After they sat down, the eldest son of the Lei family served tea to Su Ruowan and the others.
In front of Su Ruowan was a cup of jasmine tea. Su Ruowan frequently went in and out of Fushouju and was very familiar with Mr. Lei. All the old people in Fushouju who were close to her knew what kind of tea she liked to drink.
Mr. Lei’s eldest daughter-in-law also likes to drink jasmine tea. There is always some at home, and the varieties are excellent.
"This is Jasmine Maojian tea, a specialty of Fuqing City. Try it." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lei family introduced Su Ruowan. Fuqing is where her mother's family is. Whenever guests come to her house, she generously shares the good things from her mother's family with the guests.
"Thank you, Auntie." Su Ruowan nodded, picked up the teacup, pursed her lips and took a sip, "It's delicious, mellow, really good tea."
"Hahaha, as long as you like it." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lei family laughed heartily. She liked to hear nice words and compliments, even if they were lies.
Old Master Lei simply introduced his family members to Su Ruowan. Since Huo Shengnian couldn't see, he didn't take her to Huo Shengnian alone.
Mr. Lei had three sons in his life.
Two of my sons are with me, and my youngest son is abroad.
This manor belongs to the three of them, father and son. The two daughters-in-law are also very filial, and the grandchildren are all promising, whether they are working hard outside or staying at home to help.
With the whole family together, Mr. Lei actually doesn't have to live in Fushou. After all, Fushou is a nursing home, and there are people at home who can take care of him. However, the old man is willing to live in a nursing home.
He said that being with a bunch of old men and women gave him something to talk about, and that he could accept the generation gap between himself and his children and grandchildren when he stayed at home. It would be nice to come back and get together with everyone during the holidays.
Normally, I still have to feel comfortable with people of my age.
Gradually, his children and grandchildren accepted this matter, and every weekend, someone took turns to go to Fushouju to accompany the old man.
This is also good.
Time passed quickly. I got to know the members of the Lei family and listened to the old man talk about the development history of their Lei Manor. More than an hour passed and it was time for dinner.
The old man's eldest grandson came over and said, "Grandpa, it's time to eat. Please invite all the guests to the dining room."
"Okay, Lao Liu, Wanwan, Shengnian, let's go and have dinner." The old man greeted them.
"Um."
Little Guoguo has been staying with his great-grandmother. The great-grandmother and grandson haven't seen each other for a while, and the old lady misses the little guy very much.
Little Guoguo was also very self-aware. He knew that his great-grandmother was old, so he walked by himself all the way and would not let his great-grandmother hold him.
Their family, plus Feng Yu and Ling Yue, occupied most of the table. Grandpa Lei brought his two sons and the eldest grandson who had just called them to dinner to accompany them.
When arranging the seats, the two old people sat in the upper seats, and to the right of the old lady sat Xiao Guoguo, and then Su Ruowan. The reason why Xiao Guoguo was arranged between the two of them was to make it easier to take care of him.
After all, Huo Shengnian is blind, and you can't let a blind man take care of a child.
Su Ruowan was sandwiched between Xiao Guoguo and Huo Shengnian, which made it convenient for her to take care of both of them.
Mr. Lei's two sons sat on his left, and his eldest grandson sat in the third position. Soon, the women of the Lei family brought in the fruit wine stored in the cellar.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lei family, who had just introduced Fuqing tea to Su Ruowan, came over and said, "Xiao Su, this cherry wine is for you and the old lady. The old lady said it was delicious yesterday."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Su Ruowan stood up and took it with both hands.
"This is blueberry wine for your man. Blueberries are good for the eyes, and blueberry wine shouldn't hurt them either." The woman's voice was rough, and she addressed Huo Shengnian as 'your man'.
This address made Su Ruowan's face suddenly flush. She shyly accepted it and thanked others on behalf of Huo Shengnian, "Thank you."
Huo Shengnian was also a little uncomfortable, but his reaction was better than Su Ruowan's. Nothing could be seen on his face, but his red earlobes still betrayed him.
"Thank you." Huo Shengnian turned around and thanked him. Just as he reached out to take the crutch, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lei family started to persuade him:
"No need to stand up, Xiao Huo, we don't have so many rules in our family."
"Okay, Auntie." Huo Shengnian sat down again.
Feng Yu and Ling Yue took the initiative to take a bottle of white wine and shared it. They were not really interested in fruit wine.
"Okay, then everyone, take your time eating and don't be polite." After the wine was distributed, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lei family left and went to another table.
This table is taken care of by the old man's eldest grandson.
Shortly after the meal started, the two sons of the host family came over with the men of the Lei family and toasted Su Ruowan and Huo Shengnian with a glass of wine, welcoming them to Leijia Village.
Su Ruowan is a woman, and Huo Shengnian is blind. Mr. Lei had already told the family before they came, so they naturally would not let Huo Shengnian drink all the time.
The Lei family actually has no habit of urging others to drink.
However, as a courtesy, this first glass of wine should be offered to the guests who have come from afar.
After the toast, Su Ruowan, led by the old lady, toasted the host in return and also went to the table of female relatives to toast as well.
Su Ruowan did more detailed research on Leijia Village last night. In fact, she had done relevant research on the geographical environment of Leijia Village before, but at that time she didn't know that Leijia Village was related to Grandpa Lei.
Now that she knew, and she happened to be invited to visit Leijia Village, Su Ruowan naturally had to seize every opportunity she could.
The old man’s eldest grandson is called Lei Zheng. He is the village official of Leijia Village and the current assistant to the village chief.
His father also served as the village chief of Leijia Village, but he was just a successor. Now he is working in logistics in the village, waiting for retirement.
If Su Ruowan wanted to discuss specific details with the village chief, it would be better to find Lei Zheng than his father.
Lei Zheng was also a person who reacted very quickly. When Su Ruowan glanced at him, Lei Zheng filled his glass. When he was about to raise his glass to toast Su Ruowan, Su Ruowan stood up first and said, "Brother Lei, let me toast you."
"Okay, thank you Xiao Su." Su Ruowan was younger than him, so Lei Zheng thought it was more appropriate to call her Xiao Su.
"You're welcome. It's my duty. There are so many of us disturbing you."
"Our whole family is happy that you can come. Don't think you are disturbing us. You are not disturbing us at all."
“…”
As the two of them exchanged words, Huo Shengnian, who was sitting next to Su Ruowan, suddenly tightened his gaze, especially when Su Ruowan called him "Brother Lei" in a crisp voice, which made his ears numb.
The veins on the hand holding the chopsticks bulged and jumped involuntarily.
Su Ruowan, who was thinking about meeting the village chief tomorrow, completely ignored Huo Shengnian beside her at this moment and naturally did not notice his abnormal reaction.
The old lady noticed Huo Shengnian's abnormality.
No one knows a grandson better than his mother.
Oh--
Isn't this a bit hasty?
It’s good to know that it’s urgent, but I’m afraid that there will be no response.
She didn't want her grandson to follow in the footsteps of that little bastard Xie Qinghui...
