Chapter 113 Chronological Articles (XI)
A table full of dishes, the Wang family prepared the highest standard meal to entertain Lu Ting.
Stir-fried pork head with green onions, braised small crucian carp, cold dishes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried meat with beans, fried peanuts and white flour buns.
Xiang Chuyun thought it was New Year's Day.
Lu Ting and Wang Guilan didn't eat much, as they had eaten much more delicious food and had very picky tastes. They just picked up some tomatoes and peanuts to give them some face and put down their chopsticks.
Chu Yang didn't eat much either. He seemed to have no appetite. There was no difference between eating steamed bread and meat to him.
He is now a qualified good brother. He has long hands and chopsticks, and he is responsible for picking up the dishes that Chuyun cannot reach.
"Brother, I want to eat beans."
Chu Yang was about to pick up some beans when he heard it, but Lu Ting picked up some beans faster and put them into Chu Yun's bowl.
Chu Yun saw Chu Yang's face beside him suddenly darken, as cold as the frozen lake.
"Thank you...thank you, Brother Lu Ting."
Lu Ting didn't look at Chu Yun. When he heard the person next to him thank him, he lowered his head to look at the bowl and nodded.
After thanking him, Chu Yun turned his head away. Chu Yang was inevitably embarrassed because he was interrupted. He could only pick up something with his chopsticks and put it into Chu Yang's bowl.
The early sun brought back spring in an instant.
He looked down and saw Chu Yun picking up a fish head for him.
——Chuyang hates eating fish the most.
Chu Yun also realized it and wanted to pick out the fish head for Chu Yang immediately, but Chu Yang stopped him.
He lowered his head and ate bit by bit.
This was served to him by his younger brother. It was the first time he had served food to him.
After dinner, they sat for a while and then went home. They took Lu Ting's family car. Xiao Li drove them back. Wang Guilan did not go with them because there was not enough space in the car.
"Xiao Ting, if you have any problems, just tell your Aunt Fang. We are all family."
Lu Ting nodded while sitting in the back seat.
Chu Yun was still sitting in the middle. The little incident of picking up food made Chu Yang full of hostility towards Lu Ting, so he could only sit in the middle to ease the situation.
Wang Guifang sat in the front, holding the seat belt tightly in her hands. She was scared of this car that was faster than an ox cart or a donkey cart.
Xiao Li drove very slowly and considerately, but Wang Guifang still got carsick.
It is inevitable for people who take a car for the first time to get carsick. Chuyang next to me also had a pale face and looked uncomfortable.
Chu Yun took out a sour apricot from his pocket, broke it in half and gave half to Wang Guifang and Chu Yang.
Eating something sour will make it less uncomfortable.
"Brother, give it to you, eat it."
Chu Yang turned his head away and refused to eat. He was sometimes very stubborn and would not eat except at mealtimes.
He didn't eat the chocolate he had just shared at grandma's house, and put it in Chuyun's pocket, but he ate the candy triangle that Chuyun had bitten.
"Brother, eat quickly, and you won't feel uncomfortable after eating."
Lu Ting agreed with Chu Yun and said, "Eating something sour will indeed help."
Chu Yun fed the apricot directly to Chu Yang's mouth. You have to be tough with such stubborn people.
Chu Yang really lowered his head and ate.
Chu Yun thought of Shen. Shen was very similar to Chu Yang in some ways. He didn't eat anything except small fish and shrimps. If he was fed a durian, he had to soak it in water for a long time. He just had to feed him more.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Um."
Chu Yun sat up straight and looked at the road ahead. Suddenly, his shoulders sank and Chu Yang's head leaned forward.
He was pale, pursing his lips and looking very uncomfortable. Chu Yun felt that Chu Yang must be in extreme pain, so he stayed still and let him lean on him comfortably.
Lu Ting felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Chu Yang leaning on Chu Yun, but he didn't know where this discomfort came from. Isn't it natural for brothers to have a good relationship?
