Chapter 47 Happy National Day

October 1st was a day of national celebration. Zhou Qingti rarely slept until he woke up naturally.

The dessert shop was closed today but she still had to go there, planning to bring an eight-inch fruit cake to the old house in the evening.

When she opened the door, she found that Lu Yanzhi had returned from exercising for an hour and had brought her breakfast.

"Thank you." Zhou Qingti sat at the dining table with her face bare and drinking coffee.

She was holding her phone and replying to a friend's message. Three days before National Day, Lin Miao told her that she was on vacation and planning to go to Xinjiang with Xiao Fu and his friends.

Just told her I'm on the plane.

[I wish you a happy journey, remember to hold hands and don’t get lost. ]

In Lin Miao's words, her relationship with Xiao Fu was just missing the finishing touch.

There are already over 99 messages in Zhou Qingti’s circle of friends, and it seems like there is a group of people praising the photos he posted last night.

She replied to all her familiar friends and relatives one by one and finished her breakfast.

Lu Yanzhi finished his shower and came out in a bathrobe. He walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and took two sips: "I'll go to the store with you."

Zhou Qingti stared at the water droplets on his hair, which were about to drip onto his collarbone.

"Okay, go blow dry your hair first."

Lu Yanzhi came over and rubbed the top of her head: "Okay."

The water droplets from his hair dripped onto her arms, feeling cold.

Lu Yanzhi wiped it off for her with his fingertips.

After Lu Yanzhi expressed his feelings to her last night, the window paper between them was finally broken.

Maybe it was a transition from ambiguity to love. Zhou Qingti wasn't sure because there was no difference from before.

It's interesting to fall in love with a marriage certificate.

Zhou Qingti sat at the custom-made dressing table and put on makeup. She was attending a family dinner today, so she put on natural makeup.

She was always quick at putting on makeup, and it only took her ten minutes. Lu Yanzhi had already changed his clothes and was waiting for her.

He wore a gray polo shirt and sweater with black pants today, and a white inner layer underneath.

He is definitely a youthful male college student.

Ever since his grandmother told him that he had become younger the last time he returned to the old house, there have been many loose clothes in his wardrobe. His previous clothes were basically tailored to fit him.

Zhou Qingti took a gray sweater from the closet and secretly wore couple's outfits with him.

When Lu Yanzhi saw what she was wearing, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Alright?"

"Well, let's go."

Lu Yanzhi was driving a G-Class today. He knew how to make Zhou Qingti fall in love with him.

…

The two of them came to the dessert shop together, and Lu Yanzhi was holding the cherries and blueberries he had just bought.

She bought the best fruits to make food for the elders in her family.

The fruit cost of a cake was more than six hundred, so she didn't let Lu Yanzhi make it.

Although he was eager to try, he was only asked to make jam from some cherries and blueberries.

Zhou Qingti was skilled and finished it quickly with the help of Lu Yanzhi.

He also asked Lu Yanzhi to write a few words on the cake: I wish the motherland prosperity.

The layout suddenly opened up, and the chocolate-yellow font became redder and redder.

Zhou Qingti put the cake in the freezer and came back to pick it up in the evening. They had to go to her parents' house for lunch.

Lu Yanzhi felt a little nervous for no reason, even more nervous than when he first met his parents.

On the way, Zhou Qingti briefly talked about her grandparents' situation. They were just an ordinary working-class family.

Grandpa loved to drink but can't do it now, and grandma is a very frugal person.

Just like tens of millions of ordinary elderly people in China.

Zhou Qingti stared at the license plate of the car in front and said, "Actually, I plan to buy a villa in G City for my parents to live in. It will also be convenient for my grandparents to come and live here."

When she first became rich, she told Zhou's mother that she wanted to buy them a new house.

The house they live in now is too old, has no elevator, suffers from frequent power outages, and is small with only three cramped bedrooms.

But Zhou's mother said that the house was big enough for the two of them, and after living together for a long time, the neighbors became familiar with each other and it was good to take care of each other.

Lu Yan placed one hand on the steering wheel and used the other hand to change the song in the car music to Jay Chou's code.

