While several children were sighing, Lu Yunzheng strode into the house.
"Captain Lu, what did you buy? There is one bag on the left and one on the right." Luo Xiaojuan asked curiously.
The first thing Lu Yunzheng did when he entered the house was to subconsciously look for Xu Wantang's figure. He soon saw her in the kitchen, and his heart was involuntarily confused, but he saw that she had not gone there from beginning to end. Looking in his direction, he felt a slight pain in his heart.
He looked away and answered Luo Xiaojuan, "I just heard... I heard Xu Wantang say that she wanted to treat everyone to dinner, and the seafood she got from the sea would definitely not be enough, so I bought some."
When Lu Yunzheng mentioned Xu Wantang's name, he couldn't help but pause for a long time.
When Yang Zhiqiang and Qian Baoguo mentioned Chen Yue and Luo Xiaojuan, they both called them "daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law."
And his name was Xu Wantang, and he always called her by her first name, which sounded strange and cold.
Once the misunderstanding was solved, details that were not noticed at ordinary times emerged one by one. Everywhere was evidence of his indifference, and at the same time, it was also the grievances Xu Wantang had suffered.
Lu Yunzheng felt depressed and uncomfortable, feeling that he was so worthless.
"Hey, Captain Lu has to be careful. The three of us just discussed letting Lao Qian and the others go shopping! Now, they don't need to make another trip, you have bought everything." Luo Xiaojuan said. .
"I also bought some food. Except for this bag, you should share it with the children." Lu Yunzheng took out one of the boxes of pastries and handed over the rest.
Qian Baoguo said that whatever his wife wanted, he would give it to her.
When Lu Yunzheng went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, he saw this box of pastries and remembered that Xu Wantang had eaten a lot of pastries on the train before. He seemed to like it very much, so he bought it.
He held the box of pastries in his hand and glanced in Xu Wantang's direction, not knowing what to say.
Luo Xiaojuan glanced at the pastries in Lu Yunzheng's hand with some deep meaning, then turned back to glance at Xu Wantang as if casually, smiled without trace, and took the bags from Lu Yunzheng's hand. I took the things and distributed them to the children, and didn't bother with the young couple's business.
Xu Wantang heard what Lu Yunzheng was doing, but he didn't join in the fun and quietly handled the sea sausage in his hands.
She held a pair of scissors in her right hand and cut off the head and tail of the sea sausage.
In an instant, bright red blood flowed out from the cut, and Xu Wantang's white fingers were stained with red marks.
Pull out the sea intestines from beginning to end with your hands, and all the contents in the stomach will be pulled out, and the sea intestines will be processed.
"Let me do it."
Lu Yunzheng's voice came from behind.
Xu Wantang was a little surprised and looked him up and down suspiciously, "Can you do it?"
Lu Yunzheng temporarily put the pastries aside and began to roll up his sleeves, revealing a small section of honey-colored arms.
"I can learn." Lu Yunzheng lowered his head and looked at Xu Wantang and said seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Wantang's hand was empty, and a tall heat source appeared on the side of his body.
Xu Wantang was originally sitting on a small bench. Since then, Lu Yunzheng squatted beside her, holding scissors in his big hand, and looked at Xu Wantang inquiringly.
Although Xu Wantang loves cooking and eating, he really doesn't like handling ingredients.
Seeing someone offering to work as a coolie for free, Xu Wantang did not refuse.
After all, Lu Yunzheng is back now, which means that he will also eat the food for a while and use it as food money. How can he not work while eating?
Although Lu Yunzheng was a free coolie in Xu Wantang's place, Xu Wantang would not treat the coolies badly and would immediately give up his little bench.
Just as she was about to stand up, her shoulders were gently pressed.
I saw Lu Yunzheng pressing her shoulder with his hand that had not touched the scissors, "You sit down, I don't feel comfortable sitting on the small stool."
Xu Wantang glanced at his long legs, said "Oh", and sat back without being polite.
"How to do it? You tell me, I will do it." Lu Yunzheng picked up a piece of sea sausage, shook it, and asked Xu Wantang.
"Just cut off both ends and squeeze out everything in the middle." Xu Wantang instructed.
Although Lu Yunzheng had never done similar work, he had good understanding and nimble movements, and he was able to handle a piece of sea sausage in a short time.
"Is it okay?" Lu Yunzheng asked with hope in his eyes.
Xu Wantang looked at his shining eyes, a little confused.
Is processing sea sausage so rewarding?
It seems that this job is quite suitable for Lu Yunzheng.
"Okay, let's do it like this."
Hearing Xu Wantang's affirmation, the corners of Lu Yunzheng's mouth turned up slightly.
But the next second, the corners of Lu Yunzheng's mouth that had just been raised drooped again.
Xu Wantang stood up and said to Lu Yunzheng, "Then you do it, I'll do something else."
"Just let me do it." Lu Yunzheng paused, "You teach me."
Xu Wantang paused and realized that something seemed wrong with Lu Yunzheng.
Is he... trying to please her?
Xu Wantang frowned and said seriously to Lu Yunzheng, "Lu Yunzheng, you don't have to be like this. We can just get along like before. I'm not used to you being like this."
Lu Yunzheng cursed himself a few times in his heart.
Xu Wantang said that she was not used to him doing this.
But he didn't do anything at all. It was just a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning. This shows how badly he treated Xu Wantang before.
"No, I think Lao Qian and Yang Zhiqiang have already done the work. As the master, it would be inappropriate for me not to do the work." Lu Yunzheng explained while cutting off the head and tail of a piece of sea sausage.
He wanted to do something for Xu Wantang, but she was afraid that Xu Wantang would refuse, so she distanced herself from him coldly again, so she came up with this idea.
Xu Wantang nodded, "That's true."
Just now Qian Baoguo and Yang Zhiqiang helped with a lot of work, especially chopping firewood, which was very energy-consuming.
Xu Wantang was still very sorry at first, but Luo Xiaojuan and Chen Yue both told her to stay away, saying that the two gentlemen had big appetites and could not eat for free, so Xu Wantang gave up the idea of trying to stop it.
With the two guests doing so much work, it was really hard for Lu Yunzheng to give up his job and work as a hands-off shopkeeper in the living room.
"Okay, then after you finish processing the sea intestines, come over and handle the razor clams." Xu Wantang ordered.
"Okay!" Lu Yunzheng agreed with a look of success flashing in his eyes.
Xu Wantang ignored him and dealt with the razor clams in his hands.
Just when she was finishing the third one, she heard the man behind her say, "I'm done. Do you want to check it?"
Xu Wantang turned around in surprise, "Is everything done?"
She made half a bucket of sea sausage at noon today!
She had only processed a small portion of the sea sausage just now. How could Lu Yunzheng process it so quickly? Did you cut corners in the process?
"Well, you can check it out." Captain Lu's tall body huddled beside the basin, with a sense of disobedience everywhere. He seemed to have guessed what Xu Wantang was thinking, and suggested with a smile on his lips.
