Chapter 118: Cantonese Restaurant
"Hao Hao is very good, he has always been very well-behaved and obedient, and his grades are also very good, he ......"
"Nguyen Nguyen!" Wu Lu interrupted.
"Do you like him a lot? Do you like this Hao Hao very much? ”
"Uh-huh!" Wen Ruan Ruan nodded in response.
"Then why don't you let him come to the city No. 1 middle school to take classes?"
"I... I don't know any acquaintances, so I can't get him over, and... Because I don't have a completely independent financial source, Hao Hao can only live in the welfare home in Ancheng County, no matter how I apply, the welfare home and the township government will not let me take Hao Hao over......"
Wu Lu smiled and nodded, and asked again, "Then Ruan Ruan, do you want to pick him up?" ”
"Yes, it's... I haven't done it yet..."
"Then go pick him up and let Haohao come to City A to study, the new semester has just started for less than two months, and it's still too late to transfer now."
"But... However, I haven't asked Hao Hao's opinion yet, so it's not good to decide like this..."Wen Ruan Ruan frowned lightly, and his tone was hesitant.
"What's not so good?" After a pause, Wu Lu continued: "Although City A is currently developing very well, Ancheng County is relatively speaking, it is definitely not as good as the teaching quality in the market, which can allow him to get in touch with the teaching methods in City A in advance and get used to the teaching environment here, which will do more advantages than disadvantages for him." ”
"The three years of junior high school have passed quickly, and if you are in high school, you must come to the city No. 1 middle school to study, then he will need a period of adaptation when he is transferred from Ancheng County, and it will take a while to adapt to it, and when high school is so nervous, it is better to let him feel the environment in advance." Seeing that Wen Ruan Ruan was still hesitating, Wu Lu added.
"It's true Mom, you're right, it's good to let Haohao come over in advance, but I can't stay in City A for too long, in two weeks, I will have to go to Province H for an internship, and there will be no one to accompany him at that time, I'm worried that he won't be adaptable."
"Ruan Ruan, do you think that Aunt Liu can't take care of him? Besides, with Xu Wenxuan here, Hao Hao can also ask if he encounters any topics he doesn't understand, what's wrong with such an environment? ”
"You don't have to worry about the transfer procedures, I'll take care of it for you, the welfare home...... Wouldn't it make sense to adopt Hao Hao directly in my name? ”
"Mom, do you want to... Adopt Haohao? ”
Wen Ruanruan's eyes widened suddenly, she could hardly believe that Wu Lu, who had always been calm and indifferent in front of her, and even made her feel that there would be estrangement, could say such things.
Being watched by Wen Ruan Ruan's gaze, Wu Lu felt a little unnatural, turned her head sideways, and said lightly: "Since you and Hao Hao have cultivated family affection, why can't I adopt him?" Wouldn't it be nice to let you be real brothers and sisters? ”
"Mom..."
Wen Ruanruan's voice trembled a little, she looked at the familiar face in front of her, but for the first time, she felt that her heart was hot, and the blood-linked family affection seemed to converge into an invisible thread that made her and Wu Lu tightly entangled.
She felt it, for the first time in such a real way.
Maybe Wen Ruan Ruan still had doubts about whether Wu Lu really cared about herself and cared about herself, but at this moment, all doubts dissipated with Wu Lu's words.
Mom, of course I love her.
Obviously, her eyes were red, but Wen Ruan Ruan had a smile on her face, she hugged Wu Lu's waist and nestled into Wu Lu's arms.
"Nguyen Nguyen... You... Why did you hug me all of a sudden..."
Wu Lu stiffened his neck, his voice trembled, but he was a little happy.
"I just want to hug my mother, there's no reason!"
"Alright, alright! In front of so many people... In this public, you can just hold me, but don't rub your tears on my clothes, otherwise it will affect your appearance too much! ”
Wu Lu put his hands on Wen Ruanruan's shoulders, although his tone was full of disgust, his originally cold expression brought warmth, and the corners of his mouth were curled up like nothing, contradictory and harmonious.
"Good!" Wen Ruan Ruan responded with a smile, and at the same time got up from Wu Lu's arms.
"Mom, you're right, I'm also a person who wants to work, and I have to pay attention to my appearance anytime and anywhere!"
"Hmph, that's pretty much it."
As he spoke, he looked Wen Ruanruan's face up and down again, "Fortunately, the makeup didn't spent, and it didn't rub on my clothes!" ”
"Mom~"
"Okay, after the things are purchased, let's go to dinner, I only visited this side of Century Street a few years ago, what is delicious, I almost forgot it, Ruan Ruan, you should have an idea, right?"
"Okay, I'll take you to eat!"
Tightening the bag in her hand, Wen Ruan Ruan took Wu Lu out of the Daimaru Department Store and headed for a restaurant below that she had long fancied.
It is a Cantonese restaurant, which has been open on Century Street for almost three years, and it has experienced a certain amount of baptism.
After being on Century Street for so long, it still maintains a unique sense of freshness, and there is no doubt that old customers have a certain base, and new customers who come here are a lot of people who are impressed by its taste, and finally develop into old customers.
A few months ago, Wen Ruan Ruan and Meng Hehui had a meal, and they immediately made an appointment to come back next time, but they didn't have time to eat during this time, otherwise the dinner would have been arranged a long time ago.
Of course, it is also very possible to go to Juweixuan to eat, after all, the taste there is not inferior to this Cantonese restaurant in terms of the attainment of hot pot.
"Clam soup, shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork with honey sauce, and suckling pigeon, all one, huh...... Add another portion of rice rolls, and this durian crisp, cheese and pineapple wrap for two..."
