On New Year's Eve, Lu Zhengfei took Chen Qianqing back to the place where Mr. Lu lived.
After several checkpoints, Lu Zhengfei drove to the military compound compound where Mr. Lu lived. Lu Zhengfei's grandfather's name is Lu Guochang, and he will be 90 years old in two years, but although he is old, his body is still strong.
When Lu Zhengfei brought Chen Qianqing into the house, Lu Guochang was sitting on the sofa chatting with Lu Zhengfei's two uncles, while a few aunts at the table were making dumplings. Everyone saw Chen Qianqing walking in behind Lu Zhengfei, with a smile on his face. I was a little surprised, but the old man didn't speak, and no one came out to say anything.
But the second aunt, who had been hurting Lu Zhengfei, saw Lu Zhengfei coming and greeted, "Zhengfei, you're back."
Lu Zhengfei put the gift he brought to Lu Guochang aside, stepped forward to greet everyone, and called Grandpa again.
During this period, although Lu Zhengfei kept holding Chen Qianqing's hand, everyone tacitly ignored Chen Qianqing. They talked to Lu Zhengfei and asked how Lu Zhengfei was doing recently.
Everyone has been secretly observing Lu Guochang's face. After finding that he did not respond, they also understood Lu Zhengfei's matter. I am afraid that Lu Guochang acquiesced.
After Chen Qianqing entered the room, he behaved very quietly, not as nervous as when he first met his parents, and even when Lu Guochang asked him, he went forward and back in a moderate manner, without a trace of cowardice.
Lu Guochang has been in the top position for decades, and even though he is almost ninety years old, he still has a taste of not being angry and arrogant. He looked at Chen Qianqing and asked some seemingly insignificant questions.
Chen Qianqing answered all of them. When Lu Guochang asked about his parents, he was silent for two seconds before he said lightly, "He died in a car accident a few years ago."
Hearing such an answer, Lu Guochang glanced at Lu Zhengfei. He clearly remembered that his grandson, after the sudden accident of Lu Zhongqian and Huang Yuping, insisted on the appearance of the principal, so he looked at Chen Qianqing, and his eyes softened a lot. Said: "When you are young, it is not easy for our older generation to intervene. Since we are together, we will have a good time."
Even if Lu Guochang has justified the names of Lu Zhengfei and Chen Qianqing, at least in their Lu family, no one has the qualifications to gossip.
Chen Qianqing was still very gentle as always. When Lu Zhengfei answered questions from his family, he always had a faint smile on his face, which made people look very good.
Before Lu Zhengfei came, some Chen Qianqing was criticized, but he had made up his mind. If anyone dared to show Chen Qianqing's face, don't blame him for turning his face.
Not long after Lu Zhengfei sat down, his sister Lu Yiqin also arrived.
Compared with a few years ago, Lu Yiqin is no longer as charming as she was when she was young. The deaths of Lu Zhonggan and Huang Yuping have hit her so hard that she has not been able to recover until now.
She was wearing a thick coat and light makeup, and she looked stubborn. When entering the room, Lu Yiqin looked at Lu Zhengfei with a sad look, but when this look was placed on Chen Qianqing, it turned into hatred and disgust.
In Lu Yiqin's eyes, she felt that Chen Qianqing had taken away Lu Zhengfei's love for her, and she stubbornly believed that as long as Chen Qianqing disappeared, Lu Zhengfei would love her as before.
Lu Guochang also felt sorry for Lu Yiqin's granddaughter, and when she saw her entering the house, he called her to his side to talk.
Lu Yiqin sat next to Lu Guochang, but her face was not very good-looking. She glared at Chen Qianqing and Lu Zhengfei who were sitting opposite her, with an expression of resentment that could not be concealed.
Lu Guochang also saw it. He touched Lu Yiqin's head and sighed, "Yiqin, it's not easy for your brother." The implication was that he wanted Lu Yiqin to be more tolerant.
Lu Yiqin sneered. She didn't plan to give her grandpa this face. She said, "It's not easy? What's not easy? His parents are dead, but he is eager to play with men. He's still such a bad guy who's been played by others."
Lu Zhengfei's face changed suddenly, he said coldly to Lu Yiqin: "Lu Yiqin, tell me what you just said again."
I don't know if it was because of Lu Guochang's presence that Lu Yiqin felt a backer for herself. She stood up directly, pointed at Chen Qianqing and scolded: "You scold me for such a bad person? Lu Zhengfei, you know who your sister is..."
Before the last word "sister" was uttered, she was slapped heavily on the face.
Lu Zhengfei's body trembled slightly because of his anger, and his voice even had some hoarseness. He said, "Lu Yiqin, if you keep talking, I, Lu Zhengfei, don't have your sister."
Lu Yiqin burst into tears, she choked and said, "You hit me, you hit me for him..."
If you didn't know it, I thought it was a bloody romance drama.
Chen Qianqing had been very calm during this time, and there was no shame or anger on his face. He even looked at Lu Yiqin with a little pity in his eyes.
In this life, without the protection of Lu Chongqian and Huang Yuping, Lu Yiqin is destined to suffer more. She could have lived as proudly as a princess, but she who never knew her satisfaction ended up being miserable like a beggar.
