The two sat in the bookstore for a while, and when the time was about right, they got up and left the bookstore, walked along the sidewalk, turned a corner, and arrived at the main entrance of Hexiangju.

Walking into the hall, I met my relatives with a smile on their faces, each of them carrying a small gift in their hands, talking and laughing and walking forward, as if taking care of Zhou Zhao, which made them very satisfied, and their eyes were neatly placed on Commander Lu who was walking in front, and no one noticed the two brothers and sisters standing in the center of the hall.

Commander Lu walked in front, tilting his head to talk to an elderly man, his eyebrows were lowered, his expression was serious and serious, and he occasionally nodded his head a few times, showing respect for his elders in his gestures.

The first to see them was Ruan Yuhe, who smiled softly and called from a distance of half a meter: "Yu Chuan, Xiaoyi." ”

Lu Yuchuan pursed his lips and smiled, pulled out his hands in his pockets, walked forward, hugged Ruan Yuhe gently, and whispered in her ear, "Mom, I'm back." ”

Ruan Yuhe pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled, gently patted Lu Yuchuan's stiff back, looked back and forth on him with loving eyes, and raised his hand to stroke Lu Yuchuan's cheek: "What else do you say is heavy, you see that you have lost a lot of weight." ”

Everyone stopped following Ruan Yuhe's soft call, their eyes were withdrawn from Commander Lu, and turned to Lu Yuchuan, who was standing in front of Ruan Yuhe, a little surprised.

Lu Yuchuan lowered his head and smiled lightly, perceiving that the eyes around him were staring at him hotly, and his face did not loosen, and he said softly to Ruan Yuhe: "Mom, you have wronged me, I am not thin at all, but I am not fat." ”

Ruan Yuhe was amused by him, patted the back of his hand, and said angrily: "You know the poor mouth." ”

Lu Yuchuan grinned, revealing a mouthful of brilliant white teeth, his eyes flashed brightly, and he was still a young man who was still young after fading the package of maturity.

After greeting Ruan Yuhe for a while, Lu Yuchuan walked a few steps sideways to Commander Lu, stopped in front of him, smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked serious, and stood up straight, steady and mature.

"Dad." Lu Yuchuan made a standard military salute gesture at Commander Lu, his eyes were at eye level with Commander Lu, and his eyes were resolute.

Commander Lu said "um", patted him on the shoulder heavily, and showed a happy smile on his face that had always been unsmiling, and said lightly: "I'm back." ”

"I didn't disappoint you this time, and I came back with a glory." Lu Yuchuan's serious expression only lasted for five seconds, and then he loosened, with a proud smile on his face, but he didn't get carried away, and the size of the pinch was just right.

No matter how many years the father and son have been apart, there are not many words when they meet, Lu Yuchuan is good at figuring out people's thoughts, knowing that some of Commander Lu's words are only suitable for saying in secret, except for topics related to the army, he can't find anything to say in front of Commander Lu.

In addition, although Commander Lu is silent, he only talks about topics related to politics, and does not seem to care much about his family, but in fact, this resolute and resolute man is just not very good at communicating with his family.

She clearly saw that the smile flashing in Commander Lu's eyes carried her father's love.

After the two of them finished negotiating, Ruan Yuhe stepped forward and introduced Lu Yuchuan to a group of distant relatives behind him. I haven't been going back and forth for a few years, and few people know Lu Yuchuan, and this brief introduction is clear to everyone.

"I haven't seen him for a few years, Yu Chuan has grown so big, and he has become more and more mature and stable." It was the aunt who was showing off her diamond ring who spoke, and walked up to Lu Yuchuan in a few steps, and said with a smile.

"Hello Auntie." Lu Yuchuan quietly took a small step back, widened the distance between him and his aunt, and frowned almost inaudibly, as if he was choked by the smell of perfume on his aunt's body. However, the other party is an elder, and it is not appropriate to do anything out of the ordinary on the occasion, so I have to endure it.

"Hehe, how old is Yu Chuan this year? Do you have a girlfriend? The aunt bent her eyebrows, raised her hand with the diamond ring to cover her lips and laughed a few times, taking the opportunity to inquire more about the advantageous information.

The rest of the aunts and aunts saw that this resource had been snatched by her, and they all stepped forward to surround Lu Yuchuan, first boasting violently, and finally the topic was unified: Do you have a girlfriend? How about not having an aunt introduce you to a good girl?

Zhong Yi looked at Lu Yuchuan, who was surrounded by seven aunts and eight aunts, and mourned for him for three minutes in his heart, with a sympathetic expression.

This kind of thing will happen to him sooner or later, who made him the son of the Lu family, his father is an officer, and his mother's family is huge, how many people want to climb this relationship and squeeze into the upper class, and the only way to do it is to marry.

It is nothing more than the most direct commercial marriage.

Lu Yuchuan had a polite smile on his face, and he was polite to the elders, so that people couldn't find any thorns. A few sentences directly expressed that he still had to think about his studies first, and as for emotional problems, he waited until he came out of society and was thinking about it. Although it was direct, it didn't flash the face of those aunts and aunts, and put a lot of gold on their faces, happily praising Lu Yuchuan to Ruan Yuhe for being very sensible, and it was really her blessing to have such a son.

Shaking hands with a few elders one by one, the group walked out of Hexiangju, Ruan Yuhe called a few taxis in advance to stop outside the restaurant, sent a group of relatives into the car, watched the car disappear into the vast night, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The black SUV slowly stopped in front of the restaurant, and the driver got out of the car, walked around from behind the buttocks, and respectfully opened the rear door.

