Lu Hanqing, who had always been kind and simple, was immediately filled with sympathy when he heard that Mr. Fang had a bad stomach, and said that he would cook well for Mr. Fang.

Lu Chaoyan could only sigh, it was normal for children to be simple-minded.

After coming out, Fang Yanzhang and Shang Lijun Si Zhengyan were already sitting at the dinner table.

Seeing Lu Hanqing, he smiled gently, "You must be Hanqing, just treat it as your own home, don't be afraid."

"okay."

Lu Hanqing was still a little timid. Although he didn't know Mr. Fang's identity, he was inexplicably afraid of him.

He sat next to Si Zhengyan, and Lu Chaoyan sat opposite him, next to Shang Lijun.

Today's dishes were made by Si Zhengyan: stewed cabbage with tofu, stir-fried bamboo shoots with shrimps, stewed chicken with potatoes, stir-fried vegetables, and stir-fried shredded pork with peppers.

Fang Yanzhang tried everything, and he ate the stronger-flavored chicken with potatoes and chili peppers the most.

"This is the real food, it goes well with rice. Those bland ones are the same as not eating anything."

Lu Chaoyan held the bowl and said with a smile: "This is troublesome. Your blood pressure is a bit high. You need to eat light food. You should abstain from food for half a year. When your body and stomach are fully recovered, you still need to abstain from food, otherwise my efforts will be in vain."

"I'm hiring a housekeeper!"

Fang Yanzhang ate even more happily, "You can't give it up all at once. You have to give me something strong-smelling for every meal, otherwise I won't be able to eat."

Lu Chaoyan could tell his food preferences on the train.

"Okay, I'll go to the market this afternoon. If there are any mushrooms, I'll buy two pounds and make two jars of mushroom sauce. I'll keep them there and cook for you."

"Okay, okay, I love that taste. Add more red pepper and less meat. Don't make me the shrimp paste here. I can't stand the fishy smell." Fang Yanzhang said with his mouth watering.

"I don't know how to make the shrimp paste here. My mom taught me how to make the mushroom and diced meat pickles. I wonder if I can make them taste the same way."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the taste is similar!"

Lu Hanqing, who was eating silently below, glanced at the third sister and admired her from the bottom of her heart. Mr. Fang looked so fierce, so why wasn't she afraid?

After dinner, he followed Si Zhengyan to clean the kitchen and living room, then returned to his bedroom to pack his clothes and books.

Seeing the guards patrolling outside the back garden, my heart began to beat fast again.

In the afternoon, there was nothing to do, so Lu Chaoyan continued to lie in bed and sleep, while Si Zhengyan chatted with Mr. Fang upstairs.

At around four o'clock, Lu Chaoyan got up. She ran outside for a walk and brought back a basket of vegetables, fruits, mushrooms and three pounds of meat from the space.

Lu Hanqing was responsible for cleaning, and Lu Chaoyan took over.

Shiitake mushroom and diced meat sauce is easy to make. Slice the coriander, green onion, ginger, garlic and onion and put them into a pan with oil and fry until fragrant. Add the diced fat meat and fry until the oil comes out. Then add the lean meat and stir-fry until it changes color. Add the diced mushrooms and cook until there is no water left.

Lu Chaoyan filled three glass jars and stored them in the cupboard, to be eaten with steamed buns and noodles.

For dinner, she cooked millet porridge and fried five vegetarian dishes with sautéed garlic. The taste was refreshing and went perfectly with steamed buns with meat sauce.

Fang Yanzhang was enjoying the meal, but Lu Chaoyan was not interested because there was no meat and she was greedy.

After dinner, Si Zhengyan took her out for a walk, found a restaurant specializing in meatballs, and ordered her a big bowl of beef meatballs.

Lu Chaoyan knew that he was not full either, so she ordered a bowl of cuttlefish balls and a portion of steamed dumplings for him, and a portion of shrimp balls for Lu Hanqing, and packed them up in an aluminum box to take away.

