Chapter 311: Fu Lao's hint again
Du Mengqi glanced at Xu Lijuan and Xu Deyu, the deep thought in her eyes flashed, and she asked with a smile: "What secrets were you two brothers and sisters talking about just now?" β
"Mom, you said it was a secret, of course I can't tell you!" Xu Lijuan replied with a smile, no longer caring about the doubtful and disbelieving gazes of Xu Lao, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi when they looked at herself and Xu Deyu, and by the way, she didn't forget to drag Xu Deyu into the water: "Fifth brother, you say, right?" β
At this time, you can see the different status of Xu Lijuan in the Xu family again, look, Xu Lao, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi all looked at Xu Deyu with threatening and warning eyes, if the eyes can kill, it is estimated that Xu Deyu has already tasted the pain of blood at this moment.
If it were a different person, this trick might still be effective, but the one in front of him would be defeated by Xu Deyou, Xu Dehui, Xu Dehai and Xu Deyao regardless of IQ or force, and he was forced to carry the black pot countless times, and he had already cultivated Xu Deyu, who was even thicker than the city wall, so he just looked back at Xu Lao, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi with a sincere face, and nodded: "Grandpa, fourth uncle, fourth aunt, this is indeed the case." β
Xu Lao raised his eyebrows, his eyes swirled around Xu Deyu's little finger that shook slightly at his side, so far, Xu Deyu didn't know that once he lied, then no matter how sincere the expression on his face was, his trembling little finger would still betray him. It is precisely because of this that for so many years, he has been crushed by a lot of people and is powerless to resist.
Just as Xu Lao was about to interrogate Xu Deyu in person, Xu Lijuan, who had already noticed it, immediately beckoned: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, the meal is getting cold, eat breakfast first, and talk about other things later." β
Xu Lao glanced at Xu Deyu, who was pretending to be calm, pursed his lips, and didn't bother to continue to reason with Xu Deyu, walked to the table, and began to taste the delicious meal specially prepared by Xu Lijuan.
Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi also sat down one after another, and seeing this, Xu Deyu breathed a sigh of relief without a trace.
After Xu Deyu sat down at the bottom of the head, when he looked at the bowl of shrimp porridge and a bowl of milky white nourishing soup that were placed in front of him, he immediately threw aside the bad premonition that suddenly grew in his heart, and asked in surprise: "Xiaojuan, do you also want to drink tonic soup with the fourth uncle, the fourth aunt and you?" β
"Winter is a good time to take supplements, no matter how old you are, you need to take proper supplements to increase the vitality in your body." Xu Lijuan nodded, took a sip of the soup, and added: "This morning is winter melon crucian carp soup, which is not very greasy, and it is suitable for drinking in the morning." β
It's all said and done, if Xu Deyu doesn't drink again, it is estimated that what awaits him will be a sudden punishment from Xu Lao. What's more, this is still a loving health nourishing soup specially prepared for him by Xu Lijuan......
So, Xu Deyu picked up the small bowl suddenly, raised his head, held his breath, poured the whole bowl of soup into his stomach in one go, and then put the empty bowl back on the table very boldly, and wiped his mouth casually: "Good soup!" β
Xu Lao: Such a stupid person is definitely not my grandson.
Xu Ankang: Xiao Wu loves wine so much that he even thinks of it as wine when he drinks soup.
Du Mengqi: Xiao Wu, this kid is getting better and better at playing treasures.
Xu Lijuan: It seems that the fifth brother likes to drink soup, and in the future, there is no need to deliberately consider the preferences of the fifth brother, and he will take turns to send different flavors of soup and water every day, anyway, each soup will have the same flavor in the mouth of the fifth brother.
Clank: Dotted wax.
β¦β¦
The lively breakfast ended in such an atmosphere.
After the meal, Xu Lijuan still cleaned up the tabletop, put the dishes in the dishwasher, and then put them all in the sterilizer after they were cleaned.
Xu Lijuan's flowing posture fell in Xu Deyu's eyes, making him feel sad and depressed again. At this moment, Xu Deyu was rarely annoyed that he had inherited the characteristic that "the Xu family can't enter the kitchen, otherwise not only will they not be able to tidy up the kitchen, but they will also destroy the kitchen so that no one can get down", otherwise, he would be able to help Xu Lijuan share a little housework......
Ten minutes later, Xu Lijuan came out with three prepared insulated boxes, among them, the blue one was handed to Xu Ankang, the apricot one was handed to Du Mengqi, and she was carrying the lilac insulated box.
