The fragrance wafted through the kitchen and spread outside long ago.
“It smells so good!”
"Whose food smells so good! What is this? It's so delicious."
"It seems to be Captain Lu's house..."
"Since the wife of Captain Lu came here, the delicious smell wafts from their house every day. It's so delicious."
"Wife, look at how delicious other wives' cooking is. I can smell the fragrance from across the street. Look at you, your cooking is not even as delicious as mine!"
"If you have the ability, go find someone else's wife. Why are you looking for me? You should put a lid on the pot that matches your needs! You envy Lu Jingchuan for having a good wife, but I envy Shen Li for having a good partner! Look at how big and strong Lu Jingchuan is, and then look at your figure! Still, I heard that Lu Jingchuan helps his wife and washes the dishes for her after work every day! Look at yourself, why have you done any housework for me? I am the one who has to take care of everything in this house!"
At this time, Shen Li didn't know that just because she cooked a dinner, many children in the nearby families were drooling over the delicious taste and the young couples in their families started quarreling.
Here, the two children came home from school. Duoduo's little nose moved, and her big, dark and soft eyes became sparkling. "Smells good!"
She was wearing a little skirt and carrying a small schoolbag, and she ran in noisily.
Lu Minghui looked at Duoduo running towards the house like a little rabbit, feeling a little dazed.
Before the beautiful woman came to the island, Duoduo was a very introverted child who never spoke and didn't like to interact with others. She never spoke a word so much that everyone thought she was a little fool and dumb.
But since Shen Li came, everything has changed.
Duoduo was no longer silent, and with Shen Li's encouragement, she started talking. Every day they could eat delicious meals that they had never eaten before. He and Duoduo's bodies were no longer so dry, but had some flesh on them. Moreover, they had grown taller.
During this time, Lu Minghui observed Shen Li for a long time and found that she didn't seem to be pretending to be nice to them to win her father's trust, but was kind to them from the bottom of her heart and made contributions to this family...
Lu Minghui realized how despicable and disgusting his previous assumptions about Shen Li were...
He was miserable.
"Brother!" Duoduo ran a few steps and looked back at her brother, wondering why her brother walked slower than her!
"Coming." Lu Minghui came back to his senses and walked towards this side quickly.
The two of them walked towards the kitchen. The closer they got, the more the two children could smell the tempting aroma.
The fresh smell of seafood, the fragrance of hairtail, and the fragrance of braised eggs...
"I'm back." Shen Li smiled.
"Well! My brother and I walked back!" Duoduo said, "We can go home by ourselves!"
Shen Li saw the changes in Duoduo. During this period of time, Duoduo became more and more lively and cheerful.
But this was only limited to acquaintances at home. When she met outsiders, she was still as cautious and introverted as before, and rejected contact with others.
Overall, progress is good.
"Mom has made something delicious, come and try it." Shen Li brought the clam meat to the dining table.
There was too much clam meat to fit on an ordinary plate, so Shen Li used a large stainless steel basin to hold the clams. The basin was filled to the brim with clams, like a small mountain.
Each clam opened its shell to reveal the soft white meat inside. The soup was thick white and very rich, with a little coriander leaves and chopped green onions sprinkled on the surface, which smelled very tempting.
Her big, black grape-like eyes widened, and she climbed onto the small stool impatiently, swallowed her saliva and waited.
Lu Minghui sat next to Duoduo. He tied a small pink bag with a yellow duck pattern on it. There was a big hole inside. The food in his mouth would fall into the bag and be caught, so as not to dirty Duoduo's beloved skirt.
Shen Li placed the clams on the table, and brought over a plate of fried crispy golden hairtail, the cold kelp salad she had made earlier, and steamed white flour buns.
The cold-mixed kelp shreds are placed in a transparent glass bowl. The chili peppers and wild peppercorns are clearly visible, and the finely cut kelp shreds are distinct. It looks cool, refreshing and very tempting. The crispy and golden hairtail fish makes people's appetite even more.
The two children were eating clams with chopsticks.
"How does it taste? Is it delicious?" Shen Li chuckled.
Duoduo nodded heavily, "Good time."
She bit a clam and slurped up the rich milky white soup inside. After all the soup was sucked up, she began to eat the soft meat inside. The meat was very tender and chewy, and it was clean inside without any sand. It tasted very fresh and tender, and it was delicious.
Clams are very common on the island, but not many people like to eat them.
Because there is too much sand in the clams.
My father had fried clams for them before, but after frying, the soup inside was full of black sand, not the milky white color like it is now.
Lu Minghui was also eating the meat from the clams. He finished one clam slowly and leisurely.
Shen Li picked up the chopsticks and gave each of the two children a piece of hairtail. "Try this, it's freshly fried and it's crispier."
"Yeah." Lu Minghui nodded lightly, "You've worked hard..." Mom.
But when those two words fell on his lips, he wanted to say "come", but he felt that saying "come" was a bit pretentious and awkward.
He knew he was not a popular child.
Shen Li would not like him even more.
If he called Shen Li "Mom", would she hate him?
Lu Minghui didn't dare to look at Shen Li's reaction. He held the chopsticks tightly, lowered his head, and focused on eating.
Shen Li was a little surprised. Xiao Minghui said to her... "Thank you for your hard work?"
She smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more."
Not long after, Lu Jingchuan finished his training and returned.
"Jingchuan." Shen Li smiled softly and walked over to him.
"Why does today's food smell so good?" The man looked at the table full of food and placed his slender, rough hands on the waistline of the little woman.
It was originally just a habitual action, but when it fell on her waist, his fingers accidentally touched the fullness below the woman's waistline, and the man's deep dark eyes suddenly became darker.
He couldn't help but think of the little woman's peach-shaped buttocks...
"Are you hungry? Come, sit down and have dinner." Shen Li didn't notice Lu Jingchuan's abnormality and pulled Lu Jingchuan towards the dining table.
The man's big bronze hand gently patted the girl's plump and round peach buttocks, and pinched it with his thick and slender fingers.
Shen Li's face turned red instantly.
He...what is he doing?
There are two children here!
Not at all ashamed in front of the children.
