Lu Yao didn't feel comfortable insulting Jiang Rui in person, and she didn't want to make Ji Guanxin feel uncomfortable, so she came up with an idea. He replied without changing his expression: "Brother Rui. If you are not in a hurry, I would like to stay at home with my dad for two days."
This is a delaying tactic. She didn't know how to do it before, but she has been with Ji Guanxin for a long time. His way of life. She also learned something superficial.
Sure enough, she said so. Jiang Rui naturally told her not to worry and come back. Accompanying Lu Baiquan is the most important thing.
The three of them had a meal and then drove home. Lu Chi asked Jiang Rui to stay. Have dinner at home in the evening. As soon as Lu Yao entered the house, she smelled a strong fragrance, which was the smell of braised vegetables.
"Dad, have you cooked the pork elbow and beef?"
Lu Yao has a sharp nose. Follow the smell and head straight to the kitchen. There is one person and one dog in the kitchen. Lu Baiquan was standing in front of the stove. He put a white towel around his neck and was sweating from the work. The pretty boy squatted at his feet. Hearing Lu Yao's voice, he turned around. Then he quickly ran to her side.
Lu Yao picked it up. Now it weighed more than thirty kilograms. It was like two lead balls in her arms. She whispered "Ouch" and then moved closer to the pot.
A large stewed pot was filled with pork head, elbow, and beef.
Lu Baiquan turned his head to look at Lu Yao, his eyes full of joy and doting, and said with a smile: "You're home so soon. Didn't you tell me on the phone before that it would still take more than twenty minutes?"
As he spoke, he lifted one side of the towel and wiped the sweat from his face.
Lu Yao had the impression that when she was a child, Lu Baiquan would stand in the kitchen and prepare a large pot of delicious food for the whole family. At that time, there were four people in the family. Du Hui liked to eat pork liver the most. Lu Baiquan said that pig liver improves eyesight; Lu Chi likes to eat chicken gizzards and chicken hearts the most. Lu Boquan laughs and calls him short-sighted. Lu Yao is not fond of meat. Her favorite thing to eat is braised eggs. She braises the eggs with the meat soup and holds the eggs in her mouth. Meaty, that's really delicious.
Ever since she went to Night City with Du Hui, she had never eaten such delicious braised eggs, and she had never seen Lu Baiquan sweating profusely while standing in the kitchen making braised meat.
Her heart suddenly felt a little sour. She didn't know whether it was because she remembered that she couldn't be with him in Winter City all these years, and that he would have to return to Night City with Ji Guanxin soon, or because Lu Baiquan's hair was a little gray on the temples. In the blink of an eye, she had grown up. , he is also old.
Lu Yao resisted the urge to have a sore nose and hot eyes, and replied with a smile: "Lu Yao was a little stuck before, just hang up the phone. Dad, you go outside and rest, I will do it."
While talking, Lu Yao wanted to put the little white-faced child down, but it smelled the fragrance in the pot and struggled to get into the pot. Lu Yao almost couldn't hold it, was startled, and hurriedly bent over to put it on the ground.
When Ji Guanxin is not around, it behaves like a live donkey. Lu Yao couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "Do you want to be braised dog meat?"
Lu Baiquan smiled and took out a piece of beef half the size of a person's fist from the pot, and asked Lu Yao, "Can it eat braised beef?"
Beef is edible, but Luo Xiangdong told him not to feed his dog anything that tastes too strong, as it will be bad for the color of his coat. But Liang Zijin also said, free range, the skin is strong.
Lu Yao raised her hand to take the beef, and then ordered the pretty boy to sit down. Watching it drooling with greed, looking straight at the beef in her hand, Lu Yao and Lu Bai both laughed out loud.
Lu Chi and Jiang Rui came in from outside, and Jiang Rui called: "Uncle."
Lu Baiquan smiled and said: "Jiang Rui is here, go sit outside quickly, it's hot in this room."
Lu Yao squatted in front of the pretty boy and was shaking hands with it. It held the hand very carelessly, clearly trying to deal with her.
Lu Chi said: "My dad has only been taking care of it for the past two days. He took it out for a walk in the morning. I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and it has finished eating. It's beef and fish. If it continues like this, it will have to eat." You cannot gain weight at a young age.”
Lu Yao turned around to talk to Lu Chi. In a blink of an eye, the pretty boy spotted the opening, stepped directly on her knees, raised his neck, and took the beef from her hand in one gulp.
Lu Yao felt that her hands were empty, and when she looked back, she had already gone to the side to eat.
She wanted to chase it, and the pretty boy was so scared that he ate it greedily, fearing that she would snatch it away. Lu Baiquan stopped it with a smile, "Let it eat."
Lu Yao said: "Dad, don't be so nice to it in the future. I haven't eaten it yet."
Lu Baiquan pulled Lu Yao with a smile and showed her another small pot on the stove. He opened the lid and found a pot of braised eggs, dried tofu, kelp and other vegetarian dishes stewed inside.
Lu Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, and Lu Baiquan said, "Don't you love braised eggs the most? Eat enough this time."
Lu Yao wanted to say before that there were no braised eggs that she liked, but Lu Baiquan prepared them alone.
A few people talked in the kitchen for a while, and Lu Baiquan urged them to go out, saying that the kitchen was too hot.
When Lu Yao was walking out, Ji Guanxin called, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Do you smell the fragrance? My dad made braised eggs for me."
