Grandma Wei wiped away her tears and carefully gave Wei He her instructions.
Wei He nodded, his heart also pounding.
When he was at Lin Chaosheng's house, he was always taken up the mountain to hunt or go fishing at sea. Not only did he always get a lot of the catch, but he also received delicious food and drinks from his family every day.
Now he even uses his prize money to buy things for them.
Moreover, Wei He didn't contribute a single bit in this fight against the black bear!
Thinking of this, Wei He felt a pang of guilt.
So he secretly made up his mind that he would serve Lin Chaosheng's family like a slave from now on.
Over at the Lin family's house, Zhao Shufang was chopping vegetables to make braised dishes. Thinking about all the things she had bought that day, she couldn't help but hum a happy tune.
The fresh, green vegetables were neatly arranged in a basin by Zhao Shufang, and several large bowls contained the shredded meat she had just marinated.
"Old woman, shall we do it now?" Lin Shanhai asked.
Zhao Shufang glanced outside the kitchen and nodded. "Go ahead and do it. Let them eat early today and get a good nap at noon. They haven't had a proper rest in so long."
So she heated the oil in a wok and began preparing the topping.
The shredded meat sizzled and crackled as it was sizzled in the hot oil, releasing the unique aroma of Zhao Shufang's marinade. Everyone pricked up their noses and sniffed carefully.
Soon, the shredded pork was cooked. After Zhao Shufang scooped the shredded pork out, she immediately put the green peppers into the pot.
The oil, which had just been infused with the meat juices, was then used to blanch the green peppers, instantly releasing an irresistible spicy and savory flavor.
Everyone sat anxiously in the courtyard, eager to get around the pot and start eating right away.
Zhao Shufang added the shredded pork and stir-fried it with the green peppers, and then prepared a sauce to thicken it.
On the other side, Liang Fu had already cooked the noodles and was putting the chewy noodles into the freshly drawn well water to cool them down.
Then he scooped them out one by one and portioned them out, shouting to the anxious people waiting in the yard, "Come on, the topping for the shredded pork with green peppers is ready!"
Lin Shansheng rushed into the kitchen like an arrow, scooped a large spoonful of topping into the noodles, and quickly stirred it.
"Slurp—" Lin Shan took a big slurp, stomped his feet because it was so hot, and stir-fried the noodles in his mouth again.
"Oh my god! Spit it back up!" Zhao Shufang urged quickly upon seeing this.
Then she had Liang Fu bring Lin Shansheng a glass of cold water and scolded him, "Damn it, are you in such a hurry to be reborn after you finish this meal? You'll be scalded to death."
Lin Shansheng put down his chopsticks, took the cold water, and gulped down a big mouthful. He said shyly, "Oh, Mom, why does this smell so good!"
Zhao Shufang felt both distressed and happy. She clicked her tongue and started preparing the sauce for the stir-fried pickled cabbage and pork.
Zhao Shufang skillfully wielded the spatula, and soon the food was ready. Then she hurriedly went out to help the three elderly women who were outside frying the workers' sauce.
Seeing this, Liang Fu quickly went out to help, "Auntie, you go eat first, I'm not hungry yet, I'll go cook something!"
Zhao Shufang would never let Liang Fu help her, so she quickly made an excuse and said, "It's okay, go and call your sister to get up for dinner."
"They're still waiting for me. My brother-in-law went in a long time ago," Liang Fu said helplessly, spreading her hands.
Inside the room, Liang Mei, who was pregnant, had not been woken up and was sleeping soundly like a baby, her breathing rising and falling gently.
Seeing this, Lin Chaosheng couldn't bear to wake her. Looking at Liang Mei's slightly rounded cheeks, which were rosy, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.
In her previous life, Liang Mei died with sunken cheeks, pale lips, and a frail, skeletal appearance.
In this life, Liang Mei finally gained some weight thanks to Lin Chaosheng's feeding, and her complexion became rosy.
Looking at Liang Mei's slightly protruding belly, Lin Chaosheng still felt it wasn't enough. He felt that Liang Mei was still pregnant, and such care couldn't guarantee her health.
He sighed softly, twirling his fingers through Liang Mei's hair, pondering whether he should go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to buy some more supplements specifically for pregnant women.
As Lin Chaosheng was thinking, Liang Mei sensed someone beside her and slowly opened her eyes.
"What's wrong, Chaosheng?" Liang Mei rubbed her eyes, wanting to sit up and see what had happened.
Lin Chaosheng gently pushed her back onto the bed, pecked her pink lips, and said with a smile, "Little lazy cat, you're finally awake! All that noise outside couldn't wake you."
Liang Mei blushed slightly, and looked at Lin Chaosheng with sleepy eyes, smiling apologetically, "Don't laugh at me, this little kid always makes me feel sleepy, I can't help it."
Lin Chaosheng saw Liang Mei's lowered eyes and her thick, dark eyelashes blinking awkwardly. He couldn't help but kiss her forehead again.
"Hey, stop kissing me! What's going on outside?" Liang Mei pushed Lin Chaosheng away shyly, but was then pulled into his arms.
"Nothing's wrong. I just called you over for dinner. If you're still sleepy, go back to sleep for a while." Lin Chaosheng hugged Liang Mei and showered her face with kisses.
"Chaosheng, come and eat quickly! Otherwise, these noodles will get soggy!" Lin Shanhai thought something had happened when he saw that Lin Chaosheng hadn't come out yet.
When Lin Chaosheng heard Lin Shanhai calling him, he had no choice but to stop his light kiss and reply, "Okay, I'll be right there!"
Then he turned around and gave Liang Mei a big kiss on the lips, "Let's go, let's go eat noodles!"
Liang Mei was so dizzy from the kisses that she put on her shoes in a daze and was helped out by Lin Chaosheng.
"Do you prefer pickled cabbage or green peppers?" Lin Chaosheng asked.
Liang Mei looked at the tempting color of the topping, pointed to the shredded pork with green peppers, and said, "I want this."
So Lin Chaosheng scooped two large spoonfuls onto Liang Mei's noodles, stirred them well, and handed them to her.
Su Hang watched their intimate actions from the side, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
But reason told her that she shouldn't have any ulterior motives towards Lin Chaosheng, after all, Sister Mei was such a good person.
As she pondered this, she slowed down her eating pace, feeling troubled.
Zhao Shufang noticed Su Hang and assumed she wasn't used to the food, so she asked with concern, "What's wrong, Xiao Hang? Is it not to your liking?"
Upon hearing this, Su Hang hurriedly shoveled noodles into his mouth, exclaiming, "It's delicious! I was just spacing out!"
Then he finished the noodles in no time, wiped his mouth, and said, "I'll go help Aunt Zhang and the others now!"
Then she quickly left the place that made her feel uncomfortable.
Soon, the workers arrived at the Lin family's door and lined up in an orderly queue.
Su Hang skillfully helped pack the noodles, and the busyness quickly made her forget her sadness.
After having eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Chaosheng and the others prepared to clean up the dishes and then go back to their rooms to rest.
Seeing Lin Chaosheng's back, Liang Mei was still worried and hurriedly told him to go to the clinic to get another dose of medicine.
Lin Chaosheng was no match for Liang Mei. After washing the dishes, he wiped his hands on his buttocks, untied the donkey cart, and prepared to go to the clinic.
“Hey, wait a minute,” Liang Mei suddenly stopped Lin Chaosheng, who was about to leave, “I’ll go with you, anyway I have nothing to do at home.”
