Chapter 20 The Truth
Knowing that they had wronged Li Luo, the two brothers felt mixed emotions.

Although they knew that Aunt Wang was a liar, they still lost their composure when they heard Yaya crying. They preconceived that Li Luo was bullying Yaya.

"Um...where is our stepmother?" Ling Xiaoguang looked around but did not see Li Luo.

Could it be that this stepmother finally couldn't stand their family anymore and was planning to leave?
Anyway, she should be sensible and leave early. Although Aunt Wang is not a good person, at least she will not have any intention of harming them, but this woman doesn't know.

He knew that women were always good at disguising themselves. His mother was the same at the beginning. She thought that she could keep the man by disguising herself well. However, nothing she did would make the man even look at her.

Then his mother would vent her anger on him and his younger brother, and most of the time, he was the one who bore the most of his mother's anger on behalf of his younger brother.

"Sizzle!" The sound of hot oil crackling came from the kitchen.

After a while, the aroma of garlic and meat wafted out from the kitchen.

Ling Zhuoqun smiled and pursed his lips: "Isn't it? Busy in the kitchen."

When the sound of splashing oil gradually died down, Li Luo finally had time to run out of the kitchen with a spoon in his hand.

"What happened? Who bullied Yaya?" Li Luo looked nervous and looked around.

Yaya saw Li Luo first. She struggled and flapped her short legs to go find Li Luo.

Ling Zhuoqun was afraid that Yaya would get hurt, so he had to put Yaya down first. Yaya walked with her short legs, smiling and grabbed the hem of Li Luo's skirt.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck~" Yaya is like a cheerful little hen, smiling all day long.

Li Luo squatted down and scratched Yaya's nose: "Are you asking for candy again?"

Yaya bit her fingers and thought for a while, then nodded heavily.

It was she who reminded Ling Zhuoqun that Yaya had already eaten three candies today and couldn't eat any more, and he shouldn't be soft-hearted even if Yaya was making a fuss.

Isn't it? Yaya grabbed her clothes and went to the direction where the sugar was placed.

Li Luo simply bent down, smiled at Yaya and shook his head: "No, Yaya is a good and obedient child. No candy today. Can I give you candy tomorrow?"

Yaya blinked her big eyes, frowned her eyebrowless forehead, and then smiled and nodded.

"Dinner will be served in a while. Garlic spareribs and tomato egg drop soup~" Li Luo rolled up his sleeves, threw off his apron, and plunged into the battle in the kitchen again.

First fry the ribs in a large amount of oil until they are golden and crispy. Then pour out the oil, leaving a layer of base oil. Sprinkle a handful of chopped garlic on top. Wait until the garlic turns golden and the aroma comes out before adding the ribs.

Add salt, oyster sauce and other seasonings, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving, and the garlic-flavored spareribs are ready.

While the garlic pork ribs are being cooked, another pot of tomato egg drop soup is also being served.

Ling Zhuoqun took the lead and went to the kitchen to bring out two dishes.

Ling Xiaoguang followed suit, took the bowl and chopsticks, and put them neatly in place.

Ling Xiaolei was a little slow to enter the kitchen, and finally Li Luo brought the rice to the dining table, a small bucket of rice at a time, just enough for several people.

The rice grains are distinct, each one is full of moisture, crystal clear, and chewy and springy. Paired with the delicious pork ribs, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with gravy flowing out from the meat fibers.

"Sigh~ It's a little hot." Ling Xiaolei was eating too hastily, and the gravy burned his tongue, so he kept fanning himself. "Xiaolei, even if it's delicious, you can't be so hasty. You have to chew slowly." Ling Zhuoqun put down his chopsticks and taught Ling Xiaolei seriously.

"Brother Ling, don't act like a leader when you're eating." Li Luo laughed. When he saw Ling Zhuoqun teaching the child in a stern manner, it was obvious that he didn't know how to get along with children.

There is no way, after all, Ling Zhuoqun is also a father for the first time, and the father of three children.

Ling Zhuoqun was scolding Da Mao and Xiao Mao, just like when she was in military training and the instructor was scolding them.

Ling Zhuoqun was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the Ling Xiaoguang brothers, as if asking with his face: Does he really look like a leader?
Facing Ling Zhuoqun's death gaze, the two brothers immediately lowered their heads, buried their heads in their rice bowls, and began to eat.

When Aunt Wang was around, they always ate rotten-smelling meals. These past two days without Aunt Wang, the food has actually improved. Not only does she have meat for every meal, but she also cooks delicious food for them in different ways.

Ling Xiaoguang ate two bowls of rice, which was considered as eating a little more than usual. Unexpectedly, Ling Xiaolei drank three bowls of rice. In the end, all the rice in the wooden barrel was scraped away, but Ling Xiaolei was still not satisfied.

Even the last piece of pork ribs undoubtedly became Ling Xiaolei's meal.

After eating, Ling Xiaoguang patted his bulging belly, looking very satisfied. It had been a long time since he had such a happy meal.

He had somewhat changed his opinion of the woman in front of him.

"Hmm~" Ling Xiaolei hurriedly shook his head. He was deceived by a woman before. She knew that he liked to eat delicious food, but she still poisoned the food. However, he was still useless and was still attracted by delicious food.

After dinner, Ling Xiaoguang took the initiative to take on the responsibility of washing the dishes, and Ling Xiaolei also decisively went over to help.

In the huge living room, only Ling Zhuoqun and Li Luo were left, with Yaya swaying left and right in front of them.

"Why did Xiaolei shake his head just now? Is it because the food I cooked is not delicious?" Li Luo tilted his head and looked towards the kitchen.

"No, your cooking skills are very good. I think the food is better than those sold in state-owned restaurants outside. It's just that Xiaolei encountered some problems before, and I'm afraid he still has some trauma about delicious food." Ling Zhuoqun explained kindly.

Li Luo suddenly slapped his forehead: "So that's it!"

She had been exposed to the sun all day and almost forgot what Xu Mei had told her today. Only when Ling Zhuoqun mentioned it did she realize it.

No wonder the two brothers behaved so abnormally when she was cooking yesterday, especially Xiao Mao, who made a fuss when she sprinkled the flour and had to taste the dumplings himself before they were willing to eat them.

Thinking of this, Li Luo didn't feel so bad anymore. Although she was confident in her cooking skills, she also knew that it was difficult to satisfy everyone.

If today's food is not to Xiaomao's liking, she will ask Xiaomao what he likes to eat next time and cook it for him.

"Thank you for your hard work in taking care of the child these days." Ling Zhuoqun looked into Li Luo's eyes and said seriously.

Li Luo suddenly met Ling Zhuoqun's eyes that were like the sea and stars, and her heart almost skipped a beat. Is it necessary to use such a handsome face?
"It's not hard. Both Big and Little are easy to take care of. I just prepare three meals a day for them. I also happen to like studying food, so I can use my hobby."

"Ya Ya is obedient and doesn't cry or make a fuss. It's easy to take care of her and it's not hard at all." Li Luo waved her hand to avoid Ling Zhuoqun's burning gaze.

But I felt a little tired when I was weeding today.

While weeding today, she suddenly remembered that after the original owner graduated from high school, she worked in a textile factory in the city. The original owner's skills were unique and she was recruited as a special case, but in order to get engaged, the original owner took a long vacation from the textile factory.
