And Lu Jing is always in the kitchen. He can't cook, but he can still chop vegetables and meat.
After working for half an hour, Lu Jing brought out plates of food.
Chen Zhou didn't even look at the dishes. His eyes were always fixed on the small earthenware pot in the kitchen.
"What's in that?" Chen Zhou took a deep breath. The aroma was so fragrant that he felt as if he was in the clouds. He wanted to take out the jar immediately.
But soon, a figure appeared in his sight.
Seeing Xia Yao, Chen Zhou was like a mouse meeting a cat, and quickly turned his eyes away from the few dogtail grasses in the corner.
"It's braised pork." Xia Yao took the handkerchief from Lu Changbai and wiped his hands, "It will take another five minutes to be ready."
Chen Zhou looked away nonchalantly, not daring to speak at all.
Lu Tiantian took a sip of saliva, her eyes filled with anticipation: "Auntie, what is braised pork?"
"It's very delicious meat." Xia Yao rubbed Lu Tiantian's head, "But it's very troublesome to make. When we have money in the future, we will make it every day."
Lu Tiantian nodded quickly. Although she hadn't eaten the braised pork yet, she believed in Xia Yao's craftsmanship.
The dishes cooked by aunt must be delicious!
Lu Tiantian thought so in her heart.
The same goes for Lu Changbai. He and Lu Tiantian are Xia Yao's most loyal fans. Even a glass of water poured by Xia Yao tastes better than that poured by others.
The two of them were greedy and followed Xia Yao all the time. Wherever Xia Yao went, they followed him.
Until Xia Yao said: "The braised pork is ready."
The two cheered and cast eager eyes on Lu Jing.
Lu Jing knew what the two wanted him to do, so he sighed helplessly in his heart, entered the house honestly, and took out the earthen jar.
As soon as the earthen pot arrived in the yard, the aroma spread immediately.
Someone from the village passed by outside the door and shouted: "Xia Zhiqing is making something delicious!"
"I made some home-cooked dishes." Xia Yao replied with a smile.
Chen Zhou stared at the earthen pot and his throat rolled a few times. Is this a home-cooked dish?
His eyes followed Lu Jing's movement to the table, where there were crispy-looking cucumbers and scrambled eggs with leeks. Although they were ordinary dishes, their colors were very beautiful and made people want to eat.
But all of this is nothing compared to that tightly covered earthen jar.
The overbearing aroma is constantly emanating from this earthen jar. He can't wait to open the earthen jar now to see what good thing is inside that smells so good?
This thought came to Chen Zhou's mind, and his hand reached out to the earthen pot involuntarily.
The next moment, Xia Yao's eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, making his hands and feet stiff instantly.
He quickly retracted his hand and smiled.
Xia Yao opened the jar: "Let's eat."
As soon as he said these words, Chen Zhou put his chopsticks into the earthen pot.
As if he didn't notice Lu Jing's gaze, he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.
As soon as the hot braised meat reached his mouth, his facial features were distorted by the heat. Even so, he still refused to let go of the piece of meat in his mouth.
So delicious!
This was the only thought left in Chen Zhou's head.
He thought of what he had just said to Xia Yao, and felt disgusted with himself.
Damn him! How could he say that to Xia Yao?
Just because of this skill, Xia Yao is more than enough to work as a chef in a state-owned restaurant!
Thinking of this, when Chen Zhou looked at Xia Yao again, there was a little guilt in his eyes.
Xia Yao caught a glimpse of the complicated emotions in his eyes and looked away lightly.
Those words cannot be made up for with a guilty look.
Xia Yao showed her eyes, nose, and mouth. When she didn't speak, her clear eyes looked towards Chen Zhou, and Chen Zhou immediately lowered his head.
But while he was scared, he still kept his hand reaching into the jar.
Just scold him, he will be a dead man even if he dies!
Chen Zhou smashed the jar and ate the braised pork. The braised pork melted in your mouth. You couldn't taste the greasiness of the fat meat, let alone the lean meat.
From time to time, I take a bite of cucumber, which tastes like a fairy.
One and a half kilograms of braised pork, with the efforts of four people, was finished in less than half an hour.
Chen Zhou burped and gave Xia Yao a thumbs up.
"Sister-in-law, this is what you cook!"
"I said the wrong thing before!" Chen Zhou hugged Xia Yao, "You and Brother Lu are a perfect match!"
Xia Yao was drinking water, and when Chen Zhou said this, he squirted out a mouthful of water.
"What did you say?"
"You are a perfect match for me, Brother Lu!" Chen Zhou became guilty as he spoke. Was he right?
Xia Yao likes Lu Jing, so he should be happy to hear this!
However, the look of Xia Yao gnashing his teeth across from him told him that Xia Yao was not happy.
When Chen Zhou rolled his eyes at Xia Yao, he didn't realize what his mistake was.
Xia Yao crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Chen Zhou with a sinister look: "This is the only thing on your mind."
Although he didn't understand what Xia Yao was saying, Chen Zhou could tell from Xia Yao's eyes that she was scolding him.
Chen Zhou felt wronged, but Chen Zhou believed that he wanted to stabilize the relationship between Xia Yao and Lu Jing, so he chose to keep this grievance deep in his heart.
