Xie Sili thought Shen Lu didn't seem like it, after all, her every move was that of a model lady from a respectable family, and she didn't show any arrogance or domineering side at all.
On the contrary, it was Wenxin'er who aroused a lot of suspicion in him.
Xie Sili pondered for a moment, originally considering whether to test the woman's background.
After all, one should be cautious when it comes to one's life-long happiness.
Now it seems that Xie Sili already has a plan in mind.
Despite her arrogant attitude, Liu Xiaojuan did nothing at all.
Based on what that woman just said, the masterminds behind it are probably Wenxin and her companion.
Seeing Zhuang Xiaoting bowing and scraping to Wen Xin'er, Xie Sili became even more convinced.
Wenxin'er is the arrogant and domineering younger sister of the Black Tiger Team.
However, life in the family compound smoothed out her rough edges and taught her to disguise herself.
Everyone walked towards the auditorium.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaolu."
Zhao Jingxue looked at Shen Lu with a sincere expression of gratitude.
She works here alone and has suffered a lot of grievances.
For the first time, someone stood behind her and spoke up for her.
She has a quick temper, and if she rashly confronts Liu Xiaojuan, she will definitely be at a disadvantage.
"It's too formal for us to talk about these things," Shen Lu said with a smile.
"Come to my house for dinner tonight, I'll show you my cooking skills."
"Okay."
The two talked as they walked toward the auditorium.
Everyone put a lot of effort into preparing their performances, and even a modern person like Shen Lu found them wonderful, especially Zhao Jingxue and the others' dance, which was very lively.
Finally, there was even a solo performance by Wenxin'er. After the song ended, many people in the audience cheered for her.
Wenxin glanced in Shen Lu's direction, wanting to provoke her, only to realize that Shen Lu's gaze wasn't even on her.
It felt like punching cotton.
Shen Lu sent the two younger children back home at noon, and in the afternoon the two children went out to play with their friends.
Shen Lu and Zhao Jingxue are talking as they walk towards her house.
"Sister-in-law, what have you and Gu Tuan been saying lately?" He Cunguang saw Shen Lu on the road and came over. He asked Shen Lu, but his eyes were on Zhao Jingxue.
"Not bad." Shen Lu said honestly, and the two of them actually had the illusion of being in love.
"If you need my help, just let me know." After saying this, He Cunguang tried to leave.
"Thank you so much. By the way, Cun Guang, have you made dinner yet? If not, come over to my house for dinner."
Shen Lu asked.
"Sister-in-law, you've come at just the right time. I'm starving, and I'm busy with the group."
"Your team leader is behind us, he'll catch up soon."
Gu Xiao's voice came from behind. The four of them walked towards Shen Lu's house while discussing what to eat for dinner.
After eating Shen Lu's roujiamo (meat sandwich) last time, He Cunguang couldn't stop thinking about it for a long time, and even the meat buns from state-run restaurants didn't taste right.
Zhao Jingxue was also incredibly tempted; her sister Xiaolu's cooking skills were truly exceptional.
Back at Shen Lu's house, Shen Lu and Gu Xiao didn't even need to lift a finger; Zhao Jingxue and He Cunguang took turns preparing the dishes.
There was a chicken that Zhao Jingxue bought, and vegetables that He Cunguang brought from home.
Also, Shen Lu caught a few fish these past two days and has been keeping them in the aquarium at home, which came in handy today.
Gu Xiao quickly washed up and sat on a small stool in the yard, weaving a rocking chair.
Shen Lu mentioned it casually when she was enjoying the cool afternoon air.
She herself had forgotten him, but the man remembered him.
It feels so good to be cared about.
Shen Lu simply stood up and massaged Gu Xiao's shoulders.
The girl's grip wasn't strong; when she pinched his shoulder, it felt like a kitten tickling him, which Gu Xiao found very pleasant.
The two little ones followed suit, standing on either side of Gu Xiao and massaging his thighs.
Zhao Jingxue and He Cunguang witnessed this heartwarming scene as soon as they came out, and exclaimed in unison.
"Sister Xiaolu is so good to her brother-in-law."
"My troupe leader is really good to his sister-in-law."
The two exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
With the ingredients prepared, it was time for chef Shen Lu to make her appearance.
Zhao Jingxue and He Cunguang were teasing Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze.
Zhao Jingxue and He Cunguang weren't much younger than Gu Xiao and Shen Lu, yet they still bickered like children.
"The twins love me the most. They were so enthusiastic when I came before. They definitely love Auntie the most."
"I watched these two little ones grow up. Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze, tell me, aren't they closest to their uncle?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu seemed to have discovered something and raised his hand high.
During previous classes, Shen Lu emphasized that students should raise their hands before speaking in class.
"Xiao Yu, you say it."
"Isn't Auntie Uncle's wife?"
Instantly, Zhao Jingxue and He Cunguang's faces turned as red as tomatoes.
He Cunguang: "We have nothing to do with each other."
Zhao Jingxue: "Does anyone know him?!"
Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze, the two little ones, opened their big, innocent eyes and asked, "Why are you and your aunt blushing?"
Shen Lu acted swiftly, in less than half an hour.
Braised pork belly, stewed chicken with chestnuts, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, spinach with nuts, and garlic-flavored bok choy are freshly prepared.
If it weren't for the aroma of food, the two of them would probably still be arguing right now.
The two kept a distance from each other during the meal; if they weren't afraid of not being able to reach the food, they wouldn't have even sat down at the table.
"What's wrong with you two?" Shen Lu asked, puzzled.
Zhao Jingxue and He Cunguang pretended not to hear and buried themselves in their rice.
Xiao Yu, who couldn't bear to see his mother being neglected, raised his hand.
"Yesterday I learned that Auntie is Uncle's wife, so is Aunt Zhao Uncle He's wife?"
Zhao Jingxue, who was eating, choked and looked resentful.
"Pfft, cough cough cough, Sister Lu, can you control your Xiao Yu?"
"Xiao Yu, Aunt Zhao and Uncle He have no relationship. Don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Yu counted on his fingers, his little head still not quite understanding.
"Who is Uncle He's wife?"
"Your Uncle He isn't married yet."
"Ah!" Xiao Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.
In his view, people as old as Uncle He are already married.
"Then why can't he marry Aunt Zhao?"
have to.
Children's questions are always endless. To prevent her son from continuing to play matchmaker, Shen Lu stuffed a chicken leg into his little mouth.
Sure enough, the little guy was happily munching on the chicken leg, having no time to think about He Cunguang's marriage.
He Cunguang and Zhao Jingxue exchanged a glance, seeing in each other's eyes the feeling of having survived a disaster.
The two couldn't help but laugh.
After dinner, Zhao Jingxue and He Cunguang took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Shen Lu has been trying to avoid getting cold these past two days, so she wipes herself down in her room at night.
The two little ones were playing in the yard while Gu Xiao continued weaving the rocking chair.
Recently, the two little ones have become obsessed with growing things in the yard, going from house to house to collect seeds and experimenting at their own home.
However, the two little ones don't have much talent in this area, and haven't succeeded in planting them yet.
After the two little ones finished their bath, they kept pestering Shen Lu to tell them a story.
The three of them lay on the newly woven rocking chair, the surface of which was polished to a smooth finish and felt cool to lie on.
The rocking chair Gu Xiao wove was very wide, and Shen Lu lay in the middle with the two little ones lying on either side, which was just right.
