Chapter 107 Fu Huaiyi had never cooked.
Fang Qing repeatedly said, "Thank you, Jiang Ting. I thank you on behalf of my son Jianjun. Without you, my son and I wouldn't know what to do."
Fang Qing is also good at speaking. What does it mean to thank Jianjun on his behalf?
Lu Jiangting already felt indebted to Wang Jianjun, and in his opinion, helping them with these things was not enough to repay the interest on Wang Jianjun's kindness.
These words made Lu Jiangting feel extremely guilty. "Sister-in-law, you're too kind. It's my duty. Don't be too anxious. Eat and drink as usual. Don't let yourself get exhausted just because the baby is better. I'll come over earlier after work today."
Fang Qing nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with tears of emotion as she saw Lu Jiangting off.
……
Today is Thursday, and Lin Yuyao is off work.
After being sick for two days, I can finally get some rest.
Fu Huaiyi took care of her at her home, which made her feel very embarrassed.
She said she's not considering dating for the time being; all she cares about right now is making money, and she has no interest in anything else.
But Fu Huaiyi just kept hanging around her.
He helped her sew her quilt and boil water for her.
He's still cooking for her right now.
This is making things...
She could have rejected him in the same way she rejected Lu Jiangting, but with harsher words.
She also knew that Fu Huaiyi was different from Lu Jiangting. If she said something unpleasant, Fu Huaiyi would definitely not pester her like Lu Jiangting.
However, she simply couldn't bring herself to say such harsh words to Fu Huaiyi.
Lu Jiangting hurt her like that, so she has every right to curse him.
Fu Huaiyi has always been good to her, how can she say something harsh to reject him?
Can't refuse.
After the brain was burned, I felt dizzy, with a strange feeling, like something was growing inside me.
Busy Fu Huaiyi was unaware of the chaotic thoughts in Lin Yuyao's mind, and was instead focused on studying the coal stove.
He had never cooked, but he had seen others cook.
It looks easy, but once you start doing it, it's not so easy after all.
The coal stove was turned on, and the rice was put into the pot, but Yao Yao said we had to keep an eye on it, otherwise it would swell up.
He was very obedient; he was now staring intently at the coal stove, trying to prevent it from overflowing.
Each of them was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and an eerie silence filled the room.
The silence was broken by a soft "plop" sound.
Seeing the porridge rise, Fu Huaiyi immediately pressed the lid down tightly.
However, it didn't work. Instead, the steaming hot air mixed with scalding water splashed onto his hands, causing him excruciating pain.
But fearing he would lose face in front of Lin Yuyao, he endured the pain and pressed down hard without uttering a sound.
This scene stunned Lin Yuyao.
Ignoring her dizzy head, she got out of bed and shoved his arm away.
The pent-up heat was released, causing the pot lid to fly off and crash to the ground with a thud.
Pour a spoonful of cold water into the pot, turn off the heat, and you're done in one go.
Things have finally calmed down.
Fu Huaiyi's lips twitched, and he stood there at a loss.
Lin Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief, turned the heat down to low, picked up the pot lid and put it back on, and said to him, "Turn the heat down to low once it boils, and then just cover the pot halfway with the lid."
She placed a chopstick in the middle and said, "See, this is fine."
Fu Huaiyi, who had never done this kind of work in his twenty-odd years of life, looked at it seriously and asked, "Won't it grow back like this?"
“Yes, it can’t be suppressed.” Lin Yuyao looked at him strangely. “Didn’t you say you could?”
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
Being exposed for bragging, especially in front of someone you like, is incredibly embarrassing.
“I’ve seen Ah-Shuo cook it before. It looks pretty simple. I didn’t realize there was so much to learn.”
So, just because you've seen it doesn't mean you can do it?
Lin Yuyao's lips twitched, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"It's also my fault for not reading the whole thing; I didn't know what to do after it boiled."
Like a child who had made a mistake, Fu Huaiyi lowered his head and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I thought it was simple."
Seeing him like this, Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "It's okay. I wasn't born knowing how to do it. When I was little, I helped my mother start a fire and almost burned the kitchen down."
Fu Huaiyi's eyes flickered. "Really?"
Lin Yuyao nodded, "Yes, I was almost beaten to death by my grandma."
what?
Fu Huaiyi's heart tightened. "Your grandma even hits children?"
"Go ahead and hit them. Hitting children is normal in the countryside. Don't you hit your children?"
"Well... my family is fine, I don't think we've ever hit our children."
In this day and age, do people not hit their children?
very nice.
She envied such a family.
He originally said he would help cook, but in the end Lin Yuyao did the cooking.
However, he helped clean up the house, washed the pots and pans after the meal, and took out the trash.
He went downstairs to take out the trash, and then went to the market to buy vegetables.
He had never done these kinds of jobs before, so he consulted an old lady who sold vegetables, and with her help, he got all the necessary oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
Looking at the time, he realized it was too late to make lunch, so he simply ordered food from a restaurant and told them he would pick it up in an hour.
After doing all that, he carried the groceries back home.
Even though his relationship with Yao Yao hadn't progressed much, he somehow had the illusion that they were living together as a couple.
Buying groceries, cooking... these were all tasks he had never done before, and they gave him a unique experience.
On his way back, he passed a phone booth and made a call to the military unit, looking for Yi Yunshuo.
Yi Yunshuo went on the mission with him, and as soon as he got back, he said he was exhausted and that he was going to sleep for three days straight. He also declared that no one should disturb him for those three days.
Today is the third day, and Yi Yunshuo, whose whole body aches from sleeping, was called to answer the phone.
"Brother Yi? Where have you been these past few days?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
Hmph, it's been three days since you remembered me.
"outside."
"Oh, so what do you want from me?"
Are you coming out or not?
"What would I do outside? Are you going to treat me to dinner?"
Fu Huaiyi: All you ever do is eat.
Fu Huaiyi took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I'd like to invite you to dinner. Are you coming?"
Yi Yunshuo instantly snapped out of it. "I'll come, of course I'll come. Just give me your address, and I'll be there in no time."
"I'll wait for you at the house in Chenshan. There's no rush. Just arrive around 3 PM. If you come earlier, I won't be here."
"Three o'clock? Okay, it's settled then."
After hanging up the phone, Yi Yunshuo checked the time and realized it wasn't lunchtime yet.
Thinking to himself, since Brother Yi is treating me to dinner, I should eat less at noon.
After getting my food, I was eating with some friends in the cafeteria when I overheard Lu Jiangting talking at the next table.
Wait a minute, why is he looking so worried and borrowing money again?
"Sigh! The child has a fever of 39 degrees Celsius, what should we do? If we don't take him to the People's Hospital, what if he gets brain damage? How can I face Jianjun? Don't you think so?"
The person sitting opposite him nodded and said, "That makes sense, but isn't the pressure on you too much? You have your own life too, you can't always take care of them, mother and son."
