Finally, Lu Cheng crawled to Lu Ziyan. He grabbed his son's hand and carefully led him back.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Cheng and Lu Ziyan finally returned to the thick ice area safely.
Lin Yuexi ran over in a hurry, hugged Lu Ziyan tightly in her arms, and said distressedly: "You kid, you scared your mother to death!"
Lu Ziyan lowered his head and whispered, "Mom, I was wrong. I will never dare to be so naughty again."
After this little incident, the children became much more restrained when skating.
So Lu Cheng patiently taught the children how to skate, brake and turn correctly on the ice, and also played an ice relay game with them.
There were laughter and joy on the ice, and the tense atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant.
Before they knew it, the sky gradually darkened and adults and children went home in groups of three or five.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun also had a great time. When they returned home, Lu Xiyun invited Lu Xiaomei to her house for dinner.
Seeing this, Lin Yuexi went to the space to catch a hen, and took out a roast duck, preserved eggs, a fish, and some green vegetables...
Lu Cheng was no longer surprised that Lin Yuexi could take chickens, ducks, and meat from anywhere. He was just waiting for her to tell him the secret she was hiding.
So he didn't ask and just helped in the kitchen.
Lin Yuexi skillfully placed the hen on the chopping board and prepared to process the chicken first. Lu Cheng helped pass various seasonings and tools, his eyes full of admiration for his wife.
She first plucked the hen's feathers neatly and skillfully, and in a short while, the chicken feathers were cleaned up.
Then, she picked up a kitchen knife and gutted the chicken, her movements smooth and seamless.
Then, Lin Yuexi started to stew chicken soup.
She put the processed hen into a casserole, added appropriate amount of water, ginger slices, green onion segments and some nourishing medicinal herbs, then covered the pot and simmered it slowly over low heat.
As time passed, the aroma of the chicken soup gradually spread, and the whole kitchen was immersed in this warm aroma.
At the same time, Lu Cheng was not idle either. He started cooking fish.
He cut the fish open, took out the inedible gallbladder and some internal organs, washed it, made a few cuts on the fish, then sprinkled salt, cooking wine and ginger slices on it and marinated it.
He heated the pan, poured in a proper amount of oil, and when the oil was hot, he carefully put the marinated fish into the pan.
As soon as the fish was put into the pan, it made a sizzling sound and soon both sides of the fish were fried into golden brown.
Lu Cheng skillfully turned the fish over and continued frying until the fish was fully cooked.
After processing the chicken, Lin Yuexi began to prepare the roast duck.
The roast duck was already cooked and only needed to be coated with sauce and heated up.
Lin Yuexi took the roast duck out of the bag, put it on a large plate, looked at it carefully, then picked up a brush, dipped it in some sauce, and evenly spread it on the surface of the roast duck. The sauce exuded an enticing aroma.
Lu Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Yuexi, what seasoning did you use..."
"Puchi..." Lin Yuexi laughed proudly, "Lu Cheng, I'll keep it a secret from you for now, I'll tell you later..."
After saying that, she placed the roast duck coated with sauce on the steamer, turned up the heat, and the aroma of duck meat wafted into the air.
Then Lin Yuexi began to process the vegetables. She picked them one by one, soaked them in clean water, and washed them clean.
"Yuexi, we cooked so much today, can you finish it?" Lu Cheng asked when he saw Lin Yuexi making so many dishes.
Lin Yuexi said as she washed the vegetables: "The children must be hungry after playing all day, and it's rare for Xiaomei to come home for dinner, so we have to treat her well."
Finally, Lin Yuexi stir-fried a plate of vegetables, cut the preserved eggs into small pieces, and arranged them into a beautiful shape.
At this time, the table was already filled with several dishes, including golden and crispy roast duck, fragrant chicken soup, crispy outside and tender inside fried fish, refreshing and delicious green vegetables, and exquisite preserved eggs.
"Okay, kids, come and eat!" Lin Yuexi shouted.
After a while, Lu Ziyan, Lu Xiyun and Lu Xiaomei rushed into the main dining room happily.
When they saw the sumptuous food on the table, their eyes widened.
"Wow, Mom and Dad! The food tonight is so rich!" Lu Ziyan said excitedly, and was about to pick up some food to eat.
Lu Xiyun interrupted, "Brother, don't be greedy yet. Mom and Dad haven't started eating yet. Besides, Sister Xiaomei is here today. We can only eat after everyone is here..."
Lu Xiaoyan knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue with Xiyun.
After a while, Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi came to the table and everyone started eating.
Lin Yuexi and her family were eating chicken, roast duck, and fish here...
Over there, there was a commotion in the Lu family's old house.
The reason was that Lu Wei smelled the aroma of chicken, roast duck and fish. He looked at the dry cabbage and radishes that his grandmother and mother had placed on the table and began to arrange them.
"Mom, I want to eat chicken..." Lu Wei yelled at the top of his voice for chicken, and the sound was so sharp that it seemed to pierce the night sky.
"Eat, eat, you will know, just ask your dad and your grandma..." Li Xiuying yelled loudly.
Lu Wei slammed the chopsticks in his hand onto the table with a loud "bang", which scared the whole family.
"I don't want to eat these, I want to eat chicken! If I can't eat chicken today, I won't eat!" Lu Wei's face turned red, his eyes flashed with anger, and he looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Li Xiuying was already in a bad mood because she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and now she was even more furious after hearing what Lu Wei said.
"How can you be so ignorant, kid! Do you think chicken can be obtained just by saying so? Your father is idle all day long and doesn't know how to earn some money to improve their lives. What can I do? If you want to eat, ask your grandma and your dad to go to your third uncle's house to ask for it..." Li Xiuying said angrily.
When Liu Cuihua heard this, she glanced at Lu Zhendong next to her and said, "Boss, how about I go to San'er's house and ask for some chicken for Wei'er to eat..."
After saying that, she was about to stand up. When Lu Zhendong heard this, he paused on the stool and said, "You are not allowed to go! Old woman, have you forgotten what I said? Don't you want the ten yuan allowance anymore?..."
Liu Cuihua thought it made sense and that one should not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.
However, Lu Wei showed no sympathy for his family. He stood up and overturned the stool in front of him. The sound of the stool falling to the ground echoed in the room with a clang.
"I don't care. I'm going to my third uncle's house now to ask why he called Lu Xiaomei over to eat chicken but not me. I'm the eldest grandson in the family. Why can that money-loser eat something, but I can only eat these!" After saying that, he turned around and rushed out the door.
Lu Wei rushed out of the door angrily. The cold wind was howling in the night, but his heart was filled with anger and he didn't feel the cold at all.
Liu Cuihua chased after him and shouted, "Wei'er, come back here! Don't go..."
But Lu Wei didn't listen at all and his steps became more and more rapid.
