"Once, I saw that he came home very late, so I thought about cooking the meal in advance. But who would have thought that I didn't even know that I needed to add water when cooking! What's worse, I even mistakenly put wet firewood in to start the fire, causing everyone to mistakenly think that our kitchen was on fire!"
After hearing this, Long Xi showed a helpless expression on his face and looked at Luo Jiaojiao.
Although the final result was not satisfactory, her willingness to devote herself to the cause was already commendable.
Long Xi smiled and comforted him, "It's okay. I've done stupid things like cooking without water. Someone happened to come to see me at the time, and I got so busy that I completely forgot to add water. Since then, your Uncle Leng probably thought I really didn't know how to cook, so he never let me step into the kitchen again."
"He cares about you very much, and you are willing to stay with him, so we feel at ease." After hearing what Luo Jiaojiao said, Long Xi felt much more at ease.
Perhaps even Luo Jiaojiao herself did not realize that when she mentioned Leng Mohan, there was a gleam in her eyes, a light that was a heartfelt joy.
"Yeah, Brother Leng is very good to me. He even gave me his most precious jade pendant." The reason why this jade pendant is extremely precious is not because she really thinks it is valuable, but because she found it in an extremely hidden corner after a lot of effort when she was sorting out things.
In fact, Leng Mohan just placed the jade pendant casually. Since it was placed at a high position and he was worried that it would be accidentally broken, he placed it at the innermost part.
Leng Mohan had worn this jade pendant since he was a child, and it was later brought out of the mountains by Luo Lie. Everyone speculated that this might be a token left to him by his family.
Seeing the word "cold" engraved on the jade pendant, he named him Leng Mohan. As for the word "Mohan", it was because he found Leng Mohan in the cold winter, and Luo Lie hoped that he would be free from hunger and cold in the future.
However, Leng Mohan did not have much desire to find his biological parents.
After all, he was no longer dependent on his parents, and what made him end up in the mountains back then was a mystery that he had no way of finding out.
Therefore, he just regarded this jade pendant as an ordinary piece of jade. After joining the army, he found it inconvenient to carry, so he simply took it off and kept it.
Leng Mohan only noticed the jade pendant after Luo Jiaojiao reminded him. He touched the delicate texture and knew that jade could nourish people, so he took advantage of the situation and lied to Luo Jiaojiao that the jade pendant was extremely valuable and asked her to wear it all the time.
Leng Zeyu and Long Xi felt nervous when they heard about the jade pendant. They asked in unison, "Jiaojiao, can you show us the jade?"
Luo Jiaojiao didn't think much about it, and obediently took off the jade pendant from her neck and handed it to them. The new red rope and the jade pendant complemented each other, and the original rope had broken, witnessing the traces of time.
Long Xi recognized the jade pendant at a glance. It was engraved with the word "cold" and the year Mo Han was born. She had given it to her son personally, and she would never forget it.
Long Xi burst into tears, her son was really still alive.
