Chapter 244 I Think I'm a Little in Love with You
Smoke rose from the old courtyard, and the aroma of cooking wafted out.
My mother-in-law lives a very simple life here. There are four free-range chickens in the yard, and a big yellow dog is tied up in the kennel. Next to it is the apple orchard she built herself, which is not mature yet.
In fact, Lu Fuji is not that resistant to pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend. After all, it is just for fun and not real. But the crux of the problem is that the bad woman's family background is too good. He is afraid of being regarded as a pretty boy who lives with a rich woman. When the time comes, It was very embarrassing.
But it turned out that his worries were entirely misplaced.
Because his mother-in-law is very warm and kind to him.
I don’t think he is a pretty boy who lives with a rich woman at all.
Even his white hair was ignored.
"Are you the little deer?"
As if her mother-in-law had known of his existence for a long time, she immediately got up from the recliner, helped him into the house with a cane, and even helped him carry his things.
But he declined politely. How can a young man act like an old man and help with things?
His mother-in-law seemed to complain that he had come all the way to buy so many things, saying that since his family was not in a very good situation, he shouldn't have spent so much and should have kept the money to live on his own or to honor his parents.
Lu Fuji was stunned by this.
But he quickly realized what was going on.
Probably Chen Jing lied about having such a boyfriend a long time ago, so she made up such a persona, and her mother-in-law naturally remembered it after hearing it too much.
As for why I did that, maybe it was just to reassure my mother-in-law.
At first glance, my mother-in-law seems to be a very traditional person.
She might have been urged to find a good home.
As his mother-in-law got older, she became a bit nagging and kept him talking.
Lu Fuji couldn't help but look back at the bad woman beside him: "When did you and your mother-in-law make up the character? Why does it sound so similar to me?"
Chen Jing was a little shy and said embarrassedly: "I've been talking about my boyfriend for a year, but the character was only made up recently, probably around the time when you were promoted to the Perfect World. I'm sorry, I haven't told you before. I said, mainly because I’m afraid you won’t agree…”
Lu Fuji rolled his eyes: "I really admire you."
My mother-in-law was still chatting about the family affairs, but suddenly she stopped talking.
Turn around and go to the kitchen to cook.
"I'm going to help. You can sit wherever you like."
Chen Jing blinked and went to help her mother-in-law cook.
Medanzuo leaned against the door frame and looked at the simple environment. He said intentionally or unintentionally: "I can see that Chen Jing's mother-in-law is a little lonely living here alone."
Lu Fuji was slightly startled: "How did you tell?"
Medanzo said calmly: "Have you noticed that the small bungalow she lives in is a single-family house? It is still far away from other residents in the village. The newspapers at home are all in Chinese, and it is obvious that she does not understand it well. Language. The conditions at her home are good, and people come to visit and take care of her regularly, but there is probably no one who can really speak, so she waits at the door every day.”
Lu Fuji turned his head and glanced at the lounge chair at the door. The legs of the chair had indeed sunk deep into the soil. It was obvious that his mother-in-law usually lay in this place, waiting for her granddaughter to come back.
In fact, he could feel it when they met just now.
The joy deep in the heart of the old man.
Just at this time, there was a vague argument in the kitchen.
Lu Fuji and Metanzuo were both stunned for a moment.
I saw my mother-in-law coming out of the kitchen on crutches. Seeing that the two of them had not sat down yet, she quickly took out a rag and wiped the stool carefully. She said kindly: "Sit down, children. Wait a moment, I will prepare for today." Late dinner.”
Chen Jing chased him out of the kitchen, puffing his cheeks slightly.
That was what they were arguing about in the kitchen just now.
Chen Jing knew that time was tight and the task was heavy, so she wanted to leave quickly.
Just eat something simple.
But my mother-in-law didn't know this. She just felt that it was not the way to treat guests when they came all the way, so they started to quarrel.
Old people are always very stubborn.
Chen Jing's eyes were a little hesitant, but she pursed her lips and decided to forcefully confess to her mother-in-law. They would leave in an hour and a half at most.
"It's okay, it's still early."
Lu Fuji smiled, turned around, picked up the rag and entered the kitchen: "Let's help each other, finish cooking and finish eating early. Why are you standing there, come and do it."
