Chapter 44 Did you steal last night?
The lamb leg had a bit of fat, and the aroma of the fat overflowed, and the aroma of barbecue immediately filled the yard.
Chen Xiang didn't even bother to gossip about how Su Heng knew such a handsome guy like Meng Xiao. She kept looking up to see if the lamb leg was cooked.
Song Wan came in after washing the potatoes. Seeing her like this, she smiled and said, "It will take a long time to bake. It will probably take more than an hour."
Chen Xiang was immediately deflated upon hearing this, but seeing that Song Wan was not as unapproachable as he seemed, the girls in the kitchen quickly became familiar with him.
Chen Xiang and Luo Yan are both authentic rural girls. They thought it was just an ordinary meal, but they didn't expect the dishes to be so sumptuous.
Especially the big leg of lamb, which is not easy to get nowadays when supplies are tight.
But since they were able to make good friends with Su Heng, they must have good character, so they didn't ask too many questions.
Since Su Heng called them, it means that she really values them and she cannot let them down.
The vegetables and meat were basically sliced. Song Wan didn't forget the pea tips that Su Heng had been longing for in the hot pot, so they didn't need to be sliced.
To prevent the barbecue from being too greasy, Su Heng specially cooked a pot of pork ribs and carrot soup.
By the time the sunset dyed half the sky red, the lamb legs were almost cooked, and the hot pot began to bubble.
The unused table in the west room was moved out and neatly placed with hot pot dishes.
"Okay, dinner's ready, comrades!"
Su Heng said, serving each person a cup of fruit tea, and finally picked up her own cup and said:
"To celebrate this wonderful day and to celebrate Comrade Song Wan finding a job, let's have a party together!"
Lu Mingchuan was the first to respond, and the others raised their glasses one after another. Although Chen Xiang and Luo Yan didn't understand what this ceremony was, they were infected and raised their glasses as well.
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
…
Several people sat around the hot pot casually, making whatever they wanted to eat, and even cutting the roasted lamb leg themselves.
However, Su Heng's family did not have a small knife for cutting meat, only a large kitchen knife.
So Lu Mingchuan helped slice a few plates of barbecue for Su Heng. She tried the hot pot barbecue and found it surprisingly delicious.
Maybe they had never eaten anything so spicy before, so everyone’s mouths were a little red after eating it.
Meng Xiao's eyes were red from the spicy food, but he didn't put down his chopsticks. Su Heng found it strange, but when she turned around, she saw that the three girls' eyes were also a little red.
"You guys...are you really that spicy?"
Chen Xiang nodded wildly and said, "It's spicy, but delicious!"
Luo Yan also nodded in agreement.
It turns out that the tasteless potatoes boiled in water are so delicious in hot pot!
Su Heng went to see Lu Mingchuan again. Fortunately, he looked fine. Perhaps he had been trained by eating spicy food with Su Heng during this period, so he looked normal.
Seeing her looking at him, Lu Mingchuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes appearing very gentle in the twilight: "Do you want more barbecue? I'll go cut it."
"I'll go by myself. You don't have to keep busy."
"I'd love to."
As he spoke, he started to cut the meat. Su Heng just stared at him blankly with her chin supported by one hand.
Meng Xiao inadvertently saw this scene, paused in picking up the food, turned around and saw Cheng Yi and Song Wan huddled together not far away.
Suddenly I felt that the meat in the bowl was no longer fragrant.
The party ended only when dusk fell. Everyone helped to clean up the leftovers before leaving.
After Su Heng washed up, she remembered that she had not given Lu Mingchuan an acupuncture today.
She plucked all three fruits from the pot of seven-leaf grass on the windowsill, but because of the compensatory nutrient water, the branches and leaves grew even better.
Lu Mingchuan had already washed up when Su Heng knocked on the door and went in with the needle box.
He was dressed coolly, in a white vest and shorts, and was leaning leisurely against the head of the bed reading a book.
The light reflected his handsome profile, making even his tough features appear softer.
"What are you looking at? It's time for the injection."
Seeing this, Lu Mingchuan moved inside and said, "I thought you weren't coming today."
Su Heng took out the needle: "You remember? Then why didn't you remind me?"
Lu Mingchuan: "I see you've been busy all day, and I'm worried you're tired."
Su Heng paused with her hand holding the needle, wondering if there was something wrong with Lu Mingchuan recently.
He is gentle and considerate. Is he also possessed by some ghost?
Su Heng's suspicious look did not escape Lu Mingchuan's eyes.
This stupid fox is so slow.
After the acupuncture, Su Heng couldn't help but yawn. She felt a little sleepy.
To prevent herself from falling asleep here again, she pulled Lu Mingchuan aside to chat, but this time she didn't tell ghost stories.
Ever since she scared herself after telling that story, she would check under the bed every night before going to bed and rarely went to the bathroom.
After chatting for a while, Su Heng thought of Lu Mingchuan's silence when Uncle Lin talked about his military career during the day.
Suddenly asked: "If your legs are healed, what do you want to do?"
Some people find it difficult to adapt to ordinary life after returning from the battlefield.
If Lu Mingchuan still wants to go back, his former unit will definitely open its doors to him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Mingchuan said, "Go to work and make money."
And, support the family. He didn't say these two words.
He knew what Su Heng meant, but he was different from Uncle Lin.
Uncle Lin is a lonely man, but he has a wife.
Su Heng was obviously surprised that Lu Mingchuan's plan was so simple and unpretentious.
She smiled and said, "If you work hard, you might be able to make a lot of money."
Lu Mingchuan keenly noticed that she didn't seem to want to get involved, and his heart sank.
He asked casually, "What about you? What do you want to do in the future?"
Of course, it is to go to college and make a lot of money.
But this couldn't be said yet. Su Heng just held up her chin and said, "I want to make money too, but let's take it one step at a time."
After all, there is still more than a year before the college entrance examination resumes, so she can't leave for the time being.
Lu Mingchuan said tentatively: "Then let's make money together."
Su Heng looked over, then dodged and looked at his leg where the needle was inserted.
After a few moments of silence, I didn't want to lie to him, so I didn't respond.
Let's talk about it when his leg is healed.
Lu Mingchuan must be too lonely. Being trapped in this small courtyard every day, he inevitably developed a dependent mentality towards her.
"Okay, time's up. Let's take a rest after removing the needle. It's getting late."
Lu Mingchuan responded softly, but didn't say anything else. He just stared at her back as she walked away without any reluctance.
Su Heng returned to the room and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the mosquito net above her head. She was obviously very tired, but she just couldn't fall asleep.
Closing his eyes, the image of Lu Mingchuan frowning and saying he wouldn't give him a penny when he first arrived flashed in his mind.
After a while, the image of Lu Mingchuan making a recliner because of her idea popped up again.
When did the change begin?
She is afraid of the changes in a relationship, which means instability, just like when she was young and was pushed around by her parents.
She was vaguely resistant to marriage, and those loud quarrels were her entire impression of marriage.
When the initial enthusiasm fades away, all that is left is a mess.
…
Ahhh! So annoying! Go to sleep!
The next day, at noon, Su Heng got up with a pair of huge dark circles under her eyes.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he ran into Lu Mingchuan who had just entered the main room. He glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Did you steal last night?"
