Chapter 20: A Cozy Dinner
Lu Xiaoman followed his wife into the house, the decoration of the house belongs to the simple and beautiful style, the space layout, color matching are very exquisite, atmospheric and elegant.
The simple entrance hall does not have any superfluous decorations, and the greenery and decorative paintings in the house decorate the whole room with vitality. There is no complicated lighting type in the home, there is no complex carving, and the dark coffee color solid wood floor is slightly bright under the reflection of the light, not bright or dark, which looks very warm.
"Xiao Man, you can sit casually! Our family doesn't pay so much attention to it. You can be casual. Madame said.
"Well, okay, Auntie. ”
"Son, go get a drink for Xiao Man," the lady patted her son on the shoulder dotingly.
"Do you want coffee, or fruit juice?" Xiao Heng asked.
"Let's ask for juice!" Lu Xiaoman felt very embarrassed, he would have done a good thing, but he would have met a handsome guy, and it didn't matter if he didn't know him. But it's still a half-ripe, so it's hard to be a peach blossom recently.
Xiao Heng picked up the juicer, peeled the oranges, and divided them into petals one by one, which was very skillful and serious.
"My son looks very handsome when he is serious. Madame changed her elegant posture just now, pulled Lu Xiaoman and said with her eyebrows winning, she didn't look like a wealthy lady, but like an ordinary mother who was showing off her children.
"Well, it's very handsome!" Lu Xiaoman looked at Xiao Heng, who was busy, and replied politely.
"Then tell Auntie, does Heng'er have anyone you like?" Mrs. whispered in Lu Xiaoman's ear.
"Auntie, I really don't know about this. Xiao Heng and I have just known each other. Lu Xiaoman said truthfully.
"Oh! That's right. Madame said.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Lu Xiaoman was confused.
"My stupid son has been a bit abnormal lately, often giggling, and I guess there must be someone he likes in this stuffy gourd. Madame deliberately lowered her voice.
"Auntie, you don't mean me, do you? It wasn't possible, we just had one meal together. Lu Xiaoman was busy arguing.
"You've eaten together? My son never eats alone with girls. "Madame, this typical gossip mother.
"No, no, no, Auntie, not alone, but with other friends. Lu Xiaoman hurriedly explained.
"What are you talking about?Mom, you're gossiping again, aren't you?" Xiao Heng handed the juice to Lu Xiaoman, and also gave his mother a cup.
"No, son, I'll talk to Xiaoman. "Don't believe me.
"I don't know you yet, it's the first time someone comes to our house as a guest, don't you frighten them?" Xiao Heng said.
"Alright! Mom won't say anything. Madame pouted at her son.
"Auntie, you have a good rest, I'll go back," Lu Xiaoman got up after drinking the juice and wanted to leave.
"Don't, Xiao Man, stay for dinner. "Our aunt's cooking is delicious. Mrs. pulled Lu Xiaoman's arm and said.
"No, Auntie, is my mother still waiting for me?" Lu Xiaoman said.
"It's okay, you call your mother, and I'll ask Heng'er to send you back when it's late." Mrs. pulled Lu Xiaoman, feeling very affectionate, like treating her own daughter.
"Let's stay and eat, it's rare for my mother to be so happy today. Xiao Heng said to Lu Xiaoman.
Lu Xiaoman really couldn't refuse their enthusiasm, so he had to stay.
She sent a message to her mother: "Mom, I'm outside, I do have something to do today, I'm fine now, don't worry, I'll go back to the hospital after dinner." Then she turned the phone to silent, she knew her mother's personality too well, and she had to call until her phone was turned off.
Mrs. pulled Lu Xiaoman to chat with each other, just like a friend who had known him for decades, plus this Lu Xiaoman was born a self-acquaintance, and the two chatted enthusiastically for a while.
"Xiao Man! I went to worship the Buddha yesterday, chanted sutras, and then asked for a marriage sign for my son, saying that I would meet her recently. Could it be you, the person you said the Buddha was referring to?"
"Auntie, this ......... Should...... Wouldn't it?" Lu Xiaoman said.
"Mom, you're talking about your Buddhism again, which girl still believes in this now?" Xiao Heng said.
"Son, don't say that, you can not believe it, but don't blaspheme the gods, I always believe that everything in the world is connected by fate, otherwise why did Xiaoman send me home, but you two know each other?"
"Yes! Yes, it's fate! You just want to sell your son out quickly, so that you can live a two-person world with my father, right? Xiao Heng took out the active oil edge to help his mother apply medicine to her ankle, and said jokingly.
"Stinky boy! Mom is reluctant to kick you out, Mom just wants you to find a girlfriend to be at home with Mom every day, just like Xiaoman, how nice is that. Madame said and did not forget to glance at Xiao Man.
Lu Xiaoman was blushing by his wife's messy mandarin ducks.
"Okay, Mom!" Don't joke with Xiaoman, everyone is embarrassed. Xiao Heng looked at the embarrassed Lu Xiaoman and pushed his mother.
At this time, the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in, dressed very carefully.
He looked at Lu Xiaoman and said very kindly: Yo!
"Well, Dad is back!" Xiao Heng went over to take his father's clothes.
Lu Xiaoman hurriedly stood up and greeted: Hello uncle!
"Sit down!" the man said with a smile.
At this time, the aunt who cooked brought all the meals to the table, a large table of delicious food, and Lu Xiaoman was dazzled to watch.
She probably counted, there are almost thirty varieties, this rich man is really a waste, there are only five people with her aunt, can you eat it all?
"Xiao Man! Come on! Eat!" Madame pulled Lu Xiao Man to sit down.
"She is Xiaoman, a friend of Heng'er. Madame said to the man.
"Yes, Heng'er rarely brings friends to the house. ”
"Xiaoman, eat quickly, you're welcome! The man said with a smile, then secretly took out the liquor in the wine cabinet and secretly poured a little into his wine glass, but unfortunately was seen by the busy lady. The lady pretended to clear her throat, and the man pitifully poured out the wine from the glass.
Xiao Heng smiled and said nothing, Lu Xiaoman also felt that this family was really interesting, she had also seen a lot of rich people, the family was always cold, and she never felt family affection. is like Su Yan's environment since he was a child, but the family lives a warm and harmonious life.
The meal was also enjoyable, and the enthusiasm and approachability of his uncle and aunt made Lu Xiaoman not feel restrained, just like an old friend party, he was very happy.
After dinner, it was really dark.
Lu Xiaoman said goodbye to her uncle and aunt and wanted to leave, and Mrs. hurriedly urged Xiao Heng to send her.
Although she repeatedly refused politely, saying that she would be there after a while to make a bus, so as not to trouble Xiao Heng, but they insisted that Xiao Heng send it, and she had to get into Xiao Heng's car.
"Where is your home?" Xiao Heng asked.
"Then you can take me to the hospital. Lu Xiaoman said.
"Why do you want to go to the hospital, are you uncomfortable?" Xiao Heng asked with concern.
"No!" Lu Xiaoman downplayed everything that happened a few days ago and told Xiao Heng about it.
Xiao Heng was taken aback when he heard this: "I was on a business trip a few days ago, and I only came back today, I didn't even know that such a big thing happened, and I didn't go to visit you." ”
"It's okay! I'm in good health!" Lu Xiaoman said.
"I knew that your body hadn't recovered yet, so I shouldn't have let my mother keep you so desperately. ”
Thank you Uncle and Aunt for your hospitality. Lu Xiaoman really regarded Xiao Heng as a friend this time, and she felt that the children who grew up in such a family would not have bad conduct.