Xu Lao looked at Xu Deyu, who was looking at this scene suspiciously, with disgust, and quickly withdrew his gaze, looked at Xu Lijuan, and said, "Xiaojuan, you should go out with me today." β
Xu Lijuan, who had already expected Xu Lao's decision, didn't want to nod, and kept up with Xu Lao's pace when she mentioned the lilac insulated box. However, when she inadvertently looked back, she found Xu Deyu sitting there with a lonely face, and his back also gave people a sense of desolation, so she couldn't help pursing her lips and asked, "Grandpa, isn't the fifth brother going today?" β
"He's ......" Old man Xu said without looking back: "That stupid panda-like picture, although it won't scare my old friends when it goes out, it's not good to scare the flowers and plants on both sides of the road." β
"......" Looking at the back of everyone leaving, Xu Deyu silently wiped his face, as for him, one or two disliked him! I think back then, he was also a beautiful man who swept the compound, okay?! If you weren't too busy some time ago, how could you toss yourself like this......
Forget it, it's useless to think too much, let's go back to the room and continue to make up for sleep, and strive to recuperate before the eldest brother, second brother, third brother and fourth brother come back, otherwise......
Thinking of such a miserable scene, even if he has been harmed by Xu Deyou, Xu Dehui, Xu Dehai and Xu Deyao for more than 20 years, Xu Deyu, who has already trained a strong heart like a golden diamond that is not afraid of any hardships and difficulties, can't help but feel a chill in his back and shiver excitedly.
β¦β¦
Those who often interact with Xu Lao are Wen Lao, Wang Lao, Lin Lao, Gu Lao, Yu Lao and Fu Lao. However, because Wen Lao does not live in the compound, and often participates in some archaeological research projects, he often gives people a feeling of "the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail", the other old men, even if they were not very familiar with each other before, but since they retired, they have slowly become familiar with each other, and when they joke, they will definitely not take into account the psychological tolerance of the other party.
Strictly speaking, these old men are well-informed, and all of them can be regarded as old foxes. It stands to reason that they should be good at the set of sharp words in officialdom. However, they all say "old child", this person is old, and after retiring, some things are not so concerned, a little bit of small things that were not seen in the eyes before can be turned upside down, and the words and sentences are called a snarky, if people who are familiar with these people see this scene, they will probably think that they are dreaming.
At this point, even Xu Lijuan, who often follows Xu Lao to a few old men to brush up on her senses, after such a long time, whenever this kind of thing happens, she still feels extremely uncomfortable.
The most helpless thing for Xu Lijuan was that of the ten quarrels, at least five of them were deliberately provoked by Xu Lao. Just like now, Xu Lao once again held his head high, with a triumphant look on his face: "How about it, this Tang costume looks good, right?" Line my temperament, right? Hahaha...... This is specially given to me by my Xiaojuan, and money can't buy it, envy, jealousy, right? No matter how envious and jealous you are, your grandchildren can't give you a set of ......"
"Isn't it just a Tang costume? What is there to show off? Tomorrow I will wear the Tang costume that my little daughter sent by the world's top embroidery master that took a whole month to sew, hum! Don't look at Wang Lao's face and don't care, in fact, a trace of envy quickly flashed in his eyes, and there was a trace of weakness and chagrin. Even if he is just a layman, he can still feel that the Tang costume made by the embroidery master who he cherishes so much that he is reluctant to wear it except for important occasions is not as good as the one worn by Xu Lao!
Lin Lao, who has always liked to drink with Wang Lao, also rarely agreed: "That's it, isn't it just a Tang costume?" What's there? It's just the others, who of us doesn't have three or five Tang costumes, then I'm really embarrassed to say that we wore Tang costumes. But I thought to myself: Meow, when I turn around, call those bastard boys and ask them to send a few sets of Tang costumes in the shortest possible time!
"My Xiaoyi also sent me two sets of Tang costumes, and I will wear them tomorrow!" Yu Lao touched his chin, how could he not see that the two sets of Tang costumes given to him by Jiayi and the Tang costumes worn by Xu Lao and Fu Lao were of the same exquisite grade, and at a glance, he knew that Xu Lijuan had transferred them to him through Yu Jiayi's hand......
Thinking of Xu Lijuan, who immediately ran to the main hospital with a lot of fruit after learning the news of Yu Jiayi's hospitalization some time ago, and then thinking about Yu Shengze, who was originally favored by himself and the elders of the family, but almost made a big mistake because of an inexplicable woman, Yu Lao was glad again: Well, it's still very good for my granddaughter to have such a good friend......
Gu Lao, who has always liked to wear Tang costumes, glanced at Xu Lao, whose tail was about to reach the sky, and then at Fu Lao, who was also wearing a set of beautifully embroidered navy blue Tang costumes beside him, and was once again glad that he didn't pick Tang clothes when he went out today, otherwise, sitting between these two people, even if he didn't say a word, he would fall behind!
In order to prevent everyone from perceiving his thoughts, Gu Lao lost no time in changing the topic and asked: "Old man Fu, if I remember correctly, you have never liked to wear these soft cotton clothes with no strength, how can you make an appointment with Old Man Xu today to wear a set of Tang clothes?" It won't ......"
