Seeing his grandson come in, Lu Rongde slurped up his noodles and asked, "You're awake?"
"Hmm, this noodle smells delicious. Did you buy it from outside?"
"No, this was made by Xuanxuan. It's scallion oil noodles, and it's especially delicious."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shengye looked at Jiang Xuan. She was amazing! Not only could she study, but she could also sew clothes and cook.
Jiang Xuan put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth. "Are you hungry? I'll go cook you some noodles."
"It's okay, you eat first, and I'll cook more after you finish."
Lu Rongde also said, "That's right, you eat first. Can't a grown man stand a little hunger?"
Lu Shengye protested, "Grandpa, I am your own grandson."
Lu Rongde refused to back down, saying, "Xuanxuan is my own granddaughter."
Lu Pei'an, who was lying on a straw mat in the side room, turned over in frustration.
Over the years, many people have come to Lu Shengye seeking a marriage match, including some who know him well and even those who are powerful and influential.
But that brat never took it seriously.
A few days ago, the matchmaker Wang Yingqiu asked was going to introduce Lu Shengye to the daughter of the factory director. The girl was a college student, but he dismissed her with a simple "I'm not interested."
The matchmaker was Wang Yingqiu's distant aunt. She genuinely wanted to bring them together and even planned to arrange a meeting between them.
She always felt that the girl was pretty and a college student, and that Shengye might fall for her at first sight.
People don't mind that he has two children in his family; they just like him for who he is. But this guy is completely unyielding.
Now……
Lu Pei'an was so angry that he turned over again.
*
Jiang Xuan doesn't eat much, and she finished her noodles quickly.
She went to the kitchen to cook noodles for Lu Shengye.
Lu Xiaomei also came to help.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Little sister, why don't you go and chat with Grandpa and the others for a while? Just cook a bowl of noodles, you don't need to help with anything."
"It's alright, Grandpa and my brother are talking about serious matters, I'll just watch you cook from here."
Lu Sheng was tall and strong, and Lu Xiaomei also said that her brother liked to eat noodles.
I made two bowls of ginger and scallion sauce.
She had already set aside a portion of the cucumber salad, and after mixing the noodles, the two of them took it over together.
In the main house.
Lu Rongde sipped his noodle soup before getting down to business, "Xiao Ye, what did Xuanxuan's family say?"
"They said there are no such rules, and we should just choose an auspicious day."
As Jiang Xuan and the others entered the house, Lu Rongde happened to say, "Alright, go back to the military region this afternoon to draft the application report, and mention the house matter while you're at it."
"good."
Lu Xiaomei placed the noodles in front of her brother, her face full of surprise: "Brother, are you moving out?"
Lu Rongde: "Where else would they live if they didn't move, with their family of four?"
Lu Xiaomei felt as if her spirit had been drained.
The relationships between people are truly wondrous.
Some people meet every day and communicate constantly, yet they can never truly connect with each other. Their relationship may appear warm on the surface, but they are actually distant and indifferent at heart.
Some people, even after just one meeting and a few words of greeting, seem to find a resonance of souls.
She had only known Jiang Xuan for an hour, but she felt like they were old friends who had known each other for many years.
She couldn't bear to be separated from her.
Jiang Xuan comforted him, "Your brother said that even if we get a house, it will be in our family compound or the big courtyard next door. We can still see each other often."
"But I want to see you every day."
Lu Shengye looked at his sister strangely.
Lu Xiaomei is aloof and doesn't make friends.
Although she and Lu Tingting had been together for four or five years, they were still no different from strangers under the same roof.
She and Jiang Xuan had only just met, yet they seemed like they were already very close.
But his wife is so beautiful, it's normal for people to like her.
He couldn't help but steal a glance at Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Sure, it's summer vacation now, right? Come visit me whenever you have time."
Lu Pei'an couldn't stay in the side room any longer.
He walked in with a stern face and said, "Little sister, don't run around during this holiday. Stay with Tingting and catch up on your studies."
Lu Xiaomei raised her hand, "No way, not only will I not be able to catch up on my studies, but I'll also drag others down in their college entrance exams. I can't bear that responsibility."
Hearing her daughter's sarcastic remarks, Lu Pei'an angrily said, "What kind of talk is that?"
Lu Xiaomei sneered: "After all, you made me move out and live with Dian Dian Fan Xing, just because you were afraid I would interfere with her college entrance exams, right?"
Lu Shengye: "The pillow talk is really powerful."
Lu Pei'an's face darkened. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"What nonsense is my brother talking about? It's as clear as a bald man's lice!"
Although Lu Rongde didn't particularly like his granddaughter, he still clearly distinguished between those he was close to and those he was distant from.
He snorted coldly, his voice booming, "My little sister lives in her own room."
The meaning of these words is quite clear: Lu Tingting is an outsider.
Lu Pei'an said, "Dad, the main problem is that Tingting stays up very late reading at night, and my younger sister doesn't read. It's really not appropriate for them to live together."
"When did you become so concerned about your daughter?"
“Dad, I don’t like hearing you say that. I’ve always cared about her. Ask her what study materials I haven’t bought for her, and which parent-teacher conference I haven’t attended. It’s her own fault for not studying hard and bringing shame to the Lu family.”
"You have no idea how low her score was this time. She only got a little over 100 points. If she could get into university with that, even dogs wouldn't eat shit. If I didn't care about her, I wouldn't have suggested that Tingting tutor her."
Lu Rongde waved his hand, "No need to say anything more. I'll say it again, my little sister will stay in her room."
Lu Xiaomei stood up abruptly, "I don't need Lu Tingting to tutor me."
Lu Pei'an was so angry that he pointed his finger at Lu Xiaomei and finally managed to say, "Rotten wood."
Then he turned and left.
Lu Shengye: "Little sister, although I'm angry, I still hope you can take your studies seriously. It's related to your future. You don't want to be idle after graduation, do you?"
"The job opportunities for college students and high school students are completely different. Even if they work in the same factory, the benefits are worlds apart."
"Brother, who said I don't care? I've decided to start studying hard now."
Lu Shengye was both surprised and delighted: "You've really figured it out?"
“Of course.” Lu Xiaomei pulled Jiang Xuan’s arm. “I’ll ask Sister Xuanxuan to tutor me. Just wait and see, I’ll definitely catch up.”
Lu Rongde nodded: "It's great that you think that way. The other day, when your sister Xuanxuan was talking about art with Fanxing, I felt that she was a thoughtful girl. You should learn from her."
Jiang Xuan said shyly, "Grandpa, you flatter me."
The tenderness in Lu Shengye's eyes as he looked at Jiang Xuan was almost overflowing.
This girl is truly a blessing to the Lu family.
He had only just arrived when his sister seemed to have become a completely different person, her personality changed drastically.
