Of course, Professor Fan is an exception to his non-marriage policy.
You said it’s too lonely to eat alone? That’s not the case!
Instead, she prepared a table of dishes, poured a pot of red wine and woke up first. After cleaning up, she took a shower, put on an exotic dress with a large skirt and a small vest, and sat quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Enjoy the starry night view while sipping red wine and tasting seafood. Don’t be too comfortable.
Lu Chixiao was stunned for a few seconds after receiving the goods. When he figured it out, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Mrs. Lu is packing her luggage in the back room for the train back to Kyoto tomorrow.
No matter how reluctant I am to leave my youngest son and my newly discovered eldest grandson, I will still miss my family after being away for a long time.
Not to mention that the old man is getting more and more stubborn as he gets older. No one is watching and he may not eat three meals properly. Moreover, the eldest son has been lying in the hospital for many years. Although there are nurses and caregivers, he will not be relieved if he is not seen for three to five days.
"Son, did someone knock on the door just now?" Mrs. Lu packed her luggage and walked out to ask.
"Well, someone brought a basket of seafood." Lu Chixiao came to his senses and carried the big basket into the house.
"Who is it? You're so polite." Mrs. Lu thought it was sent to her by a colleague from his new unit.
"Guess." Mr. Lu was in a happy mood at the moment and didn't mind playing a guessing game with his mother.
He opened the lid of the basket, took a look and said, "It's quite alive."
"Hey! Such a big lobster! Be good! How many pounds does it have to be?"
"Um."
"Is this a pomfret? It's quite big!"
"Yeah, silver pomfret."
"I've seen one half smaller than this at the farmer's market next to your unit. It's rare to see one this big. Oh, here's a big abalone! It weighs at least half a catty with the shell. Who gave it to me?
Huh? Such a big deal!"
Lu Chixiao looked at the big lobster that could not hide its majesty and domineering attitude despite being tied up, and smiled without saying a word. He thought to himself that the child's mother was very generous, and all the big lobsters were delivered.
Mrs. Lu was still guessing, "Is it A Yang? Or that boy from the Li family? None? Who is that..."
Suddenly thinking of a person, Mrs. Lu's eyes lit up.
"Could it be your wife? Didn't she copy your address that day? She said she would send you seafood by mail..."
This time, her son did not shake his head, but smiled broadly. Mrs. Lu knew that she had guessed correctly, so she stroked her palm and said with a smile.
"It seems that he is true to his word. My son, he has good taste! The child Doudou is also well raised. He is sensible, cute and not afraid of life. Come on! Try to welcome the two of you in the door as soon as possible so that I can hold my grandson.
Visiting each other, regaining the lost places one by one, and letting them say behind their backs that I have no grandson to hold... Huh!"
Mr. Lu twitched his lips.
Undoubtedly, the more her mother talked, the more excited she became, and the more she talked, the less she wanted to go back to Kyoto. She even rushed to Yupu County impulsively, shouting heartily to hug her fat grandson, and interrupted, "Are you going to do all of this today?"
"Leave it to me. Mom will show you tonight!" Mrs. Lu quickly carried the basket into the kitchen.
After a while, he stuck his head out and said, "Son! Thanks to you, I can have a seafood dinner before leaving. The poor old man is at home alone. He doesn't eat three meals a day, and he's probably lost weight again..."
Lu Chixiao raised his eyebrows, every time his mother dragged the old man into trouble, something would follow.
"If you don't mind the smell, take the rest back. How can I stop you?"
Mrs. Lu laughed and said, "I'm just waiting for your words!"
That night, Mrs. Lu showed off her cooking skills and cooked a whole basket of seafood.
Except for the giant lobster with scallion oil and the giant abalone with vermicelli, which she cooked for the couple's dinner, she cooked all the rest - fried pomfret, grilled prawns with salt, and swimming crab noodles.
"Son, I left a portion for you. You can eat it tomorrow. I'm afraid it won't be fresh if you put it back again, so I didn't leave more for you."
Lu Chixiao was speechless.
He was afraid that he was not the biological child of Lao Lu and his wife.
Worried that it will be stale tomorrow night? Then why do you bring so much back to Kyoto?
Isn't the train arriving at six o'clock tomorrow night? It should be at least seven o'clock when we get home. Is it possible that seven o'clock in the evening in Kyoto and seven o'clock in the evening in Z province are not the same concept?
"Oh, I'm not afraid that eating cold food will damage your stomach. Your father even chewed tree bark when he was young. Cold food is nothing." Mrs. Lu said with a smile.
"Didn't you ask me to hide it from your father first? It would save him from having an occupational disease and go check on your wife, bring some food to plug his mouth, and save him from asking questions and causing me to accidentally let it slip."
Mr. Lu "..." You win!
In the evening of the next day, General Lu Zhanfeng went to the train station to pick up his wife in person.
"Hey! Lao Lu, why are you free today?"
Mrs. Lu saw him and teased him a few words.
Lu Zhanfeng showed no expression after being teased. He put his hands behind his back and snorted, "Is there anyone like you who wants to be a wife? You leave a lot of things at home and don't care. What benefits did the brat promise you? Let you go to him like that! Even if you go there, you won't come back.
…”
The land general, who usually didn't talk much, turned into a self-taught and thought-provoking mode at this moment.
For the sake of the driver, Mrs. Lu did not let him lose face. She twitched the corner of her mouth and let him read all the way, only interrupting him when she got home.
"Stop talking about this, I'll give you a taste of Z province's specialties." After saying that, he opened a few lunch boxes as if offering treasures, with a somewhat regretful expression, "It's a pity that they are not crispy anymore. When they were fried last night, these crab noodles were delicious.
Delicious.”
“Isn’t it easy to eat crab noodles? It’s not like you can’t buy them at the market near home.”
Lu Zhanfeng glanced at the lunch box with disdain. The seafood was quite big, but eating cold food in this weather? Do you really think that this place is like Z province, and it will be summer after April?
"Can we buy such fresh ones near our house?" Mrs. Lu glanced at him, "I'm telling you, when I was chopping, these ones were crawling all over the chopping board with their teeth and claws spread out!"
"Alive?" Lu Zhanfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"That's not the case!" Mrs. Lu said sternly, "Why did I bring it back all the way? It was snatched from my son's mouth."
"You brat is so considerate? Why would he go out of his way to get you such fresh seafood?" Lu Zhanfeng curled his lips in disbelief.
"Hey, isn't that side close to the sea? Besides, it's not him who did this, it was..."
Ouch, she almost let it slip. Mrs. Lu quickly changed the subject, "By the way, I promised my son that I would find and send photos of him when he was one hundred days old and one year old. I will look for them."
"What are you looking for?" Lu Zhanfeng frowned in confusion.
There was a piece of shrimp meat in his mouth.
The cold salt-grilled shrimps taste quite good and are suitable for drinking.
"I'll tell you later."
Mrs. Lu's fiery temperament is still the same as when she was young.
"I remember correctly, my fat grandson and my second son do look alike when they were young. They are almost carved from the same mold." Mrs. Lu rummaged through the cabinets and found photos of her son when he was a child.
The dick in the yellowed photo is not just a replica of Doudou’s cutie.
Oh, wrong, I should say Doudou is a replica of Lao Er.
Mrs. Lu looked at the photo and thought about her grandson. The more she looked at it, the happier she became. She was so happy that she laughed out loud.
