After packing up their things, they left the guesthouse together and walked towards the state-owned hotel.
"Ruoli, what do you want to eat?" Lu Jin asked. After spending these few days together, she liked Su Ruoli more and more.
"Auntie, I can handle anything. I'm not picky about food." Su Ruoli said.
"How about we have braised pork, braised fish, and spicy chicken?" Before they even arrived at the state-owned restaurant, the two had already started discussing what dishes to order.
"Eating all meat, wouldn't it be a bit too greasy?" Su Ruoli's mouth twitched.
Qiao Yunrong thought about it for a moment and nodded seriously, as if he agreed. "Then how about we have some smashed cucumber and shredded potatoes? And soup, mushroom soup."
"Now we have both meat and vegetables, a nutritional balance." Hmm, so the decision was made happily.
"The portions of food in the state-owned restaurant are quite generous. I'm just worried we won't be able to finish them." Su Ruoli said.
(Qiao Yunrong is Lu's mother, Lu's father is Lu Huasheng, Lu's grandmother is Wang Yongmei, and Lu's grandfather is Lu Haoran.)
"Don't worry, they may have eaten it all and they will definitely finish it." Lu's mother said and pointed at Lu Chen and Lu Huasheng.
Soon, the group arrived at the state-owned restaurant. It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was crowded and bustling.
"Mom, take Xiao Li'er and grandpa and grandma to find a place to sit. I'll order the food." Lu Chen said.
"No, we agreed to treat you." said Lu's mother.
"My dad is here, just let him pay." Lu Chen said.
"That's right. Ruoli, let's go sit down and let them order the food." After saying that, he pulled Su Ruoli and followed Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu to find a seat.
Then she remembered that she hadn't told them what to do if they ordered the wrong dishes for her. She turned to Lu Chen and said, "Just order the dishes that Ruoli and I talked about on the way. Don't order the wrong ones for me."
"I understand. I'll remember it." Lu Chen said.
There were no seats available, so they waited for a while before someone finished their meal and they quickly sat down.
The state-owned restaurant here is not big, with only four tables, so it becomes very crowded at mealtime.
The waiter came over and started clearing the table with a lot of banging and banging. It must be because there were too many people and he was exhausted.
Su Ruoli took a look and saw that there was only one waitress. She was the one who took the order, cleared the table, and helped in the kitchen.
No wonder he's so angry.
But she didn't care and just cleaned the table.
After a while of waiting, the dishes were finally served. The table was full and looked delicious, mouth-watering.
"Everyone, let's eat." Mother Lu called out to everyone. Lu Chen, Lu Huasheng and the others picked up their chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
Su Ruoli also picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. It tasted delicious and left a lasting aftertaste.
"Hmm, delicious." Su Ruoli praised softly, with a hint of satisfaction in her voice.
"Yeah, I think it's delicious too." Mother Lu responded with a smile, and at the same time did not forget to pick up some dishes for Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu.
Her movements were graceful and natural, as if all the warmth and harmony in this family were condensed in this moment.
Grandma Lu, who was sitting next to them, also said, "Achen, please give Ruoli more food. Look how thin she is. She should eat more." Her tone was full of concern.
Hearing this, Lu Achen nodded quickly.
He picked up the chopsticks, carefully picked up a piece of spicy chicken and placed it in Su Ruoli's bowl. He looked at her gently and said, "Ruoli, try this spicy chicken. It looks delicious."
Su Ruoli smiled slightly and said, "You should eat quickly, I can get it myself, but you can't eat this spicy chicken."
"I understand!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
The whole dining table was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere, and the family happily shared this sumptuous meal.
After dinner, several people returned to the guesthouse to look for something. Lu Chen asked them to wait for a moment, and turned and left without saying what he was going to do.
Su Ruoli looked at Lu Chen's back. How could this person not feel pain? He walked just like a normal person. You couldn't tell he was a patient.
Su Ruoli also went up to help take down all the things, and Lu Huasheng went to check out.
Su Ruoli asked the front desk for her own things, carried them out of the guesthouse, and stood at the door of the guesthouse waiting with a pile of things in front of them.
After a while, Lu Chen came back.
"Let's wait a moment. I just asked Zhang Hao to borrow a car from the army, and he will take you to the station later." Lu Chen said.
"You little brat, if we go there by ourselves, we will not only trouble others but also take up troop resources." Lu Haoran said.
"They are here to take something away anyway, so giving you a ride is just a matter of convenience." As Lu Chen was speaking, he saw a green military vehicle driving over.
“Here I come!”
Zhang Hao jumped out of the car, greeted everyone one by one, opened the trunk, helped stuff the things on the ground in, and then sat back in the driver's seat.
After everyone got in the car, Lu Chen opened the passenger door and got in.
The car was driving steadily on the street, and Su Ruoli looked at the scenery outside through the window.
She was filled with emotions, like the surging waves, constantly beating against the other side of her soul.
This meeting made her deeply feel the warmth and enthusiasm of the Lu family.
That feeling is like the warm sunshine in spring, gently falling on the body, bringing endless warmth; it is also like the breeze in a summer night, gently blowing across the face, bringing bursts of coolness.
"Xiao Li, come to Jing City when you have time next time. Auntie will take you to eat delicious food." Mother Lu said kindly.
"Okay, Auntie, there will be a chance in the future!" Su Ruoli responded with a smile.
"By the way, Ruoli, do you have any relatives or friends in Jing City?" Grandma Lu asked with concern.
"No more!" Su Ruoli answered truthfully.
Alas! Grandma Lu sighed, "We will be your family from now on. If you have any difficulties, just tell Achen, don't be polite." Grandma Lu instructed.
Su Ruoli nodded, feeling warm in her heart. At this moment, the car slowly stopped and arrived at the train station.
"Boss, we're here." Zhang Hao said.
After they got out of the car and took down their belongings, Lu Chen said to Zhang Hao, "That's enough. You can go back now."
"Boss, aren't you going back?" Zhang Hao asked. He was still thinking about waiting for Lu Chen to go together.
"Why should I go back? I have a month's vacation now." Lu Chen said proudly.
Before Zhang Hao could speak, Lu Chen pushed him into the car. Zhang Hao didn't dare to resist, fearing that he would hurt Lu Chen again, so he just went along with the push of his luck and got in.
"Okay, okay, stop talking and let's go." Lu Chen said.
"Hey hey hey! You..." Before he could finish the rest of his words, Lu Chen slammed the car door shut.
Zhang Hao could only roll down the car window, say hello to a few people, and then drive away.
