Chapter 154: Back to the Mountains to Visit the Elderly
Because I was so tired yesterday, the next day, the old man who always got up early made an exception and started to make noise after the sun appeared.
When Xu Rongrong came downstairs, everyone in the family was sitting at the dining table, waiting for her to eat.
"You all, get up." As soon as he walked downstairs, he was stared at by everyone in the family. Xu Rongrong, who had always been thin-skinned, immediately turned red in the cheeks.
"Mom." At this time, A Nuan had already rushed over and threw herself into Xu Rongrong's arms.
The mall had just opened in the morning, so Zhan Yilin took her to check out more than a dozen outfits, including red, yellow, green, and pink.
Finally, all the clothes were spread out on the bed, and An Nuan was asked to choose the one she liked the most.
Ah Nuan hesitated for a while, and finally pointed to a small pink skirt.
Zhan Yilin smiled and put it on for her, and put a hairpin on her short hair, so that the already cute A Nuan was directly promoted to the level of beauty of a little princess.
Xu Rongrong smiled and picked up A Nuan. Looking at the pink and cute little girl, he couldn't help but pinch her face. "A Nuan has changed into new clothes. Do you like it?"
"I like it, my aunt bought it for me." An Nuan said softly.
Perhaps because of the lack of nutrition in the mountains, ten-year-old An Nuan is as tall as a six- or seven-year-old child. She is so thin and frail that even Xu Rongrong can easily pick her up.
"Then let's have breakfast." Xu Rongrong smiled and hugged Nuan and sat down at the dining table.
Liang Shuxian came in with chicken porridge, filled a bowl for everyone, and said with a smile, "I didn't serve the porridge before because I was afraid it wouldn't taste good if it got cold. Now that Rongrong is down, let's start dinner."
After saying that, he took off his apron and sat down.
Others also started to eat one after another.
Xu Rongrong picked up the knife and fork and cut a piece of ham. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look at Ah Nuan.
As expected, the little girl stared wide-eyed at how other people used knives and forks, and then tried her best to imitate them. But after all, she was young and always clumsy and couldn't cut quickly.
Seeing this, Xu Rongrong smiled slightly, then stretched out his hand to help An Nuan cut the ham with a knife and fork.
But at this time, another person touched A Nuan's hand faster than hers.
Xu Rongrong was stunned, raised his head, and saw Zhan Baiyi sitting on the other side of An Nuan.
You don't know this, but you're really shocked when you see it. Zhan Baiyi, who had been sitting with Tianning, somehow ended up sitting opposite Tianning and to the right of An Nuan today.
Now, just when Xu Rongrong was about to help Ah Nuan cut the ham, his hand reached over and held Ah Nuan's hand.
"Ah Nuan, can you teach me how to use it?" Zhan Baiyi smiled as gently as possible, his big peach blossom eyes narrowed into small crescents, and at the same time he revealed a mouth of white teeth, like finely chopped rice.
"Okay, thank you, brother." A Nuan seemed uncomfortable with Bai Yi's touch at first and shrank slightly, but soon, she smiled very sweetly at Bai Yi and called her brother obediently.
Bai Yi nodded happily, then held Ah Nuan's hand, and with little force, cut into a whole piece of ham and fried egg.
Xu Rongrong looked at the two children who were not paying attention, and felt drops of sweat falling on his forehead.
Why does she feel that what she brought back this time is not a daughter, but a daughter-in-law...
Soon, the breakfast was over. Xu Rongrong remembered what he promised A-Nuan yesterday, so he knelt down and looked at A-Nuan, and asked her softly, "A-Nuan, I left in a hurry yesterday, can I take you to visit grandpa today? By the way?
, bring some delicious food to grandpa."
Ah Nuan was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect that Xu Rongrong would actually remember what he said when he coaxed her, but she was still moved and her eyes turned red, "Thank you, mom, I think grandpa will be very happy."
"Idiot, why are you being polite to mom?" Xu Rongrong stood up with a smile, touched An Nuan's head, and then turned around and went to the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law Li, help me cook some dishes, just the kind that can go with wine." When they arrived in the kitchen and saw Sister-in-law Li washing the dishes, Xu Rongrong rubbed her hands in embarrassment and said.
Although Mrs. Li is a Filipino maid of the Zhan family, because she has been with the Zhan family for so long, everyone has respected her as their own elder.
"Ah, Madam, no problem, what kind of food do you want?" Mrs. Li said with a smile while stacking the bowls on the original shelf.
"Let's get some minced roasted chicken, pig ears, pork liver and cucumber with peanuts." Xu Rongrong thought for a while and decided to bring these four dishes to the old man.
"Okay, young lady, please wait. The cold dishes are fast and will come out soon." The Zhan family's refrigerator is stocked with raw materials, and the cold dishes are very fast to sit up, so Sister-in-law Li smiled and asked Xu Rongrong to hurry up and get them.
Xu Rongrong nodded, "Okay, Sister-in-law Li, you do it first, and I'll go ask Dad for a bottle of wine."
