It's autumn now, and considering Grandpa Lu's age, Lu Yulan decided to cook rice and made a dish of shrimp in tomato sauce, a dish of stir-fried tomatoes, and a dish of stir-fried beef with green peppers. The beef was kindly provided by Liu An. All of these dishes are suitable for autumn. She also stewed a cucumber and vegetable soup.

Most of the ingredients were sourced from the Lu family's kitchen; those not available were taken from Lu Yulan's own storage space.

I don’t know when she developed the habit of hoarding things like a hamster. Anyway, she keeps two or three of each kind of food in her storage space. Maybe it’s because of Bailey’s attack that she always feels safer having things on her person.

Three dishes and a soup, not much, but enough in quantity. After thinking about it, I added a Mapo Tofu dish.

The bald man watched as Lu Yulan took out ingredients from her spatial storage one by one, and he was quite...

Mapo tofu is all about the numbing spiciness and savory aroma. Paired with finely minced meat and thickened with a rich, dark sauce, it's smooth, tender, and fragrant. The aroma of the beans complements the minced meat, which has fully absorbed the broth. It's best enjoyed hot with rice.

Lu Yulan didn't like the Sichuan peppercorns, so after the aroma came out, she picked them out and put them aside. She then said to the bald man, "Go and call Grandpa Lu. It's time for us to eat."

At the dinner table, Grandpa Lu's personal computer continued to ring incessantly. Lu Yulan looked towards the stairwell but did not see her younger brother.

"Don't worry about him. Just leave him some food later. How can a son of the Lu family not be able to handle such a blow?"

That being said, Lu's younger brother is a bit younger than Lu Yulan, seventeen years old, a time when he is young and vigorous, full of rich and innocent emotions, and this is no small blow.

"Grandpa, I'll go and call Fang Yao down."

Grandpa Lu sighed and waved his hand, "Go."

Lu's younger brother's room was easy to spot; there was a mecha poster on the door that Lu Yulan couldn't understand.

After knocking twice, Lu's younger brother did not answer. Lu Yulan tried again and opened the door directly.

The room was a complete mess, and Lu Yulan couldn't see where her younger brother was at all. She finally understood why her grandfather had sighed.

She had no idea where to begin with this room.

"Xiaomi, please connect me to the smart home system and have the house cleaned."

【OK.】

Once the room was finally a little cleaner, they found Lu's younger brother curled up in the corner under the bed, already asleep, with tear stains still on his face.

Lu Yulan gently tapped the ground twice, trying to wake the other person.

Lu's younger brother suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Big brother?!"

"It's me, not my older brother."

"Sister-in-law, no, I really can't call you sister-in-law anymore."

As he said this, Lu's younger brother buried himself again. "When we were little, the three of us would play hide-and-seek. Every time I hid under the bed, no matter how long it took, my older brother would always find me."

Lu Didi's tone was low. Rather than saying that Lu Yuanhong was his older brother, it would be more accurate to say that he was both a father and an older brother. After all, Lu's parents were not at home when he was young, and when Lu Didi got older, his parents had already passed away, so he became even more dependent on Lu Yuanhong.

“I can’t call you sister-in-law anymore, but I can call you sister. It’s the same. We’re still family. Lu Yuanhong can’t come to find you, but I will. He will find you again someday.”

"Grandpa Lu is still in this family. Where is he? He's already so sad. Do you want to make him, an old man, worry about you again?"

As he spoke, he dragged Lu's younger brother out from under the bed.

"sister."

Lu Fangyao wanted to cry while holding Lu Yulan, but he couldn't.

What will I do in the future?

"Do what needs to be done. Grandpa is still waiting for Lu Yuanhong to come back. You should be like him, always waiting for him to come back, and then support the Lu family."
