The two of them strolled until the evening before buying some ingredients and going back to prepare a meal for Zheng Xinyue.
The weather was cool, so Yang Niannian had a better appetite and was craving for meat, so she went home and prepared a plate of braised pork and sweet and sour fish.
It was cold in winter, and even the pork was icy cold, so the task of washing the fish and cutting the meat fell entirely on Lu Shishen.
Yang Niannian sat on a small stool peeling onions and garlic, and did not forget to ask about things.
"You went to the Yu family today, and they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
She was so excited to see Lu Shishen after class that she was so busy shopping that she forgot to ask about this.
Lu Shishen continued cutting the meat and answered in a calm voice.
"No, Mr. Yu taught Yu Shun a lesson with a stick."
Yu Shun has not left Beijing yet, so he did not mention the matter of driving Yu Shun out of Beijing.
Yang Niannian looked up in surprise and asked gloatingly, "Master Yu is taking action again?"
Without waiting for Lu Shishen to answer, he pondered again.
"Isn't it a deliberate act for you? These prominent people are all very cunning, otherwise they would have been pulled down from their high positions long ago."
Lu Shishen did not comment, "I don't rule out this possibility, but judging from Mr. Yu's actions, it doesn't seem like he was acting."
Yang Niannian believed in Lu Shishen's perspective on people. "It seems that Mr. Yu is an understanding man! He must know what kind of person his grandson is and has tolerated him for a long time."
Then he asked with a smile, "When you went there today, were you worried that Mr. Yu would protect you?"
Lu Shishen shook his head and answered with certainty, "He won't."
Yang Niannian became interested, "Why are you so sure?"
Lu Shishen analyzed with a serious face, "After Mr. Yu retired, the Yu family's position in Beijing was not as good as before. The past two years are a critical period for Yu Zhian. If he can't move up, he will have no chance to surpass Mr. Yu, and the focus of the Yu family will be on Yu Sui. In the meantime, the Yu family will have to go through more than ten years before it can regain its current position."
"If the Yu family's opponents catch hold of what Yu Shun did, they will definitely make a big fuss about it, which will have a huge negative impact on the Yu family and will affect Yu Zhian. If the Yu family has any brains, they won't dare to make a big deal out of it."
Even if Yu Shun offended an ordinary woman, once a fight broke out, things would be very serious, let alone an officer's wife?
Keeping things peaceful is the best option for the Yu family.
Yang Niannian: He is worthy of being someone who has been in the court. Look at his clear and logical analysis. He is no less cunning than the Yu family. No wonder he dares to go straight into such a dangerous place.
I have always known that Lu Shishen is not a simple-minded and strong-limbed person. After hearing these words, I became even happier.
She just admires people who are sophisticated and not blindly impulsive.
However, I was still a little worried, "I think Yu Shun is a petty person and might hold a grudge. He might keep this in mind."
Lu Shishen comforted her, "Don't worry, he can't bring me down with his own abilities. Yu Zhian won't go along with him, and even if he wants to, it won't necessarily have any substantial impact on me. Even if the Yu family makes a comeback in a few years and another famous person emerges from the family, I won't be the same as I am now."
Yang Niannian's blood boiled when she heard this. Lu Shishen was not the kind of person who liked to brag. Now that he had put it this way, he would surely achieve great things in the future.
While I was happy, I was also worried that Lu Shishen was under too much pressure.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are already a leader among young people. Even if you can't stay in the army, the family property we have saved is enough for us to have a comfortable life, and it's not bad to live in a small city in our old age."
Lu Shishen looked at her with deep eyes, "Only when you have greater power in your hands can you protect the people you want to protect and make your country stronger."
Yang Niannian felt that Lu Shishen at this moment was like a towering tree, terribly strong.
Worship like a little fangirl.
"I believe you."
Alas! It’s a pity that when the second and third child policy was implemented, she had already gone through menopause. Otherwise, she would really like to have more children of her own and train them all to become pillars of the country.
It would be a shame if Lu Shishen didn’t have more children. He has such good genes.
The two chatted while not neglecting their work. Yang Niannian quickly peeled the garlic and green onions, changed the coal briquettes and prepared to make the braised pork.
Just as I changed the coal briquettes, Zheng Xinyue came back.
He ran to the kitchen door and said exaggeratedly.
"Niannian, what delicious food are you and Brother Lu making? I can smell the fragrance."
Yang Niannian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I haven't even started cooking yet, when did your nose become so sensitive?"
Zheng Xinyue said shamelessly.
"Anyway, I can smell the meat. Wait for me. I'll put the book in the room and come to help you."
Yang Niannian laughed, "No need to help, there's nothing to do, just take a rest and wait for dinner."
Zheng Xinyue had already run into the house, but didn't hear what Yang Niannian said. After a while, she ran back and squeezed into the kitchen to gossip.
"Brother Lu, please tell me quickly whether Yu Zhenghong has dealt with Yu Shun properly."
The kitchen is not big to begin with, and with one more person, it becomes a bit crowded.
Lu Shishen had already finished cutting the meat and killing the fish. He was not good at describing things vividly. He always just talked about the facts and did not like to add to the atmosphere.
sidewalk.
"Let Nian Nian tell you in detail. I have to go to the army tomorrow, so I'll go back to the house to pack my things."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xinyue immediately urged, "Okay, then get busy!"
Before Lu Shishen even stepped out of the door, she was already jumping around excitedly, "Niannian, tell me quickly, make me happy too."
Yang Niannian imagined the scene of Yu Shun being beaten, and felt very relieved. She poured oil into the pot while describing it vividly.
"Mr. Yu is a wise man. He called Yu Shun over and gave him a good beating. I think Yu Shun will behave himself for a while this time."
Yu Shun doesn’t seem like such a brainless person. Even if he wants to do something weird, he won’t dare to do it in the short term.
Zheng Xinyue danced with joy, "Oh my god, this old man Yu is really capable. If I were there, I would definitely applaud and cheer him on. Unfilial descendants like Yu Shun need to be properly educated."
"Don't they say that a good son is born under the stick? If we don't educate Yu Shun well, he might cause trouble in the future. It's better to educate Wu Qingguo as well."
Yang Niannian smiled lightly, "Most likely they won't teach Wu Qingguo a lesson. For a family like theirs, even if they are dissatisfied with their daughter-in-law, they won't do anything."
Zheng Xinyue thought about it and felt that it did make sense.
Yesterday, Yu Shun had a fish bone pierced through his lip by Brother Lu, and today he was beaten up by his family again. It was really satisfying to hear.
"Senior Yu must have taken after his grandfather. He is a good man who understands things. Yu Shun is just a mutation of the Yu family's genes."
Yang Niannian nodded seriously, "Your analysis makes sense. I'll reward you with a few more pieces of braised pork tonight."
Zheng Xinyue's eyes lit up. "I haven't had your braised pork for a long time. Your braised pork is the best I've ever had. It's fatty but not greasy, and goes really well with rice."
After spending a long time with Yang Niannian, Zheng Xinyue became good at flattering her.
