Chapter 97 Leftovers
After the meal, Li Zhuangsheng stopped Chen Lanying who was about to help, and smiled at Li Xiuyu with a raised eyebrow: "Do you still remember what to do?"

"Then let me wash the dishes..." Li Xiuyu stood up reluctantly.

"Then I'm going to enjoy my life starting today!" Chen Lanying said with a smile, "I was worried that you couldn't take care of yourselves at home..."

"We're fine!" Li Xiuyu's ears trembled, and he immediately took Li Zhuangsheng's arm and patted his chest, "My brother and I are so old, how can we not take care of ourselves! Just look at me, let alone washing pots and dishes, I can do everything from mopping the floor!"

Chen Lanying looked puzzled: "Then I'll see how you perform in the next few days!"

How could she not understand Li Xiuyu's thoughts? When her daughter grew up, she was annoyed by her parents' nagging and wished she could be free and unrestrained without anyone to control her.

She was indeed worried about her children, afraid that no one would be able to take care of them if she left. But Li Zhuangsheng's behavior today made her reflect. Perhaps, it would be a good idea to let them be a little independent... However, when she looked at the intimacy between Li Zhuangsheng and Li Xiuyu, she still felt a little worried.

Li Xiuyu was washing dishes happily, and his enthusiasm was instantly boosted. Hu Mengdie quietly walked over to Li Xiuyu to help.

"You don't need to help me, I can do it alone!"

"It's okay, we'll be there soon." Hu Mengdie glanced at Chen Lanying who was about to go back to the house and chuckled.

What a good kid, but it's a pity that he has a lover... Humph, how is our son worse than others!

Chen Lanying was slightly moved by Hu Mengdie's skill and dexterity. She knew that this was definitely not her first time doing housework, and she liked her more and more. But when she thought of Li Xiuyu's words, she felt sorry but also quite unconvinced.

"Well, I'll help too..."

Seeing Hu Mengdie offering to help, Lin Yuehua's situation became even more embarrassing.

"No need, you are not an ordinary guest, you are my master, you just need to teach me!" Li Zhuangsheng smiled and grabbed Lin Yuehua's arm, "Let's go back to the room first, let Li Xiuyu wash the dishes, I just did the "Textbook 1+1" should have a lot of mistakes."

"Look at him!" Li Xiuyu sneered softly.

"You are such a jealous person." Hu Mengdie joked.

She smiled silently, knowing that in Chen Lanying's heart the winner had been decided. Of course, this was not a difficult task.

Li Zhuangsheng and Lin Yuehua returned to the bedroom and corrected their homework.

He had written this textbook before he started cooking, and Lin Yuehua had already corrected it for him. After correcting the wrong questions, Lin Yuehua gave a brief explanation and couldn't help yawning a few times.

"If you're sleepy, just sleep on my bed for a while," Li Zhuangsheng suggested.

"I'm not sleepy. Class starts at two o'clock. You should do your holiday homework now." Lin Yuehua shook her head.

"Let me rest for a while. I can finish the homework assigned by school in the evening!"

"Just write it in front of me. I'll watch you write."

Lin Yuehua refused to give in. She had discovered in the past few days that Li Zhuangsheng found it difficult to concentrate for long periods of time and was prone to laziness.

If she doesn't supervise, the other party is likely to copy others' work in a place where she can't see.

Li Zhuangsheng sighed helplessly. He did intend to ask Li Xiuyu to borrow her homework to copy, because there were too many things he didn't know how to do in the holiday homework, and it was particularly painful to do it... But I haven't borrowed it yet, and you actually doubted my self-awareness!
Forget it, don't make her angry.

"Okay, I'll write it in a moment, wait for me."

Li Zhuangsheng got up and went out, and coincidentally, Li Xiuyu came out of the toilet.

"Where is my brother Sansheng?" Li Zhuangsheng walked over with a smile.

"What did you say?" Li Xiuyu frowned. "You're not keeping your word, are you? I promised you that when I make cola chicken wings, you'd call me brother three times! Don't say it's not tasty, I saw you eat quite a bit just now!"

"I just shouted in front of mom, didn't you hear it?" Li Xiuyu said expressionlessly.

Li Zhuangsheng was dissatisfied: "It's just one sound!"

Li Xiuyu narrowed his eyes, looking even angrier than Li Zhuangsheng: "I'm not the only one eating, didn't they eat? There are two more to go, why don't you let the other two shout!"

After saying that, she turned and went back to the house.

"Don't be so protective of your food. If you like it, I'll make it tomorrow!" Li Zhuangsheng said behind him.

Li Xiuyu just snorted coldly and ignored him.

Li Zhuangsheng walked into the kitchen helplessly. Let Lin Yuehua and Hu Mengdie shout? Lin Yuehua would only give him two punches, and Hu Mengdie might...

"I want to be with Brother Qi forever!"

Li Zhuangsheng suddenly punched his head hard in anger. Damn it, why can’t I forget it?
The punch made his head buzz, and the sudden anger was released instantly.

He didn't think about it anymore, heated up the food in the microwave, put two tablespoons of rice in a large bowl, picked up a lot of ribs, the remaining two chicken wings and other leftovers, and spread a thick layer on top. Then he took out a pair of chopsticks and hurried back to the house.

"I'll do my homework, you eat first." Li Zhuangsheng handed the bowl and chopsticks to Lin Yuehua.

"Ah..." Lin Yuehua was stunned. She wanted to take it but retracted her hand. "I just ate it."

"I know you've eaten, but I think you're being too polite." Li Zhuangsheng teased, "Are you embarrassed to eat in front of my mother?"

He had noticed it a long time ago.

Although Lin Yuehua's eating manners in front of him were much more elegant, she was still fast. Only today, she was like a chicken pecking at rice, and she wanted to eat every grain of rice. She had a big appetite, but she stopped eating after a small bowl of food at noon, and she rarely even took vegetables, and was determined to only eat the two vegetarian dishes in front of her.

On the contrary, Hu Mengdie was very calm and composed, as if she was eating at her own home. Although in a way, this was indeed her home.

No, how can this be her home? Is there a marriage certificate?
"I'm not embarrassed..." Lin Yuehua said.

"I'm not embarrassed yet!" Li Zhuangsheng teased with a smile, "You're acting so ladylike today because you're afraid that my family will go bankrupt! Come on, eat quickly, why are you being so polite to me? I'll use the microwave, don't let it get cold."

Lin Yuehua hesitated for a moment, looked at the delicious food in the bowl, swallowed her saliva, whispered "thank you", and took it.

Li Zhuangsheng went out again with a smile, and soon came back with a bottle of Coke. He unscrewed it for Lin Yuehua: "The soup has been poured out, so just drink some Coke. I'm doing my homework, you can eat slowly, and put the bowl and chopsticks next to you after you finish."

Lin Yuehua looked at Coke, and her gaze quickly shifted to Li Zhuangsheng. She blinked her eyes lightly, her eyes were lonely, and then she immediately lowered her eyes and ate in silence.

Li Zhuangsheng was concentrating on doing his homework. Due to his fear of difficulties, he chose history first.

……

"It's almost two o'clock." Lin Yuehua gently patted Li Zhuangsheng's shoulder, "You can relax for a while, class will start soon."

"Oh, okay." Li Zhuangsheng raised his head and rubbed his shoulders. "I'll go wash the dishes first... Where are the dishes?"

"I brushed it off."
