Chapter 74 The Attitude of the Si Family



Si Xu drove the car and took the refreshed Lu Jiu home.

Lu Jiu kept pulling at her clothes along the way, but she was afraid that her clothes would be wrinkled and look unformal, so she hurriedly smoothed them out.

Lu Jiu kept making small movements, and her restless little hands were finally caught by a big hand.

"Don't be nervous, this is not the first time you have met."

Lu Jiu: "..."

It is indeed not the first time they have met, but the meaning of this meeting is completely different!

Lu Jiu said seriously: "I am not nervous, I will try my best to save your legs."

Si Xu was amused by him.

The car stopped at the gate of the villa, Si Xu got out of the car and opened the door for Lu Jiu.

Si Xu called the bodyguards and asked them to help lift the things in the car, and led Lu Jiu into the living room.

In her hand, Lu Jiu was holding a heavy sealed paper box. Si Xu asked what was inside, and Lu Jiu said it was kept secret for the time being.

He remembered this when he went home to take a shower, so he brought it with him.

They were sitting in a row on the sofas in the living room. They had been waiting for a long time.

This time, Lu Jiu did not wear a mask.

Song Mozhi had seen Lu Jiu several times, but this was the first time he saw Lu Jiu's face clearly. She was really good-looking, with a good personality and good craftsmanship.

Song Mozhi was worried that he was nervous, so he asked Lu Jiu to come and sit down.

Lu Jiu glanced at Si Xu, and Si Xu let go of her hand, "Go ahead."

Lu Jiu walked over, put the box in her hand next to the coffee table, and sat down next to Song Mozhi.

On the left of Jiujiu was Song Mozhi, and on the right was Grandma Si. The two of them held Jiujiu's hands affectionately and began the routine questioning.

"Good boy, tell grandma how Ah Xu pursued you?"

Jiujiu: "..."

Si Xu: "..."

Si Xu touched his neck, "Grandma, you don't need to tell me this, right?"

Grandma Si glared, "It's none of your business, don't say anything."

After saying that, she pushed Grandpa Si beside her, "Don't you have something to say to Ah Xu? Go and say it now."

Grandpa Si: "???"

Grandpa Song: "???"

Si Qinian: "...???"

Grandpa Si was the first to stand up, "Follow me upstairs."

Grandpa Song, Si Qinian and Si Xu had no choice but to follow Grandpa Si upstairs.

The atmosphere in the living room immediately relaxed.

Grandma Si patted Lu Jiu's hand soothingly, "Don't be nervous, let's just chat casually."

Lu Jiu: "..."

How can I not be nervous when you are like this?

Song Mozhi smiled and said, "Mom, you will scare Xiaojiu like this. Xiaojiu will definitely be nervous when she comes to visit for the first time."

Song Mozhi said gently, "We just want to know if you are willing to be with Axu. We are worried that he will force you."

Lu Jiu: "???"

Is there something wrong? Logically, shouldn't Si Xu's mother be more worried about Si Xu?

Lu Jiu said, "No, I am willing to be with him."

Song Mozhi and Grandma Si breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Lu Jiu: "..."

Is Si Xu's character so worrying?

Song Mozhi sighed, "Actually, I'm already prepared for Ah Xu to spend the rest of his life alone."

Rujiu: "..."

Rujiu: "..."

Rujiu: "..."

How could there be such a misunderstanding?

Song Mozhi continued: "From childhood to adulthood, there have been many girls who like Asu, but he seems to be born lacking that nerve and has no interest in girls. People outside speculate that Asu may not like girls, so he started to work hard on boys, but Asu didn't like them either."

"He's almost thirty years old and still doesn't have someone he likes. Is he really going to be alone for the rest of his life? Some time ago, he asked me to wrap a bouquet of roses for him. I thought he finally got it and knew how to give flowers to girls, but he said no, so I prepared a flower basket for him."

Lu Jiu: "..."

So that's how the rose basket came about.