Chen Jing was bitten by him again and was slightly startled.
She was a little surprised.
Lu Fuji, who had always had his own way of doing things, would actually accommodate her in this way.
"I'm not accommodating you, I just thought of my grandfather. My grandfather passed away when I was very young, but I still remember that when he was in the hospital bed, his consciousness was no longer clear, but he still didn't forget to tell me Take your medicine on time. Life and death can happen in a moment, so cherish it and don't let others down." Lu Buer knew what she was thinking, so he put down these words and went in to help.
Chen Jing was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled. His smile was like a gurgling stream in the twilight: "Who said that such a fierce man can't be delicate? In fact, he can also be gentle."
After saying that, she stood on tiptoes and ran into the kitchen to help.
Medanzo shrugged, rolled up his sleeves and went in to help.
Although the mother-in-law, who upholds hospitality, tried her best to stop it, the three of them finally did some chores. Of course, no one interfered with the specific cooking process.
Because Chen Jing said that her mother-in-law’s cooking skills are very good.
Since we are here, why not give it a try?
The mother-in-law treated the guests very seriously. She even asked her granddaughter to ask them what dishes they liked to eat, fearing that the hospitality was not thoughtful enough.
In the end, she made six dishes and one soup.
Hot and sour potato shreds, soy sauce pork ribs, stir-fried green beans with pork shreds, cola chicken wings, garlic shrimp, steamed sea bass, tomato egg soup, basically some common home-cooked dishes.
The taste is really impeccable.
Especially the steamed sea bass, the meat melts in the mouth, the taste is slightly sour and sweet, and the key is that even the bones are picked out. When eating fish, bones really affect the taste.
I have to say, it is really thoughtful.
During the meal, the mother-in-law didn't talk much, as if she was afraid that the young people would think she was nagging, and every time she talked about something, she would just stop talking.
I heard from the old lady that she has been an ordinary person all her life and has never interfered in the world of evolvers. She just lived a very simple life in the countryside, but her daughter was very competitive. She was admitted to the best university in Linhai and married into the famous Chen family.
But the grandmother always felt that the world of the Evolvers was too dangerous and too chaotic.
Even if the Chen family had such a large business, it was very likely to be gone.
It was not difficult to lose the money.
The key was that people could also be lost.
This old man could not bear it.
So she had been running her own apple garden for these years, just waiting for the day when the Chen family went bankrupt, so that she could take out some savings and leave them to her granddaughter.
In the grandmother's cognition, Chen Jing was just an ordinary female college student who inherited hundreds of billions of assets. She was involved in business struggles every day and had to be careful of kidnapping by terrorists.
And Lu Buer and Mei Danzuo were her college classmates.
They came to visit her during the summer vacation.
The grandmother was indeed very lonely in the countryside of Seoul. At this age, it was difficult for her to get in touch with anything new. Even if she could go online, she felt that the online world did not belong to her.
Her world was very small.
It was just such a small house and a small yard.
And her precious granddaughter.
And her biggest wish was to see her granddaughter marry a good family.
At this point, the grandmother glanced at the boy.
Lu Buer was eating fish and looked up blankly.
Mother-in-law said nothing and went back to the kitchen.
"What did you do?"
Lu Buer turned his head and asked, "Did I make her angry?"
"No, don't think about it. I think mother-in-law is very satisfied with you."
Chen Jing held his chin with his hand and drank the soup, smiling and said, "I just added your personality these two days. I said you are very talented but also arrogant, but I just like your arrogance, and you are very good to me. You are the best person in the world to me."
Lu Buer said nothing and lowered his head to continue eating. In fact, he has been restraining himself during this time, because the charm of this bad woman is too great.
If Lianhua hadn't existed, he would probably have fallen into it, but now because of the different positions and camps, he knows very well that he can't be moved.
Because once he is moved, he will no longer be able to control himself. God knows what he will do for this woman next, and everything will be out of control at that time.
"Ton ton ton."
Medanzo drank the soup in big gulps, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
With a snap.
There was a sound of porcelain plates breaking in the kitchen.
"Grandma!"
Chen Jing seemed to realize something and rushed into the kitchen.
Lu Buer wiped his mouth and followed.
