"Sister Lu, did you get the chili pepper?" Seeing Lu Wensheng's unfriendly expression, Lu Hao quickly changed the subject.
Tsk, you little brat! You still want to fool her!
Lu Wensheng rolled his eyes at him and replied, "Yeah, I got it."
Ma Yingjie said excitedly: "That's great, I'm going to have a good meal at noon today."
There were no dried chili peppers at their youth camp. Last time he went to a sales outlet to buy some grown by someone else. There weren’t many to begin with, but they were all used up in just a few days. He thought he would have no spicy crayfish to eat this time!
"Sister Lu, let's plant some peppers in the yard after we build our house!"
Lu Wensheng thought about it and nodded: "Well, we'll see when the time comes. I don't know if it's too late to plant now."
So everyone had a delicious meal of spicy crayfish at noon. Because Shen Lingling couldn't eat spicy food, she was given a special portion of garlic crayfish. Anyway, Ma Hao thought it was just as delicious.
The leftover soup was just right for mixing with hand-rolled noodles. Lu Wenshengxiang almost swallowed his tongue and praised incoherently:
"Lingling, your cooking skills are amazing. The dough you roll is even more chewy than the ones made by chefs at state-owned restaurants!"
Ma Yingjie suddenly raised his head and asked with a look of catching someone cheating: "Sister Lu, when have you ever eaten hand-rolled noodles from a state-owned restaurant?"
Lu Wensheng felt a little guilty: "It was... in the morning! I couldn't bring out the noodles, so I brought you some buns..."
"Hmph~"
Ma Yingjie took a bite of noodles viciously and added: "We'll go next time too!"
Lu Wensheng quickly agreed, "Go, go, let's all go!"
Han Muchen and Shen Lingling were speechless watching the two bickering like children. They were so grown-ups and still behaved like this. Especially Shengsheng. Although she looked like a little adult, she was actually the youngest among the educated youth.
Oh, it seems that she is the same age as Ma Yingjie, but that doesn’t matter!
"By the way, Shengsheng, the postman sent you a package this morning when he came to deliver the mail. Since you were not here, I received it for you."
Lu Wensheng nodded, thinking it must have been mailed to her by Chen Cheng, and replied, "Well, I'll go check it out later."
Shen Lingling stretched out three fingers exaggeratedly and said: "Three letters, each thicker than the last..."
She didn't receive it, but she also wrote to her parents, and in the blink of an eye, a lifetime had passed between them. If she had a chance to do it again, she would never make the same mistake, and his parents would definitely not die so early.
Lu Wensheng thought for a moment and said, "It might have been written by my two younger brothers. I guess they are in the army now."
Han Muchen continued, "Do you want me to write a letter and ask the old man to take care of it?"
Lu Wensheng shook his head: "There is no need for that."
Han Muchen nodded and said no more.
————
After dinner, Lu Wensheng was chased out of the small kitchen by Shen Lingling as usual. The original words were: "It's just a small job for you to do, go and rest!"
Lu Wensheng was happy and at ease. He went to Shen Lingling's room to get the letter, put on his big package and went home.
After returning home, she did not rush to read the letter. Instead, she packed up the things she bought in the morning, then went out to lock the door, and then went into the house to open the package with peace of mind.
The top one was from Chen Cheng, and the remaining two were from Songcheng Public Security Bureau and Lu Jiandang. Judging from the dates, the two letters were sent on the same day.
Lu Wensheng opened Chen Cheng's letter first. When he saw the letter, he couldn't help but sigh:
"My uncle's handwriting is just like him, firm and powerful. You can tell at first glance that he is an upright person."
The letter basically said something like: Be careful when you go out alone, be sure to protect yourself, and if you have any problems, just write to him.
There was even a remittance slip inside, telling her not to be reluctant to eat and to buy whatever she wanted. If she didn't have enough money, she should tell him and he would remit it.
His words were full of care and love, which made Lu Wensheng's eyes red:
“This person really is!”
How could she explain it? When she first came to this world, she felt full of malice or indifference from the people around her.
Chen Cheng seemed to be the only one who truly cared for her and helped her. Thinking of his miserable old age in the original novel...
Lu Wensheng decided to treat him like his father, accompany him, take care of him, and if necessary, take care of him until the end of his life.
(Report! My dears, I need to take a day off today. It's my dad's birthday, hahahaha
I guess I need to drink something soon, so I'll just update these. I'll update three chapters tomorrow~)
