Chapter 667: Being a Host

Zhou Zixu asked Lu Sihui in a low voice, holding her hand in front of his grandfather, as if he didn't notice his grandfather's frequent glares at him.

"No problem."

Lu Sihui nodded. When she first bought the house, she was thinking of giving it to Jianguo. The yard was big enough to build another room.

"We will live here temporarily after we get married. When Jianguo grows up and needs to get married, I will apply for a family housing unit in the army and we will give the house to him."

Zhou Zixu was very thoughtful and knew that Sihui was most concerned about Jianguo.

"Does he know the house?"

Lu Sihui smiled. She didn’t care, as long as she had a place to live.

"I know. He doesn't have classes tomorrow, Sunday. I'll pick him up."

Zhou Zixu wanted to give Sihui a surprise first. As for his brother-in-law, he had come once when the name was changed.

"OK!"

Lu Sihui smiled. She hadn’t seen Jianguo for two months and she missed him very much.

"Sihui, I asked your Aunt Su to buy some vegetables. Let's cook them here today. It's our first meal."

Old Master Zhou heard them whispering and interrupted their conversation with a smile. Zhou Zixu had bought all the pots and pans in the kitchen, but had never used them. He didn't want to go back today, so he started cooking here.

"Okay! I'll cook."

Lu Sihui smiled. This was her home and she should play the role of a good host.

"I'm going to go get some game."

Knowing that her grandfather loved to eat game, she planned to go into the mountains to get some.

"I'll go with you."

Zhou Zixu volunteered, as he was worried about her going into the mountains alone.

"Come on, don't go, Xiao Su will be back soon."

Mr. Zhou didn't let them leave and took them to the yard to talk about his plan.

"I plan to lay bricks here. When the pear blossoms bloom, I will set up a stone table and stone chairs under the tree and play chess. It will be so pleasant. I will also lay red bricks in the middle of the two gardens and plant grapes on both sides..."

Grandpa was so happy that he started to talk fluently, telling them the design he had in mind.

"Haha, old man, I heard your voice outside the yard."

Aunt Su came in with a bag full of vegetables. She started teasing the old man as soon as she entered the yard.

"Grandpa, I noticed that you have a loud voice now. You should let Dr. Tang check you again. I think your illness is cured."

If Aunt Su hadn't mentioned it, Zixu wouldn't have noticed it. But when she said it, he remembered that he hadn't heard his grandfather wheezing in his throat for a long time, and he didn't speak with as much strength as before. His voice sounded like a loud bell, comparable to that of a young man.

Hearing his grandson's words, the smile on Grandpa Zhou's face froze, and he even forgot that he was a terminally ill person.

"No more checking, that's good."

Not wanting to add to his troubles, Mr. Zhou rejected his grandson's suggestion. He also became worried because of Zixu's words.

Lu Sihui cooked herself. She refused Aunt Su's offer to help and pushed her out of the kitchen while she closed the door and cooked herself.

She worked quickly and finished three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes in no time.

"It smells so good. Sihui's cooking skills are better than those of any chef."

When Mr. Zhou saw the food being served on the table, a smile appeared on his face again.

He is a free and easy person. The fact that he has a terminal illness will only make him feel uncomfortable for a while, and now he has put it behind his mind.

"Aunt Sihui, I want to eat the meals you cook every day."

Dongsheng acted coquettishly and cutely, afraid that his uncle would not let him live with him, so he flattered Aunt Sihui first.

Zhou Zixu glared at him. There was cunning in the little guy's big dark eyes. He said, "Don't we have to live here just to eat every day?"

He reached out and hooked his nose, then cursed him with a smile.

"You kid, are you setting a trap for Aunt Sihui to fall into again?"
