Liu Yulan naturally conveyed the message with her eyes: 【It's time to ask the real question. 】
【Oh... I almost forgot. 】
Years of husband and wife relationship made Lu Zhenzhong instantly understand the meaning in his wife's eyes.
"Ahem, Wen Hao, when you come here this time, when are you planning to go back, or are you planning to celebrate the New Year here?"
"Uncle, I'm going to rush back today." Li Wenhao naturally didn't take the second part of Father Lu's words seriously.
Father Lu: "Oh? Are you in such a hurry, don't you stay here for a few more days?"
"No uncle, I have already agreed with my family to go back for the New Year."
"That's it...then have you bought your ticket? It's not easy to buy a ticket at this time. If you can't buy it, you can stay at our house for two days and don't worry about going back."
'coming'.
Hearing this sentence, Li Wenhao thought to himself, but there was no emotion on his face.
These words seemed to be concerned about him, but Father Lu had already started to inquire about his specific situation.
As a human being in two lives, this is the first time he has gone through this kind of process, and it is quite novel in his heart.
Chapter 325
"No need uncle, I drove here by myself this time."
"Oh... drive." Lu's father nodded, picked up the wine glass and touched Li Wenhao, and then said concernedly: "Then you might as well go back tomorrow, it's too late to go back in the afternoon, you can't drive after drinking. "
This sentence Lu Zhenzhong really cares from the heart.
After all, if the uncle who just met had an accident when he left, not to mention that the daughter would be sad, it would not be good for their family to tell about it.
What's more, he was quite satisfied with Li Wenhao, so he naturally didn't want that kind of thing to happen.
"It's okay uncle, the driver is driving, so I'll go back in the afternoon without any problem."
Hearing Li Wenhao's words, Lu's father and Lu's mother next to him exchanged glances, and it was obvious that there was a look of surprise in the eyes of both parties.
"The company has already assigned you a driver, so Wen Hao, your position is quite high, at least you are a manager."
Father Lu didn't know the current set of CEO and director job classifications in big factories, and he didn't know that now anyone can call themselves a manager outside.
In his mind, the manager is already a top-ranking figure in the company.
Li Wenhao originally came here after dressing up this time, and didn't want to make any troubles, so he didn't deny it: "Well...it's about the same."
Hearing Li Wenhao's affirmation, Lu's mother beside her showed a thoughtful look in her eyes, and then looked at her silent son beside her.
"In that case, you will only be able to develop in Guangyang City in the future, so have you settled for your future house?" Hearing that Li Wenhao is a "manager", Father Lu took a sip from his wine glass, and then asked.
"Don't worry about the house, uncle. My father's company is engaged in real estate development."
His words are almost clear: My family has enough houses, and the most important thing is houses.
Although Li Wenhao didn't want to reveal too much information about himself, he didn't mind borrowing his father's name.
I have to say that this feeling of relying on the elders to fill the cup is very cool.
After he finished answering, Lu's father's hand holding the wine glass trembled uncontrollably, and Lu's mother also put down the chopsticks that were just about to pick up food.
The lively atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little quieter, only the clink of spoons when Lu Liman was eating, as if she didn't care about this question.
Because she knew that Li Wenhao was holding Wang Zha in his hand, so she didn't have to worry about it at all.
With this skill, it's better to fill her stomach first, after all, she is now responsible for two people's meals.
"Ahem, Xiao Man, girls should be quiet when they eat." Father Lu seemed to sense something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, and hurriedly spoke first, using his own daughter to change the subject.
"Oh." Lu Liman replied, and then ate her own.
With her emotional intelligence, she knew that her father just wanted to ease the atmosphere at this time, so she gave him enough steps.
"Hehe, Wen Hao, don't blame uncle for asking too many questions just now."
"My original intention was just to learn more about the information, because in life there is not only love and family affection, but also firewood, rice, oil and salt, all of which are related to whether your future life can be harmonious."
"Uncle, I understand, and I won't misunderstand." Li Wenhao naturally knew what Lu Zhenzhong meant. He had stayed at the construction site for so long in his previous life, and he had already seen the true face of life.
