Chapter 914: Chapter 0914 Like-minded People 2

Although they hadn’t slept well all night, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue still got up early the next morning to cook.

Qingxue was concerned about the waste items she hadn’t had time to take from the recycling station and also wanted to know if the things hidden in the secret compartment belonged to the Guan Family, so as she kneaded the dough, she rambled on to Lu Jiang.

She was making scallion pancakes, and Lu Jiang had pulled a large bunch of scallions from their plot, pinched off the roots, peeled them, and after washing, chopped them finely.

Listening to her continuous chatter, Lu Jiang not only didn’t feel annoyed but actually found it very pleasant to listen to. As she talked on and on, the dough was kneaded over and over again, he couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Let’s take it easy, take it easy. If we have the chance to retrieve them, we will, and if not, there’s no need to fret about it, right? At least we saved some of it."

Qingxue’s response was to stick out her tongue at him and make a face.

This person really... couldn’t she ramble a bit? Didn’t he know that rambling is in some women’s nature?

There was only a little peanut oil left at the bottom of the oil jar. Qingxue glanced around, then fetched a jar of lard from her space. At that moment, she secretly rejoiced that she had taken the time to render lard in the past. She had plenty stored in her space, ready for use at any time.

She mixed two kinds of dough, one with white flour, the other with whole-wheat flour.

The children would eat white flour pancake, while the adults had whole-wheat ones, which also didn’t look too conspicuous when brought to the elders in the cattle shed.

Just as the whole-wheat pancakes were done, Xibao put on his clothes and shoes by himself and came looking for them, rubbing his eyes, "Daddy! Mommy! Where did you go? I couldn’t find you guys, I cried, I was so sad!"

"Oh, you cried? How come I heard you were all thunder and no rain?" Qingxue didn’t fall for it.

Xibao let out a sheepish laugh, not embarrassed in the slightest, peeked into the bamboo basket at the pancakes, his eyes lit up, "Mommy, scallion pancakes, oh, your big baby loves them so much!"

Qingxue took a stack of ten scallion pancakes, wrapped them in cheesecloth, and placed them in a small backpack, then hung the backpack on her son’s shoulders.

"Son, I am entrusting you with a great mission!"

Xibao immediately snapped a salute, "Please give your orders, leader!"

The crispness and precision of his movement were no different from a soldier’s salute.

Qingxue stifled a smile, "Go to the cattle shed and call Grandpa to come back for a meal, then distribute the pancakes in the backpack to the other grandpas and grandmas, one pancake per person, remember, one per person."

"Mission guaranteed to be accomplished!"

Xibao scampered off to the cattle shed and, seeing Aunt Xu and Wenyue cooking, he promptly presented his big, smiling face, "Grandma, Grandma, don’t busy yourself, Mommy sent me to bring pancakes, delicious scallion pancakes, oh so tasty!"

Aunt Xu was taken aback and reached into the backpack, pulling out the scallion pancakes still wrapped in cheesecloth and warm, the smell of lard wafting straight to her nose.

"Xibao, you’re such a good boy, did your mommy send you?"

Xibao nodded his own head, "One for each person, remember, one for each. I’m looking for Grandpa to eat! Grandpa!"

With his empty little backpack behind him, he ran into the house shouting.

Lu Jiang’s father was knocked back a few steps by the impact, reached out to embrace him, smiling broadly, "Alright, alright, Grandpa is going to eat with you now. Come on, greet the other grandpas in the house."

"Hello, Grandpas!" Xibao didn’t forget to bow respectfully.

He had been playing in the cattle shed all afternoon and evening yesterday, calling out ’grandpa’ and ’grandma’ to everyone, and all the elders had grown quite fond of him. Anyone who saw such a cute-looking and sweet-talking child couldn’t help but like him.
