Chapter 62 As long as no one is injured, that's good.
Chu Lulu clicked her tongue, as if she had guessed it, "He's probably afraid I'll burn the kitchen down."
"The kitchen burned down? Didn't you watch the fire?"
Grandma Zhao's attention was drawn to this. Since the fish was already stewing, she didn't plan to do anything else; she just needed to keep an eye on the fire.
The aroma of the big fish stewed in an iron pot was so enticing that Sister Lu kept sniffing.
"no."
"I broke three cutting boards while chopping vegetables, and even though I had my dad watching me cook porridge, the porridge still came out dark and undrinkable."
"As for burning down the kitchen, that's a long story, so I won't go into it briefly."
Anyway, she's already given up. For the sake of the kitchen, she's only good at things like cutting open fish; she can dissect them.
If you want fish fillets, you can definitely slice them until they're translucent.
"So that's how it is."
Grandma Zhao was amazed and couldn't help but laugh.
The old man and the young man grew closer and closer because of a shameful incident.
When Grandma Zhao learned that Chu Lulu's father was also a soldier, she became even closer to her.
When Xiao Jinli returned after chopping wood, he saw the way the old man and the young man interacted and thought they looked like a grandfather and grandson.
"Come on, Lulu, let's eat fish."
"LuLu, try this dish. I marinated this fish with a special recipe, so it tastes different from stewed fish."
Chu Lulu took a bite, and her eyes lit up.
She knew about the Chinese medicine from the beginning, and after tasting it, the flavor was so unique that she wanted to swallow her tongue.
"fragrant!"
"Grandma, how can I eat other fish after I've eaten the fish you cooked?"
"Grandma, do you need a granddaughter? How about I rent a house for you near the military region, and I'll move in too, and we can live together."
"grandmother……"
Even eating fish couldn't shut her up.
Eating and speaking seem to be completely separate, as if they have two mouths.
Grandma Zhao kept smiling and served her food, saying, "Eat slowly, don't prick your throat."
"No, no, I'm really good at eating fish."
She has never had a fishbone stuck in her throat since she was a child.
"You..."
Grandma Zhao smiled as she watched Xiao Jinli carefully remove the fish bones. Then, without saying a word, she placed the deboned fish meat in front of Chu Lulu.
Chu Lulu didn't find it strange at all. The two of them didn't even exchange glances. She just took the food and started eating.
There was an unspoken understanding between the two of them.
Grandma Zhao saw through it but didn't say anything, just watched with a smile.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Jinli took several bags out of the car and put them in the house. "Grandma Zhao, these are just some vegetables and daily necessities."
It mainly consists of rice, flour, cooking oil, and seasonings.
"You don't need to keep sending me these; I can't use all of what you send."
Grandma Zhao looked helpless. These boys were all good; whenever they had time, they would secretly come over to deliver things or help with chores.
Especially when it snows heavily, Xiao Xiao would come over in the middle of the night to help her sweep the snow off the roof and in the yard.
She's practically buried up to her nose, yet these kids are taking such good care of her.
"Please keep using it, just in case we run out later."
"Grandma Zhao, we're going back now. We have something important to report."
Grandma Zhao waved her hand, "Let's go, please be careful."
"LuLu, when you come to visit Grandma next time, don't be like these boys. You don't need to bring anything with you, just come by yourself."
Grandma Zhao held Chu Lulu's hand, her face full of affection.
Those boys are all serious and have stern faces. How can they be as cute as a little girl?
"Okay."
"Grandma Zhao, you have to promise me that you will take the pills I left behind."
"I'll check next time I come!"
Her little face was serious, and her voice was also serious.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat it, I'll really enjoy it."
Grandma Zhao watched them drive away; these were her children too.
After they returned to the camp, Chu Lulu slapped her forehead and said, "I bought food, and you gave me wild boar, so I was going to treat you to a meal."
"result……"
She got another free meal!
"I'll come back to have dinner with you after I finish my report."
Xiao Jinli looked at her, concealing his desire to seize her, his possessiveness, and all his emotions.
I knew what was in my heart in just three days, and during the process of getting to know each other, my emotions surged and became irreversible.
But she was so innocent and pure, and he was afraid that his feelings would scare her away.
Rather than telling her, he would rather she stay by his side and wait for her to grow up.
The kind of growth that comes with psychological maturity.
"Xiao Jinli, are you still eating?"
Are you a pig?
I just ate about half an hour ago, do you want to eat again?
She's not that good.
Xiao Jinli raised his hand, but remembering what she had said before that she didn't want him to touch her head, he lowered his hand again.
He wasn't hungry, but he wanted to eat with her.
Being able to eat is a blessing.
"I'm going to report the situation. Wait for me to come back."
Xiao Jinli is gone...
Chu Lulu watched his retreating figure, then turned and left as well.
The direction wasn't the courtyard, but rather it led straight out of the military region and into the city.
The place where Wang Chengjun hid the money was a rented room, different from the previous one.
This rental apartment is very secluded and is a separate space.
All of Wang Chengjun's belongings are in this room.
She climbed over the wall without disturbing the scene.
Following Wang Chengjun's directions, they found the money he had hidden away, counted out 270 yuan, thought for a moment, then took out another 10 cents from their pocket and put it into the pile of money.
After all, she had said that every punch she landed on Wang Chengjun was worth one cent. She had landed eight punches in total, so rounding it up, it came to one cent, which was a bargain for him.
After Xiao Jinli finished his report, he came to the courtyard with great interest, only to find the lock tightly locked, just like his furrowed brows.
"LuLu hasn't come back?"
Where did she go?
Is it related to Wang Chengjun?
Is it safe?
A multitude of questions flashed through his mind in an instant.
Finally, after returning to the independent battalion and assigning tasks for the next phase, they went back to the courtyard.
In the past hour or so, the lock had been opened and the gate was ajar, indicating that the owner had returned.
"Wild boar."
Did you miss me?
Are you hungry?
The food she fed the wild boar consisted of fresh herbs, and every time the wild boar smelled them, it seemed as if the ruby's eyes were sparkling.
Eat slowly.
It was still the same wooden box, but now newspapers were placed underneath. Chu Lulu reached out and touched the wild boar's fur; it was soft and fluffy.
Her wild boars are very hygienic. They deal with everything in one corner, keeping the rest of the house clean, and their fur is also very clean.
"You've arrived?"
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Chu Lulu recognized who it was. She turned around and waved as a greeting.
Xiao Jinli first looked her over, and after confirming that she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go inside first, I'll light the stove."
"There will be smoke outside, it'll be too choking."
She must have just returned; she hadn't even taken off her cotton-padded coat yet, and the stove wasn't lit.
As long as no one is injured, that's fine.
He shouldn't ask where they're going, nor should he.
