Mother Lu hold Gu Yixin's hand tightly.
"Why are you so thin, kid? Do you eat well recently?" Mother Lu asked worriedly.
Gu Yixin touched his stomach subconsciously. He ate a lot in the restaurant before, made his stomach bulged a little.
Gu Yixin said embarrassedly, "Sometimes my eating habits aren't that good."
He was used to overeating.
Father Lu and Mother Lu keenly noticed Gu Yixin's small movement. Their heart was joyful by seeing it.
Mother Lu persuaded, "You have to eat delicious food. Ask someone to cook it for you if there is something you want to eat. Don't be afraid to spend money. Our family isn't short of money. The key is don't hold yourself if you are hungry..."
She wanted to say that the baby shouldn't be hungry. But she hurried to stop it because she was afraid to be judged that they only valued the baby but not the daughter-in-law.
She changed her words, "You must not starve yourself."
Lu Mingshi secretly rolled his eyes.
Gu Yixin said, "I won't starve myself. I am not picky about food either."
"It's good not to be picky eaters. Unlike Mingshi, who has been picky eaters since he was a child..."
However, she remembered that Gu Yixin was even pickier when he was a child than Lu Mingshi. He only ate cabbage heart when he ate vegetables. When he ate fish, only took a small piece on the belly of the fish. Unexpectedly, the child had been grown up.
Lu Mingshi was very dissatisfied. "Mom, why are you pulling me in?"
Mother Lu glared at him. "I asked you to take good care of Xiǎo Gu before going abroad. Don't you think he is so thin now? If we didn't come back this time, we wouldn't know that this child wasn't well raised."
Lu Mingshi said in his heart, Hehe, you should squeeze his sleeves up first. It wasn't thin and slight at all, those were all the fu**ing tendons.
Hard enough to be a hammer.
Father Lu gave a light cough, cleared his throat, and looked at Gu Yixin kindly. "What does Xiǎo Gu do now? Or is it the same as before?"
Half a year ago, Mingshi told him that this kid didn't like to study and didn't want to go to college. He hated that he had to squat at home to do chores. Actually, they also didn't want to force him to do anything. It was okay to stew Sydney Tremella with rock sugar and to boil snow pear with white fungus* from now on.
T/L: Baidu said Sydney Tremella with rock sugar was good for pregnant women.
Gu Yixin nodded and answered earnestly, "It's still the same. I did moving bricks on the construction site. Sometimes I just stayed in the office to drink tea and read the newspaper. The job was very easy. By the way, today, the manager also arranged a new task for me to participate in the selection of model workers."
He looked at Lu Mingshi when he said the latter sentence. After all, it was still Lu Mingshi's company and he still had sufficient right to know.
Lu Mingshi almost squirted out a sip of tea. He stared at Gu Yixin. "Selection what?"
Gu Yixin looked at him strangely. "Model worker. What's wrong?"
Lu Mingshi felt something wasn't right. The model worker was proposed first by the manager of the county branch when he went there. He didn't expect that the engineering manager of the head office had thought the same idea.
What a coincidence.
When the two of them were talking, Father Lu and Mother Lu looked at each other dumbfounded.
What was it? What were they talking about? What construction site? What move the bricks? What model workers?
What did this have to do with our daughter-in-law? How could our daughter-in-law do such heavy work while pregnant with this so delicate body?
It must be a mistake, yup, it must be a mistake.
The two tacitly picked up the teacup and drink.
When they were still shocked, they heard Gu Yixin said, "I have eaten outside, so wouldn't have dinner for tonight."
He had always been eating at home recently, so he explained it to Lu Mingshi.
Mother Lu asked casually, "What did you eat outside?"
Gu Yixin opened his mouth, his beautiful lips opened and closed. "Yellow--"
When Lu Mingshi saw his first words, he knew Gu Yixin was going to say yellow chicken.
It wasn't late or fast, the Miraculous President Lu rushed up to block Gu Yixin's mouth.
Father Lu, Mother Lu, and Gu Yixin, "..."
The air was filled with confusion. Lu Mingshi's palm which was pressed against Gu Yixin's lips felt a little itchy.
Mother Lu said, "Mingming, what are you doing?"
Lu Mingshi said indifferently, "Oh, nothing."
Gu Yixin took away Lu Mingshi's hand. Then turned to Lu Father Lu and Mother Lu, with a stick in his mouth. He was also a little at a loss. Suddenly felt sweetness from his mouth, he took out the thing which like a stick and looked it down.
