She was originally the mercenary queen of the 23rd century, proficient in both medicine and poison. One day, she was betrayed by her adopted sister and boyfriend working together. In a fit of anger...
"Come on, come on, put your luggage back first and take a rest. I'll cook noodles for you." Zhang Sitong said.
"What's going on? You can actually cook noodles. Is it edible?" Su Ruoli was skeptical. A person who couldn't even recognize all the seasonings could actually cook noodles now.
"What's that expression on your face? You actually doubt me. Just wait and see. Hurry up and put your luggage away." Zhang Sitong slapped Su Ruoli.
A person muttered to himself as he walked towards the kitchen. Humph! How dare you doubt her? Just wait and see. She has been seriously learning to cook recently and has made some progress.
"Wait a minute, I'll put my luggage away and then clean up your room." Su Ruoli said and went back to the room with her luggage.
Lu Chen and his little bundle were the only ones left in the yard, looking quite lonely.
After Su Ruoli put the things back into the house, she slipped into the space to look for suitable sheets and quilt covers.
She chose carefully and finally selected two sets of gray sheets and quilt covers, which looked simple and comfortable. She took these things with satisfaction and slipped out of the space.
"Okay, let's go! We have three rooms in this yard, and one is empty. You can just stay here for a while!" Su Ruoli said to Lu Chen with a smile.
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Li'er, would it be inconvenient for me to live here? After all, there are only you and another girl in this yard. It would be a bit uncomfortable for a grown man like me to live here. Why don't I just stay with Liu Kaifan?"
Uh! That's right, she doesn't live here alone. Su Ruoli felt that Lu Chen's words made sense, and nodded, "Well, since you find it inconvenient, then go live with Liu Kaifan. However, you have to eat with us, so that the people in the Youth League won't say you're eating for free."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I know, I know!"
Su Ruoli said, "Then let's go after we finish eating the noodles. They should be ready soon."
Su Ruoli ran over and brought a small stool for Lu Chen. "Sit down for a while. I'll go take a look."
Zhang Sitong was busy in the kitchen.
Su Ruoli came to the kitchen and saw Zhang Sitong cooking noodles. She walked over and asked in surprise, "You really know how to cook noodles?"
Zhang Sitong rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "Of course, just wait and see how my cooking works."
The noodles were cooked soon and the three of them sat together to eat them.
Zhang Sitong looked at Su Ruoli and Lu Chen expectantly, waiting for their comments.
Su Ruoli took a bite, nodded, and said, "It tastes pretty good, quite delicious."
Lu Chen also agreed: "Yeah, it's delicious."
Zhang Sitong laughed happily after hearing this and said with a smug look on his face:
"Of course! How can you know how good you are if you don't push yourself? Look, you've only been out for a few days, and I've already mastered the amazing skill of cooking!
From now on, the kitchen at home is my world. You just need to enjoy the delicious food I make!
"Okay, then the kitchen will be left to you from now on, enjoy it!" Su Ruoli said with a smile.
A hint of curiosity flashed in Su Ruoli's eyes, and she asked softly, "Hey! By the way, where did you learn these superb noodle-making skills? They're quite impressive!"
As she spoke, she carefully observed the bowl of noodles in front of her, which was delicious in color, aroma and taste, as if she wanted to find the answer from it.
"These were all taught to me by Grandma Jane! How does it taste? Not bad, right?" Zhang Sitong raised her chin slightly, her face filled with pride.
Her bright big eyes sparkled with confidence, as if showing people her unique cooking talent and her deep respect and gratitude for her grandmother.
"Grandma taught you?" Su Ruoli asked in astonishment. Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.
I thought to myself: It’s really unexpected that grandma has such a hidden ability!
"Well! Eat quickly, don't be surprised, the noodles will become clumpy soon!" Zhang Sitong looked at Su Ruoli who was still in a daze in front of her and couldn't help but urge her.
As she spoke, she tapped the edge of the bowl with her chopsticks, making a crisp sound.
Su Ruoli finally came back to her senses and looked at the bowl of steaming noodles in front of her. It was covered with various seasonings and side dishes. The aroma was so fragrant that it made her mouth water.
She secretly sighed in her heart that Zhang Sitong was so thoughtful and even knew what flavor of noodles she liked.
Thinking of this, Su Ruoli no longer hesitated, picked up the chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls.
She thought this bowl of noodles was particularly delicious, and every bite was filled with warmth and happiness.
Seeing Su Ruoli continue to eat noodles, she also held her bowl and started eating in big mouthfuls.
After finishing the hot noodles, Su Ruoli was about to get up to clean the dishes and wash them, but was stopped by Zhang Sitong who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
She quickly reached out and snatched the bowl and chopsticks away, frowned, looked at Su Ruoli with disapproval and said, "Aren't you tired after traveling all this time?
"You'd better go back to your room and have a good rest! It's just a few bowls, let me wash them, it won't take long!" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen with the bowls in his arms.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Su Ruoli shouted towards Zhang Sitong's back.
Watching Zhang Sitong walk into the kitchen, Su Ruoli felt warm in her heart.
"Go find Liu Kaifan now?" Su Ruoli turned and asked Lu Chen.
"Okay, let's go and help digest the food." Lu Chen nodded and said.
"Then I'll go say hello to Uncle Guofeng. I've been gone for so many days."
"Okay, let's go."
"Wait, I'm going to get something. I can't go empty-handed." After saying that, Su Ruoli turned around and ran back into the house.
He slipped into the space, took out two kilograms of brown sugar and wrapped it in paper.
"Okay, let's go!"
Lu Chen picked up his small package and followed Su Ruoli out the door.
As they walked side by side, Lu Chen asked curiously, "Xiao Li'er, who is the Grandma Jian you were talking about just now?"
Su Ruoli was stunned for a moment, thinking secretly in her heart whether she should tell Lu Chen about her grandparents.
Seeing Su Ruoli standing there in a daze, motionless, Lu Chen seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his question, and quickly explained:
"Uh... I was just asking casually, I didn't mean anything else. If you feel uncomfortable saying it, that's okay." His tone seemed quite casual, trying to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.
"Uh...this..." Su Ruoli's lips trembled slightly, her mind was in a mess, but she couldn't find the right words to express her inner thoughts.
"Hey! Are you done with the autumn harvest?" Seeing Su Ruoli in trouble, Lu Chen tried to change the subject.
"Huh? It should... maybe... probably... be over, right?"
