Chapter 39: Third Uncle is Reasonable

 Chapter 39: Third Uncle is Reasonable

After thinking for a moment, Lu Sanzhu agreed to the invitation.

Although he was attracted by the large bowl of egg and meat noodles, another reason was that he wanted to build a good relationship with Shu Yu. His cheap niece looked like a wealthy person.

Now it was just one bowl of meat noodles, but in the future, there would be countless bowls of meat noodles, right?

"Okay, since you are my niece, I'll help you out. Can I go in now and eat the noodles?" Lu Sanzhu asked.

"Sure," Shu Yu nodded.

Without hesitation, Lu Sanzhu immediately ran into the kitchen. Although Ruan Shi and her family had already served the noodles, they were all worried that Shu Yu would suffer from Lu Sanzhu's hands. They anxiously watched the kitchen door.

As soon as Lu Sanzhu walked in, he wanted to reach for the larger bowl, but he heard a cough from behind.

He turned his hand and put it down on the larger bowl.

"Sister-in-law, I'll take this bowl of noodles. You can eat slowly. But the portion is quite big. If you can't finish it, just call me. After all, it's not good to keep the noodles till tomorrow in this hot weather," Lu Sanzhu said.

Ruan Shi laughed dryly and watched as Lu Sanzhu walked away with the bowl of noodles.

Once he left, Ruan Shi pulled Shu Yu over and asked her in a low voice, "Did your uncle trouble you?"

"No, he is actually quite reasonable," Shu Yu replied.

Ruan Shi was surprised. Reasonable? Was Shu Yu talking about Lu Sanzhu?

Ruan Shi wanted to ask what they talked about, but she was afraid of being too nosy and making Shu Yu unhappy. In the end, she didn't ask anything.

Shu Yu urged them to eat the noodles quickly. When she saw that there was more meat than noodles in the bowls of her three younger siblings, she picked up two more chopsticks and gave them more meat. "Eat quickly. We have to finish this bowl of noodles tonight. Don't save any for later."

Her three siblings happily buried their heads in the noodles and started eating. When they lifted their heads, their eyes were squinted. "Sister's noodles are so delicious."

"If it's delicious, eat more," Shu Yu said.

Shu Yu smiled. When she was making the noodles earlier, she had already noticed that the Lu family was really short of food. Moreover, when she came back, she asked Da Niu and found out that in this area, people generally only eat two meals a day.

Today, it was only because she was here that the old lady had allowed Ruan Shi to make breakfast for her. So apart from that breakfast, Ruan Shi and the twins probably haven't eaten anything else.

No wonder San Ya and Da Hu were malnourished. They were originally eating porridge with pickles, and they only had two meals a day. It was strange if they could grow well.

Thinking of this, Shu Yu picked up two chopsticks and picked up some egg and meat for the twins.

At this time, Lu Sanzhu had also returned home with his bowl. Liang Shi and Da Bao, who had been waiting in the house, immediately greeted him. When they saw the big bowl of meat and noodles, their eyes lit up.

Liang Shi quickly took out a few bowls to divide the noodles and exclaimed, "I knew that Second Sister-in-law would definitely cook something delicious. Sure enough, she cooked meat. Look at this oily and juicy meat. Second Sister-in-law must be overjoyed to see her daughter, and she was willing to use so much oil."

As she spoke, she had already divided the noodles into three bowls and called her son, "Quickly sit down and eat. This noodle smells really good. When we got married, we never had noodles with so much oil."

Da Bao had already thrown himself onto the table, burying his chubby little face in the bowl, "It's delicious, too delicious. Mom, I want to eat this tomorrow too. This is not enough. You can go and ask San Ya and Da Hu for more later."
