Chapter 761: Returning on a Snowy Night
The final potato vermicelli is snow-white and crystal clear, and it tastes like a different flavor, which is also full of praise.
After teaching them Mangosteen, there was nothing Qiao Xiaoru could do, seeing that her abdomen was getting bigger and bigger day by day, Lu Zhan had been gone for nearly a month and had not returned.
Not to mention her, even the Tian family began to be a little worried, and couldn't help but run to Lu Zhan's dead father's spiritual seat to burn incense and ask for blessings in the morning and evening.
Qiao Xiaoru couldn't cry or laugh when she found out, but comforted her well.
At the same time, you should be relieved of yourself.
Although she believes that with Lu Zhan's ability, no matter what happens outside, it will definitely not be difficult to get out of the way.
However, he has been gone for so long and has not returned, which still makes people's hearts decline.
In addition, the mood of pregnant people is already susceptible to fluctuations, and Qiao Xiaoru's mood is even more depressed.
In the evening, the sun disappeared silently, the wind blew in gusts, the leaves and branches rattled, and the sand and rocks flew away. A layer of dark clouds drifted from nowhere in the sky, and the weather instantly cooled down.
The clouds were piling up, and the wind was blowing harder.
Families were busy closing windows, collecting clothes, and collecting all kinds of things to dry.
"I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily!"
"It's time for the rain to come down, it's been hot for so many days."
Everyone looked at the sky, blowing the cool wind, and laughed and discussed.
Qiao Xiaoru asked Mangosteen to tell Mo Shi to make dinner earlier, in such weather, he ate dinner early to wash up and go to bed.
Mangosteen smiled and agreed.
The rain brewed from evening to dark, and after holding back enough energy, it fell heavily.
Thunder thundered through the dark night, and before anyone could come to their senses, the thunder rumbled, and the rain poured down like a river bursting its banks, and the wind and rain knocked on the windows, and in the blink of an eye, the sound of the rain on the eaves of the porch sounded.
At this time, Mangosteen and Star Fruit had already accompanied Qiao Xiaoru back to the room and closed the doors and windows.
The room is brightly lit, and the yellow hue gives it a warm feeling.
Especially against the backdrop of the storm, lightning and thunder outside the house, the clean, refreshing and warm room is even more precious and cherished and comfortable.
"Go back and rest, and I'll go to sleep later." Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile.
Her belly was not big enough to leave people around her, and besides, she didn't want anyone to stay in her and Lu Zhan's bedroom.
Mangosteen and star fruit knew her habits, and after two admonitions, they retreated and left, carefully closing the door for her.
Listening to the sound of rain and thunder outside the window, Qiao Xiaoru felt a little uneasy in her heart, perhaps because of the torrential rain and wind outside the window, it was easier for people to worry about their relatives who left home in such weather.
I wanted to go to bed early, but for some reason, I sat at the table and listened to the wind and rain outside the window, but for no reason I couldn't move my steps.
I don't know how long it took, the light and shadow flickered, as if it was about to go out, Qiao Xiaoru suddenly came back to his senses, and then realized that it was not too early.
Rubbing her eyes and smiling to herself, in the sound of wind and rain, she seemed to hear Lu Zhan calling her.
When the penetrating voice sounded again, Qiao Xiaoru was stunned and hurriedly ran downstairs.
It's him, you can't be wrong, he's back at this time!
opened the door with a bang, and saw that the man was drenched like a chicken in soup, but he smiled at her clearly and warmly, and the long-lost sense of familiarity and closeness suddenly came to his heart, Qiao Xiaoru had a sour nose, and he wanted to cry slightly.
"Y-Why did you come back? Oh no, I didn't mean that, why did you come back in such weather! The more Qiao Xiaoru spoke, the more anxious she became, and the more she spoke, the more unclear she became, and she couldn't help but laugh embarrassedly.
"I was planning to come back today, so naturally I want to go back. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight. You see, you're still waiting for me, so you can see that I'm right. Lu Zhan said with a smile.
Qiao Xiaoru smiled, her mood suddenly eased a lot, and she said angrily, "Who is waiting for you?" They have long since fallen asleep. ”
Lu Zhan just smiled and looked her up and down. Did he fall asleep a long time ago, and he couldn't see it?
"Come in and change out of this outfit first, take a hot shower later, and eat something." Qiao Xiaoru's face was hot, and she reached out to pull him as she spoke.
"Don't," Lu Zhan hurriedly took half a step back to the side, and said with a smile: "I'm wet and cold, don't mess with you, I'll change my clothes, you wait for me!" ”
Qiao Xiaoru smiled slightly, said hello, and sat aside to wait for him.
There was also a wardrobe in the bedroom downstairs, and there were ordinary clothes, and Lu Zhan soon changed into it.
It just so happened that Mo Shi also came over, smiled and said that the hot water had been prepared, and asked Lu Ye what he wanted to eat? That's it.
Qiao Xiaoru pushed Lu Zhan to take a bath, and said with a smile: "There is nothing else at this time, let's order some noodles, I'll wait for you in the kitchen, and you will go over after taking a bath." ”
Lu Zhan looked at her, smiled and nodded.
Mo Shi hurriedly took the poncho and put it on Qiao Xiaoru, and helped her to the kitchen together.
Looking at the heavy rain that was still falling like a curtain of rain, Mo couldn't help but smile and said: "Fortunately, there are verandahs connected everywhere, and it is not troublesome to go to the kitchen at this time, otherwise it is not easy to walk with an umbrella!" ”
Qiao Xiaoru was also quite proud, and said with a smile: "No, I thought about it when I designed this house, how to live comfortably and conveniently!" We rural people don't need to pay attention to those good-looking and fancy things. ”
Mo smiled and praised: "Otherwise, how can you say that Qiao Niangzi is clever!" ”
When the two arrived at the kitchen, Qiao Xiaoru asked Mo Shi to wash the pot and burn the fire, and said with a smile: "I made it for him myself, and Sister-in-law Mo should go back and rest!" ”
Tonight, she just wants to make him a bowl of noodles with her own hands, and she doesn't want to fake others at all.
He was able to brave such a big storm and rush back to accompany her at night, why couldn't she make a bowl of noodles for him?
Seeing that Qiao Xiaoru was resolute and not easy to stop, Mo Shi laughed a few times and said carefully, and put the remaining vegetables, shallots, and beans in the kitchen in the basin before leaving.
Qiao Xiaoru has long been accustomed to cooking, and at this time she is less than five months pregnant, and her movements are still flexible and agile.
Soon, all kinds of green vegetables and side dishes were washed and cut, and set aside for later use.
The meat in this season can't be kept fresh, and the meat at home is bought by Ding Sihai every two days in the city, and if you want to keep it overnight, you have to boil it in boiling water.
It just so happens that there is no more tonight, so I can only fry two eggs and soak a handful of fungus and yuba.
When Lu Zhan took a shower and entered the kitchen, the noodles were already in the pot, and the fungus, yuba, and vegetables were floating in the soup, wafting out of the homely and warm fragrance.
