Chapter 23
Lu Jianshe couldn't help salivating when he looked at the rich dishes on the menu.

God knows how long he has been hungry!
He is illiterate, but as long as he sees a dish that looks delicious in the picture, he will order one.

"This, this, and this, give me a copy of all of them."

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward. Xu Nan and Lu Nanzhou looked at each other, and they both chose not to speak tacitly.

After a long time, the dishes were on the table, and the waiter had just brought the first dish to the table.

Xu Nan took the chopsticks out of the wrapping paper and saw the scene in front of him.

Lu Jianshe and Jia Lili's son, Lu Jiabao, hadn't spoken when Xu Shi was at home, so Xu Nan didn't pay much attention to him.

At the age of seven, Lu Jiabao's height is nearly 1.2 meters. He is not thin. Among normal children, he should be considered overweight.

Xu Nan visually estimated that the child weighed about 120 catties.

It should be that he was disgusted that the chair was not high enough to reach the dishes on the table, and he was standing on the chair at this time, grabbing the meat on the plate with his bare hands, and his mouth was full of oil.

Xu Nan was stunned.

The waiter was also stunned. She was holding the dishes in the tray, and she didn't put it in, and she didn't put it in.

Seeing her dawdling, Li Cuiqing said displeasedly:

"You waiter, how do you serve customers?"

"What are you doing there? Hurry up and bring the food to the table. Didn't you see that my eldest grandson is starving?"

"If you keep dawdling, believe it or not, I will complain to your boss and tell you to go home and farm!"

After hearing this, the waiter hurriedly put the dishes in the tray on the table, and cast Xu Nan's eyes for help.

Xu Nan glanced at Lu Nanzhou, saw that he was also frowning, and cast an apologetic look at the waiter, signaling that she could leave.

Xu Shi was really hungry, every time the waiter brought a dish to the table, Lu Jiabao would stretch out his hand towards that dish.

When it came to the last stewed prawns, Lu Jiabao grabbed them with his hands first, but Xu felt that it was not enough, so he brought the plate to his side.

After a while, all six dishes were given to him.

Seeing this, Xu Nan silently put down his chopsticks, stretched out his hand and manually closed his mouth that couldn't be closed due to excessive surprise.

If Lu Jiabao was a three-year-old child, Xu Nan might just treat him as ignorant.

But this Lu Jiabao is already seven years old this year, this is purely a matter of education.

She turned her head to look at Lu Nanzhou, seeing him frowning and staring at Lu Jiabao, she touched him lightly with her hand under the table.

As for Li Cuiqing and the second uncle of the Lu family, they seemed to be used to seeing each other, and they had no intention of stopping it.

Jia Lili also picked up a piece of vegetables and handed them into Lu Jiabao's bowl.

As a result, Lu Jiabao didn't even look at it, he grabbed the dish from the bowl with his hands and threw it out.

Xu Nan frowned fiercely, resisting the urge to hit someone, and said in his heart, this brat is not from my family, not from my family, you have to hold back.

Li Cuiqing looked at the vegetables on the table, and glared at Jia Lili unhappily:

"What kind of vegetables are there to put in? Our family treasure doesn't eat vegetables. We are growing up, so we can't starve my eldest grandson to death."

As he spoke, he picked up the vegetables that Lu Jiabao had thrown on the table, and put them into his mouth.

Then he picked up a large piece of meat for Lu Jiabao.

Seeing this, Xu Nan touched his nose, looked at Lu Jiabao's chubby appearance, and thought that he was still hungry and thin, and he was obviously about to be fed into a little fat pig.

At this time Lu Nanzhou spoke, he first disagreed with Li Cuiqing's point of view and said:

"Vegetables are rich in dietary fiber. Eating more vegetables can promote digestion and is very good for the gastrointestinal tract."

"Eating meat without vegetables can easily lead to unbalanced nutrient absorption, indigestion, obesity..."

After hearing this, Li Cuiqing quit, cursing and saying:
"I think you're just afraid of spending money. Do you feel bad about money after eating a few of your meat and vegetables? Don't play tricks with me."

"Look at how delicious my grandson eats meat. This meat is not more nutritious than vegetables. How good is this white and fat!"

