Chapter 165 Returning to Mother’s Home
Li Luo's words made Ling Zhuoqun embarrassed. Li Luo was angry at that time, but he had to use his sincerity to calm Li Luo down. If Chen Yuejin was here and Li Luo still hadn't been appeased by him, Chen Yuejin would probably be criticized for even breathing.
"Yuejin, Yuejin said he wanted to eat the stir-fried dishes at the state-owned restaurant. We are having a family reunion, and he feels embarrassed to disturb us." Ling Zhuoqun dodged a glance.
He couldn't tell Li Luo that Chen Yuejin was afraid that the fire at the city gate would affect him, the fish.
Since Chen Yuejin chose to eat out, Li Luo naturally had nothing to say. After all, it was his own choice. He just often asked him to help deliver meat and even asked him to send his bicycle back. Li Luo felt that he owed Chen Yuejin a favor.
"I'll bring him some pig's trotter soup later." Ling Zhuoqun saw Li Luo's worry, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Well, this is our family affair, but Brother Chen was dragged into it, which really made Brother Chen a laughing stock." When mentioning Chen Yuejin, Li Luo still felt a little sorry for him.
"It's okay. We are brothers. Yuejin won't care about these things." Ling Zhuoqun comforted Li Luo.
Today, his wife almost ran away. How could Ling Zhuoqun care about what Chen Yuejin was thinking at this moment? It would be better to let Li Luo calm down first.
Soon the pig's trotter soup was ready. Li Luo served a bowl to everyone. Even Yaya couldn't resist taking a few bites. The pig's trotter was soft and sticky and melted in the mouth. It was suitable for children to eat.
"Dad, you and your brother should eat more pig's trotters. I heard from the old people that what you eat will replenish what you have. Mom must think so too, so I specially cooked pig's trotter soup for you and your brother!"
Ling Xiaolei smacked his lips as the gelatinous substance from the pig's trotter made it so sticky that he couldn't open his mouth. He had never tasted such delicious pig's trotter soup before!
"Then should I eat more brains?" Ling Xiaoguang paused while drinking the soup and responded.
"I understand. When I come back in the evening, I will bring some brains back for Damao." Ling Zhuoqun said very seriously.
Li Luo couldn't help but twitch his lips. Do these old and young men know what they are talking about? They were so serious and funny, but the person involved didn't notice it at all. This made Li Luo want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
"Then Xiaomao should also eat more pig's trotters to nourish your body and help you grow taller in the future." Li Luo couldn't help but joked.
"Mom, I will!" Ling Xiaolei puffed up his lips and cheered himself up.
What happened in the past few days was also extremely shocking to Ling Xiaolei. When his brother was injured, he hated his own weakness, and his desire to become stronger became stronger and stronger.
So when Li Luo teased him, Ling Xiaolei did not think that Li Luo was joking, but answered Li Luo very seriously.
Seeing Li Luo put some pig's trotters into Ling Xiaolei's bowl, Ling Xiaoguang silently handed over his bowl: "Mom, mom, I want some too."
Ling Xiaoguang knew what his brother was thinking. He also wanted to grow up quickly. Now he was still weak. As long as he grew up faster, he would be able to stand in front of his mother and protect her.
Just like what dad did today.
Seeing her brother and father eating happily, Yaya also asked Li Luo to add more meat to her bowl, until her belly was full. Yaya patted her bulging belly and said contentedly: "Mom, food, delicious!"
After a hearty meal, Ling Xiaoguang habitually wanted to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Ling Xiaolei: "Brother, you and Dad are injured, and Mom has been working so hard for so long, let me take care of all this!"
"Can you reach the stove?" Ling Xiaoguang paused, a little worried about Ling Xiaolei.
"It's okay, I can stand on the stool!" Ling Xiaolei patted his chest.
Without waiting for anyone else to make any move, Ling Xiaolei carried the dishes and chopsticks and walked carefully into the kitchen.
After washing and scrubbing for a while, Ling Xiaolei realized that washing dishes was not an easy job. In the past, his brother was so nonchalant and took on all the dishwashing work himself.
Thinking back to the time when their mother taught them how to cook, they cooked the rice so carefully, but in the end all the rice was burnt. It was not until they listened to their mother’s explanation that they realized that cooking is also a science.
Now besides him, the idle guy, there is only two-year-old Yaya at home, so he is doing the best he can by washing the dishes.
After lunch, Ling Zhuoqun picked up his lunch box and drove out on his motorcycle, leaving Li Luo and others at home. Li Luo thought about it and decided to go to Anhe Village to ask his second grandfather when he would measure the size of their house.
Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei were both at home today, so she was not worried about no one to take care of Yaya. She told them how to prepare milk powder for Yaya, and then rode her bicycle to Anhe Village.
"Luoluo, you're back? How's Damao? I heard from Xiaomo that Damao was injured and seems to be in the hospital. His family is still preparing for the wedding. We can't leave for the time being. I don't know what Damao's condition is now."
Cheng Yuzhu's concern for Damao was genuine. They had originally agreed to go to the hospital to visit Damao, but she was stopped by her eldest brother Lin Weimin, who said that Li Luo's wedding day was coming soon and going to the hospital would bring bad luck.
For the sake of her daughter, Cheng Yuzhu chose to wait for news at home.
"Everything is fine, Mom. Da Mao and Xiao Mao will be able to go to school tomorrow." Li Luo whispered to comfort Cheng Yuzhu.
"Here are some local eggs and crucian carp, which are used to nourish Damao and the others." Cheng Yuzhu took out a basket from the house. There were more than a dozen local eggs in it. It was obvious that they were saved up in the past two days.
"Mom, just give these eggs to you. We don't lack these things at home, and we can ask Brother Ling to bring them back!"
Li Luo hurriedly refused. Every time he came home, Cheng Yuzhu would always feed him. Li Luo didn't know how to face them.
"That's definitely different. Xiao Ling's chickens are all raised collectively, but the free-range chickens at home are free-range chickens that run all over the mountains and fields. The nutritional value of their eggs is higher."
"Listen to me, these eggs are not for you, but for our precious grandson. You must accept them!" Cheng Yuzhu's words were so sincere that Li Luo had no reason to refuse and had to accept them.
"Oh, by the way, Mom, I have something to ask my second grandfather when I come back this time. He said he would make a bed for me and Brother Ling, but no one has come to measure the dimensions yet. I don't know when the bed can be installed in our home."
Li Luo put the eggs away before asking Cheng Yuzhu about making the bed.
