The next day, Zhiyuan went to Qingtian's house to pay New Year's greetings first. Qingtian's family naturally gave a warm welcome to their future son-in-law. After having a sumptuous lunch at Qingtian's house, Zhiyuan took Qingtian back to his own home and had barbecue in the evening.
There are a lot of things to prepare for a barbecue. Zhiyuan originally planned to come early and do the preparations in the afternoon. As a result, when he got home, he found that the whole family was sitting at home eating fruit and chatting. The TV was on, playing the Spring Festival Gala as background music.
Oh, no, to be exact, it was his parents and Wu Ruiheng sitting together. His mom was chatting with Wu Ruiheng, his dad had a blank expression on his face, and Zhangzhu was nowhere to be found.
Zhiyuan found it funny.
I'm afraid Zhangzhu has gone out to play with her friends on the island again. As for Wu Ruiheng, let alone going out to play with Zhangzhu, he can't even say a word to her.
"Mom, let's have a barbecue tonight, right? I'll go prepare everything. Qingtian will sit here and chat with you guys." Zhiyuan started working as soon as he spoke.
Wu Ruiheng smiled and said, "Brother, everything is ready."
Zhiyuan: ???
Lin Qingping was speechless and winked at Zhiyuan.
Well, it seems that it was all done by Wu Ruiheng.
Zhiyuan suppressed his laughter and said, "Wu Ruiheng, you are quite capable!"
Wu Ruiheng chuckled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, I will continue to work hard."
Zhiyuan: ...
Because of her family, Qingtian has been sensible since she was young and has been in charge of the household early on. When she saw this situation, she thought that Wu Ruiheng was so hardworking, so should she also help with some work?
Seeing Lin Qingping get up and go to the kitchen, she quickly stood up and wanted to follow her in to help do something.
But Lin Qingping asked her to sit down and didn't need her help. "I'm just going to wash some more fruit."
"Auntie Lin, I'm going!" Wu Ruiheng went happily.
"Wu Ruiheng, come with me to do something." Gu Juncheng suddenly stood up.
"Okay, Uncle Gu." Wu Ruiheng's expression showed that he loved working with Uncle Gu the most...
Qingtian felt a little uncomfortable sitting there, and asked Zhiyuan in a low voice, "Compared with Comrade Wu Ruiheng, do I look a little bad?"
"That's not true!" Zhiyuan said hurriedly, "Wu Ruiheng deserves it! He came to my father's door to do his bidding! If he wants to pursue the palm pearl, how can I not show him some power? Is it so easy to be someone's son-in-law? You can't just give in easily! Not to mention my father, even I want to teach this kid a lesson..."
Zhiyuan was so busy talking that he didn't notice Qingtian's eyes.
It was not until he noticed Qingtian's expression changed that he realized what he had said. His voice gradually became smaller and smaller, and finally he stopped talking, "No, Qingtian, that's not what I meant. Wu Ruiheng and I are different..."
Qingtian snorted, "Do you want to go back and tell my brother so I can teach you a lesson?"
"No, I..."
"Don't let go so easily!"
"Stop... Sunny! Sunny!"
Qingtian turned around and went into the kitchen to help Lin Qingping serve the fruit. Zhiyuan called her several times from behind but she ignored him.
Lin Qingping was just carrying some fruit out. Seeing this, she pointed at Zhiyuan and said, "You deserve it!"
Gu Juncheng and Wu Ruiheng came back an hour later, bringing back quite a few boards and several buckets of paint. Wu Ruiheng was having a lot of fun carrying the boards.
"What are you doing?" Lin Qingping was shocked.
"Oh, I happen to be free these two days, and I was thinking of painting the fences, doors and windows of the house and renovating them. I should have done it before the New Year, but I was busy before the New Year." Gu Juncheng said.
"Auntie Lin, I'm here, I can help!" Wu Ruiheng said with a smile.
Lin Qingping couldn't bear to say anything, "Silly child, your uncle Gu is deliberately trying to trick you!"
She couldn't help but glare at Gu Juncheng: You're going too far!
Zhiyuan said to Wu Ruiheng leisurely, "Comrade Xiaowu, my father really loves to order you around!"
This statement is already very obvious.
Wu Ruiheng chuckled, "Yes, my Uncle Gu likes me, otherwise why doesn't he order others around?"
Lin Qingping and Qingtian looked at him with sympathy in their eyes.
Even Gu Juncheng couldn't help but sneer.
