Cluck

"Oil."

"good!"

Chen Yu shouted, and Lu Zisheng shook his head left and right. He found it, but was annoyed by the oil on the bottle getting on his hands. He used a piece of paper to rub it for a long time before he poured it in respectfully.

"Meat."

"good!"

Chen Yu shouted again, and Lu Zisheng nodded. He picked up the pieces one by one, smelled them, and hesitated for a long time before throwing them over respectfully.

"Then……"

"Wow, Chen Yu, you are a master of dog training!" Gao Liyang moved a small stool and sat at the kitchen door, with nowhere to put his long legs. He looked at Chen Yu who was at ease, and then at Lu Zisheng who was in a panic. The two people were completely on different channels.

It would be better to harass his sister Zhou.

"Wow!"

“Thank you.”

"Oil! Oil is coming out! Oh wow! My hand!"

"Chen Yu! Help! Turn it over! Turn it down! Turn down the heat!"

Lu Zisheng picked up the pot lid to cover his face, took several steps back, tried again, and then took a cat-like step forward.

Chen Yu had looked enough with his arms crossed, and finally took pity on him and helped him turn it over.

A hint of fragrance wafted out. Gao Liyang sent a message, put down his phone, and clapped his hands: "Master Lu Zisheng, that's enough. Aren't you ashamed?"

"You've cooked before, but I haven't. Oh my god, no one told me that cooking with such cheap oil is a waste of time. Why would you stick it on me?" Lu Zisheng frowned and held the spatula tremblingly.

Although he also lived in the countryside, he had two doting grandchildren. He had never been in the kitchen and had never even touched a vegetable.

"Hey! It's all right now!"

"Stir it up again."

"Ahhh! It's blurry!"

"Add something."

"Oh, I forgot! Wait a minute!"

When new ingredients are added, there is a crackling sound and a small curl of smoke comes out.

"Ouch!"

"turn."

"oh!"

Chen Yu glanced at Lu Zisheng and shook his head.

"Oh! Tsk! Why can't I turn it over!"

Chen Yu leaned his hands on the platform behind him and frowned.

"Ouch! It fell out!"

Lu Zisheng stared at a piece of pork belly that was thrown out with a "smack", blinked, slowly turned his head and asked for help.

Chen Yu sighed and pointed: "Pick it up and throw it away."

"Ah, ah, good!"

Lu Zisheng dropped the spatula, took a piece of paper, carefully wrapped it up, and smelled it.

"It smells so good, little pig. I'm sorry you didn't make use of your nutritional value. Now you're in my stomach and will be thrown away. In your next life, or in this life, just rot and become nutrients!"

"hehe."

Gao Liyang couldn't help but want to stuff the piece of meat into Lu Zi's mouth without caring about anything else. What a scumbag, a scumbag who wasted food.

…

After Lu Zisheng Meimei took the photos, he sent them to his mother to report, then threw away his phone and started working.

A second before putting it into his mouth, he was smart enough to observe the reactions of the two people opposite him.

Very good, normal.

"Ah, ugh!"

"It's too salty!" Lu Zisheng frowned so hard that he could kill a mosquito.

Gao Liyang and Chen Yu both put down their chopsticks and drank a sip of water without changing their expressions.

"Haha, now you know, is it salty or not? Is it delicious or not?"

Lu Zisheng took several gulps of water and smacked his lips. "So salty! So salty! Why don't you just shut up? I'm waiting for you two! You two have such dark hearts!"

"I told you not to shake your hands. Very good, you did it, but you didn't listen to my advice and doubted my ability." Chen Yu turned his chopsticks to the dish he was cooking.

"I see, it's just a little bit of salt, it's not enough. My aunt puts so much salt, I thought..." Lu Zisheng remembered that one time when he went to the kitchen to find food, he happened to see his aunt scoop a large spoonful of salt and throw it on the fish.

"Who would use so much salt when cooking? Is it possible that they only use it when pickling vegetables?"

"That seems to make sense. Ah, what should we do now?"

Chen Yu moved a plate of potatoes and pork belly toward Lu Zisheng: "Eat it, you cooked it, come on!"

