Lu Yao could faintly hear Lu Baiquan's laughter, and then heard Ji Guanxin say: "Thank you, uncle, I like eating dumplings stuffed with chicken. You are waiting for us to go back. We will help you make them together."
Lu Yao knew that Ji Guanxin went home yesterday and had a drink with Lu Baiquan, but is friendship between men so easy to establish? Listening to Ji Guanxin chatting with Lu Baiquan. There was no pressure on either of them. Ji Guanxin chatted with Lu Baiquan for five minutes as if no one else was around, and then handed her the phone.
Lu Yao took the phone over at the same time. He looked at Ji Guanxin with surprised and strange eyes.
Lu Baiquan said, "Yaoyao, tell me. What else does Guan Xin like to eat? I'll prepare some for him."
Lu Yao said: "No need, dad. He can eat anything."
Lu Baiquan said: "He came all the way from Night City to be a guest at home. Dad will prepare something for him that he likes to eat. You tell him quickly, or I will prepare it. He doesn't like to eat. It's okay. It’s a delay.”
Lu Yao told Lu Baiquan that she was sorry. It feels like a new son-in-law has arrived. She instinctively turned sideways towards the car door and replied in a low voice: "Dad. He just likes chicken, so just make him some dumplings stuffed with chicken."
Lu Baiquan heard this. He responded: "Okay, I understand. You guys have a rest in the car for a while, and you can eat ready-made food when you get home."
Lu Yao hung up the phone and Ji Guanxin said softly: "You didn't even say thank you to uncle for me."
There were Jiang Rui and Lu Chi in the car. Lu Yao was embarrassed to talk to Ji Guanxin about this matter, so she just responded casually and stopped talking.
Ji Guanxin picked up his cell phone and sent her a text message. She looked down and saw that it read: Seeing how much your dad likes me, my prospective son-in-law will hopefully come in soon.
Lu Yao pursed her pretty lips and quickly replied: Shameless.
On the way back, Ji Guanxin and Lu Yao kept their heads down and poked at their phones. They laughed and winked at other times, which made Jiang Rui and Lu Chi feel that they were super redundant. If they could be invisible, they would have stayed away.
Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, the car parked downstairs in a certain community, and four people got out of the car doors on both sides. Jiang Rui and Lu Chi went to the trunk to get things, including gifts and various nutritional supplements bought for Lu Baiquan.
Ji Guanxin helped Lu Yao carry her luggage, but none of the three men let Lu Yao carry anything.
When going upstairs, an old man in his seventies or eighties with white hair walked downstairs on a cane. Lu Yao went up to her and helped her arm, smiling and saying, "Grandma Dong."
The old man looked at Lu Yao and was stunned for a few seconds. After a few seconds, he said in surprise: "Is it Yaoyao?"
Lu Yao smiled and said, "It's me. Is Grandma Dong okay?"
The old man smiled and went to hold Lu Yao's hand, and replied with some joy: "I'm fine, I've always been fine. I haven't seen you for many years. The last time I saw you, it seemed like you just went to college... It was like a blink of an eye. , you have grown so much, you are even more beautiful than you were when you were a child.”
Lu Chi, Ji Guanxin and Jiang Rui were all standing under the two steps behind Lu Yao.
The old man glanced at Lu Chi and said with a smile, "Did your brother pick you up?"
Lu Yao nodded. The old man looked at Ji Guanxin, then at Jiang Rui, and asked bluntly: "Which one is your boyfriend?"
Lu Yao glanced at Ji Guanxin shyly and replied softly: "He is."
Ji Guanxin's mouth was so sweet. He immediately smiled and said: "Hello, Grandma Dong, I am Ji Guanxin."
The old man didn't recognize who Ji Guanxin was, but said truthfully: "This young man is good-looking, fair and handsome." After saying that, she asked again: "Are you in your twenties this year?"
Ji Guanxin smiled and replied: "Grandma, I'm thirty-three."
"How many?"
"Thirty-three." Ji Guanxin answered again, speaking with standard accuracy.
The old man seemed a little surprised. His first reaction was to look at Lu Yao and ask her, "How old is Yaoyao this year?"
Lu Yao smiled lightly and replied: "I'm twenty-two."
"Hey, you guys are eleven years apart. I really can't tell." She looked at Ji Guanxin's face again and said, "This kid looks really young. I thought he was twenty-six or seven."
This topic was somewhat awkward for young people to discuss, but the old man didn't take it seriously. Lu Yao secretly looked at Ji Guanxin's face, but saw that he smiled calmly and used his ability to catch up with whomever he could chat with. , I spent a long time chatting with Grandma Dong.
Finally, Lu Baiquan saw them from the balcony on the second floor and shouted: "Yao Yao."
Lu Yao heard the sound and looked over. Lu Bai was wearing plaid half-sleeves and an apron. He was standing by the balcony window, waving the spatula in his hand to her.
"Dad!" Lu Yao smiled and waved to him.
Seeing this, Grandma Dong hurriedly said: "Hurry up, you can't come back a few times throughout the year, your dad misses you, go back quickly."
Several people said hello to Grandma Dong, and then they carried their things and stepped onto the second floor platform.
When they reached the door, Lu Baiquan had already opened the door and came to greet him. Lu Yao called "Dad" and then stepped up to hug him.
"Woof... woof woof..."
There was a dog barking in the room. Lu Yao was very sensitive and immediately went out after hearing the sound. She saw the familiar plush chubby man standing in front of the sofa two meters away, wagging his tail towards her.
