Border Cook

Chapter 30 Grabbing Jobs

Or is it like him, not wanting to feel awkward when they are alone together, so he avoids her on purpose?

Lu Qiyan stood up and walked to the main room, where he saw Xia Mingyue doing needlework at the table in the yard.

At this time, Xia Mingyue's face was full of sleepiness. She yawned from time to time, and the needle in her hand was not very flexible.

Lu Qiyan could even see the faint traces of tears in the corners of Xia Mingyue's eyes when she yawned.

I'm really sleepy.

Yes, just now when we were chatting after lunch, I heard Mrs. Lu mention the business that Xia Mingyue is doing with her now.

The business is extremely good and profitable, but it is also somewhat tiring.

I have to keep track of the time at night and get up early in the morning to prepare fresh ingredients. I don’t get enough sleep at night, so I have to make up for it in the afternoon.

But Xia Mingyue was so sleepy that she refused to go back to the house to rest.

I am more calculative than him.

Lu Qiyan thought for a moment and walked out of the hall.

Noticing Lu Qiyan coming over, Xia Mingyue forcibly suppressed the yawn that was about to burst out and stood up, "Brother Lu, are you ready to rest?"

"I need to go out for something." Lu Qiyan said, "I won't be back until at least dark."

"Then I'll make dinner later." Xia Mingyue said.

"Yeah." Lu Qiyan nodded, without saying anything else, and walked away with big strides. His figure soon disappeared in the apricot blossom alley outside the courtyard wall.

Xia Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly tidied up the needle and thread basket on the table, ran straight to the inner room, took off her shoes, and lay down comfortably.

The whole action was done in one go, and Xia Mingyue also formed a biological clock due to the work and rest schedule during this period. Just a moment after lying down, she had a happy date with Zhou Gong.

When Lu Qiyan was almost at the entrance of the alley, he turned back.

When he walked outside his yard, he found that Xia Mingyue had disappeared from the yard. He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

This Xia Mingyue...

Still cute?

……

After leaving Xinghua Lane, Lu Qiyan wandered aimlessly on the street.

He walked and stopped, looked around along the way, and occasionally, when he was interested, he would ask about the prices of items sold at roadside stalls.

After walking along the street almost to the east gate of the county town, Lu Qiyan turned back and walked west.

Seeing that the sun was still a long way from setting, I deliberately slowed down my pace.

But even so, because of his long legs and daily marching experience, Lu Qiyan still didn't take too long to reach the west city gate.

Lu Qiyan, "..."

Turn around again and continue on the previous path.

It was not until the third time that Lu Qiyan appeared in front of a noodle stall that the old man who was making noodle figurines could no longer help but called out to him, "Sir, did you lose something?"

Lu Qiyan was stunned. "Thank you for your concern, old man. I didn't lose anything."

"So what kind of person or shop are you looking for?"

"nor……"

"Then why are you walking back and forth like this?" The old man really didn't understand.

"This..." Lu Qi was at a loss for words, but he quickly found an excuse, "I ate too much just now and my stomach feels uncomfortable. The doctor told me to walk back and forth to help digestion."

"So that's how it is." The old man laughed so hard that his beard stood up, and he muttered to the vendor selling rice cakes next to him, "See, I told you, this young man is not like what you said, he was kicked out by his wife and had nowhere to go. You didn't believe it before, but now you believe it..."

Lu Qiyan, "..."

He wasn't kicked out.

But he really had nowhere to go at the moment. And since walking back and forth like this was so eye-catching, Lu Qiyan thought for a moment and simply changed direction and went south.

The first thing is to make sure you don’t go back.

The second best thing is to buy something, as if you were deliberately looking for something from afar.

In this way, everything seems less deliberate.

Lu Qiyan did as he had planned. When the sun was half down, Lu Qiyan went to the yard carrying a bamboo hat, two wicker baskets, and two stools in his hands.

Xia Mingyue had already rested and was busy in the kitchen. She was quite surprised to see Lu Qiyan bringing back so many things, "Brother Lu bought so many things?"

But the management in the military camp has always been strict. Apart from daily clothes and common food, other things are basically not allowed to be brought in, and these groceries are even more prohibited.

Lu Qiyan deliberately went out just to buy these things?

Xia Mingyue was a little confused.

Lu Qiyan coughed lightly and said, "I was on my way to do something else, and when I saw it on the way, I bought it."

I really don't know what to buy. These seem to be things that can be used in daily life and don't cost much money.

It turned out to be the case.

Just convenient.

Xia Mingyue didn't think any more about it. She just helped Lu Qiyan pack up all these things and went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

There was still some chicken left from the lunch, but there was less meat and more soup. Xia Mingyue kneaded the dough, pulled it into thin and chewy noodles, and cooked a pot of steaming hot chicken noodles.

Although we had noodles for lunch, the taste and texture of wide noodles and thin noodles were completely different.

Especially the big plate of chicken meat and soup are cooked again, which once again stimulates its original mellow flavor. The thin noodles are also very easy to taste. It feels like the noodles are completely integrated with the soup and are very delicious.

Because he walked a lot in the afternoon and consumed a lot of energy, Lu Qiyan felt his stomach was empty, so he ate to his heart's content.

After finishing three full bowls, Lu Qiyan finally put down his chopsticks.

But at this time he was already a little full.

I felt a little uncomfortable when I sat down.

In desperation, Lu Qiyan had to pace back and forth in the yard to help digestion.

The sound of rustling footsteps sounded in the yard, causing Wu Jin to prick up his ears and stare at Lu Qiyan with his eyes.

I ate a lot, and walked back and forth in the yard at night...

This person is here to steal my job!

Wu Jin shuddered and gave up the idea of ​​taking a nap in his nest. He raised his head and chest, raised his paws, and began to patrol back and forth in the yard.

In order to ensure his status in the family, Wu Jin deliberately walked in front of Lu Qiyan and walked a little faster than him.

Lu Qiyan noticed Wu Jin, but didn't think much about it. He still walked slowly at his previous speed.

After walking around the yard again, Lu Qiyan felt a little bored, so he simply stopped and stood in a horse stance in the yard.

Wu Jin: "..."

Raising the difficulty, right?

Wu Jin's face darkened and he blew out a puff of air from his nostrils. He glared at Lu Qiyan fiercely and then strode around the yard with his head held high.

I don't care about your fancy stuff.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Qiyan felt a little better in his stomach, so he stopped, fetched some water to wash up, and went back to the house to rest.

The general is defeated!

Wu Jin snorted again and continued his patrol.
