"It takes several hours to ride a bicycle to the county train station. Is it in time?"
"It's not too late." Lu Zhengxiang shook his head calmly to indicate that it was okay.
Although Ruan Suhe didn't quite believe what he said, she didn't refute it again. The first thing a gold medal salesperson should learn is to listen and affirm the client.
"Okay, then you should go early and come back early. There are still a few cooked eggs in the pot. Even if you are in a hurry, you should eat something to fill your stomach."
"I'll get it."
Before Ruan Suhe finished speaking and took a step, Tiedan rushed to the kitchen.
After a while, Tiedan came out with two eggs wrapped in his own handkerchief. He didn't run because he was afraid of dropping the eggs on the ground.
"Dad, take the eggs. I'll wait for you to come back."
He raised the egg in his hand above his head with all his strength, his eyes sparkling as he looked up and said to Lu Zhengxiang with a smile.
...
...
Tiedan's smile was very rare in Ruan Suhe's original memory. Ruan Suhe was a little dazed by this pure smile.
"Thank you Tiedan, I will try to come back early so that you don't stay up late."
Lu Zhengxiang took the egg from Tiedan's hand and put it into his coat pocket.
"If I'm not back by late, don't wait for me. Put the wooden latch of the gate in place before dark, just in case."
After he said that, he nodded to the group of three, one big and two small, then turned and left.
Ruan Suhe watched the two little eyes following his back, and waited until his figure disappeared at the intersection in the distance before closing the big wooden door of the yard.
"I'll put the wooden latch in now. Your dad will climb over the wall. Don't worry."
As she closed the door, she thought it would be better to put the safety in now rather than wait until dark to put the bolt in.
"It's windy now, you two go play in the living room, I'll make something to eat."
She was now trying to find a way of speaking that would make Tiedan obedient, and she had to use a commanding tone.
Although Tiedan was a little angry, he still held Ruoruo's hand and walked towards the living room.
After Ruan Suhe watched the two little ones enter the living room, she quietly followed them and left the door ajar.
When she stood in the kitchen, she was really overwhelmed. After all, as a new-age woman in 2024, she rarely cooks for herself. Office workers either order takeout or eat out in restaurants.
What she is best at is cooking instant noodles, and she always cooks the high-end version, with eggs, sausages, and vegetables. Oh, and there is another dish she is best at - scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Ruan Suhe looked at the bottles and jars in the kitchen, rubbed her hands, and planned to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
She did it right away. She remembered that she still had two tomatoes, so she took them out of the vegetable basket, washed them, cut them into slices, and beat the eggs for later use.
I glanced at the cucumber again and thought of adding some cold cucumber salad. Cold dishes just require adding seasonings and don't require any technical skills.
However, she was not good at making staple food. There were too many steps to eat noodles, and she didn't have an electric rice cooker to steam rice. Although she had seen on a certain video that rice could be steamed in a steamer, she had never actually tried it.
That's what she thought, but Ruan Suhe's actions were ahead of her thoughts.
Her hands involuntarily started to wash the rice, to see if there was anything wrong. There were two iron pots, one big and one small, on the stove in the kitchen, one for cooking and the other for steaming rice.
To be honest, she is still very smart. Cold dishes are best mixed. She cuts cucumber slices, sprinkles seasonings on them, and pours hot oil on them. The aroma is overwhelming.
Then start frying the eggs, and serve them out after they are scrambled. Then fry the tomatoes, and when the tomatoes become softer, put the eggs in, sprinkle with seasoning, and turn them over a few times before serving.
Ruan Suhe was not sure whether the dish she cooked was edible, so she picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and tasted it.
[Not bad, not bad, the taste is OK, but it needs to be improved. You will definitely improve after practicing more.]
When she ate the dishes she cooked and found them tasted good, she felt a little excited and couldn't help but affirm and cheer herself up.
After waiting for a few minutes, the rice was ready. It seemed that too much water was poured in, so the rice grains were not distinct. However, she was not demanding, as long as it was edible.
βIt smells so good.β
I don't know when Ruoruo started standing quietly by the kitchen door. Her little head poked out from the door frame a little bit, and she smacked her lips. It was obvious that her little glutton was aroused.
"Ruoruo, are you hungry? I've prepared dinner. You and Tiedan go to the living room and wipe the table. I'll bring the dishes over."
She guessed that Tiedan was standing behind Ruoruo, but was too embarrassed to show his head. After she finished speaking, she washed her hands and dried them directly on the apron around her waist, then carried two dishes to the living room.
When she walked into the living room, she saw the dining table that had been polished to a shine and felt a little amused.
[As expected, he is still a child. It is easy to coax him if you find the right method. γ
Ruan Suhe put the two plates of food away and went back to get the steamed rice bowl, small bowl and chopsticks.
She didn't know when Lu Zhengxiang would be back, so she served out a bowl of rice in advance and kept a small portion of vegetables warm in the pot.
The two kids were very satisfied with the dinner. She looked at the two empty bowls and felt that the two little ones were still a little unsatisfied.
"I will cook for you every day from now on. I will definitely feed you two until you are fat."
Ruan Suhe could understand their desire for hot meals, and promised with some heartache.
"It's delicious. Mom's cooking is delicious..."
Ruoruo nodded softly and cutely and responded with a smile, but Tiedan pulled her hand back.
She knew that Tiedan was very wary and was still resistant to Ruoruo calling her mother, which was understandable to her.
Ruan Suhe gave Ruoruo a smile that she thought was very nice, and took the dishes back to the kitchen to wash them.
She should be thankful that she didn't see Ruoruo's dazed expression, because her smile was too ugly, and the fat on her face looked really unsightly.
Time passed quickly and soon night fell. There was no moon tonight, and the sky was full of twinkling stars like naughty elves.
When Lu Zhengxiang came back, the two little ones were already fast asleep.
The reason why Ruan Suhe knew he had returned was because she heard the sound of footsteps hitting the corner of the wall.
"Is it going well?"
She put on her coat, lifted the door curtain, and with the help of the light in the house, she asked in the direction where Lu Zhengxiang was walking.
"You got to the train station at just the right time. You bought your train ticket on time. Here you go."
Probably because he was in a hurry, Lu Zhengxiang's breathing became unstable and he took several deep breaths.
Ruan Suhe took the train ticket he handed over, and her fingertips accidentally brushed across the back of his hand, which was a little cold, making her shiver, as if an electric current had passed through her.
In an instant, the tips of her ears turned red. "Well, I've warmed up some rice for you in the kitchen. Go and have some."
After saying this, she quickly lowered the curtain, turned around and went into the bedroom, pinching the skin on her other hand with one hand and regretting quietly.
"You spineless person, you spineless person, it's just a touch of hands, why are you blushing? Why are your ears red?"
