Chapter 82 Visit
Lu Tu and Long Lanxiang opened the door and walked out. There was no one in the living room, and the crowded room seemed very empty at the moment.

"Huh, they're all gone?" Long Lanxiang stretched her waist, her graceful figure was completely visible, and a touch of fair skin was revealed at the hem of the skirt.

Lu Tu reached out and wiped her waist, and said with a smile: "Then let's cook, do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

Long Lanxiang was a little annoyed by his actions, stretched out her hand to pinch him angrily, and said angrily: "What kind of gathering? No gathering! What are you doing, making people feel uncomfortable even stretching their waists?" .”

Lu Tu smiled and dodged into the kitchen. Seeing that Long Lanxiang was still relentlessly chasing after him, he simply stood still and let her pinch her, grinning in pain, begging for mercy.

After she let go, Lu Tu leaned over again and quickly kissed her on the cheek, making her drool all over.

Long Lanxiang gave him a disgusted look, raised her hand to wipe it, then opened her hands, rubbed her body into his arms, and the two hugged together.

Wu Lianhua walked into the house from the outside with a happy face.

She just sent her sisters downstairs, although she tried to persuade them to stay, and wanted everyone to eat before going back, but everyone needed to go home to cook and take care of the life of the whole family, so she declined her kind invitation and made an appointment Let's meet again next time.

The bedroom door was opened, and there was no one in the living room. Wu Lianhua turned around the shadow wall and walked to the kitchen. When she saw Lu Tu hugging each other and gnawing non-stop, Wu Lianhua couldn't help feeling her eyes hurt.

She scolded: "Aren't you cooking? The baby is hungry!"

The two looked over upon hearing the sound, and hurriedly separated, with embarrassing expressions on their faces.

Long Lanxiang slapped Lu Tu reproachfully, then straightened up her clothes as if nothing had happened, and walked to the stove, ready to take out the ingredients from the plastic bag and start cooking.

Wu Lianhua said to Lu Tu: "Xiao Lu, you go cook, I have something to say to Lan Xiang."

After finishing speaking, she dragged her daughter into the room and closed the door behind her.

Lu Tu touched his nose and secretly smiled wryly in his heart.

This is really embarrassing, who would have thought that the mother-in-law would come back suddenly at this time?

He stepped forward to take over from Long Lanxiang to organize the dishes. Since there is no dinner party at night, there is no need to cook so many dishes. Put all the chicken, duck, eggs and meat in the refrigerator, leaving only fish, bacon and some vegetables as the main course for dinner.

Lu Tu moved very quickly. It took more than half an hour to prepare three bowls of dishes and a bowl of soup: fried bacon with garlic sprouts, braised fish, stir-fried cabbage, and egg meatloaf soup.

There was a small lamp on the desk in the room, and Lu Peng was sitting on a chair and was concentrating on his homework.

Lu Yan drank the medicine and sweated all over, her body was almost recovered, and her usual mental vitality was restored.However, Lu Tu was worried about going out and catching the cold again, so he did not agree to let her go out to play.

So she ran back and forth between the living room and the kitchen, asking her father to feed her from time to time, and she was very happy to play alone.

It wasn't until the egg and patty soup was stewed that Lu Tu filled a bowl for her first, and then she sat quietly at the dining table, holding the spoon while blowing on her cheeks, and sipping the soup in small sips. is satisfied.

Compared with when Long Xiugui was here, the atmosphere at home didn't seem to have changed a bit.

Wu Lianhua and Long Lanxiang opened the door and walked out of the room.The expressions of the two were not very good-looking, and it seemed that there had been some disputes just now.

Lu Tu set the table and chopsticks and cast a questioning look at Long Lanxiang. Seeing that she just shook her head and said nothing, she stopped asking and said with a smile, "Let's eat."

He walked into the bedroom, put his arms around Lu Peng's shoulders, rested his chin on his little head, glanced at his homework, and said pretending to be serious: "Well, it's ok, young man, this is almost finished, right? Good job! "

Lu Peng shrank his neck and said with a chuckle: "Oh, Dad, don't bother me, let me finish writing these two words, and it will be ready soon!"

Lu Tu laughed, straightened up, reached out and stroked his hair, "Okay, then I'll get you some soup first."

As soon as he filled the soup, Lu Peng ran out bouncing around.

The family sat around the table, enjoying dinner quietly and comfortably.

Wu Lianhua was very silent, except for occasionally picking up a few chopstick dishes for the children, she hardly spoke.

