Chapter 21



Lu Cheng carried his son to the hall: "Go sit down and prepare to eat, don't play tricks on me, or the mosquitoes will bite your butt again."

Lu Haici tightened his butt: "There are no mosquitoes now." His father said nonsense, adults lied to children, which is the worst.

Lu Cheng snorted: "Why are there no mosquitoes? Didn't you get bitten by a mosquito when you were taking a shower yesterday?"

Lu Haici blushed, thinking that he had lied to Ji Yang, and felt a little ashamed. He was a child who knew that lying was wrong. His aunt and grandmother taught him so, and his father also taught him so.

Lu Haici's upbringing was undoubtedly good when

he was young. This is also Lu Cheng's trust in his aunt, because he grew up with his aunt, so he knew her character, so he felt relieved to hand Lu Haici over to her. At this time, Lin Qingqing came in with two plates of wheat rolls.

Lu Cheng hurried to help: "Do you want to boil it? I'll do it."

Lin Qingqing said: "No, there are three bowls of rice porridge in the kitchen, you go and bring them." She put down the plate and walked towards the kitchen again.

"Okay." Lu Cheng followed. He picked up a large bowl of sweet potato rice porridge and a small bowl of sweet potato rice porridge, while Lin Qingqing held the remaining small bowl of sweet potato rice porridge and a lunch box.

At the dining table, Lin Qingqing opened the lunch box, which was the lunch box that she had packed with tofu pancakes for Lu Haici yesterday. She said, "Haici, I'll bring you four rolls of cereal to kindergarten today. You can share them with Ji Yang and other children." Food is the key to friendship for little kids. Lin Qingqing hopes that Lu Haici can have a happy childhood in kindergarten. Of course, these delicacies are based on the economic conditions of the Lu family. If the Lu family does not have the conditions to share these foods with others, then she will not do these things.

However, cereal rolls are not expensive food, so the Lu family can also share them.

Lu Haici's originally happy smile suddenly withdrew, and he lowered his head in silence. "Mom, can I not bring food and eat with Ji Yang?" he asked gloomily.

Lin Qingqing heard it and immediately looked at Lu Haici. She could see that he was not very happy. He was so happy just now, why is he unhappy now?

"Isn't Ji Yang your good friend? Did you have a fight?" Lu Cheng asked directly. He knew that his son was good friends with the son of Captain Ji next door. He thought that his son suddenly didn't want to share food with Ji Yang. It must be that the children had a fight. It was common for children to fight today and make up tomorrow, so Lu Cheng didn't care much.

"No." Lu Haici said gloomily.

"Then why don't you want to share food with Ji Yang?" Lin Qingqing asked gently, "You can speak out your thoughts, but it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. You are the little master of this family, and you have the right to decide this matter."

Lu Haici looked up and looked at Lin Qingqing, his mouth opening and closing, hesitating to speak, but he never made a sound.

Lin Qingqing smiled softly: "Okay, then let's eat first, you see whether the sweet potato rice porridge tastes better or the wheat rolls are better." Lin Qingqing said, and used a spoon to scoop a spoonful of sweet potato rice porridge to feed Lu Haici.

Seeing this, Lu Cheng looked at his son and then at Lin Qingqing. If it was him, he would directly ask why, but since Lin Qingqing said that Lu Haici could decide on this matter, he did not interfere.

Lu Haici opened his mouth and took a sip of the thick sweet potato rice porridge. His eyes lit up: "So sweet, so delicious." He was fed by his mother, so happy. Although his aunt also fed him when he was a child, children should be fed by their mothers, so after being fed by his mother, he is his mother's child. While eating, Lu Haici looked at Lin Qingqing, his eyes sparkling.

Lu Cheng: "He has hands and feet, let him eat by himself." He is already five years old, but he is still used to him.

"Hmph..." When Lu Haici heard what his father said, he felt that his father was too mean. His father must be jealous of his mother feeding him. "I can eat by myself." He glared at his father, then turned to his mother and said sweetly, "Mom, what you made is really delicious, better than what my aunt made. You are the best mother I have ever seen who cooks."

Puff... Lin Qingqing was amused. There was no way. Who doesn't like the flattery of her children?

