Chapter 28 Cherish (2/2)



Xu Ningjun slowly averted his gaze, and it took him a long time to realize that he was blushing.

She pursed her lips, moved closer to him, and lay on the table.

She planned to make臊子面 in the evening. She cut the potatoes and carrots into small square pieces and stir-fried them with pork.

One ounce of soybean paste, one ounce of light and dark soy sauce, half an ounce of sugar, and two or three scoops of water, boil them to make the topping.

The fragrance could be smelled from ten miles away, and everyone came out to take a look.

Seeing the aroma of meat coming from Xu Zhiqing's house, he was not surprised. "Why does Xu Zhiqing eat meat every day?"

"Send some money home. Wu Xiaoqian and her blind mother are so lucky. The educated youth who lives next door to us stares blankly in the sky and doesn't pay any attention to us."

"Oh, same as before."

The two of them lamented that they had not been able to draw the lottery and stay with Xu Ningjun, and then went back to eat.

If you smell this aroma again, you won’t be able to eat homemade rice.

Cheng Chuan didn't know much about pulling noodles. White flour was a rare commodity and no one was willing to eat it like that. They only made white flour during festivals.

After Xu Ningjun came, he made up for all the food he had not eaten for decades.

He put the noodles in his hand into the boiling water and sprinkled a handful of salt on them.

After cooking, rinse in cold water.

The noodles are more chewy and elastic. Put them in a bowl and scoop some toppings on them.

The fragrant noodles were out of the oven just as Wu Xiaoying and Zhou Guozheng arrived.

One of the piglets was feeling unwell today, and Zhou Guozheng was busy for quite some time. "I can smell the aroma of feces from far away. What are we eating today?"

He walked in and saw Cheng Chuan carrying the bowl and chopsticks and putting them on the table. The smile on Zhou Guozheng's face faded.

"Cheng Chuan is here too, come and sit down."

Zhou Guozheng, like the master of the house, picked up the chopsticks familiarly and took the first bite. "Wow! It smells delicious! Xu Zhiqing's cooking skills have improved rapidly. You should thank Xiaoqian and me for giving you the opportunity to practice."

Wu Xiaoqian was too busy slurping her noodles to speak. They were so delicious! She had never eaten anything so delicious in her life!

Cheng Chuan didn't say anything and ate his food quietly.

She seems to cook for them every day. Does she also ask Zhou Guozheng to wash and cut vegetables?

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhou Guozheng continued eating.

He took off his glasses to prevent them from fogging up and obscuring his vision.

The eating appearance is elegant and there is no slurping sound when eating noodles.

There was a sharp contrast between me and Wu Xiaoqi who was wolfing down the food beside me. It was like you despised me and I despised you.

Xu Ningjun smiled, took a few more bites, and looked at the half bowl left in confusion.

"I can't eat anymore. You must not be full."

As she spoke, she poured the contents of her bowl into Cheng Chuan's bowl. Cheng Chuan didn't react in any other way and ate it naturally.

Wu Xiaoyan, on the other hand, looked to his left, as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat.

After the meal, Cheng Chuan washed the dishes and Xu Ningjun came over to accompany him.

He moved a stool and sat next to her, "Chuanchuan."

"Um?"

She didn't say anything for a long time, then called him again.

"Kawakawa."

"Um?"

Xu Ningjun just suddenly didn't want him to leave, Qian Meixiang's place was not his home.

But then he thought that Wu Xiaoqi's family didn't have an extra room to accommodate him, so he had to give up the idea.

"I'm going to sleep, please be careful."

"Um."

After cleaning up, Cheng Chuan hesitated for a moment and still didn't say anything to Xu Ningjun.

"Hey, you came so late. Does that Tian guy really like you?"

Qian Meixiang was in a rare good mood today. Yuanshan had been in close contact with the educated youth named Wang recently.

Although Wang Zhiqing's family was not as well off as Xu Zhiqing's, she was still an educated youth and was richer than the other women in the village. She had more assets to show off.

"Xu Ningjun has a new lover, Zhou Zhiqing, so he's probably too lazy to bother with you. As a second choice, Tian Aiping isn't bad. If you get married, there will be more people to serve us."

Cheng Chuan didn't say anything. Qian Meixiang tacitly agreed that he had given up. "People of your class think what they want. As your aunt, I'm trying to persuade you. Xu Ningjun doesn't even like Yuanshan, so how could he like you? How pitiful."