Song Mozhi said worriedly, "As parents, we all hope that our children can have a smooth life. We also hope that Asu can find a girl and live a stable life. But he has no interest in girls, and we can't force him. That would make Asu miserable and hurt an innocent girl. We

thought at the time that if he really liked boys and found someone more reliable, we could accept it. But it has been delayed for so many years without a boy or a girl. We don't urge him because we don't want to put pressure on him, but we are actually very anxious. No matter if it's a boy or a girl, he has to have someone he likes, otherwise how lonely it would be to be alone?"

Rujiu: "..."

It turns out that the family's requirements for Si Xu are so low. No matter if it's a boy or a girl, as long as he doesn't grow old alone, it's fine.

Rujiu felt very complicated. She wondered if Si Xu knew about Mrs. Si's worries.

Song Mozhi smiled gently, "Don't worry, our family is very open-minded. As long as you really love each other, we will definitely not object, not to mention that we all like you very much. I also didn't expect that Ah Xu had such good taste. He either didn't open up or chose the best one."

Lu Jiu was embarrassed by Mrs. Si's praise.

Grandma Si said, "You are a good child. We can all rest assured that Ah Xu is with you."

Lu Jiu: "Thank you, Madam."

Grandma Si scolded, "Since you are in love with each other, why call me Madam? You should also follow Ah Xu and call me grandma."

Lu Jiu was nervous and uneasy, "Thank you... Grandma."

Grandma Si was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, "Okay, okay, this time it happened suddenly, grandma didn't prepare a red envelope, next time grandma will give you a big red envelope."

Lu Jiu smiled, "Thank you, grandma."

Grandma Si held Lu Jiu's hand and said with great joy, "When I went to your store that time, I told your grandfather that we just lacked a granddaughter. If we had a granddaughter, we would definitely match you up. But after many twists and turns, you finally came to our Si family."

Song Mozhi laughed, "It's good like this. From now on, Xiaojiu is a child of our Si family, and no one can bully you anymore."

Grandma Si responded, "Yes, no one can bully you. Your grandfather will make those bastards pay the price. Don't worry, you have made great contributions to the country, and the higher-ups will deal with this matter seriously."

Lu Jiu was very moved. Her heart seemed to be soaked in warm water and her whole body was warm.

The situations he worried about along the way did not occur. The Si family is well-educated. Although they regret that Si Xu did not choose a girl, they will respect Si Xu's choice. As long as Si Xu likes him, they will accept him.

The bodyguard at the door saw that their conversation had come to an end, and came in with a bucket and a storage box.

Grandma Si was surprised, "What are these?"

Lu Jiu stood up and dragged the bucket and storage box to the side of the sofa, "These are some seafood I brought from the store."

"Oh, such big shrimps!" Grandma Si was a little excited. She had never seen such big live shrimps.

"This fish is not small! Wow! With such big tentacles, how big should the whole fish be! This is quite dangerous, right?" Grandma Si asked Lu Jiu.

Jiu nodded, "It is indeed dangerous."

"Huh? What's in this bucket?" Grandma Si looked at a bucket curiously. There was only water in the bucket, and the water was still moving.

Jiu: "There are fish in it."

Grandma Si took a closer look. There was nothing in it except water.

Suddenly, with a "bang", the water in the bucket splashed out. Grandma Si was startled, and then laughed happily.

"Are there really fish in it?"

Lu Jiu was also happy. "There are really fish. This fish is called the invisible fish. Its real body color is very beautiful. As long as it is frightened or senses danger, its body will become invisible. The fish meat is very delicious and has high nutritional value. It can greatly improve the body's immunity, destroy the activity of cancer cells, and promote the accelerated apoptosis of tumor cells."

Song Mozhi and Grandma Si were stunned when they heard this.

Grandma Si hesitated and asked, "...Is it effective?"

Lu Jiu said, "It should be very good. I have a friend who has cancer. After the operation, she originally planned to have chemotherapy. She took invisible fish several times. The results of the physical examination were very good, and she did not have chemotherapy. The doctor let her go home. She is healthy now, does not take medicine or abstain from food, and has recovered very well."

Grandma Si said anxiously, "Then, then..."

Since Song Mozhi was present, Grandma Si did not say it.