"It's good to understand. From then on, you should get along well. Living together will inevitably lead to obstacles. I hope you can understand each other."
Father Lu tried his best to keep his tone steady: "Girls are unavoidably capricious sometimes. If you have been wronged, Wen Hao, you can tell me directly."
Originally, Father Lu wanted to be reserved, but it's different now.
Now he was only afraid that this uncle would run away, so he quickly vaccinated and gave him an off-court assistance privilege.
"Okay, Uncle." Although Li Wenhao was confident that he would not be able to reach this point, there was no need to say this.
Next, the dinner table became lively again, and the sound of clinking wine glasses could be heard endlessly.
Maybe he drank too much, this time Father Lu didn't pay any attention to Mother Lu's eyes hinting at the dinner table.
After more than an hour, the dinner was over.
After Li Wenhao and the Lu family drank tea together for a while, he took advantage of the situation and offered to leave. Today's goal has been overfulfilled.
After refusing Lu's father and Lu's mother to see him off, Li Wenhao and Lu Liman walked down the stairs together.
Originally, under the instructions of his parents, Lu Ruiyang wanted to go downstairs together, but Lu Liman refused.
"Why don't you go back tomorrow, let's go find a hotel outside tonight." Lu Liman suddenly suggested for some reason.
This proposal almost made Li Wenhao stagger, he couldn't help but think of what happened last night: "No, it's almost Chinese New Year, you should spend more time with your family."
Lu Liman seemed to know that Li Wenhao would refuse, she leaned her head over and whispered in his ear, "Oh, I was sorry last night, I was too tired to hold back, I want to make up for you."
After finishing speaking, Lu Liman pouted her rosy lips again.
Seeing the other party's pretty face and pouting red lips, Li Wenhao finally rejected such a beautiful proposal after the battle between heaven and man: "Forget it, there will be plenty of time in the future."
After speaking, Li Wenhao got into the car that had already been opened, then lowered the glass window and waved his hands: "During this time, you should also pay attention to your body and diet."
His appearance today, I believe that after the mouth of "Aunt Hong", the neighbors must have known about it.
Even if Lu Liman didn't care about it himself, he still had to pay attention to some influences.
Also, consider the feelings of the other parent.
···
Upstairs, the family of three who had been standing on the balcony watching, looked at the leaving black convoy with different expressions.
"My dear, so I brought the bodyguards here..." Lu Zhenzhong said in a voice, and then took out the cigarettes he just received today, ready to light them and try the taste.
"Why didn't you talk about your son just now?" Lu's mother next to her questioned, with a trace of questioning in her tone.
"A woman's point of view, there is no one who wants this or that just after meeting."
"As long as the two of them continue to develop in the future, won't the matter of Xiaoyang's work be resolved sooner or later?"
"Hmph, smoke, smoke, smoke every day with your body, so it's confiscated." After speaking, Mother Lu snatched the cigarette from Father Lu's hand and went into the house.
"you..."
Looking at his wife who entered the house, Lu Zhenzhong's angry expression slowly subsided, and then he looked at the gate of the community and fell into deep thought.
Another reason why he didn't mention his son just now was because he was afraid that it would be difficult for his daughter to follow up.
It was just the first meeting between the two parties, and he didn't know enough about the temperament of Li Wenhao and his family.
This uncle's conditions are indeed good, but at the same time, he is under a lot of pressure as a man.
Chapter 326 New Year's Eve
With the sound of firecrackers, along with the sound of sporadic firecrackers, the time has come to New Year's Eve.
This morning, Li Wenhao's family had already set off to go to their grandparents.
At the gate of the community, after the routine registration, Li Wenhao took out several red envelopes from his pocket and distributed them with cigarettes: "Happy New Year."
This is what their family has prepared in advance before departure, and it is also the custom of celebrating the New Year here.
The red envelopes are not big, they are all for auspiciousness.
