Chapter 186 So, it was intentional!
Wu Qingfeng tinkered in the kitchen for a long time, even though he had experience in wilderness survival when he went to the battlefield with his uncle.
But tonight is different; it's her who wants to eat it.
She has always had high standards for food, so he prepared it with great care.
This was a challenge for him, but the thought of holding her waist and leaping onto the roof in the backyard filled him with an irrepressible excitement.
She didn't refuse, and she remained calm afterward, which shows that she understood his meaning and accepted it.
He knew she would eventually understand.
He was willing to spend more time to make the person he loved happy, but he couldn't keep her waiting.
The roof was so high, and she was sitting alone. I wonder if she was scared.
She wasn't scared when she killed the pirates, so she probably wasn't?
But we can't delay too long. His knife skills aren't very good, and I don't know if she'll mind.
She seems to prefer leafy greens on weekdays. I wonder if two skewers of fried bok choy will be enough?
Wu Qingfeng worked alone in the kitchen for a long time, and finally grabbed a bunch of barbecue and a pot of wine to go find Lin Chang'er.
When he returned to the rooftop, he didn't see Lin Chang'er. Instead, he saw a small golden flower lying alone on the tile where she had been sitting, bathed in moonlight, making the moonlight appear even more desolate.
Bai Shaoan was half-awake and half-asleep when he smelled the aroma of barbecue. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wu Qingfeng sitting at a simple square table under the dim yellow oil lamp, drinking alone. There was also a plate of barbecue on the table.
Bai Shaoan cursed inwardly, "Third Brother is hogging all the food, that's so unfair!"
She sat up in bed with a jolt, then rolled off the bed. "Chang'er is so biased. She secretly gave you special treatment, but didn't even call me."
He felt isolated by them and was extremely unhappy, so the whole plate of barbecue was his.
snort!
Bai Shaoan retaliated by grabbing a handful of barbecue skewers, taking a bite of pork belly, chewing it, and then spitting it all out with a "Pui pui pui..." sound.
"Why is it so salty? Did Chang'er's hands shake today?"
Unable to find the teapot, he grabbed the wine cup from Wu Qingfeng's hand and sulked.
He then breathed a sigh of relief, "The wine is indeed good."
Wu Qingfeng said calmly, "Hmm, drink more."
After saying that, he went to the front to wash up.
Bai Shaoan: "..." What's going on?
If the barbecue isn't good, is it really necessary to get angry?
When Wu Qingfeng returned after washing up.
Bai Shaoan quickly said, "Perhaps you were tired from fighting the pirates tonight. It's normal to occasionally lose your composure. You'll be fine after a couple of days of rest!"
Was this meant to comfort him? Wu Qingfeng was speechless. "What are you trying to say?"
Bai Shaoan said, "Third brother, don't be fooled by the fact that cooking seems like a simple thing. I've only realized how difficult it is to cook after staying with Chang'er for a while."
"If there are few people, it's fine, but if there are many, figuring out how many meters to lay becomes a science!"
Wu Qingfeng was both annoyed and amused. "Is it really that bad?"
Bai Shaoan: "..." What does that mean? Wasn't he angry because the food wasn't good?
Bai Shaoan: "It is a bit salty."
Wu Qingfeng glanced at him. "I did it."
Bai Shaoan: "..." Wait, why is his third brother making barbecue in the middle of the night? Can someone tell him why?
What exactly triggered this?
Bai Shaoan wanted to ask something more, but Wu Qingfeng had already taken off his outer garment and lay down.
The next morning, Lin Chang'er went to deliver goods without even having breakfast.
It was a bit rude of me to stand someone up last night, so it's best to avoid meeting them today if possible.
He was usually at the county government office, so she couldn't see him even when she went to town.
In a few days, all the romance will have faded away.
Wu Qingfeng also got up very early. When he heard from Aunt Gu that Lin Chang'er had already gone out, he immediately understood. Hmm, she's avoiding him!
So, it was intentional!
For several days in a row, Lin Chang'er was busy.
He Chunshan has already come to Linshui Village to teach, and the recovery of Niu Xiaomei's house is not going smoothly.
As they had expected, Granny Niu threw a tantrum at Niu Ersao, saying that Niu Xiaomei couldn't even take care of her parents in their final days and was not worthy of being a daughter.
Others naturally knew this was unreasonable. Niu Xiaomei had been abducted by those scumbags from the Lin family; otherwise, her parents wouldn't have died so young.
Because there were no immediate family members left at that time, the compensation originally intended for the Lin family was not provided.
Now that the case has been solved, apart from the few culprits who are still imprisoned and awaiting execution in the autumn, the rest of the Lin clan members have been exiled, and there is no way to pursue the matter further.
Lin Chang'er couldn't stand the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking nonsense, but since there was already a rift between their two families, she couldn't intervene. In the end, Zhou Hai stepped in and reprimanded the two women.
Niu Ergen, being a clear-headed man, said he was willing to compromise and let Xiaomei repay the money his family had spent on her parents' funerals, and that he was willing to return the house and land.
Niu Xiaomei immediately found Lin Chang'er, sold the land, and redeemed the house.
Afterwards, Granny Niu and Sister-in-law Niu Ergen had a big fight. Niu Ergen's face was scratched all over by the two women, but he still wouldn't back down.
On the contrary, he took good care of his cousin, Niu Xiaomei.
Now that Niu Xiaomei and He Chunhua have become sworn siblings, Lin Chang'er bought the small courtyard next to Niu Xiaomei's house and allocated it to He Chunshan's family to live in.
The agreement stipulated that if He Chunshan served the coastal defense team for 5 years, the house would be his. As for her mother's illness, Lin Chang'er had also asked a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to see her twice, who prescribed a medicine. After taking two doses of the medicine, her mother's madness was gradually decreasing.
He Chunshan was naturally very grateful and felt he had no way to repay the kindness, so he worked hard to teach the promising young archers in the coastal defense team how to shoot arrows well.
Right now, we're just waiting for his mother's condition to improve so the whole family can move here together.
In this way, they can at least look out for each other's adopted sister's family next door.
After the pirates failed to land twice, Lin Chang'er thought she would be depressed for a while before making a comeback.
Therefore, an auspicious day was chosen, and the construction of the new house and factory has already begun.
The Gu family's work is known for being easy, with high pay and meals included—not the bland kind, but real white flour buns or rice, and big chunks of meat at lunchtime.
The able-bodied men in the village were all willing to do the work for their family, so the new house was built very quickly.
Since that day, Lin Chang'er and Wu Qingfeng have never met again, and she has never come to Linshui Village on her days off.
Lin Chang'er could understand it quite well. A proud son of heaven who had been praised since childhood had suffered a major setback when he first fell in love with a widow from the countryside. No one would get over such a thing so easily.
That day, Lin Chang'er was delivering goods into the city as usual. On her way back, a sudden downpour caused her donkey cart to get stuck in a ditch.
Lin Chang'er struggled for half an hour without success. Just as she was pushing the cart with her last bit of strength in the rain, she heard the clatter of hooves behind her.
As they drew nearer, a familiar figure came riding towards them...