Feeling that it was almost over, Wen Ruan Ruan put away the menu and turned to look at Wu Lu, blinking his eyes.
"Mom, do you want something to eat?"
With a light snort, Wu Lu said lightly: "Order so much, it's good to be able to finish it, add more?" ”
Wen Ruan Ruan grinned and returned the menu to the waiter, "Then let's do it first!" ”
"Okay." The waiter smiled and stepped back.
"I haven't eaten with you for a while, but your appetite has grown a lot, no wonder your face is round."
Seeing that Wen Ruan Ruan was still staring at him, Wu Lu said casually.
"Mom—" she said in a slightly aggrieved tone.
"Isn't it? It is also very important to manage your body well, otherwise it will be too ugly to wear formal clothes in the future, how to attend those important meetings, and not become the laughing stock of others. ”
"It's not so exaggerated, besides, even if others look at you and think you're too fat and don't look good in formal clothes, there won't be such a face-to-face joke about you......"
"The world is so big that there are no surprises, anyway, try to eat less in the future."
Poked the pineapple bun in front of him with chopsticks, and Wen Ruan Ruan responded gently.
Under the double threat of Wu Lu's eyes and words, Wen Ruan Ruan tried her best to restrain herself, and did not eat as openly as she had gone out to eat before, but fortunately, the taste of this restaurant was really good, even if Wen Ruan Ruan ate less, but she tasted everything, and it was equally happy.
However, looking at the cheese pineapple bun in front of him, there was still half a cheese pineapple bun left, Wen Ruanruan's eyes hesitated again.
She definitely still has the appetite to eat the remaining half, but he is worried that Wu Lu will say her.
The phrase 'fat enough to become the laughing stock of others' is like a sword of Damocles hanging over Wen Ruan Ruan's head, making it difficult for Wen Ruan Ruan to walk.
Wu Lu glanced at Wen Ruanruan, put down his hand scooping the clam soup, and said: "You can eat it if you want, this half of the pineapple bun can't go anywhere, my words are just to remind you to pay attention in the future, since it has already come out, then eat happily." ”
Hearing Wu Lu's words, Wen Ruan Ruan immediately nodded, stretched out his hand to the remaining pineapple bun, and took small bites.
The crust is crispy, the bread inside is soft and delicate, and when you bite into the middle, there are small pieces of sweetheart sandwiched, which goes well with the cheese, and the taste is really wonderful.
Slowly biting Wen Ruanruan, his eyes narrowed happily.
Wu Lu on the side looked at it, covered her mouth and chuckled, her expression doting and helpless.
"Ruan Ruan, look at the cuffs of your clothes are stained with bread crumbs."
"Really?" Wen Ruan Ruan hurriedly raised his hand to see that there were indeed a few pieces of crispy shell sticking to it, Wen Ruan Ruan immediately twisted it off, but there were two small marks left on his clothes.
"Go to the bathroom and wash it, it should be able to dispose of it."
Wen Ruan Ruan nodded, "Okay, Mom, you keep eating, I'll go back." ”
"Go ahead."
Wen Ruan Ruan nodded, stood up and went to the bathroom in the store.
Fortunately, it was found in time, Wen Ruan Ruan rubbed it with water a few times, and the oil stains almost disappeared, leaving only a small shallow water stain, which should not have a big impact after air drying.
After all, this is the new clothes that Wu Lu bought for her, if she wears it for the first time because she doesn't pay attention to eating and leaves something dirty, then Wen Ruan Ruan will really be uncomfortable to death.
After drying his hands, Wen Ruan Ruan immediately went to Wu Lu's side. But around the corner on the way back, Wen Ruan Ruan saw a familiar face.
He sat at the corner near the stairs, still holding a cat in his hand, but the cat was not at all restless, and burrowed in his arms, making him a little scrambled.
Wen Ruan Ruan subconsciously took a detour, went to the other side of the corner of the stairs, walked past the carved screen, and walked in front of him.
"Xiao Ying!"
"Sister Ruan Ruan!" Lu Yingshu grabbed the cat's hand for a moment, and then grinned.
"Xiaoying, why don't you come here for dinner too?"
"Well, I'm here with my uncle."
"This cat is also your uncle's, right?"
"Yes, he has a lot of cats, but luckily this restaurant doesn't prohibit pets, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to bring them in."
The meaty cat was still moving, and it seemed that Lu Yingshu was a little uncomfortable holding it, and he never found a suitable position.
"I'll do it."
Wen Ruan Ruan said and stretched out his hands towards Lu Yingshu, Lu Yingshu did not hesitate at all, almost immediately restrained the cat, and then handed it to Wen Ruanruan.
Wen Ruan Ruan smiled and took one hand around the cat's neck, and the other hand wrapped around her belly, and the cat nested in Wen Ruan Ruan's arms like this, no longer struggling.
Looking at the cat that suddenly settled down, Lu Yingshu looked unwilling, frowned, stared at his palm for a long time, and then turned his gaze to Wen Ruanruan, and then pressed the corners of his mouth, looking displeased.
"It's Xiao Ying, you just hugged her like that, she was uncomfortable, it's not that she dislikes your hand, don't ...... like this" Wen Ruan Ruan said as she couldn't help laughing.
"It's just... It's so cute! ”
Wen Ruan Ruan subconsciously, he reached out and rubbed the top of Lu Yingshu's head, although Lu Yingshu was tall, but fortunately he was sitting, and Wen Ruan Ruan touched his head very naturally.
"By the way, Xiaoying, since you came to eat with your uncle, what about your uncle? Why isn't he there? ”
"He just went to ......" Looking at Wen Ruanruan, Lu Yingshu suddenly stopped, and only said after a while: "He's behind you." ”
