Wei Xingzhou smiled, very happy. "No taking back your words, okay?"
Lu Wanqing: "..."
"I know," Lu Wanqing said.
"I won't regret it," she clarified.
Her third brother was still on the bug planet. She needed to stand in the most conspicuous position so that if her third brother wanted to see her, he could do so immediately.
"Then shall we have wontons tonight?" Wei Xingzhou said with a smile.
Lu Wanqing: "???"
Wei Xingzhou was happy and stood up. "Let's go, our family to the kitchen."
The kitchen that Lu Wanqing was accustomed to using, from the ancient Earth era over three thousand years ago, had already been renovated by Wei Xingzhou at home, and had even been in use for a long time.
Yes, it had been in use for over a year.
More than a year ago, Wei Xingzhou thought Lu Wanqing would be coming to their home soon, so he had people renovate a kitchen at home in the style of the ancient Earth era over three thousand years ago, the same style Lu Wanqing renovated in every child's home.
Due to an accident, Lu Wanqing was taken away by Harvey and didn't come to their home on time. However, this kitchen had not been idle during the year.
Lu Wanqing used to livestream her cooking, so the steps were all recorded.
For ordinary people, purchasing ingredients might be a significant expense, but for them, this amount of money was negligible.
In the past year, he and Cui Cui often cooked together in the kitchen. In the beginning, they made the dishes Lu Wanqing had made during her livestreams. Although they failed many times, after numerous failures, he and Cui Cui had honed their cooking skills. Later, they learned to make other dishes on their own.
Eventually, they not only made the dishes Lu Wanqing knew how to make but also attempted some dishes from the interstellar era.
Cui Cui really enjoyed cooking and even came up with a few dishes herself, which tasted very good.
Lu Wanqing followed Wei Xingzhou and Cui Cui to the kitchen, expecting to cook for them herself, as she had done at the Mu and Zhongli families before.
But soon, Wei Xingzhou rolled up his sleeves, took out the ingredients, and his proficient movements stunned Lu Wanqing. Wei Xingzhou could cook?
Not only Wei Xingzhou, but Lu Wanqing soon discovered that even the proud Cui Cui was a great helper. Whatever Wei Xingzhou needed, Cui Cui would hand it to him without him even asking. The tacit understanding between father and daughter was truly exceptional.
"You... can cook?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but ask.
"Of course," Wei Xingzhou said with a grin.
"Cui Cui and I know how to make a lot of things. If you want anything to eat in the future, just tell us, and Cui Cui and I will make it for you," Wei Xingzhou said with a smile.
Little Cui Cui pursed her lips, not speaking, but her sparkling eyes revealed her current happiness.
Lu Wanqing smiled, looking at Wei Xingzhou, then at Cui Cui, and truly felt that Wei Xingzhou was the most doting father she had ever met.
Since they could cook, Lu Wanqing didn't rush to do it. She watched from the side, helping Wei Xingzhou and Cui Cui.
After the wonton wrappers and fillings were prepared, Lu Wanqing finally got involved, making wontons with Wei Xingzhou.
Even little Cui Cui was making them, and the three of them working together was very heartwarming.
They made quite a lot of wontons, more than they could eat in one meal. However, the extra ones could be frozen in the freezer and cooked the next day, which would be much more convenient.
They made so many that their hands were a bit sore when they stopped.
After they finished wrapping, Wei Xingzhou took most of them to the freezer for storage. By the time he returned, Lu Wanqing had already put a pot on the stove and boiled water.
When the wontons were put in, a pot of fragrant wontons was almost ready.
"It smells delicious!" Little Cui Cui exclaimed.
"Mmm," Lu Wanqing nodded.
Little Cui Cui giggled again, happy.
After the wontons were cooked, Lu Wanqing put them in large bowls, and then they all went to the dining room to eat.
After eating their fill, it wasn't too late.
Wei Xingzhou looked at Lu Wanqing and asked, "Do you want to go out and play?"
"Outside?" Lu Wanqing asked, confused.
Little Cui Cui quickly nodded. "Yes, Mommy, the ancient Earth film and television city is very fun at night. There are lights everywhere, and many people set up stalls to sell things."
"Stalls?" Lu Wanqing was surprised.
Wei Xingzhou said, "Yes, there are many extras in the film and television city. Their salaries are not high, and sometimes they can't even get acting jobs. They can't support themselves solely by acting, so they use their free time to set up stalls in the film and television city to sell things and earn some money."
"Mommy, the way they set up stalls is still in the style of the ancient Earth era. They say that many people in the ancient Earth era used to set up stalls to make a living," Little Cui Cui said earnestly.
Lu Wanqing smiled and nodded. "Mmm."
The father and daughter's words reminded Lu Wanqing of a long time ago, in the ancient Earth era, when many people would indeed set up stalls at night.
"Then let's go out and have a look," Lu Wanqing said with a smile.
"Okay!" Little Cui Cui immediately agreed, clearly very happy.
Lu Wanqing looked at her grown-up daughter and couldn't help but reach out and pat the little one's head.
She felt truly sorry for taking so long to come and take care of her.
After Lu Wanqing agreed, Wei Xingzhou also became excited. They tidied up briefly and soon went out together.
The night fell unknowingly. The buildings in the ancient Earth film and television city were all modeled after the architecture of the ancient Earth era. So, as Lu Wanqing walked through the night market, the feeling of being back in the ancient Earth era returned, making her feel inexplicably familiar.
There were many stalls along the road, especially selling snacks.
To be honest, since coming to the interstellar era, Lu Wanqing had mostly cooked for herself and hadn't had many interstellar snacks.
Seeing Lu Wanqing's eyes lingering on the snack stalls, Wei Xingzhou immediately smiled and went over, buying some from the vendors. He handed one portion to Lu Wanqing and another to Cui Cui.
Little Cui Cui giggled again, happy.
Lu Wanqing was surprised, then accepted the snack and looked at Wei Xingzhou, thanking him. "Thank you."
Wei Xingzhou looked at Lu Wanqing and winked.
Lu Wanqing: "???"
Wei Xingzhou continued to wink.
Lu Wanqing's mind slowly caught up. She remembered that a long time ago, Wei Xingzhou had also helped her, and when she thanked him then, Wei Xingzhou's response was...
Verbal thanks were meaningless. If she really wanted to thank him, why not say more good things about him in front of Cui Cui?
Lu Wanqing thought about it, then suddenly smiled. She lowered her gaze to Cui Cui, then looked at Wei Xingzhou, and nodded.
Wei Xingzhou suddenly smiled, happy.
Lu Wanqing was indeed a clever girl; she understood his meaning without him needing to say much.
As Lu Wanqing walked, she suddenly saw a stall selling dolls. She couldn't help but think of Cui Cui. In the ancient Earth era, girls loved dolls the most.
Thinking this, Lu Wanqing couldn't help but walk towards those dolls.
Wei Xingzhou and Cui Cui were stunned for a moment, then followed her.
Lu Wanqing squatted down in front of the stall and carefully selected. Among these dolls, she even saw giant pandas, Bai Ze, little foxes, phoenixes, and qilin. There were even models of the little Azure Dragon mechs she had made for Little Harvey later on. These dolls were made in the likeness of those mechs and were quite cute.
