Lu Hai was caught by Gu's father and felt a little embarrassed and started to make amends.
"Uncle, I've been driving for a long time and I'm a little tired, so I'm going to stretch my body, hehe."
Seeing that Lu Hai was a little embarrassed, Father Gu didn't say anything and took Lu Hai out to eat.
When Lu Hai came out, the dishes were already served. Seeing the wine glasses on the table, Lu Hai quickly took out Moutai from his bag and filled them up.
Lu Jiang and Lu Hai accompanied Gu's father and the deputy factory director for a drink.
Seeing that Gu's father was very satisfied with Lu Hai, the deputy factory director joked.
"Old Gu, people say that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him. So, you, the father-in-law, are quite satisfied with him too."
Father Gu saw Lu Hai's expectant look and answered.
"Yes, Ranran's mother and I are both very satisfied. The main thing is that Ranran likes it. As long as the two of them like each other and live happily, that's all that matters.
Lu Hai, Lu Jiang, Tian Tian, don't be so reserved. Just help yourself to whatever dishes you like. You've all worked hard driving, so eat more."
After Mr. Gu finished speaking, Mrs. Gu quickly picked up some food for Zhang Tiantian, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai.
"Eat more, everyone. Don't be shy. We're a family from now on, so don't be polite."
Zhang Tiantian couldn't help but praise the delicious dishes while eating them.
"Auntie, you should eat soon. Don't pick up food for us. We can do it ourselves. Auntie is a great cook. Her food is delicious. No wonder Ranran's food is delicious too. It turns out she learned it from Auntie."
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she was very happy and started to talk about how to cook.
"Tiantian, Auntie's cooking is really delicious. Everyone who has eaten my cooking praises me. When it comes to cooking, the most important thing is the heat..."
Gu Zili saw that Gu's mother picked up food for Lu Hai, Lu Jiang and Zhang Tiantian, but not for Gu Ranran, so he hurried to pick up food for Gu Ranran.
"Sister, eat quickly. I'll give you lots of food so you can eat your fill."
Gu Ranran also picked up some food for Gu Zili and touched his head.
"Brother, you should eat more too. Now is the time for you to grow up. Eat more and grow up quickly."
Gu Zili was eating happily, and Gu's father asked Gu Ranran.
"Ran Ran, Lu Hai is already 22 years old, and you will be 20 soon. When do you plan to get married? Your mother and I respect you both."
Gu Ranran couldn't tell her brother directly that the wedding date had been set, so she could only apologize to her brother in her heart.
"Dad, it's too early for Lu Hai and me. My brother hasn't gotten married yet. Why don't we wait for him to get married first?"
When Mother Gu heard this, she became nervous.
"Ran Ran, you can't follow your brother's example. He's already 27 and still not married. I think since you're 20, you should get married right away.
From your brother's experience, the older you get, the less you want to get married. If you can get married, get married quickly and don't delay."
Gu Ranran saw that she had finally succeeded and gave Zhang Tiantian a look.
"Auntie, Ranran and I have the same birthday. Lu Jiang and I got married on my birthday, and Ranran also wanted to get married on the same day as me.
But Ranran said that she still had to ask you first, fearing that you wouldn't agree to get married so early."
Zhang's mother calculated the date and agreed.
"Sure, that's a good date. It's still about three months away, so there's plenty of time to prepare. Plus, both of your birthdays are on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. We're both on holiday now, so it'll be easy for me to come and join you for your banquet."
When Lu Hai heard that Gu's mother agreed, he became excited again.
"Auntie, uncle, we've built a big yard in the village and reserved rooms for you. Come to our banquet and come back after the New Year. You can also go to our brigade and play for a while, then come back after you go to work."
Gu Zili was very excited when he heard that they were going to play.
"Brother Lu Hai, my sister said you can hunt. Can you take me to the mountains to hunt when the time comes?"
Seeing Gu Zili's expectant eyes, Lu Hai quickly agreed.
"Sure, Zili, the mountains are so much fun. I'll take you there when the time comes. Your sister also likes to go there. I'll take you to hunt rabbits and pheasants, and then roast the pheasant and rabbit meat for you to eat in the mountains.
If you like raising rabbits, I can catch a few and bring them back for you. I'll make you a basket and you can carry the rabbits back."
Gu Zili had never raised a rabbit before, so he was very happy at the thought of being able to do so. He ran straight to Lu Hai and asked him some questions while eating.
Father Gu looked at the happy Gu Zili and expressed his opinion.
"Ran Ran, I think it's a good idea to get married on your birthday. The date is good, and we have time to go. Your brother hasn't been home for the New Year in several years. Who knows, he might come back this year. When that happens, I'm afraid you won't be able to attend your wedding banquet."
Gu Ranran thought to herself, why don’t you come back for the New Year? Or bring your wife and children back for the New Year. I will definitely give you a big surprise then.
"Dad, I called my brother, and he said he should be able to come back for the New Year this year."
Father Gu nodded and happily drank with the deputy director, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai.
After dinner, Lu Hai quickly cleaned up the dishes, and Lu Jiang also helped, but Gu's mother quickly stopped him.
"Lu Hai, Lu Jiang, we don't need your help. You're tired from driving. Let Ran Ran take you to rest. Auntie will clean up."
Lu Haibian said as he cleaned up the dishes.
"Auntie, don't worry. My brother and I can do it, and we can clean it up quickly. And I'm a good cook too. I'll help you with dinner."
Mother Gu looked at Lu Hai and his nimble hands and feet and could only give orders from the side.
Lu Jiang and Lu Hai cleared the dishes and started washing them.
Gu Ranran took Zhang Tiantian to her room for a nap, and also prepared Lu Jiang and Lu Hai's rooms.
After taking the train for a day and a night, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai, Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran were all tired and fell asleep quickly.
When Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran woke up, they found Lu Jiang and Lu Hai cooking in the kitchen with Gu's mother.
Gu's mother's voice could still be heard from the kitchen, and Zhang Tiantian said to Gu Ranran.
"Lu Hai is quite amazing. He was so nervous this morning, but now he has made Auntie so happy."
Gu Ranran thought about Lu Hai's nervous look at breakfast and laughed.
"Yeah, I was worried about him, but now it seems that I was just being overly concerned."
By dinner time, Mother Gu was still very happy.
"Hurry up and eat, these dishes are all made by Lu Hai. They are delicious, I have already tasted them."
Father Gu took a bite and couldn't help but praise it.
"Lu Hai, your cooking skills are quite good. Your aunt's cooking skills are comparable. Your aunt likes to cook, so you two will have something to talk about."
"Uncle, eat more. I'll cook for you when I have the chance next time."
Lu Hai picked up some food for Gu's father and then for Gu's mother, and then they chatted while eating. The warm atmosphere did not end until they finished eating.
