You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 277: New Year's Eve (2 in 1 order required)

"Hey, what's going on?" Lu Yu held his forehead.

"Pfft~"

Gao Xiuli and Liu Mengyuan couldn't help laughing.

After this little farce, the atmosphere became less awkward.

"My daughter, just treat this place as your own home. Come inside and eat apples and melon seeds."

Mom invited Liu Mengyuan into the house and asked her to sit down. She then took an orange from the fruit bowl, peeled it, and handed it to her.

Just as Liu Mengyuan's mouth was filled with oranges, his mother picked up a banana from the fruit bowl, peeled it, and stuffed it into Liu Mengyuan's hand.
While eating, Gao Xiuli glanced at Lu Youkang and said angrily, "Old Lu, why are you standing here like an idiot? Take the round suitcase to the inner room."

"Oh."

Lu Youkang nodded, ignored Lu Yu, and carried the suitcase into the inner room.

She continued to instruct, "Lu Yu, don't be idle either. Clean up the table and put out the necessary dishes and chopsticks."

Liu Mengyuan was flattered as she sat on the sofa. She stole a glance at Lu Yu, lowered her head and ate in small bites.

Lu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

How does it make out that Yuanyuan is my biological child and I was picked up from the street?
Sitting on the sofa, Gao Xiuli chatted briefly with Liu Mengyuan and asked about the girl's specific situation.

When my son is in love, as an elder, I worry about the following: are the two of them compatible? What is the other person's character and values ​​like? Will they be happy together?

Whether this is suitable or not depends on many factors, such as personality, work, values, family, etc.

If you already live together, you will still worry about whether something serious will happen that involves life.

Originally, before Lu Yu brought his girlfriend home, Gao Xiuli thought that her daughter-in-law's appearance was secondary. As long as the style didn't match hers, she wouldn't care much.

After all, for Lu Yu, a taciturn man, it would be a success if he could marry a wife smoothly.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yu brought back such a beautiful girlfriend, whose appearance far exceeded her expectations.

Moreover, the girl looked quiet and gentle, which gave her a good first impression. At least she was from a respectable family.

After chatting for a few words,

"You guys sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen to cook a few dishes." Gao Xiuli tied her apron again.

"Auntie, there's no need to be so busy. This table full of food is enough for us." Liu Mengyuan quickly stood up.

"How can that be possible? This is your first time coming home this year, so the meal must be substantial."

The sound of sizzling cooking could be heard in the kitchen, and a faint aroma wafted out.

On the balcony, Lu Youkang also took the opportunity to ask Lu Yu:

"Where is the girl from and what is her job?"

Lu Yu: "He's from the south, and works in the same company as me... er, as a manager."

“Or a manager?!”

Lu Youkang glanced at Liu Mengyuan who was sitting in the living room watching TV obediently.

"It's unreasonable that you can find a girl like this. Even as your father, I find it unreasonable.

If you want to keep the girl, you have to work harder. With your usual carefree look, can you really keep her?"

Lu Yu retorted unconvincedly:

"Why am I so careless? I'm a serious little curler in school, okay? Besides, I'm her boss in the company."

"Just keep bragging." Lu Youkang sneered twice.

After washing his hands, Liu Mengyuan walked out of the bathroom and looked at the house with an inquiring look. Lu Yu continued to water the flowers on the balcony. Gao Xiuli came out with a large plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, and Lu Youkang was in the kitchen serving rice in a few bowls.

Liu Mengyuan pursed her lips. She had thought that she was coming here just to have a meal, but the result was a little different from what she had imagined.
The fragrant food, the warm living room, the natural conversation, and the Lu family's parents, the atmosphere of more people,

This was completely different from Liu Mengyuan's previous impression of the atmosphere of celebrating the New Year at home.
The elders in the family also had stern faces during the Chinese New Year, just like a company’s board of directors holding its annual meeting.

And here, how should I put it, it really has the flavor of the New Year.

"Come on, try my mom's cooking. The spare ribs she makes are super delicious. Oh, the stewed ones are even better. Today's is sweet and sour...not bad either."

The two elders said nothing, and looked at them lovingly as they just whispered to each other, and then this guy picked up some food for his girlfriend.
It's unreal. How did this kid suddenly grow so big?
The elders laughed at themselves and said that they had this problem and treated their sons like children every day.
I used to laugh at Mr. Sun next door, saying that his son was already in his twenties, but he was still making a fuss about having a girlfriend, as if it was a ghost. But when it came to my own family, things weren't much better.

"Yuanyuan, come here, eat more, don't be hungry." She put a few pieces of ribs into Liu Mengyuan's bowl.