Previously, Grandpa Song was so angry that he said that Si Xu's life was saved by Lu Jiu. Song Mozhi asked what happened to Si Xu. The family only said that Si Xu had a problem with his stomach some time ago and vomited everything he ate. It was Lu Jiu who used delicious food to nourish him, and Song Mozhi believed it.

Lu Jiu knew what Grandma Si wanted to say, "We eat it often. Si Xu and I have eaten it many times."

"Okay, okay." Grandma Si nodded repeatedly.

Lu Jiu introduced them, "These two fish are silver fish."

They had heard of and eaten silver fish, but had never seen a living silver fish.

They all knew that silver fish were very expensive, and Lu Jiu brought two of them as soon as she arrived. There was also an invisible fish, which had such effects, so it must be more expensive.

Lu Jiu said, "This is the magic flower dragon. Eating more of it is very good for the elderly and the weak."

Lu Jiu paused, "The magic flower dragon is very fierce. You must be careful when handling it. It can break your wrist with a clamp... Otherwise, I'd better kill it for you."

Lu Jiu was not very confident about Grandma Si and Mrs. Si, fearing that they would get hurt.

Grandma Si quickly stopped him, "Don't kill them. These seafoods are too precious. You can't finish them even if you bring so much. Take them back later."

Rujiu said, "These are specially prepared for you. I have enough of these ingredients... Oh, and this."

Rujiu took the paper box next to the coffee table and opened it. There were six bottles of wine in the box.

Four bottles were blue and two bottles were pink.

Rujiu remembered that Grandpa Song and Grandpa Si liked to drink Huaqing fruit wine, while Grandma Si and Mrs. Si liked to drink Huahong fruit wine. Rujiu brought some here specially, one bottle for each person, and left the extra bottle for Si Xu.

"This? Is..."

"This? Is the fruit wine I brewed myself. Last time in the store, I saw that you liked to drink it, so I packed some and brought it over. One cup a day, it's good for your health." Lu Jiu handed two bottles of pink fruit wine to Grandma Si and Song Mozhi.

Both of them were very happy. They really liked this kind of fruit wine. It was fragrant and sweet. I think there should be no woman who doesn't like it.

"Good wine goes well with good food. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes." Grandma Si said and was about to get up.

Rujiu held her back, "Grandma, how about steaming a flower dragon? Silver fish, invisible fish and tentacles can all be eaten as sashimi, and they taste great."

Grandma Si was very happy, "Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it."

Rujiu stood up, "Let me do it, Auntie may not be able to handle such a big shrimp."

Grandma Si also stood up, "I'll help you, we'll prepare it together."

Rujiu and Grandma Si left, Song Mozhi didn't sit for long, and went to the kitchen with a cane to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Downstairs was full of joy, but upstairs was tense.

Si Qinian pointed at the table, "Now I just want to know, are you sincere, or are you influenced by his ability?"

Si Xu: "He won't use his ability to influence me."

Si Qinian slammed the table, "You say no, so you won't?!"

Grandpa Si glared, "Just speak nicely, did the table provoke you?"

Si Qinian: "..."

Grandpa Si looked at his only grandson, "Xu, tell me yourself, what's going on?"

Grandpa Si already knew about the existence of the "Special Security Department". Grandpa Song found out about it after Si Xu officially joined the "Special Security Department" and signed a confidentiality agreement according to the procedure.

Si Xu said helplessly: "Xiao Jiu's ability is a bit special, and it has a certain charm effect. Father always thinks that I am charmed, but in fact I am not. If he would take the initiative to charm me, I would be happy, and I wouldn't have to chase him for so long."

Si Qinian said dissatisfiedly: "You never said who you like before, and you like him so much in just a few months?"

Si Xu said, "It doesn't take months to meet the right person. I can recognize it as him at first sight." Si Qinian was furious, "Look, look at you, and you still say you are not affected!"

Si Xu asked back, "Dad, you keep asking me about this. Do you think I was affected, or is it because he is a boy?"

Si Qinian said angrily, "If you really love each other, I don't care whether he is a boy or a girl. I will be satisfied if you can find someone back. But are you?"

