Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 177 A Little Green Tea

When Shen Jiaojiao and Lu Shize arrived at the old house of the Lu family, Ji Yalan was still there. In the evening, Grandma Lu said that it had been cold for a long time since they had eaten barbecue, so they went to the terrace on the rooftop, had someone set up a rack, and got some smokeless charcoal.

Ji Yalan was busy running around with a measured pace. Shen Jiaojiao put on an apron and gloves and followed her. Lu Shize had already cut the eggplant. Ji Yalan took the plate and walked to put it next to the grill, and let others arrange when and how to grill it.

Just as Shen Jiaojiao got close to Lu Shize, she heard someone behind her calling her, "Jiaojiao, there's smoke here and it'll make you feel uncomfortable. You should go over there. Your grandma must miss you and has a lot to say to you."

Shen Jiaojiao looked at Lu Shize and then at the two grandmothers in the distance, "But I think..."

She didn't know why, but she always subconsciously wanted to follow Lu Shize. But the two grandmothers were indeed there. They only spoke to each other when they entered the door just now. She came over wearing an apron and didn't go over to say hello...

Lu Shize smiled and said, "Jiaojiao, are you confused? It's all fine. You can go and talk to grandma, or you can serve dishes here..."

"Really? Then I..."

"There's smoke here," Ji Yalan walked back to Lu Shize, separated herself from Shen Jiaojiao, and turned around with the fork in her hand. Shen Jiaojiao quickly stepped back to let Ji Yalan pass. She actually didn't mind the smoke, and this was smokeless charcoal, which would only produce a little smoke when burned.

"Um, uncle, I want to..." Shen Jiaojiao's hand also reached out to pick up the mushroom slices that Lu Shize had forked, and Ji Yalan had already brought them to the other side of the plate.

Looking at Ji Yalan's overwhelming attitude, Shen Jiaojiao subconsciously let go, "Well, okay, I'll go accompany grandma first"...

Shen Jiaojiao wanted to stay, but it seemed like she was always chasing after her uncle, which was indeed a bit strange. She had no choice but to go back and watched Ji Yalan hand the things to the barbecuer, "Well, thank you for your hard work."

The two of them were a certain distance away from Lu Shize, and he couldn't hear them. Ji Yalan glanced at Shen Jiaojiao lightly and turned the tables, "It's okay! I came here to play with Grandma Shen and get along well with her. What does this have to do with you? Why are you the only one to tell me how hard you've worked?"

Shen Jiaojiao frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, as if there was a smell of tension, but she didn't know where the problem was. Shouldn't she really say to her, "Thank you for your hard work"?

...But, Shen Jiaojiao still went to find the two grandmothers first. The grandmothers quickly made a seat for Shen Jiaojiao and let her sit in the middle, one on each side. They quickly took off her gloves and held her hands, "Oh, it's good to be young. Your hands are warm."

"Jiaojiao looks good in an apron."

"Yes, your hair looks good too... Oh, by the way, Jiaojiao, when you eat barbecue later, it's better to tie your hair up to avoid it getting stained with oil."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded one by one, watching from afar a group of people barbecuing in an orderly manner, then fixed her eyes on Lu Shize, while Ji Yalan was also circling around him. What she did was to bring the food he cut or skewered to the barbecue grill, where naturally there were other people responsible for barbecuing.

Shen Jiaojiao realized belatedly what Ji Yalan had just said, and realized that her answer was very weak... Could it be that she liked Lu Shize in her heart, and she thought about other people's words in the same way, but she wanted to hide it so that people would not find out that she was too dependent on Lu Shize, so she reacted like that again and again?

"Jiaojiao, are you still going to bed after 11pm? Why are you still doing your homework so late?"

Grandma only asked two questions, and Shen Jiaojiao quickly replied, "It's not too late, some classmates are more serious than me, they are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, and they are all very hardworking. I am really not the hardest working one." Then she stood up and said, "Grandma, you two continue chatting, I'll go find my uncle."

