The house suddenly welcomed guests, and an aunt enthusiastically picked up a large watermelon from the kitchen, skillfully cut it into even blocks, and then carefully arranged it and put it on the table in the living room.
She said with a smile, “Oh, this day is so hot! Come on, try this watermelon to relieve the heat.
Jianye and Shuhua, come on, eat watermelon!”
Hearing the call, the two cute children immediately said obediently, “Thank you grandma!”
I have to say that these two children were taught very well by Lou Xiao’e, very sensible and polite.
Seeing the children so obedient, an aunt couldn’t stop smiling. She turned around and hurried into the kitchen, and brought out all the delicious food and drinks that could be used to entertain guests in the house, and placed them on the spacious table. While placing them, she kept calling the brother and sister Jianye and Shuhua.
Lou Xiao’e, who was standing aside, nodded to the children with a smile, indicating that they should not be restrained, even if they can eat with confidence.
Then she chatted with the first uncle and asked, “One uncle and the third uncle, are you doing well over the years?”
The first uncle replied with a chuckling, “Haha, we are just ordinary people. No matter what happens outside, it actually has nothing to do with us.
Besides, we have retired in a few years, and now we are still a good life.
But you have been developing in Xiangjiang. How is that?”
Obviously, the two old men are full of curiosity about the distant Xiangjiang.
Seeing this, Lou Xiao’e sorted out her thoughts and began to select some interesting and fun experiences to tell them. During the telling process, she also mentioned the various stories that the Lou family experienced over the years.
The old man listened quietly, sighing from time to time, and many memories couldn’t help but surge in his heart.
Especially when talking about Lou Father, a man said with great emotion:
“Dr. Lou, I met him once in the factory many years ago. Who would have thought…”
Just as the man was about to blurt out the next words, he suddenly stopped his words as if he realized something.
He frowned slightly, with a hint of embarrassment and hesitation on his face, then shook his head gently and chose to remain silent.
Seeing this, Lou Xiaoe waved her hand gently and said with a smile:
“It’s okay, a uncle. In fact, when my father was alive, he often recalled every bit of what he had in Sijiu City.
He was always very moved, his heart was filled with regrets, and he felt that he would never forget his life.I can’t see the familiar and beautiful scenery of my hometown with my own eyes.
This time when I came back here, one of the important reasons was that I wanted to fulfill my father’s last wish and bring him back to this land that gave birth to him, so that he could rest in peace. This is also a responsibility that my daughter should fulfill. “
Speaking of this, Lou Xiaoe couldn’t help but sigh softly, with a little sadness in her eyes.
But soon, she adjusted her emotions and said with a smile:
“Oh, look at me, why do you just talk about heavy topics? Come on, let’s not think about those unhappy things first, hurry up and taste this watermelon! “
The atmosphere at this time did seem a bit solemn and wrong, and the old man naturally noticed this.
So he quickly made a haha, trying to distract from this slightly depressing topic, and then talked about He Yuzhu’s recent situation with great enthusiasm.
When he learned that He Yuzhu is living a very good life, Lou Xiao’e’s heart strings, which had been tense, finally relaxed and breathed a long sigh.
Looking back on the past, if it were not for He Yuzhu’s help and support back then, the Lou family would have been unable to leave here so smoothly and easily.
Not only that, on the road to career development, Lou Xiao’e was able to achieve such brilliant achievements today thanks to He Yuzhu’s careful guidance and valuable suggestions, and became the well-known and respected “Queen of Xiangjiang”.
Therefore, deep in her heart, her gratitude for He Yuzhu has never faded.
In addition, during that young and innocent youth, Lou Xiao’e’s secret love for He Yuzhu has not disappeared after so many years of precipitation and fermentation, but has become more mellow and richer like aged wine.
