took the plate to the dining room and shared the fried dumplings with Mo Shaoying. Qin Wanyu put breakfast into a lunch box, leaving a small gap for ventilation so that the fried dumplings and chive dumplings would not become crispy.
Just as she reached the door, Lu Bingxian put down his chopsticks and quickly called her, "Wanyu, let the driver take you there."
Turning to Xiao Jiang, he said, "Go tell the driver that he will be responsible for picking up Wanyu from now on, and buy some vegetables on the way back in the morning."
"Okay." Xiao Jiang couldn't run away immediately after hearing this. Qin Wanyu thought this was a good idea as it could save a lot of time on the road.
"Thank you, Grandpa! I'll go then!"
"Go!"
Qin Wanyu pushed the door of the ward and said, "Jincheng, look what I brought you?"
Everyone in the room looked at Qin Wanyu in unison, "Ah! Why are you here so early? I thought you wouldn't arrive until noon!"
Qin Guoqiang sat on the sofa in the ward as steady as a rock, Feng Bin talked to Lu Jincheng about the past with gestures and excitement, and Lu Fan served them tea and water.
"Sister-in-law!" Feng Bin greeted first, and Qin Wanyu nodded at him.
"Wanyu, are you here to bring breakfast to Jincheng?" Qin Guoqiang stood up, walked over, took Qin Wanyu's hand and asked.
"Grandpa, Feng Bin, have you had breakfast?"
"No, I came straight here as soon as I got off the train. We just entered the door, but I didn't expect to arrive before you." Feng Bin said, looking at the lunch box in Qin Wanyu's hand.
"Here, I brought a lot today, it's definitely enough for the few of us."
Qin Wanyu was talking, her hands moving non-stop, opening two boxes of chive dumplings, "Wow! What is this? It smells so good!"
"Jincheng likes to eat chive dumplings."
After hearing this, Lu Fan picked up a box and walked to Lu Jincheng, asking him to take one directly with his hand.
Feng Bin picked up another box and handed it to Qin Guoqiang, "Grandpa, you eat first."
"I also brought two boxes of fried dumplings, the kind with icing flowers on them, they look delicious. Your grandfather was about to go out in the morning, and when he saw the fried dumplings I made, he couldn't help but eat a few more." Qin Wanyu said to Lu Jincheng with a smile.
"Well, delicious! Chive dumplings are my favorite!" Lu Jincheng had no time to pay attention to Qin Wanyu.
Qin Guoqiang, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed when he heard Qin Wanyu mention Lu Jincheng's grandfather. At the beginning, he and his granddaughter Qin Wanyu wanted to team up to trick Lu Jincheng into marrying Qin Wanyu. Although the matter was not particularly ugly, it was because they came up with this unkind method that Lu Jincheng and Qin Wanyu were together.