Xu Nan heard Li Cuiqing's nonsense and fallacies, and burst out laughing, pointing to Lu Jiabao who was grabbing vegetables with his hands, and asked Li Cuiqing:
"Then you also taught him the ability to grab vegetables with bare hands? Are you sure you don't need to worry about it?"

Li Cuiqing looked at Lu Jiabao who was grabbing vegetables with his hands, and choked for a while.

Of course that's not what she taught!

She tried it before, but it was useless. Fortunately, the family eats at home, and no one hates anyone.

She knew it was not good to eat like this, but it was not Xu Nan's turn to say it.

She looked at Xu Nan and said stiffly, "What's wrong? My eldest grandson doesn't suffer from eating, so you can control me!"

After hearing Xu Nan say "don't worry about it", Jia Lili also said:

"That's right, the boy's rough behavior doesn't hurt at all."

Then he said to Xu Nan in an experienced tone:

"You will know this in the society. My son's teacher has told me that there is no child in the entire kindergarten who can grab food more than him."

"Such a child is popular in society, and it is not easy to suffer!"

Jia Lili looked at her son proudly, as if saying, "Look at how amazing my son is."

After Xu Nan was silent for a long time, he whispered in a tone that only he could hear:

"Are you sure the kindergarten teacher is praising your son? It's not telling you to go home and take care of the child?"

Forget it, Xu Nan no longer wants to try to save this family whose three views are crooked.

She closed her eyes and asked Lu Nanzhou with a tired face, "Where do they live tonight?"

There is only one room and one living room in the house, and Lu Nanzhou is still sleeping on the sofa, so there is not much space left, even if it is on the floor, the house cannot sleep.

Lu Nanzhou rubbed the bridge of his nose, looked at the four people who were eating well and said:

"I can't live at home, so I can only let grandma and my second uncle's family stay in the guest house for a few nights."

...

After returning home, Xu Nan went to the kitchen and simply ordered a bowl of noodles and handed it to Lu Nanzhou.

Because of Lu Jiabao's mess, the two of them just choked on a few mouthfuls of rice.

Lu Nanzhou had to go to work soon, Xu Nan asked him to eat first, and went to clean up the smoky living room by himself.

Then Xu Nan picked up the broom and swept the watermelon rind thrown on the ground into the pickle.

Then she heard Lu Nanzhou say:

"Mom called and said that she brought us dried fish dried at home, as well as fried peanuts, melon seeds and free-range eggs, and said she made you a gift."

Lu Nanzhou saw that Xu Nan was cleaning up the house, and he couldn't sit there to eat, so he helped clean up together.

He suddenly remembered that his mother said that he had brought something for his family, and when he saw a big box at the door, he went over and rummaged through it.

But after turning for a long time, I didn't find it.

Seeing this, Xu Nan rolled his eyes, picked up half of the melon seeds and peanuts left on the coffee table in the living room, and said in a slow tone:

"Is this the melon seeds and peanuts you are talking about?"

Lu Nanzhou touched his nose in embarrassment when he saw it. He actually didn't expect things to turn out like this.

The second uncle's family came suddenly. I received a call in the office today, and I heard my second uncle and aunt say that they have arrived at the station.

He put down his work, went to the station to pick up the patient, and then hurried back to the hospital. He still had an operation to prepare, but he saw such an embarrassing scene as soon as he got home.

He picked up the cardboard box and walked to Xu Nan's side. Inside, there were not many local eggs prepared by Lu's mother.

The box was originally packed in a cardboard box and wrapped several layers with tape, but now the second uncle Lu Nanzhou and the others have already unpacked the box.

Xu Nan looked inside, only the dried fish and the "gift" that Lu Nanzhou mentioned were left in the box.

Xu Nan took out a bag that was wrapped several layers with wrapping paper. After opening it, there was a very beautiful and delicate dress inside.

Xu Nan looked at it in surprise, this should be the gift Lu's mother said to her.

Lu Nanzhou's mother used to be a female worker in a textile factory, who was responsible for making clothes. Later, the textile factory's business was sluggish and it went bankrupt, so Lu's mother had to be laid off.

The workmanship of the dress is exquisite, and the fabric used is not fresh colors such as red and green that people like nowadays, but small florals with very fresh colors.

Xu Nan liked it so much, she couldn't wait to run back to the bedroom with the dress, ready to change into it.