"Thank you auntie."

"Tell me about that brat Lu Yu. He didn't even say anything even though he had a girlfriend. Last time we saw girls' clothes hanging on the balcony, we thought... Never mind. You all live together, right?"

"Ah?...Yeah." Liu Mengyuan thought about it and nodded.

"Where are you from? Not Jianghai City, right?" "Yes."

Liu Mengyuan nodded and added, "Yes, I'm from Gusu, not Jianghai."

"What are your hobbies?"

"Cook."

Liu Mengyuan wanted to act nice in front of her future mother-in-law, so she deliberately emphasized this point.

In fact, she was not lying. Thanks to the skill tree of the "Wife" series, her cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds.

"Especially the stewed turtle soup. I make it every day, and Lu Yu likes it very much."

She added deliberately.

The two elders looked between the two with complicated expressions.

Since we live together, I have to stew turtle soup every day to nourish my body. Young people are different. They are full of hot temper and passion.

……

After dinner, Gao Xiuli poked her head out from the kitchen:

"Lu Yu, we're out of soy sauce at home. Go to the neighborhood supermarket and buy a bottle."

Lu Yu nodded and was about to put on his shoes when Liu Mengyuan also picked up his down jacket.

"I'll go with you. We can go for a walk around the neighborhood."

Not long after they left,

Lu Yu's uncle and cousin opened the door and came to pay New Year's greetings, carrying gifts.

The uncle and cousin sat on the sofa for a while, and the uncle opened the conversation again:

"Oh, sister, brother-in-law, please don't say that, sometimes you really can't judge a person by his appearance.
Take our Xiaoqiang for example. When he was in school, his academic performance was not good. I was so disappointed in him that I beat him up every day, but his grades didn’t improve much.

Who would have thought that he would be so successful now!

Didn’t I tell you last time I came here that Xiaoqiang just found a good job in Shenzhou with a monthly salary of 8000!

It's a big IT company, and it seems they specialize in game outsourcing for Tenghui. The salary is pretty good, and they give out gifts during festivals.

Xiaoqiang had just been working for a few days when his boss praised him for his hard work and responsibility and for his potential.

Now, half a year later, his boss got a promotion, and he was promoted to team leader as well."

Lu Youkang drank his tea without looking up and said with a smile:
"Really? My nephew has really made it big. He's in charge of a small team of several people now?"

My uncle coughed dryly twice and said with a smile, "Hey, even though he's the only one in the group right now and he's just a figurehead, it's still a group in name only."

"Oh..." Lu Youkang smiled but said nothing.

"By the way, Qiangzi is going to get that girl that he likes at work. She's very beautiful just looking at the photos. Hehe, I'll bring her back to show you guys later."

Speaking of his beautiful girlfriend, Xiaoqiang's head, which was already held high, almost tilted to the sky.

Several people were chatting animatedly in the room when Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan opened the door and walked in. The moment they entered, my uncle and Xiaoqiang were stunned.

"This, this is..."

"Oh, this is my new girlfriend. I brought her back for Mom and Dad to see. Yuanyuan, this is my uncle and cousin."

After greeting each other, my uncle immediately became low-key and didn't say a word.

Wow, he was just bragging that his child had a girlfriend, but he didn’t expect Lu Yu to bring such a beautiful girlfriend home directly.

What else can I say? I was directly outdone.

The cousin also fell silent and just watched TV.

After watching for a while, Lu Yu smiled and said, "Qiangzi, where is the girlfriend you mentioned last time?"

Xiao Qiang said: "...Well, I finally added her on WeChat now."

Gao Xiuli was cleaning the kitchen when she poked her head out. "Huh? He's giving her gifts and treating her to dinner, and he just added her on WeChat after half a year. This isn't right. Could Qiangzi have been scammed? Brother, you have to help keep an eye on this."

The uncle waved his hands and laughed awkwardly: "Hey, sister, that's not true. How could Qiangzi be so stupid?"

As they chatted, my uncle and cousin talked about some family matters and then fell into silence.

Qiangzi was really bored, so he picked up his phone and started playing games.

Lu Yu looked closely and found that he was playing "Super Time Space Moe Girl".

"You like playing this?" he laughed.

"Hey, this is very popular among young people in Shenzhou City recently. The girl in the office I'm pursuing is also playing it. She has a lot of cute girls, and I'm also into it."

As soon as we talked about games, my cousin opened up completely:

"For this game, completing the main storyline and cultivating cute girls are only a small part of the gameplay. The multiplayer social interaction and esports leagues later on are the main part! Maybe Taoyuan Township has already completed that part and is deliberately not releasing it to whet players' appetites."

