Chapter 513 Sending Wood Sculpture
The next day, Zhu Mingqing got up early, packed up, and waited for the Zhu family to arrive with Luo Tingshan.
At this time, Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu were sitting in the carriage with a nervous mood.
"Master, are you sure that what Jingyi said was really our daughter?" Old Madam Zhu kept groping at her sleeves, feeling incredible.
What's with the fact that he has great kung fu skills, can make money, and has a group of loyal and reliable subordinates? It sounds like he is another person.
Mr. Zhu patted his wife on the shoulder and said, "We've been through so much, and we're all old now. If the child remains the same as before, do you think he can survive in Guancheng?"
"I just feel sad!" Mrs. Zhu's eyes turned red instantly.
Thinking of his beloved daughter, who nearly died in exile at such a young age, even though her life is better now, the suffering she endured cannot be explained away in just a few words.
The carriage swayed and stopped in front of the Luo family's door.
After getting off the carriage, Mrs. Zhu followed behind Mr. Zhu, and the two of them supported each other as they walked in for the second time.
After being brought to Guancheng, he learned that it was his daughter who led people to rescue them.
They thought that the Luo family had put in a lot of effort to arrange for them to stay at the Luo family in the beginning, but they felt it was not good to disturb them too much, so they moved out.
Zhu Mingqing didn't say too much to them. As long as people were safe, nothing else mattered.
The moment he walked into the main hall, Mr. Zhu looked at his daughter in front of him and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Old Madam Zhu was no longer so calm. She burst into tears and walked over her husband to hold her daughter in her arms.
"My poor Qing'er, mother finally sees you!"
Suddenly, he was hugged tightly by someone, and his whole body was filled with a different kind of warmth. The smile on Zhu Mingqing's face paused, and he felt a little awkward in his heart.
After two years in this world, this was the first time I met my original family.
Zhu Mingqing helplessly reached out and patted the old lady's shoulder, then spoke awkwardly: "Mother..."
“Hey!”
Madam Zhu responded happily, her rough hands constantly groping her daughter's body, and as she examined her, she said, "She's lost weight."
Zhu Mingqing let her move her body and wanted to say something, but he had no experience and could only look at Luo Tingshan for help.
Luo Tingshan smiled faintly and stood up: "Father-in-law!"
Mr. Zhu had not had much dealings with the Luo family in his life, especially with this son-in-law who was admired by everyone. The number of times they met could be counted on one hand.
At this time, the old man saw his son-in-law's respectful attitude, suppressed his discomfort, smiled and nodded.
"Okay, there will be plenty of opportunities to see your daughter in the future, so stop crying."
Mr. Zhu pulled his old wife.
Old Madam Zhu glared at him secretly. What? Are you jealous of my close relationship with my daughter?
Mr. Zhu glared back: Don’t forget your business.
The little exchange between the two did not escape Zhu Mingqing's notice. Now she was finally able to break free from the old lady's arms. She immediately stood up and sat a little further away.
After the Zhu couple finished their conversation, Mr. Zhu, the head of the family, clapped his hands.
Someone outside the house immediately brought up three large boxes of gifts.
"Tingshan, we were able to escape from those people this time thanks to you." Old Master Zhu thanked him. "Although the Zhu family is not as wealthy as the Luo family, this is also a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it!"
Hearing this, Luo Tingshan knew that Mr. Zhu had misunderstood.
He looked up and wanted to say something, but seeing Zhu Mingqing's obstructive gaze, he smiled and nodded: "Father-in-law, you are not polite. You are also implicated by the Luo family. If you need anything in the future, you can come to the Luo family to find me!"
Next, there were words of sincere gratitude.
He stayed at the Zhu family for lunch and spent half the afternoon alone with his daughter before the Zhu couple reluctantly left.
After sending the person away, Zhu Mingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She really felt unworthy of this heavy love and care.
"Why didn't you explain it clearly to them just now?" Luo Tingshan asked.
Zhu Mingqing rolled his eyes rudely: "You want me to leave an even more outrageous impression in their minds?"
Luo Tingshan guessed it was because of this, but said: "I hope you can be yourself honestly."
Zhu Mingqing rested his head on one hand and crossed his legs: "I'm just being myself now, but they are her family after all. It's better to make them less sad."
After all, the most painful thing in the world is to see a loved one die.
She used the original owner's body and appeared before them alive. To the Zhu couple, it was as if their daughter was still alive.
Sometimes, not knowing the truth is also a kind of comfort.
Luo Tingshan suddenly said, "You still like to consider others."
Sometimes I behave very selfishly, but in fact there is always a place in my heart that holds subtle kindness.
"Hiss—what's that look in your eyes?" Zhu Mingqing had a strange expression. "I'm getting goosebumps!"
Don't make it seem like she's so selfless.
A smile flashed across Luo Tingshan's dark eyes, and he slowly pulled out a wooden box from his sleeve: "This is for you."
Zhu Mingqing: ???
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!
She looked alert: "Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"
Luo Tingshan couldn't help but laugh.
Never mind, I guessed it a long time ago.
This woman never seemed to have that kind of thought.
"Even though you didn't tell me when your birthday is, I'll consider the time we first met as your birthday!"
Luo Tingshan said in a gentle voice, "Qingqing, happy birthday!"
Zhu Mingqing was surprised and then curled his lips.
"How can you casually decide someone's birthday like that?"
Although he said he was disgusted, his fingers honestly picked up the wooden box on the table, with anticipation flashing in his eyes.
The wooden box opened, revealing a red brocade handkerchief.
It was wrapped very tightly.
Zhu Mingqing glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, then unwrapped the red cloth and found an exquisite little wooden figure the size of a palm.
Looking closely, the wooden man looked somewhat familiar, and his clothes were stained with the most common white color.
"This is... me?"
Zhu Mingqing was really shocked.
Luo Tingshan nodded slightly, and casually raised his arms, revealing his hands covered with red marks.
"Do you like it? I carved it myself."
First I selected the wood, then I copied it privately countless times, and carved many pieces that were damaged, before I got the finished product I have now.
Luo Tingshan hopes that the gift he carefully carved will be loved by the other party.
Of course Zhu Mingqing liked it very much!
This was the first time someone had made a gift for her.
Especially a gift like this that you can tell was put a lot of thought into.
I can't put it down.
"Lao Luo, you are indeed a good brother. On your birthday, I will definitely give you an even better gift!"
The kind that ruins the atmosphere in a second is what straight women like Zhu Mingqing are like.
Luo Tingshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But there was still a smile on his face.
"Okay, I'll wait."
"Then is there anything you want?" Zhu Mingqing couldn't help but ask.
Luo Tingshan was convinced.
How can you give someone a gift and ask in advance? Shouldn't you prepare it privately and give the other person a surprise?
