Chapter 56 You're a Scoundrel (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The remaining people then left happily.
After taking a few steps, someone suddenly remembered something and ran happily towards the river. He had only thought about following along and hadn't even taken his clothes back.
At Xu Qingmo's house, Wang Jing served Hong Lanlan a portion of fish, including fish belly meat and some soup, and also packed some crayfish for her.
Hong Lanlan smiled broadly, but waved her hand, saying she couldn't take that many.
She was worried that if she took too much, Xu Qingmo wouldn't ask her to come and help cook next time.
After all, you can bring back some food just by cooking a meal here.
Hong Lanlan's two children are clamoring for meat, and she doesn't know how to tell her husband. If she could continue cooking here, eating meat would definitely not be a problem.
"Take it, there's too much for us to finish." Wang Jing pushed the takeout box towards Hong Lanlan again.
Hong Lanlan looked at Xu Qingmo, and Xu Qingmo nodded, "My mom's opinion is my opinion, so take it."
Hong Lanlan then reached out and took it, thanking Wang Jing profusely, making Wang Jing feel embarrassed by her gratitude.
But Hong Lanlan didn't leave. She stood aside, waiting for Xu Qingmo to taste the flavor.
Xu Qingmo took a bowl of fish soup, took a sip, and found the soup to be delicious and flavorful.
The braised dishes were also extremely flavorful, even better than those made by Grandma Liu from Xujia Village.
Xu Qingmo nodded in approval, "Well done. You can come over and help with cooking if you have time in the future."
"I'm free, I'm free every day." Hong Lanlan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, gradually settled down, and she readily agreed.
Xu Qingmo said, "It's getting late, you should go back and wait for the child to get out of school."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back now and come back tonight." Hong Lanlan happily went home and told everyone she met that her family had meat and fish soup for lunch, and even crayfish.
Wang Jing entered Xu Qingmo's house and sighed silently.
"What are you going to do about the bed?" Wang Jing asked softly, not wanting anyone to overhear.
After all, this was just too embarrassing.
Several bed boards were broken, and when a person lay on the bed, they could not straighten their legs.
Shen Jiang saw only her shy yet annoyed expression. He walked over to her and put his arm around her. "Don't worry, I'll go to the woods over there and cut some wood. Once it's dried, you can put it on."
It's not that Shenjiang is stingy and unwilling to buy a new bed, it's just that the wooden board is broken and it would be a pity to replace it.
They still have two children to raise, so they try to save money wherever they can.
"How long will it take for the new wood to dry? I'm going to sleep with Momo these next few days."
Shen Jiang held her tightly, saying, "If you go to find Momo, I'll go too. I'll sleep next to you."
"You're a scoundrel."
"Can you sleep on the floor with me for the next few days?" Shen Jiang softened his voice, his tone full of expectation.
Wang Jing blushed. "How can you be so shameless? How come I never noticed before?"
Shen Jiang held her tightly and said earnestly, "You weren't my wife before, but you are now. It wasn't easy for me to marry you, how could I bear to let you leave my side?"
Wang Jing pulled off the scarf around her neck, pointed to the marks, and scolded him, "Look what you've done to me. I'm the only one wearing a scarf in this hot weather. So many people came and were staring at my neck. You have no idea how embarrassed I was. It's all your fault."
"Mmm, mmm, it's my fault, it really is my fault. I couldn't help myself. I promise I won't kiss your neck or any other place next time. I'll just put on my clothes and cover it up so no one can see."
Shen Jiang, with his handsome face, spoke earnestly.
Wang Jing felt utterly ashamed and pushed the person away, saying, "I'm ignoring you."
She wrapped the scarf around her neck again, making sure it covered her completely before leaving the bedroom.
Lu Ting had already come home from school. He smelled the aroma of food and looked at the table.
He couldn't help but walk over and take a deep sniff, and Xu Qingmo patted him on the shoulder.
"My parents haven't arrived yet; we're waiting for them to eat together."
"What are Mom and Dad doing together in the room during the day? Don't they feel hot?" Lu Ting's face was full of curiosity.
Xu Qingmo shook her head speechlessly, "She really is just a child."
She was calm and collected, like an elderly person.
Lu Ting asked, puzzled, "Aren't you a child too?"
Xu Qingmo suddenly realized, "Oh, so I'm a child too."
As soon as Wang Jing came out, she heard their conversation and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lu Ting only saw Wang Jing come out and did not see Shen Jiang. He asked in confusion, "Aunt Wang, why didn't Uncle Shen come out? Should I go and call him?"
Wang Jing remembered that Shen Jiang was still in the room making the bed, so she called out to Lu Ting, "No need to call him, he'll come out in a bit."
Although Lu Ting was curious, he did not go over.
He looked up at Wang Jing's neck, even more puzzled. "Aunt Wang, why are you still wearing a scarf in this hot weather? Take it off, it's quite hot."
Xu Qingmo kicked Lu Ting under the table, "Don't you know this is the most fashionable way to dress right now? Kids shouldn't meddle in adults' business."
"Trendy? But I still feel very hot. Don't adults feel hot like this?"
"Adults are tall, and the wind is strong up there, so they don't feel hot," Xu Qingmo said, trying to convince them.
Lu Ting glanced at Wang Jing again, clenched his fist, and said, "I want to eat lots of food and grow taller so I can feel the wind up there. It's really hot now, and if I'm too short, I really can't stand it."
Xu Qingmo was speechless; she hadn't expected to be fooled.
Wang Jing smiled at Xu Qingmo, always feeling that Xu Qingmo knew a lot.
Shen Jiang made up the bed and came out. A table full of people were waiting for him, and he felt a warmth in his heart.
Before he got married, Lu Ting would eat alone at school.
Alone and very lonely.
And now, he has rediscovered the warmth his family brings him.
"Dinner's ready." Shen Jiang sat down next to Wang Jing, picked up his chopsticks and first served food to Wang Jing, then served food to Xu Qingmo and Lu Ting one by one.
Lu Ting tasted the fish; it was very fresh and delicious.
He ate carefully, picking out each bone, and finally gave all the deboned fish meat to Xu Qingmo.
Xu Qingmo looked up at him and said, "Why aren't you eating? I don't want yours, I'll eat it myself."
"You brought all the fish and shrimp, and every bite of meat is thanks to you. Picking out the fish bones for you is the only thing I can do right now," Lu Ting said earnestly.
The more he talked, the more useless he felt. Not only did he need Xu Qingmo's protection, but he also had no ability to catch these fish and shrimp.
Xu Qingmo disagreed, "We're all family, don't be so formal. Mom and Dad will laugh at us."
Lu Ting looked at Shen Jiang and Wang Jing, and Shen Jiang patted him on the shoulder.
“MoMo is right, we’re family, we don’t need to speak like that,” Shen Jiang said.
Wang Jing also agreed wholeheartedly, which warmed Lu Ting's heart. This kind of family atmosphere was truly wonderful, and he wanted to stay here forever.
At that moment, a cry rang out from the courtyard.
"Who took the clothes I washed by the river? Give them back right now, or you're messing with me."
