Chapter 285

The firewood, rice, oil and salt were carried directly to the trunk of the car by Liu Mang. When the father and son were carrying them, his father murmured beside Liu Mang, "I have talked with Lu Hui's parents in the past few days. We almost talked about your marriage. Alright, let's see, when will you get the license to hold the wine? We will take care of the dowry and banquet for you."

Liu Xun knew that his son's career was a bit busy, especially recently, he had just received a case, so he went out on the first day of the Lunar New Year and only came home today.

Based on what he knew about his son, the case must not be solved yet. If it is solved, he will definitely tell him that he will go home if it is not solved, and he will take Lu Hui and her parents back to the city.

They don't often go to the city, so they must settle the marriage as soon as possible while their son is around.

In this way, it saves them one thing to worry about.

After all, Liu Mang's grandfather was always talking about when he would be able to hug his grandson from time to time.

Even when he saw other children, he talked more.

Most of the young people who are the same age as Liu Mang are married and have children. Liu Mang is so good, but he is not married. Doesn't this make people gossip behind his back!
After putting the oil in the trunk, Liu Mang just felt dumbfounded.

What's the matter, he's not here for a few days, and his parents have arranged his marriage.

"Dad, I still want to wait."

Liu Mang took a deep breath. He knew that saying this would definitely make his parents unhappy, but there were some things that couldn't be done step by step. He had his own ideas.

Marriage is a must, but not now, "After I get things done with the house and Lu Hui's parents recover, let's talk about it! You know what Lu Hui is thinking about right now. On her parents, and she also wants to open a new company, there are many things to take care of, and she really doesn't care about marriage, not to mention, it's a bit hasty to talk about marriage now, and the timing is not right."

Now, Liu Mang finally understood why Lu Hui said that his parents were playing tricks.

It turned out that the parents of both parties had already decided on their marriage in private.

Liu Xun knew something about Lu Hui's plan to start a company, but he didn't know much about it. He only heard a few words from Lu Hui's parents, saying that Lu Hui was very busy and seemed to be busy planning to open a yoga studio.

"Fine!"

Liu Xun didn't want to force his son, but... he sighed, and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up, your grandpa is not young anymore, he is old, and he always looks forward to being hugged by his great-grandson."

Liu Mang's grandfather, that is, his father.

His father's health has been deteriorating over the years. Liu Mang is not around often, so of course he doesn't know the situation. Liu Xun has been watching his father's body for these years, and his appetite is getting worse day by day.

Even the teeth are getting less and less, and sometimes they go to the clinic in the town to install false teeth without telling them.

Bad teeth, bad eating, bad stomach, bad health.

Liu Xun saw a series of influences.

He knew that his father was really old.

But my father never spoke, because my father was indifferent to life and death, and he knew a long time ago that the ultimate belonging of a person is to lie in a coffin and be buried in the ground.

Speaking of grandpa, Liu Mang felt a little heavy in his heart.

Grandpa is old, why doesn't he know it.

When he returned home years ago, he had already noticed some details. In the past, the rice cooked by his parents was slightly chewy, but during the Chinese New Year, he found that every meal cooked by his parents seemed rather squishy.

Lu Hui and her parents are here as guests, so of course they are embarrassed to say anything.

At first, Liu Mang wondered if his parents had put too much water, but the meal was like this, so Liu Mang speculated that grandpa's teeth were not good.

It is normal for people to lose their teeth as they get older.

But Liu Mang clearly remembered that grandpa ate like them a year ago, the rice was sticky but not mushy, but now it became mushy, that is to say, grandpa's health became not very good this year.

"Dad, take grandpa to the city in a few days!"

Liu Mang thought about it for a while, and felt that it was necessary to take his parents and grandpa to the urban area for a checkup: "These days, I will settle down the house as soon as possible, and rent a suite at the same time, you go to the urban area to live for a while, and take your health Check to see if Grandpa is uncomfortable, prevent it if it can be prevented, and treat it if it can be cured."

Liu Mang has long understood that bad teeth will affect his appetite and body. Grandpa is old, but he is not yet 80!
There is a simple number in dentistry: the 8020 law.

That is to say, an 80-year-old man still has at least 20 teeth with the ability to chew.

Grandpa has not yet reached the age of 80, but his physical fitness is poor due to bad teeth, which shows that grandpa has problems with his teeth.

As a grandson, it is his responsibility to care about the health of his family members. Grandpa and parents have no idea about this kind of thing, thinking that when they get old, they will definitely lose their teeth.

In fact, this is not entirely true.