"Stop joking. Good brothers share happiness and hardships. After all, this is my first time cooking, so give me some face!" Lu Zisheng quietly pushed the delicious dishes towards himself.

"By the way, Zhou Xi said that her neighbor's grandfather will treat us to dinner tonight."

Chen Yu put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm in for a treat."

"Why do you say that?"

"I've run into Grandpa Zhong a few times at the market before. He's an expert at picking vegetables."

The town is not big, and he sees many people buying vegetables here, so he always recognizes his face. He has chatted with the old man on the road a few times before and learned some cooking tips, but he has never had the chance to visit him in person.

"That's perfect. You can move your boxes over there by then."

"Wait a minute! I'll leave the junk food with you first!"

Lu Zisheng thought that if these things were seen by the old man, even if he couldn't see them, he would at least be able to smell them. Then it would be difficult for him to pretend to be a good boy, and he couldn't let Gao Liyang take the limelight alone.

Two suitcases were thrown on Chen Yu's electric scooter, and there was nowhere to put his legs, so he had to spread them out and lean them to one side. There were two little people following behind to lead the way, so he couldn't go fast at all.

After winding around the bends, I finally turned into the yard and was about to stop steadily when I heard the roar of a Hedong lion behind me.

"Finally here—"

Chen Yu shook his hand, and the box fell to the ground in disgrace. The black box also shrank into a yellow harlequin.

"No, buddy! Your driving skills are not good enough, you just can't keep steady!"

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

"Hey, here they come! Come in quickly!" Zhong Yinan stood at the gate of the yard with his hands behind his back, making way for a few young men.

"Hello, Master Zhong! I'm Lu Zisheng!"

"Hello, Grandpa Zhong, I'm Gao Liyang."

"Grandpa Zhong."

“Hey hey hey!”

"You come in first."

"Hey, you guys are standing together like soldiers. I have to lift my head to look at you because I'm tall."

"Hey, Grandpa, you're not short at all. You look healthy and in better shape than my grandparents."

Lu Zisheng's grandparents also live in the countryside. Although his family is very rich, the two old people just refuse to listen to advice and cannot sit idle. They insist on guarding a few old houses in the countryside, facing the loess and working with their backs to the sky. Fortunately, they have regular check-ups and are in good health, so they just go along with them.

"Hahaha, that's right. They're nothing like the young people nowadays, who are all as skinny as ribs."

Zhong Yinan shouted to the side, and soon Zhou Xi came out wearing shorts and slippers.

"Here it comes." Zhou Xi was holding a large watermelon half covered with plastic wrap in his hand.

"Xiao Xi, take them upstairs and I'll cut some watermelon for you."

"good."

"Grandpa, let me help you, Yangyang, help me move it."

Before Gao Liyang could refuse, Lu Zisheng had already followed him to the kitchen. Not to mention Chen Yu, since it wasn't his box, how could he possibly get involved?

"Okay, eat more watermelon, it will quench your thirst."

"Let's go." Zhou Xi didn't lend a hand. She knew without a doubt that the box was light and could be handled by one person.

It would have been fine if it was just one box, but with two boxes plus Gao Liyang's own size, the stairs seemed a bit narrow.

"Zhou Xiaoxi, please help me. Why are you walking so fast? Are you in a hurry to eat watermelon too?"

Zhou Xi stood higher than Gao Liyang, lowered his head, and saw a small swirl on the top of the boy's head: "You are not tired."

Gao Liyang waited for a while, but the man actually turned around and left without any mercy. It seems that he should use a more miserable tone next time.

"Oh, then please slow down. I'm so bored alone!"

The guest rooms were on the second floor. Zhou Xi saw through Gao Liyang's trick and actually slowed down his pace and waited at the stairs.

"Two, you can choose any one."

Gao Liyang didn't rush to push the box in, but followed Zhou Xi to take a look around first.

Zhou Xi opened the window and took out the bed sheet from the cabinet.

"Hey, I'll do it, you sit down."

Gao Liyang felt that he was extravagant. It was really embarrassing for a person like him to live in someone else's house and even ask a girl to make the bed for him.

It’s unacceptable, it’s unacceptable, it’s definitely not acceptable!

Zhou Xi didn't refuse, let go of her hand, turned around and took out a pillow and an air-conditioned quilt from the cabinet.

