Chapter 106 Egg Fried Rice

After seeing Xu Xiaodi off, Lin Yue went to the kitchen to continue cooking. It was already very late, and there was no time to cook. The rice was already cooked, so she simply took out two eggs, a piece of bacon, and a carrot and made egg fried rice. She wanted to add some diced cucumber, but as soon as she took it out of the space, Wang Tingting came, so she had to put the cucumber back in the space in a hurry.

Wang Tingting was looking around outside the kitchen, and took a long time to come in. She put her hands behind her back and said awkwardly, "I didn't expect that you, a country woman, can really cook."

Lin Yue frowned. This remark sounded very impolite. She turned around and saw Wang Tingting standing there with an embarrassed and regretful look on her face, her fingers almost twisted into knots.

Lin Yue felt helpless. Every time she saw Wang Tingting, she felt that she was deliberately causing trouble. However, after getting to know her, she found that it was not the case. It seemed that this person was born unable to get along with others.

She smiled helplessly and said, "You scared me. It turned out to be you!"

"If not me, then who else could it be? Could it be Zhang Anbang's second marriage partner?"

"Second marriage partner? Are you talking about Comrade Xiao?" Lin Yue was a little surprised and asked, "But their children are already so big..."

Wang Tingting snorted and laughed. "That's nothing strange. Zhang Anbang is almost 40 years old. He was married before, but it is said that he never had any children. He divorced when he was around 30 and married this woman now. It is said that this woman is not a good person either. She used to sell fish in the vegetable market outside. They hooked up before Zhang Anbang got divorced. The news spread all over the military region in the first two years after they got married, but there is no evidence."

Lin Yue was very surprised, not because he was shocked by the romantic affair between the two, but because he did not expect Wang Tingting to know so much gossip. This did not fit in with her arrogant and cold appearance.

She asked in confusion, "You hadn't come to this military region at that time, how do you know so much?"

Wang Tingting said with some disdain: "Of course I have my own channels. Some of the people in the family compound have been here for a long time. This gossip is not unknown to everyone in the military region. Xiao Xiaoni is just bullying you because you just got here and don't know anything. Otherwise, how could she have the nerve to show off to you!"

"But that teacher Liu..."

"You mean Liu Su'e? She and Xiao Xiaoni are neighbors. Xiao Xiaoni has introduced her to four or five military officers in the past six months, but she has never been the one to choose."

It turns out that the two of them have this kind of relationship. No wonder Teacher Liu favors Zhang Jian so much.

Wang Tingting was not a gossipy person. She came to talk to Lin Yue about so much because she had a good impression of the twin brother and sister. She was angry when she found out that they were bullied. After she explained the situation of those people to Lin Yue, she went to look at the rice in her pot and asked, "What kind of rice are you cooking? It smells so good!"

Lin Yue moved aside to show her the egg fried rice being turned over in the pot, and said with a smile: "Why, have you never had egg fried rice before?"

"Is this fried rice with egg? Why is the rice golden yellow? Where is the egg? Why can't I see any egg? What is this red thing inside?"

Egg fried rice is easy to cook, so Lin Yue stir-fried it twice more and scooped a little for her with a spoon, "Try it, you will definitely be able to taste it."

Wang Tingting really ate the egg fried rice from Lin Yue's hand. Her eyes narrowed immediately and she said in surprise, "It must be carrots. I didn't know that egg fried rice can be made like this. It's delicious even without eggs!"

"It's not that there are no eggs. I just beat the egg yolks into the rice and mixed them well." As for the egg whites, she pointed to another small stove next to her, which had a steamer on it. Lin Yue opened the lid of the pot and took out three bowls of double-skin milk from it. She smiled and said, "Do you want to try it?"

Wang Tingting swallowed her saliva and refused, "No, no, this is for the children, I won't eat it."

Lin Yue asked: "Have you had lunch?"

Wang Tingting shook her head. She was a nurse at the military hospital. She had to go to the countryside with the hospital to do publicity in the afternoon and might not be back at night. She came home at noon to pack up her things.

After hearing this, Lin Yue served a bowl of egg fried rice and a bowl of double skin milk, stuffed them into her hands without further ado, and said with a smile, "Don't be polite. We are neighbors now, and we will have many opportunities to get along with each other in the future. It's just lunch, and at most you can invite me back later!"

Although Wang Tingting's personality is a little simple, she is not a fool. She has been married for a year and is not a delicate young lady who doesn't know the daily necessities of life. The fried rice made by Lin Yue must have consumed a lot of oil, not to mention the other ingredients, not to mention the beautiful color.

But she was not the kind of person who would be hypocritical. Since Lin Yue had said so, it would be bad for her to keep refusing. She simply accepted it and said a little embarrassedly, "Then I won't be polite with you! Sister-in-law, if there is anything your family needs my help with, just tell me!"

When she called her "sister-in-law", she was a little hesitant to say it. You know, she had known Zhang Yuandong since she was a child, but she had never called him "brother".

The two were still being polite when Zhang Linghan rushed in and shouted, "Mom, go home quickly, Sisi will turn over!"

Lin Yue was startled and ran home quickly.

Zhang Yuandong was holding Little Mushroom and standing beside the bed in the master bedroom with Wanli. Little Sisi was lying on the bed with her belly on the quilt. Her arms and legs were all raised, her head raised high, with a big, toothless smile on her face, like a little turtle.

