Chapter 210 Washing Her Feet
"Mom, let's go first, I'll pick you up later."
"No, no, it's only a few steps away. I know the way. I'll go back by myself later."
Mother Lu sent the two of them out the door and gave Lu Jianchuan a warning look. The meaning was very clear: don't mess around, kid.
Lu Jianchuan nodded helplessly.
He wanted to say that he was not such a beast.
But Lu's mother obviously didn't think so. She was an experienced person and knew that sometimes you can just listen to what men say.
"Go ahead, and go slowly on your way."
It was already getting dark, and there were not many people in the housing estate in the middle of winter, so the two of them walked home hand in hand.
When he got home, Lin Siqiao collapsed on the sofa out of exhaustion.
I don’t want to move. I don’t want to move at all.
It’s because she doesn’t have WeChat at this time, otherwise she would have taken at least tens of thousands of steps today!
After a while, Lu Jianchuan came out of the kitchen with a basin of hot water.
"You've been walking all day, soak your feet first."
"Otherwise, your feet will be so sore that you won't be able to walk tomorrow."
Lin Siqiao half closed his eyes, still not wanting to move.
"Can we not soak?"
She wanted to go back to her room and sleep now.
Lu Jianchuan didn't say anything, just half squatted down and took off her shoes and socks.
"Soak for a while, and you'll sleep better later."
"obedient."
Lin Siqiao raised his eyelids. He had no choice but to obey because he had put his feet into the basin.
Judging from his appearance, he probably wants to wash his feet.
Lin Siqiao probably doesn't know what being shy and embarrassed is.
Who in later generations hasn’t made an appointment with her girlfriends to go out for a massage or a foot wash? These are just child’s play for her.
It’s just that your partner washes your feet. What’s the big deal?
Lin Siqiao looked calm, but Lu Jianchuan's ears were red as if they were about to bleed.
How come her feet are so white, soft and small?
Lin Siqiao just didn't know what he was thinking at this moment. If she knew, she would definitely tell him.
White, she admitted.
After all, she only gets to sunbathe a few times a year, and her skin is cold white, so her whole body is white!
She wasn't sure if it was soft or not.
But, Lu Jianchuan, do you call size 37 feet small?
Oh, then compared with Lu Jianchuan's size 46, hers is quite small.
Lu Jianchuan wrapped the washed pair of small jade feet in a towel, wiped off the moisture, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Do you want me to give you a massage?"
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Siqiao opened her eyes instantly. She didn't want anything to go wrong so late at night.
"No need to press it, I'm so sleepy..."
"Well, then go wash up first, and go to bed early after that."
Lu Jianchuan did not force her on this matter. He nodded, poured out the foot washing water, and went to the kitchen to clean up the stove.
When he came out after finishing his work, Lin Siqiao had already lain back in bed.
In just a few minutes, she fell asleep.
Lu Jianchuan tucked the quilt for her and gently kissed her fair cheek.
"good evening"
…
When Lin Siqiao woke up, it was already noon. This was the first time she had slept so deeply.
"You've been here for a long time, why didn't you call me?"
Lin Siqiao glanced unhappily at Lu Jianchuan who was sitting in the living room.
"Mom said that you were tired yesterday, so she asked you to sleep a little longer."
This was what Lu's mother meant, and it was also what he meant.
While brushing her teeth, Lin Siqiao glanced at her home, "Where are Aunt Lu and Yunshu?"
"they……"
"Chuan'er, help me pick it up."
Speak of the devil, and here he appears. Lu Jianchuan was interrupted by his mother's voice as soon as he opened his mouth.
When Lu Jianchuan opened the gate, he saw Lu's mother excitedly carrying a large basket of things.
Lu Yunshu's hands were not empty either. In his left hand, he held a large yellow croaker and a piece of pork, and in his right hand, he held a small bag of Fuqiang flour.
Fuqiang flour is actually flour, but it is finer than ordinary flour.
Lin Siqiao was surprised, "Aunt Lu, why did you buy so many things?"
"Si Qiao, get up."
Mother Lu happily opened the basket and showed it to her. "It looks like a lot, but actually I didn't buy much."
“Shepherd’s purse?”
"Um."
Mother Lu nodded with a smile, "I didn't expect that your service center would have autumn shepherd's purse."
"It looked fresh and tender, so I bought some."
"I'll make you some wontons stuffed with yellow croaker and shepherd's purse, and pork dumplings later."
"This weather won't be bad. It will freeze when the time comes."
"Whenever you want to eat, just cook a bowl for yourself. It's convenient."
Mother Lu did what she said and soaked the shepherd's purse in cold water first.
Don’t be fooled by the grayish color of these shepherd’s purse now. After soaking for half an hour, they will immediately turn emerald green.
"Aunt Lu, let me help you."
Lin Siqiao also rolled up his sleeves. Making dumplings is more fun when everyone works together.
"Okay, then you can pick these shepherd's purse and remove the old leaves."
Mother Lu didn't bother to be polite with her. After all, they would be a family sooner or later.
After saying that, he handed the big yellow croaker to Lu Jianchuan, "Go and clean it out first."
"Yunshu, the pork filling is left to you."
After Lu's mother arranged everyone's work, she began to knead the dough.
This time, Lu's mother asked her company to issue a letter of introduction for a few more days.
Before coming here, she went to the grain station to exchange some national grain coupons, but ended up eating and drinking their food and drinks these days.
The food coupons were not touched at all, so Lu's mother simply used them all.
She bought ten kilograms of flour, and added some extra money to the remaining food coupons, which she exchanged directly for some meat and fish coupons from others at the service center.
Several people were busy in the small kitchen. Soon the dough was kneaded and the filling was prepared.
Mother Lu took out a rolling pin and rolled out the dough while teaching her daughter.
"Do you remember everything I just said?"
“Remember!”
"Just remember it. Now watch me roll it, and then you can try it yourself later."
After saying that, Mother Lu glanced at her and said, "I'm not teaching you these things so that you can just work at home after you get married."
"Whether you do these things or not is one thing, and whether you can do them is another."
"Mom, I know."
Lu Yunshu nodded, and Lin Siqiao also took the dumpling wrappers and learned seriously beside him.
It is true that she can cook, but in her later life, Lin Siqiao only learned how to make soups and desserts, and stir-fry dishes were all from the general cuisine.
In short, it looks very expensive and time-consuming.
She knows how to make dumplings and prepare the fillings, but she really doesn’t know how to roll out the dough.
"Si Qiao, you don't need to learn this, Chuan Er knows it."
"He rolls the dumpling wrappers really well."
This was beyond Lin Siqiao's expectation. "You can do it?"
"Um."
Lu Jianchuan took the rolling pin from Lu's mother and picked up a dough ball on the chopping board.
After flattening it, pinch one side of the dough with your left hand and roll it with a rolling pin in your right hand.
After turning it back and forth a few times, a dumpling skin with thin edges and thick middle is rolled out.
Lin Siqiao tried it a few times, but gave up. She thought she didn’t need to learn it anymore.
Anyway, it’s fine as long as Lu Jianchuan knows how to do it.
Whenever they want to eat dumplings, they can work together as a man and a woman. It’s not tiring and it’s pretty good this way.