In the kitchen, Grandma squatted on the ground, the porcelain plates were broken all over the ground, and half of the perch fell on the ground, and next to it was a bottle of broken vinegar.
The old man's hands were shaking slightly, and it was obvious that he couldn't hold anything steadily.
"Oh, Grandma, what are you doing!"
Chen Jing scolded the old man and turned to get the medicine.
Lu Buer saw at a glance that the old man had Alzheimer's disease, so he squatted down to help clean up, and couldn't help asking: "Grandma, what were you going to do just now?"
Grandma looked at her shaking hands, and seemed to be complaining about her own disappointment, and sighed: "Grandma saw that you like to eat fish, so I thought of making you another half. I didn't expect that this person is old and useless, not like when he was young at all."
Lu Buer was stunned.
In fact, he was just acting.
The old man had no blood relationship with him.
But after many years, he felt the most simple family affection again.
"Is grandma's cooking delicious?"
Grandma suddenly said.
"Yes, delicious."
Lu Buer answered seriously.
"Then can you promise grandma one thing?"
Grandma suddenly raised her cloudy eyes, as if whispering: "If you agree, as long as grandma is still alive, grandma will cook for you every time you come."
Lu Buer was stunned: "You say."
Grandma hesitated: "Can you be nicer to my daughter? It can be seen that she really likes you, otherwise she would not bring you back, but you seem... not to like her? Did she do something wrong to make you angry? You tell grandma, grandma will scold her."
After a second of silence, Lu Buer continued to lower his head to clean up the residue on the ground, and smiled silently: "Okay, grandma, don't worry. We have a good relationship, and I really like her. It's just that we quarreled because of something before, so I was a little fierce to her."
He raised his head and said seriously: "I won't do it in the future."
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law waved her hands hurriedly: "Hey, you have to be fierce! My girl is a little bit... well, perverted. The more fierce you are to her, the more she likes you. If you are not fierce to her, she will find it boring. Although I am old, I can see that she likes you to be fierce to her. The mother-in-law does not understand you young people, but as long as you are good to her in your heart, it will be fine."
Lu Buer was stunned.
Sure enough, the old ginger is still spicy, and the interest is seen.
Having said that, he could only say: "Okay, I know."
The mother-in-law smiled happily.
After a while, Chen Jing ran out of the bedroom. There was no trace of the eldest lady. She was like an ordinary little girl preparing hot water for the old man to take medicine.
Lu Buer helped the old man to sit on the sofa.
The moment they passed by, the two of them looked at each other.
They had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts.
It was as if they had really been together for many years, lying side by side in bed and watching countless sunrises and moonsets, spending beautiful springs, summers, autumns and winters, and living an ordinary and happy life every day.
At this moment, Medanzo turned his head and looked out the window, his pupils reflecting the dim sunset, and walked over and lowered his voice: "What a coincidence, the pursuers are coming."
Lu Buer glanced at him: "Can it be solved?"
Medanzo shook his head and replied: "The God of Origin is still trying to lock us, and I must do my best to deal with His gaze. But because the pressure from the military is enough, the rank of the people coming this time will not be particularly high... Although it is still very dangerous for you."
Lu Buer's pupils shrank slightly.
Medanzo didn't look like he was lying.
Fortunately, he had his protection this time.
Otherwise, the bad woman would have been in trouble long ago.
Chen Jing, who was dismantling the medicine, seemed to have felt something, and his charming eyes suddenly became cold and fierce, and the stone beads on his wrist were also trembling, obviously ready for battle.
Lu Buer held her wrist and said expressionlessly: "Mother-in-law is here, don't let her worry. You stay here with her, I'll deal with the enemy."
Chen Jing raised her head, her soft crimson hair half covering her beautiful eyes.
The eyes reflecting the twilight also reflected his face.
I don't know what happened.
She suddenly felt that the man in front of her seemed to become gentle.
"Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
Lu Buer said unhappily: "Hurry up and feed the medicine to mother-in-law."
"Oh oh..."
The bad woman at this time was a little silly, holding the medicine box and boiled water to feed the medicine to her mother-in-law. When she passed by, she suddenly lowered her voice: "Lu Buer."
The moment Lu Buer turned around, her footsteps paused slightly.
Then she heard a very gentle and charming voice coming from behind.
"I seem to like you a little bit."