The sweet potato rice porridge made by Lin Qingqing was cooked with brown sugar. Not much rice was put in, but it was cooked very badly. The rice paste was boiled out, so it had a thick feeling.

Although the sweet potato itself is a little sweet, the sweetness is not enough. If it is cooked into porridge, the little sweetness cannot support the sweetness of the porridge, so sugar needs to be added. In fact, you can add brown sugar or white sugar to the sweet potato rice porridge, but Lin Qingqing likes to add brown sugar because it looks better in color.

To make delicious food, it is not only necessary to taste good, but also to look good. It is appetizing to have color, aroma and taste.

Lu Cheng glanced at his son and felt that he couldn't bear to watch it. Look at this little mouth that made Lin Qingqing happy. No wonder his aunt couldn't sleep when he was going to take him away. It turned out that she was deceived by him.

Boys' mouths are deceiving.

"If you like it, eat more. There are a lot in the pot. After it cools down, it can be a small dessert." Lin Qingqing said.

"Mom is really amazing, even better than Dad. Dad can't cook. Dad and I used to eat in the cafeteria." Lu Haici said while making a face at his father.

Lu Cheng gave him a warning look as he ate his cereal rolls in big mouthfuls. Only a fool would argue with the bastard while eating. If he wanted to argue, he had to wait until he finished eating. Thinking of this, he ate faster. He couldn't beat the little bastard, so how could he not beat him?

However, he now firmly believed in Lin Qingqing's cooking skills. These seemingly ordinary things could be made into delicious things in her hands. Tomatoes, eggs, and flour are really ordinary things, but tomato and egg dumplings are delicious. For example, this morning's potatoes and cucumbers were even more ordinary, but with the addition of the pancakes, the taste became special. Thinking of what they discussed last night, Lu Cheng said, "After dinner, I'll go to the army and ask about the canteen." He had to hand in the mission report he wrote yesterday. "After that, I'll go to the county town to buy things. Do you have anything for me to bring?"

Lin Qingqing listened and said, "Can I go with you?" She did want to buy some things. When she was with Yu Xiuyao yesterday, she was embarrassed to buy too much, after all, the two of them couldn't carry it. Moreover, she was afraid of wasting the other person's time, so she didn't buy any personal things. Since she had the opportunity today, she wanted to buy some personal things, and then collect the original owner's things. She also wanted to buy some cotton cloth to make two sets of pajamas for herself. Of course, she also wanted to buy underwear.

Lu Cheng: "Of course you can." There

were ten cinnamon rolls. Lin Qingqing ate one, Lu Haici ate one, and Lu Cheng ate four. There were four left. When Lu Cheng went to get another one, Lu Haici quickly covered the cinnamon roll with his hand: "Dad can't eat it anymore. I'm going to take this to share with Ji Yang." The little kid has already learned the word "share" from his mother.

Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you quarrel with Ji Yang and not share it?"

"We didn't quarrel, Dad, you are talking nonsense." Lu Haici argued loudly.

"Then why didn't you agree just now?" Lu Cheng asked.

Lu Haici lowered his head again.

Suddenly, a hand gently touched his head.

"Mom..." Lu Haici raised his head.

Lin smiled and said, "Since you want to share it with your good friend, why don't you put the cereal rolls into the lunch box yourself?"

Lu Haici slightly widened his eyes, then bit his lower lip, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he spoke, his voice as soft as a mosquito: "Mom, do you like Ji Yang more, or me more?"

Lin said lightly: "..." Why does it feel like a girlfriend is asking her boyfriend, if you like your ex more, or if you like me more?

Lu Cheng: "What kind of question is this?" I don't know the structure of a child's brain. He would never ask such a brainless question when he was five years old.

Although Lin Qingqing didn't know why the little boy asked this, she tried her best to answer him in words he could understand: "Of course I like Haici more. Haici is our little baby, and I like Ji Yang because Ji Yang is Haici's good friend." She didn't say that she liked the little boy because he was sensible, well-behaved, hardworking, etc. She felt that adults shouldn't say these things when they like children, otherwise some children will remember these things in their hearts, fearing that once they are not sensible, well-behaved, or hardworking, adults will not like them anymore. She wanted Lu Haici to know that she liked him purely because she was their little baby.

