Chapter 62
Attend his blind date party
When Yang Jiaojiao walked in, Lu Yuetang almost didn't recognize her.
The girl standing opposite the desk had cut her curly black hair, was wearing coarse cloth clothes, and had a worn canvas bag on her shoulders. She had restrained all her arrogance and instead looked humble and depressed.
Shen Fubai poured a cup of tea and brought it over.
She waved her hands repeatedly to indicate that she was not thirsty.
"What do you want?" Lu Yuetang went straight to the point.
Yang lowered her head tenderly.
She said timidly, "It's like this. What I did before was too much. I haven't had the chance to apologize to Hu Ouhua. I want to invite her home tomorrow and apologize to her sincerely, but I know she doesn't like me and will definitely not want to see me. Can you ask my brother to go there..."
Shen Fubai glanced at her indifferently.
She was so nervous that her face turned red. "Really? I tried to find her several times, but she avoided me. The factory is closed tomorrow. I hope she can accept my apology, so I can feel better."
The room was silent.
The air pressure is extremely low.
Yang Jiaojiao thought she was going to fail, but unexpectedly Lu Yuetang said to Shen Fubai: "You go there tomorrow."
"Me?" Shen Fubai pointed at his nose.
Why does he have the illusion that he has been wronged?
"Um."
After Lu Yuetang finished speaking, he let Yang Jiaojiao leave.
Yang Jiaojiao was delighted.
It will be interesting to see them fighting in their nests.
She just needs to watch the show quietly from the side.
The next day.
After checking Chang An Ning's effect, Hu Ouhua made a new test paper as a test for this week. After finishing the test, she went to help Grandma Chang pick vegetables and prepare lunch.
At this time, Shen Fubai came in carrying a bag of cereal and two bags of brown sugar.
"What's the matter?" asked Grandma Chang.
Ever since Gu Wanru came to cause trouble last time, the Chang family has not been very welcoming to their group, even to Shen Fubai, whose presence is not very strong.
Hu Ouhua greeted him generously: "Brother Shen."
She stood up and poured tea for Shen Fubai.
Shen Fubai smiled innocently, put the things on the table, walked to Grandma Chang, and said carefully: "Grandma Chang, it's like this, Brother Lu invited Grandpa Xie to come to visit, he was grateful for eating a bowl of potato chips made by the locals when he was sent down to Ningcheng, and he missed it very much. I wonder if Sister Ouhua can... If she can, please help her!"
Grandma Chang frowned.
"You're not talking about Xie Guzhi, are you?" she asked.
"Exactly!"
After receiving Shen Fubai's affirmative answer, Grandma Chang fell silent.
This old friend has suffered a lot in the past ten years. Both of his legs are disabled. After he finally put things right and resumed his job, he was diagnosed with a tumor. He doesn't have much time left.
They are the backbone of the organization.
"Ouhua, for my sake, can you please ignore that group of people and do me a favor, please?" Grandma Chang said sadly.
Hu Ouhua was returning with the dishes when she heard her make a request.
Ningcheng potato chips are something that outsiders can’t make.
Especially its unique sauce.
Coincidentally, she really can.
In her previous life, she was bullied by the bad mother-in-law Qingfen, and she had to go to great lengths to get the secret recipe.
"Okay, I'll go with you, but let me be frank with you first. If the Lu family forces us, don't blame me for turning hostile on the spot," said Hu Ouhua.
"How could that be? Don't worry, Brother Lu and I are here, Aunt Gu won't say anything nonsense." Shen Fubai patted his chest to assure.
Hu Ouhua agreed reluctantly.
Before going to Lu's house, she bought a bag of sweet potato flour as a condiment at the supply and marketing cooperative.
At this moment, the Lu family is very lively.
Lu Baiting rarely had to work overtime, Lu Jingjing no longer had to take extra classes, and Grandma Lu was smiling happily as she waited to see her grandson and future daughter-in-law.
