Chapter 74 Dad, do you still blame me for...



"I'll do it!"

Bai Lu got up from the rocking chair, ran to the pot, took a spoon and tasted it, then started adding salt...

In fact, I secretly added a little pepper and some chopped matsutake mushrooms, and then tasted it. It was perfect!

Everyone drank rabbit meat porridge and each person ate two large steamed buns.

Half of the food that Shen Liangchen sent yesterday has been gone.

The special forces who were originally hiding in the dark are now out in the open, helping to build houses and so on, regardless of whether the food is suitable or not.

The most important thing is that in the era of food and clothing shortages, food with a little seasoning is really delicious.

Jun Jing took advantage of Bai Lu's nap time to take people into the forest to hunt...

When Bai Lu woke up, she was unhappy when she realized that he had brought people in.

He wanted to run, but was stopped by his uncles.

"Jun kid said that you are not allowed to enter the forest." Xu Zhili said, taking two candies that Shen Liangchen sent yesterday and putting them in Bai Lu's hand.

"Uncle, I am a big fool, not a child."

Xu Zhili was stunned for a moment. Although he was fifty years old, he had never raised a child. His biological daughter was raised by his wife while he was busy with research. Not long after he returned to China, his daughter got married and his wife passed away due to illness...

There was a child following the Xu family. Xu Zhili took a look at Xu Nuo who was tidying up in the house and immediately denied it. Xu Nuo was an adult and Bai Lu was the only child.

He took the candy back to the house and took out the cookies, "If you don't want to eat candy, then you can have some cookies."

Bai Lu looked at the biscuits in her arms, and the corners of her lips twitched. This uncle didn't quite understand what she said, so forget it.

"Boss, make your own bed." Xu Zhiyi came over, shooed Xu Zhili away, and looked at Bai Lu with a slightly frowned brow. "Jun Jing will be back later, so you should clean up your room too. The man will take care of the outside, and the woman will take care of the inside. Don't wait for him to do everything for you."

Bai Lu: ...

No wonder Xu Nuo was raised to be so good at doing housework. With such a father, she has to teach him a lesson.

"Second uncle, the Qing Dynasty has fallen, and women can now hold up half the sky." Bai Lu stared at Xu Zhiyi with her eyes wide open.

Xu Zhiyi frowned and said in a serious tone, "So if you clean up the house, you are holding up half the sky."

"But the house said it was very well behaved and obedient, and I didn't need to clean it. Besides, after I cleaned the house, Junjing came back and he couldn't find the things he needed, so he had to clean it all over again."

Xu Zhiyi began to reason with Bai Lu, "You are so lazy and greedy, your marriage will not last long. You have to think more about Jun Jing in everything. He..."

"Second brother, are you free? Go chop some wood if you have nothing to do." Xu Yuzhen, who was sitting in a rocking chair in the corner outside the house basking in the sun, saw the second brother scolding his granddaughter and yelled. He didn't even understand his own marriage, and he was meddling in other people's marriages! He saw that Jun and his granddaughter were very harmonious! What's wrong with men doing more work? It won't be tiring!

"Just spoil her! Jun Jing dotes on her newlywed, how can they live a good life in the future if they continue like this?" Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but worry about Bai Lu. He and his wife had a good relationship when they got married, but his ex-wife filed for divorce from him and listed the mistakes he had made over the years. He didn't want his mistakes to be repeated on his niece.

"Don't worry, second uncle. If Jun Jing treats me even slightly badly, I won't want him anymore! The next one will be better!" Bai Lu said righteously.

Xu Zhiyi stood there and reasoned with her, "When a couple is together, they have to give to each other. You can't just sit there and let Junjing do things alone. Over time, he'll be filled with resentment."

"Second brother, don't brainwash your niece with your failed marriage and your view of love. I think they live in harmony. Our niece is excellent, and Junjing is happy to serve her. Don't worry about it! Besides, who said our niece doesn't work? She uses her brain." Xu Zhizhi carried the quilt from the wooden house back to the brick house and said to Xu Zhiyi.

Xu Zhiyi choked on the long speech he had already prepared in his head. "Fourth Brother, don't get involved. You've never been married, so how would you know the difficulties of a married couple's life together?"

"Dad, I think what Fourth Uncle said is right. The fundamental reason why Mom left is not that you never did housework, but that she didn't want to suffer because you were sent to the cowshed. I have cleaned up your room for you. Don't bother with Bai Lu. I have cleaned up her room too." Xu Nuo listened in the room for a long time, and finally took responsibility for everything.

Xu Zhiyi: ...Is that what he meant?

"Uncle, have you ever considered that your ex-wife might have divorced you not because she didn't want to suffer in the bullpen, but simply because she felt that you..." Bai Lu pointed her index finger at her head. "That's not quite right. After all, it's normal for people to experience setbacks, but if you blame yourself for all the setbacks, then you're the one at fault..."

Xu Zhiyi thought over and over again about what Bai Lu said next, and found it to be very reasonable. He stood there, pondering it over and over again.

Third uncle Xu Zhiren squatted in a trance, studying the structure with an unused brick. He drew on the ground with a stick, calculating something. Finally, he stood up suddenly and said, "Niece, did you calculate the exact amount before firing this brick? How did you come up with this idea? Let's discuss it!"

Bai Lu traced her eyebrows with her index finger imperceptibly and asked in a cryptic manner, "Third Uncle, do you know Jean Le Corbusier?"

"I know! He is a radical and leader of the modern architectural movement! He is known as the 'Father of Functionalism' and also as the 'Chess Player of Modern Architecture'! My eldest niece also knows him?" Xu Zhiren's eyes lit up when he mentioned professional knowledge.

"I'll tell you a secret. I'm Le Corbusier's direct disciple who appeared in his dream. He asked me to carry forward functionalist architecture. Do you want to hear my plan for carrying it forward? Don't ask me the previous question. I'll tell you later!" Bai Lu looked very confident and exaggerated.