A breeze blew in, bringing with it the scent of osmanthus. Gao Liyang was glad that he had taken allergy medicine in advance. There were many flowers and plants in the countryside. If he had smelled them, he would have been covered in red spots, which would have been a real eyesore.

Gao Liyang looked up and looked outside: "Hey, this is your house next door, so do you live on the second floor as well?"

"Well, that's the room this window faces. What's wrong?"

"No, I was just curious, so I made it." Gao Liyang has been making his own bed since he was a child, and he is very familiar with it.

There is another reason. His son Wangzai always likes to nestle in his bed and roll out a bed of cat hair, which makes him have to do the cleaning all the time.

"Perfect, I'll take this one."

"Next one."

Gao Liyang stopped Zhou Xi, pushed his suitcase in, and closed the door: "There's no need to help him with his room. Master Lu, learn to make the bed yourself."

Zhou Xi saw Gao Liyang's evil intentions and raised his eyebrows: "Smart."

"That's it."

"Let's go down and eat melons."

Gao Liyang was right. Eat more. Lu Zisheng ate several pieces of watermelon by himself. The lunch dishes were too salty. The weather was hot and he was sweating all over after coming here from Chen Yu's house.

Half a big watermelon was just taken out of the refrigerator. I took a bite and was left with only one word.

Cool!

Finally, all the melons were eaten, leaving only the white rinds. Zhong Yinan collected the rinds and dumped them in the small house in the backyard. After a while, there was a cluck, cluck, cluck sound, and the chicken wings flapped non-stop.

"Smart, Grandpa, second use!"

"That's it. Come, pick one." Zhong Yinan went to the well to wash his hands.

"ah?"

Gao Liyang scolded Lu Zisheng: "Hurry up, why don't you thank Grandpa!"

"Hey!" Zhong Yinan patted Lu Zisheng, "Pick a chicken and kill it tomorrow. Today's dishes are ready."

"Chickens, chickens, are you really going to kill them? Why not raise them?" Lu Zisheng leaned over the wooden fence and counted them. There were ten chickens and ten ducks next door.

Isn't this just perfect? ​​Killing one would ruin the atmosphere.

"I've been raising them for a while now, and it's just perfect. Xiaoxi's grandmother and I can't kill them at home. We can't finish them at all, and they won't be fresh if we keep them for a few days. We have to wait until there are more people around to enjoy them!"

Zhou Xi picked up a piece of dry corn and without much effort, the corn kernels fell like rain. A group of chickens crowded around, making it very lively.

“Let me try!”

Zhou Xi took another one from the bag hanging next to him and gave it to Gao Liyang.

"Any tips?"

"No, great strength works miracles."

"Well, how about this one!" Lu Zisheng also squeezed over and selected the ten chickens.

"This one, I picked a spotted rooster, haha! Okay, do you want soup, steamed, or stir-fried?"

"Grandpa, stew it. I can drink two more bowls of soup." Lu Zisheng squatted down and observed carefully.

"good……"

“Chuckle!”

"Click!"

"Ooooh! Da!"

"Lu Zisheng!"

Gao Liyang stood up suddenly and almost ate a mouthful of dust.

"Hey! I got it!" Lu Zisheng held up a long, thin chicken feather. "Beautiful!"

"Ouch! The rooster hates you!" Zhong Yinan snatched the feather, "It's still quite beautiful."

"That's right. I'm a chicken killer. When I was a kid, all the chickens in the village would hide when they saw me!"

Xu Shulan was not feeling well in the evening, so after dinner, she went back to rest so as not to disturb the young people from having fun.

Lu Zisheng glanced at his phone and Gao Yuanyuan replied with a drooling emoticon to the food photo he posted in the group.

Lu Zisheng pressed the save button and sent a finger-hook emoticon.

Gao Yuanyuan has another crying emoticon pack, and Lu Zisheng has saved it again. He has all kinds of emoticons here, all of which were stolen from several people.

Gao Yuanyuan's is the cute type, Xiao Xiaoyu's is the fighting type, Chen Yu's is the messy type, Gao Liyang's is the cool type, and Zhou Xi's is under investigation and no conclusion has been drawn yet.

