Xu Suizhu comforted her aunt: "The price increase of building materials is due to the large-scale construction projects in various places, which reflects that people's living standards have improved, and having enough food and clothing is no longer everyone's goal in life. Only in this way will people come to play when our fishing village is developed into a scenic spot.
Come and stay. Otherwise, think about it, if even having enough food and clothing is a problem, who would think of running out to play?"
"That's true."
Xu Xiuyuan was so relieved by her niece's few words that she relaxed her brows. She no longer bothered about the increase in building materials prices, and went to the kitchen to prepare delicious food for her niece with a smile on her face.
National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are connected together, and we have to gather together for the two festivals. Of course we have to prepare a few big dishes, which is a lot of fun.
Xu Suizhu took out the Mid-Autumn Festival benefit issued by the school - two kilograms of Cantonese-style moon cakes, put it on a plate and put it on the table. She also squeezed the last few bunches of grapes brought from home into fresh juice and gave it to several children as drinks.
"Gu, did Granny Liu call?"
Xu Xiuyuan poked her head out from the kitchen: "I called. When I went there, there was a worker who had sprained her ankle and was doing acupuncture. I asked her to come over after she finished her work."
Xu Suizhu thought for a while and said, "I'll pick her up."
"That's okay. She always brings something with her when she comes, but she doesn't listen to me. She will listen to your words to some extent. From now on, she can just come with bare hands. Why are you being so polite?"
"good."
Xu Suizhu saw that Little Baozi was playing well with Cuicui and Zhuangzhuang. Her sister-in-law came back from feeding them and was watching over them. She didn't disturb the little ones and took a shortcut to Granny Liu's residence.
As she was walking, she noticed someone behind her. When she turned around, she saw that it was Mr. Lu, who had his hands in his pockets and looked at her with a smile.
Xu Suizhu said helplessly: "Didn't I ask you to lie down on the hard bed? I'll call you after dinner."
"I'm lying down." Lu Chixiao was quite innocent. He walked over and showed her his watch, "It was nine fifty-five when I lay down. Now it's ten twenty-five. I've been lying down for half an hour."
Xu Suizhu was speechless. Did he lie down for her to read?
"Teacher Xu." Lu Chixiao suddenly approached her.
"Um?"
"There's something I've been thinking about for a long time."
"What's the matter?" She raised her head in confusion.
He lowered his head, and then—she was secretly kissed by Mr. Lu.
The movements were so swift and violent that it was impossible to tell that he was injured.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
Until she was interrupted by her aunt's call from far and near: "Sui Sui! Sui Sui!"
Xu Suizhu suddenly woke up - she still had to pick up Granny Liu.
"Come on, Doctor Liu is here! Don't go pick her up on the watermelon field road she took." Xu Xiuyuan stood at the intersection and didn't see her niece, so she called to the house in the back row.
Finally, he said to himself: "Strange! Xiao Lu is not in the room either. Didn't he say he was lying down? Where can he go at this hour?"
Where can I go? This is not taking advantage of her behind the bushes!
Even when her aunt came to find her, she still refused to let go of her arms around her waist.
Pulling out his hair that was extremely messy, she couldn't help but lift her foot and step on his big, generous feet: "It's all your fault!"
"Well, blame me!" Mr. Lu smiled like a spring breeze.
At this moment, let alone just verbally blame him, you would not hesitate to punish him to stand up for two hundred times.
"Still laughing! Let go! Do you want to be seen?" Xu Suizhu used her hands as a comb to comb her hair and glared at him.
Mr. Lu raised his handsome eyebrows.
He doesn't care, he just sees it when he sees it. They will be husband and wife in less than a month. If the young couple kiss passionately, the elders will only be happy even if they see it, right?
But the child's mother is thin-skinned, and he has no choice but to obey her if she doesn't like it.
"Then I'll go out first and lure you away?"
"Hurry up!" Xu Suizhu wanted to push him but didn't dare, for fear of touching his injury, so she could only urge him verbally.
Lu Chixiao smiled, straightened his clothes, and walked out from behind the tree openly.
"Xiao Lu, are you here? Have you seen Suisui?" Xu Xiuyuan saw him and walked over to ask, "She went to invite Doctor Liu to have dinner, but Doctor Liu went to the herbal garden and walked directly around the watermelon patch.
The road is here, and I’m worried that I haven’t seen her in Sui Sui, so I’m still looking around.”
"Okay, I understand. Please go back first, I'll go find her."
"Okay." Xu Xiuyuan stopped worrying because her niece and son-in-law were looking for her, and warned, "Come back as soon as you find her. Dinner will be served when everyone is here."
"Um."
After Xu Xiuyuan left, Mr. Lu raised his hand and knocked on the tree trunk, and said with a smile: "Mom, you can come out now."
"..."
Xu Suizhu, who had her hair tied up, felt the shame that she had suppressed with difficulty was stirred up by him again.
When I walked out from behind the tree, I saw that the culprit was still smiling. I gritted my teeth and glared at him: "Next time if I do this again, I will..."
"What do you want?" He approached her and asked with a low smile.
"I'll just..." Teacher Xu actually got stuck for a while, and hummed after a while, "I'll let Diandian carry you to the middle of the sea, leaving you dizzy!"
After saying the harsh words, Xu Suizhu took advantage of the thirty-sixth plan and ran away leaving the boss behind.
Mr. Lu, who had his wish fulfilled, looked at the delicate back of the child's mother with a smile in his eyes.
…
You can imagine how lively the scene was at the double festival dinner.
There was no room for one table, so two tables were set up: one for the elders and one for the ladies.
However, because Lin Guodong was going to sea in the afternoon and had no plans to drink at noon, he did not sit at the old man's table to avoid being greedy. Instead, he was sandwiched among several children and occupied a small corner on the women's table.
Among his own people, no one would laugh at him.
Seeing this, Lu Chixiao took the bowls and chopsticks and followed him briskly.
"Axiao, why don't you sit next to your elder brother? I have reserved a seat for you." Xu Xiuyuan was scooping duck soup for the children. When she saw him coming over, she asked with concern.
Lu Chilin heard this and joked with a smile: "His 'drinking dishes' are not at this table. How can he eat when he is sitting next to me? Take a bite and look up?"
"Huh?" Xu Xiuyuan raised her head in confusion.
Although there is no drinking at the women's table, dishes such as seaweed peanuts, fried crispy fish, salt-and-pepper shrimps, and smashed potatoes are served in duplicate on both tables. Could it be that which dish was placed wrong?
Are all the dishes on the women's table?
But she glanced at it and saw that it was correct.
Then he asked his niece and son-in-law: "Axiao, which dish do you like to go with the wine? There are many kitchens, so I'll serve another plate."
Young Master Lu laughed softly when he heard this.
Lu Chixiao was worried that his child's mother would be compared to a side dish, and what would he do if he became angry? Before he could take a step forward, he turned back and kicked the leg of his brother's chair: "Relax! If you keep doing this, after drinking the wedding wine for me and Suisui,
Hello, go back to the unit and report!"
Lu Chilin smiled and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."
He hasn't enjoyed enough of the comfortable life on the island, as well as the hot springs in Lishan Village. He has made an appointment to take a dip when the weather gets cold, so how can he be willing to go back to Beijing at the end of the month?
Now, everyone else saw clearly: Ganqing was making fun of the young couple.
Xu Xiuyuan thought for a while: Hey! Now the food and wine turned out to be her niece. She couldn't help but laugh.