However, although the amount is not large, due to the large amount distributed during the Chinese New Year, the overall red envelope expenditure during the Chinese New Year is still very considerable.
The staff on duty obviously knew the customs here, so they didn't refuse.
Back in the car, Li Wenhao restarted the car and entered the community along the opened gate.
Because the driver went home for the New Year, the task of driving today also fell on him.
Following the tree-lined path that had been put on new make-up, Li Wenhao controlled the car and stopped in front of the familiar courtyard.
Through the low wall, it can be seen that the door of the house inside is wide open at this time.
Before they got out of the car and rang the doorbell, two old men appeared in front of the house. Maybe they had been waiting for their arrival.
Seeing the car parked at the door, the faces of the two old people were also full of smiles.
"Dad, Mom, Happy New Year."
Accompanied by the greetings from Li Xinghua and his wife, Li Wenhao also said hello: "Grandpa and grandma are happy."
"Eh, fine."
"Come on, here is a red envelope for you."
"Thank you grandma."
Li Wenhao took the red envelope respectfully, and put it in the inner pocket of his coat.
The juniors here do not need to kowtow and other complicated etiquette to receive red envelopes like other places, they just need to have an attitude.
After paying New Year's greetings, Li Wenhao turned back to the car and took out several large bags from the trunk.
These are the items needed for today's worship and some ingredients for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.
According to their customs, they need to pay homage to their ancestors before the New Year's Eve dinner, which can be regarded as a comfort to their ancestors. This year is another reunion year.
Li Wenhao didn't know much about these things. He hasn't got a family yet, so these are all the adults' work, so he helped put some things beside him.
He was busy until the afternoon, looking at the desks that had been set up in the yard, Li Wenhao couldn't see what he was doing, so he stepped aside and sat on the recliner under the big tree, looking at the phone information.
Since the morning, his mobile phone has been receiving all kinds of New Year's greeting messages one after another, ding ding dong dong, and there are people he knows or not.
There was no other way, he could only choose some people he knew and replied one by one.
Just as he was replying to the messages from his friends, several red envelope pop-up windows suddenly popped up on the screen of his mobile phone.
He opened it habitually, only to find that some executive-level management in the company's large group had already issued red envelopes in the group.
Li Wenhao smiled as he watched the WeChat messages frantically swiping past the screen, instead of going to grab them with the employees, he continued to reply to the messages.
After finishing all this work, the sky had gradually darkened. He stood up and stretched, put down his phone and helped clean up the table.
At this time, my mother was already preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen. Tonight, she was acting as the chef, while my father was helping by the side. The main task was to kill shrimps and crabs.
These seafoods were all delivered in the afternoon, and they were all told to be the freshest.
And grandma was unwilling to be lonely, and helped out in the kitchen.
Seeing the blazing heat in the kitchen, Li Wenhao didn't follow in to join in the fun, but picked up a plate of melon seeds and sat beside his grandfather.
At this time, the old man was looking down at the chessboard on the table, frowning slightly as if he was in deep thought.
"Grandpa, what are you thinking about?" Li Wenhao put a melon seed to his mouth, skillfully shaved off the outer skin with his teeth, and then accurately spit the melon seed skin into the trash can at his feet.
A sudden voice pulled the old man back from his contemplation, he waved his hand after taking a look at the grandson and continued to watch the chess game: "It's nothing, I'll just take a look."
Seeing that the old man didn't want to say more, Li Wenhao didn't ask any more questions, and looked sideways at the chessboard, only to find that the endgame was on it.
Among them, the black chess has the advantage, and the red chess has been killed to only a few pieces left.
In his impression, the old man is very good at playing chess, it can be said that he is invincible in the neighborhood.
Even the old men in other surrounding communities have been educated by him.
I think the old man has met an opponent recently, so he put the endgame into a secret study to make up lessons.
I think this endgame is the chess game he has gone through recently, and he is currently researching the solution in his free time.
Thinking of this, Li Wenhao took out his mobile phone, silently opened the WeChat mini-program 'Chess Everyday', and selected the option of endgame master.
