On the way back, she said directly: "Lu...Brother Lu, they hired me, thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found such a good job, let me treat you to a meal."
She wanted to call his name, but she really didn't want to. As the saying goes, one should be grateful to the person who gave him the favor and be grateful to him for the favor.
I owe someone such a big favor, so it seems inappropriate to call him by his full name.
But she just couldn't bring herself to say the three words "Brother Lu".
So after much thought, she compromised and decided that calling him Brother Lu was the most appropriate, as it was neither awkward nor overly intimate.
Lu Zhoushan smiled, and seeing her gentle expression, he readily agreed, "Tuo."
The girl finally changed her tune and stopped calling him by his name. Just call him Brother Lu, but don't call him Uncle anymore, it's irritating.
The two went to the state-owned restaurant they had been to before to have dinner. It was almost dinner time and there were not many people in the restaurant.
The two found a quiet place, sat down and ordered food. Lu Zhoushan considerately handed the menu to Jiang Xiaoci, indicating that she should order first.
"Is there anything you particularly want to eat?" Jiang Xiaoci asked.
Lu Zhoushan picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea himself and placed it in front of her, saying casually, "I'm fine with anything, just watch out."
He is indeed not very picky about food. He used to be busy with work and just ate whatever he wanted. He was not very particular about the taste.
Jiang Xiaoci looked at the menu and was a little disappointed when he heard what he said. He thought that since he was treating them, his preferences must be the first priority. How could he decide for himself?
Just as she was thinking, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Hey, I remember this squirrel mandarin fish dish from last time. It seemed to taste pretty good. Let's have one of these."
She remembered that she hadn't eaten much fish the last time they had dinner, but she had eaten most of Lu Zhoushan's dish. After ordering the squirrel fish, Jiang Xiaoci ordered two other dishes, both of which were lighter in flavor.
I also ordered a dish of mushroom and shredded chicken soup, which is delicious and nutritious, and is most suitable for people with weaker bodies.
The waiter quickly wrote it down with a pen. After Jiang Xiaoci finished ordering, he asked Lu Zhoushan, "That's all. Is there anything else you want to eat?"
Lu Zhoushan was already looking at her with a smile, his eyes gentle and tender, "That's all, you won't be able to finish any more."
He has always preferred a light diet, and most of the dishes she ordered were based on his taste.
Lu Zhoushan really felt that she was considerate. She remembered his preferences when they were just together. Although she was not very old, she always thought about him.
Lu Zhoushan couldn't help but wonder if he had acted too much before, causing everyone to think that he was ill and needed someone to take care of him, so Jiang Xiaoci took such good care of him.
As I thought about it, I felt both happy and a sweet burden.
I really don't know if she will be angry at him for deliberately misleading her if she knows her true situation in the future.
The dishes were almost served, steaming hot and emitting an enticing aroma.
Jiang Xiaoci took the initiative to serve him a bowl of shredded chicken soup, placed it in front of him and said, "Brother Lu, you should eat more. Thank you so much."
Lu Zhoushan took the bowl of soup, laughed and shook his head: "You call me Brother Lu, and you are still so polite."
Jiang Xiaoci was rarely playful. She blinked her eyes and said, "Of course. You are my navigator on the road of life. Without you, I wouldn't have found such a good job. I should be polite to you."
