Chapter 362 As expected of someone surnamed Lu, the grandfather and grandson both had their eyes on its offspring!
Qiao Manman's words got everyone busy.
What should have been a simple welcome feast of noodles turned into a nightmare because of the presence of several elderly men. Aunt Zhou had to go to the garden to pick fresh vegetables and worry that the food might not suit everyone's taste.
Those old men, too embarrassed to just freeload, felt awkward about it.
When you get home, you ask the younger generation or the nanny to prepare some meat and send it over, but who has that much meat? You have to save every last drop.
"Dad, it's much better to eat at home. Why bother with all that fuss?"
"You don't understand, the food at Old Lu's house smells amazing! Oh my, the smell is so enticing, it makes my mouth water!"
The family didn't believe him, but they didn't dare to disobey the old man, so they could only do as he said.
Once everything was ready, I went to the Lu family's house with curiosity to deliver the food. Before I even entered the house, I was overwhelmed by the aroma.
"What's that smell? It smells so good!"
Ji Liangcai pushed open the door and entered the room: "Old Lu, you haven't been cheating on me, have you?"
Lu Qihua snorted coldly: "Am I that kind of person?"
In fact, I did try it.
Let's not even talk about tomatoes; we eat them every day, so they're nothing special.
But eggs are different! In all his life, he'd never tasted an egg that left such a lingering fragrance in his mouth. My God, amazing!
He immediately regretted inviting everyone over for dinner, but Qiao Manman comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, leave it to Xiaohua. Come on, Huahua, give Grandpa a performance!"
Little Flower flapped her wings and laid two eggs on the spot, which exhausted the chicken.
Qiao Manman quickly fed it mutated wheat grains and shooed it to the third floor to rest.
I asked Aunt Zhou to stir-fry the eggs and put them in the tomatoes, but the old man stopped me: "No, these eggs are so delicious, save them for Xiao Yuan to help him get better!"
"No need, no need. Little Flower falls every day, we have plenty at home. Since you've already mentioned it, please have everyone try it and enjoy a happy meal together."
The old man pursed his lips, turned his head to tease Big Yellow: "This dog is good. It made a contribution as soon as it got on the train. It's a promising military dog!"
"You already know? Big Yellow grew up in the mountains, he's amazing at hunting!"
"Yes, you just left the police station and they notified Commander He."
When Brigade Commander He told me, I didn't quite believe it. But after seeing Big Yellow, I understood that what they said was true.
Lu Qihua patted the dog's head: "It's a good dog. If you're going to breed it, you must leave me a puppy!"
Big Yellow shrank back in shock, thinking to itself, "What kind of people are these? It's just a simple dog, and they're already thinking about finding it a wife."
As expected of someone surnamed Lu, both grandfather and grandson were thinking about its offspring.
To give the guests a better experience, Qiao Manman locked Da Huang on the third floor, took out a piece of cured meat from her luggage, and asked Aunt Zhou to cook it.
Once everyone was seated, several dishes were already laid out on the table, including Mapo Tofu, stir-fried broccoli, garlic sprouts with cured pork, and loofah and egg drop soup.
The others brought home-style dishes, such as stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, eggplant with minced meat, and one person even brought a pot of mixed rice.
Qiao Manman went upstairs, took a small bottle of wine, and each of them took a sip as a gesture.
With the atmosphere set, Aunt Zhou served a "feast"—a small bowl of tomato and egg noodles for each person.
As a result, everyone wolfed down the food, licking their bowls clean and treating the meat and vegetables as if they were nothing.
Still wanting more after finishing their meal, they looked at Aunt Zhou expectantly: "Is there any more?"
"We have noodles, but we're out of vegetables!"
A group of old men, whose combined age was several hundred, felt like the sky had fallen: "The best part of these noodles is the gravy, so why did you only make so little?"
"Hey, Comrade Zhou, could you please make another pot? I'll have the orderly bring you tomatoes and eggs."
The old man saw Xiaohua lay an egg with his own eyes and knew it wasn't a matter of skill. He smiled and shook his head: "There's so much food, we can't let it go to waste. Eat quickly, it'll get cold!"
We're all respectable people; we can't beg for food. He chuckled, picked up his chopsticks, but his thoughts were still on the tomato and egg noodles he'd just eaten.
Qiao Manman ate a little something and then got up to prepare tea. This time, she didn't use green tea, but dried flower petals from her spatial storage, which still shocked everyone.
"I didn't know you could drink it like this! You can use any flower as tea?"
"No, generally we use forsythia, lotus, peach blossom, rose, chrysanthemum and the like to make tea!"
Ji Liangcai wanted to ask for some, but then felt he was being greedy. The words rolled around on his lips a few times, but he didn't say them.
After dinner, they drank tea, chatted, and then the group left.
Before leaving, he said, "Where's your dog? It's so clever. You must save one for me when you have puppies!"
Lu Qihua glared and puffed out his beard: "Let me get in line first, then we'll talk about anything else!"
"Okay, okay, let's go back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Susu returned from outside, looking travel-worn.
After exchanging pleasantries with the old men and seeing them off, she looked at her son with a pained expression and asked, "How did you get hurt like this?"
Your grandfather said the missions were dangerous, but how could they be this dangerous? Is there no one else in the team to assign you so many dangerous tasks?
Xie Susu lowered her voice, not necessarily needing an answer, but just wanting to vent her dissatisfaction.
The old man explained, "Before assigning tasks, the leaders will conduct a comprehensive assessment of their abilities."
The fact that Xiao Yuan was assigned to the task shows that he is more capable than his comrades and is very likely to come back alive.
Parents, even grandparents, certainly hope that he will be safe and sound and have a smooth life.
But our family is different. Jingchuan and I are soldiers, and in high positions, so we have to set an example.
If you refuse a task because it's dangerous, not only Xiaoyuan, but also Manman and you will be implicated.
After saying that, he patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder: "With great power comes great responsibility. Don't blame Grandpa for not helping you out."
Lu Yuan laughed: "I'm really good now, really!"
"Yes, yes, yes, so powerful that he's disfigured, isn't he afraid Manman will dislike him!"
Lu Yuan touched his nose: "Grandpa Qiao will help me get treatment!"
Speaking of this, the old man became interested: "You lad, you're quite capable, actually marrying the granddaughter of the famous Tao family!"
"If it weren't for Xiao He covering for you, you wouldn't be getting a promotion anytime soon!"
"Even if Uncle He doesn't help, I still have to work my way up in seniority. Maybe in the future, class background won't be the sole determining factor!"
"Maybe!"
Lu Qihua also felt that the current situation was somewhat overcorrected, but many things cannot be decided by one or two people alone.
This involves a change of regime and the division of interests, making it very complex.
"Come on, let's talk about the old buddy, and that fertility pill you guys have!"
Lu Yuan took Qiao Manman's hand and led the old man to the study. The three of them discussed the current situation and future plans, and the old man offered many suggestions.
Two hours later, I took a box of Longjing tea, a box of herbal tea, some health-strengthening pills, and Qingsi Sanqian shampoo to the big boss to "file a report".
The response was, naturally, full support.
"You wouldn't believe it, my Xiaoyuan brought back a really interesting dog this time..."
Even the top leader was tempted: "Little Wang, who's on duty at the gate, needs a companion. I think Big Yellow would be a good choice!"
