Chapter 133 My Little Heart Is Broken
Ding Xiaodie quickly switched hands: "Are your apples still frozen?"
She never expected that in such hot weather, the Lu family actually had ice. She thought that the iced sour plum soup she had last time was the last time she would enjoy it.
Lu Chenhe smiled faintly, "We have an ice cellar at home, and we ship ice from the north every year. Although there's less today, Uncle Jiu brought a few baskets of fruit and placed them next to the ice, and it actually helped to freeze them."
Ding Xiaodie turned her eyes away from his face and sighed: "It's good to be rich. I won't be polite then!"
She took a bite and it was cool, sweet and crispy. This was probably the most delicious apple she had ever eaten in her two lifetimes.
Ugh, this is so satisfying. (*^▽^*)
Looking at the expression on the little girl's face, Lu Chenhe couldn't help but smile: "Are you feeling better now?"
"Hmm?" Ding Xiaodie didn't understand what he meant.
"I can see you're worried about Grandma."
"Uh, uh-huh!"
Ding Xiaodie bit the apple hard. She didn't expect that this little man was so good at dealing with things. Knowing that she was in a bad mood, he took an apple to cheer her up.
If she were a twelve-year-old girl now, she might fall for his tricks.
What a pity, as an old lady, she has watched all kinds of melodramatic idol dramas, she won’t be attracted by him, she just thinks he is okay!
At this moment, Lu Xingluo came out from the inner room, panting: "Xiaodie, I will go with you to find grandma after the sun sets."
"No need, my parents and I can go."
Because they were worried that the sound of horse hooves would attract attention, everyone finally decided to go looking for it on foot.
Ding Xiaodie patted Lu Xingluo's shoulder proudly and said, "It's easier to hide the flaws when there are fewer people. Just stay and guard Yangliu Town."
"What!"
Lu Xingluo pushed her hand away, looking somewhat dissatisfied: "You are my younger sister, you can't teach me the same way you teach your brother. Besides, I am braver than you, and I am not afraid to leave the city."
"That won't work either."
Ding Xiaodie rolled her eyes, turned around and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, so she continued to eat her apple!
As the young master of the Lu family, how could he go out and take risks? The Ding family could not bear this responsibility.
"Hey, you can't be so unreasonable!" Lu Xingluo didn't want to let her go and wanted to continue arguing with her, but was stopped by Lu Chenhe: "Xingluo, don't worry, I'm sure father will make arrangements later."
After hearing what his elder brother said, Lu Xingluo's cloudy mood turned to sunny smile. He also imitated Ding Xiaodie and leaned on the fence and said, "Xiaodie, you are the bravest girl I have ever met, you know that? You are also beautiful and courageous. There is a saying that goes, "Women are as brave as men." You will definitely be that brave woman when you grow up."
Ding Xiaodie frowned: "..."
Lu Chenhe: “…” o(╥﹏╥)o
Although Xingluo has been an extrovert since childhood and can get along with all kinds of people, this is the first time he has been so shameless as to praise a girl in front of her.
Lu Chenhe didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a heavy feeling in his heart.
Later, the three members of the Ding family had dinner at the Lu family and took the dry food that Mr. Lu asked Uncle Jiu to prepare. They planned to set off before dark.
Mr. Lu repeatedly instructed, "Although I know you are filial, if you still haven't seen anyone by midnight, then you should return home." He patted Ding Gui's shoulder heavily, "Mother is important, but you must also understand that your wife and daughter are equally important."
Mr. Lu has the status he has today because rationality is the most basic ability he possesses. When faced with choices, he knows what to do better than anyone else.
In fact, if you weigh the pros and cons a little, you will understand that what he said is not wrong.
Ding Gui nodded and clasped his fists: "Thank you, Master Lu."
Zhang Xiu and Ding Xiaodie said goodbye to them one by one.
Lu Xingluo, who was standing aside, was dumbfounded: "..."
Seeing the three members of the Ding family leave like this, he quickly grabbed his eldest brother and said, "Brother, didn't you say that father would make some arrangements? Why didn't you ask us to accompany Xiaodie's family to find grandma?"
Lu Chenhe sighed softly: "You heard what father said to Uncle Gui just now. In fact, the chances of them finding grandma this time are not high, and there will be personal danger. He will definitely not let you go out."
"What?" Lu Xingluo's face was full of disappointment. No, he wanted to go.
"Xingluo, I want to ask you..."
Lu Chenhe's expression suddenly became more serious: "Do you like Xiaodie?"
Lu Xingluo was stunned: "..."
Well!
He scratched his head, raised his eyes and said, "Yes, I like Xiaodie, what's wrong, brother?"
Now Lu Chenhe was stunned. He regretted asking the question, but now it was his turn and he didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, my father came back to the house at this time, changed into sportswear, and brought two guards with him: "Chen He, come with us to experience some new life."
Lu Chenhe nodded: "Yes."
He was already prepared, had changed into his tight clothes, and had his sword hung at his waist.
It was only then that Lu Xingluo reacted: "Brother, you already knew that father would take you out and not me."
What kind of big brother is this? His little heart is about to break into pieces.
Lu Chenhe could only pat his shoulder to comfort him: "Take care of the house, we will go and secretly protect Xiaodie's family."
"I..." Before she could even utter the word "no", she heard her father's stern voice: "Xingluo, stop messing around. You must protect your mother at home."
Lu Xingluo was so exhausted she could only agree, "Yes, father."
Afterwards, he could only watch helplessly as his father and his eldest brother quietly left the Lu Mansion. He stood under the eaves, watching the red tint on the horizon after the sun set, and sighed long and deeply: "Alas~"
Uncle Jiu couldn't help but laugh: "Why is the young master sighing like that?"
"My father never takes me with him when he goes out. He must think I'm not as capable as my brother. But I also want to go out and gain some experience, so why can't I?"
"Haha, young master, you're wrong to think so! Master taking the eldest young master out for training is a form of training for him, but letting the young master support such a large Lu Mansion at home, isn't that also training?"
Uncle Jiu looked relieved. The young master knew how to make progress, which meant he had grown up.
"Really?" Lu Xingluo was a little confused, but he didn't do anything here.
Uncle Jiu said, "Young Master, don't forget. When the old master came back this time and heard that the desert soldiers had almost entered Yangliu Town, and that the young master had staged the empty city plan all by himself on the city wall, he was happier than anyone else."
"Really?" Lu Xingluo's eyes lit up. He was more surprised than anything else to be appreciated by his father.
"Of course, the master is just not good at expressing it. Although he is strict with you, you are his son just like the eldest young master. How can he not be pleased?"
With Uncle Jiu's words, Lu Xingluo's mood instantly rose from the bottom of the valley to the sky. It was great. He was in a good mood now, but his biggest wish was that Xiaodie and his elder brother would return safely.