When you get old, you do lose your teeth.

However, it also depends on how old you are.

8020 law, grandpa is not even 80 years old!

Old fashioned, is a wrong concept.

"what!"

Liu Xun was a little surprised when he heard his son say this: "We all go to the urban area, who cares about the chickens, ducks and dogs at home, and the fish pond?"

"Let someone else take care of it for a few days."

In the village, it's not that there are no neighbors, but there are many, and everyone is willing to help. After all, it's not long-term care, but just going to the city for a few days.

"That's fine, but... I heard that it's very expensive to look at teeth, especially the dental implants, which are very expensive. A piece costs tens of thousands of yuan, and a mouthful of teeth can't be hundreds of thousands. If this is done by your grandpa I know, I shouldn't be scared to death." Liu Xun looked at Liu Mang with a complicated expression.

Hundreds of thousands, even he feels distressed.

"dad!"

Liu Mang also knows that dental implants are very expensive, "I just asked you to go for a physical examination, and it's not a waste of money. Don't think about it! Go to the hospital and see it."

"Oh! Alright!" Liu Xun nodded.

However, he hesitated in his heart. If his son really spent hundreds of thousands to treat his grandfather's teeth, once his grandfather found out, he would not make a big fuss.

Hundreds of thousands is not a small number.

Grandpa worked hard all his life, and the coffins he saved are estimated to be only a few hundred thousand.

Wash your hands and eat!

At the dinner table, everyone didn't mention Liu Mang and Lu Hui's marriage, but asked when Liu Mang would go back, how the case was going, and whether it went well.

Liu Mang didn't want his family to worry about work matters, so he just said a few words and then it was over.

"Mom and Dad, Grandpa! We're going back to the city tomorrow."

After the meal, the family sat on the sofa and chatted. Liu Mang looked at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I will rent a house in a few days. How about you take some time to play there?"

Liu Lin was of course happy when his grandson invited him to the city. Anyway, he had nothing to do at home, so he could go to the city to see his grandson's company and the house he was about to buy.

Speaking of the house, Liu Lin asked: "Buy the house quickly, the house price is getting more and more expensive every day, you can save a lot of money if you buy it earlier, you know that!"

Although he has been staying in his hometown, he still reads the news often, knowing that housing prices are getting expensive now.

The price increase is like flying, straight up, showing no signs of stagnation.

Not to mention falling.

If the price rises again, wouldn't it be a loss?

So buying one day earlier can save a lot of money.

It also saves one thing to worry about.

"Ok, I know."

Liu Mang's gaze fell on Lu Hui, "I may be very busy recently, and I have looked at a few real estate properties, but I really can't find a suitable one, why don't you go and have a look."

"Okay!" Lu Hui knew that Liu Mang had a lot to do recently.

As for the matter of her starting a company, it can't be done in a day or two. It will take more than two months for decoration, certificates, and recruitment.

"By the way, you went back to the city a few days ago. You haven't been to other relatives' homes this year. Take time to visit."

Speaking of relatives, Liu Lin thought of his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, "If you are not in a hurry to go back to the city, you can visit their old people in these two days."

"Ok!"

Liu Mang nodded. He originally planned to go back tomorrow, but it seemed that he could only delay for a few days.

A few days later, Liu Mang drove Lu Hui's family back to the city.

"Brother, you are finally back!"

After these days, Xiao Doubi finally finished watching the surveillance video. When he saw Liu Mang returning in a hurry, he called him to come out of the studio to move things, and immediately ran out: "Good news, I finished watching the surveillance video, and I also sorted out All the pictures I have seen of Mr. Ding, some pictures I can’t understand.”

"So fast!" Liu Mang was taken aback. He didn't expect Xiaodoubi to be so efficient, but he also noticed that Xiaodoubi's eyes were dark, and he obviously lacked sleep: "After eating, I will Go home and go to sleep, don't work too hard, your body is important."

These days Liu Mang is not here, Xiao Doubi sometimes watches videos, forgets to sleep and eat, and has no concept of time at all.

So these days he didn't sleep well at all, not because he wanted to stay up late, but because he forgot.

"Thank you, brother, for your concern."

After unloading some special products from his hometown and moving them to the coffee table in the studio, Liu Mang looked at Xiaodoubi and said, "Tell me where the video files are on the computer, so you can go back to sleep, have a good sleep, and come back tomorrow Let's discuss the case together."

"I put it directly on the computer desktop."

Xiao Doubi lit a cigarette, refreshing himself: "Then I'll go back first."