"I don't think so." Lu Yu started to eat melon seeds. "Maybe they are just playing badly and haven't started yet."

"That must be impossible!"

My cousin said it with absolute certainty!

"Taoyuan Township's corporate culture is about striving for perfection! How could they possibly allow themselves to behave so poorly..."

"Corporate culture? Where did you see it?" Lu Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. As the company's boss, how could he not know what corporate culture slogan appeared in his company?

"I saw this on Tieba. It's another leak from my uncle's party. This news is authentic!"

Lu Yu said "Oh", it seems that someone on the forum has made up something again, just like the previous fried dough stick guy.

"Brother, have you heard that the owner of Taoyuan Township is also a recent college graduate. He created such a successful game right after starting his business. He's really awesome!"

"Haha, never heard of it." Lu Yu smiled and shook his head.

It seems that this guy is only busy picking up girls and didn't watch the live broadcast of the Tianzun Cup at all, otherwise how could he not recognize himself and Liu Mengyuan.

My uncle sighed, "Hey, there's no comparison between young people. Look at him, he's already a company boss in his early twenties, while Qiangzi and Xiaoyu are still working at work, earning a meager salary. That's the pure difference."

Lu Youkang was watching the TV and said, "I think we shouldn't compare our own children with others. A simple and ordinary life is the real life."

Gao Xiuli also poked her head out of the kitchen: "That's the truth. Don't leave, brother. Stay and eat dumplings."

The uncle glanced at Liu Mengyuan, who was silent at the side, and said with a smile, "Forget it, we'll go back first so as not to delay you from chatting with your future daughter-in-law."

After the two left, the family of four started making dumplings while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

As a result, the show became more and more boring the more I watched it.

"Let's all make dumplings together!"

The skits on TV really made the old couple drowsy.

After finishing the dumplings, Lu Youkang yawned and said, "Okay, let's all go to bed early. We'll get up tomorrow morning to put up the couplets."

……

As soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, Liu Mengyuan looked around curiously, looking at the various items in the room from time to time.

Lu Yu: "Good boy, why are you looking at this so attentively, as if you were in a museum?"

"After all, this is where you grew up. It's normal for me to be a little curious."

Lu Yu followed her and started to make the bed.

As a result, he just opened the quilt and heard a snap.
A bag of compressed balloons under the pillow immediately made the two blush.

"Is this prepared by uncle and aunt?"

"do not know……"

Lu Yu was quite helpless. If this item was prepared by the two elders, it meant that they had recently read some inspirational articles written by marketing accounts.

After all, this was their hometown, not the house they rented. It was impossible for them to make love here. They just lay down close to each other, one on each side, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

The flashes and crackling sounds of fireworks and firecrackers continued to come from outside the window. Liu Mengyuan looked at Lu Yu beside her with a dazed expression. She gently touched Lu Yu's hand with her little hand, then retracted it.

"I still feel like this is a dream," she said.

Her words actually contained the long wait in her previous life.

"Me too." Lu Yu smiled.
"Look, my parents are just an ordinary old couple. We just need to get along as a family. Tomorrow, I guess all the aunts and uncles will come to pay New Year's greetings. After all, my mom will definitely send a text message to show off her visit to our house.

If an elder gives you a red envelope, take it and don’t refuse it.”

"That's so embarrassing."

"Just think of it as some extra pocket money for buying turtles."

"That's fine."

Liu Mengyuan agreed almost immediately.

Lu Yu was shocked. My goodness, how much do you like soft-shelled turtles?

He remembered something: "By the way, aren't you going home for the New Year? Your mother..."

He felt that even if he didn't mention it, Gao Xiuli would bring it up the next day.

Liu Mengyuan curled her lips and said, "Anyway, she almost always spent the New Year alone before. It makes no difference whether I'm there or not."

Lu Yu was silent for a while and reminded:

"Didn't our family ask our uncle to help take a group photo today? Send this photo to your mother. My mother has also prepared a lot of gifts. When the time comes, just give her your address and we'll send it to her.

No matter what she thinks now, we must not lose points in etiquette."

"Um……"

Liu Mengyuan nodded, thoughtfully.

……

The New Year holidays were spent visiting relatives and friends.

The first day of work.

Lu Yu discovered that after returning home for the New Year, the employees of Taoyuan Township were all in high spirits and full of fighting spirit.

Seeing that everyone had grown plump and white after a year, Lu Yu was also very pleased:

"Very good, very energetic!"

In the new year, please continue to give me more leisure points.

Lu Yu thought, it’s time to start developing a new VR project!
