Chapter 319: As a mother-in-law, she still has to serve her
Gu Qingshi carefully prepared gifts for visiting the patient, including fruits and dishes that were good for physical recovery, all of which were ready, and also added two bottles of spiritual spring water.
In addition, they also gave me some medicinal herbs grown in the space that are good for bones, and picked out the best ginseng.
Because there was so much preparation, in the end there were a lot of things in big and small bags, showing their sincerity. Lu Yuan helped carry most of them, and there was still a lot left.
Ignoring the commotion made by Lu Ziting, the housekeeper of the house hurried to take the things in the hands of Lu Yuan and Gu Qingshi, and took them to other places as before.
In the end, Lu Yuan didn't give it to him. "Many of these can be eaten and drunk directly. Just leave the others with Grandpa."
These are things that cannot be bought with money, and must not be confused with other items. I must take good care of what Qingshi brought for grandpa, as well as Qingshi’s delicious dishes and cooking skills, to ensure that grandpa will have an unforgettable meal.
After Gu Qingshi sat down and greeted him, Lu Yuan couldn't wait to share what he brought with Grandpa Lu, "Grandpa, look, these are all your favorite fruits. I also brought you water, and there are dishes that Qingshi made for you. I didn't persuade you to eat more at noon because I guessed that Qingshi would bring some. You are in for a treat."
"These are all good herbs for bones. Ask your doctor and start taking them. This way you can recover as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you Qingshi for your concern." Mr. Lu was surprised to see this side of Lu Yuan and thanked him with a smile.
"Grandpa, don't take my words as a polite gesture. I promise there is nothing better than this. Qing Shi also gave you ginseng. The ginseng I bought before is not even one ten-thousandth as good as this one she gave you."
As Lu Yuan was speaking, Zhuo Yao came back with tea. When she saw that the guest was Gu Qing, she didn't want to move at all. But when she was looked at by Mr. Lu, even though she was angry and depressed, she was still reluctant to serve tea to the guest herself.
Seeing Gu Qingshi sitting in the living room and asking her, his mother-in-law, to serve him tea, she was already very upset. After hearing Lu Yuan's praise, she felt that Lu Yuan was really unreasonable. Even if she wanted to give face to Gu Qingshi, the praise was too much.
Look at the things Gu Qingshi brought, none of them is presentable. Other people would buy some supplements or something, but Gu Qingshi just took these and didn't even mention the dishes he cooked himself. He was so petty.
"I know you're happy, but one in ten thousand is too exaggerated." Zhuo Yao replied jokingly, not wanting to hear Lu Yuan continue to talk about shame. At this time, Grandpa Lu happened to hear Lu Yuan's praise and curiously opened the box of ginseng.
The better ginseng from other people’s homes is packed in a box that looks very good, maybe even a jade box. Gu Qingshi’s is just an ordinary wooden box, which looks inconspicuous at all.
Zhuo Yao was disappointed after taking a look at it, but when the wooden box was opened, she was stunned just like Mr. Lu.
The box is ordinary, but the ginseng inside is not ordinary at all. It is better than those ginsengs that are praised as being two hundred or three hundred years old. Looking at the ginseng, it seems as if it will become a spirit and speak in the next second.
Zhuo Yao screamed in surprise. She had been quite knowledgeable in the Lu family over the years and had seen a lot of good things. It was impossible to know a lot about ginseng, but she could still tell whether it was good or not.
Gu Qingshi's ginseng is not just good, it is too good. Where did she get it?
Naturally, he could tell who Mr. Lu was and closed the box with a snap. "This gift is too valuable. I just broke my leg. I don't need such a good ginseng. Qingshi, take it back."
Looking at this ordinary box, who would have thought that it would contain ginseng of such inestimable price. Even he couldn't help but feel a little greedy when he saw the ginseng.
Lu Yuan was also a little surprised, because this ginseng was better than the one Gu Qingshi had sold before.
"Just keep it. Just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future. It's my token of my love for you." Gu Qingshi loves Lu Yuan so much that he wants to give the best to Grandpa Lu.
Apart from anything else, this ginseng can really save lives.
Zhuo Yao glanced at Gu Qingshi with a strange look in her eyes. She had just said that Gu Qingshi was not presentable, but Gu Qingshi showed her such ginseng, which was a slap in her face.
Looking at the ordinary box again, I was even more speechless. For such a good thing, others would want to take out a gold box or a jade box, but she just took such an ordinary wooden box. What if she gave it away without telling anyone in advance?
It's simply a gift from tyranny.
Gu Qingshi didn’t know what Zhuo Yao was thinking. In fact, he added the box because he thought it would look good as a gift. Otherwise, Gu Qingshi would have simply wrapped it in a plastic bag.
Grandpa Lu looked at the ginseng, then at the others, knowing that they were not simple medicinal herbs. He hesitated for a moment, and Lu Yuan hurriedly said, "Grandpa, just keep it. It's Qingshi's gift."
Qing Shi knew that he was concerned about his grandfather's health, so he sent him so many good things.
"Then I'll accept it shamelessly." Mr. Lu also prepared a gift for Gu Qingshi, but now he wants to change it or add some more things.
"Grandpa, while it's still hot, eat the food that Qing Shi made for you."
"Then I'll try it." Mr. Lu agreed and glanced at Zhuo Yao.
Zhuo Yao turned around and went to get the bowl and chopsticks herself, but she was absent-minded, "I don't know where she came from."
Lu Ziting didn't go in, fearing that she would be pissed to death, but she heard the noise. Seeing Zhuo Yao like this, she followed her and said unconvincedly, "It's just ginseng, what's so great about it, Mom, if you like it I can buy it for you. Even if she can afford something good, it's probably bought by her brother to save her face."
Lu Ziting waited for Zhuo Yao to agree, but Zhuo Yao shook her head without even thinking, "No, no, that kind of ginseng is hard to come by, you can't buy it with money."
Lu Qi had investigated Gu Qingshi's background very clearly, but now she was surprised. Could there be some secret power behind Gu Qingshi that she didn't know about?
Zhuo Yao went back with the dishes and chopsticks. Lu Yuan had already opened the lunch box. The food looked delicious, but the chef they hired was not bad either, so he looked away indifferently.
Mr. Lu has a poor appetite. She has racked her brains these past two days and even invited a famous chef to cook for him, but Mr. Lu still can't get his appetite up. The food cooked by Gu Qingshi looks delicious, but it's hard to change it.
Gu Qingshi was smart, and wanted to please the old man by this trick, but it was useless.
Zhuo Yao was just thinking about it when she saw Mr. Lu's eyes light up after taking a bite. Then he lowered his head and quickened his pace, eating one piece of food after another with chopsticks. He originally put the food into the bowl, but later he became impatient and directly lifted the lunch box to eat.
He ate non-stop, and Lu Yuan didn't seem surprised at all, "Grandpa, eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."
Zhuo Yao was stunned beside him: What's going on? Is this dish really that delicious?
