Lu Shoucai opened the cupboard and took out a colander while holding back his laughter.
"It's not just the clip..." Lu Yueyi was on the verge of crying, "Dad, my cell phone seems to be in the pot as well."
Seeing Lu Jieyi's pitiful look, Lu Shoucai had no choice but to forgive her.
There was a ceasefire and the water finally stopped boiling.
Lu Shoucai used a slotted spoon to fish out the clip and Lu Yueyi's mobile phone. The small mobile phone was lying on the cooking table, smoking, and wondering why it ended up like this as a mobile phone.
Lu Jieyi stretched out her hand and poked the surface of the phone, but it was so hot that she retracted her hand.
"Don't worry, wait until it cools down," Lu Shoucai fanned the air with his hand, "Yiyi, promise dad not to think about cooking in the future, okay?"
Lu Jieyi pouted, "I didn't do it on purpose."
"Of course Dad knows that you didn't throw the phone in on purpose," Lu Shoucai said earnestly, patting his daughter on the shoulder, "If you did it on purpose, it might not be so scary."
"...Okay," Lu Yueyi agreed reluctantly, "Can I check my phone now?"
"It's okay, it's not hot anymore," Lu Shoucai tested the temperature, "It's just... I guess it can't be used anymore."
"Ah, isn't this phone waterproof?"
"No matter how waterproof it is, it can't be boiled in boiling water for so long," Lu Shoucai said. "Can it still be turned on?"
Lu Jieyi pressed the power button several times, then flicked her arm and said, "The phone can't be turned on. It's broken."
"If it's broken, it's broken. What's the point?" Lu Shoucai quickly coaxed, "Dad will take you to buy a new one later."
"It's so annoying, I'm so stupid," Lu Jieyi looked at the big pot of mobile phone steak soup and sighed, "The soup is also wasted, I can't even drink it."
"It doesn't matter, there are still a lot of ingredients anyway, we can make it again," Lu Shoucai said.
Lu Jieyi raised her eyes and asked in a low voice, "You won't let me cook, right?"
"Today, today is the last time," Lu Shoucai raised his index finger, "For the sake of our Yiyi being in a good mood today, you can cook whatever you want...as long as you don't blow up the kitchen."
"How could I be so scary?" Lu Qieyi finally smiled.
It's still too modest. After all, if the phone is boiled in the pot for a while, it might really explode.
The mere loss of a mobile phone did not affect Lu Yueyi's desire to cook, nor did it affect her inner steak soup plan. The pot of soup in which the mobile phone had been soaked was cruelly poured out, and a new pot of water replaced it.
Qin Yin and Wen Ling grinned as they watched the two idiots in the kitchen busy preparing dark dishes. They could only feel a little sorry for Tian Tian who had no idea about this.
After two or three hours, the soup was finally ready.
The hungry father and daughter looked down at the pot of dark brown soup.
It's giving off a strange smell.
Lu Shoucai's stomach growled at an inappropriate time.
"Dad, you are hungry," Lu Qieyi said immediately, "Then you should try it first."
"Uh... I'm not very hungry yet," Lu Shoucai was a little bit unable to eat, "Yiyi, how about you try it first?"
"I...I'm not hungry either."
After saying that, Lu Jieyi's stomach growled.
The two looked at each other speechlessly.
"I knew it," Qin Yin covered her nose, turned sideways and pointed at the pot of liquid, "If they can eat this thing, then I will really open my eyes."
Wen Ling nodded. Just looking at the pot of soup made her stomach churn unconsciously.
"Ah, by the way," Lu Yueyi seemed to suddenly remember something good, "Dad, aren't you going to take me out to buy a mobile phone?"
"Yes," Lu Shoucai nodded blankly, "Yiyi, have you decided which one you want to buy?"
"I don't know. We'll choose when we get to the store." Lu Jieyi took her father's arm, her eyes bright, "Dad, we haven't had hot pot for a long time. Otherwise, when we buy mobile phones, we can go out to have hot pot.
How about it?"
Lu Shoucai understood his daughter's intention, suppressed a smile, nodded and said, "Okay, you can eat whatever you want."
"Oh! Let's go eat hot pot!"
In this way, the results of the two people's busy work all morning were quickly discarded. Lu Yueyi happily jumped back to the room to change clothes. Lu Shoucai looked at his daughter's back with a smile. After he lost sight of his daughter, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
.
That troubled look returned to his eyes.
He gently closed the kitchen door, took out his cell phone, and made a call.
"Hello? It's me," Lu Shoucai put his hands to his mouth and said in a suppressed voice, "I always feel that this morning... that thing came out to cause trouble again."
What was said over there.
"I know he has never appeared during the day," Lu Shoucai turned his back. "In the morning, something strange happened on the eighth floor. The police almost discovered it. Thanks to a child living in the house on the seventh floor, I
That’s why I just put it off.”
After Lu Shoucai finished speaking, he listened for a while and continued, "There is no problem this time, but I'm worried... I have to stay with Yiyi today. You can go upstairs and have a look when you have time. If there is anything strange, you must tell me in time.
I."
After a brief explanation, he hung up the phone. At the same time, Lu Yueyi's door creaked open, and a loud "Dad" came over.
Before Lu Shoucai could put away his phone, the kitchen door was opened.
"Dad?" Lu Yueyi poked her head in, "What are you doing?"
"Oh, it's okay. Dad called." Lu Shoucai opened the door and walked out, "Are you ready?"
Lu Jieyi's eyebrows wrinkled, "Is it because of work? Is it really okay?"
"It's really okay," Lu Shoucai pinched his daughter's cheek, "Don't worry, dad will always be with you today."
The sadness on Lu Jieyi's face immediately disappeared, and she smiled on her father, "Hey, that's good... Keep your word, Dad."
The father and daughter opened the door and left while laughing.
This time Qin Yin and Wen Ling did not follow.
"The call he just made must have been to the manager," Qin Yin said, lying comfortably on the sofa, "it must be because of the child."
Wen Ling agreed, "Yeah."
The two of them didn't leave, partly because they didn't want to spend the painful time in a hot pot restaurant where they could only smell but not eat, and partly because they wanted to investigate clues related to the little baby.
The two of them looked at Lu Shoucai's room together.
If there really was something related to the baby, Lu Shoucai would definitely hide it in his room.
If you want to find out the identity of the child, this may be your only chance.
