"You talk as if you did it yourself. What are you so narcissistic about? My Xiaozhu is much smarter. Your two older brothers are really useless."
As she spoke, Lu Yulan kissed Xiaozhu again, then pushed the candied hawthorn out. It tastes best when it's icy cold. The syrup is still hot now, and it needs to be exposed to the wind and snow outside to make it a truly delicious candied hawthorn.
Lu Yuanhong followed behind, reflecting on his earlier actions. Why had he done that, and so naturally sought credit? He hadn't done it for...
The courtyard can't be spring-like all year round, but because the company needs vegetables, there's a greenhouse nearby that the Lu family army helped build last time, and it's full of small green vegetables.
Including the time spent setting the trap, it's almost noon now.
Looking at the lush green vegetables in the shed, large clumps of pickled mustard greens clustered together, with the ones near the edge already showing a faint purplish-red hue. They were densely packed together, forming a small, colorful carpet. Water droplets formed from the automatic sprinkler system were on the green leaves, and the small, half-serrated leaves seemed to be shouting, "Come on, eat me! Eat me!"
I start to crave vegetables after not eating them for a while, so I might as well have some greens today.
Braised bok choy with shiitake mushrooms, lettuce with oyster sauce, and spicy stir-fried pickled mustard greens—just seeing one green vegetable can conjure up a whole host of dishes.
Then cook a light and clear noodle soup, with two pretty little sprigs of cilantro floating on top, drifting gently like a small boat on a river.
While high-fat, high-protein foods may have a rich aroma, the allure of simple porridge and side dishes, and carbohydrates, is often more likely to accompany a person throughout their life.
Just like life isn't always full of storms, most of the time it's just ordinary and uneventful. It's like climbing a hill; you walk slowly, and then you see the scenery you've been dreaming of.
Watching the white smoke slowly rise from the steamer, Lu Yulan sat beside Xiaozhu, holding her baby. She watched the wisps of smoke drift upwards and then dissipate into the air.
[Host, what are you trying to do? Are you going to sit down and ascend to immortality to attain enlightenment?]
That light and airy look is kind of scary.
"Today I want to be a quiet little fairy."
[That's probably impossible. Lu and the others are waiting for your lecture today. Didn't I prepare the materials for you last night? Are you scared? Who was it that shamelessly claimed to be a big shot back then? What's wrong with you now? Give up your chickens?]
"hehe!"
Lu Yulan scoffed, "Are you kidding? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would back down? It's just that my boss is like lettuce, anyone can recite a book. We're all family here, so it's not appropriate for him to lecture so casually."
Are you sure?
"I'm sure."
Lu Yulan nodded hastily, wanting nothing more than to escape today's lecture; she was so ashamed she wanted to cry.
I might not be as nervous as I am now if I were to actually give a lecture. These are all family members, and I feel inexplicably ashamed.
Thankfully, Lu Nanshen wasn't there, otherwise, she would have dug a hole and buried herself in it.
Oh, well, your good days have come, because someone who isn't one of your own has appeared.
As soon as Xiaomi finished speaking, Lu Yulan felt something was off. She suddenly remembered that Grandpa Lu had left Rose Star very early that day.
A bad feeling arose spontaneously.
Until a loud voice startled her from her reverie.
"Boss, we've come to wish you and the Marshal a Happy New Year in advance."
Lu Yulan: ...?!
"Did you already know?"
Rubbing her temples, Lu Yulan looked at her younger brother who floated in and said, "Brother, I have a terrible headache. You guys stay with Gu Chen, I'm going upstairs to rest for a bit."
She truly appreciated Grandpa Lu's kindness; she wanted to cry!
