Chapter 371 The Oil Bottle Under the Bed
Lu Qing had a sprained waist and was unable to move.
Mo Taining was busy with research and could not take care of his wife.
At Lu Qing's strong suggestion, he let Lu Peng live in his home.
Lu Peng took good care of Lu Qing.
He massaged Lu Qing in the morning before going to class.
He ran back during the break and helped Lu Qing to the toilet.
He went to the cafeteria to get food immediately after school.
He also got up several times at night to see if she needed water or toilet.
Lu Qing saw it and thought that her family still cared about her.
She decided that when she got better, she must let the old man accept Lu Peng as his apprentice.
...
Lü Peng moved into the Mo family. Huo Gaofei was bored living alone in the dormitory. After school, he asked Lu Changjie to go to the dormitory with him to do homework.
Huo Gaofei's quilt was piled up in a mess, while Lu Peng's quilt was neatly stacked.
Lu Changjie went over to help Huo Gaofei fold up the quilt, but Huo Gaofei stopped him, "We're going to sleep soon, no need to fold it."
Lu Changjie said, "Look at how neatly the monitor has made the bed. In contrast, if the teacher comes in and sees this, he will definitely criticize you."
Huo Gaofei said, "I'm a child and he's an adult. No one will say anything if a child doesn't fold up the quilt."
Lu Changjie smiled and said, "He's only 15 years old, not an adult."
Huo Gaofei held his chin and said, "But he does things almost like my dad."
"That's because he's sensible and hardworking. My two sisters are like this. They left home when they were young and started businesses. They're better than adults. But no matter how good they are, they still miss their parents and act coquettishly to them every time they call."
"That's why I said he is an adult. After you came to the institute, did you cry secretly at night?"
Lu Changjie shook his head: "No, but I missed my family very much."
"I missed my family too. After coming here, everyone in our class missed home. Many people cried secretly under the quilt at night.
I wrote letters to my family while crying, but Lu Peng acted as if nothing had happened. He cleaned the room, made the beds, and comforted his classmates. He was incompatible with us."
"Maybe it's because he is the oldest, so he has to act like an adult and take care of everyone?"
"He also sleeps very calmly at night. He hasn't written a letter home in such a long time since he came to the institute. Fu Xingchen said he is a child with an adult soul."
Fu Xingchen is a classmate in their class and is good at memory.
Lu Changjie finished his homework quickly, and the two agreed to go to the bathroom to take a shower together. Lu Changjie was waiting in the dormitory.
With nothing to do, Lu Changjie looked around the dormitory.
When Huo Gaofei was thinking about the question while biting the pen, another pen on the table fell down.
Gurgle, gurgle, and rolled under Lu Peng's bed.
Lu Changjie walked over to help him pick it up.
When he bent down and reached for the pen, Lu Changjie saw a bottle under the bed.
Curiosity prompted Lu Changjie to take out the bottle.
The bottle was filled with yellow liquid.
Lu Changjie opened the bottle cap and asked Huo Gaofei: "What is this?"
Huo Gaofei sniffed and said without looking up: "Soybean oil."
Thinking of Lu Qing falling at the doorstep and Lu Peng living in the Mo family, Huo Gaofei looked up at Lu Changjie in surprise.
"I know! The soybean oil I smelled at the doorstep of Professor Mo's house is this. In order to live in Professor Mo's house, Lu Peng poured oil at the doorstep of his house and let Grandma Lu fall, so that he can take care of her with a legitimate reason!"
Huo Gaohui clenched his fists and said angrily: "I never thought that in order to achieve his goal, he would frame his own aunt. Grandma Lu is old, what if she falls and gets hurt?
No, we have to tell Professor Mo!"
Huo Gaofei said and was about to rush out.
Lu Changjie stopped him: "Lu Peng not only wants to live in Professor Mo's house, but also wants to be Professor Mo's apprentice."
"Then you should tell Professor Mo that you can't accept a bad-hearted person as an apprentice!"
"We can't tell this to him, or he will frame you and say you are jealous of him."
The two discussed it and decided to tell Professor He about it.
...
After hearing the two children's narration, He Kang wanted to tell Mo Taining as soon as possible.
He was stopped by Qu Dan.
"We can't be sure that it was Lu Peng who did it without catching him in the act. He is also Lu Qing's nephew. Whether this is true or not, Lu Qing will not feel good."
He Kang said, "What should we do? We can't let Lao Mo be in the dark and accept this person with bad intentions as his apprentice."
Qu Dan said, "You can mention it in front of Lao Mo. Lao Mo is not stupid and will know what to do."
He Kang thought about it and said to Lu Changjie, "Go and tell Grandpa Mo that I have prepared good wine and food and invite him to play chess. After calling him, you can go out and play for a while and come back." After
Lu Changjie went out, He Kang asked Qu Dan to cut a small plate of the cooked food that Lu Changjie gave them.
Mo Taining came as expected when he heard that there was something delicious.
Qu Dan brought the braised beef and wine to the two.
Mo Taining's eyes lit up, recognizing that it was the braised beef he had eaten at Zhou Jianghai's house.
Guessing that it was brought by Lu Changjie, he said, "You give your little apprentice his braised beef, he won't cry, will he?"
He Kang said, "Changjie eats this every day at home, he doesn't care about it at all. When he just arrived at the institute, he gave all the food to us."
Mo Taining said, "You made a fortune by accepting this apprentice."
"You are not bad, you have a nephew by your side, he lives in your house, didn't he make delicious food for you?"
Mo Taining poured himself a glass of wine, picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth: "He is a boy, he can't cook."
"Oh? That's impossible, Gao Fei said there was half a bottle of soybean oil in his dormitory, I thought he secretly cooked for himself."
"Soybean oil?"
He Kang seemed to have not noticed Mo Taining's confusion and continued, "Let's eat quickly, or Gao Fei, the little glutton, will come here when he smells the food. He has a very keen sense of smell and can smell things from a long distance. He was the first to find out that soybean oil was sprinkled on your door."
After hearing what He Kang said, Mo Taining was a little absent-minded while playing chess. He went home after losing three games.
...
When he got home, Mo Taining saw Lu Peng washing his wife's feet.
Lu Peng looked up and asked, "Uncle, I boiled a pot of hot water, you can soak your feet there too."
Mo Taining said, "Lu Peng, let's have lunch at home tomorrow at noon."
Lu Qing said unhappily, "I'm in this condition, and you still want me to cook for you. Do you have a heart?"
Lu Peng said, "Uncle, if you don't like the food in the cafeteria, I will get up early tomorrow, buy some vegetables, and ask Grandma Qu to cook for you."
Mo Taining asked, "Can't you cook?"
Lu Peng wiped Lu Qing's feet and said, "I can't cook."
Mo Taining was silent for a moment and went into the study.
Lu Peng poured water in, and Lu Qing whispered: "Your uncle likes to eat fish, how about I teach you how to cook fish tomorrow, your uncle will be happy, maybe he will accept you as his apprentice."
Lu Peng said embarrassedly: "But I have never cooked at home."