Lu Zisheng scooped a spoonful of fried peanuts into his own bowl and ate them with his hands: "By the way, Xiao Xiaoyu hasn't made any noise in a few days. Is she holding back something big? That's not like her style."

"Why don't you just ask directly?" Zhou Xi finished eating and drank a bowl of corn and pork ribs soup.

"Tsk! Sister Zhou, you don't understand this. It's so boring to ask directly. I just want to see when she can't hold it back anymore!"

"report."

"Damn it! Chen Yu, you're such a scoundrel! Did you accept a red envelope from Xiao Xiaoyu? Are you a traitor?"

Chen Yu calmly drank a sip of Wangzai milk: "Do you think I look like a rich person?"

"Yes, you and Zhou Xi have participated in many competitions and activities, so you must have made a lot of money. And you are still pretending to be poor? I don't believe you!"

Lu Zisheng turned his eyes away, still thinking that the wine was delicious.

"Ah?" Gao Liyang didn't hear clearly, so he tilted his head and asked Zhou Xi.

"I say, what do you have missing?"

"No, Grandpa Zhong's is quite complete, beyond my expectation."

Zhou Xi nodded and said casually, "Nine dollars and ninety-nine for wholesale."

"Ah? Is this true?"

"Fake, free."

"Um?"

Gao Liyang touched his ear. He didn't drink the fruit wine that Zhong Yinan brought out. Was he drunk just by smelling it?

"His students dragged a cart of them here."

"Oh my god? You can do this, what a talent."

Zhou Xi smiled, remembering that many years ago, the second floor of Zhong Yinan's house was still empty. One time, his students came to play, and they joked that Zhong Yinan's students from all classes liked to come and play with him, so he might as well clear the second floor for them to live in.

Twelve or thirteen successful people crowded around a table, not caring about their image, drinking, playing drinking games, chatting, and recounting interesting things from their school days.

Zhong Yinan smiled and said yes, but he didn't expect that his student was serious about it. Two days later, a large truck dropped in from the sky, fully equipped, just like a hotel.

When I asked, it turned out to be true.

Zhou Xi saw through Gao Liyang's thoughts and put down his chopsticks: "Change career, he's running a pretty good hotel."

"What a talent! As a professor, he has soldiers in every field."

"Won't you be someone else's soldier in the future?"

Gao Liyang snapped his fingers and said, "Well, as a soldier, I'm definitely a good soldier."

After dinner, after clearing the table, Zhong Yinan asked a few people if they wanted to play chess. Chess, Go, checkers, military chess, or Gobang, you can choose any one of them.

In the ring match, two people play a round. The winner continues to play, and the loser is replaced.

Lu Zisheng had also learned a trick from the old men in the village. He hadn't been here for a while, so he was itching to try it out. "Okay! Come on, come on, I can do it. What do you guys think?"

"I've had enough fun, you guys have fun."

Zhou Xi was treated as a playmate by Zhong Yinan since she was a child and was abused a lot. Later, when she became stronger, she also played a lot. It was because the old man was full of energy that he would drag her to play every day whenever he was free. She was no match for him.

"Hey, Tongtong, go play in the fields if you have nothing to do. Get some cucumbers to make porridge with tomorrow morning."

"Okay." How could Zhou Xi refuse? The old man had a good plan.

"Remember to change your pants and put on some toilet water before going!"

The old man is quite nice.

"Let me do one." Chen Yu followed Lu Zisheng in.

Gao Liyang glanced at Zhou Xi and made a decisive decision: "I'll go with you."

"Oh, come with me."

"Where are you going?"

"My home." Zhou Xi fixed his eyes on Gao Liyang for a moment and snapped his fingers. "What are you thinking about?"

Gao Liyang heard some noises, his expression complicated, and he pursed his lips: "I was wondering, can I just stay at your house and lie down for a while?"

As it approaches mid-month, the moon becomes rounder and brighter, and the moonlight casts a faint halo on my body.

Zhou Xi suddenly discovered that Gao Liyang's eyes were particularly beautiful under the moon. They were bright, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow. He could see clearly through those eyes, and now there was only himself in those eyes.

"no."

"Hey! Wait for me, why are you running?"
