The rice pot was already boiling. Yang Niannian scooped out the rice soup with a spoon and blocked the coal stove mouth to prevent the rice from burning.
I washed the pork belly, cut it into small pieces, put it on a plate and prepared to cook the pork belly. I also made some cold cucumber salad, and cut some pepper scrambled eggs and spicy and sour potato shreds.
An An's taste is similar to hers, and although he is younger, he can eat spicier food than her.
Just as I was about to take the rice pot off the coal stove to cook, I suddenly heard Lu Ruoling's scream from the toilet, followed by a slam of the toilet door.
Yang Niannian was startled and hurried out to check the situation.
Lu Shishen stood at the door of the toilet with a dark face and said in a deep voice.
"Why don't you lock the door when you go to the bathroom?"
Lu Ruoling's aggrieved voice came from the toilet, "I didn't know there was a lock on the toilet. In my hometown, the toilets are at most covered with a curtain. Who would install such a nice door for the toilet and lock it? There's nothing good to see in the toilet. Who would go in and watch others poop?"
Because she was too anxious, she habitually used "I".
Yang Niannian burst out laughing. The person she had been thinking about day and night was standing in front of her. She didn't pretend to be reserved and flew towards Lu Shishen, hanging directly on his neck.
"Lu Shishen, I miss you so much, do you miss me?"
Yang Niannian has a clear and pleasant voice. When she speaks normally, it sounds like she is acting coquettishly, soft and sweet.
Lu Shi was afraid that she would fall, so he pinched her slender waist with both hands. His eyes suddenly darkened, and his expression and voice softened. He was not good at saying sweet words, especially since Lu Ruoling was still in the bathroom.
But the longing in his eyes could not be concealed, "Did you buy a sleeper? You are so tired from sitting on the train for a whole day, why didn't you wait for me to come back before cooking?"
Yang Niannian rubbed her head against his neck. "I saw the admission letter from Beijing University right after I came back. How can I feel tired? I am so energetic that I can kill a bull."
Thinking of something, she asked seriously, "By the way, I broke off Ruoling's engagement and brought her here. Do you have any objections?"
Lu Shishen shook his head. "It's good that you are willing to bring her and she is willing to come."
Yang Niannian's eyes smiled into crescent shapes and she gave him a kiss on the chin.
"I love your understanding of the big picture."
Lu Shishen's eyes darkened, and the tips of his ears gradually turned red, but he said seriously, "Stop making trouble."
Although he said this, he didn't pull Yang Niannian off her.
Yang Niannian leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't worry! I just checked, there's no one around."
Although she said this, she still let go of Lu Shishen's hand. The house they lived in was a fenced yard that was only waist-high. There was no privacy when standing in the yard. It would be bad if they were seen by outsiders.
"Second sister-in-law, second brother." Lu Ruoling opened the door and came out of the bathroom, and a foul smell wafted out.
Lu Shishen hummed and calmly pulled Yang Niannian aside.
Lu Ruoling didn't know that Lu Shishen had called home, and she clutched her collar nervously.
"Brother, Qian Yong and I broke up. I couldn't stay at home, so I followed my sister-in-law here."
My sister has lost a lot of weight. She must have had a lot of good experiences during this period. It’s a pity that Lu Shishen doesn’t like to show his emotions on his face or in his words.
He said calmly, "It's a breakup, just listen to your second sister-in-law in the future, she won't harm you."
After a pause, he frowned and added, "There is a bolt on the toilet door. You must lock the door when you go to the toilet next time."
It’s great that my second brother didn’t chase her away.
Lu Ruoling smiled heartlessly, "Second brother, as long as you don't chase me away, I will do whatever Second Sister-in-law tells me to do."
Yang Niannian was amused by her words, "Go inside and have a rest! I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Lu Ruoling had never enjoyed a life of having everything provided for her, so she was a little uncomfortable. "Second sister-in-law, can I help you cook?"
Yang Niannian shook her head, "No, go watch TV, your second brother will come to help me later."
Lu Ruoling has a very honest personality. Even though Yang Niannian didn't let her help, she didn't insist on helping. She trotted into the house to watch TV. After watching just a little bit, she was attracted by the plot.
Yang Niannian urged Lu Shishen, "Don't you want to go to the bathroom? Go quickly!"
After saying that, she walked into the kitchen, took the pot off the coal stove, took the tongs to replace the coal ball, waited for the flame to come up, put the iron pot on it, heated it up, poured oil and sautéed the garlic.
Yang Niannian is willing to use a lot of oil when cooking, and it’s a good thing that she is here. If Ma Xiuzhu saw her using so much oil to stir-fry shredded potatoes, it would hurt her more than pouring hot oil on her heart.
"You go and rest, I'll come." Lu Shishen walked in from outside.
Yang Niannian glanced at him and turned her gaze back to the oil pan.
"I'll fry it, and you can go pick two tomatoes from the vegetable garden! I'll also add some egg soup. Ruo Ling just arrived and she didn't have a good meal on the way, so we have to treat her well."
Lu Shishen nodded, "Okay." Then he turned and left the kitchen.
Although Nian Nian looks thin, she works very efficiently. When Lu Shishen came back, the shredded potatoes and scrambled eggs with peppers were already ready, and she was stir-frying the braised pork with a spatula.
Lu Shishen washed and cut the tomatoes, beat the eggs in a bowl, and seeing that Yang Niannian's hair was a little messy, he raised his hand to help her tuck the loose hair behind her ears.
Frowning slightly, "You've lost weight again. No matter what happens in the future, don't rush back so quickly. Wait for me at home."
He had experienced separation from his loved ones once and didn't want to experience it a second time.
Yang Niannian suspected that Lu Shishen’s eyes were made of a ruler. She had only been back for two or three days, how thin could she be?
Knowing that he loves me, I feel sweet in my heart.
Knowing that Lu Shishen loved her, she wanted to help Lu Shishen deal with household affairs, so that Lu Shishen would have no worries and no distractions when he was on a mission, and would always come back safely.
She said sensibly, "My father-in-law wrote to me saying that my mother-in-law drank rat poison. It would be inappropriate for me to receive the letter and not reply."
Thinking of the incident with his sister-in-law, he was frightened again. "It's a good thing I went back, otherwise Ruoling would have been so wronged. Look at how thin she is, with a pointy chin. You didn't know that Qian Yong's mother was very vicious. She is an unreasonable and evil woman. Her mouth stinks more than a dead mouse in the dog days of summer. She is not only incomplete in her work, but her son can't even take care of himself. If Ruoling follows him, her life will be ruined."
Lu Shishen frowned, "Do my parents know about Qian Yong's situation?"
Yang Niannian nodded and complained, "I know, but they think divorce is shameful and don't want to return the betrothal money, so they don't agree to Ruoling's divorce."
"I was worried that you would blame me for acting on my own, but after meeting Qian Yong, I decided to help Ruo Ling break off the engagement. I have never seen a person as stupid and despicable as Qian Yong. He looks at people with his eyes fixed on them, as if he has X-ray vision."
She couldn't stop complaining once she started. When she realized that Lu Shishen had been silent, she turned her head and saw that he had a sullen face and a frown on his brows. He looked as if he wanted to run back and skin Qian Yong.
She stuck out her tongue and changed the subject, "By the way, the day I went back, I saw a man who looked very much like An An."
Lu Shishen's eyes suddenly deepened, "Where did you meet?"
