Chapter 192 Surprise]
Xia Xiulan looked at Qin Jiaguo's back and cursed him with a smile, then turned to Lu Jinghe and said, "Don't mind it, Xiao Lu, your uncle is just like that."
"It's okay, I know what my uncle thinks." Lu Jinghe smiled and shook his head. He just felt happy and didn't think it was a big deal. He took out two big bags and distributed them, "This is for you, auntie, and this one is for your brother, both are two sets."
"I'm sorry for spending money on you, good boy, auntie thanks you." Xia Xiulan smiled happily, wiped her hands on her apron, and ran into the house holding the things she received.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Qin Yue was just happy and shouted loudly with joy.
The shout was so loud and clear, and they ran in joyfully to see their gifts. Lu Jinghe was also very happy to hear it, and his mouth was almost grinning behind his ears unconsciously.
Lu Jinghe also took out Qin Yian's clothes and asked her to try them on.
Qin Yian thought about how happy it would be if the whole family tried them on, so she decided to go and try them on.
After Lu Jinghe gave her the things, he squatted there and packed up the clothes he bought for grandpa and other elders.
"Don't pack anymore, go try on your new clothes."
Qin Yian took out two sets of men's clothes from the sack she took down from the car and handed them over.
One set is a woolen coat, the other is a large cotton jacket, all matched to form a complete set of clothes. She bought them when Lu Jinghe went to borrow a cart. She saw them while shopping and waited for him to leave to find an opportunity to buy them.
"When did you buy them?"
Lu Jinghe held the clothes, his eyes full of surprise and joy. Qin Yian immediately felt that this wave of secretly buying clothes was worth it.
"Keep it a secret, you go and try it on, I'll try it on first." Qin Yian stuffed the clothes in her hand to him and ran away happily.
Sure enough, giving others a surprise will also give you double the happiness.
After a while, the whole family was filled with the joy of wearing new clothes.
They asked each other: "Does it look good?"
All they received were: "It looks good!" "It fits you very well!" "It looks so handsome!"
The winter clothes that Lu Jinghe bought received unanimous praise and won the hearts of the entire Lu family.
The two sets of clothes that Qin Yian bought also captured Lu Jinghe's heart. He couldn't let them go and kept grinning. Even after he changed the clothes, he couldn't stop grinning, looking like a fool.
He put the clothes away like a treasure, folded them neatly, and smoothed out all the wrinkles. He put them on the bedside table in the room where he slept, looked at them again and again, touched them again and again, and was almost ready to be framed. He
walked out of the room with a smile on his face, handed the clothes for the eldest to Mother Xia to pick up first, and then quickly delivered the wine to his future father-in-law.
As soon as the wine was brought out, Qin Jiaguo smelled the smell, and his smile became more and more frequent. The look he gave Lu Jinghe became more and more peaceful, and he became more and more satisfied.
"Okay, okay, you are thoughtful, you brought out the good wine of twenty years, which was brewed by the former Master Wen!"
"Yes, I brought it specially to honor you, uncle." Lu Jinghe certainly felt the change in his future father-in-law's mood towards him. Today, one thing after another made him happy, making him so happy that he almost flew. He quickly took the Maotai and the jar of white wine and put them away.
He also took out a bottle of vanishing cream, Pechoin and other skin care products and handed them to Xia Xiulan, causing her to praise him and smile with joy.
He took out paper and pen and other study supplies for Qin Yue, who accepted them happily. As long as he didn't give him homework like his sister did, he would jump up and down to express his joy.
Qin Yian sat on the side, laughing and shaking his head. Now, the whole family was completely happy with him.
With the gift-giving process laid out, Qin Yian and Lu Jinghe told their parents about inviting the elders to dinner.
"Okay, I'll go." Qin Jiaguo put down his glass and responded loudly.
His voice was crisp and clear, and his actions were also crisp and clear. He didn't have any reluctance at all, and there was no awkwardness at the beginning.
With a bright smile on his face, he was in a very good mood, shaking his head with his hands behind his back, and walking outside humming an incoherent tune.
Qin Yian looked at his father's back and smiled helplessly:
"Dad, he has really changed so quickly. People say that women are fickle, but I say men are just as fickle. Look, it's only been a short time and his attitude has changed a lot."
Xia Xiulan took the stage behind his back: "Your father is hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. Now he is taking advantage of others and is soft-mouthed. Once his mouth is soft, he loses all his persistence. Isn't it done?"
Lu Jinghe was squatting under the eaves and cleaning the mutton in his hands neatly. Hearing this, he said: "Uncle is a man of true temperament and a good father who loves children."
"Xiao Lu, if your uncle hears this, he will be so angry."
Xia Xiulan looked happy, but she liked this child more and more in her heart. He can do well in action, he can talk, he is thoughtful, and he has good abilities. The key is that he values her as his daughter.
"Xiao Lu, sit down and take a rest. You've been busy buying groceries for most of the day. I'll do it next."
"Auntie, don't worry about me. I've already thought of what to cook when I bought these vegetables. I'll do it. I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about it. You're the one who's really working hard. Just sit down and take a rest."
Lu Jinghe quickly waved his hand to refuse. Just kidding, today is the key moment for him to perform well, win over the whole family, and live a happy life.
He wants to use all his cooking skills to conquer everyone.
He is now full of energy and motivation, and can't wait to show his skills and cook a table of dishes.
"How can you take care of this child? It's not a good thing." Xia Xiulan pulled the person aside and persuaded him. Today was like her future son-in-law coming to her house, and she felt bad letting him take care of it.
Qin Yian was helping her brother with his homework. Seeing them vying for work made her laugh and cry. She immediately waved at the two of them and shouted,
"I say stop pushing the responsibility here and there. Listen to me. Mom, don't worry about whether he does the job well or not. Let him do it. If you don't let him do it, he'll feel uneasy. Just reassure him and treat him as a family. Don't be so polite. Family members won't be so distant. Second, he's a chef with great skills and knows the dishes well. This is a plus. Let him perform well in front of the elders." She
understood Lu Jinghe's true thoughts. He was trying to win the good impression of the whole family, young and old, and wanted to gain their support and consent. He wanted to have a clear way out. This guy wanted to tell the whole world about it.
Now he was looking at her with a happy smile on his face, and it was obvious that her words had touched his heart.
Qin Yian pulled his mother to sit down.
"We can just help him, wash the vegetables and light the fire, and let him take charge of the cooking. When he bought vegetables today, he deliberately tempted me with the dishes. I was drooling while listening to them. I really want to eat them."
How could Qin Yue be missing from the topic of eating? He raised his hand excitedly and shouted, "And me, I want to eat them too!"
"You two are greedy!" Xia Xiulan scolded with a smile, her tone full of doting. She turned around and walked to Lu Jinghe and said, "Okay, Xiao Lu and I will be a family in the future. We should not have different opinions. The cooking is handed over to you. We will help you. Just tell me what you want me to do."
Lu Jinghe was not polite and assigned the work: "Then please wash the radish, cut it into four pieces in a circle, and make it bigger. Use it to stew the mutton soup, the taste will be richer."
"Okay, I'll leave this to you." Xia Xiulan agreed loudly, and happily dragged the basin to the well to take out the bag of radishes and wash some of them.
Both of them worked hard.