Lu Zhengfei said: "Lu Yiqin, if you say these words in front of me again, don't blame me for being rude." When Lu Zhonggan and Huang Yuping had an accident, he was the one who resisted, and Lu Yiqin, who dared not accept the fact, became a deserter, and even On the day that Lu Chongqian and Huang Yuping were buried, she did not appear.
Afterwards, she also requested to go abroad for recuperation.
Lu Yiqin burst into tears, and Lu Zhengfei's aunts had no choice but to comfort her. The originally lively and lively year became a little uncomfortable because of this unexpected event.
Lu Zhengfei didn't expect his sister to be so ignorant.
In the end, Lu Yiqin stopped crying, but the hatred in his eyes became much stronger.
Lu Guochang saw it in his eyes and just sighed, he said, "Yiqin, from now on, you and your brother will depend on each other for life. You are too old to be sensible."
Lu Yiqin didn't speak, but smiled sullenly.
Chen Qianqing saw all this in his eyes. He saw Lu Yiqin's disgust, as if he saw that she deliberately slandered Lu Zhengfei in front of the real Chen Qianqing in his previous life.
In her last life, Lu Yiqin was happy. She married a man who loved her and had two children. She should have been full of love for this world. But she hurt Chen Qianqing and Lu Zhengfei in the most vicious way.
Chen Qianqing took a sip of the tea in the cup in front of him, and showed an indifferent smile at Lu Yiqin.
Lu Yiqin saw Chen Qianqing's smile, but for some reason, she could see the taste of her brother Lu Zhengfei from Chen Qianqing's smile.
The dumplings were wrapped and cooked.
The second aunt asked Chen Qianqing what kind of dumplings to eat, and Chen Qianqing said, cabbage and pork will do.
Lu Zhengfei asked, "Didn't you like eating leeks before?"
Chen Qianqing said, "That was before."
Lu Zhengfei laughed: "That's right, it's been so many years."
Before the dumplings were served, Lu Zhengfei prepared the seasonings for Chen Qianqing. He didn't eat garlic, and only put some vinegar in the dumplings, which was just in line with Chen Qianqing's taste.
Lu Yiqin was not sitting next to Lu Zhengfei. At this time, she was like a plant that had been drained of water, and her dry appearance always reminded people of death.
Lu Zhengfei had a good appetite and ate a lot. Chen Qianqing had never eaten much, so he only ate eleven or two, and then stopped with chopsticks.
The aunt who was serving dumplings asked him if it was not to his taste and if he wanted some porridge, Chen Qianqing politely refused.
In fact, Lu Zhengfei's two uncles loved Lu Zhengfei very much. After Lu Chongqian and Huang Yuping passed away, they loved this nephew even more.
Although he knew that Lu Zhengfei was in love with a man, Lu Guochang's attitude had already shown everything, as long as Lu Zhengfei felt happy, that would be fine.
In addition, Chen Qianqing's image is completely different from those men who put on makeup and powder in their minds, so the attitude towards Chen Qianqing has also eased a lot.
Lu Zhengfei was happy to see such a situation, he secretly hooked Chen Qianqing's hand under the table, and then showed a big smile. Seeing this, Chen Qianqing acted as if he hadn't seen it. After pulling his hand back, he squinted at Lu Zhengfei.
Lu Zhengfei smiled indifferently, and continued to eat dumplings.
After eating the dumplings, Lu Zhengfei's cousin and cousin just came back.
They were also a little surprised to see Chen Qianqing sitting at home, but the young people were very receptive, and they quickly accepted this matter and started chatting with Lu Zhengfei about something.
During this period, Lu Yiqin seemed extremely unsocial. She didn't say a word, just looked at Lu Zhengfei and Chen Qianqing with a creepy look, and only answered vaguely when others asked her what to do.
Lu Zhengfei just pretended that he didn't see it. What Lu Yiqin did had already made him feel a little cold. If she did things that she shouldn't do behind her back, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep this last bit of brother-sister relationship.
Chen Qianqing chatted slowly with Mr. Lu. He knew the old man better than Lu Zhengfei, so when chatting, he felt a little bit like what he wanted.
At first, Lu Guochang was just afraid of Chen Qianqing's embarrassment, so he deliberately found some topics. Later, he chatted with Chen Qianqing more and more speculatively, and even the Spring Festival Gala could not attract him.
Lu Zhengfei saw that Chen Qianqing and Lu Guochang were talking more and more vigorously, and it was a little tasteful: "Grandpa, he usually doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't talk that much with me."
Lu Guochang rolled his eyes and scolded, "You little bastard, even your grandfather's jealousy."
Lu Zhengfei smiled and said, "Why, am I afraid that I will tire you out if I talk too much?"
Lu Guochang said, "I'm afraid I'm tired? I think you feel sorry for others! You're looking for a good friend, and your elbows started to turn outwards."
Lu Zhengfei laughed directly.
Chen Qianqing also smiled, this year has been the most enjoyable year for Chen Qianqing since Liu Huamei and Chen Qingyang passed away.
He looked at Lu Zhengfei, and Lu Guochang, who was talking to Lu Zhengfei, his eyes softened involuntarily.
If it keeps going, it might be fine.
