Chapter 74 Getting better
Ling Xiaoguang's eyes grew darker and darker as he memorized all these names.

"Let's go, let's go home." Ling Xiaoguang continued.

Ling Xiaolei tilted his head, knowing that his brother was angry, but what puzzled Ling Xiaolei was that his brother had always been resistant to his stepmother before, but now, it seemed that he was angry because someone else said something about his stepmother.

Does this mean that his brother, like him, has let down his guard against his stepmother?

"Brother, why are you running so fast? Although Erniu wants to catch up with us, we are almost half a block away from her. It doesn't matter." Ling Xiaolei began to pant, but Ling Xiaoguang's pace did not slow down.

"Go home and do homework, water the flowers, and sweep the floor." Ling Xiaoguang replied.

"Oh, yes. Today it's your brother's turn to water the flowers and sweep the floor, and I'll wipe the table." Ling Xiaolei nodded to himself.

These were Li Luo’s jobs in the past, and they were not heavy tasks. Every day after Li Luo finished cooking and looking after the children, she would clean up these things.

Once, Ling Xiaoguang was woken up by the urge to pee, and saw Li Luo busy at work, so he and Xiao Mao took on all the chores together.

Anyway, when they got home, there was nothing else to do except doing homework, so they would wait for Li Luo to prepare the meal before they could start to eat.

After Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei arrived home, they saw Li Luo watering the flowers in the garden. She was still wearing her pink dress, with her hair gathered on one side in a low braid.

However, unlike the pigtails worn by the girls in the village, Li Luo wrapped her hair with a ribbon and finally tied a bow with the ribbon, which made it more graceful and charming.

"Ah...Auntie." Ling Xiaoguang greeted Li Luo politely, and then Ling Xiaolei followed suit.

Li Luo put down the green watering can and nodded gently to the two little ghosts.

"Tonight, let's eat young ginger duck." After saying this, Li Luo smiled, and her smile was very bright.

"Everything Auntie cooks is delicious!" After Li Luo finished speaking, Ling Xiaolei's flattery arrived late.

However, Ling Xiaolei was telling the truth, so in his heart, he didn't feel that his praise was overdeserved at all.

After Li Luo finished watering the plants, he continued to work in the kitchen. He cut the duck into small pieces, cut the young ginger into shreds, added chopped chili peppers and some pickled peppers.

Chop the duck into small, even pieces, blanch it in hot water, wash it, and place it in a basin.

Put the iron pan on the stove, heat the pan first, then pour in vegetable oil after it is hot. Smoke will gradually come out of the oil. After the bubbles disappear, pour in the chili, pickled pepper and garlic slices and stir-fry until fragrant.

Then pour in the duck, stir-fry over medium heat to allow the meat to be evenly soaked in the fragrant spices. Finally, pour in the young ginger, stir-fry twice, sprinkle with green onions, and it is ready to serve.

While frying the young ginger duck, Li Luo also stir-fried the tomatoes harvested today and stewed a tomato and egg soup.

The rice was cooked in the casserole early in the morning.

While Li Luo was still busy in the kitchen, the two brothers had already finished their homework and started sweeping the floor and wiping the table. By the time Li Luo finished cooking, they had finished their work long ago and were playing with Yaya.

……

Five o'clock in the afternoon, at the farm.

It was time for Ling Zhuoqun to get off work again. He went home without saying anything.

"Brother Ling, you rush home every day after work, is it because your sister-in-law is at home?" Chen Yuejin joked. "Since the new sister-in-law came, she cooks for Brother Ling in different ways every day. We brothers are so envious." Wu Jiawang smiled and continued Chen Yuejin's words.

"It seems that you two are very free, so I'll leave you to be on duty tonight." Ling Zhuoqun arranged the two brothers without even turning his head.

Chen Yuejin and Wu Jiawang, two single people, looked at each other, regretting that they had spoken too much before.

"Brother Ling, it's not my turn on duty today!" Wu Jiawang protested.

"Didn't you ask me to cover your night shift for a day before? Make it up to me today." Ling Zhuoqun had already walked far away, but his voice still came through.

The corners of Wu Jiawang's mouth twitched. This happened half a year ago, but he didn't expect Ling Zhuoqun still remembered it. If Ling Zhuoqun hadn't mentioned it today, he wouldn't have known that he still owed half a day's night shift!
Well, what else can I say? I can only accept my fate.

When Ling Zhuoqun returned home, he saw the clean yard and inner rooms of his home, as well as the smell of food coming from the kitchen, and his smile unconsciously rose.

After entering the kitchen, Li Luo's meal had just been cooked, so he took over and brought the dishes to the table.

After dinner, the two brothers washed the dishes, took a bath, and washed their own clothes.

It is summer now, and their clothes are thin. They can be washed in the washing machine in just over ten minutes. Then Li Luo hangs their clothes in the yard.

"Mr. Ling..."

"Luoluo..."

After finishing their work, Li Luo and Ling Zhuoqun sat on either side of the sofa. Born together, they seemed to have a tacit understanding. They looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"You speak first, Luoluo." Ling Zhuoqun made a gesture of invitation.

"Why do you suddenly want to get a dog?" Ling Zhuoqun had thought about getting a dog, but he was not often at home. If he let outsiders feed the dog, he was afraid that the dog would be shy and bite people, so he had to give up.

Now that Li Luo suddenly brought it up, there must be some reason.

"Gao Yuliang came to our house to deliver meat that day. I asked him to leave it outside the door, and he did. But when I was trying to coax Yaya to sleep, he actually tried to climb over our wall. I don't know what he was going to do."

Li Luo still planned to bring this matter to the table. After all, Xu Mei happened to see it. Otherwise, Li Luo's reputation would never be cleared even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Gao Yuliang." Ling Zhuoqun narrowed his eyes.

In the past, Gao Yuliang always left before Li Luo delivered the meals, so he didn't expect the two of them to meet. But two days ago, Gao Yuliang got up a little later, and when he went back, he happened to encounter the peak period of meal delivery.

So it was at that time that the two of them met? Judging from Li Luo's appearance, the meeting between the two did not seem to be pleasant.

Ling Zhuoqun knew that Gao Yuliang was a philandering man, and even after getting married, he was still always having affairs. He divorced his wife because she caught him cheating in bed.

Ling Zhuoqun didn't know whether he had restrained himself after the divorce, but every time he came, all the sisters-in-law liked to greet him, and Gao Yuliang often flirted with those sisters-in-law.

Ling Zhuoqun didn't like Gao Yuliang's way of greeting, but Gao Yuliang was specifically nominated by Ling Zhuolin to be placed here, and Gao Yuliang knew the roads in the city well, so he really didn't do anything excessive here.

So Ling Zhuoqun gave the job opportunity to Gao Yuliang.