When Lu Haici heard this, his eyes gradually widened and then quickly turned red. No one has ever said that he is the little baby of the family. Wuwuwu... Lu Haici threw himself into Lin Qingqing's arms, and his tears and snot all stuck to Lin Qingqing's clothes.

Lu Cheng's eyes moved. Even though he was old, he was also moved when he heard Lin Qingqing say that. Haici is our little baby... These words are so nice, no wonder the little bastard was moved to tears. Wait...what's the matter with old? He is only 28 years old, in the prime of his life, how come he has become old.

"Okay, stop crying, it's so embarrassing for a man." Lu Cheng reminded. Just cry twice, and the more he cries, the louder he gets.

"I'm not ashamed." Lu Haici raised his head from Lin Qingqing's arms and glared at his father again.

Lu Cheng picked up the chopsticks: "If you cry again, I will eat the rest of the rolls and won't let you share with the kids."

"Ah..." Lu Haici yelled, "Dad, you're too much." He immediately hugged the lunch box and held it far away from Lu Cheng, "Dad, you're an adult, how can you take a child's things? Children know that you can't take a child's things."

Lin Qingqing was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She didn't expect that Lu Cheng, who was cold and arrogant in the original owner's impression, would be so casual when he was with his son in private. Maybe there is a child king living in every man's heart, just like there is a little princess living in every woman's heart.

Next door

Yesterday, Xu Huijuan heard Ji Yang say that Lin Qingqing's food next door was delicious, and Ji Changfeng said that Lin Qingqing's tofu pancakes were also delicious. This morning, she put all her efforts into making pancakes for the man and the child. Her pancakes were made of eggs, flour, and bacon. Although there was no tofu like Lin Qingqing's, tofu was no match for bacon. However, she also admitted that Lin Qingqing's tofu pancakes were delicious.

"Wow, it smells good." After Ji Yang finished washing up, he sat at the dining table like an old man, "Mom, mom, I want to eat pancakes."

Ji Changfeng glanced at his son and said, "You only think about eating all day. Go, light the fire and serve the dishes for your mother."

Ji Yang leaned back in the chair, not taking his father seriously at all: "Mom said, I'm a child, children don't need to go to the kitchen."

Ji Changfeng chuckled. He said, "I think your skin is itchy."

Ji Yang was not afraid of him. He knocked on the table with his little hands and imitated Xu Huijuan's tone: "Old Ji, Ji Yang is still young, you can't be fierce to him, you will scare him. Old Ji, you have to listen to my mother and don't scare me."

Ji Changfeng didn't know how to scold grass. He didn't know there was a plant that could be scolded, but he walked over without saying a word, ready to pick up his son...

"Mom...Mom..." Ji Yang immediately yelled, "Mom, Old Ji doesn't listen to you, Mom, come and save me..."

When Xu Huijuan heard Ji Yang's words, she hurriedly carried the bowls and chopsticks to the living room, and saw Ji Changfeng had already arrived in front of Ji Yang, she hurriedly called him: "Old Ji, what are you doing? I have told you many times that Ji Yang is still young, and children must be taught slowly, and you can't be fierce to him, otherwise he will become less courageous when he grows up." In the last life, regardless of whether she treated Ji Yang equally or not, she did nothing wrong to Ji Yang on the surface, but secretly gave Old Ji some eye drops. Therefore, when Ji Yang was young in the last life, he was not as lively as he is now.

"Wife, I was just joking with him." Ji Changfeng immediately went over to help and said flatteringly, "Wife, you have been working hard as the head of the family. Please sit down and have a rest. I will serve the things."

Xu Huijuan rolled her eyes at him unhappily and said, "If you know how hard I work, don't tease the child." She has been with Old Ji all her life and she knows that this is his personality.

Ji Changfeng smiled naively: "Wife, you are so nice. Not only are you beautiful, but the food you cook is also delicious. It is a great honor for my family to marry you."

Xu Huijuan blushed slightly. She was already old, but she still blushed when she heard him say that: "Eat yours, don't embarrass yourself in front of the children."

Ji Yang rolled his eyes: "Dad, who is prettier, my mother or Lu Haici's mother?"

