Chapter 173: Still Can't Say
(I said that I had a good free chapter, and I also gave an extra 1,000 words as compensation)
When Lin Xu heard this, he didn't know how to answer, and for a while, he felt that there was a weight that life could not bear. Yue Xianyun's closest person, he neither wants to be nor can afford to be. It's a pity that he had already promised Song Yonghua last night, and he had to take care of and protect Yue Xianyun.
After thinking about it, he sighed slightly in his heart, and didn't answer, just walked out of the elevator. When he stepped out of the elevator, he quietly shook off Yue Xianyun's hand, and then led her to the door, took out the key to open the door.
After opening the door, he first changed his slippers at the shoe cabinet at the door. Yue Xianyun followed up, also changed his slippers next to him, and took a new pair.
This house was bought by her, and everything in it was also prepared by her for Lin Xu, and she was naturally very familiar with everything. When she picked up the new slippers, she saw several pairs of used ones in the shoe cabinet and asked, "Have you had any guests in your house?"
"Oh!" Lin Xu glanced at the shoe cabinet and said, "The day before yesterday, my family came to see me, stayed for one night, and played in the city by the way." ”
"Yes, then you should inform me!" Yue Xianyun said: "I know Pingyang well, I can be a tour guide for you to have fun." And I am a landlord, and I should also be allowed to do my best as a landlord. ”
During the two days of the weekend, Lin Xu wished she didn't know, and of course he wouldn't inform her. But he couldn't say this, so he didn't answer the stubble when he heard it, but after walking in, he pointed to the sofa and said, "You can sit casually!"
Yue Xianyun just mentioned it in passing, and seeing that he didn't take it, he didn't continue the topic. After hearing this, he went over and sat down on the sofa.
After Lin Xu followed, he didn't sit down and asked, "Have you had lunch?"
Yue Xianyun shook his head and sighed, "No, I'm not in the mood to eat, and I can't eat it!"
Lin Xu said: "You should still eat some, how can you do it without eating." I didn't eat either, so I'll make you some together, okay?"
"Do you still know how to cook?" Yue Xianyun couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
Lin Xu said: "It's a little simple, the children of the peasants have been in charge of the family for a long time, haven't you heard of it? I came from the countryside, my parents used to work in the fields, and I cooked at home." ”
Lin Xu didn't mention it, Yue Xianyun really forgot his background, because he didn't look like he was from the countryside at all now. He has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and his parents have never let him go to the ground, plus he is naturally delicate, very much like the kind of person who has not gone out since he was a child and was raised rich. Although after he practiced martial arts, his physique quickly improved and became stronger, but in appearance, he still showed a graceful spirit. Even though I have grown a lot taller, if I don't take off my clothes and show my strong muscles, I still don't show much strength.
After hearing this, Yue Xianyun couldn't help but say, "Then you are very hard!"
Lin Xu shook his head and said: "I'm not hard, it's not difficult to cook, it's quite simple, and it's hard to work in the field." ”
Speaking of which, I couldn't help but sigh when I remembered the difficult days at home when I was a child. Fortunately, the conditions are much better now, and his father's salary has been much higher since he was transferred to the township to work, and his main income no longer needs to rely on the land, so the family's few acres of land are just to grow some wheat and other grains, and he doesn't have to bother too much to take care of them often. You don't have to worry too much about the harvest, just enough for your own food. It's just a pity that although he is now worth millions, most of the money can't see the light of day, and he can't explain it to his parents, so it's not easy to take it out to help the family.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think about it for a while, how to find a reasonable and suitable way to make money, so that his parents could believe that he could make money, and then take out the money.
He had been thinking about this for a long time, but he had been doing a lot of things recently, but he couldn't take care of it.
"Then your parents, are they still farming?" asked Yue Xianyun.
"Now the conditions are much better, not so hard. Lin Xu replied casually, he didn't want to continue the topic, turned around and walked to the refrigerator, opened the door to see what food village was inside, and decided what to cook.
Originally, he was alone, and he was lazy to cook by himself, and last time, in order to eliminate the ingredients prepared by Yue Xianyun that could not be stored for a long time, he deliberately came back and did it himself. But after his parents came over on the weekend, his mother added a lot of ingredients to his refrigerator, and told him to eat out less if he had nothing to do, which was not very healthy, and he should try to make it himself when he had time.
Mother's kindness, of course, he can only accept it helplessly. So now the refrigerator is full again.
The day before yesterday, his parents came over, and in fact, they brought him a lot of steamed steamed buns at home, vegetables grown in his own field, and some processed semi-finished food. He immediately took a few steamed buns, selected some ingredients that could not be stored for a long time, and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
"I'll help you!" Yue Xianyun was very interested in his ability to cook, so he got up and came over to help, and by the way, he saw how he did it.
"No, you just sit. In addition to being polite, Lin Xu really didn't want her to help. With Yue Xianyun's family conditions, of course, it is impossible to cook, and I am afraid that he has never entered the kitchen. asked her to help, Lin Xu was afraid that the more she helped, the more chaotic she became.
But Yue Xianyun didn't listen and insisted on coming over to help.
