Chapter 51

Those who stay in the city have no work but need food to eat.

If there are too many people in the family to support, sending the children to the countryside can reduce the burden.

There are not many people like Lu Wan who ask to go to the countryside on their own initiative.

When the educated youth saw Lu Wan’s parents, they naturally thought of their own parents and families.

They have seldom returned home since they went to the countryside. It is inevitable that people who are away from home do not miss home.

Knowing that Lu Wan’s parents were coming and would use the kitchen, everyone cooperated and left a pot for Lu Wan, while everyone lined up to cook in the other pot.

Lu Jun and Yang Ling came over, each carrying a huge military bag.

One bag contained the couple’s clothes and daily necessities.

The other package contained all food.

The Army took out what they had brought.

There were canned meat and canned fruit, five pounds of Chinese sausage, two strings of bacon, two cured chickens, a cured duck, twenty salted duck eggs, a large bag of beef jerky, and snacks such as White Rabbit milk candy, brown sugar, red dates, and sugar crisps.

Lu Jun took out all the food he had brought for Lu Wan.

“Time is tight and we didn’t have time to prepare anything. Wanwan, your parents just brought you some food.”

If they hadn’t been in such a hurry to get here, the army would have had more time and could have prepared more.

But this is not a small amount, enough for my daughter to eat for a while.

When Lu Wan saw what Lu Jun took out, she felt filled with love.

Whether in the previous life or this life, her parents loved her as always.

But in her previous life, she disappointed her parents and even killed her father who loved her so much.

Thinking of this, Lu Wan’s eyes turned red.

Lu Jun saw Lu Wan’s reaction and hurriedly said, “Wan Wan, what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying? Don’t you like the food that Dad brought?

Tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll buy it for you later~”

Lu Wan forced a smile, sniffed and said, “Dad, no, I like to eat them all.

I just think you are so kind to me. You came all the way here and brought me so many delicious foods.”

Lu Jun thought it was nothing. Hearing Lu Wan’s words, Lu Jun touched Lu Wan’s head lovingly and said with a smile, “Silly girl, you are my daughter, and it is only right for me to treat you well.”

“Well, Dad, Mom, let’s prepare lunch, I’m sure you’re hungry too?

What do you want to eat? I’ll go and make it for you!” Lu Wan asked hurriedly.

Yang Ling said, “Wan Wan, let me cook. Don’t you like the food I cook? It’s rare for me to come here, so I’ll cook for you. You won’t be able to eat it when my parents go back to Kyoto.”

Yang Ling is a good cook. In order to ensure that her husband and daughter could eat well, Yang Ling even found a chef to learn cooking skills from.

Lu Wan felt that the food she cooked was even better than that in state-owned restaurants.

After Lu Wan went to the countryside, she didn’t eat the meals cooked by Yang Ling for a long time and missed it a lot.

It’s not just because Yang Ling’s food is delicious, but most importantly, it has the taste of her mother’s.

Having disappointed her parents too much in her previous life, Lu Wan also cares particularly about this family relationship in this life.

Although she missed the food Yang Ling cooked, Lu Wan still said, “Mom, you and Dad have traveled such a long time to get here. It’s so tiring. You should take a good rest.

Let me cook for lunch today. After you guys have rested, mom will cook for me!”

As Lu Wan spoke, she started to get busy. She asked Yang Ling and Lu Jun to sit down and not let them come to the kitchen to interfere.

Yang Ling was thinking about going over to help, but Lu Jun pulled her back and said, “My daughter has grown up and is sensible now. Let her do her work!”

“Well… okay then…”

Lu Wan went to the kitchen and started preparing food.

Her parents brought bacon and sausages. Lu Wan cut a plate of sausages and steamed them directly on the rice. It was very fragrant.

I also cut some bacon and fried it with the fresh bamboo shoots that Su Jinju gave me.

I also fried a plate of lettuce and cooked a bowl of seaweed, shrimp and egg drop soup.

Three dishes and one soup are enough for a family of three.

Lu Wan is a good cook. Not only do the dishes she cooks taste good, but the presentation of the dishes also makes people feel appetizing.

Lu Jun and Yang Ling were sitting in the main room and could already smell the aroma of the food.

Lu Jun asked curiously, “Lingling, do you think this is the dish cooked by our Wanwan? Why is it so fragrant? Or is it a dish made by other educated youth?”

“I think so?” There was uncertainty in her tone.

After all, Lu Wan didn’t know how to cook when she was at home.

While the couple was grumbling, Lu Wan had cooked the food and served it to the table one by one. She called out to Lu Jun and Yang Ling, “Dad, Mom, the food is ready. How about you try my cooking?”

As soon as Lu Jun saw the three dishes and one soup on the table, he began to praise them before he even tasted them. “My Wanwan has really grown up. Now she cooks all the dishes on the table in a very nice way. Mom and Dad are in for a treat this time.”

Yang Ling was also very pleased.

The fact that Lu Wan can cook such a meal shows that she can take care of herself outside. How can she not be happy?

“Dad, Mom, please eat quickly.” Lu Wan urged with a smile.

“Okay, okay, Dad will try it.” Lu Jun had a smile on his face. At this moment, he felt that he was very happy.

Lu Jun picked up the chopsticks and tasted the fried bamboo shoots with bacon made by Lu Wan.

The bacon is very fragrant, and the fresh bamboo shoots have absorbed the flavor of the bacon, making them crisp and delicious.

“Delicious!” Lu Jun gave his evaluation quickly.

As he spoke, Lu Jun quickly picked up a piece of fresh bamboo shoots and continued eating.

Originally, he thought it would be great if his daughter could cook a home-cooked meal.

Who knew my daughter could cook such delicious meals.

“Lingling, you should try it too. Our Wanwan’s cooking skills are amazing.” While Lu Jun was eating, he did not forget to urge Yang Ling.

Only then did Yang Ling smile, pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

After tasting it, Yang Ling was as amazed as Lu Jun.

This cooking skill is even better than the food she cooks.

“Well, Wanwan is amazing, the dishes she cooks are so delicious!” Yang Ling also praised her generously.

In her previous life, Lu Wan spent little time living with her parents, and since there was a nanny at home, she basically never cooked for her parents.

Now that I think about it, I was really unfilial.

She can cook for a scumbag like Jiang Qingguo, but she can’t serve her parents wholeheartedly.

Never again in this life.

When I have the chance in the future, I will bring my parents to live with me and fulfill my filial duties to them.

“Dad, Mom, eat more if you like it.” Lu Wan said.

“Okay, okay, with such delicious food, Mom and Dad will definitely eat more.”

There were three dishes and one soup, and the portions were not small, but in the end the whole family finished them all, without even any soup left.

Looking at the happy and satisfied smiles on her parents’ faces, Lu Wan also felt happy at this moment.

Even though I wasn’t with Jiang Qingguo in this life, everything can start over again and everything can be different.

After lunch, Lu Wan planned to clean up a room so that her parents could rest in the afternoon.

However, there were no extra rooms at the educated youth site, only a storage room.

We have to clean up and move out the clutter before we can live here.