"Yes!" Si Xu answered affirmatively.

"Dad, if it wasn't for Xiaojiu this time, my mom wouldn't know what she would be going through now. If he wasn't sincere to me, why would he care who my mom is? Isn't his own safety important? Why would he risk his life to save others?"

"Look at me, it's all thanks to him that I can sit here healthy. Without him, I might be dead now."

"Look at my mom again, do you think my mom recovered on her own? It was Xiaojiu who took out his own treasures to help my mom recover!"

"If he really influenced me as you said, what was his purpose in influencing me? Does he like me? There's no need to influence him. I like him very much, but after I confessed, he was still hesitating and didn't agree immediately!"

"Or do you think he is attracted by my family background? He doesn't know the identities of you and grandpa. If you insist, he only knows grandpa and Mo Hong Group. Do you think he is a person who values ​​money? He doesn't love money, profit or power. You say he influences me, what does he want from me?"

The three people present were speechless after what Si Xu said.

It has always been Lu Jiu who has paid for their family. What can Lu Jiu want from their family?

Grandpa Song said: "I just want to ask one question, do you really want to be together? Have you made up your mind?"

Si Xu: "When we decided to be together, we were not prepared to separate again."

Grandpa Song: "Okay! In this case, I have nothing to say. You are all good children. I support your decision!" After

Grandpa Song finished speaking, he looked at Grandpa Si.

Grandpa Si said seriously, "You chose the path yourself. No matter how hard and difficult it is in the future, I hope you can stick to it and don't regret your decision today."

Si Xu: "I will never regret it!"

Si Qinian looked at his father and then at his father-in-law. It seemed that his opinion was no longer important.

Grandpa Si said, "Qinian, do you underestimate Xu? Even if there is an influence, it is Xu who influenced other people's children. Look at how old Xu is, and how old is the child? With Xu's brain, can he be influenced by others?"

Si Xu: "..."

Si Qinian looked at his son with a strange look in his eyes again, "Let me ask you, after you confessed and they didn't agree, what did you do afterwards?"

Si Xu: "..."

Si Xu: "...used a little strategy."

Si Qinian: "What strategy?"

Si Xu glanced at grandfather, alerting grandfather's cane to pull it back, "Just... deliberately ignore and alienate him, let him know how important I am..."

Grandpa really reached for the cane, Grandpa Si hurriedly held his old brother's hand, Si Xu had already run to the door.

Grandpa Song yelled at Si Qinian, "Look, you said that the other kid influenced him, but it was obviously him who used strategy to kill the other kid!"

Si Qinian: "..."

Si Qinian looked dazed. Fortunately, the person with this ability was Lu Jiu. If it was given to Si Xu, he would use it every minute and there would be no need for any strategy. What a fool.

Si Xu felt that he would be beaten if he stayed any longer. "I'll go see how they are talking."

Si Xu hurried downstairs. There was no one in the living room.

Si Xu was stunned for a moment. He heard a sound from the direction of the kitchen. He walked over and was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Lu Jiu was killing the magic brocade dragon in the kitchen, Grandma Si was killing fish nearby, and Song Mozhi was helping to pass the knife and basin.

Rujiu taught Grandma Si how to remove the bones better and how to slice thinner and more evenly. Rujiu would demonstrate from time to time, and Grandma Si and Song Mozhi followed suit with a very serious attitude.

Si Xu: “…”

The other three people who just came downstairs: “…”

While they were discussing who would influence whom upstairs, the people downstairs had already fully accepted the new family member.

The laughter of Grandma Si and Song Mozhi could be heard from the kitchen from time to time. The three people outside the kitchen looked at each other and laughed helplessly.

Before Song Mozhi got into trouble, she would occasionally go to the kitchen. She liked to cook for the old man's son. Since the accident, she has never set foot in the kitchen again.

Looking at his wife like this, Si Qinian was filled with emotion.

Grandma Si and Song Mozhi really like Lu Jiu, and they can't pretend to like that.

At this moment, Si Qinian no longer has any worries. What could be more important than a harmonious family and a happy wife and children?

