Chapter 276 Does She Really Like Him?
Fang Qiuyan had just arrived here and was unfamiliar with the place, so she referred to Lin Wanshu for everything she did.
Seeing her buying a chicken, she hesitated for a moment and then bought one too.
But she couldn't bear to buy a big one, so she bought a smaller one.
She personally followed Yang Zheng to the village to buy the chicken, spending five dollars.
Fang Qiuyan is actually quite talented in cooking. However, although her husband's family conditions are not bad, her mother-in-law is very stingy and she even has to watch her use of oil.
When cooking a dish, just lightly grease the pan with lard, and that’s considered adding oil.
Don't even think about soy sauce and MSG.
Cooking basically depends on salt.
Under such difficult conditions, Fang Qiuyan tried her best to make the dishes more delicious.
After coming here, she was afraid that if the food she cooked wasn't tasty, Lu Jingsong would dislike her even more, so she gritted her teeth and bought some seasonings.
She made a big plate of chicken from the hen she bought the day before yesterday. At this moment, the whole kitchen was filled with a delicious smell.
After Fang Qiuyan found Douhua playing with firecrackers, she took her to wash her hands.
"Mom, Sister Tingting's rocket launcher is so powerful, it flies so high!"
"Brother Shen Ci also has fireworks, colorful and beautiful."
……
Although Douhua has returned, it is obvious that his heart is still outside.
He excitedly shared the joy of setting off firecrackers with his mother.
Although the children in the village also have firecrackers, the varieties are not as rich as those here.
Today's tofu pudding really opened my eyes.
Fang Qiuyan was very happy to see her daughter becoming more and more cheerful and making so many new friends.
Lu Jingsong, who was standing by, realized that he had just spoken out of turn and wanted to apologize to Fang Qiuyan.
But looking at the mother and daughter who were chatting while washing their hands, he subconsciously swallowed the words in his mouth, as if he was afraid that his voice would disturb the harmonious scene before him.
Douhua seemed to have noticed something and she raised her little head.
But when she saw it was the legendary father, she, who was originally as happy as a bird, suddenly became like a mouse seeing a cat, and dared not make a sound.
Lu Jingsong: ...
Fang Qiuyan saw Lu Jingsong standing aside without saying anything, and thought he also wanted to wash his hands, so she quickly gave up her seat.
"We've washed it, you wash it."
Having said that, she took Douhua back to the kitchen.
After a while, Lu Jingsong also came back with wet hands. It was obvious that he had just washed his hands.
Douhua was sitting on a chair waiting for her mother to serve her food.
When she suddenly saw Lu Jingsong, she was a little flustered.
Lu Jingsong felt very uncomfortable seeing her like this.
But he didn't know what to say to her, so he could only sit down in silence.
After a while, Fang Qiuyan prepared three bowls of rice.
Today is New Year's Eve. According to the custom in my hometown, we cook dry rice without any sweet potatoes.
When Douhua saw the white rice, his eyes widened and he no longer cared about his scary father.
"Mom...Mom...shall we eat this?"
Her weak voice was full of disbelief, which made people feel sad.
It turned out that when the mother and daughter were in their hometown, they still ate sweet potato porridge during the Chinese New Year, and they never had a chance to eat white rice.
If she hadn't met Lin Wanshu, Fang Qiuyan might have cooked a bowl of sweet potato porridge for herself and Douhua.
But she won't do such stupid things again.
If she doesn't even respect herself, how can she expect others to respect her?
"Yes, we're going to eat this tonight. Mom also left a big chicken drumstick for you."
As she spoke, she picked up a chicken leg and put it in her bowl.
Seeing the big chicken leg in the bowl, Douhua couldn't help but swallowed hard.
But then, she suddenly shook her head, not knowing what she thought of.
"No... I don't want the chicken drumsticks for the tofu pudding. Give the chicken drumsticks to Brother Hongcai."
Lu Hongcai is Douhua's cousin, and also Lu Jingsong's nephew.
He is the most favored one on weekdays. Only he can eat big chicken legs and other things. Anyone else will be scolded if they look at him.
Douhua has been beaten and scolded so many times that he can't help but tremble when he sees chicken legs. How can he dare to eat them?
Lu Jingsong felt mixed emotions when he saw that his daughter didn't even dare to eat a chicken leg.
He guessed that they had a hard life, but he didn't expect that they would suffer so much.
Fang Qiuyan felt sorry for her daughter and didn't pay attention to Lu Jingsong's expression.
Patting Douhua's head, she comforted him, "Brother Hongcai is in his hometown. This is the army. Eat whatever you want. Don't be afraid. Mom will protect you in the future."
Douhua had no idea about the geographical location. She only vaguely understood that her mother would protect her in the future. She could eat the chicken legs in peace without fear of being beaten or scolded.
Thinking of this, she could no longer resist the temptation of the chicken leg. She grabbed the chicken leg in the bowl and began to devour it voraciously.
Fang Qiuyan was afraid that she would choke, so she quickly made her a bowl of soup.
"Eat the tofu slowly, don't eat so hastily."
But how could a child who had not eaten meat for years slow down when he suddenly ate a chicken leg?
In a short while, the chicken leg was eaten clean.
After finishing the meal, she still felt a little unsatisfied.
But she just glanced at the chicken in the bowl and didn't reach out for the chopsticks to pick it up. Instead, she lowered her head and ate her meal obediently.
Fang Qiuyan was afraid that she had no oil in her stomach and would not be able to handle eating too much meat at once, so she did not plan to let her eat as much as she wanted.
However, Lu Jingsong mistakenly thought that she didn't dare to pick up the food, so he tentatively picked up a piece of chicken for the tofu pudding.
"Here, have some more tofu pudding."
How could Douhua have expected that this father, who seemed like a stranger, would suddenly pick up some chicken for him?
He immediately froze in place.
Looking at the extra chicken in the bowl, she didn't know whether to eat it or not. For a moment, she was so embarrassed that she didn't move at all.
Seeing that she seemed to be frightened again, Lu Jingsong felt helpless and self-blaming.
She didn't even dare to accept her own concern.
You can imagine how derelict he is as a father.
Fang Qiuyan glanced at her frightened daughter, and felt a little more bitter in her heart.
No matter what grudges there are between her and Lu Jingsong.
At least he is Douhua's father.
Although Douhua didn't say it, Fang Qiuyan knew that she still longed for fatherly love in her heart.
Thinking of this, she softened her voice and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid, Douhua. He is your father. This is the chicken your father gave you. Eat it quickly."
Hearing this, Douhua looked up at her mother. When she saw the encouragement in her mother's eyes, she seemed to have found support and picked up the chicken in the bowl and started eating.
Seeing that she was willing to accept the meat he picked up, Lu Jingsong breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his eyes to look at the woman opposite him, only to see that she was eating her meal quietly, without even glancing at him.
It was as if there was nothing here worthy of her concern except tofu pudding.
Lu Jingsong frowned.
Why did she say something different from Fang Dongxue?
Does she really like him?