It was common for her to look for her uncle. In addition, everyone knew that she and Lu Shize had been living separately for a long time, and the number of times they could meet was limited. Since the child liked to be clingy, they just let her do what she wanted.

To Ji Yalan's surprise, Shen Jiaojiao ran over again, so she simply stepped aside to block him, frowning, "Here! The road is narrow! Miss Shen, you are still..."

Ji Yalan was about to say something, but Shen Jiaojiao grabbed her hand and said, "Sister Ji Yalan, please do me a favor and take a picture of me and my uncle."

As she spoke, Shen Jiaojiao moved quickly and stuffed the phone directly into Ji Yalan's hand. When the other person subconsciously grabbed the phone, Shen Jiaojiao quickly let go.

She ran to Lu Shize, and Lu Shize cooperated by turning around. Shen Jiaojiao tilted her head and touched the man's shoulder directly.

Ji Yalan had no choice but to walk over and raised her cell phone. Shen Jiaojiao smiled sweetly. The man was afraid that there was no light on her face, and the little one would shout that it was too dark later. So he glanced at the position of the light source, turned around a little, pointed to the position again, and asked Ji Yalan to take a picture from a certain place.

Shen Jiaojiao also adjusted her position and found that the light was shining on her side. She hurriedly shouted, "Uncle, smile quickly."

The man was not very old, only 29, but he had been in business for so many years that he had learned to be cold and ruthless in the business world. Therefore, it was rare to see him smile. Ji Yalan looked at the face on the screen and was stunned.

She has liked him for many years.

She walked this road many times, carrying her test papers and materials. She always came to see him, and he simply said, "Thank you."

He also said that there was no need to come again, and that I really didn't need to bring it to him next time.

But she is almost undeterred by wind and rain...

He even almost asked, "You don't like me, do you?" How dare Ji Yalan let him ask!

Because, the man’s next sentence will definitely be to reject herself!

At that time, she could only make an excuse and say that she couldn't stand the fact that her classmates who could study very well had no time to study!

She felt it was a pity to lose a talented person. She also said that one should not just think about working and making money without even reading basic books. This would not be good for the country.

It seemed that Lu Shize had taken the word "country" to heart... That evening, he smiled rarely and then nodded.

"Yes, isn't it said that we students are studying for the rise of China? I... will study hard. Of course, I must also do my job well."

The man was still childish at the time and had made a lot of money at the age of 15. Ji Yalan didn't have much idea at the time, but when she saw Shen Jiaojiao, who was raised to be as delicate as a doll... she hated her a little.

Lu Shize's time was completely split into two parts. He was thin, worked non-stop, and had dark circles under his eyes. Some people lived a peaceful life, while others were silently paying their dues...

And right now, next to him was this naive girl... To be precise, she wasn't naive.

But, she was protected too well by Lu Shize. She came from a completely ordinary family. How could she have deserved to be treated like a rich lady now?

Delicate, willful, naive, ignorant, lazy... Ji Yalan took a few photos in a hurry and handed over the phone, "Okay."

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes were beautiful, almost crescent-shaped when they curved. She took it and said, "How about I take a picture of you and your uncle as well?"

"Need not".

Lu Shize's voice completely overlapped with Ji Yalan's answer.

He spoke again, "No need to film. What are you...doing here?"

Shen Jiaojiao looked innocent, but she was not a pushover. If she were put in a novel, she would become a green tea girl in minutes. She glanced at Ji Yalan's deflated expression, then turned to Lu Shize.

So, this is how we should fight back...

However, she was really stumped by the man's question. Shen Jiaojiao just wanted to win back a game with Ji Yalan. As for coming here, she really didn't know what to do.

"...Uncle, I...don't know what to do either. What do you think?"

Seeing that she had put on her gloves again, Lu Shize asked, "How about stringing these quail eggs?"

"Oh okay."