Zhan Yiyang did not drink. Commander Zhan would occasionally drink after he retired, so there was a lot of wine at home. Some were given by subordinates and some were picked up by relatives. In short, they were all good wines.
When Xu Rongrong asked Commander Zhan for something, it was the first time for Xu Rongrong to get on the sedan chair, so she stood outside the study for a long time without daring to knock on the door. Finally, Zhan Yiyang saw Xu Rongrong being so entangled, so he pulled her over and asked
After talking for a while, she realized that she wanted wine, so he angrily and funnyly took a bottle of Wuliangye from the warehouse and gave it to her.
"Dad has so much wine that he doesn't even know how many bottles he has. Just get one bottle yourself. He's not a wine lover, so he won't blame you." When handing the wine to Xu Rongrong, Zhan Yiyang said
He also laughed at her a few times, and finally received a few pink punches.
Finally, Xu Rongrong came to the kitchen, and Sister-in-law Li was already waiting for her with the prepared meal in hand with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, Mrs. Li." Xu Rongrong said gratefully as the four bags of vegetables were packed perfectly.
"You're welcome, young lady, leave early and come back early." Mrs. Li smiled and narrowed her eyes. Her chubby face made her look very kind and kind.
"Okay." Xu Rongrong simply responded, then walked out of the kitchen, taking Ah Nuan who had prepared it long ago, and left the old house together.
At the door, Zhan Yiyang was already waiting for her in a Hummer.
After the last incident, Zhan Yiyang left everything to others. He wanted to protect Xu Rongrong personally. He would go wherever Xu Rongrong went and never leave her even a centimeter away.
After getting on the Hummer, Zhan Yiyang was about to start the Hummer when the shouts of two boys suddenly came from behind.
"Mom, Dad, wait for us." It was Tianning's voice. Zhan Yiyang stopped the car that had started in confusion. When he turned around, he saw Tianning and Bai Yi each holding something in their arms, panting and coming from behind.
.
After arriving at the Hummer, Tianning very wisely went to the passenger seat. As for Bai Yi, he opened the back seat and got next to An Nuan.
Xu Rongrong stared at the two panting young men and said, "What are you two doing? Why don't you go back and study hard? Wait for the tutor to come and give you lessons."
Because Xu Rongrong was kidnapped, the two young men, Zhan Baiyi and Zhan Tianning, stopped going to class and instead asked teachers to come to their homes to make up lessons.
However, the Zhan family has money, and they still have money to pay some salary to tutors, so there is no point in doing so for others, as long as the children's grades do not deteriorate.
"Let's give this to mom." Bai Yi smiled and raised the lighter and the incense in his arms.
Xu Rongrong paused. He only wanted to bring some food to the old man, but he forgot about the fragrance. The two boys were thoughtful, but the fragrance...
"Did you get the incense your grandma used to worship Buddha?" Xu Rongrong twitched the corner of his mouth. There are no supermarkets or fireworks shops near the old house. Neither of the two children can drive. Even if there is a car parked in the garage, they can't drive to the city.
I bought it here, so this incense must have come from the old house.
But the only place where there is incense in the old house is the incense that Liang Shuxian occasionally offers to the Buddha.
"You two kids..." Xu Rongrong sighed, although he had no choice but to admit it.
It's already ten o'clock now, and it still takes two hours to get to the mountains, and four hours to go back and forth. If we go to the city center to buy incense again, it will probably be dark again when we get back.
So even if I was very helpless, I could only take Liang Shuxian's incense. Fortunately, the old lady had a mild temper. Even if she knew about it, she probably wouldn't get angry...
The Hummer started slowly, and the family rarely went out together.
When they had just walked a hundred meters, two black pedestrian cars followed them out.
Xu Rongrong was shocked. These two cars came out of the old house, but she had never seen these two cars before. This, this...
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Xu Rongrong quickly patted Yiyang on the shoulder, "Yiyang, there are two cars behind us, black, coming out of our old house. I have never seen this before..."
"Okay, it's okay, wife, this is the one who protects us." Zhan Yiyang comforted Xu Rongrong. Only then did he remember that he forgot to tell Xu Rongrong that he had applied to the army to be a soldier to protect Zhan's family.
Originally, she was embarrassed to speak rashly. After all, the Zhan family had always been safe before. If Xu Rongrong was suddenly told that the Zhan family was being protected, then she would definitely investigate why the Zhan family was protected, and thus she would also know about the dangerous mission.
Although the matter was imminent, Zhan Yiyang still didn't want to tell Xu Rongrong, he just didn't want her to worry.
Now, with Xu Rongrong being kidnapped, Zhan Yiyang found that he finally had a legitimate excuse to let his soldiers protect everyone in the Zhan family.
Protect everyone closely.
In the beginning, it was because we only guarded the Zhan family and did not protect the people who went out to protect the Zhan family, which led to such a thing.
Now, as Zhan Yiyang gets angry again, the army has allocated some people to ensure the safety of everyone in the Zhan family who goes out, so that Zhan Yiyang can complete the task with peace of mind.
In other words, is it more appropriate to die peacefully?
Zhan Yiyang sneered, he will not die, he will grow old together with Rongrong, so how can he die?
