The group returned home and slept soundly until the sun went down. When He Caiwei woke up, she looked at the dark sky outside and had no idea how long she had slept.
Coming downstairs, I found my family was already there: "Uncle, Aunt, what time is it? Why are you back so early today?"
Upon hearing her niece's words, Wu Meifang paused for a moment, then clutched her stomach and burst into laughter.
Uncle Lu smiled as he looked at his little niece: "Weiwei, it's already past 9 p.m., are you still half asleep?"
"Oh, is it past 9 o'clock? I've been sleeping for days, I'm a little groggy." He Caiwei was genuinely groggy.
“You’ve been sleeping for two days now, almost forty hours since you got off the train,” Uncle Lu said with a smile.
"Oh, no wonder my head feels a bit heavy, I've been sleeping for so long! Auntie, I'm hungry." He Caiwei sat down on the sofa, holding her forehead, and cuddled her aunt's hand affectionately.
"Sweetie, I've kept some chicken soup warm on the stove in the kitchen for you. Go wash up first, and I'll make you some chicken noodle soup." Wu Meifang reached out and rubbed his head, preparing to make a bowl of noodles for her little niece first.
"Too oily, I can't eat it." He Caiwei felt a bit greasy just thinking about chicken noodle soup.
"No, Auntie skimmed off all the oil. It's light and refreshing. I even left you some bok choy. Just wait here patiently, it'll be ready soon." Wu Meifang, having lived with her niece for a long time, knew that her niece didn't like greasy food, especially fatty meat.
The big, fatty meat that all those women are scrambling for is now being snatched up by this little niece, who looks at it with obvious disdain.
"Mm." He Caiwei nodded and smiled as she shook her aunt's hand.
Lu Qingzhu rolled her eyes at her: "Weiwei, I've discovered you're even better at being coquettish than Qingyue." Look how you've tamed my old mother, this big tiger, into being obedient and docile. Of course, Lu Qingzhu only dared to think the latter part in her own mind.
The main thing is that he dared to say it out loud. He guaranteed that he would definitely have bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork tonight, because his mother is very fierce.
"Hmph, if you're not convinced, go and see for yourself." He Caiwei rolled her eyes at him, and her words made Uncle Lu laugh.
If this guy were to try to act cute, he wouldn't get a big bowl of chicken noodle soup, but rather a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, because it would disgust his mother.
"Hey, why can't your little sister show me any more pity! If I dare to act cute, my mother will chase me down two blocks, you believe me?"
As soon as Lu Qingzhu said this, even little Lu Qingyue laughed so hard she rolled around on the sofa.
The fragrant chicken noodle soup was served, making everyone in the house drool.
"Mom, I want to eat too." Lu Qingyue slurped her saliva as she looked at the noodles.
"Feel your stomach and see if it can still hold anything. You can only eat as much as your stomach can hold. Don't you even consider your appetite? Be careful not to burst your little belly." Wu Meifang was a little helpless. This little girl didn't even look at her stomach. Was it already bulging?
Everyone ate chicken noodle soup tonight, and this little girl ate a whole bowl by herself. Now she even wants to eat more, isn't she afraid of bursting her stomach?
Lu Qingyue touched her stomach. Although she was a little unwilling, she was really full. But the chicken noodle soup smelled so good that she couldn't give up.
Uncle Lu had no choice but to grab the man by the collar and lead him out, saying that they were going out to digest their food and that he would be back in a little while, and if his stomach was still big enough, they could eat again.
As soon as the little girl heard that she could eat more, she immediately followed her father out for a stroll.
"Auntie, have you eaten yet? Would you like some more?" He Caiwei looked at the large bowl of noodles, feeling a real headache coming on.
His aunt must have thought he was very hungry, because she made him such a big bowl.
"I've eaten, I've eaten. You eat quickly. If you really can't finish, then give it to Afeng. I'm going upstairs to take a shower first. Boss, after Weiwei finishes eating, you can wash the dishes."
He Caiwei looked at her aunt with a serious expression. Who would let their son eat someone else's leftovers? But Wu Meifang didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. After saying that, she went straight back to her room.
He Caiwei was quite helpless, so she had to go to the kitchen herself and get another small bowl. She used the small bowl to divide the food and let Lu Qingfeng eat what she left over, because she felt she couldn't do it.
Lu Qingzhu was quite sensible; after her mother left, she also left, leaving only Lu Qingfeng and He Caiwei in the living room.
"If you want noodles, come over here. Why are you staring at me like that?" He Caiwei glared at Lu Qingfeng.
"It's okay, I've already eaten. You eat. If you can't finish, give me the rest. Hurry up and eat. You haven't eaten for two days, you must be hungry." Lu Qingfeng snatched the chopsticks from her hand and then picked up some noodles and stuffed them into her mouth.
"Stop it, I'll eat by myself." He Caiwei tried to snatch her chopsticks back, but she dodged them and had her mouth stuffed with noodles.
"Sweetie, I'll feed you. I'm taking the train to Guangcheng the day after tomorrow. I originally applied to stay with my uncle, but things are really chaotic there now, so my dad arranged for me to stay in Guangcheng. You just focus on your studies, and I'll bring you some good food when you come back for the holidays." Lu Qingfeng said as he fed him noodles, explaining his future plans.
"Guangcheng is actually quite nice, and it's not far from my home, so you can visit me when you have a day or two off." Guangcheng is only seven hours away from Pengcheng by train, and only four hours by car.
“The National Day holiday is in a few days. Why don’t you wait until after the holiday to go to school? You can come with me tomorrow and go back to visit her.” Lu Qingfeng suggested that he go home, since his uncle and aunt would definitely be worried about her all summer.
"No, I'll go back during winter break. I'm afraid I won't be able to stand the long train journey, and the smell on trains these days is too strong." He Caiwei really didn't want to waste four days on the train.
“Your uncle and his family should be coming here to celebrate the New Year this year, so you don’t even need to go back.” Lu Qingfeng remembered that his uncle had said that he would go back to Kyoto for the New Year after his aunt gave birth to his younger brother and sister.
"That's great! I won't have to endure those weird smells on the train anymore. You know, every time I take the train, it feels like an eternity, especially when I need to use the toilet. It's unbearable." He Caiwei particularly dislikes the toilets on trains, but it's impossible for her to go for days without using the toilet. Now, she has to endure the smell every time she takes the train, and her sense of smell is almost gone.
"If we can find some free time, we can drive, so we can find a place to settle down at night and not have to sleep on the train or use the train's toilet." Lu Qingfeng was quite familiar with this girl's spoiled nature, so he wasn't surprised at all that she said such a thing.
