Jiang Manyue took Lu Junan to the private plot and picked a bunch of vegetables. There was braised pork today, so just stir-fry some vegetables to relieve the greasiness.
Li Guifen was lighting a fire and cooking in the kitchen with a sad face. When she saw Jiang Manyue coming back, she quickly wiped her face and pretended to be normal.
Jiang Manyue didn't notice her little action. She walked to the well to wash the vegetables and also washed Lu Junan's hands.
The rice had just been cooked, and the dishes would get cold if they were fried now. Jiang Manyue simply put the dishes by the well and waited until the rice was cooked before frying them.
Lu Jun'an was a little impatient, so he ran to the kitchen to see if the meal was ready, and then ran outside to see if his grandfather had come back.
Seeing that he was busy, Jiang Manyue simply asked him to pick up his grandfather from work so that he wouldn't have to wait here and look anxious.
Lu Jun'an thought about it and agreed. Since the meal wasn't ready yet, he might as well go pick up his grandfather from work and tell him that his aunt had prepared delicious food again today and asked him to come back quickly for dinner.
Lu Jun'an, who had gotten a job, left happily. When he reached the field, he saw Lu Qingyou and waved to him.
Lu Qingyou heard his grandson's voice and saw him standing by the field, waving and shouting. He thought something had happened at home and ran over in a hurry.
"What's wrong, Jun'an? What happened?"
Lu Jun'an shook his head. "Nothing happened. Auntie made some delicious braised pork and asked me to pick him up from work and take him home for dinner."
Lu Qingyou finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted Lu Jun'an on the head. "Okay, wait a moment, I'll be done soon."
Lu Jun'an nodded and sat quietly on the edge of the field, waiting for his grandfather to finish work and come home for dinner.
Lu Qingyou was almost done with his work, so he quickly handed in his job and went home with his grandson.
He was also very greedy for the braised pork that his grandson mentioned, but he didn't know what it tasted like.
Li Guifen's cooking has been as bad as ever for the past ten years. Even the meat doesn't taste good. Lu Qingyou doesn't even look forward to eating meat anymore. But when his grandson said it was cooked by Jiang Manyue, everything changed.
He was so enchanted by the dishes Jiang Manyue cooked last time that he had been thinking about them these days. Now that he finally managed to cook the meat, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"The meat cooked by Auntie is so delicious, so fragrant and tender. Grandpa, why is the meat cooked by grandma so hard and hard to chew?"
Lu Junan was young and felt that the meat cooked by his aunt was soft and easy to chew, while the meat cooked by his grandmother was impossible to chew. He asked directly without thinking too much.
Lu Qingyou didn't know how to respond, so he could only say a few vague words and send Lu Jun'an away.
Lu Jun'an was also easy to deal with. When Grandpa avoided answering, he moved on to other topics.
"Grandpa, Auntie has been really nice to me lately, just like Auntie Jiang Da and Auntie Jiang Er have been to Brother Jiang Hong and Brother Jiang Cheng. But Brother Jiang Hong and the others call her mom, so why should I call her Auntie instead of mom? Can't Auntie be my mom? If Auntie is my mom, then I have a mom."
Lu Jun'an actually didn't understand the relationship between these titles, and the question he asked was full of childish innocence, but this question left Lu Qing speechless.
At the same time, he was also very sad. His grandson was born by his eldest daughter-in-law with great effort, but he lost his mother at birth. When he was still young and ignorant, his father was also gone. Until now, he doesn't even know who his parents are.
"Aunt is not your mother. Your mother went to a very far place and will not come back."
Lu Jun'an didn't know where the very far place was, but he knew that if he didn't come back, he wouldn't come back, and he would never have a mother in the future.
"Then can I treat my aunt as my mother?"
Lu Jun'an still thinks that Jiang Manyue is particularly good recently, especially like the mother he imagined she would be.
Lu Qingyou didn't know how to answer, because he and his wife had already told their youngest son that he and Jiang Manyue should divorce, but he couldn't explain it to Lu Jun'an.
Seeing that his grandfather was silent, Lu Jun'an sensibly stopped asking questions, but he felt a little disappointed.
The grandfather and grandson returned home in silence. Jiang Manyue happened to be passing by the door carrying dishes. When she saw the two of them walk in, she seemed unhappy.
Jiang Manyue was a little surprised, but didn't ask any questions. She just said, "Come and eat," and went into the house with the dishes.
When Lu Jun'an heard that it was time for dinner, he perked up again and took his grandfather to the well to wash his hands and prepare to eat.
Li Guifen finally brought the meal to the table and they could start eating.
When Lu Qingyou smelled the aroma of braised pork, he stopped thinking about those things and served himself some rice and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Lu Jun'an completely forgot about everything else when he had food to eat, and ate more deliciously than anyone else.
After all, it is a rare opportunity to eat such delicious meat. There are four people at the table, so even if they have some thoughts, they put them aside and concentrate on eating.
The braised pork and vegetables were quickly eaten up, and Lu Qingyou mixed the oil at the bottom of the bowl with rice and ate it all.
After lunch, when Li Guifen cleared the dishes and returned to the room, Lu Qingyou was still sitting by the bed with a sad face.
"Old Lu, what are you doing? Why are you sitting here instead of sleeping?"
Lu Qingyou glanced at his little grandson who was sleeping with his eyes closed and sighed.
"Today Jun'an asked me why my aunt couldn't be his mother, and I didn't know how to answer."
Li Guifen was also worried when talking about this matter, and the two of them sat on the bed with sad faces.
"Look at you, you insisted on me sending a telegram to ask A-Lin to come back for a divorce. She's fine now, why did you bring this up?"
Lu Qingyou couldn't help but blame his wife. She insisted on getting them divorced when everything was going well. Now that his daughter-in-law was being nice to everyone, they were the ones who were in the wrong.
Li Guifen also regretted it and spoke hesitantly, "However, why don't you send a telegram to A-lin and tell him that you don't want a divorce and ask him to come back and be with Man Yue. Maybe the two of them can really get along?"
Lu Qingyou didn't say anything, so Li Guifen continued, "Man Yue is doing well now. If A Lin can really develop feelings for her, wouldn't that be a good thing?"
"Didn't A-Lin say he was going on a mission? Who are you sending this telegram to? He'll be back when his mission is complete. We'll talk about it then."
Li Guifen thought about it and agreed. Lu Lin was not in the army, so he wouldn't be able to receive the telegram. It would be better to wait until the person came back.
"If they really develop feelings for each other, then Jun'an can treat Man Yue as his mother. Now that his parents are gone, A Lin will be half his father, and Auntie can be considered half his mother."
Lu Qingyou didn't respond, he just threw back the quilt and lay down, "Let's talk about it later, sleep, I have to go to work in the afternoon."
After hearing this, Li Guifen stopped talking to him and lay down to sleep.
Both of them fell asleep quickly, and no one noticed that Lu Jun'an secretly opened his eyes again. His eyes were very clear, and he didn't look like he had just woken up at all.
Lu Jun'an actually didn't fall asleep, he just closed his eyes and listened to the entire conversation between his grandparents.
He didn't understand some of the words, but that didn't stop him from writing them down. He would ask Brother Jiang Hong and the others in the afternoon. They were older than him and would definitely understand what they meant.