"Young pretty boy!" Lu Yao's beautiful eyes widened, she was particularly surprised.
She immediately squatted down and clapped her hands towards it. The little pretty boy hadn't seen Lu Yao for a while. Now he spread his legs and ran towards her. Lu Yao directly hugged her.
I haven't seen it for more than half a month. It seems to have grown a lot, and it is obvious that it is very heavy when held in my arms. It is estimated to weigh 20 to 30 pounds.
Lu Baiquan greeted Ji Guanxin and Jiang Rui warmly. Lu Chi said, "Dad, Jiang Rui bought you something."
Lu Baiquan said: "Come here, what else do you want to buy? Guan Xin also brought so many things here yesterday..."
Just now, Lu Yao saw Jiang Rui and the others opening the trunk and taking out so many gifts. She also thought about whether it would be bad if Ji Guanxin came over empty-handed. She didn't care about this, but it was a courtesy after all.
But now it seems that she thinks too much, Ji Guanxin is so cunning... No, he is a shrewd person, how could he forget such basic etiquette
Lu Baiquan took Jiang Rui and Lu Chi into the kitchen to put things away. Only Lu Yao and Ji Guanxin were left in the living room.
Seeing her hugging and kissing the pretty boy, Ji Guanxin felt unbalanced and couldn't help but say, "Why didn't I see you be so enthusiastic towards me yesterday?"
Hearing this, Lu Yao subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the kitchen, then turned to frown and glare at Ji Guanxin, lowering her voice and saying, "Keep your voice down, don't be too arrogant."
Ji Guanxin reached out and clasped the back of her head, then lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. Before Lu Yao could resist, he had already let go, and she heard Lu Baiquan and the others coming out of the kitchen.
Sure enough, when I turned around, I saw that the three of them had walked to the kitchen door.
"Come on, Jiang Rui, come and sit in the living room."
Jiang Rui and Ji Guanxin were both guests, and Lu Baiquan entertained them warmly. On the sofa in the living room, several people sat down one after another.
Lu Baiquan asked: "Should Jiang Rui and Guan Xin have tea or drinks?"
The former smiled and said: "Don't be busy, uncle, I won't drink."
Ji Guanxin said: "Uncle usually likes to drink tea. I heard people say that the clouds in Lushan Mountain are not bad, and drinking green tea will not affect your sleep."
He had already done his homework when he came and found out all of Lu Baiquan's preferences. So this question hit Lu Baiquan's heart. He smiled and replied: "I used to drink bitter tea. Yesterday I brewed a pot of the tea you gave me. It was indeed very fragrant. Wait a moment, I'll brew it again. Come with a pot."
Lu Yao immediately stood up and said, "Dad, sit here while I go take a dip."
Lu Baiquan was a little hesitant, Ji Guanxin smiled and said, "Uncle, sit down and chat for a while, let Yaoyao go over and do it."
It was a very casual sentence, but it was clear that the relationship between him and Lu Yao was their own, so there was no need to be polite.
When Lu Yao left, the pretty boy kept running at her feet, as if he was afraid of getting lost. She went to the kitchen to make tea, leaving four men in the living room.
Lu Baiquan chatted with Jiang Rui and Ji Guanxin, and the atmosphere was always very warm. Lu Yao made tea and came out, pouring it for them one after another.
Jiang Rui said softly: "Thank you."
Lu Yao smiled lightly: "You're welcome."
When she arrived at Ji Guanxin's place, she poured the tea and handed it to him. When Ji Guanxin took it, he didn't look at her, but put his hand on hers.
Lu Yao knew that he must have done it on purpose, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to suffer a loss.
After pouring the tea, she sat next to Lu Chi, with the pretty boy nestled between her and Lu Chi's legs, finding that position the most comfortable. Lu Yao thought to herself, he really looked like his father. Ji Guanxin loved to get into the cracks of the pillow when sleeping.
Lu Chi lifted up the little pretty boy and put it on his lap. Face to face with it, he said softly: "He gave it to you?"
Lu Yao said 'hmm' and replied in a low voice: "He got it from the Luo family. The baby was born to Luo Xiangdong's dog. He and Sister Zijin are friends, so he took one as a gift to me."
Lu Chi inevitably showed a speechless and helpless expression. Sure enough, Ji Guanxin was not from the same world as ordinary people. He was surrounded by people like Luo Xiangdong.
Lu Baiquan on the side was praising Ji Guanxin and Jiang Rui for being young and promising. Jiang Rui replied with a faint smile: "Uncle, please stop praising me. Not to mention what I have accomplished, I am not young anymore."
Lu Baiquan said: "You are so promising at the age of twenty-seven or eighty years old. Aren't you young and promising? If Lu Chi is half as capable as you, then I will be extremely happy."
Jiang Rui spoke for Lu Chi, and Ji Guanxin also interrupted with a smile: "Uncle, I am really not young. You said that I am young and promising, and I am embarrassed."
Lu Boquan laughed and said that Ji Guanxin was young, and if he changed into a high school uniform later, he might be able to blend in with the high school students.
They chatted for more than an hour. When it was time to eat in the evening, Jiang Rui said he had to leave because of something, but Lu Baiquan refused to let him go. Lu Chi also kept him and insisted on letting him eat at home.
Lu Yao said: "Brother Rui, please finish your meal before leaving. You have been tired for so many days. I am cooking in the evening. You haven't eaten the food I cooked, have you?"
The hospitality was hard to reject, so Jiang Rui had no choice but to stay.
