Chapter 103 Help
Li Luo looked at the six-pound quilt and couldn't help but be stunned.
Cheng Yuzhu, who had been busy in the yard, saw Li Luo's dazed look and gently pushed Li Luo.
"How is it? Luoluo, do you like this colorful quilt? Don't be disgusted. Don't worry, this is not the quilt I made for Xiaoge. The quilt I made for Xiaoge is now used by your sister-in-law and the others."
“Luoluo, don’t worry, your parents won’t treat you unfairly.” Cheng Yuzhu’s voice was a little choked up as she spoke. It was unclear whether it was because of Li Luo’s suffering or because she thought of Lin Ge not recognizing them…
Li Luo shook her head repeatedly and said with a smile: "No, Mom, don't think like that. Even if it was prepared for Lin Ge, it's not a waste to give it to me now. Who isn't a mother's daughter? This is a token of my love for my daughter, so I should accept it."
Cheng Yuzhu wiped her face, swallowed the grievances she had felt before, and smiled at Li Luo's sensible appearance: "I didn't expect that you would get married just after mom recognized you. Our family didn't live well for a while..."
"Mom, I'm back. Don't worry, just ask me if there's anything you need to do at home." Li Luo came back this time because he was afraid of being too busy.
"It's nothing, actually. It's just this quilt. I still need to sew a few stitches myself. It's also a good start. I wish you and Xiao Ling a long and happy life."
After listening to this, Li Luo recalled the kiss with Ling Zhuoqun yesterday, and her face started to feel hot again.
"Okay." Li Luo nodded gently. She suddenly felt a little bit of anticipation to live with Ling Zhuoqun for a long time.
In the evening, after school, Lin Mo saw Li Luo at home and could not believe his eyes.
"Sister, is that you? You're back!" Lin Mo hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.
Li Luo was bending over, frying chicken in an apron. She had also fried a plate of pork belly that Lin Weiguo had brought back, and steamed a pot of alkaline noodle buns in the afternoon.
"Sister, you are so amazing! If I had your cooking skills, I could make delicious food for myself every day!" Smelling the delicious food, Lin Mo rubbed his hands excitedly.
"I was originally planning to thank my sister for asking Da Mao to bring milk when I go to her house next time. Xiao Mao even came to our class to show off today, saying that his stepmother's cooking is the most delicious. He even showed off in front of me, enviing me." As he spoke, Lin Mo raised his chin proudly.
"Poor thing! He won't be able to enjoy my sister's cooking today!" After Lin Mo said this, he felt even more gloating and held his sister's arm tightly, refusing to let go.
"Then Mo Mo, just learn to cook here. I'll teach you." Since Lin Mo was sincere in learning, Li Luo naturally wouldn't give up the opportunity to teach.
After all, only boys who can cook are likely to win the heart of a wife. Men who don’t cook are like rotten cabbage.
Lin Mo exclaimed, "Ah!" He had just wanted to talk nonsense, but he didn't expect his sister to really cook for herself. However, seeing how his sister was doing it with ease, cooking seemed to be quite simple?
So, under Li Luo's instruction, Lin Mo learned how to add salt, soy sauce and other seasonings, as well as when to add potatoes and when to add peppers.
It was just like a real game of house, and soon Lin Mo began to enjoy it.
However, Lin Mo still didn't fully understand the estimative words like "a little" and "appropriate amount", so Li Luo told him that when adding the seasoning, he could pour it into a spoon first, and when it looked about right, he could stir-fry it in the pan.
So Lin Mo followed his sister's example and poured the juice into a spoon. Even if he poured more, he could still pick it out. It was really smart.
Lin Mo looked at Li Luo with admiration, as if Li Luo was the ancient Greek god in charge of food.
"Sister, are you the God of Food?" Lin Mo suddenly raised his head and asked with a blink. Li Luo laughed, "Practice makes perfect. A lot of wisdom is summed up in the process of labor, so you have to have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering."
Lin Mo nodded, as if he understood, but also as if he didn't understand. He was confused and only felt that what his sister said was very meaningful.
"In general, you need to watch more, practice more, and summarize your experience more. Whether it's cooking or studying, there are common principles."
When it comes to studying, Lin Mo is simply overwhelmed. He doesn't know why Ling Xiaoguang, who is younger than him, is so much better at studying than him.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo drooped his face, and even cooking, which he was originally interested in, now lacked interest.
"Sister, please don't mention it. We had a quiz this week and I only got a passing score, unlike Damao, who got a perfect score."
Li Luo, who was originally busy, was happy when he heard the news, but then he thought that he was now in the Lin family and had no way to reward Ling Xiaoguang, so he could only give up in disappointment.
When I get back, I can still cook delicious food for him and give him lots of praise.
"It's okay. You just got the question wrong, not the wrong person. The question can be corrected. Next time, you just need to remember this knowledge point. That's all."
"This is just a test to examine your achievements. Although you may not have mastered the art of learning for the time being, you have done a good job in helping to reduce the burden on your family."
"And he took the initiative to help his sister cook. Isn't this worthy of praise?" Li Luo patted Lin Mo's little head gently and encouraged him.
Lin Mo, who was originally dejected and waiting to be scolded, stared at Li Luo's incessant mouth in amazement.
It turns out that even if he didn't do well in the exam, he wouldn't be scolded or beaten? Before, when he got the test paper, he didn't dare to go home, for fear that he would disappoint his parents if he didn't do well in the exam. He didn't want to see his parents' disappointed eyes, but he was really unable to cope with studying.
He wants to farm and catch fish with his parents, and he also likes to cook with his sister!
Li Luo picked out a piece of chicken from the pot, blew on it to make it hot, and put it in Lin Mo's wide-open mouth.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Li Luo smiled and rubbed Lin Mo's little head.
Lin Mo shook his head slightly and chewed the chicken to which he had added seasoning and side dishes.
“It tastes almost the same as what my sister cooked!” Lin Mo’s eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that only when he tried it himself, he would know whether he could do it or not!
Is this the practice my sister was talking about?
Li Luo was stir-frying chicken nuggets in the pot. Under Li Luo's instruction, Lin Mo added and removed firewood to keep the temperature in the pot in a delicate balance.
During dinner, Cheng Yuzhu and Lin Song kept praising the chicken for being cooked to perfection and having just the right amount of seasoning.
Lin Mo puffed out his chest with pride. This was all thanks to him!
Li Luo also smiled and nodded: "Thanks to Mo Mo who was by my side to help me, and these are all the flavors he prepared."
"And the timing is all controlled by Mo Mo." Li Luo looked at Lin Mo with a smile on his face.
