After hearing what Jian Shu said, Meng Ying didn't force him. "It's fine to cook at home. It just so happens that your uncle Zhao brought back two hams a few days ago. You can take one back later."

"I came here once and brought back so many good things. If I come a few more times, I won't have to worry about anything at home." Jianshu joked with her with a smile.

"Come on, come anytime you want. As long as you come, you can take away all the good things in the house." Meng Ying laughed out loud at her teasing.

Some casual chat.

"When did you come? Are you hungry? I'll go cook for you. I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't buy any vegetables at home. I'll go to the cafeteria and get two meat dishes later." Meng Ying thought of it and walked towards the kitchen.

Jianshu followed behind her, smiling but saying nothing.

Upon entering the kitchen, Meng Ying was stunned. A row of delicious dishes were arranged on the table. At the very front was a large pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, topped with vermicelli noodles simmered in rich oil and sauce. Next to it was a dish of sweet and sour pork, followed by scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried vegetables.

As she walked over, the aroma of food filled her nose. Suddenly, she remembered the smell of chicken she had smelled when she first entered the room.

"You did all this?"

"Hmm!" Jian Shu leaned against the door with his arms folded across his chest, an expression of indescribable pride on his face. "How's it going? Not bad, right?"

Meng Ying laughed, "Not bad, not bad, our Shushu is so amazing, his cooking is the best!"

"When will Uncle Zhao be back? And Lingling, will she come back for lunch or eat directly in the company cafeteria?" Jian Shu looked towards the door and asked casually.

Looking at the time, Meng Ying replied, "Your Uncle Zhao will be here for a while. Ruirui should be back by now. As for Lingling, the department store is too far away. She eats in the cafeteria and will be back in the evening."

The department store was quite a distance from the compound, and the trip back and forth for lunch meant she had no time to rest. It was really too much of a hassle. Fortunately, her workplace also had a cafeteria, so she ate there at noon and returned home after get off work in the evening.

"It's okay to eat in the cafeteria. The cafeterias in department stores are pretty good anyway, and the dishes can at least have some meat flavor." Jianshu used to eat in the cafeteria every winter, so he had some understanding of this.

Because department stores offer good benefits and decent salaries, people who work there are willing to spend more. Therefore, meat dishes are often served in the cafeteria at every meal. While they're often shredded or minced meat, and the portions aren't large, they're still enough. At least you don't have to spend extra meat tickets, right? Therefore, many people choose to eat in the cafeteria.

She didn't choose to eat in the cafeteria often because her home was close and the food she cooked was better. Only when the winter wind was cold did she not want to go home to cook in the wind and snow.

Meng Ying nodded. "Yes, if I eat at the company, I can rest for a while before going back to work. If I go back, I'll spend most of my time on the road and won't be able to rest. I'm bound to feel tired in the afternoon."

Speaking of rest, Jian Shu suddenly remembered something. "Aunt, give Lingling the key to the courtyard. Let her go home and rest after lunch. There's a ready-made room and bed. She can just spread out the quilt and sleep there. It's definitely more comfortable than sleeping on her stomach at work. And sleeping like that in winter can easily catch a cold."

When I was a student, I basically lay on the table during lunch break. Every time I woke up at noon, my neck would be sore, my legs and feet would be numb, or my arms would be numb from being pressed down. Anyway, I never felt good.

There was no way back then, but now that there is a house nearby, why should I make things difficult for myself?

It was because she hadn't thought of this before, otherwise she would have spoken up long ago.

She didn't say anything, and Meng Ying and the others didn't think about it either. The key to the Jian family courtyard was basically given to them as a spare key. Jian Shu was not at home, and they were usually busy and didn't go there often, so the key was put in the bottom of the box. If it wasn't mentioned, they would have forgotten about it.

Meng Ying was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was a good idea, so she smiled and said, "That's a good idea. When your sister comes back in the evening, I'll give her the key."

"Not just at noon, but also when the weather is bad in winter, we can let her live there directly. There are neighbors nearby. I can tell them when the time comes and ask them to help take care of her. With Uncle Qian's care, there is no need to worry about her safety." Jian Shu added.

She had experienced the winter weather before, and it was really painful to have to commute too far to work.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll tell Lingling when she comes back." Meng Ying nodded with a smile.

The two chatted for a while. Meng Ying saw that Zhao Tianrui had not returned yet. She checked the time and stood up with a raised eyebrow. "This little bastard is really a jerk. It's already so late and he still hasn't come back for dinner!"

After the holiday, he has been getting into trouble every day. I didn’t have the time to deal with him before. He is getting bolder and bolder, and he even forgets to come home for meals.

The anger of many days has accumulated and it is unbearable. There is no need to endure it anymore. There is no need to choose a time to deal with the naughty child. Every day is a good day.

Jianshu was not an outsider, so she had no scruples at all and no intention of settling the score later. She rolled up her sleeves, picked up a rattan stick from the corner, opened the door and walked out.

Jianshu, who followed behind, watched this scene and couldn't help but mourn for Zhao Tianrui in his heart. May God bless you and not let you be beaten too badly.

After the formal worrying process, Jianshu, who had already done her best to show her sisterly love, quickly grinned silently and followed with a gloating look, wanting to be the first to witness the domestic violence scene.

After searching two places Zhao Tianrui frequented without success, they finally caught him in the act in a forest in the southwest corner of the compound.
