"I have a name too. My name is Lu Ziyan..." The dog shouted loudly.
"Brother, I also have a name. My name is Lu Xiyun and I like it so much..." The cat also became happy.
Lin Yuexi looked at the two children whose faces flushed with excitement because of their new names, and her eyes became moist unconsciously. She hugged the children tightly and secretly vowed to give them all the love and care they had missed out on over the years.
"Gurgle... Gurgle..." The two little ghosts' stomachs growled.
"You must be starving! I'll get you something to eat..." Lin Yuexi looked at the two little kids with amusement.
"Mom...we..." Lu Ziyan blushed.
"Mom... can we help you do it together?" Lu Ziyan blushed and said in a low voice with anticipation. Lu Xiyun on the side also nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling and full of desire.
Lin Yuexi was slightly stunned, and a warm feeling rose in her heart. Her eyes became moist again. She smiled and touched their heads: "Of course, let's make a delicious meal together."
The mother and her two children came to the kitchen together, and Lin Yuexi was stunned.
The rice, eggs, and noodles in the kitchen are all gone!
Lin Yuexi knew that this must be the work of her father-in-law Lu Zhendong and her elder brother Lu Jianguo.
Xin'er is so cruel! She really didn't leave us anything! Lu Zhendong, Lu Jianguo, you are so kind.
But this time Lin Yuexi really wronged the father and son. They really left a few days of food for the mother and her two children, but unfortunately, her uncle Lu Weiqing came back.
When he just walked in, he happened to see his father and elder brother moving house. He went to their door and asked what was going on.
Lu Jianguo told him everything, even how his mother and wife were taken to the brigade headquarters for ideological education before they had even had their meal. This made Lu Weiqing furious.
He didn't really care about living in three large tiled houses, since he was away from home and could only go back a few days a year. But he couldn't accept the fact that his mother was sent to the brigade headquarters for ideological transformation.
So after Lu Zhendong and Lu Jianguo moved the bedding and clothes, as well as the grain, oil and rice in the kitchen, Lu Weiqing cleaned the kitchen thoroughly, packed up all the remaining food, leaving nothing behind, and returned to school overnight.
Lin Yuexi stood there in a daze, feeling helpless and amused. She turned to look at the two children, wondering how to explain.
Lu Ziyan raised his little head and said crisply, "Mom, it's okay, let's go out and find something to eat. The village is so big, there must be a way!"
Lu Xiyun also clenched her fists in agreement.
"Zi Yan, Xi Yun, it's okay, mom has a way. Turn away first..." Lin Yuexi knew that it would be impossible to go looking for food again!
Anyway, these two kids are too young and don’t know anything. It’s okay for them to just take some rice and dishes from the space.
Even if Lu Zhenguo and Lu Jianguo knew, they didn't dare to tell anyone. They were afraid that people in the village would say that they were mistreating their two children harshly.
The two children were well-behaved and obedient. They immediately turned around and stood straight. Lu Ziyan did not forget to remind them: "Mom, we won't peek, don't worry."
Lin Yuexi felt warm in her heart. She turned her back and pretended to rummage in the cupboard, but in fact she was using her mind to take the ingredients from the space.
In the blink of an eye, a small bag of rice, a few eggs, a small bucket of vegetable oil, salt, a small piece of meat and a handful of vegetables appeared in his hands.
She quickly placed the ingredients on the chopping board and said lightly: "See, mom said there was a way. We found some stock. Your grandpa still has some conscience and saved some for us..." Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun turned around when they heard the voice, their eyes lit up instantly, and they surrounded Lin Yuexi with cheers.
"Mom is so awesome!" Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun praised in baby voices, touching the green leaves gently with their little hands, their faces full of curiosity.
Don't think they don't know, grandpa and uncle have taken all the food in the kitchen and leveled it! This is their mother's magic trick, but the fact that mom has magic tricks can't be told to anyone!
If everyone else knew about it, Mom wouldn’t be able to perform magic tricks anymore, and her brother and sister would go hungry.
The two little devils thought of this and smiled knowingly, without saying anything. They really liked their mother now. Not only did she not beat them anymore, but she was also very gentle to them and could even conjure up ingredients to cook for them.
Lin Yuexi had no idea that these two little kids were thinking so much at once. She was busy cooking, washing vegetables, lighting the fire, pouring oil, and the eggs sizzled in the hot oil, instantly expanding into an attractive golden color, and the aroma filled the air.
After the eggs were out of the pot, Lin Yuexi cut the pork belly into pieces, put them into the pot and fried them until dry. She then cut the vegetable stalks into sections and put them into the pot, stir-frying them for a few times until the vegetable stalks were cooked, then took them out of the pot.
Then he washed the pot, cut the separated vegetables in the middle and put them into the pot. At this time, Lu Ziyan stood on a small stool, holding the handle of the spatula tightly with both hands, and started to stir-fry with a serious look on his face.
Lu Xiyun was diligently adding fire to the stove. The brother and sister were busy having fun, and some fire stains were on their little faces, like cats.
After the vegetables were cooked, she asked the two to wash their hands. After the two kids washed their hands, Lin Yuexi didn't act pretentiously. She took out three sets of bowls and chopsticks from the space, added rice, and the mother and her two children ate in the kitchen.
Lin Yuexi did this not because she was afraid of anything, but because she thought that her father-in-law and eldest brother had just moved out and hadn't given him the key to the house yet?
If I go to the main hall to eat in such a grand manner now, it would not be good if they broke in and saw me eating meat with my two children!
You have to know that in that era, meat was very precious and ordinary people could eat meat less than twice a year.
The mother and her two children sat around the small table in the kitchen. The steaming food gave off an enticing aroma that warmed their stomachs and hearts.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun ate until their cheeks were bulging and their faces were filled with satisfaction. Lin Yuexi watched them wolfing down the food, and from time to time she reached out to gently wipe the rice grains from the corners of their mouths, her eyes full of tenderness and doting.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, followed by Lu Zhendong's slightly rough voice: "Yuexi, are you eating?"
Lin Yuexi's heart skipped a beat and she quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks. She winked at the two children, signaling them to be quiet.
She stood up and walked quickly to the kitchen door, calmed herself down a little, and then opened the door.
Lu Zhendong stood at the door, holding a bunch of keys in his hand. His eyes dodged a little when they met Lin Yuexi's. He stammered, "I almost forgot to give you the key to this house."
As he spoke, he handed over the key and glanced into the kitchen. Lin Yuexi subconsciously moved to the side to block his sight and forced a smile: "Dad, thank you very much, it's amazing that you still remember, please come back soon."
Lu Zhendong seemed to want to say something, and opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed, turned and left.
