Chapter 344 Snake Soup
"Little Laizi, eat now. I'll get you a bowl of good food."
Sha Zhu walked in with a smile on his face, holding a bowl of soup in his hand.
"Brother Zhuzi, this can't be your snake, right?" He Lai looked at the cylindrical meat in the bowl and knew it must be the snake. After all, if it was an eel, Sha Zhu would not have specially sent it over.
"Haha, Xiao Laizi is really smart. That's right, this is the snake soup I just made. I added shredded bird meat, bamboo shoots, fungus, ginger slices, and eggs. It smells delicious. Come and try it!"
Sha Zhu put the snake soup in front of He Lai and said.
He Lai pushed the bowl back in front of Sha Zhu and said, "Brother Zhu, why don't you take a bite first? I feel a little weak."
He Lai looked at the snake soup and for some reason suddenly thought of the appearance of a cobra and was a little hesitant to eat it.
"Hey, Xiao Laizi, you are so timid! My father even dares to eat snake gall!"
Seeing that He Lai didn't dare to try it, Sha Zhu could only pick up the spoon and take a sip himself.
"Well, it's really good and delicious. Xiao Laizi, you can eat it." Sha Zhu then pushed the bowl back to He Lai and said with a smile.
He Lai looked at Sha Zhu and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, you eat first, I will eat later."
When the two were being courteous, they suddenly heard a voice behind them: "Brother, come on, what are you two eating?"
It turned out to be Yu Shui who came out holding a pillow. She saw the two of them being polite to each other over a bowl of food and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
He Lai quickly replied: "Yu Shui, your brother made this meat soup especially for you. He said it's delicious. Come and try it." As he said that, he brought the bowl of steaming meat soup to Yu Shui.
When Yu Shui heard that it was for her, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face. She took the bowl impatiently, sniffed it gently, and then drank a sip carefully.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Yu Shui couldn't help but exclaimed. Then, she drank it in big gulps, enjoying the delicious meat soup.
However, when she was halfway through drinking, she suddenly stopped and asked in confusion: "What kind of meat is this? It tastes very special."
Sha Zhu smiled smugly and said proudly: "This is the snake I changed yesterday. It tastes good, right? I cooked it for more than an hour!"
When Yu Shui heard this, her face turned pale instantly. She widened her eyes and looked at Sha Zhu and He Lai in disbelief, and the spoon in her hand fell to the ground.
"What? Snake?" Yu Shui screamed in horror. She immediately put down the bowl, covered her mouth, rushed to the kitchen, and vomited.
He Lai and Sha Zhu looked at each other, not knowing what to do. He Lai thought that he was doomed, because Rain Water was most afraid of snakes, and he had originally wanted to let Rain Water eat it to avoid Sha Zhu's embarrassment, but he still messed it up.
"What snake? What snake? Where is it?" Wu Juan heard the rain shouting and came out.
"That mother, it was Brother Zhuzi who sent a bowl of snake meat soup, but without the snake."
He Lai picked up the spoon on the ground and explained.
"What's wrong with the rain?" Wu Juan was relieved when she heard there was no snake.
"Maybe I didn't make it clear just now that it was snake meat soup. Yu Shui got scared when she heard Brother Zhuzi say it was snake soup."
He Lai said in a low voice, "Hey, idiot Zhu, can't you wait until you finish drinking the rain water and talk about it later?"
"You kid, just mess with the rain, I'll go take a look."
At this time, Wu Juan also knew what was wrong with Yu Shui. She said a word of scolding and walked into the kitchen.
"Brother Zhuzi, you talk so fast! You will have to explain to Yushui yourself later."
"Hey, I'm giving it to you to eat. I don't care. I'm leaving first." Sha Zhu also realized that something was wrong and ran away quickly.
He Lai was speechless for a while. Just when he was thinking about whether he should go back and avoid the limelight, He Zhan came back.
"Dad, Brother Zhuzi brought us a bowl of snake soup. It's delicious. Try it!"
He Lai quickly handed over the remaining half bowl of snake soup.
He Zhan smiled and said, "Oh, really? Let me try it. When your father and I were fighting in the war, we ate a lot of this."
After saying that, he took the bowl and took a sip.
"Well, not bad, not bad. Zhuzi's craftsmanship is really getting better and better."
"Yeah, this snake soup is really delicious!" He Lai deliberately raised his voice.
"Well, snake soup warms the stomach and makes the stomach feel comfortable after eating it.
Hey, Rain, what’s wrong with you?”
He Zhan was talking to He Lai when Yu Shui came out accompanied by Wu Juan.
"Ask your good son, who tricked Rainwater into drinking snake soup and frightened it into vomiting."
Wu Juan rolled her eyes at He Lai and said.
"Uh... this... Xiao Laizi, can't you just behave yourself? You only know how to bully Yu Shui!"
He Zhan thought about it and everyone pointed their criticism at He Lai.
"Um... that's actually not my fault. I didn't know this was snake soup. It was Zhuzi who didn't explain it clearly. Yushui, I'm sorry!"
He Lai could only apologize and minimize his guilt.
"You said this pillar too, snake soup is just snake soup, why are you hiding it?"
Although Wu Juan didn't believe what He Lai said, she still pushed the responsibility onto Sha Zhu, because He Lai was her beloved son.
"Rainwater, don't be afraid. Uncle He often eats this snake soup. Zhuzi makes it very delicious."
He Zhan said this and took another sip.
"Dad, I'm going to take the rain back. You guys should go to bed early."
He Lai looked at Yu Shui with embarrassment and stopped her from facing the snake soup.
“Okay, Yushui, go back and get yourself something to eat, or you’ll be hungry at night.”
Wu Juan gave an instruction.
"I understand, Mom." Yu Shui agreed and went back with He Lai.
arrive home
"Yushui, I brought you some strawberries. Wash them and eat them yourself later. Don't be angry with me, okay?"
He Lai could only take out the prepared strawberries from the cloth bag and comfort her.
"Okay, I forgive you, brother."
When Yu Shui saw the strawberries, he immediately forgot about the snake soup and went to the kitchen with the strawberries.
As expected, women have no resistance to good-looking and delicious fruits. Fortunately, there are plenty of fruits in He Lai’s space!
……
A few days passed and it was time for the rain to come.
He Lai and Sha Zhu brought Yu Shui here. After all, students in technical secondary school need to live on campus and have to stay in school.
He Lai and Sha Zhu had to help Yu Shui carry these daily necessities and other things.
Arriving at the door of the girls' dormitory, He Lai asked the dormitory manager.
"Auntie, my sister just arrived. Can we go up and help her make her bed?"
"How can that be! Men cannot enter the girls' dormitory. This is the rule. Just let her go up by herself. She is a girl and she doesn't know how to clean up."
Seeing that He Lai and Sha Zhu were young, the dormitory manager decisively rejected He Lai's request.
"Brother Lai, it's okay, I can do it myself." Yu Shui immediately expressed his opinion.
"Okay then. Take the quilt and other bedding up first. Remember to wipe the bed board before making the bed. I'll help you keep an eye on the other things downstairs."
He Lai had no choice but to give instructions.
"I understand." Yu Shui agreed and went upstairs carrying a quilt and other things.
He Lai was bored, so he started chatting with the dormitory manager. In this era, women give candies and men pass cigarettes, so everything is easy!
Soon He Lai successfully brought the dormitory manager into Yu Shui's camp by giving her a dozen candies.
The dormitory manager repeatedly assured that she would take good care of Yu Shui, but she was still not allowed to go to the girls' dormitory. If any girl called her a hooligan, her job as a dormitory manager would be over.
