As the saying goes, once is born, twice is familiar, and it just so happens that Meng Chuyuan is not an introverted person.
Perhaps due to her cordial greeting, Grandma Lu had a kind smile on her face, a little more gentle than usual, and nodded kindly, "Okay."
Grandma Lu waved to her, and at the same time pushed Lu Qianling aside with her other hand, making way for Meng Chuyuan.
"Sit over here and make room for your sister-in-law."
Lu Qianling was driven away by her grandma, so she had no choice but to move somewhere else, occupying Lu Jinsen's original position, and then vacated the position next to her grandma.
"..." Lu Jinsen was forced to stand up due to the squeeze, and walked to sit on the single sofa next to him.
After catching a glimpse of Lu Qianling passing by, Grandma Lu looked at Meng Chuyuan enthusiastically: "Come, sit here."
Meng Chuyuan walked straight over and sat naturally between grandma and Lu Qianling.
Grandma Lu was visibly happy. After Meng Chuyuan sat down, her gentle eyes fell on Meng Chuyuan.
Before she and Lu Qianling came back, Lu Jinsen had already told his grandma about the general situation, from recording the variety show to Lu Qianling's off-campus accommodation, as well as her going to school today.
"Grandma, I bought you a gift." Meng Chuyuan was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
When Grandma Lu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she was a little curious: "What gift?"
"Here I am." Lu Qianling took all the gift boxes on the table and couldn't wait to send the gift boxes in the bags to grandma. "Grandma, I bought you a gift too."
Grandma Lu got the big red jewelry box, opened it with joy, and saw a jade bracelet inside. It was bright in color, smooth to the touch, and had a bit of a cold feeling.
Grandma Lu took the bracelet out of the box and placed it on her wrist. Not only was it the right size, it also looked white.
"Grandma, there is another one here." Lu Qianling handed Grandma another jewelry box and added: "Meng Xiaomei bought a pair and a cute rabbit."
Seeing that her grandma had no spare time, Lu Qianling enthusiastically took the initiative to open the remaining two boxes for her and placed them one by one on the coffee table.
"Child, why did you buy so much?" Grandma Lu raised her head and looked at Meng Chuyuan in surprise.
With a faint smile in his eyes, Meng Chuyuan said casually: "I bought one for my mother by the way."
She hadn't given any gifts to her mother-in-law yet. At that time, she saw several pretty bracelets, so Meng Chuyuan chose two bracelets of relatively good quality.
Mother Lu had just returned from a phone call with her husband from a foreign country. When she heard that she had a gift, she walked over with a smile on her face.
"Do you have mine too?" Mother Lu lowered her eyes and glanced. One of the two bracelets was darker, almost green, and the other was lighter.
Meng Chuyuan stood up, took out the shallow jade bracelet on the table, and then walked towards Mother Lu, "Mom, this bracelet suits you. It looks particularly elegant when you wear it."
"I'll put it on for you." Meng Chuyuan took her left hand and slowly put the bracelet on her.
She squeezed Mother Lu's hand gently without applying too much force, and it didn't hurt much when she put the bracelet on. It went on her wrist in one go.
Mother Lu raised her hand and looked at the jade bracelet she had just put on. Under the light, she turned her wrist and said with joy in her eyes: "It looks good."
Grandma Lu: "I want to wear it too."
"Let me help you." Meng Chuyuan returned to Grandma Lu again, held her slightly rough hand, and carefully pushed the bracelet in.
After putting it on, Mother Lu came over and pulled Grandma Lu to take photos. She put the hands with the jade bracelets together and found a suitable angle to take several photos.
Mother Lu chose a photo she was satisfied with and sent it to her husband: [This bracelet is a gift from my eldest daughter-in-law. It looks good. My mother also has one]
Not long after, Father Lu sent her a message back: [It looks good. If you like it, I will buy it for you next time.]
Mother Lu: [Don’t buy it, I’ll just wear this one]
This bracelet is enough for her, and another one seems a bit redundant.
Mother Lu was so happy that she couldn't help but share a set of photos with Lu Qingye: [Your grandma and I both have one of the jade bracelets Xiao Meng gave us. Isn't it very pretty? 】
Lu Qingye had just arrived at the company to prepare for a morning meeting. When he saw the message from Lu's mother, his eyes were fixed on the message and he couldn't help but frown.
Xiao Meng?
Is this... mature?
Seeing that he didn't reply for a while, Mother Lu suddenly thought of sending a scarf to Lu Qingye today, so she said to him: "By the way, I sent Xiao Mengzhi's scarf to you, remember to sign for it."
Lu Qingye hadn't finished digesting the last message, but another one came that surprised him even more.
Did Meng Chuyuan knit a scarf for him?
How could such a good person think of knitting a scarf for him?
Could it be that her mother said something to her?
…
"Grandma, you haven't seen my gift yet."
Not long after Grandma Lu put on the bracelet, she was busy admiring the bracelet on her wrist and ignored other things on the table. Uncle Yuan happened to have the dishes ready and called them to the restaurant to eat.
When she saw her grandma getting up and going to eat, Lu Qianling felt a little aggrieved for being ignored.
She pulled her grandma's sleeves and handed the massager to her, "I bought this."
Grandma Lu happily took it and responded softly: "Okay, I'll look at it later after dinner."
"Grandma, why are you like this? You are wearing an expensive bracelet, but you don't like my gift?"
Lu Qianling was dumbfounded when she saw her grandma put the massager on the sofa without even taking it apart.
In the past, even if Lu Qianling bought a small and inconspicuous item for her grandma, she would praise her for a long time.
Comparing today's situation, Lu Qianling was a little disappointed.
She finally bought something less expensive for her grandma, but her grandma's reaction was too bland.
Seeing that she didn't know what to do, Mother Lu couldn't help but say, "Damn girl, it's important to eat, do you understand? It's hard for grandma to come here, and the car ride is very tiring, okay?"
Hearing this, Lu Qianling touched her nose in embarrassment, stretched out her hand to support her grandma's arm, and led her away, "Grandma, let's eat first. What I bought is a massager. You can use it anytime."
In the face of grandma's physical condition, gifts didn't matter. Lu Qianling naturally thought about grandma first.
Grandma Lu slowly came to the restaurant, took the main seat, and ate with everyone.
Meng Chuyuan happened to be sitting next to Grandma Lu, relatively close, and took the initiative to pick up food for Grandma.
Grandma Lu's bowl was never short of vegetables, because Mother Lu and Meng Chuyuan would add some to her bowl from time to time.
Halfway through the meal, Grandma Lu suddenly thought of something and asked curiously: "Did Aye never come back when he went out?"