Ji Changfeng, who was about to eat egg and bacon pie, almost choked when he heard his son's words. "What are you talking about?" Is it okay to ask such a deadly question? "Then your mother must be beautiful. Your mother is the most beautiful person in the world."

"What are you talking about?" Xu Huijuan said coquettishly.

Ji Yang said: "I told Lu Haici that my mother is the most beautiful mother, but Lu Haici said that his mother is more beautiful than my mother. I said my father is a soldier, and he said that my mother is the most beautiful mother, so she must be the most beautiful, and soldiers will not lie. But Lu Haici said that it must be because you, Dad, have never seen his mother. Dad, have you seen Lu Haici's mother?" Ji

Changfeng thought it was something else, but it turned out to be a comparison between the two little guys. "No need to see, I also know that your mother is the most beautiful."

Although they are neighbors, Ji Changfeng has indeed never seen Lin Qingqing.

Ji Changfeng went to the army when the wake-up call sounded, and the original owner had not gotten up at that time. Ji Changfeng came back from work. The original owner was already eating the meal that Lu Haici brought from the cafeteria. The original owner never left the house. Not to mention Ji Changfeng, even Xu Huijuan had never seen her.

"Dad..." Ji Yang was dissatisfied, "You haven't seen Lu Haici's mother, you can't say that, you must meet Lu Haici's mother before you can say that my mother is the most beautiful. Children know not to brag."

Xu Huijuan was happy in her heart. The man said she was the most beautiful, and her son protected her. Which woman was as happy as her? So she didn't care: "As long as you think that my mother is the most beautiful, it's fine."

Ji Yang pouted and said, "No, I want Lu Haici... to make Lu Haici convinced, yes, convinced." He wanted to say that he was convinced, but he had no choice but to suffer the loss of not having a kindergarten diploma. "Dad, go see Lu Haici's mother. Whose mother is the most beautiful mother, twice the most beautiful mother."

This... Ji Changfeng was speechless. Why would a grandfather like him go to see someone else's daughter-in-law? Ji Changfeng was about to reason with his son when he heard Xu Huijuan say, "I also want to hear you say, who is prettier between me and Lin Qingqing." For any woman, even if she is facing her best friend, in the heart of her man, she also hopes that she is prettier than her best friend.

Ji Changfeng was about to reason with his son when he paused. Ji Changfeng looks honest, but he is smart, otherwise how could he say sweet words to his wife, but now that his wife said so, he can't just brush it off to his son. He thought for a while and said, "Deputy Regiment Lu is back, and we should indeed pay him a visit. According to inside information, Deputy Regiment Lu will be promoted to regiment commander this time. Ji Yang and Lu Haici have a good relationship, so it would be good for you to visit Comrade Lin Qingqing more often." He knew that his wife was a smart person, and some words should be said in moderation.

When Xu Huijuan heard this, she was not surprised that Lu Cheng was promoted to regiment commander, after all, this happened in her previous life. However, Lu Cheng's military career also ended there, because afterwards, Lu suffered the influence of Lin Qingqing and never got promoted again.

Wait... Lin Qingqing now is not the Lin Qingqing of the previous life, so will Lu Cheng's military career stop at the head of the regiment? Xu Huijuan didn't know.

She thought for a while: "Old Ji, can we move out of here?" No matter why Lin Qingqing of this life is different from Lin Qingqing of the previous life, she doesn't want to live next door to Lin Qingqing, especially since Ji Yang and Lu Haici are so good, the two families have to visit each other even if they don't visit each other. But Lin Qingqing offended the Qin family because of Lu Haici's matter, and Zhang Hongping is not a good person to get along with, so Xu Huijuan thinks it's hard to say. She doesn't want their family to be implicated by the Lu family.

Ji Changfeng was puzzled: "Why do you want to move out? Isn't it good to live here? This small courtyard is not easy to apply for. I was lucky to apply for it."

