Chapter 272: Becoming a godparent
Everyone was surprised. They didn’t expect such a fate.
It was too late to do anything now. Su Mo and Lu Xiaolan went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for Commander Xu.
Lele, the little smart guy, quickly said a few nice words to make Commander Xu laugh. Then he took out the chocolate that he had treasured for a long time and didn’t want to eat it, and gave it to Commander Xu as a birthday gift.
It was just that Guangzhou was very hot in July, and they lived in a cement-roofed bungalow. The temperature in the house was still quite high during the day, and the chocolate had melted a little.
Xiao Li watched Lele stuff the black and sticky unknown object into the commander’s mouth with a twitch in his mouth, and it was too late to stop him.
This seemed to be a bad idea. Don’t upset the leader’s stomach.
Commander Xu ate it without changing his expression.
"Grandpa Xu, is it delicious? This is called chocolate. It was given to my mother by an aunt from abroad. Lele has kept it for a long time and couldn't bear to eat it."
"Yeah, it's delicious." Commander Xu agreed that it was delicious, but he was actually complaining in his heart.
This popular thing abroad is very bitter and tastes weird. I don't know why those foreigners like it so much. Anyway, he really can't eat it.
Commander Xu chewed it quickly and swallowed it.
This chocolate was brought by a foreign businessman to thank Su Mo. Su Mo helped her choose a batch of embroidery handicrafts at the autumn trade fair last year, and she made a lot of money when she returned home.
I learned from the previous chat that Su Mo has two children. When I came to participate in the spring trade fair, I specially brought two boxes of top-quality chocolate to Su Mo.
Su Mo brought it back and gave it to the two little ones. After eating it, Lele liked it very much. Su Mo told her that it was from abroad and could not be bought in China, so she treasured it. She was really greedy and only ate one.
An An saw that this thing was black and almost like a waste of low-grade elixir. After eating one, it was bitter and astringent, so she gave the whole box to Lele immediately.
Lele got another box, and was not stingy. She gave one to each of the adults and hid the rest.
Although this box of chocolate looks big, most of it is packaging. There are only twelve chocolates inside. No matter how thrifty Lele ate, after two or three months, there were not many left.
An An did not give anything as a gift, but performed a set of boxing for Commander Xu. It was the same set she had demonstrated before, but it was more than one level higher than before.
Apparently, the learning during this period was very effective.
Commander Xu gave her a feeling a bit like her previous master. The old man also had a stern face all day long. He seemed stern, but he was actually very kind to her and her senior brothers.
As a master, there is nothing more joyful than seeing his apprentices make progress.
Indeed, after seeing An An's progress, Commander Xu was satisfied and said it was good.
Because the two children were still too young, Commander Xu taught the children the basics, focusing on cultivating the children's perseverance and martial arts sense.
He was very satisfied with An An's progress.
He had different requirements for An An and Lele.
An An was his promising successor, so the requirements would be stricter.
Lele was just a companion to study, so the requirements for him were not that high. In addition, Lele was sweet-mouthed, so he spoiled her more.
He had a serious face, and usually children would stay away from him. It was rare that a child was not afraid of him and would come close to him. He also enjoyed the joy of playing with his grandchildren.
After eating the longevity noodles, Commander Xu prepared to go back. Before leaving, he said to Lu Changzheng and Su Mo: "I don't have any grandchildren either. These two little guys are especially dear to me. Let them call me grandpa in the future."
Raising two little ones and becoming godparents have completely different meanings. One may only be a capable subordinate in the future, while the other is a relative.
The couple immediately asked the two children to change their words, and Commander Xu agreed happily.
He was not a person who stuck to formalities. If he changed his words, he would be considered as a relative. In the future, he only needs to let some news out that these two little guys are his grandsons that Xu Gang has chosen.
Not long after Commander Xu left, the news that he went to Lu Changzheng's house for dinner spread throughout the family compound.
He is the top leader of the military region. It is difficult to meet him at ordinary times. He actually went to his house for dinner. I am afraid that Lu Changzheng will be in big trouble in the future.
Many people are jealous and envious. Why don't they have a child who can win the favor of the leader?
Lu Changzheng is really lucky. He can be honored by his son.
In fact, those people are overthinking. Commander Xu is not a person who would give a green light to others just because he likes their children. On the contrary, he will be more strict with Lu Changzheng in the future.
After Commander Xu left, Lele held his box of chocolates and looked at it again and again, feeling very embarrassed. Finally, he opened it reluctantly, took out two chocolates, and handed them to Su Tingqian and Mo Yurong.
"Grandpa and grandma, you have some too. Lele is not partial."
The old couple were happy. This clever little boy knew how to treat everyone equally.
Seeing Lele being so clever, Su Yiyuan teased him: "Lele, what about your second uncle? Your second uncle has never eaten chocolate either."
Lele quickly held the box tightly, staring at Su Yiyuan with a vigilant look, "Second uncle, you are so old, do you still want to snatch food from children?"
Su Yiyuan was very happy, and he pulled Lele over, "You kid, your second uncle loves you in vain. How many good things did your second uncle buy for you? But you can't even get a piece of candy."
Lele's face wrinkled, and finally he opened the box with a pain in his heart and took one out to give to Su Yiyuan.
"Really no more, Lele only has two left."
After giving it away, there was only one left in the box.
Su Yiyuan laughed and gave the chocolate back to Lele, "Since you only have two left, just keep them for now. When you have new ones in the future, you can give them to your uncle."
Lele pushed the chocolate back to Su Yiyuan, "Give it to me now. Mom said that this chocolate can only be sold in foreign countries. What if that aunt doesn't give it to you next time, then it will be gone."
"Then are you willing to give it to me?"
Lele looked like a little adult and patted Su Yiyuan's arm, "What can I do if I don't want to? Second uncle has never eaten chocolate. As a nephew, I have to give in to my uncle."
Mo Yurong burst into laughter and handed her and Su Tingqian's chocolate to Lele, "Lele, grandpa and grandma have eaten it before, Lele will keep this for later."
"Are you really not going to eat it?" Lele asked with his head tilted. "I
really don't want to eat it."
Lele quickly took the chocolate and put it in the box, "You don't want to eat it, it's not that Lele is partial."
Then he closed the box and said to Su Yiyuan, "Second uncle, you should eat it quickly. It's really pitiful for an adult like you to have never eaten chocolate."
After that, he ran away with the box in his arms.
Su Yiyuan was really angry and amused, but seeing that the chocolate was a little melted, he opened it and ate it. I will buy him another box when I exchange for overseas Chinese coupons in the future.
