Chapter 257 A Suspicious Face
When the car arrived home, the first ones to come out to greet us were naturally the three little cuties.
The courtyard gate was originally open, and Pengpeng and his two younger brothers pushed the door to the side. They waited for Liu Wangxue to drive the car in and park it. As soon as the car door was opened, they rushed in together.
When Liu Nanshan got out of the passenger seat, Gu Xuelan had already come over to greet him, and the two of them had a long-awaited hug. After he let go of Gu Xuelan, he realized that Xu Qingsong was also standing beside him.
"Uncle, you're back." Xu Qingsong reached out to him.
Liu Nanshan shook hands with him and patted his shoulder: "It's been a while since we last met, but you've become more and more handsome."
Xu Qingsong smiled: "You are praising me... Then I won't be polite, I will accept it all."
Liu Nanshan liked people like him who were straightforward. "I just brought some home-cooked food back. You can stay here and have dinner with us."
Gu Xuelan patted him and said, "You were supposed to eat with us. All the dishes tonight were bought by Qingsong."
"How can you let other people's children buy things?" Liu Nanshan disagreed.
Gu Xuelan wanted to roll her eyes at him, but he really didn't know.
Because she was concerned about her uncle's presence, Gu Xuelan only talked about daily trivialities with Liu Nanshan during the video call, and did not mention a word about her daughter and the boy next door.
"Go wash your hands quickly, we'll be having dinner soon." After saying that, Gu Xuelan walked towards the kitchen.
Liu Wangxue got along well with the three of them and led them out of the car: "Mom, Dad brought back some sausages, let's steam two later."
"Okay, bring it to me later." Gu Xuelan said without even turning her head.
Xu Qingsong glanced at Liu Wangxue and said to Liu Nanshan, "Uncle, you take a break first. I'll go help Auntie."
When Liu Nanshan came back today, there was no more meat at home. During breakfast, Gu Xuelan told Xu Qingsong to look after the three while she went to the vegetable market for a walk.
Wang Keng happened to meet Xu Qingsong again, so Xu Qingsong bought some food and did not ask Gu Xuelan to go. He bought a lot of things based on what Liu Wangxue liked to eat.
In the evening, when he had almost finished his work, he came to help Gu Xuelan prepare dinner. He cooked several dishes. Gu Xuelan had never seen him cook before, so she was a little surprised. He cooked home-cooked dishes that looked pretty good.
Liu Nanshan took the suitcase out of the trunk, dragged it to the living room, opened it, took out the sausage inside and handed it to Liu Wangxue: "Here, give it to your mother first."
Liu Wangxue took the bag but didn't leave in a hurry because the three of them were staring at Liu Nanshan curiously.
Liu Nanshan also noticed it. He touched Pengpeng's head and said, "Why, Pengpeng doesn't remember me?"
Liu Wangxue acted as an introducer and said to Pengpeng, "This is grandpa."
Peng Peng stretched out his nose and sniffed, as if he recognized it. He walked forward a few steps and rubbed it hard in Liu Nanshan's arms.
Liu Nanshan hugged it with a smile: "Hey, what a good dog!"
After they were done being intimate, Liu Wangxue hung the plastic bag around its neck and patted its head: "Go, take it to the kitchen."
Pengpeng turned around and ran towards the kitchen.
"Hey, so obedient." Liu Nanshan praised, and then he looked at Xiaoci in Liu Wangxue's arms: "Is this the cat you bought at such a high price? It is really beautiful, even better than in the video. Come, let me hug you."
Liu Wangxue handed the little porcelain to his father and said to it, "This is grandpa, I want to hug you."
But before she could reach Liu Nanshan's hand, Xiao Ci jumped down, refusing to let him hold her. She walked around and came back to pull up Liu Wangxue's trouser legs.
Liu Wangxue picked it up again. Liu Nanshan reached out and touched the cat's head, saying with a smile, "It's just like your mom said, it's shy."
Liu Wangxue nodded: "Not only is he shy, but he's also very arrogant and holds grudges."
"It's not good to hold grudges. You have to teach them." Liu Nanshan said, "It's just like raising a child. Bad habits must be corrected in time."
"It's okay, we're all outsiders." Liu Wangxue pinched Xiaoci's face, and it felt really good.