Lu Ting felt that his emotions were inexplicable. He turned his head to look out the window and stopped observing Chu Yun.
We'll be home soon.
Wang Guifang rubbed her head, got out of the car and took a deep breath of air. The air outside was a mixture of grass and soil, and occasionally the smell of sheep poop, which smelled particularly soothing.
"I'm not lucky enough to own this car. I almost lost my life!"
Xiao Li didn't say much, and Xiaoxiao went to the trunk to get something, which was Lu Ting's luggage and gifts.
"This is given to your family by your wife. She said it's not good to give it in front of your own brother, so you must accept it."
As soon as Wang Guifang saw those things, she waved her hands and said,
"How can this be? What are you giving to a child who comes to play at home? Take it back! Take it back! Let Big Sister keep it for herself!"
The two of them refused for a long time but Wang Guifang finally accepted it. There were quite a few villagers who came out to see the car.
Xiao Li drove away, and Wang Guifang asked Chuyang and Chuyun to help Lu Ting move the luggage into the house.
Lu Ting didn't have much luggage, just a suitcase with a few summer clothes and other miscellaneous items in it.
Lu Ting can carry it by himself.
Chu Yang felt uncomfortable and didn't say anything. Chu Yun acted as a guide, taking Lu Ting into the house and introducing the room to Lu Ting.
Actually, there is no need for introduction. It is obvious at a glance that there is only a kang, a desk, and a large cabinet against the wall in the room. The cabinet is filled with thick quilts and thick clothes that are stored for winter.
Chu Daqiang also woke up at this time. He came back from work at noon, had a quick bite and fell asleep.
I was woken up by Wang Guifang who came back.
After saying hello to Lu Ting, he started to clean up and prepare to go back to breaking corn. This time, Chu Yang and Chu Yun were not asked to accompany Lu Ting.
Wang Guifang had already washed a thin quilt and made a new pillow for Lu Ting.
Lu Ting looked around. Although the house was shabby, it looked very clean inside and out. Even the chickens and ducks outside were well-raised and did not have a strong odor. There was also a bathroom enclosed by iron sheets in the yard. This was a family that paid attention to quality.
In fact, Wang Guifang had already ordered the whole family to do a thorough cleaning. If Chu Yun hadn't come over, Lu Ting would have seen the patinated quilt on the first day and would probably have turned around and left.
"Xiao Ting, just cover yourself with this quilt. It's clean and washed. I don't care how you three divide up the kang. Can we have dumplings tonight?"
Lu Ting knew that dumplings were already a luxury for this family, so he answered seriously:
"It's too much trouble. I'm not picky. I'll eat anything."
It’s too early to cook now because the weather is too hot. There is a wall clock in the main room and the hour hand points to two.
It was already two o'clock. Chu Yun had been taking a nap every day since he came here. This time he had exceeded the time limit and he couldn't help yawning.
Wang Guifang saw it and said:
"If you're tired, go to bed. All three of you take off your shoes and go to bed on the kang. Young men, you need to sleep more and eat more so that you can grow taller. Go!"
Wang Guifang urged the three of them to sleep.
Chu Yun didn't know where to sleep, Chu Yang didn't want to sleep next to Lu Ting, and Lu Ting seemed to have no objection but was actually looking at Chu Yun's spot by the wall.
Chu Yun had no choice but to move. He slept in the middle, while Lu Ting and Chu Yang still slept on his left and right as usual.
Chuyun sleeps very well, and his eyelids start to close as soon as he lies down.
Lu Ting smelled the scent of laundry detergent on the pillow, which was cheap but warm. He also caught the scent of Chu Yun not far away. The perfumes sprayed by the girls in his class combined were not as good as the scent of Chu Yun.
Chu Yun closed his eyes and started snoring after a while. Lu Ting felt a little sleepy, but he didn't want to close his eyes, so he just kept watching.
