Chapter 48 That Man is Too Cold
With the director's words, Lin Siqiao felt relieved and bought a bunch of things that day.
Pure cotton sheets and quilt covers, pots and pans, toiletries... Lin Siqiao bought them all.
These things are available on the platform, but things that are visible are always necessary.
Especially since she is still renting a house, she will inevitably have interactions with the Lu family in the future.
Speaking of the Lu family, Lin Siqiao suddenly remembered.
She has been working non-stop these days and has never been able to visit Grandma Lu's house as she had planned.
I have to find some time to visit Grandma Lu. This is the rule that the younger generation should follow.
Lin Siqiao heard from Yun Shu that Grandma Lu liked to eat butterfly cakes and cream squares, but Grandpa Lu didn't have any other hobbies, he just liked to play chess.
Lin Siqiao prepared snacks for Grandma Lu according to their preferences, and prepared chess pieces made of green sandalwood for Grandpa Lu. It would be perfect if he could bring some fruits with him when he went.
When Director Zhong saw that she bought so much, he didn't say anything and just asked the driver Xiao Wang to drive the things back to her.
Lin Siqiao didn't go out the whole afternoon. She stayed at home washing and drying clothes, tidying up the house, and also learned how to ride a bike.
At night, lying on a quilt with a faint scent of soapberry, Lin Siqiao felt sleepy and slowly fell asleep.
…
The days passed slowly, and the day before school started, Lin Siqiao went to visit the Lu family with carefully selected gifts.
"You kid, I asked you to come over for a meal, why did you buy anything?"
"If you do this again next time, I will be angry!"
Grandma Lu was just saying that she couldn't get angry at Lin Siqiao's well-behaved face.
As soon as he finished saying these harsh words, he pulled Lin Siqiao inside.
"Old man, come down quickly."
"Si Qiao is here."
As soon as he entered the living room, Lin Siqiao ran into Lu's mother who was walking out of the kitchen.
Although Mother Lu is over 40 years old, her face and figure are well maintained. Time has hardly left many traces on her face, and she looks particularly young.
While Lin Siqiao was looking at Lu's mother, Lu's mother was also looking back at her.
During this period, my daughter and mother-in-law often mentioned this girl at home.
Now that I have seen it, I have truly proven the old saying: seeing is believing!
This child's temperament doesn't seem like he came from a small place like Ancheng.
In her opinion, even girls raised in wealthy families in Beijing may not have the elegance and calmness between the brows of this girl.
When Lu Yunshu heard the voice, he immediately put down the spatula in his hand, took the arms of Lu's mother and grandfather, and started to introduce them.
"Si Qiao, this is my mother."
"This is my grandfather."
Lin Siqiao smiled and nodded, putting the things he brought aside.
"Aunt Lu, Grandpa Lu, hello, I'm Lin Siqiao."
"Okay, okay, come in and sit down. Dinner will be served soon."
Mother Lu drove her daughter out of the kitchen, "Yun Shu, go out and greet them."
"I know."
Lu Yunshu washed his hands, lifted up Lu's mother's apron and wiped them perfunctorily.
Mother Lu almost couldn't control her expression. She raised her hand and then put it down silently.
I don’t know who this kid takes after!
It was Lin Siqiao's first time visiting a guest, and she adhered to the idea that the guest should follow the host's wishes, so she did not take the initiative to roll up her sleeves to help in the kitchen, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.
After greeting Mother Lu, Lin Siqiao and Lu Yunshu went to the living room together and chatted with Grandpa and Grandma Lu for a while.
Grandpa Lu loved the chess set given by Lin Siqiao so much that he immediately placed it on the table.
"Yunshu, take Siqiao to have a look and get to know the way."
Grandma Lu was afraid that the chess loser in the family would lose his temper, so she quickly asked her granddaughter to take him away.
Otherwise, we don’t know when we can have this meal.
After hearing this, Lu Yunshu immediately pulled Lin Siqiao upstairs, reminding her in a low voice.
"After dinner, if my grandfather asks you if you know how to play chess, just say you can't!"
"Don't ask why, just say no!!"
Lin Siqiao smiled. Sure enough, all grandfathers in the world are the same. She still remembered that every time she went to her grandfather's house, her grandfather would always ask her to play chess with him.
My grandfather is getting old, and his reaction is not as good as before. He often has to think for a long time before placing a chess piece.
Occasionally he would act like a child and regret his moves very often.
Lin Siqiao at that time was just like Yun Shu now, always avoiding playing chess with various reasons.
It was not until his grandfather passed away that Lin Siqiao finally realized it.
It seemed that she would never have the chance to play chess with her grandfather again in her life, let alone hear his nagging day after day.
Noticing the loneliness on Lin Siqiao's face, Lu Yunshu squeezed her palm.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay. I really like playing chess."
Lu Yunshu always felt as if he had heard these words somewhere before. Why did they sound so familiar?
I thought about it for a while but had no idea, so I stopped thinking about it.
Lu Yunshu took Lin Siqiao to visit each room one by one. This house was obviously much larger than the one on Changle Road, with four rooms upstairs and downstairs.
After looking around enough, Lu Yunshu opened one of the doors.
"Come in, this is my room."
The room is not very big, but it is decorated very warmly, and there is a piano in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
There are very few people who can afford a piano these days, let alone a foreign brand.
There are family photos in glass frames on the walls of the room, on the bedside tables, and even on the piano.
“This is my dad.”
Lu Yunshu pointed at the elegant man wearing gold-rimmed glasses in the photo.
"My dad was supposed to come over for dinner today, but he had something urgent to do at work, so he can't come."
"The man next to him is my brother."
"My brother is a soldier. They are very busy in the army."
"The last time he came back was last year. I don't know if he will be able to come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival next month."
Following the direction of Lu Yunshu's finger, a face with clear contours appeared in sight.
The man had three-dimensional brow bones, a high nose bridge, and eyes that revealed a sharpness like an eagle.
"Your brother looks like you." They look even more alike than the average boy-girl twins.
But Lu Yunshu is obviously more approachable.
The man's aura was so cold that it would be difficult for ordinary people to open up to him.
