As the family walked into the living room, Mrs. Liu immediately brought the prepared fruits and prepared refreshments for everyone.
"We will all have dinner here today at noon, and Mrs. Liu's dishes are ready." Mr. Mu had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was extremely happy. Last night, after hearing Chu Xinning explain her reconciliation with Mu Tianye, the old man was happy all night long. I didn't fall asleep. This was the first time in so many years that my daughter-in-law and grandson sat together so happily.
"Yes, yes, keep them all!" Chu Xinning stood up with a smile, "Today at noon, I will cook, so everyone can try my cooking skills."
"Then I won't leave, and I'll get some luck with Xiaofei!" Ye Qiao stood up with a smile, "Of course, you can't just eat and not work. I'm good at washing dishes and stuff like that!"
"And me!" Ji Mo also stood up with a smile.
"No, no, no!" Mr. Mu stopped the two of them with a smile, "You don't have to do anything."
"Yes, please sit down. Don't be polite as a family. You can chat with the elderly. The food will be ready soon." After saying that, she pushed Ji Mo and Ye Qiao back to the sofa and walked into the kitchen with Mrs. Liu. .
The lunch was extremely sumptuous, with various dishes spread out on the table. There was nothing too extravagant, just home-cooked dishes, but everyone ate happily.
Mr. Mu naturally asked Sister Liu to open the wine, and everyone except Ning Xiaofei drank more or less.
We chatted while eating until noon. Mrs. Liu prepared the fillings, and everyone started to make dumplings together. They also ate dinner together. They chatted until about eight o'clock in the night, and then they finally parted ways.
Mu Tianye arranged for the driver to send Ji Mo, Ye Qiao and others away. Mrs. Liu and the nanny packed up the coffee table together. When they sat down again, there was no one else around the coffee table.
After all, Chu Xinning still thought about Qin Zhaoyang, fearing that he would be lonely alone, so she sat for a while and then stood up.
"It's getting late. You guys should go to bed early. I'll... go back first."
Ning Xiaofei and Mu Tianye stood up together and sent her outside. Lin Zifan had already called the driver. When they came out, the car was already parked not far away.
Several people sent Chu Xinning to the car. The car drove away from the old house and stopped under a tree not far away. Qin Zhaoyang, who was waiting there, got in the car - he was afraid that Mu Tianye would be unhappy when he saw him, so he did not follow him all the way. Laozhai went to pick him up - feeling the man's considerate mood, Chu Xinning reached out to hold his arm.
"Just wait at the hotel, why do you have to come in person?"
"Wouldn't this help me see you earlier?"
Chu Xinning was startled, then smiled, "You... you are getting older, but you have become sweeter."
Qin Zhaoyang said nothing, but raised his lips and smiled.
Those love words that he was too embarrassed to say when he was young, now he has to make up for them one by one.
…
…
In the old house.
Mrs. Liu had already tidied up Mu Tianye's room. Mu Tianye sent Ning Xiaofei upstairs and went downstairs to help her get milk. He noticed that the light was on in the room where his parents lived. He stopped in confusion and gently Push the door open.
In front of the table where his father's photo was placed, Mr. Mu was pouring wine from a glass. He placed the filled glass in front of his son's photo, and the old man spoke softly.
"Today, Dad will have a drink with you. This is the first time in so many years that Dad is so happy. Don't blame Dad, it has not been easy for Xin Ning these years. Speaking of which, it is our Mu family who has been sorry for her. It is rare that she also has a good friend." Dad can rest assured that he will return home!"
As he spoke, the old man touched his cup lightly to the one on the table, raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.
