Chapter 151 Moral Kidnapping
"Just let the little girl downstairs go." Ge Fu said, spitting out the toothpaste foam in his mouth.
"I run fast!" Before he finished speaking, Lu Yao had disappeared.
Ge Fu also realized what he meant belatedly.
Tofu pudding has to be freshly prepared, so naturally it has to be someone who runs fast to get it.
Ge Fu had just finished brushing her teeth when Lu Yao came in with a lunch box. He put the lunch box on the dining table, opened it, and introduced it: "Ge Niang has developed new flavors, red oil chicken sauce, clear soup chicken sauce, and beef sauce. Do you want the new flavor or the old one?"
Watching him take out eight bowls of tofu pudding from the lunch box in a row, Ge Fu was stunned.
"Why did you take so much?"
"I haven't eaten it before, so of course I have to try them all." Lu Yao said confidently.
Ge Fu was speechless, "You eat this for breakfast?"
Ge Niang likes to study dishes. She originally made five flavors of tofu pudding, and now she has added three new flavors, which makes eight bowls. She can eat one bowl at most. After drinking seven bowls, can he still eat anything else?
——According to her observation, he is not the kind of person who would waste food.
"It's okay, leave the rest for Ping Hao and Zhang Junjie." Lu Yao said, "This tofu pudding Ge Niang doesn't want to make more, it's not easy for others in the mansion to eat it."
Besides, Ge Niang is the chef who is responsible for cooking for Ge Fu. Only supervisors like You Niang and close confidants like You Rong can eat her dishes from time to time. The servants eat meals prepared by other chefs, and the taste is much worse.
Lu Yao opened another food box, which contained breakfast such as fried dough sticks and buns.
"Someone downstairs presented us with some top-quality ham, so Ge Niang made some crispy buns for you. Try them." As he said that, he handed a crispy bun to Ge Fu.
You Rong had a complicated expression on her face. She always felt that after having Lu Langjun, there was no need for her to exist anymore.
Ge Fu finally chose the tofu pudding with chicken soup, and picked up a fried dough stick for Lu Yao and said, "Try the fried dough sticks made by Ge Niang. They look ordinary, but they are actually the most skillful. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and they go great with tofu pudding."
Of course Lu Yao knew it was delicious. He sighed and said, "Since I came to your house, I have never eaten anything that was not delicious."
Just then, You Rong was called away by You Niang. Ge Fu said indifferently, "You are a great commander. You must have eaten all kinds of delicious food."
"You think too highly of me." Lu Yao scooped a spoonful of beef sauce and tofu for Ge Fu to taste. Seeing that she liked it, he gave her half a bowl and then said, "Jindong was ruined by the previous president. When we arrived, there were almost no factories and shops still operating. It can be said that everything was in ruins. Before going to Jindong, I was able to feed the whole family. We had three meals a day in the army. The food in the army, even the food for officers... can't be said to be bad, but it is definitely not as exquisite as the food in your mansion."
So he really hasn't had any good food.
"Is this true?" Ge Fu didn't quite believe it. "You should have days off too, right? Don't you go out shopping and eating?" Some of the second-generation people she knew also went to the army. Except for their taller postures and better skills, they were not much different from ordinary people. During holidays, they would also make appointments with everyone to go out for dinner, shopping, and movies.
In fact, because there are not many places to spend money in the army, they spend more money after they are released.
"I always go out with my girlfriend when eating and shopping, why should I, a single guy, join in the fun?" What Lu Yao didn't say was that every time he went out, he would attract onlookers because of his face. Twice, he was on the hot search, and the authorities had to work hard to suppress it. Since then, he no longer likes to go out, and would rather stay in the barracks for training.
Ge Fu raised his eyebrows, "If that's the case, then you must have a lot of savings, right?" Jinglong was famous for his high treatment of soldiers. For someone at Lu Yao's level, his annual salary should be at least one million.
However, judging from his previous behavior, he didn't seem to be well-off.
Hearing this, Lu Yao touched his nose with a guilty look and said, "Well... I have spent all my money."
It would be a lie to say that he didn't regret it. He didn't keep any money for his wife. Sun Liao had just scolded him on the phone.
"Where did you spend it?" Ge Fu looked surprised.
You have to know that no matter which country the troops are from, they are provided with food, accommodation and medical care. If you don't leave the army, where can you spend the money?
Lu Yao coughed lightly and said, "I bought some old grain and sent it to the slums."
Seeing that Ge Fu's eyes were filled with admiration, he hurriedly said uncomfortably: "The slum is so big, no matter how high my annual salary and allowance are, the food I buy can't feed everyone."
After a pause, he said, "Don't think I'm great. In fact, many people in the slums hate me."
"I hate you, why?" Ge Fu really didn't understand.
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Because what they want is not just food, they hope that I can speak for them and ask the court to abolish the slums and let them have the same rights as ordinary people."
"I made it through and became a big shot in their eyes, so they thought I should do this. I didn't, so I was guilty in their eyes."
Ge Fu understood that, to put it bluntly, it was greed and selfishness.
Lu Yao looked at her and saw that there was no disappointment in her eyes. He was surprised. "When others heard this, they would ask me why I didn't try. They said that as long as I tried, even if I failed, I would shut up those people in the slums and gain their gratitude. It would also save me from being in a thankless job like now."
Ge Fu drank the last bit of tofu pudding in the bowl, and then said, "I don't like moral kidnapping." It cannot be said that what Lu Yao said by others was wrong, but... once Lu Yao did that, he became the spokesperson of the slums, his political stance was determined, and all aspects would be affected.
After eating and drinking, Ge Fu washed her face, put on makeup, tied her hair up, changed into a light brown woolen skirt, carried her bag and followed Lu Yao out.
"Where are you taking me?" Ge Fu asked curiously while sitting in the car.
"You'll know when you get there." Lu Yao refused to reveal the answer in advance.
Ge Fu turned to look at him and muttered, "So mysterious."
To be honest, she wasn't looking forward to it much, because Yaojing was her home turf after all - there was nothing she had not tried here, including food, drinks and entertainment. She didn't think Lu Yao could really give her much of a surprise.
However, when she got off the car and looked at the flower garden in front of her, she was still a little surprised.
"Are you bringing me here to buy flowers?" She was speechless.
It’s not that Ge Fu doesn’t like flowers, but... Have you ever seen anyone sending flowers by taking people to a store to buy them?
Besides, this flower garden is open on all sides and there is no physical store open to the public.
