Chapter 276: I treat you as my brother - but you want to be my father?
He finally got it!
This is really cause for celebration.
Xia Huaishan felt very sad when he talked about this. Just now he thought Wen Chuji was the same as him, but then the other person took a turn and overtook him.
And what about him?
And you're still someone's brother!
But being a brother also requires you to do your job well!
Thinking of what his comrades said, Xia Huaishan instantly perked up. He turned around and looked at Lu Qingqing, who was roasting peanuts with her head down, with shining eyes. Lu Qingqing was so frightened that she trembled and the stick she was using to roast peanuts fell down.
"Brother Huai...Brother Huaishan, why...why are you looking at me like that?"
Xia Huaishan asked: "Qingqing, do you think Brother Huaishan treats you well?"
Lu Qingqing nodded, "Okay."
How could it be bad?
He sent her to school to register, and when she was harassed by that bastard, he and Lu Beiye went to school to pick her up for several weeks in a row.
Wen Chuji's eyebrows lit up with joy, "You are so good, Brother Huaishan loves you for real, and now Brother Huaishan has run into a problem and wants to ask for your help."
"Will you help me?"
"Help!"
"This is what I mean. Didn't my brother acknowledge your Uncle He as his godfather? We're going to have a simple family recognition party tomorrow night, and I'd like to ask you to help with the cooking." Xia Huaishan was laughing happily, as if tomorrow night was not a family recognition party, but his and He Rongrong's wedding banquet.
Just take whatever status you can, at least you can get close to her openly, right?
Lu Beiye was so angry that he laughed.
"You can't bear to call He Rongrong yourself, so you call my sister instead?"
"My sister is so easy to call?"
Wen Jiu also chimed in, "Yes! It's not easy to cook in such a cold weather. If you don't show me enough sincerity, it will be difficult for me to let my precious sister work for you."
Lu Qingqing looked at Xia Huaishan, then turned to look at her brother and sister-in-law. She didn't know how to answer so she just kept silent.
She was willing to help Xia Huaishan, and sincerely hoped that he and He Rongrong could have a result, but she could not separate Wen Jiu and Lu Beiye.
There's still time to talk about it later, let them satisfy their desire first.
Xia Huaishan was not ashamed either. After all, they both knew all about his little troubles.
He said openly, "Of course, how could I possibly treat my sister Qingqing badly? I will definitely blind your eyes tomorrow."
"Then I'll wait and see!"
Wen Jiu got up after saying this, went back to the room to get a pen and paper, and sat down. "Tell me! How many people have you invited tomorrow night, how many dishes are you going to cook, what's the process, and what do you need."
"sister in law--"
Xia Huaishan was deeply moved, "How can you be so nice!"
Lu Beiye said: "A sister-in-law is like a mother."
"Can you call mom?"
"Lu Beiye!"
Xia Huaishan roared angrily, and his eyes were full of anger when he looked at Lu Beiye. The sentimental atmosphere was completely destroyed in an instant.
"If there was something that could record, I really want to record your current posture, take it to the army and play it on repeat for three days, so that everyone can see how despicable the cold-faced Yan Wang is."
Wenjiu almost spit out laughter.
I treat you as a brother——
You want to be my father?
Lu Qingqing also wanted to laugh very much, but she was too embarrassed to laugh when she saw Xia Huaishan's red face. She tried to hold back her laughter and her face turned red, and her cheeks felt sore.
Lu Beiye's expression remained unchanged. He shrugged and said without any guilt, "What a pity!"
“These conditions are not met at the moment.”
Seeing Lu Beiye looking like he deserved a beating, Xia Huaishan really wanted to punch him twice, but thinking that he still had to rely on him for advice, he suppressed the surging impulse and put on a standard smile.
"You want me to call you daddy?"
"sure!"
"If you can help me fulfill my wish, I will not only call you dad but also toast to you!"
Lu Beiye was not fooled by this. He picked up some peanuts near the stove, peeled them, rubbed off the skin, and passed them to the hand that was warming the wine. Without even looking up, he replied, "I don't want them."
Xia Huaishan: “…”
Who asked him to call mom just now?
Don't you care about it anymore?
"Sister-in-law, let's go. We don't want to talk to such a fickle man," he snorted coldly, grabbed the arm that was warming the wine, and sat down at the dining table. The two of them discussed tomorrow's affairs.
He had been asking around these past few days and had learned a lot about the subject, so he did have some idea about it.
This made Wen Jiu quite satisfied. She saw how much Xia Huaishan valued this matter, and also how much he valued He Rongrong.
As a sister, who doesn’t want to see their best friend happy?
Lu Qingqing couldn't help being curious, so she walked up to Lu Beiye and asked in a low voice: "Brother, didn't sister-in-law say before that this matter all depends on Sister Rongrong's opinion? Why now..."
Looks like you want to help Brother Huaishan?
Lu Beiye said, "Don't ask so many questions, little kid. Your sister-in-law must have her reasons for doing things."
Lu Qingqing: “…” She is already 18 years old, and she might be a mother in the village.
Still a child?
never mind!
Just let the children be children!
In fact, Lu Beiye could guess the reason for Wenjiu's sudden change, but since she didn't tell him, he had no intention of asking, after all, it was a girl's private matter.
Wen Jiu talked with Xia Huaishan for half an hour and finally decided on tomorrow's plan. Seeing Xia Huaishan stand up and stretch, Lu Beiye said naturally, "Let's go cook!"
Xia Huaishan's yawn got stuck in his throat, and he almost choked himself to death, "Ahem, you want me to cook?"
He pointed at himself in disbelief.
Lu Qingqing quickly said, "I'll do it."
But at the glance from Lu Beiye, Lu Qingqing sat down and dared not speak.
"Then I'll do it?"
"You order my sister and my wife around, and you want me to cook for you?"
"What a big face!"
Xia Huaishan explained his mistake and raised his hands in surrender, "I did what I should do. What do you want to eat? Dear leader, please order the food."
He bent down and gestured for invitation.
Lu Beiye was satisfied. "Let's have some porridge! Mix it with some spinach and some shredded potatoes, and heat up some of the steamed buns from the morning."
"Qingqing made buns?"
When Xia Huaishan heard Lu Beiye's words, he immediately rushed to the kitchen as if he had taken stimulants, followed by a symphony of pots and pans.
Lu Qingqing said with a worried look on her face: "Brother, how about I go? What if Brother Huaishan makes a mess of our family's pot?"
Lu Beiye replied: "Change to a new one."
Lu Qingqing: “…”
Wen Jiu couldn't help laughing when he saw Lu Qingqing's speechless expression, "Don't worry, your Huaishan brother will have no problem with a simple meal, and you have to get used to the way they get along with each other."
She winked as she spoke, "Besides, isn't it nice to have a ready-made meal?"
"Don't always rush to do the work."
“You have to learn to find a balance for yourself.”
"It's good to be able to endure hardships and work hard, but don't always take everything on yourself. We all have limited energy, so share it with each other. If one person can't do anything, he will be exhausted to death."
Lu Qingqing is just too sensible. Every time she thinks about doing more, the people at home can breathe a sigh of relief, just like an animal.
Now that the conditions are good, Wenjiu hopes that she can change her habits appropriately.
She is getting older. If she still likes to take on all the work after she gets married and makes everyone in the family lazy, how will she live?
