Chapter 27 The Coal Cake Stove
Zhou Huilan went home to put down her things, and when she went out again, Lu Changqing was sitting on a tricycle, blocking the door of her house, smiling like a fool, showing her big white teeth.

It looked like Zhou Huilan's goosebumps.

"Doctor Lu, you are..." Seeing Lu Changqing, she immediately thought of the bowl of noodles with fried sauce that she hadn't eaten last night. Legs, now is a good time to go." To avoid going back to catch up with her meal, grab her meal.

But Zhou Huilan didn't say the latter sentence.

Lu Changqing hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, I heard from the neighbors that you are going to buy coal briquettes. I thought it would be inconvenient for you to be a woman with a child and have to take care of the elderly, so I'll just go and get you back."

Before finishing a few words, Lu Changqing's fair face was already flushed red. After all, he really had some ulterior motives in his heart.

Although Lu Changqing always went home these two days, Zhou Huilan could see clearly the situation between old man Lu and Granny Duan and her mother-in-law's attitude towards Lu Changqing in the past two days. The old lady had a feud with the Lu family.

"No need, I'll just go there by myself."

After Zhou Huilan finished speaking, she lifted her foot and left.

When she was approaching the intersection, she turned around and found that Lu Changqing was still following her.

Zhou Huilan was taken aback. In her previous life and this life combined, Wang Jianye and Yaoyao's father, who had never met, were two rotten peach blossoms. She had no experience in the relationship between men and women, and her foodie thinking was the dominant one.

A handsome guy like Lu Changqing followed her, don't say anything about his spring heart, Zhou Huilan's first reaction was that this bastard still wanted to steal her food.

His face darkened at that moment, "Doctor Lu, if you have anything to do, just say it."

Lu Changqing hesitated for a while, then suddenly jumped off the tricycle, "Comrade Zhou Huilan, I want you to be my sister-in-law's teacher and teach her to cook."

In an instant, Zhou Huilan's two eyebrows almost became one.

She... taught people to cook?
In addition to being shocked, Zhou Huilan was indeed a little proud. After all, Lu Changqing ate these two meals, all made by her hand without any tricks.

"I can pull briquettes for you and take care of Granny Duan. You don't need to teach a lot, just two or three home-cooked meals are enough." Lu Changqing spoke earnestly and sincerely.

Zhou Huilan didn't answer directly. She crossed her arms and shook the handlebar of Lu Changqing's tricycle, "That's the way I cook. Are you sure you want me to teach you?"

She is still a little self-aware, and it tastes better than ordinary home-cooked food, but she is far from being a teacher.

"Sure!"

"Then lend me your tricycle first, return it to you later, and go to your tutor to teach you how to cook."

Lu Changqing still wanted to go to help in person, but Zhou Huilan had already stepped on the tricycle and rode far away.

Lu Changqing, who was standing there, let out a long sigh of relief. The big stone that had been on his heart for a whole day finally fell to the ground.

It's not that he doesn't feel Zhou Huilan's defense against him, and he hasn't always been so thick-skinned. It's just that, whether it's at home or in a restaurant, he can't eat any delicacies made by star chefs.

Only the food cooked by Zhou Huilan can make him salivate just because of the taste, so he visits the door again and again regardless of face, but he also understands that this is not a long-term solution.

Zhou Huilan rode a tricycle to pull a load of briquettes home, only to find that the alley was too narrow for the tricycle to enter at the door.

She could only move in one pile at a time. She had struggled to walk in the alley, and when she was holding things, she was sweating all over after walking a few times.

But seeing Yaoyao's little face darkened, she mustered all her strength to help her take one piece at a time, and instantly regained her strength.

Lu Changqing was tidying up the traditional Chinese medicine cabinet in the pharmacy, and when he heard the noise outside, he glanced outside the door and saw that the small door of Duan's house was open, and Yaoyao with a small black face was like a door god, keeping the onlookers out , while Zhou Huilan was transporting coal briquettes home.

Old neighbors for many years, but Granny Duan doesn't interact with the neighbors. These people are actually very curious about the small courtyard of the Duan family. After all, they all know that the houses on this half of the street were originally owned by the Duan family, and they were reformed later. It was forced to be distributed to them.

The yard that the mother-in-law left for herself must be the best.

"This is my house! You are not allowed to enter!" Yaoyao held the door frame with both hands, looking aggressive.

But those old men and old ladies didn't pay attention to a child at all. When Zhou Huilan moved coal balls in, there were one or two disrespectful old people who reached out to grab the child.

Seeing that Yaoyao was about to be dragged down, a pair of big hands suddenly protected the child behind her, "What are you doing!"

Lu Changqing yelled angrily, and the old people were all stunned. When they saw that it was Lu Changqing, some turned their heads and left, while some still laughed and played sloppy.

"Doctor Lu, we are just joking with the children, it's nothing to worry about."

Zhou Huilan, who heard the movement, trotted over. Seeing that her daughter was fine, she pushed Lu Changqing away and walked to the front.

"Are you kidding? What a joke, let me listen to it and see if it's funny."

Zhou Huilan blocked Lu Changqing tightly by herself, and put on a haughty face as if she was about to hit someone, only then did the elders and aunts realize that she was not easy to mess with.

Originally, she thought she was a woman with a half-grown daughter. If she was so fat, she would probably not be able to give birth to a son and be kicked out by the man in the family.

There was also the old man who sold himself on the old, felt that he had lost face by Zhou Huilan's scolding, and retorted without any fear, "You girl, why don't you have any dignity at all, the adults at home didn't teach you to speak well!"

Zhou Huilan stepped forward directly, "My mother is dead, why don't you go down and ask her, why don't you teach me how to speak?"

"You!" The old man stretched out his hand and wanted to hit someone.

Zhou Huilan was about to fight back, but Lu Changqing grabbed the old man's arm first, "Uncle Li, you are a man after all, why did you start fighting with women?"

Lu Changqing was handsome and fair, with a smile on his face, and he was easy to talk to.

But Uncle Li's forearm was pinched by him, and half of his body became numb in just a moment, and he couldn't move.

After all, the stubborn old man was old and didn't believe in evil. He tried his best to get rid of Lu Changqing, but his face was so red that he couldn't even move.

"Uncle Li, I'm not good at learning. Do you want to ask my grandpa to show you the bones?" Lu Changqing let go of his hand while speaking, and then Uncle Li took two steps back, gave Lu Changqing a vicious look, turned his head and left.

It's not that Zhou Huilan has never lived in an urban village in her previous life, but at that time her neighbors were mostly hardworking migrant workers. She had never met such a top-notch neighbor who relied on the old to sell the old.