Ruan Yuhe picked up the black coat on his arm, put it on for Commander Lu, tidied up the collar of the coat, and said softly: "Yu Chuan just came back, you put on this face to show him, don't forget, he is now your son, not your little soldier." You father and son haven't seen each other for half a year, so find a time to have a good chat. ”

"Are you going back to Mom's or come back to the hotel with me?" Commander Lu loosened his bow tie with one hand, took out his mobile phone with the other to check the received message, and frowned slightly.

Ruan Yuhe raised his eyes and glanced at his slightly furrowed brows, put down his hand, and asked, "What's the matter, there is something to deal with again?" ”

Commander Lu closed his mobile phone, slid into his coat pocket, bent down slightly and raised his legs into the car, and turned his head sideways to Ruan Yuhe outside the car door and said: "I still have some things to deal with, go back to the hotel first, Mom remember to say it, so as not to worry her old man." I'll send you and the kids back. ”

Ruan Yuhe smiled lightly and responded softly: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll drive them back first." You've also drunk a lot of wine today, so go back and have a good rest, and you'll be dealing with business tomorrow. ”

Commander Lu said a faint "um", turned his head to the driver and said, "Let's go." ”

The driver closed the door, opened the driver's door and sat down, the engine started, and the car drove away from the door of the restaurant.

Ruan Yuhe retracted his gaze, looked at the two people standing aside, took out the car keys from his handbag, and said, "Let's go, I'll send you home first." Yu Chuan, you should be tired after a day's train ride, rest well, and visit your grandmother with Xiaoyi tomorrow. ”

Lu Yuchuan shrugged his shoulders indiscriminately, "Hmm." ”

Ruan Yuhe took out the car from the garage and parked it on the side of the road, Lu Yuchuan opened the back door, and when he liked to sit in the car, he was the last to get in the car and closed the door.

The car sped all the way up to the viaduct.

Until the car stopped in the alley of the ancient city, after Ruan Yuhe put them down, he drove away without following them.

Push open the gate of the courtyard, walk through a cobblestone path, walk into the courtyard, the miserable white moonlight is projected in the courtyard through the faint clouds, and the shadows of the trees are swaying like ghosts reflected on the walls, which is a little terrifying.

Lu Yuchuan carefully looked at the scenery in the courtyard by the moonlight, as if he was in a different world, back to his childhood, laughing and playing with Zhongyi in the small courtyard, grandma looked at them with a kind smile, and turned to water the flowers and plants planted in the courtyard.

Everything is still the same as it was remembered, nothing has changed. A few new plum trees are planted on the side of the wall, it is in the middle of winter, there are small yellow flowers blooming between the bare branches, the cold wind blows gently, and the courtyard wafts with the faint smell of plum blossoms.

"Brother, what are you doing in a daze?" Zhong Yi pushed open the door of the living room, raised his feet and was just about to step in, when he found that Lu Yuchuan was standing in a daze in the courtyard outside the courtyard, and called him lightly, his figure had already flashed in, and he groped on the wall for a while to turn on the light.

Zhong Yi walked to the coffee table, poured himself a glass of warm water, just took a sip, and heard the sound of the door closing, Lu Yuchuan walked to the sofa with his military bag, put it under his feet, took off his heavy down jacket and put it on the back of the sofa.

Zhong Yi put down the water glass, poured him a cup and handed it over, raised his feet and left the living room, walked into his room and took out a quilt, and put it on the sofa: "Hehe, brother, I will wronged you on the sofa tonight, and I will clean up your sleeping room tomorrow." ”

"I'll do it myself, you go to sleep." Lu Yuchuan pulled the quilt from her hand, shook it off and spread it on the sofa, his movements were extremely agile, and he was stunned for a while.

"Hey, how's it going, awesome." Lu Yuchuan smiled whimsily, and showed the stack of "tofu cubes" like Zhongyi, Zhongyi yawned, and said as he walked: "Brother, good night." ”

In the early morning, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Zhong Yi was woken up by Lu Yuchuan from his sleep, and he was helpless to put on clothes and accompany him to go for a morning run.

The winter morning in the ancient city is a little quiet, there is no annoyance and noise like the small city, the air is filled with a faint cold smell, and the aroma of porridge wafting from the unknown porridge shop instantly arouses the taste buds of the favorite.

The two of them walked around the alley a few times, and found the porridge shop hidden in the market along the porridge incense, there were several small wooden tables placed outside the door, and a few guests drinking porridge sat on a table and chair, nodding from time to time and praising the boss's good craftsmanship.

"The nose is really smart, you can find it by smelling it." After running a sweat, Lu Yuchuan picked up the towel around his neck and wiped the sweat on his forehead, panted slightly and sat down in front of the small wooden table outside, glanced at the name of the porridge shop casually, and read softly: "Yuxiangzhai." The name is quite elegant and chic, but I don't know ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the boss serving two bowls of hot porridge. The boss rubbed his hands, smiled and said, "I can't guarantee anything else, just my porridge, no guest said it was not delicious." Slow to use. ”

"Thank you." Lu Yuchuan looked a little embarrassed, picked up the spoon and scooped it up, blew the hot air into his mouth, and couldn't stop after tasting it.

"The proprietress was so nice, she gave me a dish of home-made pickled side dishes." Zhongyi held the side dishes on a small white porcelain plate in his left hand, and Xiaolongbao in his right hand, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Lu Yuchuan praise the craftsmanship of this porridge shop again and again.
