Chapter 321 This May Be Fate



"Don't worry, come to my house for dinner tonight," said the village chief, "let's have a good chat."

Lu Youxi thought about it and said, "How about tomorrow? I want to accompany Grandma Xu tonight. Although it's a little late, I hope it can make up for the regret of Grandma Xu being alone at home on New Year's Eve."

The village chief originally wanted to ask Grandma Xu to come as well, but then he thought, Grandma Xu is old and an elder, so how could it make sense to let an elder come to their home?

They should go to Grandma Xu's place.

The village chief really had something to say to Lu Youxi, so he said, "Why don't we go to Grandma Xu's house tonight? It'll be great if we can all be together and have some fun."

The village chief's wife glared at the village chief and said, "You are really amazing! You are not afraid of causing trouble to others!"

Liu Yushu smiled and said, "What's the problem? It's more fun with more people. Come all of you!"

Liu Yushu said: "I'll show you my skills. I've learned a lot of dishes."

The village head's wife said quickly, "Then I'll go there in advance and go with you."

With so many people, how can Liu Yusu be left alone to do all the work?

Liu Yusu was indeed too busy, so she did not refuse.

So Lu Youxi and others hurried back to Grandma Xu's house.

When Lu Youxi and his companions were still at the village chief's house, Grandma Xu heard the villagers say that Lu Youxi and his companions had returned.

I heard that Zhou Shuyan's mother also came, saying that she wanted to wish her a happy new year.

Grandma Xu hasn't met Lu Youxi yet, so she doesn't know where they will stay when they come back this time.

It would be nice if I could still live with her.

Grandma Xu couldn't help but go to the gate of the yard and stood there looking out.

I told myself not to have too much hope because they have their own things to do.

But I still can't help looking forward to it.

But after waiting for a long time, no one showed up. As the sky gradually darkened, I became a little dazed after standing there for so long.

Grandma Xu sighed and was about to go back when she suddenly heard someone shouting, "Grandma Xu!"

Grandma Xu was stunned for a moment, then looked over and saw a group of people approaching in the distance.

Lu Youxi quickened his pace and ran in the front.

He came to Grandma Xu first and said, "Grandma Xu, Happy New Year!"

"Okay, okay!" Grandma Xu nodded repeatedly, smiling from ear to ear.

"Grandma Xu, is there enough space at home? We have nowhere to live when we come back." Lu Youxi said while holding Grandma Xu's hand.

"Yes, yes, yes. I just did a thorough cleaning before the New Year, and the room is very clean. The sheets and quilt covers are all new." Grandma Xu said hurriedly. When she heard Lu Youxi ask "home", her heart was so warm.

It was like her own child had returned! "Come in!" Grandma Xu called out to the people who had already walked up to her.

"Auntie Xu!" Xu Jingmin walked up to Grandma Xu.

Previously, Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan both called her Grandma Xu, and Xu Jingmin got used to it and started calling her Grandma Xu as well.

But this is indeed inappropriate. You can't just call your son by his generational title.

So when she really got in front of Grandma Xu, Xu Jingmin changed her words.

"I am Shuyan's mother." Xu Jingmin grabbed Grandma Xu's hand.

Grandma Xu's hands were rough but warm. When Xu Jingmin held them, she felt warm to her heart.

"Aunt Xu, my last name is Xu, too. My name is Xu Jingmin." Xu Jingmin was a little choked up with emotion. "Thank you, thank you for saving my child. If it weren't for you, I would have no child. I almost... I have already lost my husband and my son. Thank you for saving my son."

Xu Jingmin's hands were so delicate, like a little girl's, that Grandma Xu didn't dare hold them for fear that she would be disgusted.

Instead, Xu Jingmin held Grandma Xu's hand very tightly.

"And I didn't save them alone. Yuxi was also there." Grandma Xu hurriedly explained, fearing that Xu Jingmin would misunderstand and take all the credit for herself. "I'm old and can't do much. It was Yuxi who did all the lifting and running around."

"I know that you and Youxi saved Shuyan together." Xu Jingmin said, "Anyway, thank you very much...

"Maybe this is fate. My surname is Xu, and yours is also Xu." Xu Jingmin said with a smile.

"Stop crying." Grandma Xu hurriedly wiped her tears with her hands. After wiping for a while, she remembered that her hands were rough.

Xu Jingmin's face was too tender to look like someone who had a son as old as Zhou Shuyan. She was afraid of making the man uncomfortable, so she quickly tried to withdraw her hand.

Xu Jingmin felt warm on her face and in her heart. She grabbed Grandma Xu's hand and rubbed it on her face.

How could her children have the heart to be so unfilial to such a good old lady?

"Aunt Xu, to be honest, my mother also died early." Xu Jingmin sniffed, "I look at you and feel really close to you."

Perhaps, it was her mother's blessing from somewhere else.

The seriously injured Zhou Shuyan was met by Grandma Xu and Lu Youxi.

"Child, don't cry, everything is fine." Grandma Xu said gently.

Xu Jingmin sighed inwardly when she saw that Grandma Xu was having a hard time but was still comforting her.

"It's cold outside, come with me into the house." Grandma Xu held Xu Jingmin's hand and said to everyone.

So everyone carried bags and suitcases and followed Grandma Xu into the house.

There are two empty rooms in the house.

One room is for Lu Zhenguo and his wife, and the other room is just right for Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi.

But now with Xu Jingmin joining the team, it becomes a little difficult to make arrangements.

Xu Jingmin still held Grandma Xu's hand and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, I will sleep in the same room with you, okay?"

"No, no, how could I despise you?" Grandma Xu said hurriedly, "On the contrary, I'm afraid that you would despise me, an old lady."

"No way, who do you think I am?" Xu Jingmin said.

So that's how it was settled.

Liu Yusu packed up her things and was about to go to the kitchen when the village chief's wife arrived.

"Grandma Xu, Youxi." The village head's wife was not empty-handed. She also took a freshly killed chicken, two fish, and some ribs.

"Am I not late?" the village chief's wife came in and said.

"No, I was just about to go to the kitchen." Liu Yusu said with a smile.

When Grandma Xu saw the village head's wife had brought so many things, she asked hurriedly, "Why did you bring so many?"

"There are a lot of people here tonight, and we have three more people in our family, so we have to add some dishes." The village head's wife explained with a smile, "There are also some snacks, but they are all with Lao Fang, and I can't take them. He and Fang Yanshun will be here soon."

The village head’s wife was a quick person. She took these things and went to the kitchen with Liu Yusu without any delay.

Lu Youxi took out the things for Aunt Lin and Aunt Liu and said, "I'll go and wish Aunt Lin and Aunt Liu a happy new year. It's not good to delay it until tomorrow."
