Chapter 299 What bad intentions could Xiao Mingxuan have?
Not long after, Ruanruan and Commander Gu came back, followed by four children. The Lan family came suddenly this time, and considering what happened before, Ruanruan felt that she should talk to her grandmother, so when she woke up from lunch break, she called the Gu family accompanied by the children.
She told her grandmother in detail about the Lan family's affairs, including how Huo Haocheng saved the child and how the child came to their home, and then how Lan Haofan said he would donate musical instruments to her, including the jade pendant he gave her today. In fact, she still wanted to ask what her uncle and the others lacked so that she could find a way to make up for it.
After listening to what Ruanruan said, the old lady also heard the hidden meaning in her words. She just told her to keep it if it was given to her. There were many good things in the Lan family and there was no need to feel burdened. She asked her to take care of herself and the children. After that, she chatted with grandpa again. Gu Jingming and Xiao Mingxuan also chatted with them for a few words. Most of the time, the children were chattering on the phone. Ruanruan was sitting next to them and could hardly hear what they were saying, let alone the two elders on the other end of the phone. When they had almost finished yelling and it was getting late, Ruanruan picked up the phone again, said goodbye to grandpa and grandma, and hung up.
The people who were chatting animatedly in the room stopped chatting when they heard the children's laughter from a distance, moved their stools to the door, and stretched their heads to see if they had come in.
Looking out from the courtyard wall, he saw half of Gu Jingming's head and immediately called out, "Mingxuan, come in quickly, this is Grandpa Zeng."
It was the first time that Ruanruan heard her uncle speak so loudly. When she first met him in the morning, Ruanruan thought he was a rather serious old man. But now with his voice, the image of him in her mind turned into a little old man who was a little serious but not too serious, and a little funny and cute.
"Grandpa Great, I'm here. Xiao Mingxuan is here." Xiao Mingxuan, who was originally outside the gate of Captain Zheng's courtyard, reluctantly saying goodbye to Xiao Xingxing, immediately let go of Xiao Xingxing's hand and ran home when he heard his great-grandpa calling him.
Seeing Mingxuan running in, Lan Zhiyu waved to him and said, "Mingxuan, come here quickly, come to Grandpa Zeng."
After Mingxuan ran into his arms, he took out a handkerchief and began to wipe his sweat. "Mingxuan, this is your great-grandfather's good friend. You can just be his great-grandfather."
It's not that Lan Zhiyu doesn't want to add Fu Yuanbo's last name, it's just that this great-grandfather Fu sounds a bit awkward. Or, there's no need to separate the two of them so clearly. Besides, if Mingxuan really stays, won't he still need Fu Yuanbo's help in the future? It's better to let the child get closer to him first.
"Hello, Grandpa Zeng, I'm Lan Mingxuan." When greeting each other for the first time, I should introduce my name or just call him softly.
He had just recovered from his illness and had just started to speak, when Ruanruan asked him his name. He only said three words, Lan Mingxuan. After that, Ruanruan taught him that when greeting people he met for the first time, he should be polite and introduce his name. In this way, others would know and remember him quickly, just like when Xiao Xingxing greeted him on his first day.
After that, he began to observe how Xiao Xingxing talked to others, and slowly, he became cheerful.
"Okay, okay, our little Mingxuan is such an obedient and lovely child." It was the first time that Fu Yuanbo saw such a polite way of greeting, and he was very happy for a moment.
It's not just him. Lan Zhiyu and Lan Haofan also met for the first time. Before, when Mingxuan was at home, he only talked to his family. When he went out with his family and someone called his name, he would simply reply with a word, such as um, okay, or oh. At first, the villagers thought he was in a bad mood, so he was not willing to talk. Later, after a long time, they all knew that he really didn't like to talk. In this regard, Lan Zhiyu and his wife would pull Mingxuan aside to talk whenever they had free time, hoping that he could say a few more words. At the beginning, there was some effect, but slowly, Mingxuan became more and more silent, and was not willing to talk at home.
Seeing his grandson's current appearance, Lan Haofan thought, perhaps he should really leave the child here.
While they were chatting outside, the preparations in the kitchen were almost completed. When Wang Qun started to grill fish and chicken, he came out and called them.
I saw a group of people gathered around the earthen oven, listening carefully to the steps Wang Qun explained.
Teacher Shen and the old lady also started cooking. The grilled fish took a shorter time to cook, so when their dishes were done, the fish was basically done. The grilled chicken took a little longer, but it didn't matter, you could eat while waiting.
Huo Haoshen, Huo Haoli and others came with some wine after get off work. As soon as they came in, they saw Ruanruan, Zheng Xuyang and Commander Gu sitting under the eaves and chatting.
"Uncle Gu, look, what have we brought?" Huo Haoshen, Huo Haoli and Zheng Xujie each held a bottle of Moutai in their arms. It was obvious that they were asked to come and drink with the guests, and they really came here to drink.
"Oh, Moutai! You bought three bottles at once. That's great. You can have a drink with your uncle and Grandpa Fu and Uncle Haofan today." Looking at the Moutai in their arms, Commander Gu also wanted to drink it, but tomorrow is Monday, and he has to work. After the last incident, he dare not drink more now, two glasses at most. After two glasses, no matter who persuades him, it will be useless.
Hearing the person Commander Gu mentioned, Huo Haoshen looked into the room, but didn't see him. "Ruanruan, where are my uncle and the others?"
"What are you looking at, little brat? It's in the backyard, your mother is teaching them how to grill fish." Just as Huo Haoshen stretched his neck to look into the house, Commander Gu slapped him on the back without him having to give a soft reply, and cleared up his confusion at the same time.
After hearing what Commander Gu said, they put the wine on the table and went in to take a look. They originally wanted to say hello and recognize them first, but seeing that they were listening too seriously, they just said hello to Grandma Shen and came out.
During the meal, the grilled fish was very popular. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and full of flavor. Lan Zhiyu and Fu Yuanbo couldn't stop eating it, and even gave up their favorite wine.
"Grandpa Zeng, would you like to eat slowly? There will be roast chicken later..." Xiao Mingxuan saw that they only ate fish and did not touch the other dishes at all, so he thought, what if they were full from the fish and could not eat the roast chicken later? He still wanted them to taste the roast chicken.
After hearing Xiao Mingxuan's words, the whole audience fell silent for a moment, and several female comrades tried hard to hold back their laughter.
In the end, it was Huo Haoshen who picked up the wine glass, introduced them to Lan Zhiyu and Lan Haofan, and toasted them, and the table became lively again.