Listening to her showy voice, Ji Guanxin said dotingly and coquettishly: "Really, I can't even eat it."
Lu Yao said: "Then come here and let my dad cook it for you. This was my favorite when I was a kid."
Ji Guanxin smiled and said, "Didn't you love dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage the most when you were a kid?"
Lu Yao said helplessly, "Can't I eat dumplings and eggs together?"
Ji Guanxin smiled, "You're not afraid of choking either."
Lu Chi was talking to Jiang Rui in the living room. Ji Guanxin didn't know what his ears were made of, so he asked sensitively: "Are you and Jiang Rui together?"
Lu Yao subconsciously glanced in the direction of the living room and saw Jiang Rui's back. She remembered what happened at the lunch table, so she returned to the room with her mobile phone, specially opened the window, stood at the window, and whispered: "Guan Rui" Xin, let me tell you something.”
Whenever she calls him like this, it means she has something to ask of him.
Ji Guanxin had a vague feeling about it, but he still said: "What's wrong?"
Lu Yao explained the matter, "I know you don't like it, but I have no reason to refuse. Why don't you think of one for me?"
In fact, Ji Guanxin annoyed Jiang Rui. Firstly, he hated having strange men hanging around Lu Yao. Secondly, because of Lu Yao's previous attitude towards him, Jiang Rui appeared during the cold war between him and Lu Yao, which made him I feel insecure.
Now that she heard what she said, she was leaning towards him even more, so Ji Guanxin became more generous and asked without answering, "What do you think?"
Lu Yao replied truthfully: "You have to listen to the truth. I want to help Brother Rui. He took good care of my dad and brother when I was away. I want to return his favor."
Ji Guanxin said: "Then do what you want."
After all, she couldn't see the expression on his face through the phone. Even though his voice was normal, Lu Yao still asked more carefully, "Are you unhappy?"
Ji Guanxin smiled and replied in a low voice: "I don't even have this little confidence in your husband? You don't want a prince charming, but you choose a piece of black charcoal?"
Lu Yao couldn't hold it back, she chuckled, and then cursed in a low voice: "Are you hurting me?"
Ji Guanxin suddenly let out a long sigh, and then said: "You have only been gone for a few hours, and it feels like how many years have passed. It's so difficult."
Why not Lu Yao? She whispered: "It's okay, you'll be here in a few days."
Ji Guanxin said: "I'm not with you, do you miss me?"
He didn't know why he was asking.
"What do you think?" She has learned how to make a big difference now.
Ji Guanxin said: "I guess you don't miss me as much as I miss you."
Lu Yao refused, "How do you know what I'm thinking? I kept thinking about you on the plane."
After she finished speaking, Ji Guanxin laughed out loud. Only then did she realize that he was still trying to trick her.
Looking out the window, Lu Yao said angrily, "You just want to scheme against people all day long and bully me into being honest."
Ji Guanxin said with a smile: "It's fun to bully honest people..."
The two of them talked about what they had for lunch and what they were going to eat in the evening; from his work schedule to the fact that if she went to help Jiang Rui, she could not look at him more than five times a day.
In the past, Lu Yao found it annoying when she saw the classmates around her falling in love, as if they had endless things to talk about every day they met. But now that she is here, it is still difficult to escape the cliché of love.
Before they knew it, the two of them were chatting until their phones were hot. Someone knocked on the door twice, and then Lu Chi opened the door and came in. Looking at Lu Yao standing by the window, he smiled and said, "Are you still on the phone? Dad asked you to come out to eat delicious food."
Lu Yao then realized that she and Ji Guanxin had been on the phone for more than two hours.
Ji Guanxin said that he said aloud: "You go to eat first, I will call you later."
"Well, you can go get something to eat later, so you don't get hungry."
Reluctantly hanging up the phone, Lu Yao came out of the room. There were several plates of chopped braised food on the dining table. Jiang Rui came out of the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks. Seeing this, Lu Yao quickly reached out to pick them up.
"Brother Rui, sit there, I'll do it."
Jiang Rui said: "It's okay. I'm embarrassed every time I come home to eat."
These words were heard by Lu Baiquan who was coming out of the kitchen. He immediately said: "Do you still think this is your home? You are talking heretics."
After that, he looked at Lu Yao again and said: "Yao Yao, your brother asked you to help Jiang Rui's shop. You don't need to worry about me. I have always been living at home anyway. Why don't you accompany me?" . Take a break these two days and go to the store when you have time." ℃≡miào℃≡bi℃≡ge℃≡.
Fortunately, Lu Yao had just asked Ji Guanxin for his opinion, otherwise she wouldn't have had a reply right now.
Now that she had confidence in her heart, she replied: "Brother Rui, I'm available here at any time. You can see when it's convenient for you over there."
Jiang Rui looked at Lu Yao and said, "Aren't you going to play for a few more days?"
Lu Yao smiled and replied: "I went to your place just to play."
Hearing this, Jiang Rui responded with a faint smile, "Okay, I'll take you there to know the way later. You can go there at any time."
During the meal, Lu Yao raised her left hand to pick up paper on the table. Lu Chi saw the ring on her index finger and joked, "Isn't it Ji Guanxin who proposed to you?"
As soon as she said this, the other two people at the table looked at her. Lu Yao's face turned red, she subconsciously retracted her hand and said shyly, "No."
