Chapter 1498: Old Promise 3
Christine was warm and straightforward, treating the Lu Family as her good friends. When Feng Qingxue walked into the yard ahead, Christine lingered behind and sidled up to Lu Tianzhi. While eyeing the small cart, she quietly asked, "Lu, is there a chance I can have some scallion pancakes today?"
It was clear that in the Lu Family, the most mild-tempered were Lu Tianzhi and Dundun. But Dundun was too young to cook.
Seeing Christine’s big, expectant eyes, Lu Tianzhi nodded. "You like them that much? I’ll make some in a bit. We just got new flour—bought it with those remittance coupons you gave my aunt."
As soon as remittance coupons were mentioned, Feng Qingxue, who had just entered the house, said to Christine, "The remittance coupons you gave us were far too valuable. We spent part of them; we didn’t want to decline your kindness. But you should take the rest back—there are plenty of places where they’ll come in handy."
Christine shook her head and said, "We don’t need them, not taking them back. We usually eat Western food and barely use the remittance coupons. We only use a little when we go shopping, but many things we want don’t even require the coupons. We’re heading back soon. If they aren’t used, they’ll go to waste. Giving them to you is just making the best use of them."
Her last sentence was in Chinese, but her pronunciation was off, making it sound a bit odd.
"But we’ll feel too indebted, Christine. Your parents have already given us so many precious gifts, and now you’re adding these remittance coupons," Feng Qingxue said, finding it hard to simply accept.
"No guilt, no guilt, it’s nothing!" Christine waved her hand, her eyes as blue as the sky sparkling. She quickly added, "Dear, if you feel guilty, how about treating me to a meal? Lu’s cooking is so good! Scallion pancakes—delicious!"
"No problem at all! Our house welcomes you every single day, and you can eat here every single day," Feng Qingxue agreed readily. "My cooking is great too. Today, we’re making dumplings. We have a saying: nothing tastes better than dumplings. When you leave, we’ll make some scallion pancakes for you to take along as your dinner. How does that sound?"
Christine clapped her hands. "Great, great, great!"
