Chapter 15: Their Achilles' heel
After enjoying the dinner made by Chu Xinrui, which was full of the taste of home and love, Luo Xiaran finally slept soundly in her room. When she woke up the next day, Luo Zhaoxian and Cui Jiu had already left the old house, taking the bodyguards who were guarding the surrounding area with them.
On the table was warm preserved egg and lean meat porridge, as well as sweet corn cakes. Although they were very ordinary, Luo Xiaran was very satisfied with them. After all, there would be no time to eat breakfast leisurely in a few days.
After taking the tableware back to the kitchen, she saw Chu Xinrui busy in front of the stove. Perhaps because Luo Zhaoxian and Chu Xinrui had discussed it, Chu Xinrui had already made two large baskets of corn cakes in the morning.
"Mom, do you need my help?" Luo Xiaran used to be quite knowledgeable in cooking for Wu Yan'an, and now it was just making some dry food, which was of course not a problem.
"No, Mom can handle it alone, baby, go play with your own things, or if you want to buy anything, call Dad and let him buy it for you." Chu Xinrui raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and smiled gently.
Although her husband told her a very bad news at night, as long as their family was together and Luo Xiaran was fine, she didn't have anything to worry about.
In Chu Xinrui's heart, Luo Zhaoxian has always been a very strong man, so even if the world is changing, she doesn't need to change anything, just being a woman who silently supports him behind the scenes is enough.
"Okay, I'll go around the village, and Mommy, call me if you have anything." Luo Xiaran saw that Chu Xinrui didn't want her to check, so she smiled helplessly.
Although she is no longer in the age of being coquettish, facing Chu Xinrui's doting look, Luo Xiaran still has no resistance at all. Sure enough, whether it is to Luo Zhaoxian or to her, Chu Xinrui is their soft spot.
Carrying a mobile phone, taking the money, locking the door of the old house, Luo Xiaran walked into the village. Because the Luo family's old house covers a large area, it is still a little distance away from the village.
Luo Xiaran went to the village this time to buy some poultry and eggs. Compared with the farmed poultry sold in the agricultural market, the free-range poultry in the countryside tastes more delicious.
Speaking of this, Luo Xiaran also slightly missed the poultry raised in ancient times. Even without modern seasonings, the stew alone is enough to make people aftertaste endlessly.
Because the Luo family would return to the old house to live for a few days every six months, although they were not very familiar with the people in the village, they could still be recognized when they met. It's just that because of the long time, Luo Xiaran had forgotten these people a long time ago.
"Hey, isn't this the girl from the old family? When did you come back?" An old lady who was washing clothes by the river saw Luo Xiaran and said loudly with wrinkles on her face.
"I'm washing clothes. I came back last night." Luo Xiaran smiled back and then continued, "I'm going to stay here for a few days. Who in the village sells chickens, ducks and eggs? I haven't eaten meat in the village for so long, and I'm a little anxious."
"Of course, things in the city are not as delicious as those grown here. You walk around the village, and the noisiest house is that one. If you buy a lot, don't forget to ask them to send it back for you." The old lady said as if it was a matter of course.
In the past, Cui Jiu would buy the vegetables, clean them up, and then send them to the market for Luo Xiaran's family. Everyone in the village knew about it, so there was no need to doubt it. After Luo Xiaran thanked him, he continued to walk slowly into the village, occasionally picking up vegetables from other people's vegetable gardens and taking the opportunity to receive them in the system.
