After about half an hour, the scallion pancakes had cooled down. Jiang Manyue put all the pancakes into the lunch box, picked up the eggs and put them in the box, and finally put two cans of meat in it. She packed it up and waited for Lu Lin to come back and eat it on the way.
After buying the train ticket and some pork, Lu Lin hurried back. His ticket was for the afternoon, so he could have lunch at home before leaving.
As soon as he got home, Jiang Manyue took the meat from his hand and said casually, "I made some food for you to take with you on the road. It's all in the house. Scallion pancakes don't last long, so remember to eat them quickly before they go bad."
Lu Lin obviously didn't expect Jiang Manyue to prepare food for him on the road, and was a little stunned.
"What are you standing there for? Go pack your luggage. I put two cans of meat in there for you. Eat them with the bread. If you finish the bread and it hasn't arrived yet, you can get a meal on the train and add some meat dishes."
Jiang Manyue pushed Lu Lin into the house and started preparing lunch.
Lu Lin was leaving in the afternoon, so Jiang Manyue decided to make her own specialty, braised pork, braised eggplant, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried pork with celery, and winter melon soup, making a total of four dishes and one soup as a farewell meal for Lu Lin.
Lu Lin, who was pushed into the house to pack his luggage, looked at the net bag on the table and couldn't help but open it to take a look.
The two lunch boxes were filled with scallion pancakes and braised eggs. Although the scallion pancakes were cold, one could still smell a faint fragrance.
Looking at the two large boxes of food, Lu Lin inexplicably thought of his other comrades who had returned from visiting their families. They would always happily brush their lunch boxes and show off what delicious food their wives had prepared for them to eat on the train.
Some comrades live nearby, and when the weather is cold and storage is convenient, they will specially save some for everyone to taste their wives' cooking skills.
Lu Lin thought that it was a bit hot now and it would be difficult to store. Next time when the weather was cold, he would bring some back for his comrades to taste Jiang Manyue's cooking skills, so that he wouldn't always be the one being shown off.
But the next moment, Lu Lin was shocked again. What was he thinking?
He and Jiang Manyue are just collaborating now. She prepared food for him on the road out of kindness. Why is he thinking of taking it back to show off?
Even if I bring it back to show off, what can he say? Say that this was made by my wife?
Lu Lin cursed himself in his heart, packed up the lunch box, put it neatly into the net bag, and turned to pack other luggage.
Jiang Manyue had no idea what was going on in his mind. She was busy in the kitchen for a long time, and when Li Guifen came back to cook, her dishes were almost ready.
"So many dishes? Is this a special meal for A-lin?"
Seeing that Jiang Manyue cooked so many dishes, Li Guifen felt that she really cared about Lu Lin, so she stopped worrying about whether the two of them would succeed or not.
After all, we didn't get along much before, and we haven't been together for a few days this time. Maybe the time is not right yet. Let's wait until I come back next time and get along again. Maybe it will work out.
And judging by Jiang Manyue's attitude towards Lu Lin, there might really be a chance next time Lu Lin comes back.
"Oh, Mom, please cook less. I still have some dough for scallion pancakes. I just made some food for Lu Lin in the car. There's a little left. I can make some for lunch."
When Li Guifen heard Jiang Manyue say that she had prepared food for Lu Lin on the bus, she became even happier. It turned out that Jiang Manyue was interested in Lu Lin and she even specially prepared food for him. She was more thoughtful than anyone else.
Li Guifen quickly agreed and happily went out to wash rice and cook.
Jiang Manyue was a little confused about her sudden change of mood. He just asked her to cook less, and it wasn't a big deal. Why was she so happy?
Li Guifen happily washed the rice, cooked the meal, and went to find Lu Lin with a smile on her face.
Lu Lin had just finished packing his luggage and was about to come out when he saw his mother coming over with a smile.
"Alin, I heard that Man Yue made some food for you and ate it on the train?"
Lu Lin nodded, confused, "Yes, Mom, what's wrong?"
Li Guifen smiled at him mischievously, "People care about you so much, and you don't show any appreciation?"
Seeing his mother's expression, Lu Lin felt his hair stand on end. "Mom, what do you want to say?"
Li Guifen's expression changed instantly, and she glared at him resentfully, "You're going back to the army soon, and you don't even think about spending more time with your wife? You let her cook in the kitchen alone?"
Lu Lin reacted quickly this time, "I know, Mom. I'll go show her the fire right away."
After saying that, Lu Lin walked towards the kitchen. Li Guifen nodded with satisfaction. This kid was quite sensible. Although he went to watch the fire, they still stayed together.
Lu Lin entered the kitchen, and Jiang Manyue didn't even raise her head. "Mom, please help me light the fire. I'm going to make pancakes."
Jiang Manyue thought Lu Lin was being commanded by Li Guifen. Lu Lin did not say anything, but sat silently in front of the stove and picked up the long tongs.
"Mom, lower the fire. Just keep a little flame."
Lu Lin still didn't say anything and took all the firewood out as she requested.
After Jiang Manyue finished making the pancakes, she noticed that it was Lu Lin sitting in front of the stove.
"Why is it you? I thought it was Mom. I called her several times, but you didn't say anything."
Lu Lin stood up and shook his head. "It's all the same. I'm just helping you watch the fire."
Jiang Manyue felt that he was acting strangely, so she stuffed the scallion pancake into his hand and said, "Bring it to the main room. It's time to eat."
Lu Lin was stuffed with a plate by her and walked obediently towards the main room, but he felt a little strange in his heart.
It seemed like after he and Jiang Manyue talked it out, they became more familiar with each other and got along more naturally.
Jiang Manyue would prepare food for him when he went out, and after the meal was ready, she would naturally instruct him to serve the dishes, without any awkward feeling as before.
However, he had to admit that he felt a lot more relieved after knowing that Jiang Manyue had changed into a different person.
He can't say that he likes the current Jiang Manyue, but he doesn't reject her either. At least they can live in harmony.
As Lu Lin walked towards the main room, he thought that if life continued like this, it would be pretty good.
After finishing his meal, Lu Lin picked up his luggage, changed into his military uniform, and prepared to go out.
Jiang Manyue followed Li Guifen and Lu Qingyou, holding Lu Junan's hand and went to the brigade intersection to see him off.
Li Guifen's eyes were red. She never saw her son because he was serving in the army. She didn't know when they would meet again.
Lu Qingyou also felt a lot of emotion, only Jiang Manyue was cheerful and expressed her happiness about Lu Lin's departure.
Li Guifen and Lu Lin chattered for a long time, finally wiped their tears, and pushed Jiang Manyue forward, "You two should talk again. It's been a while since we last met."
Jiang Manyue suddenly felt awkward. She looked at Lu Lin, not knowing what to say, so she said, "Don't eat cold scallion pancakes. Put them near the water source and toast them before eating."
Lu Lin suddenly smiled when he heard this, and looked down at her seriously, "I understand."
