Chapter 5024: Reminiscing about the past, time flies by so fast
At around 4 p.m., Lu Xiaoxiao saw that it was time to cook dinner. She put down the melon seeds she had not finished eating and asked Liu Ermei, "What do you want to eat for dinner? I'll make it."
"It's all right. How about we eat sweet potato grits porridge? I remember that was the first meal I had at your house, but we were still living in Tianshui Village at that time."
"It seems so. Time flies so fast. It feels like six or seven years have passed in the blink of an eye."
"Who said it wasn't? I remember you were only eight years old when you first arrived in Sweetwater Village, right?"
"Well, I was only eight years old."
"So why did you go to the countryside to become an educated youth at such a young age? I've wanted to ask you this question for a long time."
"I don't know. Maybe I couldn't accept my parents' sacrifice, so I wanted to move away from the city where I lived with them."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ermei immediately regretted asking this question, because she didn't expect that this question would bring up Lu Xiaoxiao's sad past.
So she reached out and put her arm around Lu Xiaoxiao's shoulders, and said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "You will have me and Yuanyuan to accompany you in the future. Although we can't replace the position of your parents in your hearts, we will not let you feel lonely."
"I understand. You don't have to feel sorry because I have let it go. Otherwise, I wouldn't have returned to Beijing to live."
"That's great, I'll make dinner with you."
After hearing what Liu Ermei said, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, and then she went to the kitchen with Liu Ermei to cook dinner.
"Wow, what's that smell? Why is it so fragrant?" Scorpion smelled a scent of oil as soon as he entered the living room, and he couldn't help but ask.
After hearing what Scorpion said, Lu Xiaoxiao walked out of the kitchen while eating fried meatballs. Then she saw Zhang Xu and the other three walking towards the kitchen. She asked them, "Why are you here?"
"We came to eat at home."
"Oh, then go and wait at the dining table. You'll be eating soon."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, although Scorpion was very greedy for the fried meatballs in Lu Xiaoxiao's hand, he still obediently walked towards the dining table with Zhang Xu and the others.
Because he knew that in this family, Lu Xiaoxiao's words were the final word, and even Zhang Xu did not dare to disobey Lu Xiaoxiao, so as Zhang Xu's subordinate, he dared not disobey Lu Xiaoxiao even more.
Otherwise, let alone making fried meatballs, he might not even be able to make a smidgen in the end. This was the bloody lesson he learned from the monkey, so he would not make the same mistake as the monkey.
"Who's here?" Liu Ermei asked Lu Xiaoxiao when Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the kitchen.
"My brother and Scorpion, luckily we cooked a big pot of sweet potato grits porridge tonight, otherwise they would have nothing to eat even if they came."
"Then serve the porridge out for them to eat."
"No hurry, wait until the meatballs are fried."
"It's just the last pot left. Go wash some cabbage and bring it here. I'm going to use it to collect the oil in the pot later."
"Okay." After saying that, Lu Xiaoxiao went to wash the cabbage.
After she washed the cabbage and saw Liu Ermei had finished frying the last pot of meatballs, she said to Liu Ermei, "I'll serve the porridge first, you take your time to fry the cabbage, don't be in a hurry."
"Okay." After Liu Ermei finished speaking, she poured the oil in the pot into the ceramic basin containing oil, and then she began to fry the cabbage.
After she finished frying the cabbage, she saw Lu Xiaoxiao coming back after delivering the rice porridge. She said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I have finished frying the cabbage. We can go out for dinner."
"Okay, I'll take the meatballs out first, and you can take the cabbage."
"No problem, I'll be right out after I wash the pot."
After hearing what Liu Ermei said, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, then she walked out of the kitchen with the meatballs.
