Chapter 248: A Family
The waiter turned away with a smile on his face, thinking that he had met a rich man today.
It's just four people, and I order so many dishes at once, and this time the restaurant is going to make a profit!
The dΓ©cor in this restaurant is relatively rustic, but there is a touch of luxury in this simplicity.
The big crystal chandelier above their heads attracted Li Jianlin's attention, and Zhu Xiaoyou also noticed that Li Jianlin had been observing everything around him, and he was a little worried that this child might not be suitable for the current environment, so he kept holding Li Jianlin's hand.
"Xiaolin," Zhu Xiaoyou said softly to Li Jianlin, "Don't be worried when you are with Aunt Zhu, don't be afraid, I will protect you all the time." β
Li Jianlin still didn't speak, but this time he nodded.
Zhu Xiaoyou was also very happy to see his reaction, as long as Li Jianlin reacted to herself, this would be fine, she would be satisfied.
And Huo Yi, who was sitting on the right side of Zhu Xiaoyou, was confused, he didn't know why this child had attracted so much attention from his mother, why his mother was always talking to him along the way, but not talking to himself?
"Mom," Huo Yi pursed his mouth at this time and began to be coquettish, "Why don't you talk to me?" have you forgotten that you also have a son sitting next to you?"
Zhu Xiaoyou was a little embarrassed by Huo Yi's words, and turned to look at him, "Good son, how could my mother forget you? It's just that my mother wants to take more care of this little friend." β
"Then Mom, why does he need more care from you?"
Huo Yi has always adhered to the principle of asking if he doesn't understand, and if he has any questions in his heart, he will ask them on the spot.
But Huo Yi's question made Zhu Xiaoyou look a little embarrassed, she couldn't tell Huo Yi in front of Li Jianlin that Li Jianlin's character had some problems, right?
If not, how can this be explained to Huo Yi?
"This ......"
Zhu Xiaoyou was a little stuck for a while, and she didn't know what to do, but at this time, Huo Yanyan extended a helping hand to her.
"Come, son, come and sit beside Daddy. β
Huo Yanyan waved his hand at Huo Yi, and Huo Yi obediently jumped off the bench and hugged Huo Yanyan's side tightly.
"Dad, why do you think Mom ignores me?
Huo Yi looked aggrieved and wanted to cry, and looked at Li Jianlin's eyes, and there was some envy and jealousy.
Zhu Xiaoyou was really flustered at this time, "Son, don't think too much, mom really doesn't mean what you think, how can mom ignore you?"
"Yes," Huo Yanyan also hugged Huo Yi's shoulder, "You misunderstood your mother, the reason why this child needs his mother's care is because he doesn't have his parents by her side now, so we have to care more about him, don't you say?"
Huo Yi only remembered after listening to Huo Yanyan's words that he did see that this little boy was a person.
So that's why mom cares more about him, right?
Thinking of this, Huo Yi also felt that he had thought clearly, so he also withdrew the look he had just seen Li Jianlin.
"Yes," Zhu Xiaoyou also agreed, "Son, what your father said is what your mother wants to express." β
Zhu Xiaoyou patted Li Jianlin's shoulder again and looked at Huo Yi, "Son, do you want to play with this brother?"
Zhu Xiaoyou didn't know what month Li Jianlin was born, but she directly called Li Jianlin Huo Yi's brother, which made it convenient for them to play together.
"Okay, of course I do!"
Huo Yi was very happy, because he usually didn't have any other friends of the same age to play with except in kindergarten.
"Can I play with him now?"
Zhu Xiaoyou nodded, but immediately shook his head, "Let's wait a minute, you can play together after we finish eating, okay?"
Huo Yi nodded at Zhu Xiaoyou obediently, and smiled at Li Jianlin again, "Brother, you can play with me in the future, I'm not a bad boy, I won't bully you." β
"Hahaha," Huo Yi's words made Huo Yanyan laugh, "You kid, you are really exactly the same as I was back then." β
While Huo Yanyan said this, he also looked at Zhu Xiaoyou, Zhu Xiaoyou received the signal from his eyes, but ignored him.
"Why hasn't this food come up yet? We've talked so much......
Zhu Xiaoyou seemed to be talking to herself, but she was just rejecting Huo Yanyan.
Huo Yanyan also knew what Zhu Xiaoyou meant, although he was not happy in his heart, he immediately shut up.
At this time, the waiter also happened to appear beside them, followed by a large group of people, and put the dishes on the table one by one.
"Mr. and Madam, this is a dish that your family just ordered, please use it slowly. β
The three words "family" made Li Jianlin's body tremble, and he had never heard that anyone would contact him with other people as a family.
And Zhu Xiaoyou also felt Li Jianlin's reaction, and he felt a little unbearable.
"Alright, let's eat. β
Zhu Xiaoyou kept giving Li Jianlin vegetables, and also filled him with a bowl of his favorite seaweed egg soup.
"Xiaolin, you can eat well, this soup is a little hot, you have to be careful. β
Huo Yi saw that Zhu Xiaoyou cared so much about Li Jianlin, and he still had some slight dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Mom, I want to drink soup too, you can serve me a bowl. β
"Okay, Mom, I'll give it to you. β
Zhu Xiaoyou also filled Huo Yi with a bowl of soup and put it in front of him, at this time, Huo Yi did not start drinking the soup directly, but coquettishly to Zhu Xiaoyou.
"Mom, this soup is really hot, do you want to blow it for me and let me drink it again?"
"Okay, don't mess with your mother," Huo Yanyan took Huo Yi's words at this time and put the bowl in front of him, "Dad will blow it for you, it's the same." β
"Hmph, okay. β
Huo Yi's mouth was pursed high, he originally wanted to be coquettish to Zhu Xiaoyou, but he didn't expect Huo Yanyan to suddenly pop up.
But since Huo Yanyan has blown the soup cold for him, then he should drink it.
Zhu Xiaoyou sat opposite the two fathers and sons, and couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the two of them.
She was about to talk to Li Jianlin, but she saw that Li Jianlin had been staring at Huo Yanyan and Huo Yi.
Li Jianlin kept staring at the two people in front of him, so much so that he stopped the movements of his hands, the chopsticks were clamped like that, and the dishes were not put in his mouth.
At this moment, Zhu Xiaoyou felt that Li Jianlin was actually envious of these people with families, he might be envious of Huo Yi, or he might be envious of Huo Yanyan.
All in all, Li Jianlin is envious of family affection.