The kitchen didn't have a steamer that big, so Lu Jiu separated the head and tail of the magic flower dragon and only steamed the shrimp tail, pouring out the shrimp roe to make steamed eggs.

The shrimp shanks were roasted and eaten, and made into pepper and salt flavor. The two large claws were put in the refrigerator. Auntie was taught how to steam them and how long to steam them for the most tender meat. Auntie took careful notes and waited to make them for the lady later.

Grandma Si could help with the silver fish, but she couldn't with the invisible fish.

Lu Jiu put the shrimp tails and steamed eggs on the pot and asked Auntie to watch while she dealt with the invisible fish.

Several people were staring at it intently. It was as if Rujiu was grabbing a ball of air, and the knife was cutting and slicing in the air. It was very interesting.

Rujiu processed half of the invisible fish and placed the fish meat on the plate, which was like an empty plate.

In order to verify that there was something on it, Grandma Si poked it with chopsticks. The touch was real, and there was indeed something, but it was invisible.

Rujiu, wearing an apron with a strawberry pattern, came out with a large plate of invisible fish meat. She saw Si Xu standing outside the kitchen, looking at him with a very gentle look.

Si Xu walked over, took the plate from his hand, and put it on the dining table.

"Thank you for your hard work, baby." Si Xu took the man over and kissed him on the top of his head.

Lu Jiu hurriedly stepped back, nervously looked at the living room and kitchen, and seeing that they didn't seem to see it, he glared at Si Xu with a warning look.

Si Xu smiled, he loved Lu Jiu's nervous and calm look.

Suddenly, a cough came from the living room.

Rujiu looked nervously and guiltily. It was Grandpa Song who was coughing. They were studying the fruit wine seriously.

In the kitchen, Grandma Si was holding a plate of silver fish. She took two steps and then stepped back.

"What..."

"Hush!"

Song Mozhi was about to speak when he was stopped by Grandma Si, who pointed to the restaurant.

Song Mozhi stretched his head to see that his son was very close to Rujiu, almost sticking to her, smiling with a doting look. Rujiu's little face was red, and she stared at her son with a very harmless look. Song Mozhi

smiled and shook his head. He was still worried about whether the two children were serious before, but now he has seen with his own eyes how they get along with each other. They have all been through it, so what is there not to understand?

They are just worrying about nothing.

The shrimp tails were steamed quickly, and Jiu went to the kitchen to get busy.

Grandma Si came out with a plate and lowered her voice to teach her grandson, "Don't bully Xiaojiu."

Si Xu laughed, "Okay."

Grandma Si glanced at the kitchen, secretly took out a bank card and stuffed it into her grandson, "Xiaojiu brought so many things, it's too expensive. I'm afraid he won't want the card. Go and withdraw all the money and give it to him. The password is your birthday."

Si Xu teased her deliberately, "Grandma, how much money is in this card?"

Grandma Si pretended to hit her. He said, "This is the wedding money that grandpa and grandma prepared for you. It's enough for you to buy a villa in the best location in city A."

Si Xu pretended to be surprised, "Such a lot of money, did you take out all your retirement savings?"

Grandma Si smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandpa and grandma still have money, enough for us to spend."

Si Xu put away the card, "Then I'll thank grandpa and grandma on his behalf."

They all had money, and Si Xu had even less, so he accepted grandpa and grandma's kindness.

The shrimp tail meat was cut into small pieces that were easy to eat, and a whole large plate was placed. The sauce was prepared, and it was time to eat.

The dinner was very rich. In addition to the home-cooked dishes, the most eye-catching one was the seafood.

Grandpa Song and Grandpa Si each carried a bottle of wine and sat down.

Si Qinian had never drunk this kind of wine, so he also brought a bottle over. The two fathers were praising the wine so much that he wanted to try it too.

Si Qinian thought that they would drink one bottle each, but the two fathers just held the bottle and had no intention of opening it.

Si Qinian was a little confused.

Grandpa Song said, "Qinian, you open a bottle."

Si Qinian: "???"

He opened his own wine with a puzzled look on his face.

Grandpa Song and Grandpa Si pushed the wine glasses in front of Si Qinian at the same time, "Come on, fill it up."

