Chapter 172: Mom’s Going to Stir Things Up
After Lu Zhenping finished cooking, he carried all the dishes into the main room. Thanks to Shen Meng’s training, he was getting pretty good at cooking. Although he couldn’t quite match up to her, his skills were still impressive among ordinary people, and he owed it to the training he received in the army.
Humming a tune, Shen Meng made her way to the dining table. After taking a few bites, she turned to Lu Zhenping with a serious look.
"Lu Zhenping, don’t take it the wrong way, but during the New Year’s celebration, when we eat meat, how can we not share some with your parents? Especially today when uncle, aunt, and my cousin are here. You’re grown up yet you’re clueless. All right, I won’t nag you anymore. Mingyang, go get a bowl for mom, I’ll dish out some food for your grandparents."
Lu Zhenping: "...."
Such sudden filial piety—I’m afraid your father-in-law and mother-in-law wouldn’t dare to eat it, my dear!!!
No matter what, if Shen Meng said it, Mingyang would definitely listen. He immediately ran to the kitchen, brought back a medium-sized bowl, and handed it over to Shen Meng.
Shen Meng didn’t hesitate. Today, Lu Zhenping cooked sour cabbage with vermicelli and spare ribs, stir-fried mushrooms with chili and cured meat, and spinach with scrambled eggs; all delicious dishes. She filled the bottom of the bowl with vermicelli and sour cabbage, then topped it with two pieces of spare rib, added a few pieces of red chili and mushrooms, a good handful of cured meat on the side, and some spinach and a bit of scrambled eggs on the other.
"Okay, you guys start without me, don’t wait up, I’m off to deliver the food to the old house, cough cough, to show a bit of filial piety."