After returning home, Si Zhengyan slept in the same room with Lu Hanqing. Si Zhengyan gave him the meatballs, and the young man ate them with tears in his eyes.

"Third brother, you are so kind."

He hadn't eaten enough today, and was afraid that Mr. Fang would dislike him for eating too much.

Si Zhengyan smiled and said, "Although Mr. Fang is frugal, he is not stingy. You should eat when you need to. Don't be embarrassed. Otherwise, how can we get along in the future?"

Lu Hanqing couldn't understand, "But I am afraid. Why aren't you and Third Sister afraid of him? Am I too timid?"

Si Zhengyan rubbed his head and said, "You are afraid of the fear you imagine in your mind, not Mr. Fang. Once you get along with Mr. Fang for a long time, everything will be fine."

"I hope so. I don't know when my aunt will be back."

Lu Hanqing was depressed again.

"Go to sleep, it's okay."

Si Zhengyan believed that Lu Chaoyan would not joke about Ji Lao's life.

Lu Chaoyan slept in the space for a night, which was a rare occasion. When she came out the next day, she felt full of energy and as bright as peach blossoms in March.

Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Shang Lijun drove and took Lu Hanqing and Si Zhengyan out to buy groceries. The three of them were just about to enter the mall.

Lu Hanqing ran into Sister Wu, who worked as a maid for the Ji family. She had already bought the food and was ready to leave.

Seeing Lu Hanqing, she was very surprised, "Hanqing, didn't you go back to your hometown?"

"I didn't reply. How is my uncle now? Has the antidote been found? Has my aunt replied?"

Lu Hanqing was always thinking about his uncle.

Sister Wu has known Lu Hanqing for three months and knows him very well. She knows that Ji Xiaoxiao is deliberately targeting him, which can be seen from the way they usually get along.

However, with Madam Ji in charge, Ji Xiaoxiao didn't dare to go too far.

"Miss Ji hasn't come back yet. I heard from the old lady that the specific medicine has not been found. Alas, I'm afraid that if we delay too long, even if we find the medicine, we won't be able to save the old gentleman." Sister Wu also had a worried look on her face.

Lu Hanqing got anxious when she heard this, "Sister Wu, please tell my aunt that my third sister can cure my uncle. Don't let Sister Xiaoxiao know about this. Please."

"Okay, I'll find a chance to tell the old lady."

Sister Wu was unsure. Ji Xiaoxiao had been guarding the old lady all the time these days, and she was afraid that she would not have the chance to speak.

"Sister Wu, I'm staying at Mr. Fang's house now. You must pass on this message to me."

Lu Hanqing reported Mr. Fang's address and said, "If your aunt agrees to see me, please let me know. My uncle's health cannot be delayed."

"Okay, I remember."

Sister Wu was in a hurry to go back, so she said this and left with the basket.

Lu Hanqing looked inside the mall, glanced around, saw Si Zhengyan and Shang Lijun, and hurriedly chased after them.

Lu Chaoyan, who stayed at home, took a walk in the large courtyard where Fang Yanzhang lived.

When you meet enthusiastic grandmas, aunts, sisters-in-law, older sisters and younger sisters, just chat with them.

In just half a day, she had found out all the financial information of everyone in the compound.

Just as she guessed, most of the people who could live here were Fang Yanzhang's superiors and subordinates.

When she returned to Fang's house, Si Zhengyan and the others had already come back and prepared lunch. After lunch, she gave Fang Yanzhang acupuncture to treat his hemangioma.

The three men, including Shang Lijun, were busy cleaning, pasting Spring Festival couplets and preparing Spring Festival gifts.

The next morning, Shang Lijun received a call asking Si Zhengyan to return to the island for an urgent mission.

Even though he was reluctant, Si Zhengyan had to leave. Lu Hanqing's eyes were filled with tears, but Lu Chaoyan was calm. She gave him a few instructions and watched him leave.

But in places where no one could see, his face and eyes turned cold.

Li Qing must have known that he had come to Mr. Fang's place and felt a sense of crisis.
