Chapter 1548 Unreasonable 6
Ye Xiangqian quickly covered his mouth, glanced nervously at the whitewashed wall, unsure if Shen Qing next door had overheard their conversation. Luckily, he had made up his mind—Shen Feng wouldn’t have to go hungry in the future.
"Alright, alright, go to sleep now. Tomorrow your Uncle Lu has the day off, so I’ll take you to buy groceries early in the morning and deliver them over."
Ye Yan happily closed his eyes.
As the saying goes, one good turn deserves another. The Lu Family treated Ye Yan well, which left Ye Xiangqian profoundly grateful, so naturally, he reciprocated with even greater kindness. Before dawn, he ran to the food service cooperative to buy a large slab of pork belly, spending all of his meat tickets. He also bought a rack of ribs and a pile of radishes and greens. After returning, he took his son to a restaurant to purchase forty assorted steamed buns and ten fried dough sticks. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind the chef, "I’ve left the money with you. At noon, prepare a braised carp and a braised pork knuckle for me. I’ll come pick them up then."
He had already checked to make sure the restaurant had fish supply today, so he wasn’t making it difficult for the chef.
Lu Jiang, as usual, came back from his morning run and coincidentally ran into the father and son at their door. Seeing the large bags they were carrying, he couldn’t help but ask, "Why so generous?"
"Didn’t buy much, just some meat tickets about to expire—better use them than let them go to waste." Ye Xiangqian grinned as he replied.
He had remembered that Lu Jiang was off today but had overlooked the fact that Feng Qingxue was on duty.
So, at noon, after the meal was ready, Lu Jiang had his family and Ye Xiangqian’s father-and-son duo start eating first. He himself delivered food to his wife. Wrapped in a small quilt, the large lunchbox was half filled with white rice, while braised ribs, braised pork, and braised pork knuckle took up the remaining space. The bright red, oily sauce seeped into the rice, carrying an aroma that was impossible to resist.
