Rumor has it the Lu family picked up an unknown little girl and raised her like a precious princess.
She wears new clothes and eats chicken legs every day.
Everyone laughs at the Lu fam...
"I understand, Dad." Lu Zhili nodded in agreement, secretly pleased: as long as Mom and Dad don't scold my sister, they can scold me however they want. Hahaha—
Yunping and Lusen didn't change into clean clothes. Instead, they cleaned a large basin of fish and shrimp so they could cook them for dinner as soon as possible.
Lu Jingming and Lu Yanshu also helped wash the vegetables and boiled them first, otherwise they wouldn't have enough iron pots to cook the vegetables later.
Just then, a pot of bathwater was heated up, and Yunping told Lu Jingxing to take a bath first so that everyone could take turns.
Lu Chunhe quickly cleaned the big fish and marinated it with salt, ginger slices, and soy sauce for a while.
Because his clothes were too dirty, he poured a large bucket of warm water and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Just then, Lu Jingxing came out of the shower. He was dressed in clean clothes and looked refreshed. A happy smile appeared on his slender and handsome face.
At this moment, Lu Yanshu had already picked out a large plate of prawns, put them into the hot water in the iron pot to blanch them, and cooked them for four or five minutes until all the prawns turned red before taking them out and putting them on a plate.
He then used two large bowls to mix the minced ginger and garlic that An Wan had prepared earlier into a sauce that would make the boiled shrimp taste even better and fresher.
The kitchen was filled with smoke and the aroma of cooking oil and salt.
A mix of liveliness and peace.
Home should be a warm and safe haven, a safe haven.
Looking at the large plate of bright red prawns, An Wan's mouth watered. Having experienced two or three years of apocalypse in her previous life, she hadn't eaten prawns in a long time.
I don't even know what shrimp tastes like anymore.
Lu Zhili stood to the side, his eyes shining as he stared at a large plate of prawns, swallowing twice involuntarily.
"Wanwan, do you want to eat some? Have one!"
"Is it okay? It's not lunchtime yet." She didn't dare to move around too much, lest she offend others.
"It's alright, at worst everyone can have one. There's so much here, we can't finish it all in one meal. Besides, you caught the fish and shrimp, so it's only right that you eat first."
Lu Zhili always puts her first. If she wants to eat something, he'll peel a big shrimp for her, even if it means getting scolded by his parents.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanshu glared at Lu Zhili angrily. "Can't we wait until the food is cooked before we eat? Why are you in such a hurry to eat now?"
It's only been a few days, and his fifth brother is already being so nice to the ugly girl.
How annoying!
"Mom, can I let my little sister eat a big shrimp first?" Lu Zhili ran directly to ask Yunping, who was still cleaning the small fish.
“Sure, let Wanwan eat first. You caught this bowl of fish and shrimp, so it’s only right that you eat a few first.” When it comes to food, Yunping always puts the children first.
"Thank you, Mom, hahaha—" He ran back happily, glaring angrily at Lu Yanshu.
Humph! My brother is the worst; he won't let his sister eat shrimp.
Lu Zhili immediately picked up a very hot prawn from the plate with his hand. Ignoring the discomfort of the heat, he peeled the prawn while blowing on it to cool it down.
"Little sister, eat quickly." He dipped the peeled shrimp in sauce and held it to An Wan's lips, his eyes slightly red with urgency.
"Fifth Brother, doesn't your hand hurt?" This silly boy.
An Wan didn't expect him to peel a shrimp so quickly; she didn't even have time to stop him.
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, little sister, eat the shrimp."
"Yes, thank you, Fifth Brother."
An Wan opened her mouth and bit the shrimp that Lu Zhili was holding in his fingertips.
A burst of shrimp sweetness fills the mouth, accompanied by the salty and spicy aroma of scallions, garlic, and soy sauce.
"It's delicious, Fifth Brother, you should have some too." She picked up a large shrimp, blowing on it as she peeled the shell.
"Little sister, it's hot, let me do it! Don't hurt yourself." Seeing her holding the shrimp, Lu Zhili hurriedly tried to take the shrimp from her hand, afraid that she would burn her.
"It's okay, Fifth Brother, I can do it." She twisted her body, easily dodging his hand.
While quickly peeling the shrimp, she dipped it in some sauce and held it to his mouth.
In a sweet, childlike voice: "Fifth Brother, eat shrimp."
