Chapter 159: Too Thin
There was a chaos in the old courtyard of the Lu family. Shen Meng knew nothing about it. There were so many ingredients in her kitchen that she couldn't help but show off her skills. She cooked a pot of bone soup in a small pot and put a basket of white steamed buns on it. She put two sticks of firewood in the stove of the big pot and made a dish of stir-fried pork with red pepper and cabbage, and a dish of stewed meat with radish, tofu and vermicelli. After serving them, she looked outside and saw a sand basin of crispy pork in sour soup. This was cheating, she got it from the space. Fortunately, she chased everyone out when she was cooking.

Finally, stir-fry some salty mustard greens and a hearty lunch is ready.

Shen Meng brought all the prepared dishes to the square table in the main room, then shouted at the gate of the courtyard.

"Mingyang is calling your dad to come home for dinner!!!"

"Mingliang, are you listening? Go home and have dinner!"

Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang were following Lu Zhenping towards home. Hearing Shen Meng's voice, the two children ran towards home, followed by Mingfang and Mingkai.

"Mom, we are back. Dad caught several big fish in the river, including blackheads. Mom, can you make us some delicious fish tonight?"

Lu Mingliang ran very fast, and before he even arrived, the dinner had already been ordered.

Shen Meng was speechless for a moment. She wanted to rest at night, but looking at the child's hopeful eyes, she nodded.

"That's fine. We still have a lot of tofu at home. Mom will make you some fish tofu and hot pot to eat tonight. Go home first. You are sweating from playing. Go home and wash your face."

"Hey!"

Lu Mingyang looked at Shen Meng's kind look and also leaned over.

"Mom, do you see sweat on my head?"

Shen Meng: "Yes, then mother will wipe it for you."

"Thank you, mother."

The little guy also followed his brother's lead. He was willing to go home only after his forehead was wiped. The two men behind him followed suit, and even lined up with buckets. Shen Meng had a stiff face, not wanting to lose her temper at the gate of the courtyard. For a moment, she felt like a bath-scrubbing auntie, and all of them were just waiting for her to clean up!

When Lu Zhenping came closer, Shen Meng looked around and saw that there was no one around. She not only wiped his forehead, but also kissed him on the face. Then she shook her arms and left without a trace.

All that was left was the man's excitement, joy and the friendship in his eyes.

It seems that we can eat meat tonight. These past two days Mingkai always wanted to sleep with his mother. He also went to bed too late because of hunting game. He could only look at it but not eat it, could touch it but not kiss it, and he felt like he was being scratched by a cat in his heart.

Looking at the sumptuous food on the table, Mingyang and the other children felt so happy that they were about to bubble over. As expected, their mother only needed to make a move to know whether there was enough food or not.

Their father either cooks sweet potato tea steamed buns or cornmeal porridge, and when things are better he can cook two dishes, both of which are prepared for their mother. Now they can finally eat the meals cooked by their mother.

"Eat more. There are some big bones stewed in the pot for you. They are very delicious when dipped in this sauce. This big piece is for your dad to eat. Children can't open their mouths that wide."

She stewed the wild boar meat for the whole morning. The soup was fresh and delicious. The most important thing was to dip the meat in the sauce and eat it in big mouthfuls. It was really satisfying. The meat was stewed until it was very soft and even children could eat it without any difficulty.

Shen Meng used chopsticks and a soup spoon to pick up the biggest one for Lu Zhenping, and distributed the rest to the children. Mingkai didn't get the big bone, so she gave him two spare ribs, which he also ate. After she finished distributing, she took a steamed bun for herself, ate the vegetables while drinking a mouthful of hot soup, and then looked at the cold wind blowing outside, and felt comfortable all over.

Lu Zhenping glanced at Shen Meng, dipped the thin meat he had torn off from his big bone in some sauce and put it on the plate in front of Shen Meng, then sucked the bone and scooped out a small piece for himself.

"You can eat it yourself. I don't like these."

"Being skinny is annoying. Eat more, gain strength, and gain weight. Most of the time when I'm with you, I hope we are evenly matched."

Shen Meng: “.”

Look at your shameless look, it's so slutty!!!
Mingyang glanced at his father, and couldn't understand why he was just eating his meal and blurting out an idiom to his mother. It was really hurtful. He knew that his mother had just received her primary school diploma, so why was he showing off his knowledge here? Didn't he see that his mother's face was red with anger? His father really didn't know how to make his mother happy.

"Drink soup!"

"Okay, okay, mom will serve it to you. By the way, let's make fish tofu and have it in a hot pot tonight. Can we invite your uncle, aunt, Xiaogang and Xiaoni?"

"it is good."

Fish are not a rare thing in the countryside. If you want to eat fish, just go to the river and catch one. During the Chinese New Year, everyone adheres to the principle of putting a fish on the dinner table, which means there will be surplus every year. Anyway, the family catches a lot of fish, so they can eat it together.

"Mother, when I was fishing with father, I saw Brother Aman. He said he had received a letter from the capital. It seemed that there was news about their rehabilitation. He might return to the city after the New Year. He asked me to tell you. He also said that someone sent him a money note and asked us not to buy things for him because he had money."

"What he has is his. We gave it to him. When he gets to the city, he will have more places to spend money. Just let him keep his money well. We'll send some of the bone soup to him and his grandfather later tonight."

"it is good."

No one would say anything if a child ran around every day, but if an adult went to the cowshed, it would be conspicuous.

Shen Meng would never listen to A'man. This man is the heroine's biggest connection after she went to Beijing. Now he is a big fish in her fish pond. Even if they don't interact much in normal times, she has to flatter him and maintain a close but distant relationship.

"There are still a lot of frozen buns and dumplings at home. Bring some over and let them hide them. They can eat them whenever they want. They can't leave them out today. Also, I have to tell them a few things. Even if they are going back to Beijing soon, they can't show it now, otherwise they will be caught."

"Mom, I understand. I will explain it to Brother Aman."

Halfway through the meal, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Lu Miaomiao and Lu Lanhua stood at the door calling for help in unison, with Zhou Jiaojiao standing next to them, stroking her belly.

"Brother and sister-in-law, I'm Miaomiao. I'm here to visit my mother's house today. Are you home? Come to my mother's house for dinner. We've cooked meat!"

"Are you there, sister-in-law? I haven't seen Mingkai for a long time. I missed him so much that I even brought him some candy. Sister-in-law, please open the door. Let's have a good meal. There's meat, your favorite big fat meat."

Zhou Jiaojiao was speechless. Open your nostrils and smell it carefully. The smell of the food makes people faint. Yet you keep talking about eating. You must have been a glutton in your previous life!
