Chapter 255 Return to Lan County
Chapter 255 Return to Lan County
Since Lu Beichen started cooking, the responsibility of buying groceries was also given to him, most of which came from Jiezhuli.
There's no way, the vegetables bought outside are not as complete as those in her Jiezhu.
"I have guests tonight, so I'm planning to make braised chicken, stir-fried dried shrimp, steamed fish with pickled peppers, steamed egg with minced meat, stir-fried bean sprouts, braised tofu with dried yellow croaker, shredded potatoes with vinegar, and finally some cold-mixed black fungus."
I applauded: "My husband is amazing! Even if there are no fresh vegetables, he can make them bloom. It's amazing."
The corners of Lu Beichen's lips curled up slightly. He was a vulgar man and liked to hear his wife's endless praises. His vanity was satisfied.
"Is there anything else you haven't prepared? Let me help you."
"The dishes are all ready and I'm about to cook them. Wife, just sit aside."
Originally, the family burned firewood until Lu's father went to the island and found that burning honeycomb coal was more convenient. When he came back, he asked someone to renovate the kitchen, and now they also start burning honeycomb coal.
Lu Beichen started to cook, and she was not completely idle. She handed him some seasoning from time to time. Both of them had bright smiles on their faces, and the scene was very warm.
Every time a dish was prepared, Fu Ling would put it into the space to keep it warm. Now that the weather was cold, the dishes would easily get cold if left outside, and the space was the best insulation container.
When all the dishes were served, they were steaming hot as if they had just come out of the pot.
No one would be so bored as to wonder why the food remains hot for so long. After all, there are many ways to maintain temperature, but Fu Ling's method is the simplest and most convenient.
Aunt Chen didn't expect Lu Beichen's cooking to be so delicious.
They have a domestic helper and the cooking is done by the auntie.
Chen Weidong is a well-known wife-loving maniac. He treats his wife very well. Aunt Chen never does housework, pays attention to maintenance, and has a young and energetic mentality. This is also the reason why Chen Weidong likes her.
"If my aunt had half of your cooking skills, I would be satisfied." Aunt Chen said with emotion while eating.
She was so envious that she suddenly felt that the food cooked by her aunt was not delicious anymore.
In fact, Chen Weidong took her health into consideration and asked his aunt to cook with very light flavors, so the food naturally tasted bland. The Chen family pays attention to health-preserving meals.
Lu Beichen is different. He pays attention to the color, fragrance and taste.
The two sides have different pursuits, so the taste is naturally very different.
It gets dark very quickly in winter, and by the time they finished their meal, it was already completely dark.
Chen Weidong did not stay any longer.
When he arrived, he rode a bicycle, said goodbye to everyone, and left with Aunt Chen.
After coming back, the children slept in the same room with their grandparents.
Originally, Fu Ling was worried that it would disturb Mr. Lu's rest and wanted to refuse, but he was the first to respond.
What a joke! He hasn't seen his little grandchildren for a long time and misses them very much. Living in the same house with them and being able to see the children more often, he is so happy that he can't contain himself.
This made Lu Beichen very happy, and he pestered her to do naughty things for a long time every night.
Time flies. There are about ten days left before the wedding, and Lu Beifeng and his family returned to Lan County from the island.
As soon as Fu Ling entered the room, she was hugged by Lu Nianci. The little girl's face flushed with excitement: "Second Aunt, Second Aunt! Nian Nian missed you so much."
"Oh, our Nian Nian is here. Second Auntie missed you too. Let Second Auntie take a look. Hmm~~ You seem to have grown a lot taller."
"I also have to thank my sister-in-law for buying nutritional supplements for Nian Nian. She drinks them every day. How could she not grow taller?" Lu Beifeng responded with a smile.
Fu Ling touched Lu Nianci's little head and said, "It's good that it works. I'll get some more for Nian Nian later. Children are growing up, so they must get enough nutrition."
Then he looked at Kong Ci and said with a smile: "Xiao Ci, it seems that you are in high spirits recently because of the good things that happened to you. Your complexion is getting better and better."
Kong Ci was already immune to her words at this time: "It's all thanks to you. That mask thing of yours is really useful. I only used it for a few days, and my complexion has improved."
If Kong Ci hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about it. In order to make her the most beautiful bride, she specially made a seaweed mask and dripped a lot of spiritual spring water into it, which is why she has such obvious effects now.
"Haha, I'll make some pearl powder for you later. Apply it on your face and it will whiten and nourish your skin."
When Kong Ci heard that it could nourish the skin and whiten the skin, her eyes lit up.
Although she is not bad, especially Fu Ling always gives her some good things, such as skin care products, facial masks, etc.
It also made her skin even whiter, obviously several shades whiter than when she first arrived.
"Okay, I won't be shy then."
Fu Ling got to the point and said to Lu Beifeng, "Brother, the wedding is almost over, and our friends from the island are coming too. We definitely can't accommodate them at home. Beichen and I have discussed it and have rented a house on Fengxiang Street, about 200 meters away from home. It's a big house with two floors, and we've reserved a room for Xiaoci. You can pick her up there when the time comes."
Lu Beifeng didn't expect Fu Ling to be so thoughtful. He smiled and nodded, "My sister-in-law and I were thinking the same thing. We came here just to rent a house, but I never thought she'd think of it before me."
"Haha, Kong Ci is not a local, so we naturally have to be more considerate of her."
Kong Ci was also deeply moved after hearing this. With such a sister-in-law, life in her husband's family would not be too lonely.
"Xiaoci, come here every day for meals. It's customary for newlyweds not to see each other for the last three days. By then, Mrs. Qin and the others will have arrived. They will cook, and the kitchen utensils will be fully prepared."
"Actually, no need. I can cook, so I can just cook and eat there for the next few days."
Fu Ling refused, "How can that be? We are all family. How can we leave you alone outside? The last three days were just for show. In my opinion, even these three days were unnecessary."
Lu Beifeng also echoed: "That's it, Xiaoci, just follow your sister-in-law's arrangements."
Kong Ci was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. The two of them were in sync, and if she refused again, she would seem too pretentious.
After everyone had lunch, Fu Ling and Lu Beichen took the two to their rented house.
When Lu Beifeng heard Fu Ling's words, he thought it was just an ordinary residential entrance. Unexpectedly, when he got closer, he found out that it was actually a small Western-style building.
He scratched his head embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, I've made you spend money again."
Fu Ling smiled and said, "It's only a month's rent, it doesn't cost much. The environment here is nice and safe. We've inquired about it, and the security here is very good. I can only feel at ease if Xiaoci lives here."
"My sister-in-law is really thoughtful."
"This isn't just my idea. Beichen and I discussed it together. Coincidentally, the owner of this house went to Beijing City and originally listed it at the trading house, intending to sell it. We talked to them and they finally agreed to rent it to us for a month."