Red and white cream ball with strawberry flavor.
Gu Yixin replied, "Mr. Lu gave me a lollipop."
Lollipop.
Father Lu coughed and saw the object on Gu Yixin's palm. Mother Lu's eyes were a little fluttering. She didn't know where to put her hands, so she instead slapped the old man's hand with a dry smile.
"Ha, ha. Young people can really make a joke."
This young couple was really affectionate. In front of them, both couldn't help but wanted to show off. Just looked at them who still played each other now.
Lu Mingshi suddenly understood his parents' brain circuits, his face flushed, and despised it in his heart.
Gu Yixin felt very inexplicable. He was holding the lollipop that he didn't know where it came from. Anyway, he dismantled the wrap and licked it. Because Lu Mingshi gave it to him, so eating it was the most reasonable way.
But there were elders here. Gu Yixin knew for some elders, especially of wealthy families, were more concerned about the rules and politeness of juniors.
After all, he was in someone's house.
So Gu Yixin held up the lollipop and asked the two elders, "Uncle, Auntie, do you mind if I eat the lollipop?"
Father Lu and Mother Lu who saw his hand, said in unison, "Don't mind at all..."
In a very delicate and balanced atmosphere, the four of them finally ended the interrogation, which might be asked again at any time.
*
At night. It was time to go to bed.
Father Lu pulled Lu Mingshi to do serious conversations, while Mother Lu was responsible for Gu Yixin.
In the living room, Father Lu found the Maotai he had treasured for twenty-eight years from the wine cabinet. Lu Mingshi had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Dad, drink it, I'll..."
Father Lu was a little upset. "How often do I come back? You even don't have a drink with me?"
Lu Mingshi looked at him and was even more unhappy than him. "You still know how many you and mom back home?"
They left dashingly to travel the world, left him alone. Every time he went home, except for Gu Yixin, this little bastard, only Chen Ma, the person he could talk to.
So when Gu Yixin said he wouldn't go to university, Lu Mingshi was still a little happy out of selfishness.
If Gu Yixin left the city, he might really be alone and could only spend all his time at work as a recreation.
It was very difficult for Lu's Family to have children. He secretly tried several times to find a surrogacy but fully failed. He also didn't want to delay other girls' time for surrogacy and even more impossible to get married.
Maybe he would be so lonely all his life.
Father Lu didn't expect it so he stunned. His son, who had always been precocious and sensible, would even vent his emotions. He put down the wine bottle, a little shame flashed in his eyes.
"Mingshi, you never said these things before, we thought... Āi*."
T/L: The sound of a sigh.
Lu Mingshi couldn't control his emotions for a moment but he recovered quickly. He shook his head. "It's okay, Dad."
Father Lu and Lu Mingshi had a chat for a while. Father Lu talked about some interesting things he and his wife had encountered in the past few years. In fact, most of it had already been said in the video calls, but the elder no longer remembered it.
Lu Mingshi didn't remind him, He just smiled and listened in silence, occasionally replied a sentence or two.
Father Lu chatted enthusiastically for half an hour before taking a sip of tea then he asked about Lu Mingshi's situation.
Lu Mingshi was taken aback for a while. He thought for a while, but he didn't know what to say.
Life? Nothing new. His life had always been between company and home, occasionally traveled far away to discuss business.
There was one important thing, but he couldn't tell the truth.
When Father Lu saw him, he didn't say anything. He only thought because this young man was ashamed. He laughed and patted Lu Mingshi's back.
"Why don't you tell us what's going on between you and Xiǎo Gu? When did you start it anyway? You really hide it from both of us—"
Father Lu always knew that his son was great at sports since he was a child. If Lu Mingshi hadn't inherited the family business, he might have become a swimmer. His body condition was also very good. Therefore, Father Lu patted undoubtedly Lu Mingshi at back.
However, President Goose Lu wasn't the same as the usual President Lu. Lu Mingshi almost vomited out from the slap. He felt that he could no longer stay here. He had to go upstairs to find Gu Yixin.
He stood up hard, "Dad, I'll tell you about this later. I must go to sleep."
Lu Mingshi left in a hurry, left the only Father Lu in the room with a dull expression. In this empty room, he saw his son's back in loneliness.
After a long while, Father Lu spit out an old saying that had been used many times in ancient times.
"Marry a wife and forget your mother."
