134 Envious

As for the wild chicken and wild rabbit, she planned to make a pot of mountain mushroom chicken soup and spicy hand-torn rabbit. These were all hard dishes, and she was sure that Du Zhongheng would be able to eat them with a mouth full of fragrance. Just for such a sumptuous meal, she had to stay.

After setting the lunch menu, Mo Ruyue started to get busy.

If these dishes were placed in her interspace, she only needed to adjust the flow of time and they would be ready in an instant. However, she was not in a hurry. Other than the chicken soup, which took a longer time to cook in her interspace, she had to slowly cook the rest in the kitchen.

Just like that, another hour passed before Mo Ruyue finally finished preparing all the dishes. It was just after mealtime.

Mo Ruyue took out the claypot of chicken soup from the interspace and opened the lid of the stewed rice slightly to let out some heat. Only then did Mo Ruyue return to the door of the “classroom”. This time, she didn’t wait outside the door, but walked in directly.

“Mr Dean, you’ve worked hard. Take a rest. I’ve already prepared the meal.”

Du Zhongheng had long smelled the aroma of the food, and his stomach had growled countless times. However, because these children in front of him would be his future students, it was better not to ruin this good first impression, so he had been holding back.

His family’s financial situation wasn’t bad, and he had been living in luxury since he was a child. It could be said that he had tasted all kinds of delicacies, but the aroma he smelled this time was unusually alluring, and he didn’t know how many times he had swallowed his saliva.

Originally, he was thinking that when Mo Ruyue came over, he would take up the job of being a private tutor and then quickly bid farewell to go home for dinner. He didn’t expect that she would actually take the initiative to ask him to stay for dinner.

Although he was in the ”classroom” just now and didn’t go out, he didn’t miss the movement outside at all. The woman who claimed to be Lady Qin’s mother-in-law actually came to catch them in the act of adultery. It wasn’t that he didn’t think of this, but he didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

After all, there was a lot of gossip in front of a widow, and he was a young and handsome man. It was not surprising that he would attract gossip.

However, that so-called mother-in-law was so impatient that she came to catch Lady Qin in the act of adultery without even getting any evidence. It was obvious that she really wanted Lady Qin to be convicted.

However, baseless accusations were bound to backfire on her. Lady Qin’s performance just now had also amazed him. Although he couldn’t see her elegant demeanor at that time, Du Zhongheng had already imagined it in his mind, and it was almost the same.

As he thought of this, he didn’t respond to Mo Ruyue’s words in time, so she had to repeat herself.

“Ah? Oh, Madam Qin, you’re too polite. Actually, we can sign the contract now, and then I’ll go back for dinner.”

Du Zhongheng still tried to decline. It wasn’t that he was being unreasonable, but he thought of Mo Ruyue’s situation just now. Gossip was a fearful thing. A woman’s innocence was not a joke.

“Mr. Du, you’ve always regarded etiquette as nothing. Why are you so polite now? Could it be that you think that my countryside won’t have any good food and drinks to entertain you?”

Mo Ruyue raised an eyebrow, and her words had a hint of provocation.

“If Lady Qin doesn’t mind, then what else can I say? naturally, it’s better to obey than to be respectful.”

As expected, Du Zhongheng couldn’t stand being provoked. When he thought about how the other party didn’t mind being a widow while he, a man, was acting coy and pretentious, his face felt a little hot.

“In that case, please go out and wash your hands, Mr. Du. Da bao, bring your brothers and sisters to wash their hands. Remember to get a clean set of cutlery for Mr. Du. ”

Mo Ruyue instructed in an orderly manner and then walked to Da Bao’s desk. When he stood up, she sat down and took out a pen and paper as if she was going to write something.

“Lady Qin, if you want to write a contract, I think we should discuss it. When the time comes, I will write down your request clearly.”

Du Zhongheng boasted that using his knowledge to write a small contract was a waste of talent, but no matter what, it was still better than a woman’s.

“I’m not going to write the contract we signed before, but something else. Mr. Du, just follow Da Bao to wash your hands and prepare for dinner. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Mo Ruyue’s response made Du Zhongheng freeze. He had never thought that he would actually be thinking too much. What the other party wanted to write was not a contract at all.

He smiled awkwardly and did not know what to say. Fortunately, Da Bao said something to help him out of the situation.

“Sir, the water is ready. Come and wash your hands.”

“Then I’ll go out first.”

Du Zhongheng quickly walked down the stairs and followed Da Bao out of the “classroom”.

After Mo Ruyue quickly wrote something on the paper, she read it from beginning to end twice before drying the ink. She carefully folded it and put it in her arms. Then got up and went out to wash her hands and prepare for dinner.

Du Zhongheng had already been brought to the dining table by the babies and sat down. Beside him was a bowl full of rice, as well as half a bowl of chicken soup with meat and soup.

Seeing Mo Ruyue come in and sit down at the table, and the baby taking the initiative to serve her rice and soup, Du Zhongheng couldn’t help but smile and say, “Lady Qin, you really taught the children well.”

The guests and the host enjoyed their lunch, and the babies were used to having such a meal every few days.

But to Du Zhongheng, this meal was extremely enjoyable. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had to care about his image in front of the babies, he really wanted to open his stomach and clean up all the food on the table.

“Lady Qin, I finally know that there is such delicious food in this world. No, even if your cooking skills are compared to the Imperial chefs in the palace, it is not inferior. It is really envious that the babies can often eat such delicious food.”

He sighed with emotion, thinking that if his own chef could have such a skill, he would probably be fat like a ball in two or three months. Unfortunately, he could only think about it.

“I have prepared a small gift for Mr. Dean. There is nothing special in the mountains but there is more game. So I have prepared half a roast pig. I hope Mr. Dean doesn’t mind.”

Du Zhongheng’s eyes immediately lit up when Mo Ruyue finished speaking.

“I don’t mind! To tell you the truth, just now I felt that this roast suckling pig was fresh, tender, and fat, and it actually tasted better than domestic small pigs. I simply couldn’t stop eating, so how could I dislike it!”

His words made San Bao burst into laughter. She quickly covered her mouth and looked at him apologetically.

Du Zhongheng also laughed at himself and said, “It’s a little funny. I’m actually so greedy, right?”

“What’s wrong with having a desire for food? It’s just a normal need.”

Mo Ruyue shook her head, completely not taking Du Zhongheng’s loss of self-control to heart.

After the meal was over, Mo Ruyue let the babies prepare the bowls and chopsticks first, and then they returned to the “classroom” together to prepare to discuss the matters related to the signing of the contract.
