A crazy beauty has an island, and a powerful figure from that era dotes on her.

Beijing. Lujia

In the kitchen

Lu Yujing rolled up the cuffs of his military green shirt, revealing a small section of his strong and slender forearm.

He held a cleaver in his right hand and pressed down on a potato with his left, clumsily but earnestly cutting it.

Grandma Lu stood to the side, watching with trepidation.

She was terrified that, by some accident, the gleaming cleaver might cut her precious grandson's hand.

The nanny, Wang Ma, was also frowning as she twisted her apron to the side.

She has worked for the Lu family for over twenty years, and it can be said that she has watched Lu Yujing grow from a newborn baby into the young man he is today.

Her husband died young, leaving her no children. Seeing that she had no one to rely on, her husband's relatives all bullied her.

They called her a jinx, a bringer of misfortune.

Later, finding her an eyesore, he simply kicked her out of the house.

Her sister-in-law from her maternal family blocked the door, preventing her from going back.

If it weren't for Grandma Lu's kindness in taking her in after she had been wandering around, she might have starved to death in some remote corner long ago.

later……

She became Old Mrs. Lu's confidante.

Grandpa Lu forbade Grandma Lu from giving Lu Yujing extra food, so Wang Ma went to give Lu Yujing extra food instead.

Grandpa Lu forbade Grandma Lu from secretly delivering food to Lu Yujing in the army, so Wang Ma went to deliver it instead.

Grandpa Lu forbade Grandma Lu from doing it, but Wang Ma secretly took care of it.

"Jingjing, why don't we let Wang Ma do it?" Old Mrs. Lu couldn't help but persuade her again.

"Grandma, I can do it." Lu Yujing carefully cut each slice.

“Yes! Yu Jing, let Wang Ma come. Tell Wang Ma what you want to eat, and she will make it for you.” Wang Ma chimed in from the side.

She wasn't exaggerating.

Wang Ma's culinary skills are so good that even at the Yunlai Hotel, she would be considered a top-tier chef.

"Grandma, Aunt Wang, please go out and don't bother me." Lu Yujing didn't even look up, focusing intently on the work in his hands.

“When…when…when…”

Watching Lu Yujing's stiff and clumsy chopping movements, Old Mrs. Lu's heart was in her throat.

"Jingjing! What dish are you planning to make?" Grandma Lu asked tentatively.

"Stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar." Lu Yujing still didn't look up.

"Isn't Wang Ma's stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar delicious?" Grandma Lu asked again.

"It's delicious!" Lu Yujing seemed to have figured it out, and her chopping movements gradually became faster.

"If it's delicious, then why do you still make it yourself?" Grandma Lu was puzzled.

"I can cook for myself when I'm alone in the family compound from now on." Lu Yujing laid down the sliced ​​potatoes and began practicing shredding them.

“What’s there to learn? Just call Aunt Wang and she’ll cook it and bring it over to you. If that’s not possible, she can come over and cook it for you,” Aunt Wang quickly said.

“Yes! Jingjing, you’re so busy every day, how would you have time to tinker with this? If you don’t like the food in the cafeteria, just have Aunt Wang cook it and send it to you.” Grandma Lu immediately agreed.

“Everyone else can eat it, so why can’t he? Is he more precious than others?” Old Master Lu stood at the kitchen door with a frown, his face full of dissatisfaction.

Judging from his appearance, he must have been eavesdropping for quite a while.

Grandma Lu glared at Grandpa Lu, then turned and left.

Wang Ma, understanding the situation, picked up the trash from the side and followed closely behind, leaving space for the grandmother and grandson.

"Grandpa!" Lu Yujing glanced at him sideways before lowering his head to continue his work.

"Has the list of participants for the year-end exercise been finalized?" Old Master Lu stepped into the kitchen.

"It's already been submitted." Lu Yujing said calmly as he shredded his potatoes.

Perhaps the slicing was uneven, because the resulting shreds are of varying thicknesses, making them look rather awkward.

"Why are you learning this? What? Planning to switch careers and become a chef?" Old Master Lu snorted.

"Didn't you say that you should do it yourself and have plenty to eat and wear?" Lu Yujing picked out the thick potato shreds again and cut them.

"I told you to find me a granddaughter-in-law soon so she can give me great-grandchildren! Why didn't you listen?" Old Master Lu chuckled.

“How do you know I didn’t listen? Your granddaughter-in-law is still in school. What can I do? I can’t exactly tell her, ‘My grandpa is waiting to hold his great-grandson. You can quit your studies and come home with me to have a baby.’” Lu Yujing put the shredded potatoes into a plate on the side.

"No, are you serious?" Old Master Lu said seriously.

"What do you mean, 'seriously'?" Lu Yujing tilted his head and looked at Old Master Lu.

"You and that little girl."

"More real than pearls."

"She's only seventeen, how could you be so shameless?" Old Master Lu frowned.

"Don't worry about whether I feel embarrassed or not, just wait to hold your great-grandchild."

"Did the little girl agree to be with you? Is she just waiting to hold her great-grandchild?"

"Aren't I trying my best?"

Grandpa Lu was speechless.

After all that talk, it's just one-sided enthusiasm from the barber.

"Grandpa, I don't want anyone to disturb her life, and I especially don't want anyone to interfere with her decisions and life under the guise of doing what's best for me," Lu Yujing said solemnly.

"...I understand!" Old Master Lu cursed inwardly, "You brat!"

Before anything even happened, their elbows were already turning outwards.

"That girl is only seventeen. If you really get together with her, you'll be in for a long time to catch up," Old Master Lu finally couldn't help but remind her.

"I'm not in a hurry!" Lu Yujing retorted stubbornly.

"Are you really not in a hurry?" Old Master Lu glanced at the plate of haphazardly cut potato shreds.

"Good food is worth waiting for!" Lu Yujing retorted.

Old Master Lu chuckled.

Good food is never too late, it's just that...

Fish in the pot —

All I can do is worry!

"If you like that young girl, treat her well. Don't always have such a stern face. If you scare her away, you'll have nowhere to cry." In order to hold his great-grandson as soon as possible, Grandpa Lu still gave a piece of good advice.

"Don't worry about that, just wait to hold your great-grandchild." Lu Yujing grinned.

Grandpa Lu sighed, shook his head with a smile, and turned to leave.

As long as he can hold his great-grandchildren, let him do whatever he wants.

"Shh!"

When they saw Grandpa Lu come out, Grandma Lu, who was hiding at the corner of the stairs, poked her head out.

Grandpa Lu looked at his wife, who was acting like a child, smiled helplessly, and walked over.

Perhaps because she thought Grandpa Lu was walking too slowly, Grandma Lu even reached out and pulled him back.

"What's wrong now..."

"Shh!" Old Mrs. Lu covered Old Mr. Lu's mouth, then glanced at the kitchen door to make sure Lu Yujing hadn't come out before pulling the old man back into the house.

Wait until the door is closed.

She then asked in a low voice, "Jingjing, do you really want to be with that girl?"

Grandpa Lu nodded.

"Did you ask him...?"

"Your precious Jingjing said that she doesn't want anyone to disturb that girl's life, and she especially doesn't want anyone to interfere with that girl's decisions and life under the guise of doing what's best for her." Grandpa Lu interrupted her directly.
