Chapter 115: Saw Lu Yunchen? It must be because I missed him too much

"Mom, what are you looking for?"

Yaya held Huang Xinran's hand and shook it slightly. Her big black eyes flickered, full of curiosity.

Although it was not their first time in the city, everything around them was still so new and exciting to the two children.

Huang Xinran touched Yaya's little head and said, "It's nothing. Maybe Mommy saw it wrong."

Otherwise, how could she have seen Lu Yunchen?

It must be because I missed him too much.

She glanced at Maomao, and facing Maomao's eyes that looked very similar to Lu Yunchen's, she felt that her entire thoughts were seen through by this child, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red.

"Well, let's hurry up. If we go too late, you won't be able to eat dumplings today."

Huang Xinran took her two children into the city. Because Maomao was carsick, she promised the children that she would buy some meat to make dumplings when they got there.

Now they were on their way to buy meat and flour, but who knew that the store didn't have any flour in stock?

"Mom, hurry up!~"

Yaya became anxious and kept pulling her forward.

Maomao, on the other hand, was quite calm. He looked at Huang Xinran, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and then subconsciously looked towards the other end of the street.

He seemed to see his father...

Huang Xinran bought some meat and flour and went home to make dumplings.

In fact, she wanted to buy dumpling wrappers to save trouble. She was from the south, and although she could roll out dough, it was not as convenient as having ready-made dumpling wrappers. Unfortunately, they went too late and the dumpling wrapper vendor had already closed his stall.

Back in the shop, Liu Zhaodi was busy making clothes. Huang Hongyi was visiting the shop and introducing the samples hanging in the shop to a middle-aged woman. When he saw Huang Xinran coming, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Yaya and Maomao are here?"

When she found out that Huang Xinran happened to see it, she hurriedly tried to get away by hugging Maomao: "Sister Wang, this is my sister. Let her introduce her to you. Come here, Maomao, let your uncle hug you!"

"Uncle, uncle, mom said, let's make dumplings tonight."

Yaya said this with a babble, and was led by Huang Hongyi to the shop next door.

Huang Xinran was delighted and hurriedly asked Sister Wang to look at the styles. After she finalized Sister Wang's order, collected the deposit and sent her away, she looked at her mother and said, "Mom, where's my brother?"

"Making dumplings with my two kids in the back of the house."

Liu Zhaodi pointed to the back and said, "You should go and have a look. You know your elder brother's cooking skills. If it's too late, let's have noodle soup tonight."

Huang Hongyi's cooking skills are passable, but he can't make dumplings or wontons well. Every time they fall apart, the dough is just dough and the meat is just meat.

Huang Xinran hurried to the back of the house and saw the three people gathered together.

Fortunately, Huang Hongyi was self-aware and rolled out a lot of dumpling skins, but did not make the stuffing.

"Sister, you've come just in time. Come over and check on your naughty kids. If you're late, I'll slap each of you and teach you a lesson."

"No, I'm just helping my uncle..."

Yaya quickly retorted.

Next to the two children were several pieces of strange-looking dough, which were obviously their masterpieces.

Huang Xinran was amused: "Yaya and Maomao are both very capable. They know how to help their uncle. Not bad, very good. I'll make dumplings and give them to Yaya and Maomao when they're cooked. Okay?"

"Okay, okay. Mom, I want to eat dumplings. I want lots and lots of dumplings!"

"Okay, eat a lot."

Children, as always, have big eyes and small stomachs. They roared loudly, but their small stomachs really couldn't eat much.

Huang Xinran adapted to the dish and used existing cucumbers and pork to make dumplings with cucumber filling.

The dumplings with cucumber filling were not greasy, and half of the filling was cucumber and meat, so they tasted very good. Both children ate more than ten dumplings before they put down their chopsticks and bowls.

Naturally, it received unanimous praise from everyone.

After dinner, Huang Hongyi went to the backyard to work again.

Because this row of shops used to belong to the Liang family, they have not been open for business for many years. As a result, the steep slope behind the houses has also been empty and unoccupied.

The reason for the steep slope is naturally related to the large rocky mountain that is integrated with the hillside behind the house.

Huang Hongyi used the buffer zone between the bottom of the rocky hill and the shop, and built a kitchen and bathroom with red bricks. The reason he started again was that he saw that Huang Xinran brought a pair of children with him, and the shop could not be opened, so he turned his attention to the wider area behind the shop next door.

Huang Xinran knew that the shop next door was also owned by the Liang family.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Liang family has fallen into decline, no one has set foot around their shop.

Today, Huang Hongyi actually wanted to use the vacant land to build another house. Huang Xinran hesitated for a moment, but finally did not stop him.

She had also made up her mind that she would tell Liang Wei about this matter the next time she saw him.

It's just a temporary building, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

After all, the inspection of illegal buildings is not that strict these days...

Huang Hongyi was very good at working with things. He took advantage of the time between lunch and dark to prepare the foundation for the expanded room and even built the brick walls half a meter high.

If nothing goes wrong, it should be completed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

She felt someone pulling her fingers, and when she turned around, she saw Maomao's nervous little face.

"Maomao, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, I, I saw Dad today."

Maomao looked at Huang Xinran seriously, without blinking, with a very serious attitude.

Huang Xinran found it funny, but soon she couldn't laugh anymore. She couldn't help but think of the person she saw at the intersection in the afternoon who vaguely looked like Lu Yunchen.

"Maomao, you are seeing things. Your father is still in the army. How could you see him here? Be good, go back and take a shower and get ready for bed."

"No, I really saw my dad! I'm not lying!" Maomao was anxious and emphasized quickly.

"Okay, you've seen your dad. But so what? He's in the army, defending the country, and he has his own things to do. Shouldn't you also do your thing and not let Mom worry about you?"

"I, I'm going to take a shower..."

After Maomao finished speaking, he turned around and left her.

The back figure looks lonely and petite.

Huang Xinran's eyebrows jumped fiercely. Even Maomao said that she saw Lu Yunchen. Could it be that the man she saw in the afternoon was really him?

But how did he get here?

This shouldn't happen...

Because he had something on his mind, Huang Xinran couldn't sleep the whole night. He kept making pancakes on his bed, switching from one side to the other.

She couldn't figure out the purpose of Lu Yunchen coming here. Could it be that as the woman who answered the phone said, he had left the army to do a mission and happened to come to the city, and was seen by the mother and son?

If only she could talk to Lu Yunchen.

This way, she no longer has to be suspicious and make herself look unlike herself.

Because of this, she couldn't get up the next morning. She stayed in bed until Liu Zhaodi finished cooking and called her to get up. Then she forced herself to get up.

There are few customers in the shop today, and Huang Hongyi has been busy in the backyard, continuing to build the wall.

Huang Xinran had nothing to do, so he came to help. One was building the wall, and the other was leveling the ground. The wall built by Huang Hongyi was not very high. In order to save labor and materials, he used the original back wall of the shop to build three slanted walls. Although the area was larger than the kitchen and bathroom, Huang Xinran looked at it and estimated that if a two-meter bed was put down, there would be nothing left.

The most important thing is that this house was built according to local conditions, so the house is not a regular square, but an irregular quadrilateral.

Even so, everyone was very happy.

"I'll go and see if I can buy some oil felt tomorrow."

Huang Hongyi used the wood for the roof from the dismantled wooden cabinets in the original shop. He pieced them together to make the roof beams. He only needed to put a few sheets of oiled felt on top to make a simple shed.
