Chapter 78: Meal
"Your home is also in an old neighborhood?"
Hu Li asked with burning eyes as he watched Lu Yao turn into the family courtyard.
Lu Yao knew what she meant, and thought that my family should be older than yours.
Nod:
"Yeah."
"The old neighborhood is the best, you know? It's very humane. Have you always lived here?"
"Yes, I moved here when I was about four or five years old."
"That's the best. The neighbors are all people I know. Children who grow up in this environment will have a lot of friends, which is very warm."
She seems to be full of feelings for this kind of community, and her words are filled with a very different kind of envy.
That's it, people.
The more something is missing, the more something is loved.
In fact, after spending so many days together, Lu Yao could tell that she was a very nostalgic person.
My favorite car is not a Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Rolls-Royce, but an Audi A6.
What I like to eat most is not delicacies from mountains and seas, but home-cooked food.
Moreover, she and Xu Ruochu are different.
In terms of diligence and thrift, Haihou has done a really good job.
Although it seems strange to say this, it is surprisingly reasonable when it comes to her.
But considering that she is both presidential and has good moral character...it seems very contradictory.
But Lu Yao must admit that compared to Xu Ruochu, Hai Hou is more like an ordinary girl.
At least in some ways, it is.
After parking the car in the parking space, Hu Li held the dog and Lu Yao held the suitcase.
On this trip, I used to carry clothes in one suitcase, but now I have two suitcases.
He was carrying two trolley cases, and Hu Li had already put Xiao Bu down.
Xiaobu, who has just arrived in a new environment, is very curious about everything, but he can always follow the footsteps of his master.
All the way to the downstairs of the unit, she suddenly asked:
"Does your family like dogs..."
"It's okay. Although my family doesn't raise cats, my mother usually feeds the cats and dogs in the community with leftover food."
Hearing this, Hu Limei smiled broadly:
"Hehe, auntie is so nice."
Ms. Chen is really nice.
Lu Yao thinks so too.
It’s just...
Mom, isn’t your look impolite?
He stood at the door, watching his mother's mouth turn into an "O" shape, and her eyes widening. When he looked at Hu Li, he thought to himself, did he see someone's alien coming out?
Ms. Chen was also confused.
She must be happy that her son is back.
But...
This little bastard didn't say anything about taking the girl... home!
But don't say that.
Don't say it.
This girl... is rare.
The smile is pleasing to the eye.
And... the temperament is also quite good.
She is not short either, probably over 1.7 meters tall, and feels taller than my daughter.
But...
It seems that he is older than his son?
This person...
"Mom, this is Hu Li, Miss Xiaoli. The person I told you about last time is my boss's friend."
"Hello, aunt, I'm Hu Li. Hee hee, I'm here to have a meal."
"Ah? Okay, okay, come in quickly, come in quickly..."
Don't talk about Ms. Chen.
Even Lu Qing, who stood up from the sofa belatedly, didn't react.
broken.
Why did my slave bring a girlfriend back?
And... so beautiful?
She was wondering when suddenly, Ms. Chen over there reacted to her son's words:
"Ah!?"
Ms. Chen immediately understood who this girl was...
My son mentioned two people when he came home.
One is Boss Xu, and the other... is the friend of Boss Xu who spent two to three hundred thousand yuan to buy clothes for his son.
Could it be that this girl...
She subconsciously looked at Lu Yao again.
"????"
How did you bring her back?
What are you here for?
Poverty alleviation?
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Yao, who was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, asked:
"Mom, is the food ready? We are both starving."
The meal must be ready.
But...
Ms. Chen was even more confused.
Fortunately, I did not forget the etiquette of hospitality.
Although I was confused, I still subconsciously said:
"Okay, okay, come on, Lu Qing, entertain the guests."
"Hey."
Lu Qing responded, observing the girl in front of him, muttering to himself about her relationship with her brother, and taking a cup to make tea.
"Auntie, you're welcome. Let's eat first. We're both hungry."
Hu Li's generous words instantly brought Ms. Chen back to her senses.