He was lowering his head when he was dragged out of the house by Lu Jing.
"Brother Lu!!" Chen Zhou was dragged forward by Lu Jing, scared out of his mind.
Even if he said that sentence, it's not that serious, right? Brother Lu hates Xia Yao so much?
As soon as Chen Zhou stood still, he said to Lu Jing seriously: "Brother Lu, I know that my sister-in-law is not good-looking, but you can't be a heartless person!"
"You ask your sister-in-law to prepare delicious food for you, but at the same time you dislike her! We can't be like this!" Chen Zhou looked at Lu Jing and said sadly, "If you really don't like my sister-in-law, divorce me. When the time comes..."
"It's not what you think." Lu Jing interrupted Chen Zhou with a sullen face.
Chen Zhou was stunned: "Isn't that what I was thinking? Isn't it just that my sister-in-law likes you? Don't you like my sister-in-law?"
"Xia Yao and I are not in the relationship you think." Lu Jing suppressed the anger in his heart and said word by word, "Don't mention this matter again in the future."
When Chen Zhou caught a glimpse of Lu Jing's calm expression, he immediately covered his mouth and nodded quickly: "Brother Lu, don't worry, I will never mention it again in the future!"
Lu Jing glanced at him, and he nodded quickly to show his determination.
After a moment, Lu Jing sighed in his heart.
He handed the money he had prepared to Chen Zhou: "The money from the last wild boar sale."
Seeing these pictures of unity, Chen Zhou's eyes lit up and he had long forgotten those things: "So much! It's much more than selling it to Lao Ding!"
They cooperated with Lao Ding, but they scored 64 points!
If they weren't afraid of the pickets, they would have quit long ago!
The money I get now is more than ten yuan more than the money I made from working with Lao Ding!
"This business can be done!" Chen Zhou held his chin thoughtfully, "Why don't we find another chance to go up the mountain?"
"There has been a lot of noise lately, don't do it again." Lu Jing's face darkened and he warned, "Old Ding has been arrested."
"What!" Chen Zhou was frightened and trembled, "His father is not..."
"His father was also arrested." Lu Jing's voice was cold. "Old Ding was arrested and sent to the farm to renovate even though he had a background, let alone us? Don't do this business for the time being. This kind of work will not last long after all."
"Brother Lu, you don't want me to go back to work, do you?" Chen Zhou said with a bitter face, "I'm too tired, I really can't do it."
"Go to work for now." Lu Jing patted Chen Zhou on the shoulder, "Otherwise, some people should be suspicious."
When Chen Zhou heard this, he straightened up more than half.
yes!
If he doesn’t work, he will have no work points, and if he doesn’t have work points, he will have no money or food. Where will he get the money to eat meat and drink?
What if someone reports him?
After this idea came to his mind, Chen Zhou immediately nodded: "Brother Lu! You are right! I will definitely work hard!"
…
On the train.
The rumble of the train was running steadily on the rails, and the roar from time to time made people's ears swell.
Xia Qingqing sat on the lower bunk, her face looking a little ugly.
She never thought that after finally coming out of the countryside, she would have to go back to the countryside again!
Xu Chenghai, who was sitting outside, had a smile on his face, chatting and laughing with a few educated youth around him, and singing a song from time to time.
Obviously, Xu Chenghai did not realize the hardships of going to the countryside.
Xia Qingqing squeezed the bag in her hand tightly. After thinking that she was sitting on a sleeper, her face looked better.
In any case, she will not endure hardship this time in the countryside.
The Xu family has already given them enough money. As long as she takes good care of Xu Chenghai, she can get the money.
Thinking of this, Xia Qingqing felt much better.
But soon, Xia Qingqing's eyes became clouded.
I don't know when Xu Chenghai was replaced by a female educated youth. The female educated youth wore two braids and looked at Xu Chenghai with a look that Xia Qingqing must be familiar with.
She also impressed Xu Chenghai with such reverential eyes at the beginning.
An alarm bell rang in Xia Qingqing's heart. She immediately stood up, walked to Xu Chenghai's side, took a handkerchief and wiped Xu Chenghai's forehead.
"Brother Chenghai, have a drink of water."
Xia Qingqing's intimate behavior with Xu Chenghai soon aroused the hostility of female educated youths.
"Who are you?"
Xia Qingqing lowered her head with a shy expression.
Xu Chenghai liked Xia Qingqing's innocent and harmless appearance the most. He immediately put his arms around Xia Qingqing's shoulders and introduced everyone: "This is my fiancée, Xia Qingqing."
Hearing the word fiancée, most of the group of female educated youths gathered here lost their hearts.
Xu Chenghai is good-looking, and you can tell by his dress that he has a rich family. Most of the educated youths who go to the countryside are from ordinary families. With their uneasiness about going to the countryside and the unique feelings of girls at this age, they will naturally treat Xu Chenghai like this. People of extraordinary origin and good looks are attracted to people.
But now that this man has a fiancée, many people have given up.
The female educated youth sitting alone next to Xu Chenghai had fire in her eyes.
Xia Qingqing was very familiar with it. She seemed to see herself in this female educated youth.
