Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 51: A rough man with a fierce mouth but a soft heart vs. a beautiful young intellectual (9)

After returning home, Shen Shuyi took Yingzi to boil medicine for Grandma Lu. Yingzi watched the fire while she went to prepare the meat.

Lu Huai went to work in the fields. He really had no time to rest all year round.

She braised the pig's trotters and large intestines with spices. The whole kitchen was filled with a rich meaty aroma, which made Yingzi, who was watching the fire, cry with greed.

After braising for most of the day, when Shen Shuyi took out the braised meat and sliced ​​it, Yingzi looked at it eagerly.

Shen Shuyi cut a piece and put it in front of her, "Try it, we can have dinner when your brother comes back."

Yingzi hesitated, still remembering her elder brother's words, but the meat in front of her was too tempting, and Sister Xiaoyi's words were too gentle, so she couldn't wait to take a bite, and was reluctant to swallow it whole.

"Wow! It's delicious!"

Shen Shuyi's heart softened when she saw Yingzi, who was thin, weak and hardworking.

The braised meat tasted good and she remembered a drama she had played before, in which a peasant girl traveled through time and worked the land, and the heroine made money by selling braised food.

In addition, she has the golden finger of space preservation, so she can sell the braised food on the black market, and use the money she earns to do other businesses, such as roasting melon seeds, etc. In the long run, she can make money from money, but there are some risks.

Before Lu Huai entered the house, he smelled the aroma of meat coming from the kitchen. He pushed open the gate and walked in. He immediately saw Shen Zhiqing squatting by the well, boiling medicine.

Countless complex emotions flashed through his eyes. Ever since his parents passed away, his grandmother was bedridden and his sister was still young, there had never been anyone who cared about him.

The gossips all around him left a mark of bad elements on his spine, and he had to keep his tail between his legs in the village.
How could a man like him be worthy of Shen Zhiqing's pure kindness?

Lu Huai put away the sadness in his eyes and returned to his usual cold look.

……

As dusk fell, Shen Shuyi came out of the shower and heard the sound of planing wood in the yard.

She walked forward a few steps and saw Lu Huai making a wooden barrel with his head down. His hands were so quick and dexterous that he was so focused that he didn't notice Shen Shuyi was watching him for a long time from a distance.

Shen Shuyi's eyebrows flickered slightly, and he went straight back to his room.

She went to bed early, and thinking that Lu Huai would go into the mountains to hunt early the next morning, she asked the system to wake her up early.

Before dawn, Shen Shuyi lit a kerosene lamp in the kitchen, then kneaded the dough and started making pancakes.

She mixed minced pork belly, dried mushrooms and shallots into a filling and then wrapped it into buns, pressed it into pancakes and fried it in an iron pan brushed with lard.

"Sizzle~~~" The aroma of lard mixed with chopped green onions wafted out of the pot. Fry until both sides are golden brown, then pick up and put into a bamboo plate.

Shen Shuyi ate one first. It was soft and crispy in the mouth, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tasted really good.

She couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, and slowly finished a pancake before she scooped up the sweet potato porridge from the pot and let it cool so that she could eat it when Lu Huai got up.

Before leaving, she paused, then deliberately rolled her fingers on the edge of the porridge pot, and immediately she felt a burning sensation on her fingers.

She rinsed in cold water and blisters appeared on the burned areas.

It was painful, but did she make pancakes just to fill Lu Huai's stomach? What she wanted most was for Lu Huai to see her willingness to cook for him.

Lu Huai woke up and pinched his eyebrows. He went to wash up and was about to go to the kitchen to get some food before going into the mountains. As soon as he came out, he saw Shen Shuyi carrying a large plate of pancakes and personally serving him a bowl of sweet potato porridge, but the posture of her fingers when serving the porridge was a little strange.

"Comrade Lu, good morning. I made some pancakes. You can take some with you when you go into the mountains to fill your stomach when you're hungry."

Lu Huai quickly took the bowl and said, "Thank you, I'll do it myself."

Shen Shuyi sat down opposite him. The sweet potato porridge had cooled down, so she took a bowl and filled it for herself.

Lu Huai suddenly saw several glaring blisters on her fair hands. He frowned and said, "Your hands are burned." Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Lu Huaibing got up without eating, and when he came back, there was a needle in his hand.

"It will be better after you pick it. Don't touch the water to cook at noon. I will be back early. Let Yingzi help you with whatever you need to do."

Shen Shuyi didn't take the needle from his hand, but softened her tone, "Please help me, I don't dare to prick it."

Lu Huai hesitated for a moment, but still squatted down in front of her. He pinched Shen Shuyi's fingers with one hand and used the needle to poke the blister with the other.

"Sigh~"

When Lu Huai heard her gasp, he stopped and looked up to see Shen Shuyi closing her eyes in fear. Her eyelashes were long and thick. When she opened her eyes, her almond-shaped eyes were covered with a layer of watery light.

She is really squeamish.

Such a delicate little girl actually got up early to cook for him
Lu Huai once again felt unworthy. He lowered his head and popped the remaining blisters, then immediately let go.

His voice was slightly hoarse, "Shen Zhiqing, don't cook for me anymore."

"But I have to eat it myself, so I'm just leaving one portion for you. We live under the same roof, so wouldn't it be a waste of firewood to have two fires?" Shen Shuyi said as a matter of course.

Lu Huai put the needle away, and the delicate touch seemed to still remain on his fingertips, and his heart tightened slightly.

He took several breaths before returning to the table and eating pancakes.

Shen Shuyi didn't expect Lu Huai to be devoted to her in such a short time. There was a long time to come, and she had plenty of opportunities living under the same roof.

There is always work to be done in the fields all year round. After harvesting the rice, they are still busy reclaiming wasteland and building water conservancy projects.

If you don't work, you won't get any work points. And the work points you get from working less are sometimes not enough to fill your stomach. Shen Shuyi knew that he couldn't earn many work points with his body, so he simply turned to the black market.

The next time she went to town, she didn't ask Lu Huai out again. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Huai didn't approve of her going into the black market.

She made her first fortune from stewing food, and bought a big bag of sunflower seeds to fry spiced melon seeds. She made more and more money, and the food at home became better and better. However, every time Lu Huai saw the fine grains and meat on the table, he frowned.

He said nothing, but went back to his room and stuffed the money and some food coupons into her hands.

Shen Shuyi refused, "I don't want it, you keep it."

Lu Huai frowned, "Grandma's illness is basically cured, there's no need to buy medicine anymore, take this money, we can't take it for free."

"It's so clearly divided." Shen Shuyi muttered.

Lu Huai heard this and said, "Don't go to the black market again. If you get caught, you'll be ruined."

"I'm being careful." Shen Shuyi disagreed. How could she be caught with the system on guard?

Lu Huai couldn't persuade her, nor was he qualified to do so, so he just picked up the hoe and went to work.

At noon, Shen Shuyi cut the pork belly into larger pieces in the kitchen and cooked loofah and egg drop soup, plus a dish of cold wild vegetables. After she, Yingzi and Grandma Lu had finished their meal, they put the hot food in the pot into lunch boxes, put them in a bamboo basket and took it to Lu Huai.

Along the way, she met several women who were returning home from work for dinner.

They seemed to smell the fragrance of food and glanced at the bamboo basket, "Shen Zhiqing, are you bringing food to Lu Huai?"

"What dishes are there?"