Oh yes.
The son is back.
Gotta eat first.
As for the rest...
Little bastard, I'll take care of you later!
she thought to herself.
……
When her son returns, Ms. Chen will naturally prepare a good meal.
There is no doubt about this.
And they all taste very homely, and they are also what Lu Yao likes to eat.
Lu Yao's eyes lit up when he saw the food on the table.
When I went out to play this way, although the northern food was delicious, it was not as good as the food at home.
As for Hu Li, she was even happier.
First, she was indeed hungry.
Secondly... To be honest, although Lu Yao's home is not big, from the homely furnishings to various life-like details... everything can prove that he lives in a very happy environment.
And the food cooked by a family with such a happy environment will never taste bad.
What's more, the family is also very attentive to Xiaobu's reception.
She saw with her own eyes that Lu Yao's sister took out a small bowl from the kitchen cupboard, and Lu Yao helped to make milk powder and dog food.
After all the dishes were served, when she took the first bite, she automatically ignored the enthusiasm of "Don't think the dishes are simple, eat more."
Well...
tasty!
Especially in this warm atmosphere...
I have decided not to take care of my figure today.
After Ms. Chen figured out the girl's identity, she stopped asking questions.
He focused his attention on Lu Yao's trip this time.
And Lu Yao also told Hu Li before coming here, not to mention going to Southern Tibet.
Hu Li also understood. After all, the traffic situation in southern Tibet was really inferior to that in the mainland. Lu Yao's mother would definitely be worried if she knew about it.
So he and Lu Yao answered in a flawless manner.
The farthest is Qinghai.
She understands.
Auntie, give me another bowl of rice.
Looking at her empty rice bowl, Ms. Chen beamed.
Obviously, the guests are satisfied and the host's face is bright.
Everyone enjoyed this meal happily.
Hu Li really liked this homely taste. After two bowls of rice, she ate cleanly.
And after eating, she didn't stay much.
Rejecting Lu Yao's proposal to see her off, she hugged Xiao Bu and waved, politely said goodbye to her family, and walked downstairs in a happy mood.
Seeing each other off, Lu Yao said again:
"Sister Li, let me see you off. It's not far."
"Hehe~"
Hu Li just laughed.
Smiling and shaking his head:
"Just take me to the gate of the community."
"It's quite hot today."
"I told you it doesn't matter."
She was in a good mood with a cute smile on her face. She looked at Xiao Bu running forward and said:
"I was in such a hurry today that I didn't even have time to prepare gifts. Next time, when I want to eat the food cooked by my aunt, I will come over again. You are not allowed to shirk the gifts I brought then."
"Well, then you probably have no chance."
"Hey!"
Hu Li looked at him with a mischievous smile speechlessly...
Suddenly pinched Lu Yao's face:
"Don't you dare let me give it a try! I'll strangle you to death!"
"Hahaha, don't dare, don't dare, it hurts..."
After hearing this, Hu Li let go of his hand.
The rainy season had passed for an unknown amount of time, and the bright weather in the Magic City and the comfort of having plenty of food and wine were enough to give her the pleasure of having such a beautiful world.
Smiling, she suddenly turned her hands away, tilted her head and looked at Lu Yao with a very cute gesture:
"I have an appointment with Qianqian tomorrow. Let's go shopping? I want to go to the amusement park. Can you go with me?"
"...Aren't you afraid that the first sister will come with a knife?"
"Uh..."
Hu Li was stunned, and the expression on his face suddenly turned cloudy:
"No...I don't want to go to work! I'm so tired! I don't want to go..."
That charming feeling suddenly began to spread without any warning.
It's a pity that Lu Yao can't help:
"Sister, this is recruitment. As the vice president, especially if you are applying for the main department head tomorrow, it is impossible not to go."
"..."
Hu Li's facial features were squeezed together in sadness.
But in the end, he nodded as if accepting his fate: "Okay. How many days do you plan to rest?"
"Let's take one day tomorrow. Mr. Xu's house still needs to be tidied up."