"That's fine." Liu Nanshan was a protective person to begin with. He shifted his gaze to Liu Wangxue's shoulder and waved at the little parrot, "Guo Guo?"
Gua Gua had been standing on Liu Wangxue's shoulder, without saying a word, just staring at Liu Nanshan.
Liu Wangxue took it down and placed it in Liu Nanshan's palm: "Call me grandpa."
Liu Nanshan looked expectant.
Guagua tilted his head.
Liu Wangxue scratched its chin and laughed at it: "You can even call me 'Dad', so why can't you call me Grandpa?"
Liu Nanshan also watched the video, it was really funny, and he liked this little guy even more: "Maybe he hasn't learned it before, I'll teach him slowly."
"I learned to call him 'Dad' without any instruction," said Liu Wangxue.
"That's not necessarily true," Liu Nanshan stroked the little parrot's head, "Doesn't your mother often take them to watch TV series? Most likely, they learned this from the TV series."
"Maybe," Liu Wangxue felt strange. "When it sees people in the past, this bird will inevitably go and say 'greetings'. What happened today? It's not taking the initiative at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gua Gua started jumping in Liu Nanshan's palm: "Hello! Hello!"
It's like I just came back to life.
Liu Nanshan greeted it.
Unexpectedly, the bird then asked him: "Are you scared? Are you scared?"
Well, Liu Wangxue thought, the new language teaching model has started.
Liu Nanshan had already heard what Gu Xuelan said, so he smiled and said, "Hello, are you scared?"
This two-legged creature is very clever - a sign of approval from the little parrot.
Amid laughter, Xu Qingsong came over and called for dinner, and Pengpeng followed behind him.
Liu Wangxue asked him, "Have you fed the three?"
Xu Qingsong shook his head: "Not yet, feed now?"
"Feed him first." Liu Wangxue said.
Xu Qingsong touched Pengpeng's head and said, "Prepare the bowls, it's time to eat." Then he naturally went to the cupboard to get food for three people.
When Xiaoci and Guagua saw their eldest brother holding the bowl, they immediately followed him to get their own bowls, and squatted in a row at the door waiting for their meals.
Xu Qingsong poured them out one by one, then squatted down with Liu Wangxue.
Liu Nanshan dragged the open box to the corner and stared at the three people eating at the door with a suspicious look on his face. As a father, his intuition was always accurate. However, he didn't say anything for the time being, walked around the two people and went to the kitchen, deciding to observe first.
All the dishes were served in the kitchen. Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong came over together, still followed by the other three.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat." Gu Xuelan said to them, pulled out a chair and sat next to Liu Nanshan.
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong talked to each other, washed their hands together, and came to sit opposite their parents.
During this time, Liu Nanshan's eyes were always on the two of them. Gu Xuelan saw it clearly from the side. She laughed secretly for a while and patted Liu Nanshan's arm.
Gu Xuelan picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Come, let's eat. We couldn't spend the last Mid-Autumn Festival together. This time, the family is finally together."
Liu Wangxue recommended the plate of sliced sausage to Xu Qingsong: "Try it now. It's our family's secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. I guarantee you'll fall in love with it after one bite."
Xu Qingsong picked up a piece.
Liu Wangxue watched him finish eating and asked expectantly, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Xu Qingsong nodded: "It is indeed a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. It is truly the best I have ever tasted!"
Liu Wangxue was very happy. He picked up a piece for himself and ate it with rice, squinting his eyes with happiness.
The interaction between the two of them was as if no one was around - not really, because Liu Wangxue had a clear path forward with Gu Xuelan, and Gu Xuelan also supported her, so it was natural for her to get along with Xu Qingsong like this when they were at home.
Even though Liu Nanshan was back, Liu Wangxue didn't pay much attention to it. She thought that since her mother and father talked about everything, they must have said it. And her father didn't mention anything when he called her, so he should have the same attitude as her mother.
But Gu Xuelan didn't say anything.
Liu Nanshan turned to look at Xuelan and asked with his eyes: "What's going on over there?"
Gu Xuelan signaled him to be patient and talk after dinner, and said to Liu Wangxue: "Don't just eat that. Although it is homemade, it is also pickled. Too much is not healthy. Eat some vegetables. These are all made by Qingsong. Try his cooking skills."
