At the school gate, uncle Liu Zheng was waiting for them in the car.
Lu Ze and Ji Yangyang waved to their uncle, and then sat in the back row of the car.
Liu Zheng, who was in the driver's seat, looked at his two nephews in the rearview mirror and said happily:
"Ozawa, are you getting used to being at school today? When you have nothing to do, I ask your brother to take you around the school to get familiar with the environment."
Before the person involved, Lu Ze, spoke, Ji Yangyang next to him took the lead and started talking:
"Oh, please stop talking about uncle. As soon as my cousin got into get out of class today, a lot of girls gathered around him asking for WeChat. I think he is very adaptable."
Only in front of his uncle, Ji Yangyang could show the side of his child's nature.
Lu Ze looked helpless.
Liu Zheng burst out laughing after hearing this.
"That's as it should be."
"This Ozawa is as handsome as my uncle when I was young."
"You two remember to fasten your seat belts in the back. We'll chat later when we get to the hotel. Your grandma and grandpa are waiting for us there."
...
Kyoto was obviously in the evening rush hour at this time, and the originally ten-minute drive was dragged to forty minutes.
But the three people in the car, an uncle, two nephews, were chatting happily. The uncle Liu Zheng and Lu Zechu were almost like buddies.
Come to the hotel and enter the box.
Lu Ze saw his grandma and grandpa sitting next to each other, and sitting next to the two old people was his aunt Liu Jing.
"Grandma, grandpa, aunt."
Lu Ze smiled and said hello to the elders.
Liu Jing immediately waved to Lu Ze, her eyes full of love: "Come on, Xiao Ze, sit in the middle, let aunt take a good look at you, have you lost weight?"
Grandpa and aunt were in an eager but normal mood.
At this time, a very thin grandma wearing floral clothes looked at the child beside her, seeming to think of her deceased daughter. Tears shone in the old man's muddy eyes.
Ever since he sat down, Lu Ze's right hand has been tightly held by the grandmother next to him.
Liu Jing noticed the change in her mother's mood at this time, and said softly: "Okay, Mom, we are all gathered together today to support this child Ozawa. You should also be happy."
Ji Yangyang came in and said hello to her grandma and grandpa obediently, and then at Liu Zheng's reminder, she called Liu Jing "Mom" in a low voice.
Liu Jing smiled and nodded, letting her son sit on the other side of her.
In this kind of family dinner, Liu Zheng is a well-deserved treasure.
The old boy quickly heated up the atmosphere in the box. During this period, he also teased Lu Ze about being asked to use WeChat on his first day at school.
This made Liu Jing wink hard at her inconspicuous brother.
Everyone chatted for a long time, during which the waiter came in several times and asked if he wanted to order.
Ji Yangyang's mood became even lower, and Lu Ze knew it was because there was an important person missing from today's dinner.
Ji victory.
Liu Zheng asked Liu Jing in a low voice: "Sister, did my brother-in-law get stuck in traffic on the way here? There was a big traffic jam when we came here, how about we wait a little longer?"
Liu Jing took out her mobile phone, opened WeChat and looked at the message her husband had just sent. She raised her head and whispered softly: "Shengli has a meeting at the last minute. He is in the area and can't come for the time being. Let's all eat first."
After finishing speaking, Liu Jing carefully looked at the expression of the mother beside her.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Liu's mother immediately became a little unhappy.
"As my mother-in-law, I can't even invite District Chief Ji to dinner. Do you know how long it's been since he took care of his eighteen-year-old son? Today, Ozawa, my nephew, can't even invite him to the reception banquet."
Lu Ze saw his grandfather's expression on the main seat being very unhappy.
This old couple is completely dissatisfied because of their son-in-law's neglect of the family over the years.
Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Zheng quickly came out to smooth things over: "Then let's eat first. These two children are probably hungry. Your uncle and I are here to eat for free today, so we can't treat ourselves badly."
"Waiter, bring the menu."
As soon as the younger son appeared and his two grandsons were with him, the old couple's dissatisfaction instantly disappeared.
"Let's order. Let Ozawa order more of his favorite dishes."
"Grandma's treat."
...
Everyone had a happy meal. Aunt Liu Jing asked carefully about Lu Ze and Ji Yangyang's affairs at school. Lu Ze deeply felt the sincere care of these relatives for him tonight and began to truly integrate into Xiao Huanxi's world.
After the meal, the old couple took a taxi home.
Liu Zheng drove Liu Jing and his two eldest nephews to the hotel.
The neon lights flashed all the way, and Kyoto was still bustling after nightfall. Lu Ze, who was sitting in the back row, looked at the street scene outside the window and drove quickly to the rear. Hearing his aunt and uncle talking in the front row, he felt warm in his heart.
"Sister, I looked at several communities around the school today and it doesn't feel right."
"Otherwise, I'll rent you a room in the hotel for a long time. These two children are in their third year of high school, and you and your brother-in-law have to go to work. Then there will be a waiter cleaning it for you every day, which will save you trouble."
"I didn't have much money when I got the negotiated price, mainly because renting a house is too troublesome."
Liu Jing glanced at her brother and said helplessly: "Can you just stop causing trouble for me and your brother-in-law?"
Liu Zheng could only nodded silently.
...
Arriving at the door of the hotel, Lu Ze, his aunt, and his cousin went in with their room cards. His uncle had already booked the room in advance. Lu Ze picked up his backpack and walked towards the room written on the room card.
In the elevator, Liu Jing whispered to Lu Ze: "The senior year of high school is the most critical year. Xiao Ze, if you have anything to do, remember to tell me and your uncle. Whether it's study or life, if you encounter any problems, just tell your aunt." ,do you know?"
Lu Ze smiled and nodded.
Then, he looked at his aunt beside him and said seriously: "Auntie, you must also take good care of your own health."
"My mother was always worried about you when we were at home. She said you had been in poor health since you were a child and often fell ill."
"If possible, it is best to go for regular physical examinations."
Hearing her nephew talk about such concern for her, Liu Jing felt her eyes turn red uncontrollably. This child was so considerate and sensible after such a big thing happened at home.
Liu Jing's inner emotions were a little unbearable for a moment. Her nose became sore and her voice choked up:
"good..."
"Thank you Ozawa."
"Auntie knows."
Ji Yangyang, who was on the sidelines, did not expect that his cousin cared so much about his mother's health. He began to reflect on his attitude towards his mother during this period, and he couldn't help but feel that his anger with his parents seemed a bit childish.
The motorcycle boy was silent for a long time.