Fu Lao nodded, and did not pick out the words as before, but nodded with a smile, and said, "You are right." β
It was the first time that Gu Lao tasted this kind of "dumb loss" that ridiculed people instead of being ridiculed, but if he gave up, he would not be Gu Lao who had always given people a bad feeling. So, I saw that he also smiled, and pretended to ask casually: "I haven't seen your kid for half a month, right?" Is there another mission? β
Fu Lao suddenly put a smile on his face, glanced at Gu Lao with a stern face, and only looked at Gu Lao, who had different thoughts, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, and for the first time, he truly realized that Fu Lao can become the only marshal since the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is indeed not touted by everyone, but really powerful! Even though Fu Lao has been retired for almost ten years, the cold and murderous aura on his body that has been on the battlefield for a long time and has definitely seen blood has not been worn away by the peaceful life.
Fortunately, the attention of Wang Lao, Lin Lao and Yu Lao was still on Xu Lao, and they didn't notice the interaction between Gu Lao and Fu Lao at all, plus the breath on Fu Lao's body only disappeared in a flash, so in addition to being a brother and "enemy" with Fu Lao for decades, his military exploits were also fought on the battlefield, and Xu Lao, who was extremely keen on blood and murder, casually glanced at Fu Lao and Gu Lao, and only Xu Lijuan, who was staying next to Xu Lao, also noticed this.
Speaking of which, in the past, Gu Lao and Fu Lao only knew each other on the surface, and they did not deliberately have a deep friendship. Even if Gu Lao noticed Gu Wanwan's thoughts about Fu Jianbai, the grandson of Fu Lao, and tried his best to test Fu Lao for various reasons, he was resolved one by one by Fu Lao, who relied on his military exploits and was named Marshal but still had a good heart, which only made him choke every time he thought of it.
Just like now, Fu Lao sighed, with unconcealable pride and pride in his eyes: "Although that bastard boy didn't say it, I also know that he likes this kind of thrilling and exciting days of walking between dangers and living on the edge of a knife every day, a typical workaholic!" Although he has not lost the prestige of our Fu family, as an elder, although I know that I don't need to worry too much about him, I still hope that he can find a girl who is in love with him as soon as possible to start a family, and then give birth to a white and chubby great-grandson......"
Gu Lao's heart that mentioned his throat not only did not fall back to the same place, but also beat so rapidly that he was about to jump out of his chest, and even the fingers holding the teacup were unconsciously forced, and his fingertips were blue and white, and he had a bad premonition in his heart for a moment.
Sure enough, the next moment, I only heard Fu Lao say with a smile: "Although 'man is thirty-one flowers', and my kid is only 26 years old, not only handsome, but also in a high position, as long as he waves his hand, there are definitely a lot of girls who are willing to marry him one after another." However, given his aloof, slightly uncertain personality of 'not necessarily a word can be struck with a stick', I don't have much hope that he will ever retract some of the enthusiasm he has poured into his work. However, now, I think this 'fate' is indeed unpredictable, and no one knows when Yue Lao will tie a red thread to himself. β
Gu Lao's heart was a little colder, with his shrewdness, how could he not detect the deep meaning in Fu Lao's words? However, it is precisely because of this that he can't accept it.
What about the ideal "Fu Gu Alliance"? Is it just gone?
Really...... Are you willing? It's been in business for so long, and the success that is about to fall into the palm of your hand has slipped through your fingertips like this......
Even Gu Lao, who has always been scheming and good at concealing his thoughts, was stunned for a moment, and many things that happened during this time also appeared in front of him in an instant, giving him a trace of enlightenment in his heart, but he sadly found that the most critical place was still covered with a veil.
"......" relied on the broadcast of Ding Dong to compare it with the scenes he had noticed in his past life and present life, so that Xu Lijuan, who had already realized Gu Lao's thoughts and attitudes, couldn't help but sigh secretly, but in her heart she was also aware of Gu Lao's thoughts, and during this period of time, because of Xu Lao and others, she had been reminding Gu Lao intentionally or unintentionally, but Fu Lao, who was almost stunned by Gu Lao's repeated actions of playing dumb riddles, was once again grateful for the move of no longer shy away from picking out this matter at this moment today.
Anyway, now, Fu Jianbai is Xu Lijuan's boyfriend, and it is just that he is remembered by people like Gu Wanwan, even Gu Lao, who is at the same level as Xu Lao, knows that he can't do it, but he still ignores it again and again, or it should be said that he is happy to see these things happen, but Xu Lijuan can't accept it.
