After hanging up the phone, she made tea for the old couple, took out the dried fruits that Luo Qiao brought back last time and the snacks she made: "Mom and Dad, you sit down first, I'll go cook."
Zhou Guifang and Luo Daoren were both people who couldn't sit still, so they took on the job of pickling pickles.
Gu Qianru knew that her father-in-law loved to eat meat, so she made Dongpo pork with vermicelli and braised pork elbow, and the pickled fish and pork with preserved vegetables that her mother-in-law liked. She also made the home-cooked tofu that Luo Haotian liked. Since she liked light flavors, she also fried some dried shrimps and winter melon, and was busy for most of the day.
When Luo Haotian came in, the last dish had just come out of the pot.
After washing his hands, Luo Haotian looked at the old couple who seldom went out, smiling: "Dad, Mom, how could you bear to go out for a walk?"
Zhou Guifang looked at her second son with a smile on his face and knew that he was living a comfortable life now. But knowing is one thing, and seeing it with her own eyes is another. She felt indescribably happy in her heart.
Zhou Guifang patted the seat beside her: "Second brother, are you busy recently?"
Luo Haotian picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of hot tea: "It's okay. The factory has a lot of orders now, and the workers are busy working overtime. As the factory director, I have a lot to do."
He took a sip of the tea in his hand and said, "Mom, are you here for something?"
Zhou Guifang glanced at her son and said, "Why, can't you come over if you have nothing to do?"
Luo Haotian put down the teacup: "Oh, my dear mother, look at what you said, you didn't come before no matter how I invited you, but today you took the initiative to come, isn't this just asking me?"
Luo Daoren glanced at his wife and said, "Alright, stop keeping him in suspense. Look how scared he is."
Zhou Guifang put down the teacup in her hand and told the story of what Chang Yu had done. Finally, she added, "But it's over now. Yi Chen also responded to them. She was too clever for her own good. Now she's probably hiding in a corner regretting it."
Luo Haotian was so angry that he slammed the table. Because they were caught off guard, he scared the old couple: "This is the first time I've heard of someone so bold and shameless."
"Of course, you don't know. After the truth was revealed, he came to our house and wanted us to intercede for him. What do you think this girl was thinking?"
"I guess he wants to take a gamble. If you are soft-hearted, you might actually help him."
"What do you think of me, your mother? No matter how kind-hearted I am, I can still tell right from wrong, inside from outside."
"Yes, yes, yes, mom is the wisest."
Luo Daoren watched his second son and his wife having fun, his face full of smiles.
Gu Qianru came in at this time: "Mom, Dad, Haotian, it's time to eat."
Zhou Guifang smiled and stood up: "You are right."
Gu Qianru helped her parents-in-law serve the food while she said, "Mom and Dad, I'll take you out for a walk this afternoon and buy you some clothes."
Zhou Guifang waved her hand and said, "No, no, I can't wear all the clothes I bought for you before, so I can't buy more. There's no need to waste them."
Gu Qianru said, "Then let's go out and look around. If we find something suitable, we'll buy it. If not, we'll just go out for a stroll."
Luo Haotian also echoed, "Mom and Dad, Qianru is right. Just treat it as going out for a stroll. If you come across something you like, buy it. This will give us a chance to honor you two."
Zhou Guifang laughed: "You guys are still fighting for money, so it's not in vain that I raised you guys."
Luo Haotian helped to pick up some dishes: "Of course, most of your clothes are taken care of by your granddaughters-in-law and granddaughters, so it's not our turn to eat and drink. It's not easy for people to come here, so we have to show our gratitude."
Zhou Guifang felt as if she had drunk honey in her heart. Since her son remarried, his temper has become more lively and he talks more than before: "Okay, since you said so, let's go out for a walk this afternoon."
****** Because Luo Qiao had to attend an activity at the kindergarten in the afternoon and had an appointment with Lu Yichen to have lunch together at noon, she took a leave in advance and went downstairs to wait for Lu Yichen at the gate.
As soon as I went downstairs, I heard a noise in the corridor.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
She was about to ask what was going on when she saw a doctor running out of the outpatient clinic. He bumped into her in such a hurry.
Because I was caught off guard, I stumbled and almost fell.
Seeing clearly that it was Dr. Zheng from the neurosurgery department, he asked, "What happened?"
As soon as she asked, she saw an old lady chasing after her: "You are a quack doctor. You can't even treat a disease, and you don't allow people to speak."
Doctor Zheng who ran out replied: "Then you can't hit people either?
I'm in the neurosurgery department, not the orthopedics department. If you say that someone diagnosed your lumbar disc herniation, and that person is a miracle doctor, then why are you still coming to the hospital?"
The old lady cursed: "If you can't see it, just say so. Why do you say I was deceived? Do you think I'm old and confused?"
