Chapter 336 The Lu Family Can’t Afford It
The next day.
After having breakfast, Gu Xiaoxi made flower wine at home.
Although Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu didn't know what she was doing, they felt that the whole house was filled with a fragrant scent, a very pleasant and refreshing one.
At first, it was just the two old people watching, and later Wei Mingying and Wei Mingyu also watched from the side, unable to move for a long time.
"Xiaoxi, what kind of wine are you getting? It smells so good. When I put it on my body, I feel like I smell good all over." Wei Mingyu asked while taking a breath.
"This is a flower wine suitable for women to drink. It replenishes blood and nourishes the skin. I made it for you and my mother. Please take a small bottle back for my mother."
Wei Mingyu glanced at her sister and said with a smile, "Sister, you are so lucky. I am doing this thanks to you."
"You are their aunt, so it is their duty to be filial to you." There was a deep smile in Wei Mingying's eyes.
After Gu Xiaoxi had brewed the wine, she moved out a box of small glass bottles from her room and divided the specially made flower-brewed wine into four small jars, leaving two jars for her mother-in-law, one jar for her aunt, and one for her mother.
Afterwards, she took out a hundred-year-old ginseng and began to prepare ginseng wine.
When Grandpa Lu saw the ginseng, his eyes widened.
"Such good ginseng needs to be soaked in wine. Otherwise it would be a waste."
"Yes. I'll add some other herbs and make a hundred kilograms of wine! Grandpa and grandma drink this wine. It would be better for my dad and uncle to drink some of this wine, too."
Gu Xiaoxi was talking as he was making the dishes, showing great skill.
"Xiaoxi is so thoughtful!" Wei Mingyu was deeply moved.
Xiaoxi wants her to bring more things back this time!
Besides, it is not very convenient to send things like ginseng wine.
After working hard for half a day, Gu Xiaoxi cut a few hundred-year-old ginseng whiskers and brewed two small pots of ginseng wine.
"Aunt, take these two small bottles of ginseng wine back with you this time. The big ginseng wine will be purer in two months, so let my mother pack some and send it to you."
"Okay, I'll send it to your aunt later." Wei Mingying nodded with a smile.
Wei Mingyu couldn't help laughing either.
Xiaoxi is a very thoughtful girl.
I thought everything would be fine after she made the ginseng wine, but I didn't expect this girl to quietly take out a hundred-year-old ginseng.
This time, everyone in the family stared in amazement.
"Xiaoxi, why do you have so many ginsengs?" Grandpa Lu almost thought he was seeing things.
Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled, "I told grandma the other day that I dug up ginseng and sold it for a lot of money. I kept this secretly, otherwise it would have been bought away by the man that Zhang Lao brought over. This has been processed, and I cut it into dried ginseng slices and kept it at home for emergency use."
She quickly cut the ginseng into slices, took out a few small glass bottles, divided all the ginseng slices into six portions, and gave two small bottles to her aunt.
"Aunt, keep this for yourselves. You don't have to give it to my parents. I secretly gave some to them the last time they went to Qingbei."
Wei Mingyu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll keep them all."
These are great things that money can’t buy, they can save your life.
"Aren't you hungry? Isn't it time for lunch?" Lu Jianlin, who had been a background board for half a day, couldn't help but remind everyone.
Grandma Lu stood up with a smile, "Okay, let's eat. Let's keep it simple for lunch today. How about some wontons?"
"Okay, I'll cook." Wei Mingyu immediately followed Grandma Lu into the kitchen.
Gu Xiaoxi assigned Lu Jianlin a task, "Move this jar of ginseng wine to Grandpa's room."
"Okay." Lu Jianlin quickly got up and started working.
Gu Xiaoxi tidied up the table and went to the kitchen to help.
Just as the wontons were placed on the table, there was a knock on the door.
When Gu Xiaoxi looked up, he saw several figures flashing at the door.
"Is Mr. Lu at home?" someone shouted outside.
Lu Jianlin took a look and immediately ran to open the door.
"Grandpa Si, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Xu... Uncle Si, Aunt Lin..." Lu Jianlin hurriedly invited them into the house.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't know these people, but from the way Lu Jianlin addressed them, she knew that they were Si Nanyu's grandfather and parents, as well as several families in the military compound who were on good terms with the Lu family and had come to visit her mother-in-law.
Gu Xiaoxi then called people and quickly made tea for everyone.
"I'm sorry to disturb your meal!" said the driver with a smile.
"We had dinner a little late today." Grandpa Lu greeted a few old friends with a smile.
"Is Mingying feeling better?" Grandpa Si looked at Wei Mingying, who was wearing a hat and looked okay.
Others were also looking at Wei Mingying, either with regret or heartache.
Wei Mingying nodded. "Except for the occasional headache and the fact that I keep dreaming about that day, everything else is fine."
She didn't tell these people that, in fact, except that her hair was a little shorter, she didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere and her head didn't hurt anymore.
Those people in the He family must continue to be blamed in order to soothe her inner pain.
Oh, she heard that the He family thought she was dead and beat He Lin in the middle of the night as a joke!
He deserves to be beaten to death.
He Lin pushed her with great force, and she could feel that He Lin did it on purpose and not accidentally.
The Lu family couldn't afford such a cruel and vicious person.
"You have to take good care of him and don't worry too much." Si Nanyu's mother Lin Qin comforted him.
"Why don't we all eat together? I'll go cook some more wontons for everyone." Gu Xiaoxi prepared to go to the kitchen.
Si Yeye and others waved their hands and said, "We came here after dinner. You guys eat first, don't worry about us."
Gu Xiaoxi let them talk first while she went to the kitchen to get some apples and squeezed them into juice. She then prepared a glass of warm apple juice for each person and asked Lu Jianlin to bring it out to everyone.
In this way, they can have lunch while the guests drink juice, and it doesn't seem like they are being neglectful.
While chatting, Grandpa Si told Grandpa Lu about the marriage of Si Nanyu and Qi Shuangshuang.
"The two kids originally wanted to get engaged in Qingbei first and then return to Kyoto for the wedding at the end of the year, but we just happened to have an opportunity here to have Shuangshuang transferred to Kyoto, so we plan to arrange the wedding seven days later. We are almost ready here, and Elder Qi has agreed..."
Grandpa Lu smiled and said, "Nanyu is a filial child with good taste. I will definitely go and have a drink with him when the time comes."
"This time I came here not only to see Mingying, but also to invite you guys."
Gu Xiaoxi was listening nearby and was also very happy for Qi Shuangshuang and Si Nanyu.
After everyone left, she began to think about what to give them as a wedding gift.
Glancing at the exchange mall, she suddenly saw a huge red envelope passing across the screen.
She was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly.
The next moment, the red envelope was opened, showing that she had received 1 billion points.
Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment. How could she receive such a huge red envelope?
