Grandma Zhu has not appeared since that day, and Erhua temporarily let down his guard against the outside world.
The main issue that needs to be resolved now is the internal one, which is also the key issue: Luo Zhen’s polite but distant attitude.
In the morning, Erhua got up early, cooked porridge, fried eggs, and placed them neatly on the table. Luo Zhen could eat as soon as she sat down at the table.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Erhua, you can eat too."
At noon, Aunt Sun cooked the meal and Erhua rushed to the front to serve the rice and make soup, almost feeding it to Luo Zhen.
Luo Zhen drank the soup slowly, not too salty or too bland, saying, "This soup is really delicious. Erhua, don't just focus on me, drink some too."
In the evening, after dinner, Erhua moved the rattan chair to the yard and Luo Zhen sat on it to enjoy the cool air. He used a large palm-leaf fan to drive away mosquitoes for her.
Seeing that he was sweating from working so hard, Luo Zhen said apologetically, "Stop fanning me. Look at you. You've wasted your time bathing."
It’s not that Luo Zhen didn’t see what Erhua did. She thanked him and apologized, but she didn’t say anything else.
Even though Erhua was thick-skinned, he was still able to be poked through a hole.
At this moment, a mosquito was hovering around Erhua's feet. He took a palm-leaf fan and slapped it on his legs a few times. Although it didn't kill the mosquito, it at least gave it a concussion.
It's finally quiet.
Erhua was impressed by Luo Zhen's attentiveness and Tang Sannan's kindness, but Nannan didn't agree, so he didn't want to make a decision on his own.
Once, when Erhua was out, Tang Sannan couldn't help but ask, "Nannan, I see Erhua has been taking good care of you recently. Did he say anything to you?"
There was an unintentional smile on Luo Zhen's face, and there seemed to be a little pride between his curved eyebrows.
But she really didn't seem to care. As she spoke, she picked up her braids and pinched the split ends of her hair one by one.
"What are you talking about? I didn't say anything." Luo Zhen gently threw her braid over her shoulder. "Erhua also takes care of Dad and Aunt Sun."
"That's different." Seeing Nannan refused to give in, Tang Sannan became anxious and asked again, "Can't you even tell Dad what's really in your heart?
Nannan, you are not a child anymore, you have to understand our situation clearly.
If you really don't mean it, I'll go ask Granny Zhu for help!"
Luo Zhen pouted and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Let's wait a little longer with Granny Zhu."
Tang Sannan was stunned at first, thinking about Nannan's words, then he touched his stubble with a smile.
"Okay, okay, take it slow for a while, take it slow for a while, I'll listen to you."
"Dad, come here."
Tang Sannan leaned over, and Luo Zhen whispered a few words mysteriously in his ear. He looked at Nannan and nodded continuously.
The next morning, the family had breakfast together.
Erhua specially cut some pickles, stir-fried them with shredded pork, and poured them over the cooked noodles.
Luo Zhen likes to eat thin noodles, and there are only dry thin noodles at home. Eating pickled vegetable and shredded pork noodles in the morning is very refreshing and whets her appetite.
Tang Sannan finished half a bowl of noodles in a few bites, then picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup. While eating, he did not forget to glance at Luo Zhen and Erhua.
"Ahem." He put down the bowl, cleared his throat, and said, "Luo Zhen, I ran into Grandma Zhu yesterday, and she said there's going to be something good this time."
Seeing Luo Zhen nodding and listening, he spoke again:
"The young man is in good health in every way. Grandma Zhu told him about our situation and he didn't mind."
At this moment, Erhua had finished all the noodles and soup in the bowl, but his hands were still holding it, completely forgetting what to do next.
Luo Zhen picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and chewed it slowly. Erhua felt that what she was chewing in her mouth was not noodles, but the rest of her life!
"I……"
"Senior Sister——"
Erhua rushed to speak, with a long trailing syllable, his tone full of helplessness and regret.
"Don't look for Grandma Zhu..."
He didn't dare look into Luo Zhen's eyes. This was not a request, it was a plea.
He, Liang Erhua, has been in the business for more than ten years, but now his heart is being pinched by a little mermaid. If she exerts a little force, his worthless sincerity will be shattered.
He felt his eyes getting hotter and hotter, a feeling he hadn't felt in years. Even if his father chopped off his fingers, he would just grit his teeth and his eyes would turn red.
Before Luo Zhen could answer, Erhua stood up and went to work in the yard. He had never been so timid in his life!
In the next few days, Erhua was still busy taking care of Luo Zhen and carving wood seriously. At present, his skills were not good enough, so his master only gave him ordinary wood to practice, and he didn't feel sorry even if he made a mistake.
The last time the master mentioned Grandma Zhu, it was like a needle hanging on his heart. He always felt that Grandma Zhu might come one day and bring good news about that "extraordinary good young man".
But he didn't know the exact day and time when Grandma Zhu would come. This sense of crisis made him feel uneasy, and he didn't know when the needle in his heart would suddenly pierce his heart.
He accepted Luo Zhen's attitude completely. He had wronged her first, so he had nothing to say even if she hit him hard with a carrying pole.
But she refused to do so. It was like a needle hidden in cotton. The more anxious and forceful you were, the more painful it would be.
Erhua only now got to know the real Luo Zhen. She was not a weak and submissive person. Before, when she had Erhua in her eyes and heart, she was obedient and lovely.
But if you bully her, she will let you know that she can't forgive you just by giving you a piece of candy.
The more he got to know Luo Zhen, the more Erhua liked her and the more he felt that he was not worthy of her.
He has been obsessed with it lately. If a young man comes to his house, no matter what he does, he has to be extremely alert.
It was very hot outside in the afternoon and everyone stayed indoors, only a few young children were still wandering around outside.
