Rebirth As A Cub And Happy

chapter 19

　　It was an old-fashioned kettle from the countryside, with a round belly and a thin mouth. He filled it with water and carried it out. Lu Yu found a flat place with few pedestrians outside the yard and poured the water on the edge.

　　Soon, a thin and long trail appeared.

　　An Yuzhuo squatted beside him, holding his chin and watching. Because he was wearing thick clothes, the small round ball looked particularly well-behaved.

　　"Brother, what are you doing?"

　　The poured water quickly condensed into a thin layer of ice. Lu Yu rubbed it with the sole of his shoe. He slid from one end to the other nimbly. After several times, he polished the ice surface to a mirror-like texture.

　　"I'm making an ice track." Lu Yu waved to the little milk ball, "Come and try it?"

　　An Yuzhuo got up and followed him. He imitated Lu Yu's way, stepped on the ice with one foot, and pushed hard with the other foot. His body swayed forward. He quickly stretched out his two short arms to keep his balance. Although he was shaky, he slid to the other side smoothly... a success!

　　In his previous life, Xiao An had little free time. He occasionally went to New Zealand to ski to accompany clients. If he went back in time, he would learn from a private coach when he was a teenager.

　　He could still remember the fancy snowboard moves and the cold weather in the training camp, but he could not remember what fun he had. Perhaps even the most fun things would become boring if they were labeled as "progressive".

　　But now, such a simple "artificial ice" made An Yuzhuo very excited. It was really...

　　"Good! Amazing!"

　　Zhuobao cheered in a childish voice. He was short and wore a lot of clothes. When he jumped, he looked like a ball of cotton candy.

　　Lu Yu smiled: "If you like it, play for a while."

　　An Yuzhuo said, "Brother, don't you want to play with me?"

　　Lu Yu pinched the little bear ears on Zhuobao's head: "I'll go in and see if Auntie needs help. Zhuobao will play here. Don't go too far, okay?"

　　An Yuzhuo said obediently: "Oh!"

　　In fact, there was no need to remind him. There were cameramen following him here, so Zhuobao would not get lost.

　　Lu Yu picked up the empty kettle and went straight to the kitchen. Before he reached the door, he almost threw the kettle away.

　　"!"

　　What a huge puff of smoke!

　　Could it be a fire? Lu Yu rushed in: "Aunt Guo! Are you okay?"

　　Guo Lin's coughing sound was heard in the thick smoke: "It's okay! Cough cough cough, the fire can't be lit, cough cough, is that Lu Yu? Get out quickly, it's too choking in there..."

　　Lu Yu: "......"

　　Lu Yu said: "Let me do it."

　　The kitchen was so smoky that it was almost impossible to see people clearly. Fortunately, the sound recording equipment was intact and he could hear the conversation inside:

　　"The firewood is not dry yet... Aunt Guo, do you have matches? A lighter is also fine... Go open the window first... It's okay now... It doesn't matter if you can't use it, it's normal... Let me do it, cook? Yes, I could, when I was not even as tall as the stove..."

　　As the smoke gradually dissipated, the figures of Lu Yu and Guo Lin gradually appeared. They were surprisingly harmonious, like a mother and son, but it was obvious that the boy was taking the lead and the mother was helping him.

　　"Is this really possible? Let the kids cook? Won't they get food poisoning?"

　　"It looks pretty good. It looks better than what Teacher Guo Lin cooks. It should be edible..."

　　The staff whispered, and finally Director Huang made the decision: "--The production staff should prepare a few more lunch boxes. Serve them when the camera is removed. Don't let the children starve. Oh, and take out all the food provided by the sponsors... Prepare four sets for each family. None of these celebrity parents can cook. Luo Luo's father is an amateur and can't cook either. The children are so pitiful."

　　Although he said so, there was no regret in Huang Peimeng's tone. He was full of expectations for the ratings.

　　The more problems there are, the more interesting it is!

　　"Master Guo" and "Master Lu" worked for more than an hour, and the kitchen was filled with fragrance. An Yuzhuo sniffed and was immediately tempted. He ran back without being called: "It smells so good!"

　　When this segment was broadcast, the post-production added shiny little wings to Zhuo Bao, like a happy little firefly.

　　The little firefly ran back to the yard and saw brother Lu Yu and mother putting dishes on the dining table. There were green and crispy non-spicy fried cabbage, orange fried eggs with garlic, tomato noodles and minced meat and diced eggplant. Due to budget reasons, there were no "hard dishes", but the full table was still appetizing.

　　There is no light pollution in the countryside at night. The quiet and dark air is filled with the aroma of food from every household. The warm yellow light illuminates the steaming hot table. An Yuzhuo suddenly feels comfortable with his mother and brother Lu Yu busying around. He raises his little hand and says, "I'll help you serve the food!"

　　"Don't make trouble," Guo Lin said. "If you get burned again, go and call your brother to come over for dinner."

　　Lu Yu is still holding a spatula in one hand, his posture is upright, and he looks like a chef inexplicably, as if this is not a shabby country kitchen, but a Michelin kitchen. "I haven't seen An Jin all afternoon. Where did he go?"

　　... Yeah.

　　It's been a long time since I last saw him.

　　But An Yuzhuo is not surprised at all. When he was at home, An Jin liked to hide in his room, as if he was determined to draw a line between himself and others, and An Zhiyuan doted on him. When he was in a bad mood, even the food was sent to his room.

　　"It's so cold, he must not be outside." Zhuo Bao muttered to himself, with a soft voice, and walked towards the bedroom firmly.

　　There are only two bedrooms in the farmhouse, so it's not difficult to find. Zhuo Bao found An Jin as soon as he opened the second bedroom. The room was empty, but it was warm enough because it was covered with an old-fashioned kang. An Jin was alone, took off his thick coat, and lay on his back with his arms behind his head, which was actually a bit comfortable.

　　An Yuzhuo, who just felt that Boss An was self-enclosed and a little bit unbearable: "..."

　　Zhuo Bao yelled: "...Come out for dinner!"

　　An Jin opened his eyelids impatiently: "You can't speak clearly when you are excited, little brat."