Lin Xu was helpless, so he arranged a simple one for her to peel potatoes.
There is a special skin scraper, and it is actually very simple to peel the ingredients. And although Yue Xianyun hadn't done it before, he was also a martial arts practitioner in the end, and there was still no problem with the movement coordination in his hands. After Lin Xu gave a little guidance, she quickly learned how to get started.
After peeling the potatoes, there was nothing else that Yue Xianyun needed to help with. Because what Lin Xu planned to do was originally to fry only one shredded potato, and the rest was basically semi-finished food brought by his parents.
In the end, he made a plate of fried shredded potatoes, cut a plate of braised beef and a plate of cold lotus root slices. Both of these were brought by his parents, the braised beef only needs to be sliced with a knife, and the lotus root slices are also blanched in advance, he only needs to add some seasonings and mix it. In addition, there are fried meatballs, and he made a simple meatball soup, a total of three dishes and one soup, and the staple food is six hot steamed buns.
Beef is more expensive, and his family is usually reluctant to eat it, which is still prepared for the Spring Festival, and the rest is still up to now. The weather is still cold, and Li Feiyan at home also paid for a refrigerator, so it can still be stored until now.
Yue Xianyun was not in the mood to eat, but since it was made by Lin Xu herself, she ate with great interest, and felt that it was not good to waste a piece of Lin Xu's heart. When eating, he repeatedly praised Lin Xu's craftsmanship and deliciousness. In fact, Lin Xu's craftsmanship is average, and the ordinary home-style taste is comparable to that of a professional chef.
It's just that the people who cook are different, and Yue Xianyun feels very fragrant when he eats it. Especially thinking about the fact that I was helping to cook in the kitchen with Lin Xu just now, and now we are eating together, and I still feel a little bit at home. Thinking like this, I couldn't help but blush and bow my head and snicker.
After eating, she felt much better, and her face was not as pale as before.
After cleaning up after eating and sitting on the sofa again, Yue Xianyun solemnly said to Lin Xu: "Lin Xu, thank you, you accompanied me last time when my dad was away, and now that Uncle Song is gone, you are still with me." I really don't know what would happen to me without you?"
Lin Xu said: "Yes, are we also friends!"
And now, it's not just that simple friendship, it's also his responsibility. Since he has promised Song Yonghua, he must do it.
"Thank you for always treating me as a friend. Yue Xianyun smiled, and then couldn't help but think of Chen Yating, a best friend who had been a friend since childhood, and sighed sadly: "Now, I am the only friend you can be by my side and have always supported me!"
"Uncle Song died, and I was really sad. However, shouldn't he have lied to me all the time, and I still believed in him so much? It turned out that Grandpa Chen was really behind the murder of my father. Thinking about how kind and kind he used to be to me, it turned out to be all fake. I've known him since I was a kid and we're very close. I don't have a grandfather myself, and I've always treated him as my own grandfather. Unexpectedly, he not only mercilessly let people kill my father, but also wanted people to arrest me...... So how can he do it to me?"
Speaking of this, I couldn't help crying again.
Lin Xu looked at it, thought about it in his heart, and went over and sat next to her. Gently put his arm around her shoulders and gave her wordless comfort.
"Uncle Song is also so ruthless and ruthless, he even let people kill Tingting, and Tingting keeps calling him uncle, how can he do it? Fortunately, Tingting was rescued by that Liu Guoming, otherwise I would ......"
But he didn't know what to say later, so he just turned around and threw himself into Lin Xu's arms and cried. I also know in my heart that even if Chen Yating escapes, the two will definitely have no friends to do in the future, but will turn against each other, and Chen Yating will treat her as a mortal enemy who must be killed. The deaths of her grandfather, her uncle, and her brother will all be counted on Yue Xianyun's head.
At this time, Yue Xianyun didn't know the truth, and she knew that Song Yonghua had deceived her first, so she no longer believed Song Yonghua's previous words, thinking that Chen Yanfei's death was also done by Song Yonghua.
Lin Xu kept churning and hesitating in his heart, but in the end, he still didn't have the courage to tell Yue Xianyun the truth. Not only did he not say the truth about Chen Yanfei's death, but he also didn't say that when Song Yonghua died last night, he was actually at the scene, and he also agreed to Song Yonghua's last wish.
Fortunately, none of Song Yonghua's subordinates survived last night. Otherwise, if someone survived and talked to Yue Xianyun, Yue Xianyun had seen his Skywalker costume and knew his identity, and after hearing someone describe his dress, he would definitely know that it was him.
He didn't know what Yue Xianyun would think after he said it all, and whether he was still willing to accept his care and protection. If Yue Xianyun himself is unwilling and does not cooperate, then it will be difficult for him to do his protection work. It's better to intervene as a "friend who has nothing to do with this matter" as now, at least Yue Xianyun will not push him away, reject him, and avoid him.
At this stage, there must still be some remnants on the Chen family's side that have not been cleaned up. These people might take risks and do something crazy, which would be detrimental to Yue Xianyun. So during this period, he had to protect Yue Xianyun's safety. Even if he wanted to say it, he couldn't say it now, he didn't want to make any surprises.
