Chapter 43 Abnormality
Li Luo held Yaya in his arms and walked forward without saying a word. Ling Zhuoqun followed Li Luo with fish and chicken in his hands, and also accompanied Li Luo in silence.
"Do you think I should have come to see them earlier?" Li Luo's voice suddenly came from the silence.
"You didn't know what the situation was. Only after coming here today did you realize how deep the misunderstanding is." Ling Zhuoqun continued.
Before, he also thought that Lin's parents took the money and ran away, but when he went back to investigate, he found that this was not true. He just didn't expect that he and Li Luo became husband and wife by accident.
But it doesn’t matter, he will treat Li Luo well and will not lack anything she deserves.
Li Luo nodded, then sighed and said, "It's so late, I don't know if Da Mao and Xiao Mao have eaten yet."
"Don't worry, they can cook for themselves." Ling Zhuoqun smiled, "They are very sensible, but they are a little stubborn. I don't know how to communicate with them on this point."
"Thank you for taking care of these two children."
Li Luo shook his head: "They are all very well behaved, but they have some misunderstandings about me. But it doesn't matter, I will eliminate their misunderstandings about me, you don't need to interfere in this matter."
Ling Zhuoqun uttered a soft "hmm".
Although he was able to meet their material needs, he had no idea how to get along with the two brothers.
Moreover, when in front of him, the two brothers were very reserved and always reported good news but not bad news. It was worry-free, but it always seemed that there was a gap between them.
When they got home, they saw Xiao Mao holding up his face and shaking his head in boredom. When he saw Yaya, he suddenly perked up.
"Yaya, brother misses you so much!" Ling Xiaolei rushed over and hugged Yaya.
"Yaya, have you eaten? You don't know how hard your brother works. You don't know the food that your eldest brother cooks. I couldn't eat after just two bites." Ling Xiaolei's tone sounded extremely aggrieved.
"Of course, I can't compare with big brother in cooking, so even though I don't like to eat, I still give big brother face. What do you think? Isn't second brother loyal?" Ling Xiaolei was very proud when he said this.
After a while of speaking in ecstasy, Ling Xiaolei noticed that Li Luo's eyes were always on him.
"Hehe." Ling Xiaolei scratched his head shyly. He was not crying on purpose. He really was not full. His elder brother's cooking skills... were simply incomparable to his stepmother's.
Of course, the reason why he hadn't slept yet was not because he hadn't eaten enough. He would not admit that he missed his stepmother's cooking skills just because she hadn't cooked for a day.
After Ling Zhuoqun put the ingredients into the refrigerator in the kitchen, he folded his arms, leaned against the kitchen door, and watched Ling Xiaolei acting.
This little brat, who didn't want to offend Damao but wanted to eat delicious food, actually came up with this trick and cried to Yaya. Yaya was seen patting Ling Xiaoguang's back gently, mumbling something.
"Yaya, you are also feeling sorry for your brother, right? Woohoo, it doesn't matter. As long as Yaya is full, brother is not hungry. Brother even ate some biscuits." Ling Xiaolei said, patting his chest.
Li Luo naturally saw all of Ling Xiaolei's little tricks. Although he didn't want to deal with fish and chicken now, laying eggs was still a piece of cake for him.
There are a few green vegetables and some lard in the refrigerator, which are just enough to make a simple plain noodles.
"Xiao Mao, where is your brother?" Ling Zhuoqun looked at Ling Xiaolei's little tricks and finally couldn't help but speak out.
"My brother went to take a shower. I'll go take a shower too later." When Ling Xiaolei was questioned by Ling Zhuoqun, his expression instantly became serious.
"Xiao Mao, you didn't eat enough tonight, wait, stepmother will cook you some plain noodles." Li Luo put on an apron and walked into the kitchen. "I ate, but my brother didn't. He said he wasn't hungry. After cooking and washing the dishes, he went to take a shower." Ling Xiaolei replied while holding Yaya and teasing her.
"Then I'll cook two bowls." Li Luo responded in the kitchen.
Ling Zhuoqun was also helping in the kitchen. After kneading the dough, he boiled water and fried two eggs. Li Luo was cutting noodles and seasoning them.
Pull the noodles into even thin strips and put them into boiling water. They will be cooked in less than three minutes. Add your favorite cabbage and blanch it, then take it out.
When the noodle soup rushes into the bowl, the aroma of lard bursts out all at once. Finally, add a poached egg and a bowl of quick and simple Yangchun noodles is ready.
When Ling Xiaoguang came out of the bathroom, he happened to meet Li Luo, who was wearing an apron and carrying two bowls of noodles out of the kitchen.
They are back? Ling Xiaoguang was surprised for a moment, and then covered his arm. Luckily, he was almost discovered.
"I just heard from Xiao Mao that you haven't eaten yet. I've cooked some plain noodles for you to have some." Li Luo said.
"No, I'm not hungry." Ling Xiaoguang turned around and was about to go upstairs. He had no energy at all.
"Gurgle." Ling Xiaoguang's stomach rumbled uncontrollably.
"Stepmother has prepared everything, you can eat some." Ling Zhuoqun had just finished cleaning the kitchen and walked out.
"I told you I'm not hungry!" Ling Xiaoguang still shouted stubbornly, then ran upstairs quickly and closed the door of his room.
What happened to this kid today? It was rare for Da Mao to have an unstable temper.
Ling Zhuoqun's gaze fell on Xiao Mao, who was also surprised. When his brother came back with him, nothing happened. Why did he suddenly lose his temper?
"Well... I won't eat for now. I want to go see what's wrong with my brother." As he said that, Ling Xiaoguang followed his brother upstairs.
"Brother, please open the door, it's me." Ling Xiaolei said anxiously outside the door.
"I'm fine, just go and eat." Ling Xiaoguang shouted loudly in the room.
"Brother, are you unhappy that I didn't eat much of the food you cooked?" Ling Xiaolei's mouth suddenly pouty. Ever since he was injured, his brother hadn't spoken to him in such a tone for a long time.
"No." Ling Xiaoguang seemed to be holding back something.
"Brother, please open the door. I miss you." Ling Xiaolei continued to act coquettishly.
In the end, Ling Xiaoguang couldn't resist his brother's nagging and opened the door.
"Brother, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't mean to say that the food you cooked was not delicious, it's just that my stomach prefers the food cooked by my stepmother..." Ling Xiaolei lowered his head and poked his index fingers together.
As he spoke, Ling Xiaolei reached out and held Ling Xiaoguang's arm: "Brother, come downstairs to eat with me. I heard your stomach rumbling just now."
When Ling Xiaolei held Ling Xiaoguang's arm, Ling Xiaoguang groaned softly and a look of pain flashed across his face.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Ling Xiaolei saw his brother's unnatural look and immediately asked loudly.