β¦β¦
Xu Lao, who also sensed that the atmosphere between Fu Lao and Gu Lao was not quite right, narrowed his eyes slightly, took a few steps quickly, and as soon as his right hand was forced, he slapped Fu Lao on the shoulder heavily: "Hey, what are you two whispering?" β
Under the light sunlight, the light purple Tang costume embroidered with the golden "Fu" pattern on Xu Lao's body, and the navy blue Tang costume on Fu Lao's body that was also embroidered with the golden "Lu" character pattern complemented each other, which only set off the momentum of the two elders more and more intensely, and made the envy, jealousy and hatred that the hearts of Wang Lao, Lin Lao, Gu Lao and Yu Lao, who also looked up at the two elders, finally get rid of like a few barrels of boiling oil on the fire.
As usual, it was Wang Lao who took the lead in making a difficulty: "Why are you only allowed to be close to the two of you, and not to be close to others?" β
Yu Lao also echoed: "That's it, don't think that you both wear Tang costumes to be from one country, and I will wear Tang costumes tomorrow!" β
"Tsk...... I don't understand what you're all thinking, isn't it Tang costume? I'll wear it tomorrow too! Lin Lao, who had been rummaging in his mind for a long time just now, finally remembered that he still had a few sets of Tang costumes at the bottom of the box, and said with a smile: "However, Tang costumes are very picky about figure and temperament, I must be fine, as for you...... Hehe......"
"Old man Lin, no matter how much you belittle us to elevate you, that bloody fact will also swell your face!" Fu Lao also stood up and hooked up with Xu Lao, giving people a feeling of "deep brotherhood". Of course, the most important thing is that Fu Lao and Xu Lao both want to show their absolute standard bodies that are not inferior to the top male models, and even, I don't know who started it, several old men actually stood up one by one and walked catwalks!
If that's the case, it's just that, the key is that these old men are not light and admit defeat, so, then, I don't know who hit whom, and I don't know who didn't pay attention to who stepped on whose foot when he turned the corner, in short, in less than three minutes, the "T catwalk male models" who could have been seen turned into teeth and claws as if they were possessed by the Holy Buddha.
"......" For the indisregard of several old men, Xu Lijuan really didn't know whether to applaud herself for being able to observe this qiΔ up close, or to sigh for her outlook on life and values that had been distorted again and again.
From now on, will she still have the slightest admiration for these old men like everyone else? And every time she sees a strange old man, will she guess that the other party must be another picture in private?
"Xiaojuan." A light voice that seemed strange and familiar came from behind Xu Lijuan.
"Brother Fu?" Xu Lijuan exclaimed, her face was full of surprise and disbelief, and she even rubbed her eyes with her fingers, she couldn't believe that the military uniform that appeared in front of her was straight, although she had been running around outside for more than ten days, she didn't care about rest and adjustment after returning to Beijing, and came to see herself as soon as possible, but she was still in good spirits without the slightest feeling of being dusty, and the handsome man who stood there as if the whole person could spend it turned out to be Fu Jianbai!
"I'm back." Fu Jianbai stared at Xu Lijuan affectionately, no one knew how tormented he was in his heart when he went out on a mission for more than ten days.
Over the years, the soldiers and cubs under his command have shown a dreamy expression that people can't bear to look at when they talk about their girlfriends or wives, which makes Fu Jianbai wake up again and again, and he doesn't dare to strengthen his mind without stopping, for fear that he will fall into this state one day, which is really a tragic thing.
After a few years passed, Fu Jianbai's mind was trained to the point that ten special forces might not be as strong as him, so he slowly put these things aside. And Xu Lijuan's name appeared in his ears at this time, invading his heart with a slowness that he didn't even notice, but so profound that people couldn't get rid of it at all. Until now, except for Xu Lijuan, he can no longer see anyone in his eyes.
It was also this mission that Fu Jianbai truly realized the profound meaning of the phrase "only if you can be lovesick, you will be lovesick".
And this unstable but unspeakable love xΓΉ, at the moment when he hugged Xu Lijuan, when he smelled the familiar sweet and unknown fragrance of flowers, it was like a wanderer who had been wandering for a long time finally returned to the quiet harbor, not only the restless heart became calm, but even those tired and sad feelings that he had not noticed were gone, replaced by a burst of irresistible warmth from the deepest part of the heart.
Xu Lijuan, who was caught off guard by Fu Jianbai, only felt that the tip of her nose and throat were full of soap mixed with a man's unique masculine faint breath, and her body was also instantly stiff.
However, when Xu Lijuan noticed Fu Jianbai's stiff body, which was absolutely not losing herself, and the heartbeat that was jumping cheerfully and louder and louder, she immediately grinned silently, and her body subconsciously relaxed, and reached out to hug Fu Jianbai back, and rubbed Fu Jianbai's chest lightly with her cheek, and found a comfortable position in Fu Jianbai's arms by the way.
