Chapter 45 Lu Zhanlin: It’s great to have a wife

Chu Yue beat three eggs in one breath, all of which were big and yellow pheasant eggs. She beat the eggs, waited for the oil temperature to reach 90% cooked, and then poured them into the iron pan. The sizzling sound accompanied by the aroma of eggs filled every corner of the room.

Eggs are a food that absorbs a lot of oil. If you want them to taste good, you have to add a lot of oil. Generally, people in the 1970s were reluctant to add too much oil, but Chu Yue was willing to do so.

So when the egg liquid touches the hot oil, it swells up like a balloon, golden yellow, just like a golden cake.

When Lu Yuanbao walked into the kitchen, he just smelled the strongest fragrance.

He stopped suddenly, his face showing a dazed expression as if he was intoxicated by the fragrance, staring at Chu Yue with his dark eyes.

Chu Yue turned around and saw this scene, and the corners of her mouth rose naturally.

She took the fried eggs out of the pan. The originally plump eggs would shrink back when they came into contact with the air, but even though they shrank, they still smelled fragrant.

Chu Yue tore off a small piece from the edge of the big, round egg, blew on it, and then walked towards Lu Yuanbao.

"Open your mouth."

Lu Yuanbao has become very accustomed to Chu Yue's simple and clear commanding words, and she will just open her mouth when asked to do so without asking why.

Next second.

The fragrant fried egg was stuffed into Lu Yuanbao's mouth. It felt hot on the tip of his tongue, and his mouth was full of smooth eggs and grease.

Chu Yue raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"tasty!"

Lu Yuanbao nodded without hesitation, and swallowed the egg with such force. He even licked the grease on his lips with his tongue. It smelled so good!

"It's delicious. Eat more when you eat. Eat well and you'll be strong. Then you'll have more strength to fight and you won't lose."

Chu Yue clapped her hands and turned back to deal with the food on the stove.

Lu Yuanbao followed Chu Yue closely, not because he was greedy and wanted to eat fried eggs, but... his eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked hesitant and conflicted.

He came closer and looked up and said.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't hit anyone."

Chu Yue put down the work in her hands and looked down at Lu Yuanbao, who looked guilty, as if he had made a huge mistake.

It's so small, without the sharp edge of a wolf cub. It's clearly a cute little ball.

Chu Yue felt a strange sense of satisfaction in her heart for being able to raise a little kid into a soft little ball.

She squatted down and said to Lu Yuanbao seriously, "Yuanbao, there are many kinds of beatings. If a bad person bullies you and you fight back, it's not beating, but self-defense. It's just, it's right, it's to protect yourself. If you bully a child who is weaker than you because you are strong, then beating people like that is wrong. So there's no need to say sorry, you didn't do anything wrong today. On the contrary, you behaved very well, and you should be rewarded."

"award?"

Lu Yuanbao's eyebrows frowned even tighter. He never thought that not only would he not be scolded, but he would be rewarded instead.

Chu Yue nodded, curling her lips, "Yes, there is a reward! Because you won. Winning means getting a reward. You can't lose next time, understand?"

Lu Yuanbao had never heard such words before, but what Chu Yue said seemed to make a lot of sense, and he nodded unconsciously.

Chu Yue took a look at the newly tidied sugar jars, opened one and took out a piece of rock sugar.

Just like before, he stuffed it into Lu Yuanbao's little mouth.

"This is your reward. Dinner is coming up soon, so you can't eat too much. I'll give you one to satisfy your craving."

It's sugar.

Lu Yuanbao held the rock candy in his mouth and licked it with his tongue. It was so sweet!

He narrowed his eyes unconsciously, like a soft and fluffy Chinese pastoral dog.

On the stove, the rice had been cooking for twenty minutes. The high heat was turned down to low heat, and the two steamed dishes were also ready.

Chu Yue patted Lu Yuanbao's head and said, "Okay, call your dad to eat."

Your father - what a magical name. It seems so unfamiliar, but it becomes familiar all of a sudden.

Chu Yue carried the food out and did not see Lu Zhanlin in the house. Instead, she saw a tall man coming in from outside the door and shaking off the dirt on his body. It was already pitch black outside the house.

Lu Zhanlin was a little different at this time. He took off his meticulous military jacket, held a hoe in his hand, and his feet were covered with mud. Looking at the box, he went to hoe the ground.

Lu Zhanlin washed his hands and looked at Chu Yue, "Do you want to farm in the yard?"

"...Well, it's a waste to leave such a large piece of land lying idle. We should plant some vegetables and radishes. That will be enough for our family to eat."

Lu Zhanlin liked the word "we" when Chu Yue said it. "Next time, don't do such tiring physical work by yourself. Tell me and I'll do it. I just plowed the remaining land once. I'll come back and plow it again later and it will be almost done."

Lu Zhanlin's expression was gentle and his tone was calm, just like a normal conversation between a couple.

Ever since Chu Yue met Lu Zhanlin, he was the majestic and unattainable Captain Lu. She almost forgot that Captain Lu was also from the countryside and was a good hand at working in the fields when he was young. He was much more capable than Chu Yue, who changed his career lately.

The cool and aloof military officer suddenly turns into a peasant, so interesting!

Chu Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's eat."

At dinner, Chu Yue made baby cabbage with sausage and Henan steamed dishes, which Lu Zhanlin and Lu Yuanbao had never seen before. The father and son showed similar doubts, but after taking a bite, the fragrance lingered on their teeth and cheeks, and their taste buds were instantly awakened.

It turned out to be unexpectedly delicious.

Especially Lu Zhanlin. When he first saw Chu Yue's delicate and fair appearance, he thought she had never been in the kitchen and would make a bunch of weird dishes.

It seems that her daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is not simple.

There was an imperceptible curve at the corner of Lu Zhanlin's mouth, and his chest felt warm. It was so good to have a wife, the man was secretly happy in his heart.

Chu Yue knew that Lu Yuanbao liked fried eggs, so she gave him most of it and put it in his small bowl, creating a golden blanket on the rice.

Lu Yuanbao was not tall enough, so he stood on tiptoe to pick up the bacon slices, and then put them in Chu Yue's bowl.

The family was having dinner when there was a knock on the door.

"Captain Lu, Captain Lu, are you home?"

It was not the voice of a military wife, but a man's voice.

Chu Yue's thoughts moved and she thought of something.

Lu Zhanlin put down his chopsticks, stood up and said to Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao, "You guys continue eating, I'll go out and take a look."

After Lu Zhanlin walked out the door, Chu Yue put down the chopsticks in her hand, her bright eyes shining.

She urged Lu Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, eat quickly. After you finish eating, I will take you to see a play."

Watch a show?

Is there a stage here?

Where does the opera come from?

Lu Yuanbao had a lot of questions in his head, but he held the bowl in his left hand and the chopsticks in his right hand, shoveling rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls, stuffing it all in one gulp, his cheeks puffed up, and he spoke vaguely.

"Wu—I'm done eating."

Chu Yue took him and walked into the small room quickly. She leaned against the window, opened a crack, and looked outside.

Considering the structure of the entire house, that window is closest to the door. Lu Zhanlin's figure can be seen through it, and the conversation of people outside the door can also be heard clearly.

Chu Yue listened to the sound, the show was about to begin——
