Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chapter 520 I'm just praising your mother's cooking skills; the scrambled eggs are so frag

"Isn't that easy?"

Find a young and pretty nanny to help take care of the house. As she takes care of things, she'll eventually become your wife.

That's how so-and-so's nanny got her position, isn't it?

He even claimed that he wasn't there to break up the family, but to join it. And what happened? The original wife passed away less than six months later.

What does this tell us? Men can't be faithful forever!

"Stop talking, stop talking! Look at the way Lu Yuan's mother looks at you, she wants to tear you apart!"

The gossipy man's heart trembled, and he said in a fierce but weak voice, "I didn't say anything wrong!"

"Then let's not talk about it anymore, it's not appropriate!"

The gossip shrugged and stopped talking about the gossip.

Lu Yuan came out of the house and patted Xie Susu on the shoulder: "The innocent are innocent, we don't need to care about other people's speculations!"

Xie Susu nodded: "I just think they have too narrow a perspective."

"Exactly! They start cursing as soon as they sit down to eat? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

As Lu Yuan spoke, he whispered a few words to Brigade Commander He.

Brigade Commander He's smile remained unchanged, but he glanced at them coolly before leaving under the pretext of having something to do.

The others exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

Before long, darkness fell, the guests left one after another, and the Lu family courtyard returned to quiet.

As Lu Yuan cleaned, he kept glancing into the bedroom. He was practically bursting with excitement.

Xie Susu couldn't be bothered to look at his worthless appearance, so she washed her hands and went to the kitchen to cook.

Seeing that Xia Zhao was about to leave, he quickly said, "Zhao Zhao, wait a moment, finish your meal before you go!"

"No need, Auntie, I..."

"You and Xiao Ji stay here and eat your fill before you leave."

He glanced outside and lowered his voice, saying, "There are too many people outside right now, it's not convenient for a date."

You two wait two hours, then go out for a walk or something, and get to know each other better!

"Auntie, please don't make things worse. My relationship with Comrade Ji is purely platonic and respectful."

"I didn't say you two were messing around, but young people in love can't avoid spending time alone together."

Back then, Xiaoyuan and Manman even secretly held hands in the movie theater!

Xia Zhao blushed and asked, "Auntie, how did you know?"

"They were dating, and the other kids in the compound saw them and came back to tell me. They even said they..."

"Oh dear, I can't mention it, or Manman will turn on me when she wakes up!"

Xie Susu smiled as she washed the vegetables, and Xia Zhao helped chop them. The two of them quickly finished preparing dinner.

There are hot and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, dry-fried green beans, as well as wood ear mushrooms and yam, stir-fried mushrooms, and winter melon and meatball soup.

In addition to two main dishes, egg pancakes and stir-fried dried tofu with cured pork, there were a total of eight dishes, with generous portions.

The staple food was dark-colored steamed buns, which were steamed in two large steamer baskets in advance.

As the bright moon rose in the east, Xie Susu called out "Dinner's ready!" into the house. He Jingcheng quickly rolled out, picked up the egg pancake, and smelled it several times with great relish.

"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are comparable to those of a head chef in a state-run restaurant!"

Xie Susu laughed heartily: "Your praise of me is less effective than flattering Xiaohua!"

"Why?" He Jingcheng asked, puzzled. Just as he was about to ask more, Xiao Hua pecked his ankle.

He jumped up and down in pain, groaning, but the plate in his hand remained firmly in place.

Finally back home, she wiggled her bottom and hid behind Lu Yuan, saying, "What's wrong with your little hen? She's almost pecked my ankle until it bleeds."

Lu Yuan reached out and grabbed Xiao Hua's wing, asking, "What did you do to it? My Xiao Hua never pecks people!"

"I...I didn't do anything! I just praised your mother's cooking, saying the scrambled eggs smelled delicious!"