"Then..."
Hu Lisi, who looked uncomfortable, thought about it and found that there was no way to escape, and said helplessly:
"Well, I feel like my world is falling apart."
Lu Yaoxin said that your ball is too fragile.
At this time, Lu Yao, who had already reached the gate of the community, saw an empty car and waved.
The taxi is coming this way.
"Xiaobu, come here."
he shouted.
The little wolfdog, who was still exploring the world, ran over and was picked up by him and handed to Hu Li:
"Go back and have a good sleep before the world collapses."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"...annoying!"
Hu Li rolled her eyes, took the puppy, opened the car door and got in the car.
"I'm leaving. I'll send you a message later."
"Uh..."
Lu Yaoxin said that if he had anything to do, he could just call.
What message to send?
But he still smiled and nodded:
"Okay."
Then he watched her leave and returned home directly.
When I got home, my washing machine started buzzing.
Ms. Chen walked out of the small balcony and said:
"Did you... buy these clothes yourself?"
"No, the boss bought it for me."
After he finished speaking, Lu Qing, who was helping with the laundry, took an outdoor coat and said:
"Archaeopteryx, you are so rich. How much does this dress cost?"
"More than 10,000. You can wear it, it's colder in France than here."
Lu Qing was stunned:
"Give it to me?"
"Well, when I bought it specifically, I picked one size smaller. You have to wear it with your arms open, so it should be a little too big for you. You can try it."
After hearing this, Lu Qing put on the outdoor clothes directly.
Not to mention...
Just right.
It's a size that girls can wear without looking out of place.
And it's still black. Except for the slightly different version from normal women's clothing, there's nothing wrong with it at all.
"It's just right."
"Yes, but you can't wear the pants, so the clothes belong to you and the pants belong to me, okay?"
"I'll just take this one, and you can keep the others."
"I bought them all in small sizes, and they are uncomfortable to wear. You can put the quilted quilting on it and try it on again. It should fit just right. It's quite cold in France, and these clothes are wear-resistant and durable. I have these pieces. I bought them all according to your size, and they are all black, except for the dark blue one, which is for my dad. You have to take care of yourself when you are out..."
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Mom, where can I get some clothes with a packaging bag?"
"The military green one? I just put it in the washing machine, what happened?"
"It's okay."
Lu Yao shook his head.
Then, while her mother was washing the dishes, she pulled Lu Qing and whispered:
"That one is for your boyfriend. Aren't you two going together..."
"..."
Lu Qing's mouth twitched.
"Do you know his size?"
"I don't know, I bought it in my size."
Wu Nan's height is 1.82 meters, and the two of them are about the same height.
After hearing this, Lu Qing looked at his brother who was much darker than before he left, and his tone suddenly softened:
"I suddenly felt so guilty..."
"You feel so guilty."
Lu Yao rolled his eyes, unable to stand her hypocritical virtue.
"Mom, my admission notice?"
"In your sister's room."
"...Mom! That's my room!"
"..."
Ms. Chen said nothing.
She couldn't talk too much at this time. If she said one more word, her son might be beaten.
……
"Son, look at the photo."
After washing the dishes, Ms. Chen took out her mobile phone and sat next to her son.
Lu Yao saw a strange bedroom picture on his mother's phone.
The bedroom was very simple, with just a bed and a cheap-looking simple small table as a bedside table.
"This is..."
"Shengshi Garden, your dad and I bought a bed a few days ago."
"Then can we go and stay?"
"We discussed it, wait a little longer, and let the smell go. Now every day after I get off work, I will run to open the doors and windows. When your dad goes to work, he will leave a little early and close the doors and windows when he gets there. He also bought a lot of pothos, I'll be able to live in it in a month or two. I also bought an air conditioner. This air conditioner is good. It costs more than 10,000 yuan. The living room over there is big, and the small air conditioner can't be turned on. It's good everywhere, but it consumes electricity..."
Lu Yao didn't come back for more than 20 days. As soon as he came back, Ms. Chen couldn't wait to share the changes in "home" with him.