"I have a villa in the western suburbs. You can take your parents there to have a look. If you like it, you can move in directly."

Zhou Qingti looked at him and said, "I know you have a lot of properties, but I want to buy one myself."

Although her money was also given by him, it was different.

However, the location in the western suburbs is quite good. It is right at the foot of the mountain where the Lu family’s old house lived. If my parents lived there, it would be convenient for them to visit both families.

"Are there any villas for sale in the western suburbs?" Zhou Qingti decided to act first and ask for permission later. She didn't believe that his parents would be willing to let a house worth more than 10 million yuan sit empty after they had already bought it.

"There should be second-hand houses. I'll ask for you."

"Okay." Zhou Qingti took out her cell phone. Mother Zhou was already asking her when she would arrive.

…

Her parents had already told her grandparents about Zhou Qingti's matter in advance, and as soon as Lu Yanzhi entered the door, the two old people stuffed a thick red envelope into her hand.

They knew Lu Yanzhi wasn't short of money, but this was a token of his elders' kindness, so Lu Yanzhi accepted it with a smile: "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma."

Lu Yanzhi doesn't talk much, but his every move reveals his cultivation and nobility. The more his grandparents look at him, the more satisfied they are with him.

The people at the table kept asking Lu Yanzhi to eat more.

"Grandma, this is not his first day at home. Please eat more." Zhou Qingti knew that Lu Yanzhi always ate less staple foods.

Grandma looked at his gentle appearance and could not hide her fondness: "Is that all you want to eat? Have another bowl."

"Thank you, grandma. I'm full. The food is delicious." Lu Yanzhi picked up another quail egg.

Because they were going to visit their in-laws' house in the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou specially bought new clothes for the old couple.

My grandfather's Chinese-style buttoned jacket is gray, and it actually gives him a Taoist-like air when he wears it.

Grandma's is rose red, and she looks like a festive old lady.

After dinner, Zhou Qingti pulled Zhou's mother into the room and said, "Yanzhi's father and mother divorced a long time ago, and now this is his stepmother, and their relationship is very bad."

This was the first time Mother Zhou had heard of this, and she was at a loss: "Then should I ignore her then?"

"No, just be polite and don't call her mother-in-law. Just know this."

She just didn't want Lu Yanzhi to be unhappy. It was his right to like or hate someone, and it was impossible for them to have a grand reconciliation.

Mother Zhou understood: "Okay, I got it. I'll tell your dad and the others later. Yanzhi's dad and grandma can communicate normally, right?"

"Um."

…

The family sat down to make tea. Zhou Qingti slowly poured the tea from the purple clay teapot into the teacup: "Yanzhi brought this Mingqian Longjing tea. Grandpa, please try it."

Zhou Qingti's movements were gentle, and her tea art was considered graceful in the eyes of outsiders. If she wore a cheongsam, she would have a certain ancient charm.

Grandpa Zhou put down his teacup and said, "It's a delicious tea that lingers on your lips and teeth."

Father Zhou also raised his teacup to taste it: "I bought this water specially. It costs over a hundred yuan for two liters. If it weren't for Yanzhi's teapot and tea, I wouldn't be willing to give it away."

The tea set Lu Yanzhi gave him cost 52,000 yuan. Usually, Mr. Zhou treated it like a treasure and was reluctant to use it.

Grandma Zhou groaned, "It's so expensive, I have to drink two more cups."

Zhou Qingti poured another cup for grandma. Lu Yanzhi touched her elbow and showed her his cell phone.

This is a chat record with a real estate manager. Lu Yanzhi asked him about the villa ten minutes ago.

The other party replied: [Mr. Lu, there are three villas for sale in the western suburbs. You are welcome to come and view the houses at any time.]

"Do you have anything to do this afternoon? Otherwise, go now."

"OK."

Zhou Qingti stood up and said, "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, Yanzhi and I are going out to do something.

A driver will come to pick you up at 4:30. Dad, please don't drive. It will be difficult to drive back if you drink at night."

Mother Zhou felt relieved to see that her daughter had arranged everything for them. Her daughter had grown up.

Father Zhou waved his hand: "I understand, go and deal with whatever you need."
