Chapter 161: Getting Familiar
As the saying goes, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar, and Meng Chuyuan is not an introverted person.
Perhaps it was her warm greeting that caused Grandma Lu to smile kindly, a little more gentle than usual, and nodded kindly, "Okay."
Grandma Lu waved at her, and at the same time, with her other hand, pushed Lu Qianling aside to make room for Meng Chuyuan.
"Sit over a little and give your sister-in-law a seat."
Lu Qianling was driven away by her grandmother and had to move to another place, taking up Lu Jinsen's original seat and leaving the seat next to her grandmother vacant.
"..." Lu Jinsen was forced to stand up and walked to the single sofa next to him and sat down.
After seeing Lu Qianling passing by, Grandma Lu looked at Meng Chuyuan enthusiastically: "Come, sit here."
Meng Chuyuan walked straight over and sat naturally between Grandma and Lu Qianling.
Grandma Lu was visibly happy. After Meng Chuyuan sat down, her gentle gaze fell on Meng Chuyuan.
Before she and Lu Qianling came back, Lu Jinsen had already told his grandmother about the general situation, from the recording of the variety show to Lu Qianling's accommodation problem outside the school, and the incident of her going to school today.
"Grandma, I bought you a gift." Meng Chuyuan spoke first, breaking the silence.
When Grandma Lu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she asked curiously, "What gift?"
"Here they are." Lu Qianling took all the gift boxes and bags on the table and couldn't wait to hand the gift boxes in the bags to her grandmother. "Grandma, I bought a gift for you too."
Grandma Lu received the big red jewelry box and opened it with great joy. Inside, she saw a jade bracelet that was lustrous, smooth to the touch, and a little cool.
Grandma Lu took the bracelet out of the box and put it on her wrist. It was not only the right size but also made her look whiter.
"Grandma, here's another one." Lu Qianling handed her grandmother another jewelry box and added, "Meng Xiaomei bought a pair and a cute rabbit."
Seeing that her grandmother had no hands free, Lu Qianling enthusiastically took the initiative to open the remaining two boxes for her and placed them one by one on the coffee table.
"Child, why did you buy so much?" Grandma Lu raised her head and looked at Meng Chuyuan in surprise.
Meng Chuyuan said nonchalantly with a faint smile in his eyes, "I bought one for Mom as well."
She had never given a gift to her mother-in-law before. When she saw several beautiful bracelets, Meng Chuyuan chose two bracelets of relatively good quality.
Mother Lu had just returned from a phone call with her husband who was abroad. When she appeared in the living room and heard that she had a gift, she walked over with a smile on her face.
"There are mine too?" Mother Lu lowered her eyes and took a look. One of the two bracelets was darker in color, almost full green, and the other was lighter in color.
Meng Chuyuan stood up and took out the light jade bracelet on the table. Then she walked towards Lu's mother and said, "Mom, this bracelet suits you very well. It makes you look very elegant when you wear it."
"I'll put it on you." Meng Chuyuan pulled up her left hand and slowly put the bracelet on her.
She gently squeezed Mother Lu's hand without applying much force, so the bracelet didn't hurt much when she put it on, and it fit easily on her wrist.
Mother Lu raised her hand and looked at the jade bracelet she had just put on. Under the light, she turned her wrist, her eyes filled with joy: "It looks good."
Grandma Lu: "I want to wear it too."
"I'll help you." Meng Chuyuan returned to Grandma Lu again, held her slightly rough hand, and carefully pushed the bracelet in.
After putting it on, Mother Lu came over and took a photo with Grandma Lu. She put the hands wearing the jade bracelets together and found a suitable angle to take several photos.
Mother Lu chose a photo she liked and sent it to her husband: [This bracelet was given by my eldest daughter-in-law. It looks nice, doesn’t it? My mom has one too.]
Not long after, Lu's father sent her a message: [It looks good. If you like it, I will buy it for you next time.]
Mother Lu: [Don’t buy any more, I’ll just wear this one]
This one bracelet is enough for her; another one would be a bit redundant.
Mother Lu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She also shared a group of photos with Lu Qingye: [The jade bracelet that Xiao Meng gave me, your grandmother and I both have one. Isn't it very beautiful? ]
Lu Qingye had just arrived at the company and was about to attend a morning meeting. When he saw the message sent by Lu's mother, his eyes were fixed on the message and he couldn't help but frowned.
Xiao Meng?
Is this... getting to know each other?
Perhaps because he hadn't replied for a while, Mother Lu suddenly remembered that she had sent Lu Qingye a scarf today, so she said to him: "By the way, I sent you the scarf that Xiao Mengzhi made. Remember to sign for it."
Before Lu Qingye had finished digesting the previous piece of news, another piece of news came that surprised him even more.
Did Meng Chuyuan knit a scarf for him?
Why would you think of knitting a scarf for him out of the blue?
Could it be that her mother said something to her?
…
"Grandma, you haven't seen my gift yet."
Not long after Grandma Lu put on the bracelet, she was busy admiring it on her wrist and ignored the other things on the table. Uncle Yuan had just prepared the dishes and called them to the restaurant for dinner.
When Lu Qianling saw her grandmother getting up and about to eat, she felt a little aggrieved for being ignored.
She pulled her grandmother's sleeve and handed the massager to her, "I bought this for her."
Grandma Lu happily took it and replied softly: "Okay, I'll read it after dinner."
"Grandma, why are you like this? You have an expensive bracelet on, so you don't appreciate my gift?"
Seeing her grandmother put the massager on the sofa without even taking it off, Lu Qianling was dumbfounded.
If it were in the past, even if Lu Qianling bought an insignificant little item for her grandmother, she would be praised by her grandmother for a long time.
Compared with today's situation, Lu Qianling felt a little lost.
She finally bought a moderately expensive item for her grandmother, but her grandmother's reaction was so indifferent.
Seeing that she had no sense of propriety, Mother Lu couldn't help but say, "Silly girl, eating is more important, don't you understand? Grandma has come here with great difficulty, and she must be tired from the car ride, okay?"
Lu Qianling touched her nose a little embarrassedly, reached out to hold her grandmother's arm, and walked with her, "Grandma, let's eat first. I bought a massager, you can use it anytime."
Given grandma's physical condition, gifts are nothing. Lu Qianling naturally considers grandma first.
Grandma Lu slowly came to the restaurant, took the main seat, and ate with everyone.
Meng Chuyuan happened to be sitting next to Grandma Lu, quite close to her, and took the initiative to pick up some food for her.
There was never a moment when Grandma Lu's bowl was short of vegetables, because Lu's mother and Meng Chuyuan would put some in her bowl from time to time.
Halfway through the meal, Grandma Lu suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "Did Ah Ye never come back from that trip?"