Gu Wanru and Liu Mei were preparing dishes in the kitchen.
In the living room, Yang Jiaojiao and Lu Jingjing sat together and chatted.
In the yard, Lu Yuetang sat opposite his teacher Xie Guzhi. A chess piece was placed on the stone table, and a teacher and student started a fight on the chessboard.
Lu Baiting held the teacup, took a sip, stood beside his son, watched the chess game and gave advice, but Lu Yuetangsi ignored him.
Shen Fu entered through the back door and went straight to the kitchen.
"Why are you here?"
Gu Wanru lowered his voice, the anger in his eyes was about to break.
"Aunt Gu, it's because Grandpa thanks you for remembering Ningcheng potato chips. Sister Ouhua knows how to cook this dish, so Brother Lu specially asked me to invite you. Besides, today's guests are from Ningcheng, so cooking some Ningcheng dishes will also help Auntie look good, right?" Shen Fubai said.
"Okay, then I'd like to see if your Ningcheng dish cooked with lotus root flowers can get good reviews." Gu Wanru dropped the dish in his hand, turned around and walked out.
Ningcheng, Ningcheng.
My teeth hurt when I hear these two words.
At the beginning, the matchmaker didn't tell her that the other party was from Ningcheng. After she learned all the details, she came back furious.
"You're from this place again. What sin did Yue Tang commit?"
"Stop nagging. Now that we've come to Beijing, if Yuetang likes you, you're going to stay anyway."
Lu Baiting didn't mind it much.
But Gu Wanru still had a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't get over.
She suppressed her disgust and welcomed the wedding day with a lucky mentality. How could she not be angry when she saw someone she disliked in her own home?
If something goes wrong with the food, she will not spare the hu ou hua.
"Auntie Liu, please help me cut the potato slices, the thinner the better, and I will prepare the sauce." said Hu Ouhua.
"Okay."
Liu Mei liked hulouhua very much. After hearing her words, she started washing, peeling and slicing potatoes without hesitation.
Not long after they started, Xu Mindong came with a chubby cook.
"Aunt Gu, he is the master chef of the Ningcheng State-owned Hotel. His cooking skills are superb. This time, he participated in the chef competition as a Ningcheng labor model and won the first prize. My father specially asked me to invite him to cook for Grandpa Xie." She said with a smile.
Who made her father a popular figure among the commander?
There is no gossip to be found.
Xie Guzhi was brought to Lu's house by her father.
It was no secret in Beijing circles that Xie Guzhi was sent down to the countryside below Ningcheng.
This is a great opportunity to get close to the Lu family.
Even if I don’t become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, I can still become a younger generation that Gu Wanru trusts…
really.
Upon hearing this, Gu Wanru quickly called the master chef Liu Chuan and asked him to go to the kitchen.
When they arrived at the kitchen, Xu Mindong saw Hu Ouhua busy at work. His expression changed immediately and he covered his mouth and exclaimed, "Aunt Gu, why is she here?"
Gu Wanru snorted coldly and said to Liu Chuan, "This kitchen is under your control, and the others are just assistants. If you don't like it, just ask them both to leave."
"good."
Liu Chuan did not hesitate and started working as soon as he entered.
He started cooking with the noise of pots and pans, leaving no room for Hu Ouhua to do anything. After giving her a coal stove in the corner, he began to instruct Liu Mei to help.
Huouhua felt very embarrassed standing there.
Xu Mindong originally wanted to stay at Lu's house for dinner, but seeing that Gu Wanru did not try to keep him, he felt a little embarrassed. Seeing Hu Ouhua being squeezed out of the stove, he gritted his teeth and pretended to be a "supervisor", looking back and forth several times.
Seeing that Hu Ouhua stayed by the coal stove the whole time and had no chance to touch the kitchen utensils, she couldn't help but be delighted.
hehe.
Isn’t lily of the valley your favorite expression?
This time it's really embarrassing.
