Chapter 296 Deliberately making things difficult for Sha Zhu!
They ate and chatted. Lu Ning talked about his youth, and Sha Zhu occasionally interjected a few words. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Halfway through the meal, Lu Ning suddenly sighed: "Life now is so much better than before. In the past, we had to work so hard to fill our stomachs."
Sha Zhu nodded and said with empathy: "Yes, although life is not rich now, at least we don't have to worry about a meal."
They chatted like this, reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future. After dinner, Sha Zhu put away the dishes and prepared to wash them. Lu Ning stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work today, Sha Zhu. When you have time in the future, come and sit with me more often and let's chat."
Sha Zhu smiled and replied, "You are right. I will come here often when I have time."
Lu Ning nodded with satisfaction and walked back to his room. He sat at his desk and flipped through an old photo album, which contained photos of him when he was young. Some of them were yellowed, but each one carried his precious memories. He couldn't help but sigh softly: "Time is unforgiving, but some things will never change."
Sha Zhu was washing dishes in the kitchen. He looked out the window at the sunset and felt satisfied. Although life is not always satisfactory, as long as there is peace and satisfaction in the heart, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it.
After he finished cleaning up, he returned to the yard and saw Lu Ning still flipping through the photo album. He walked over and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Lu Ning raised his head and said with a smile: "This is a photo of me when I was young. It's quite interesting to think about it."
Sha Zhu leaned over, took a look at the photo in the album, and said with emotion: "I never thought that you were also a handsome guy when you were young."
Lu Ning laughed: "Of course, everyone has a time when they are young and in their prime."
The two chatted for a while until it got dark, and then Sha Zhu said goodbye and went home. Back in his little house, Sha Zhu lay on the bed, thinking about everything that happened today, and his heart was filled with warmth and satisfaction. He knew that it was these ordinary little things in life that made up the whole meaning of his life.
As the night deepened, the courtyard gradually became quiet. The stars twinkled in the night sky, as if telling endless stories. Sha Zhu closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed that he and Lu Ning were chatting together, and their laughter echoed in the courtyard, as if he had returned to that carefree time.
The next morning, the sun shone through the curtains into the room. Sha Zhu opened his eyes and greeted the new day. He knew that no matter how life changed, some emotions and memories would never fade. He walked out of the room, facing the morning light, and began a busy day. In the courtyard, Lu Ning also got up early and started his day.
This courtyard has witnessed their joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, and also carries their countless memories. Here, every day is a new beginning, and every day has new hope. No matter what the road ahead is, they will continue to move forward, because they have a love for life and a vision for the future in their hearts.
So, they continued their ordinary yet extraordinary life in the courtyard.
Not long after, Lu Ning forced Sha Zhu to cook again.
Sha Zhu stood in the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife, but his heart was filled with resentment. Although he promised to cook for Lu Ning, the resentment in his heart could not be dissipated. Every time he saw Lu Ning's smug smile, he wanted to smash the kitchen knife in his hand hard on the ground. However, reality did not allow him to do so. Sha Zhu knew that if he really did this, the consequences would probably be even more serious.
"Hmph, Lu Ning, just wait, I will definitely find a chance to take revenge on you." Sha Zhu muttered to himself with gritted teeth.
He began to prepare dinner, his knife skills were still skillful, the kitchen knife rose and fell quickly on the chopping board, making a crisp sound. Although he was reluctant, he did the work without hesitation. After all, this was his job and the skill he relied on for a living.
Lu Ning sat in the yard, listening to the sound of cutting vegetables from the kitchen, with a smug smile on his face. He knew that Sha Zhu was unhappy, but he didn't care. For him, being able to make Sha Zhu surrender was already a victory. Besides, no matter how unwilling Sha Zhu was, he could only vent in the kitchen, and there was almost no chance for him to do anything.
The meal was soon ready, and Sha Zhu came out with the steaming dishes and placed them on the table. Lu Ning looked at the delicious meal, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand, signaling Sha Zhu to leave.
Sha Zhu was indignant, but he could only retreat silently. He knew that he could not confront Lu Ning directly yet, so he could only endure. After returning to his room, he began to think about how to take revenge on Lu Ning.
In the dead of night, Sha Zhu lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to let go of his hatred for Lu Ning. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
"Since you like the food I cook so much, I will make sure you don't enjoy it." Sha Zhu muttered to himself.
The next day, Sha Zhu got up early and prepared the food for the day. During the preparation, he secretly added some extremely spicy chili powder to a dish. He got this chili powder from an old friend. He usually didn't dare to use it too much, but today he decided to use it to deal with Lu Ning.
After the food was served, Lu Ning started eating as usual. He didn't notice anything unusual in the first few bites. However, when he ate the dish with chili powder added, his face suddenly changed.
"What is this?" Lu Ning put down his chopsticks and frowned.
Sha Zhu stood aside, feeling proud in his heart, but pretending to be innocent on his face. "This is a new dish, don't you like it?"
Lu Ning glared at Sha Zhu fiercely, then picked up another bite of food and put it in his mouth. The spicy taste quickly spread in his mouth, his face became redder and redder, and sweat began to appear on his forehead.
"What are you doing?" Lu Ning finally couldn't help but explode.
Sha Zhu pretended to be surprised and said, "I'm sorry, I thought you liked spicy food, it seems I misunderstood."
Although Lu Ning was angry, he couldn't get angry too much, so he could only hold back his anger and ask Sha Zhu to make another dish without chili. Sha Zhu left with satisfaction, thinking that although this revenge was not too excessive, at least he felt relieved.
However, Lu Ning was not someone who was easily defeated. A few days later, he suddenly asked Sha Zhu to cook new dishes in different ways every day without any repetition. This was undoubtedly a huge challenge for Sha Zhu. He knew that Lu Ning was deliberately making things difficult for him.
