Chapter 68 Promise



Clean the pork and cut into cubes. Dilute the yellow sauce with water. Cut the cucumber into shreds, slice the carrots, and chop the onions, ginger, and garlic and set aside.

Pour the chopped pork into the hot oil, add the green onion, ginger and garlic after it changes color, and pour in the prepared yellow sauce after it is fragrant. Stir-fry over low heat, add some sugar when the sauce has fragrance, add the chopped green onion when the sauce turns red and black, stir-fry evenly and remove from the pan immediately.

Wash the pot clean, add half a pot of water, and after the water boils, fill the kettle with water first. Then put the rolled noodles into the pot. After cooking, add the fried sauce and mix well, then you can eat.

Cheng Mingyue cut several more cucumbers, mixed them into a cold dish and served them on the table.

Cucumbers are especially refreshing in the summer, and they are even more delicious when paired with noodles with soybean paste.

When Cheng Mingyue was cooking today, she specially added a drop of spiritual spring water to the dish, and the taste was even more delicious.

The fragrance made Cheng Tianlai outside the wall swallow his saliva.

Cheng Tianlai was so listless while cutting grass for the pigs this afternoon. Whenever he thought of the chicken chili sauce at Cheng Mingyue's house, his saliva would start to flow unconsciously, almost flooding the area.

He has always had a strong appetite, and he has been living alone these years, so he just has to muddle through his three meals a day. If it were in the past, it would not be a big deal, but every household in the village eats very sloppily.

But in the afternoon, Cheng Mingyue's jar of chili sauce completely awakened the gluttony that had been dormant in his stomach for a long time. Whenever he thought of it, he felt itchy and uncomfortable.

After Cheng Tianlai finished collecting pig grass, he unconsciously moved to the outside of Cheng Mingyue's house. Now, smelling the rich aroma of fried noodles with soybean paste, how could he bear it any longer!

It's just a bone setting. He had already broken his vow for that dead girl Mingyue, so what's the harm in breaking it again?

Thinking of this, Cheng Tianlai straightened his back again, reached out and knocked on the door, shouting: "Mingyue, I am your seventh uncle, open the door quickly."

Cheng Mingyue raised an eyebrow and looked at Lu Chen: "See, I said he couldn't help it, and now he's here, isn't he?"

Lu Chen's eyes lit up and he stood up and opened the gate.

Cheng Tianlai walked right past Lu Chen and was about to sit at the table. Cheng Mingyue reached out to stop him and said with a smile, "Seventh Uncle, you should wash your face first before eating. There's a portion for you, so don't be so impatient."

Cheng Tianlai glared at Cheng Mingyue. Even though he knew it was a trap, he had to jump into it. He quickly washed his face and hands, and then sat down with a serious look.

Cheng Mingyue pushed the mixed noodles in front of Cheng Tianlai and Lu Chen.

Cheng Tianlai didn't care about anything and just picked up the bowl and started eating.

Lu Chen looked at Cheng Mingyue, "Why don't you eat?"

He remembered that she had done a lot, so it shouldn't be enough.

Cheng Mingyue picked up a cucumber with chopsticks and bit it with a crunch. "You eat yours, I'm on a diet."

Lu Chen lowered his voice a few degrees: "You are not fat at all, this is just right." After saying that, his face turned red like a monkey's butt.

"Cough cough cough!" Cheng Tianlai was choked by Lu Chen's words and coughed non-stop. He put down the bowl, covered his mouth with one hand, and pointed at Lu Chen with the other hand: "Your eyes... cough cough... are not good. I can... cough cough... help you with it."

Lu Chen's face, already red, turned even redder when he heard this. He quickly glanced at Cheng Mingyue and whispered back, "My eyesight is good. Mingyue is not fat at all. Don't talk nonsense."

Cheng Tianlai glanced at Lu Chen, clicked his tongue twice, and then picked up the bowl and started eating.

However, the look he gave Lu Chen was filled with a hint of disappointment.

Cheng Mingyue didn't say anything, but there was a hint of inquiry in her eyes when she looked at Lu Chen.

Under what circumstances would a man feel that a fat person is not fat at all.

There are only two situations.

One type does not care at all. Even if you become fat to death, it has nothing to do with him. It is of no use to him to say a few words against his will out of consideration for the relationship.

Another possibility is that he likes this fat girl. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. This is easy to explain.

But Cheng Mingyue couldn't see how Lu Chen felt about her.

If I say that I don’t care, it doesn’t seem to be the case. If I say that I like her, it doesn’t seem to be very obvious.

Am I overthinking it?

Cheng Mingyue shook her head, suppressed her doubts, and concentrated on eating the cucumber.

Lu Chen held the bowl as if it weighed a thousand pounds. He naturally felt the look in Cheng Mingyue's eyes as she looked at him just now, and he couldn't figure out what Cheng Mingyue thought of him.

Among the three people, Cheng Tianlai was the one who ate the happiest.

He ate three big bowls and still felt a little hungry.

"Uncle Qi, we have a long way to go. My Lu Chen still needs you to treat his leg. You can't let him die of it."

"Why are you talking so mean, you damned girl? If I had known that, I would have burned you to death that day, so that you wouldn't have to piss me off now."

Cheng Tianlai was so angry at Cheng Mingyue's words that he couldn't breathe.

Cheng Mingyue still had a grin on her face: "Seventh Uncle, how could I bear to make you angry? I'm doing this for your own good. Besides, if I burn to death, you won't be able to eat such delicious noodles with soybean paste."

"What is this fried bean paste noodles? The taste is not authentic at all. Back then..."

Cheng Tianlai began to reminisce about the past again.

Cheng Mingyue didn't argue with him. Many ingredients were missing, so her cooking was indeed a little disappointing, but the taste was definitely not bad, otherwise Cheng Tianlai would not have eaten three bowls in a row.

Cheng Mingyue quickly interrupted him, "Seventh Uncle, you've already eaten, when are you going to treat Lu Chen's leg? We can't do things that will destroy the bridge after crossing it."

"Do you think I'm you? I'm a gentleman who keeps my word, unlike you..." Cheng Tianlai was full of resentment.

Cheng Mingyue really didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him. "Just give me a definite answer. What's the point of saying so much?"

"...I'll come again tomorrow night." Cheng Tianlai wiped his mouth, "Remember to make something delicious, don't forget!"

After receiving Cheng Tianlai's accurate letter, Cheng Mingyue and Lu Chen both breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing Cheng Tianlai off, the two of them cleaned up the dishes. Lu Chen was about to take a shower when he noticed that Cheng Mingyue's face was pale, and she was holding her stomach and could not stand steadily.

Lu Chen quickly ran over to support her and asked anxiously, "Mingyue, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Mingyue was in so much pain that she couldn't utter a word. Lu Chen picked her up and ran into the house quickly. He then gently put her on the kang and wanted to go find Cheng Tianlai.

Cheng Mingyue grabbed Lu Chen's clothes and said with difficulty: "My...my relatives are here."

Lu Chen didn't understand at all: "Relatives?"

He looked up and saw that there was no one inside the house or outside the yard.

Cheng Mingyue rolled her eyes and said, "...I have my period." Then she fainted.

Only then did Lu Chen understand what Cheng Mingyue was talking about. Seeing that she had fainted, he didn't care about being shy and ran to find Wang Guihua in a hurry. On the way, he also pulled up Cheng Tianlai who was about to fall asleep.

Cheng Tianlai cursed under his breath, but this time his movements were very efficient. He first dug out the silver needle buried in the ground, put it in his arms, and ran towards Lu Chen's house as fast as he could.