On the contrary, Long Lanxiang acted like a normal person, holding her mobile phone while eating, smiling from time to time, and constantly sending messages and chatting with people.

Lu Tu didn't care about her, he just played a game of eating competition with the two little guys, took a bite of the rice and chewed it ten times, to see who could cook it faster and better.

After dinner, Lu Tu's family of four went out, intending to visit Long Xiugui.

Wu Lianhua didn't care about this, she also made an appointment and was about to go out to talk to someone.

Lu Tu turned off the lights and closed the gate, and the family walked out along the corridor.

Dadi Commercial City is located at the junction of Nanhua Road and Hongqiao Middle Road. It is a commercial area. The shops along the street mainly sell all kinds of branded clothing, home appliances, mobile phones and other commodities. Inside are some businesses dealing in hairdressing, beauty, manicure and so on.

The house was rented by Ma Caiyun, just above a nail shop.

Long Lanxiang led Lu Tu and the three of them upstairs, and they saw a narrow and dark corridor with rooms on both sides.

She went to the third room on the right and knocked. The door opened quickly and a bright light shone through.

Ma Caiyun welcomed them in, and said with a smile, "Sister, brother-in-law, are you here? Long Wenwu went to the Chengbei Station to pick up the group, but he hasn't come back yet."

Lu Peng and Lu Yan shouted in unison: "Aunt!"

Before Ma Caiyun could answer, the two squeezed into the room quickly, impatiently going to play with Long Junyi.

Ma Caiyun patted their heads, responded with a smile, and called Long Lanxiang to go in together.

Lu Tu walked last, entered the room and put the milk and grapes in his hands by the wall, and looked around.

The layout of one bedroom and one living room, entering the door is the living room, and the kitchen and bathroom are facing the door.Next to it is the bedroom with the door open and the light on. It can be seen that there is no other furniture except the bed and wardrobe.

The living room is small in size and the decoration is simple—a double gray fabric sofa, a folding table, and a few red plastic stools.No TV, just a small [-] door fridge.

At this time, Long Xiugui and Long Junyi were sitting on the sofa eating.

There were two dishes and one soup on the table, stir-fried pork with chili, stir-fried Chinese cabbage and pork rib soup. There was also a glass of wine and a plate of peanuts in front of him.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Tu seemed to see how shabby he looked when he first started working in Guangzhou.

When the two brothers and sisters Lu Peng came, Long Junyi refused to eat, and struggled to get down from his grandfather's arms, revealing two small dimples, standing on the spot and jumping around, smiling all over his face.The three children played together, and the atmosphere in the room was instantly lively.

Seeing that the father-in-law looked pretty good, Lu Tu approached him with a smile and said hello, "Dad, can I have a drink with you?"

Long Xiugui shook his head, signaled him to go to the kitchen to get a cup, and said, "Drink! Go get a cup."

Ma Caiyun hurried over to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks and a cup, and beckoned Lu Tu to sit down.

Long Lanxiang carried the grapes into the kitchen. She hadn't spoken to Long Xiugui since entering the room. It was obvious that she was on Wu Lianhua's side in this conflict.

Lu Tu sat down and poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass and clinked with the old man, took a sip, put down the glass, took a long breath, and said, "Dad, the house here in Caiyun is still a bit small, how about you Why don't you stay with us at night?"

Ma Caiyun had already eaten, she stood beside her and nodded approvingly.

In the past, she only rented this house for the convenience of going to work. After she got married and had children, she did not return the house, and she has been renting it until now.

Originally, I wanted to change to a bigger house in a few days, but at this time, my father-in-law and mother-in-law had conflicts, and Long Xiugui moved in hastily, which was really inconvenient.

Originally, the house was so small that there was not even room for a bed. Even if the father-in-law lived in, he could only sleep on the sofa in the living room, but how uncomfortable it was!It would be great to be able to go back and live there!

In her opinion, quarrels between husband and wife are quarrels, but there is no need to make such a fierce fight, right?
Long Xiugui paused for a moment with the chopsticks that were stretched out to pick up the peanuts, then shook his head and said, "Why are you going back? Your mother kicked me out! I'll go back to the countryside tomorrow, so I won't be an eyesore here!"

Long Lanxiang came out with the washed grapes, bent down to let Long Junyi grab and eat, and said angrily: "You go back to the country to live, what about Junyi? Do you know how it feels to take care of Caiyun?"

Long Xiugui tried several times but couldn't pick up the peanuts, so he simply slapped the chopsticks on the table and shouted angrily: "Then how does your mother take care of me? She is my wife, and I can't even touch her? I came back at night, where is he?"