Si Qinian filled the glass.

The two old men brought it back, clinked their glasses, took a sip, and were very happy.

Si Qinian also poured himself a glass and drank half of it in one gulp, and then he was surprised.

He looked at the wine bottle in his hand, then at the wine bottles in the hands of the two fathers, and decisively placed the bottle in front of Si Xu, then stood up and took the only remaining bottle of wine from the coffee table, holding it tightly in his hand.

Si Xu: "..."

Si Qinian drank the fruit wine in the glass in one gulp, and pushed the empty glass in front of Si Xu, "Come on, fill it up."

Si Xu: "..."

Si Xu looked at them, each of them had a bottle of wine, even grandma and mom had one, and their bottles were all full, only this bottle was opened...

Si Xu suddenly understood.

They were reluctant to drink his own wine, were they planning to get his wine?

Grandma Si and Song Mozhi also pushed their glasses over, "Today is a good day, come on, fill them up, and let's taste this fruit wine."

Si Xu: "..."

Si Xu looked at Lu Jiu beside him, revealing a sense of bewilderment after being stripped.

Lu Jiu also saw through their little thoughts, but tried not to laugh, and patted Si Xu's legs under the table.

It doesn't matter, just refill it after you finish drinking.

With the support of his wife, Si Xu was not stingy and filled their glasses.

The Si family's wine glasses are smaller than those in the Magic Fish Shop, so it's no problem to drink two glasses.

Si Xu said: "This kind of Huaqing fruit wine has stronger energy than Huahong fruit wine. Each person can only drink one cup a day, and can't drink more, otherwise there will be problems. Grandpa, grandpa, don't be greedy, one cup a day is enough."

Si Qinian knew the importance of energy wine without Si Xu saying much.

He was curious why the "Special Security Department" could only buy Huahong fruit wine but not Huaqing fruit wine?

Si Xu seemed to see his father's thoughts, "If the funds are sufficient, it is not impossible to buy Huaqing fruit wine."

Si Qinian: "..."

I understand, this Huaqing fruit wine must be more expensive than Huahong fruit wine.

Si Xu felt relieved, and the father and son dug a hole to bury each other.

A happy dinner, all the seafood was eaten, but there were quite a few home-cooked dishes left.

After eating so much energy seafood and drinking energy fruit wine, they were all full of energy and felt refreshed.

This is the magic of energy ingredients.

It was already late, and Grandpa Song and Grandma were going back.

Lu Jiu packed a tied Magic Golden Flower Dragon for each of them, gave each of the little blue magic tentacles a piece, and left the rest for Song Mozhi to replenish his body. Lu Jiu

said that if they wanted to eat seafood from the Magic Fish Shop, they could call him and he would have someone deliver it to them.

Before leaving, Grandpa Song gave Lu Jiu a car key, "Xiao Jiu doesn't seem to have a car yet. Grandpa has a lot of cars at home. This one was just bought not long ago and is left for Xiao Jiu to travel."

Lu Jiu: "..."

Looking at the car key, Lu Jiu didn't dare to take it.

Si Xu said, "This is a gift from Grandpa, take it."

Only then did

Lu Jiu take the car key, "Thank you, Grandpa." Grandpa Song was very happy, "You're welcome, I hope you two kids are fine."

After seeing off the three old men, Lu Jiu was going back.

Before leaving, Song Mozhi also gave Lu Jiu a set of keys, which were the keys to a villa in a prosperous area. They had already bought it, but they had never given it away.

This was a kind gift from Si Xu's parents, and Lu Jiu accepted it.

They all drank, and Song Mozhi asked the family driver to take Lu Jiu home.

Si Xu followed the car to take Lu Jiu home, and in the car he took out the card given by his grandmother, and asked Lu Jiu if he wanted to withdraw the money.

Lu Jiu did not let him take it out. Lu Jiu was not short of money now, so why would he take so much money from his grandparents? He asked Si Xu to return it.

It was still impossible to return it. Si Xu kept it for Lu Jiu first, and Lu Jiu would take it out when she needed money.
