Chapter 89 Fried Rice
"Mom, how much do you want to eat?" Li Zhuangsheng asked.

"Serve it to that unfilial daughter first. I've eaten. Just leave a bite for me!" Chen Lanying patted the back of Li Xiuyu's head.

Li Zhuangsheng served Li Xiuyu a large bowl and left the rest for Chen Lanying.

Chen Lanying took a bite, and the expectation in her eyes turned into surprise: "Wow, when did my son learn to cook? And he cooks so deliciously!"

"It's just average, barely passing." Li Xiuyu said without even raising his head.

Li Zhuangsheng wiped his hands and began to peel the pears: "I followed the recipe on the Internet. Mom, I plan to stew some rock sugar snow pears later, you can have some too."

"When did my son become so capable? It's amazing. I didn't raise him in vain!" Chen Lanying was touched, but she looked at Li Xiuyu who was only busy eating with a look of regret, and said angrily, "He's not like some people. At this age, let alone cooking for their mother, they don't even want to wash the dishes every day!"

Li Xiuyu lowered his head and ate fried rice, pretending not to hear.

Li Zhuangsheng smiled and said, "Then I'll cook at noon tomorrow, and you just need to buy some vegetables in the morning."

Chen Lanying was surprised and delighted: "Okay, son, what do you want to do?"

"Whatever you buy, I'll make it."

"Do you want mom to guide you?"

"No need, just do your thing, I can handle it."

"Is this true? You're so good? Have you practiced secretly?"

Li Zhuangsheng shook his head and calmly cut the pear into pieces: "Cooking is very simple. Mom, please buy more vegetables. I have a classmate."

Chen Lanying took a look at Li Zhuangsheng's skilled knife skills and readily agreed: "Okay, no problem!"

Could it be that he has been practicing secretly for a long time and wants to give us a surprise? Chen Lanying was delighted, but she tapped Li Xiuyu's back in dissatisfaction: "Wash your own bowl later, did you hear me? And wash my bowl and chopsticks too!"

"understood--"

Only then did Chen Lanying return to her room contentedly and continue watching TV.

Li Zhuangsheng put the pear pieces and rock sugar into a pressure cooker, added water and put it on the gas stove to cook. He had never used this primitive pressure cooker before, and was afraid that it would melt, so he simply sat outside at the dining table and waited.

Li Xiuyu ate the fried rice carefully and glanced at him: "You can make fried rice well. When did you learn how to do it?"

"You can learn it online. It's very simple. I have the recipe in my room... Do you want to learn it? I'll teach you."

"I don't want to learn. It's enough if you can cook. If you cook, I can consider washing the dishes..."

"Hey, you said it, I'm not forcing you. From now on, you have to wash the dishes when I cook. Oh, and you have to wash the pot too. Don't play word games, and don't just wash it for a while and then not wash it."

"Do you think I like to play dirty like you?" Li Xiuyu snorted, "But how many years can I eat like this? When you have a girlfriend, will you still cook for me?"

"Your words really hurt my heart. Not to mention having a girlfriend, even if we get married in the future, as long as you want to eat it, I will make it for you!"

Li Xiuyu sneered: "Haha, I'm just afraid your wife won't let you!"

Li Zhuangsheng frowned and slammed the table: "She dares? If she dares not to let me, I will divorce her in a minute!"

"Oh, oh, look at you bragging!" Li Xiuyu didn't believe it at all. "With your cowardly look, I'm afraid your wife will glare at you and you won't even dare to say a word!"

"Then you should check for me, don't let me find such a fierce wife!" Li Zhuangsheng joked with his sister, "How about I get your consent before I find a partner in the future? If you like her, I will marry her home!"

"Humph, you can't even find a girlfriend, and you still want a wife!" Li Xiuyu curled his lips, sucked his chopsticks, and then picked up a ball of fried rice, "Open your mouth!"

"I don't need it, you eat yours."

Li Xiuyu glared at him: "You are disgusted with my chopsticks again, right?" Li Zhuangsheng sighed speechlessly: "Why don't you spit on me first, otherwise I won't be able to eat comfortably!"

"Get lost, pervert!"

Li Zhuangsheng opened his mouth and accepted the food from Li Xiuyu. Li Xiuyu took out his chopsticks and continued to shovel rice into his mouth with a look of disgust on his face.

"Are you calm now?"

Li Zhuangsheng chewed a few times, swallowed the fried rice, smiled and touched Li Xiuyu's arm.

"You're just being sentimental. I don't even want to be angry with you!"

"Hey, you haven't tried cola chicken wings yet, right? Ask mom to buy some chicken wings tomorrow and I'll make cola chicken wings for you!"

"You also know how to make Coke chicken wings?"

"No big deal. If I make you cola chicken wings, can you call me brother for a day?"

"No... shout no more than three times!"

“Three times is fine!”

Li Zhuangsheng agreed with a smile. He had been planning to make cola chicken wings for Li Xiuyu anyway, so it would be a profit if the other party shouted three times.

"How about just give the money now as a deposit?" Li Zhuangsheng suggested.

"Just cook it first, don't complain if it doesn't taste good!"

……

After cooking the rock sugar and snow pear, Li Zhuangsheng served himself a bowl and took it back to his bedroom.

He recalled that Lin Yuehua brought him pears every day, and those pears were always very sweet. This once made him wonder:

Given Lin Yuehua's family conditions, even if she was selling fruit, she wouldn't have any high-end fruit. Why were her pears so sweet? The ones I bought from the vendors were much worse than this.

It was not until many years later, in a fortuitous moment, that he figured out the problem himself. It was not that the pears sold by Lin Yuehua's family were sweeter than those sold by other families, but that she brought him the best.

I was so stupid back then that I didn’t understand such a simple question.

Li Zhuangsheng sighed softly and turned on the computer.

He had been begging Li Minghua for a long time to buy him this computer. He didn't know much about computers at that time, but the acquaintance Li Minghua found didn't cheat him. It cost him more than 2,000 yuan in total, and he could play games like "Fantasy God Realm" without any lag.

WiFi is not popular nowadays, and the family uses an Ethernet cable. Li Minghua usually unplugs and puts away the cable, and only returns it to Li Zhuangsheng during holidays.

That's really too much. They actually look down on my self-control and say they are afraid that I will become addicted to computer games and lose my motivation?

He is worthy of being my dad, he really understands me!
He created a new wps file, took a deep breath, and typed six words on the file name: Fairy Chu's Daily Life.

This was his first successful novel and also his least favorite.

After Li Zhuangsheng was reborn, there were three things that made him feel the most uncomfortable: first, the playlist of more than 700 songs on his phone was gone; second, more than four terabytes of resources on his computer were gone... Of course, these two things combined were not as painful as the third thing:
The original manuscript of the novel, which originally contained nearly ten million words, was lost.

This is not only a matter of money, the most important thing is that seven or eight years of time and energy were destroyed in an instant.

When he first realized what had happened, he rolled around on his bed in a fit of madness.

　This should be chapter 89, I made a mistake, sorry.