But his focus is on his father:
"How is my dad's job?"
"Okay, great. Look..."
Ms. Chen stood up and opened the TV cabinet.
Lu Yao saw the Moutai bottle inside.
"This was given to your father as a gift to the boss two days ago, and he gave it to your father directly. And this cigarette..."
She took out two more packages of Zhonghua from the cabinet:
"Last time I went to dinner, there was half a carton of cigarettes left on the table, and your dad ran back to get it back. Your dad can't get used to smoking, so I'll smoke it for you."
"Save it for the guests."
Lu Yao didn't care much about these things, he just asked:
"So...Dad is very happy?"
"I'm so happy. Every day's work is very easy. Your dad's back pain and stomach problems haven't happened for a long time. When I went back to my hometown to hold a college entrance banquet for you last time, I specially found a local old Chinese doctor to give you acupuncture for three days. . Oops, now he says his waist is so comfortable every day~”
When she mentioned this, Ms. Chen became very happy.
Her husband’s job is so stable and the salary is generous. In her opinion, it really couldn’t be better.
And Lu Qing also nodded beside him:
"No, our dad comes back on time and at the right time. The two of us go out dancing every day. No one cares about me every day."
"You are so old, who cares?"
Ms. Chen raised her eyebrows:
"I'm telling you, if you go to study abroad, you should study hard and dare to deal with those unscrupulous people, such as parties, drinking, strikes and demonstrations. If you dare to do it, I will go to France to arrest you. Take it back and I’ll break your legs!”
"..."
Lu Qing's mouth twitched.
Lu Yao was happy.
hey-hey.
It’s okay to interrupt.
Beautifully broken.
Seeing his mother who suddenly started chatting and criticizing the bullies, he leaned back on the sofa in a good mood.
"Huh..."
Breathe a long sigh of relief.
Sure enough, it's better to be at home.
……
In the afternoon, Lu Yao was not idle. He first sent the X6 for cleaning. After it was cleaned, he drove directly to Fortune Garden.
But instead of going to Xu Ruochu's home, he came to the property.
I made an appointment for a housekeeping team to clean up tomorrow morning.
Xu Ruochu had a grudge against these household chores, so Lu Yao would follow him this time to ensure that everything was packed properly.
When he returned home after finishing his work, he found that Lu Yuanshan had already arrived home.
Lu Yao took a look...
It's not yet five o'clock.
"Dad? Why are you back?"
"It's time to get off work."
"...No need to clock in?"
"No, I went to Sheshan with Mr. Guo. The report was just for business. I sent him back and I came back."
Lu Yuanshan said, looking at his son who had darkened a lot, with a relieved and at ease expression:
"Did you have fun?"
"Well. Dad, the blue one is for you."
Lu Yuanshan glanced at the dark blue jacket.
Not that I cared.
Just asked:
"Is school starting soon?"
"Well, military training on the 16th."
"Military training... just living on campus?"
"Yes."
"Then let your mother pack your bed for you in the next two days."
"I can do it myself."
Hearing his son's words, the middle-aged man nodded again.
He didn't feel any pain at parting.
First of all, I used to drive a big car, so I was already used to this difference.
Secondly... my son is studying in Shanghai, and he wants to come back in a matter of minutes, right?
So it feels basically the same as usual.
And...
Don't even say it.
Inexplicably, he felt that his son's revenge on Hua was really the right thing to do.
If he really wants to go to Qinghua, Yanjing is so far away... Now that his job has been stable and he enjoys family happiness every day, he has been thinking terribly just because he hasn't seen his son in the past 20 days.
If I go to Yanjing for half a year, how can I bear it?
But it's different in Fuhua.
Fuhua is so great.
My son is by my side, and I can see him whenever he wants.
His eyes fell on this little man, with a different kind of joy and satisfaction in his eyes.
And with this joyful mood, he smiled and said:
"Go, buy a bag of peanuts and some braised pork, and have a drink with dad in the evening."
"Okay."
