There were no other interruptions along the way, and we returned to the Lu family yard smoothly.
Lu Beicen parked the car, and Lu Beihao was already standing in front of the small Fabia with orange body and white roof next to him. He looked at the huge pink Land Rover, and then at the aggrieved little Fabia. Lu Beihao looked at it again.
He laughed: "Sister, are you afraid that Ms. Jiang will be mad to death?"
Lu Beicen said helplessly: "I'm not angry enough to cry. But you said our urban area is so congested. With a car like this, it's troublesome to find a parking space, not to mention the road is not brisk."
"
"Didn't you say that where you live now is very close to where you work?" Lu Beihao said as he took his luggage from the trunk.
"Anyway, I don't want this car. I'm going to work, not for anything else. Driving like this makes me look like a monkey." Lu Beicen helped Lu Beihao move the box forward, and Jiang Zhongze looked at it.
It was hard to understand that the two siblings were so close as if they had never been apart. Then I looked at the hatchback that was made smaller by the Land Rover, and felt that the car matched Lu Beicen's outfit.
"Don't mention the car or house when you go home. This year, Ms. Jiang was made angry by me and cried at least three times. I will talk to you carefully when I get back." Lu Beicen whispered to his brother before his parents came out.
Lu Beihao shrugged his eyebrows helplessly: "I know a little bit, but sister, if you want me to say that this is your fault, let's not talk about the car. You have your reasons, but that house and that
Qian, my mother made a video call with me that day, crying until her eyes were red, you..."
"Zhongze, welcome. You two siblings left Zhongze here alone. What are you whispering about?" Lu Xusheng's voice floated over from a distance.
Lu Beicen closed the door of the trunk of the car and saw his father in front, already shaking hands with Jiang Zhongze, and his mother following behind, greeting Jiang Zhongze.
Lu Beihao jumped out and hugged Jiang Yunjin very affectionately: "Mom, have you cut your hair?"
Lu Xusheng smiled and said to Lu Beihao: "How old are you? What do you look like?"
Jiang Yunjin was not happy now. He patted Lu Beihao's arm and said, "Your dad is jealous. Go and give him a suffocating hug."
Lu Xusheng took a step back, but smiled brightly: "Hurry up and carry your box in."
Then he greeted Jiang Zhongze: "Come, Zhongze, it's like going back to your own home. This home is usually just me and your Aunt Jiang, not to mention how deserted it is."
Lu Beicen felt that he was in danger of being scolded again, so he quickly pulled a box and walked forward: "I'll go in first, I'm going to make a big meal for Ah Hao at noon today."
Lu Beihao looked at Lu Beicen as if there was wind under his feet and couldn't help laughing. Jiang Yunjin looked helpless. Lu Xusheng greeted everyone into the house.
When Jiang Zhongze saw the harmony between the family of four, he felt some unspeakable feelings in his heart.
By the time Lu Beicen came out of the kitchen and called for dinner, Lu Beihao and Jiang Zhongze had already taken a shower and were sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting with Lu Xusheng.
When Lu Beihao heard that dinner was ready, he almost jumped up: "Sister, what delicious food have you cooked?"
"You just came back, what else do you want to eat..."
"I know, I know. Tofu and cabbage are specially designed to cure acclimatization. Let's start with half a bowl."
Jiang Zhongze looked at Lu Beihao, as if he had been hungry outside. Lu Xusheng smiled and said: "Come on, Zhongze, let's eat first. Ahao prefers to eat Xiaobei's cooking.
It’s home-cooked food. If it doesn’t taste good, we’ll go out to eat it tonight.”
Lu Beihao very thoughtfully served Jiang Zhongze half a bowl of cabbage and tofu soup: "Brother Ze, let's have some tofu and cabbage first to cure our acclimatization. I've tried it, and it seems to be good for jet lag."
Jiang Zhongze smiled and thanked him, but he really didn't know what to say. What does tofu and cabbage have to do with acclimatization and jet lag? But the taste does seem to be okay. The tofu is tender and smooth, and the cabbage is sweet. Put them together, I don't know.
I ate it without realizing it, and even finished the soup.
Lu Xusheng smiled and said: "You just landed, so you won't drink today. When you adjust tomorrow, let's have a drink again."
Jiang Zhongze watched Lu Beihao eat with joy and satisfaction, and couldn't help but smile: "Ahao really has a Chinese stomach. For so many years, he is not picky about eating at home, but he is very picky at restaurants outside.
"
Lu Beihao swallowed the steamed mandarin fish in his mouth and smiled proudly: "I can't help it. I have a sister who can cook at home, so she has a tricky mouth."
Jiang Yunjin smiled and asked: "How is it, Zhongze, does the food taste good? I don't know if you have any taboos or what you like to eat. These are all made according to Ah Hao's preferences."
Lu Beicen brought the rice and saw Lu Beihao starting to gobble it up again. He chuckled and said, "You should eat more slowly, okay?"
"Mr. Jiang, is the rice okay?" Lu Beicen held a bowl of rice to Jiang Zhongze with both hands very politely and handed it to him.
Jiang Zhongze looked at the bowl of crystal clear and steaming rice, quickly nodded his thanks, and answered Jiang Yunjin's question: "Auntie, it tastes very good. Our family also eats Chinese food. I'm not picky about food."
It is said that it is a big meal, but for the first meal back home, Lu Beicen usually gives Lu Beihao a light meal. There are six dishes and one soup on the table, fried mushrooms with eggs are delicious, beef tenderloin with asparagus, the beef tenderloin is very tender, and asparagus
Crisp and sweet, the steamed mandarin fish is just right, and the minced meat vermicelli in the pot is very refreshing...
Lu Beihao finished two large bowls of rice before he stopped with his chopsticks satisfied. He smiled and watched Jiang Zhongze finish the second bowl of rice before asking: "How is it, Brother Ze, I'm not bragging, it's just my sister."
If you open a Chinese restaurant with this craft, how popular will it be?"
Lu Beicen looked at Lu Beihao speechlessly: "In your eyes, am I just a chef who was delayed by studying?"
Lu Beihao quickly surrendered: "I mean your cooking is delicious. If I really want a rich lady like you to go out and open a Chinese restaurant, I would be heartbroken. But by the way, sister, you see I'm back now, do you want to
Thinking of moving back here? How bad would it be for you to live outside alone?"
Lu Beicen smiled and glared at Lu Beihao: "You don't think it's good for me to live outside alone. You just lack an aunt who can cook to your taste."
"Sister, whatever you say is right, as long as you are willing to move back here." Lu Beihao said with a playful smile.
Lu Beicen shook his head and said: "My home is too far away from us in Taili. I want to move back. I have to drive for two hours every day. It's too tiring. At worst, as long as I don't work overtime on weekends, I will come back and cook for you."
"Sister, can your house still accommodate me?" Lu Beihao blinked and asked with a different thought.
Lu Beicen quickly raised his hand and made a STOP gesture: "Even if we can live in it, it's impossible for you to move there. I'm not free to cook every day."
"That's okay, I'll take care of your food when you're not free..."
Lu Xusheng interrupted Lu Beihao with a smile and said: "How old are you? You pester your sister every day. Besides, when Zhongze just came, you had to run away? Are you coming back to eat or to work? When?
Going to work? Have you decided which company you want to work for?"
Jiang Yunjin saw Lu Xusheng asking Ah Hao a barrage of questions, and quickly stood up with a smile and said: "We've finished eating, you guys go to the living room to chat. Ah Hao has just come back. Don't push too hard. Let him go first."
