Just as the two were looking at each other affectionately in silence in the living room, a loud shout came from outside the house, interrupting the somewhat weird atmosphere.
"It's time to eat! It's time to eat! Come out and eat!" Old Tan shouted at the top of his voice.
"I know!" Lu Qing responded in the same loud voice.
Hearing this conversation, Jianshu rubbed his ears slightly. They are indeed a couple, with such voices and such tacit understanding, they are a perfect match.
Then Lu Qing stood up and said, "Come on, come on, the meal is ready. Let's eat first. We can talk while we eat."
After saying that, he ignored Ding Ming and Gu Mingjing, walked over, took Jian Shu's arm and walked out, "Shu Shu, you must be hungry, let's go eat. I'm telling you, and I'm not bragging, but the food my old Tan cooks is amazing, and everyone who has eaten it says it's delicious."
"Then I must try it today." Jian Shu said with anticipation.
My ancestor was a royal chef. Thinking about the braised pork made by the chef in the state-owned restaurant who was also a royal chef, Jianshu's anticipation instantly exploded.
Seeing her like this, Lu Qing giggled, "Okay, you must eat more later."

After leaving the living room, Jian Shu looked around and asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, haven't the children come back yet? Shouldn't we wait for them before dinner?"
She knew that Lu Qing and Lao Tan had two sons, and most of the gifts she brought today were also prepared for them.
I didn't see him before and thought he was out playing, but it's already dinner time and I still haven't seen him.
"Don't worry about them. I sent them back to my parents' home two days ago. They are not at home." Lu Qing replied.
Jianshu nodded in understanding, "Oh, I see." She didn't ask any more questions, as it had nothing to do with her anyway.
But she didn't ask, because Lu Qing couldn't help but want to complain.
Jian Shu's words seemed to have opened the conversation, and she immediately opened her mouth like a machine gun, "Yes, you know I have two little boys at home. They are half grown up and are at the age of mischief. When they are at home, they are always restless, jumping up and down all day long. Every day, they are either chasing the Zhang family's chicken or chasing the Li family's dog. There is no time for them to stop."
Jian Shu, who was listening in, asked in confusion, "Chickens? Is there anyone raising chickens around here?"
These days, it’s normal for rural families to raise chickens, but can city dwellers also raise chickens?
When Lu Qing heard this topic, she seemed to remember something and felt a little depressed.
He leaned close to Jianshu's ear and whispered, "How could that be? This chicken was bought on the black market. They were planning to kill it, drain the blood, and stew it. But the owner went to the bathroom halfway through, and thinking it would only take a few minutes, nothing would happen, they just left the chicken there.
Unexpectedly, just at this moment, his child and my two little boys came home from playing games. Seeing the chicken in the kitchen, they came up with the idea of plucking its feathers to make a shuttlecock. Their hands were heavy, and of course the chicken refused to do it. Somehow, it broke free from the rope tied to its legs and ran away.
This time, the chicken ran away instead of plucking its feathers. The children panicked and rushed out to catch the chicken. But how could a frightened chicken be so easy to catch? The harder they chased it, the faster it ran away. When the owner returned, they saw chicken feathers flying all over the yard.
Fortunately, the owner, fearing discovery, had tied the chicken's beak and locked the gate tightly. Otherwise, the chicken would have either escaped or the neighbors would have known about its cries. That would have been a big deal."
Lu Qing looked relieved, and Jianshu understood this very well. As for going to the black market, many people went there, but it was an unspoken rule that could not be made public.
Although it is not the chicken of the Tan family, the two sons of the family are involved. If something goes wrong, Lu Qing will definitely feel guilty.
"That's quite lucky. If someone had discovered it, it would have been difficult to deal with." Jian Shu nodded.
The two of them had already walked into the restaurant. A large round table was already filled with dishes. Jianshu found a seat and sat down at random.
Seeing that she understood her, Lu Qing, as if she had found a confidant, sat down next to her. Gu Mingjing, who was a step slower, had to sit on the other side of Jian Shu.
"Yeah, you don't know. My heart was beating non-stop after I found out. So many families have had accidents in the past two years. If something happens to any family because of this, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." Lu Qing said a lot and was very thirsty. She quickly poured herself a glass of water and also poured a glass for Jianshu.
As for Gu Mingjing and Ding Ming? Let them fend for themselves.
After drinking the water, Lu Qing continued, "That night after the incident, his father and I prepared a meal of stir-fried pork and bamboo shoots for them. We beat them until they cried and screamed, saying they were wrong.
Under normal circumstances, I would have softened my heart long ago, but that time, thinking about the possible consequences, I felt that they had to teach them a lesson.
Although their mistake was unintentional, it nearly caused serious consequences, and it's not something that can be easily dismissed with a simple "it wasn't intentional" statement. Otherwise, who knows if they might accidentally cause an even bigger disaster someday. If we don't educate them early, it will be too late to regret when something really happens."
Jian Shu felt that Lu Qing was the most clear-headed person in the world, and the way he looked at her seemed to be glowing.
After seeing too many naughty parents of naughty children in later generations, no matter how big the mistakes their children make, they always want to cover it up with a sentence like "The child is still young and doesn't understand", "He is still a child!", "You are an adult, why do you care about a child?" Parents like Lu Qing are simply role models and are worthy of learning from for all parents of naughty children.
Seeing that Lu Qing's teacup was empty, Jian Shu quickly picked up the teapot and filled it up for her.