Lu Peng, Lu Yan and Long Junyi were taken aback, and looked over one after another. They forgot to eat the grapes when they put them in their mouths.

Ma Caiyun quickly stood up, led them into the room, and gently closed the door.

Long Lanxiang frowned and said, "Don't be so loud, you'll scare Junyi and the others! It doesn't matter if you speak loudly, let alone you haven't responded!"

Long Xiugui suppressed his anger, turned his head away, closed his mouth and refused to speak any more.

Lu Tu gave Long Lanxiang an unhappy look, and motioned for her to go to the room as well.

What a mess, this silly woman!
The most urgent task at the moment is to resolve the conflicts between the old couple, so as not to make the family restless and everyone to live in peace.

Home and everything are going well!understand?

What's the use of saying angry words?It's fine if you don't give them a chance to reconcile, but you just want to add fuel to the fire!Hurry up and don't get in the way of my work!
Long Lanxiang glared back at him, walked to the door, and said back, "Mom told me that she stayed at her eldest sister's house in Jishou last night, and came back early this morning by the early bus. She didn't do anything." Even if you don't want to think about shameful things, you shouldn't hit people!"

After finishing speaking, she pushed the door open and went in, closing the door with a bang.

Lu Tu stuffed Long Xiugui's cup into his hand, clinked it with him, took a big sip, and sighed, "Dad, you know that Mom has that kind of temper, the character of being soft but not hard. Fighting at the end of the bed, there is no need to put on airs, go back and subdue her, and coax her back after saying a few nice words. What are husbands and wives afraid of? As long as the words are clear, the knot in my heart will be solved. Don’t you think This reason?"

He knew that the old man was very depressed, but for the sake of the peace of the family, he could only persuade him in this way.What's more, it is normal life for elders to stand upright outside and bow their knees when they return home, so this grievance is nothing.

Long Xiugui drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, lowered his head and closed his eyes and said, "Xiao Lu, it's not that I don't want to speak nicely to her, but her heart has drifted away, I can't catch it!"

After finishing speaking, his spirit seemed to have collapsed all at once, his figure looked old, and his expression was extremely uncomfortable.Until he couldn't hold it any longer, he covered his face with his hands, sobbing and crying loudly.

Lu Tu got up quickly, stroked his back, and said comfortingly, "Dad, I don't think you can think like that! If Mom doesn't care about you, why would she stay by your side? In fact, most of the time, it's just us It's just that I can't let go of myself. This woman, no matter how old she is, depends on us men to coax her!"

Seeing the old man crying so sad, he felt very uncomfortable, so he could only comfort, comfort, and relieve him like a child.

From his point of view, the reason why Long Xiugui beat people was because Wu Lianhua didn't cooperate and became angry when he was in a hurry. In fact, the most fundamental reason was that the old man had lost confidence in his feelings. .

Once a man loses confidence in himself, it is really a terrible thing.

With his emotions out of control, no one can predict what choices and decisions he will make.A bad one will hurt the closest people around you!

Just like this time!
Lu Tu deeply realized that if the problems of the old couple were left alone, it would definitely become a nightmare for the family!Repeatedly pulling and entanglement, until everyone is exhausted, and finally walks towards strangers.In the end, even if the family stays together, there is no longer any cohesion at all.

The person who tied the bell is needed to untie the bell, and the problem of the father-in-law can only be solved by the mother-in-law.

Therefore, he tried his best to persuade Long Xiugui and promised to go home with them at night.

Long Lanxiang disdained this very much.

On the way home, she pulled Lu Tu and said in a low voice, "It's easy for you to take Dad home, but if Mom loses her temper later, don't expect me to go up and help persuade her!"

Lu Tu kissed her on the cheek and said with a smile, "Don't worry! I'm definitely counting on you. Besides you, who else in our family can persuade Mom?"

Long Lanxiang didn't expect him to be so exhausted, so she rolled his eyes at him and scolded with a smile, "Virtue!"

She thought about it again, and shook her head, "Oh, anyway, I'm not sure, if Mom gets angry, she will definitely scold me too! Really, what's wrong with letting Dad stay at Long Wenwu's place for a few days? Are you still I have to invite him back! I always say that I like to toss, and I don’t think you are much better than me!”

Lu Tu sighed, and said, "I don't want to, but for the long-term stability of the family, I can't even make a fuss if I want to!"

Long Lanxiang glanced at him, and burst out laughing, the smile was very bright!