Lin Yue walked to the bed. When the little guy saw Lin Yue, he stretched out his hands and cried “Oh oh ah ah” for a hug.

Lingling ran over quickly, turned Sisi over again, and said excitedly: "Mom, wait, I'll let her turn her over again for you to see!" Then she urged the little guy, "Sisi, turn over for Mom to see!"

Sisi thought her sister was playing a prank on her, so she kicked her feet like she was riding a hot wheel. Lingling was anxious and was about to turn the kid over, but Lin Yue stopped her and said, "Okay, okay, my sister just turned over, she must be tired now, let her rest and turn her over again later!"

When they picked up Sisi, the child was skinny and small with a pale yellow face. It was impossible to tell how old she was. Lin Yue thought she was only born not long ago, but now it seems that the child is at least three months old.

A female voice suddenly came from behind: "Did you really pick up this child? Did you take him to the hospital for a checkup?"

The family of six looked back at the same time and saw Wang Tingting standing behind them holding two bowls, looking inside curiously.

She had held the little fellow last night but she didn't know she had picked him up. It seems she heard a lot of gossip in the hospital this morning.

Lin Yue turned around and asked, "I haven't been there. We picked it up on the way here and haven't had time. Why, do we need to go get it checked?"

Wang Tingting said: "There is no hard and fast rule. I just think that since the child was thrown away, it might be because of some physical defect. It is better to go to the hospital for a check-up."

Lin Yue nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Although I have given birth to three children, they are all in good health. Except for the third child who was born in the hospital, I have never been to the hospital again. I don't know what kind of examinations are needed for the children now."

Wang Tingting said cheerfully: "Don't worry, I'll take you there when I get back from my business trip!"

Lin Yue happily agreed and walked out of the house with her. One of them went back to her own home and the other went to the kitchen. Although they took different routes, Lin Yue had a feeling that the distance between them was closer.

Although some of the lunch was shared with Wang Tingting, Lin Yue made more, so it was enough for the whole family. However, she only made three bowls of double-skin milk in total. She had originally planned to give one bowl to each of the three children, but now there were only two bowls left, so she could only let Lingling and Wanli drink one bowl together.

Little Mushroom was still young and couldn't eat too much hard food. Lin Yue was too busy this afternoon and didn't have time to make vegetable and lean meat porridge for him. He looked at the lonely bowl of double-skin milk in front of him, while his parents and his brothers and sisters were eating the yellow rice in big mouthfuls. He immediately became anxious and stretched out his little hands to dig forward, shouting: "Mom, rice, rice..."

Lin Yue smiled and put some egg fried rice in his mouth. The little guy finished it quickly, smacking his lips. Seeing that his mother had no intention of feeding him anymore, he climbed up from the chair and climbed up the table.

Lin Yue was so scared that he quickly picked up the child and patted his little butt gently, saying helplessly: "You are such a little naughty monkey. You dare to climb up such a high table. What if you fall down?"

Little Mushroom didn't care about that and continued to kick and scream anxiously, "Mom, Mimi, Mimi!"

Lin Yue had no choice but to pick up some egg fried rice with chopsticks and feed him. When he saw that he had eaten it, he quickly scooped a spoonful of double skin milk and fed it into his mouth. Just like that, with a few grains of egg fried rice and a spoonful of double skin milk, the little guy was full soon and no longer clamored for egg fried rice.

Zhang Yuandong wanted to take over so that Lin Yue could eat well, but Little Mushroom had only been with him for a few days and was still unfamiliar with his father. When Lin Yue was around, he refused to let his father hold him. So Wanli finished the rice in the bowl and took over the job of feeding Little Mushroom.

In another five-story building, Zhang Anbang and his family were also having lunch. Zhang Anbang sat at the table with his arms and legs clenched, picking at the food on his plate with picky eyes, and took two bites without much appetite. He put down his chopsticks and asked, "You dealt with that Lin Yue today. What do you think of him?"

At this moment, his eyes were sharp and his voice was deep. He no longer had the recklessness he had in kindergarten. One could tell from his voice that he was not someone who could be easily messed with.

Xiao Xiaoni didn't dare to lose her temper in front of him. She lowered her head and said honestly, "It's different from what others say. He loves children very much and speaks in a very organized way. But there is one thing. This person must be very stingy. He used tricks on a child and induced our Zhang Jian to speak. It's quite shameless."

Zhang Anbang sneered, "You know nothing. Their children were bullied on their first day of school. If she hadn't calmed you down, wouldn't anyone be able to bully their two children in kindergarten in the future?" He paused and said, "This is just a small matter between children. You have to find opportunities to interact with her more in the future. Don't really offend her!"

Xiao Xiaoni nodded and added, "But her daughter is quite strange. She is so strong despite her young age!"

Zhang Anbang said nonchalantly, "You're just a tiny kid, how strong can you be?"

Xiao Xiaoni recounted the incident of Zhang Linghan lifting the table with ease, and said, "That Lin Yue said that she beat our Zhang Jian with a stick for his own good, otherwise if she really got physical, she might get hurt. She is really crazy. I think a child like this should not be allowed to go to school, so that other children don't have to worry!"

Zhang Anbang was silent for a while. I don't know what he thought of. Suddenly he stood up and shouted angrily: "No wonder you can beat me, this is not fair!"

Xiao Xiaoni and Zhang Jianquan were both startled and their chopsticks fell to the ground.
