No one had ever made longevity noodles for her.
Qiao Qingqing turned back and said, "Okay, Auntie, thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? You're just too reserved." Shi Meiyun said as she walked into the kitchen.
Mr. Lu also sat down and asked her kindly, "Where did Ah Heng take you today?"
Qiao Qingqing told him where they had been.
After a while, Mr. Lu suddenly sighed.
"Child, it is our Lu family that has let you down."
Qiao Qingqing pursed her lips. Did the old man guess the fate of the Lu family?
"No one can say they can stay out of this situation. Since the Lu family has been targeted, I'm afraid it will be hard to escape." Mr. Lu looked melancholy. "It's a pity that we just learned the news, otherwise I wouldn't let Ah Heng marry you... In this situation, maybe the Lu family will drag you down."
When Qiao Qingqing heard him say that, her expression softened slightly.
"Grandpa Lu, I've already signed up to go to the countryside, so it should be fine. Besides, you are you, and Lu Heng is Lu Heng. He has only been in the army for a few years and hasn't done anything. It would take some effort for others to drag him into the water."
Mr. Lu's worry faded a little. "If it weren't for your cleverness tonight, with Ah Heng's temper, he would have fallen into someone's trap by now. If Ah Heng can get through this, our whole family will thank you."
As she was speaking, Shi Meiyun brought a bowl of steaming longevity noodles to the table.
"Qingqing, come and try my cooking. I fried two eggs for you. I hope our Qingqing can live a long life."
Qiao Qingqing looked down at the bowl of noodles.
A bunch of green vegetables, two poached eggs, and garnish of chopped green onions on the surface are really mouth-watering.
Qiao Qingqing felt a little blocked in her throat.
She didn't know what to say, and couldn't say anything. She just focused on eating noodles.
Even though she was full, and even though today wasn't her day...
But Qiao Qingqing still finished the bowl of noodles.
If her stomach hadn't been so full at the end, she would have finished the soup.
Putting down her chopsticks, Qiao Qingqing raised her head and looked at Mother Lu who was looking at her lovingly.
She said seriously: "Thank you, this is the most delicious food I have ever eaten."
Shi Meijun felt sour in her heart. It was just a bowl of noodles, but the child said it was the most delicious food.
She smiled gently and said, "From now on, I will make it for you every Valentine's Day."
Qiao Qingqing couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard this: "Okay."
After hesitating for a moment, she added: "...Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
The two of them had already obtained their marriage certificate, and logically she should have changed her mind, but in her heart she saw this as a trade-off: she saved the Lu family now, and the Lu family would protect her in the future.
Therefore, Qiao Qingqing kept the same address as before and still called Lu Heng's parents uncle and aunt.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu didn't say anything, thinking that the Lu family had gotten into trouble just after the new daughter-in-law came into the family, and it was because they were not doing the right thing for the girl.
Besides, the daughter-in-law didn't ask for a dowry or anything. Although she bought a lot of things, they were all for the new couple's home. After all, it was the Lu family who didn't do their job well, so it's normal that she doesn't want to change her mind.
Therefore, Qiao Qingqing's sudden call of "Mom" simply made Shi Meijun very happy.
"Hey! Hey! It's not hard. As long as Qingqing wants to eat, Mom will make it for you!"
…
The next morning, Lu Zhenfeng rushed home anxiously.
"Dad, something happened to Ah Heng!"