It is now in the early teens, and most of the stores in the urban area have resumed normal operations, and they are opening everywhere.

"Be careful." Liu Mang said lightly.

Liu Mang was not in a hurry to watch the video, but rested on the sofa and squinted for a while.

After waking up, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Hui called him and asked him to go over for dinner.

The firewood, rice, oil and salt bought from home, as well as some homemade bacon, sausage and fish, were all put in Lu Hui's house.

When I went to Lu Hui's house, Lu Hui happened to serve the food on the table, and Lu's father and Lu's mother were also there.

As soon as they came back, it was impossible to go to the hospital immediately.

"Liu!"

Living in Liu Mang's house for more than ten days, Lu's father and Lu's mother regarded Liu Mang as their own son, "Come and eat."

Of course Liu Mang was not polite, he pulled a stool and sat on it, looked at Father Lu and smiled indifferently, "Uncle! I have nothing to do at night, why don't you go watch TV for fun."

"See a movie?"

Father Lu looked up at his daughter who was sitting opposite Liu Mang, with a clear expression in his eyes, and let his daughter make a decision.

"Are you going?" Lu Hui looked sideways at Liu Mang.

"go!"

Liu Mang smiled and said, "I've been busy all this time, and I haven't had time to accompany you all. Let's watch a movie and relax tonight!"

"Then go see it! I just haven't seen a movie yet." Lu's mother has never been to a movie theater, so she also has an inexplicable excitement about watching movies.

It is indeed a rare thing to take a girlfriend's family to the movies. When Liu Mang and Lu Hui's family appear in the movie theater, since the Spring Festival has just passed, there are still not many people watching movies. a lot of.

On the contrary, very few.

It may be related to the fact that the new year has just passed, and many people's pockets are empty.

After entering the theater, Liu Mang realized that there were less than ten people in the whole theater.

When Lu's father and Lu's mother saw this scene, they were seldom surprised, thinking that Liu Mang and his daughter had reserved the place!

Before the movie opened, Lu Hui leaned into Liu Mang's ear and asked, "It's not good for you to let me watch the house alone! What if you don't like what I like?"

Liu Mang had discussed it with her before, so she knew that it was probably very rare to find a suitable room type for Liu Mang.

"Let's do this! If you can't find it, just buy two houses next to each other on the same floor, and then find a way to get through." On the way back from his hometown, Liu Mang was also thinking about this problem: "You also know that I've been very busy recently. , I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany you to watch it, the employer doesn't give you much time, and the longer the case is dragged on, the harder it is to solve the truth, it's not like you don't know, so I must hurry up."

Last time Liu Mang solved the Su Muye case, it took several months, and sometimes Lu Hui never saw Liu Mang at all.

At that time, she knew that once Liu Mang got busy, he would really not see anyone every day.

"All right!"

Lu Hui whispered: "There is one more thing I want to tell you clearly in advance. I know that your parents and my parents must have talked about the two of us, but you also know that my parents are still in poor health. I won't think about it until my parents recover, so... don't blame me for being selfish."

The health of her parents has always been a hidden danger in Lu Hui's heart.

Once it doesn't heal, she doesn't have the heart to take care of other things.

Her parents are also persuading her in private, telling her to get the certificate with Liu Mang first, and the banquet can be held later.

After all, there are too few good men, if you meet them, you should catch them immediately and never let them go.

But as a daughter, I have concerns about my daughter.

"I know."

Liu Mang knew what Lu Hui was thinking, that's why he didn't mention it for a long time, "Don't worry! I will respect your opinion, let's talk about it! I haven't confessed my love yet! Not to mention I didn't propose marriage, what's the rush! "

He knew that he owed Lu Hui a romantic confession and a warm proposal ceremony.

Marriage is a lifetime event, so don't be ambiguous, you can give the best to each other, you must give the best, and don't act ambiguously.

"As long as you know!"

Hearing what Liu Mang said, Lu Hui smiled happily, but she took the initiative to hold Liu Mang's hand. The two fingers intertwined. She was touched and said, "Thank you! Liu Mang! If it weren't for you, this I really don't know how to get through this half a year. My parents' illness may also worsen. Don't worry, I will remember your kindness to me. If you are affectionate, I will do it. I will never let you down. "

Everyone has feelings.

Especially women are more sentimental, and the more difficult the situation is, the easier it is to be emotional and miss each other's good.

Liu Mang's kindness to her, she won't say it everywhere, but she will definitely remember it in her heart, and use her actions to tell Liu Mang that she is not that kind of ungrateful woman.

　Quack quack... guessed half right!