Xu Huijuan naturally had a plan in mind. She told the story of Lin Qingqing, Zhang Hongping and Yang Mailian yesterday: "... Although it is said that this incident was caused by Lu Haici, Comrade Lin Qingqing and Aunt Zhang Hongping and Aunt Yang Mailian said this. Although he may seem to have won the argument, he will certainly be criticized by others. Moreover, I think Comrade Lin Qingqing is a powerful person. I am a little afraid to get along with her, but Ji Yang and Lu Haici are good friends. If I don’t move out, I will inevitably get along with her. "

Ji Changfeng thought it was something else. He didn’t think it was a big deal: "Fighting between children is not a big deal." In this matter, he didn’t think Comrade Lin Qingqing did anything wrong. Of course, his wife’s consideration was also reasonable. His wife was a virtuous and gentle person. It was normal for her to be afraid of quarrels. He thought for a while, "How about this, I'll see if there's a suitable small courtyard, if there is, we'll apply for it, and in the meantime, we'll live here first. Or do you think a tube-shaped building is okay?"

"A tube-shaped building won't work, there's no small courtyard, and we can't grow vegetables." People living in tube-shaped buildings all want to move to small courtyards, and Xu Huijuan would be stupid to think of moving to a tube-shaped building, "Then you keep an eye on it."

Ji Changfeng thought so too.

Ji Yang didn't understand what his parents said, he ate the egg and bacon pancakes in big mouthfuls, and after finishing the pancakes, he immediately said, "Dad, let's go to Lu Haici's house to see Lu Haici's mother."

Ji Changfeng: "..." Can't get over this hurdle?

Lu's House

Lu Haici got his mother's approval and happily put the lunch box into his schoolbag. His mother said that she liked Ji Yang because he was her friend, and that she liked him because he was her baby. So Lu Haici was in a good mood and all his unhappiness disappeared.

In fact, he was a little unhappy yesterday. His mother made tofu pancakes and invited Ji Yang to dinner. His mother would be very nice to Ji Yang. Today, his mother made wheat rolls and asked him to bring them to share with Ji Yang. He thought his mother liked Ji Yang very much. He knew he was a bad boy. He didn't want his mother to like Ji Yang. His mother just wanted to be his mother and like him alone.

But now that his mother said it, he was no longer sad.

After packing the lunch box, Lu Haici swiftly carried his small schoolbag: "Mom, I'm going to kindergarten."

Lu Cheng said: "Didn't you just say you would help wash the dishes?"

Lu Haici was stunned and forgot about washing the dishes. He took off his schoolbag: "Then I'll wash the dishes before going to kindergarten."

Lin said lightly: "No need, your dad will wash the dishes in the morning, and you will wash the dishes at noon. You can just divide the work and cooperate." Lu

Cheng said casually: "...Then you will wash the dishes in the evening?" The three of them washed separately, which seemed just right.

Lin glanced at him lightly.

Lu Cheng felt that there was something wrong with this look. Did he say something wrong?

Lu Haici said, "I'll help mom wash the dishes at night." As long as he helps mom with work, mom will like him more. Dad is so stupid. He doesn't even help mom with work.

Lu Cheng: "..."

Lin Qingqing gave Lu Haici a brilliant smile, and then said to Lu Cheng lightly, "You and Haici will wash the dishes together at night. I cook and you are responsible for washing the dishes, or you cook and I am responsible for washing the dishes." Throw the dishes at night to her? It's better than Lu Haici thought.

"Don't worry, mom, I will wash the dishes with dad at night." Lu Haici patted his not-at-all-hard little chest to promise.

"Hai Ci is so well behaved. Our Hai Ci is the best." Lin praised gently, "Let's go. I'll take you to kindergarten."

"Hey." Lu Hai Ci took his mother's hand and walked away proudly.

Lu Cheng: "..." He cleared the dishes on the table and walked out of the hall silently. As soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw Lin gently holding Lu Hai Ci at the gate of the yard. The family of three next door were also there, and his son and the kid next door seemed to be arguing about something.

"Deputy Regiment Lu..." Ji Changfeng also saw him at this time and greeted him awkwardly.

Lu Cheng nodded, and just as he was about to go to the kitchen, he heard Lu Hai Ci shouting: "Dad, come here quickly, quickly..."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the little guy was shouting anxiously, Lu Cheng could only carry the dishes and chopsticks over.

Lu Hai asked angrily: "Dad, do you think my mother is the most beautiful mother? Is she more beautiful than Ji Yang's mother?"
