My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Lu Xiaoqiao followed Lu's mother outside.

She thought she would face the whole family's opposition "siege", but she never expected that Lu's mother would come up and say "I agree!" and immediately put her worries to rest.

Upon hearing this, Father Lu frowned and said to Mother Lu in an impatient tone, "What do you agree to? You agree and I disagree, but how much older is that? You are ten years older than my daughter."

Mother Lu disagreed and said, "He is a little old, but he is ambitious."

"How do you know he's ambitious?"

Mother Lu gave her a look that said, "Are you kidding me?" "My family has their own business, and they've even started a company with their friends. I think this kid is ambitious."

Lu Xiaoqiao nodded and said, "Yeah! Yes, Mom, you are absolutely right, he is very motivated." She quickly said some of his advantages to win her boyfriend's favor.

Father Lu felt a little jealous when he heard his wife and his daughter speak well of other men. He said in a dissatisfied tone, "Are you just attracted by his looks? I tell you, that thing can't be eaten."

Mother Lu glanced at him and sneered, "Then what do you think I wanted from you back then? Your impoverished family or your complete poverty? It was simply your looks that attracted me, and you're still pretending to be so. So what's wrong with being older? Just treat our daughter well, that's all! Besides, your dad is twelve years older than your mom, why didn't you tell me?"

"Why...why did you mention my parents?" Father Lu was so angry that he stuttered when his sore spot was touched.

In the era of Lu's parents, arranged marriages were common, and people would get married without even meeting each other. In order to get married, the man concealed his actual age. It was not until they got married that the woman found out his real age.

Because of this incident, people would talk about it as a joke whenever they thought of it, so that he felt since he was a child that marrying someone older was a shame.

Seeing his father's face flushed red, Lu Xiaodong didn't know whether it was from anger or shame, so he stepped forward to persuade him, "Dad, don't be angry on New Year's Day. They came from far away, don't always look so sullen. None of us has the final say in this matter. It all depends on my little sister. As long as she is willing, we will help control her character."

Father Lu snorted angrily, "What can you tell about a person's character at this moment? I think you don't judge people by their character at all, you only judge them by their looks."

Seeing that Father Lu was no longer so opposed, Lu Xiaoqiao just needed a way out, so she hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, Dad, don't be angry. Even though he's ten years older than me, he's been super, super nice to me. Just give him a chance! Don't you think the only thing you care about is age? Don't you think he's nice to me?"

Faced with his daughter's coquettish behavior, Father Lu's expression finally improved: "Let's see how he performs!"

Everyone was relieved to see that Mr. Lu finally agreed.

The issue started to be discussed, and Lu Xiaoqiao followed the others into the house.

As soon as I entered, I saw two people, one big and one small, huddled together, looking at a tablet.

At this moment, Lu Jiaqi looked at Zhou Qizhen beside him with admiration, his eyes full of twinkling little stars.

He kept exclaiming, "Wow! Uncle, you are so awesome! You even beat this teacher! Wow! Uncle, look, the teacher is so mad at you that he's gone offline!"

"What are you two playing?" Lu Xiaoqiao walked over and asked with a smile.

Seeing that the adults had all entered the house, Lu Jiaqi hurriedly pulled Zhou Qizheng's arm and boasted, "Aunt! Your boyfriend can play Go, and he's really good! He beat all the teachers here, hehe!"

"Really? You can also play Go?" Lu Xiaoqiao asked Zhou Qizhen.

Zhou Qizheng raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at Lu Xiaoqiao: "I know a little."

In fact, by the time Zhou Qizheng was in junior high school, his Go proficiency had already reached 8th dan! Initially, he just saw it as a hobby to pass the time, and even turned down a teacher's invitation to participate in a competition.

"Where did the tablet come from?" Lu Xiaodong came in and asked.

"Uncle said this is a gift for me, Dad. This is the latest model, hehe! It's better than Li Zihao's."

Lu Xiaodong glanced at his son's face which was flushed with joy, and thought that his sister's boyfriend must have done a lot of homework before coming.

My son has loved playing Go since he was young. He usually has no one to play with when he wants to. His classmate has a tablet with a software that allows him to compete with children from all over the country in Go. He has always envied him and wanted one, but his family has never bought one for him.

"He's just a little kid, why did you buy him such an expensive gift? Jiaqi, did you thank your uncle?"

"Dad, don't worry! How can I not thank my uncle for buying me such a nice gift?"

Zhou Qizheng smiled and said, "As long as Jiaqi likes it."

After seeing everyone come in, Zhou Qizhen distributed the remaining gifts to everyone one by one.

Most of the things I bought were nutritional supplements for the two elderly people, such as bird's nests and cordyceps. Knowing that Mr. Lu drank white wine, I specially got a box of special wine and a box of Moutai from the company.

The gift for Mother Lu was a high-quality jade necklace. Lu Xiaoqiao took a look at it and secretly took note of it. She would remind Mother Lu to keep it well. Just by looking at it, she knew it was not cheap.

Finally, Zhou Qizheng carried the last two gift bags and handed them to Lu Xiaodong and Liu Man: "Brother, sister-in-law, these are for you."

Liu Man looked at him in surprise: "We were already embarrassed to have bought a gift for Jiaqi, and now he also brought some for us. How can we be so embarrassed!"

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't expect Zhou Qizhen to be so thoughtful and not forget his brother and sister-in-law's share.

"He brought it all! Brother and sister-in-law, just accept it!"

……

After distributing the gifts, Lu's mother started to prepare food for her future son-in-law.

In the outer kitchen.

Mother Lu glanced at Zhou Qizhen who was chatting with Father Lu in the room, smiled with satisfaction, and then continued to work on the work in her hands.

It's true that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more satisfied she becomes.

Mother Lu was working when she suddenly remembered something. She moved to Lu Xiaoqiao's side and said in a low voice, "Xiaoqiao, it's your grandma's birthday the day after tomorrow. You must bring Qi Zheng over. Do you hear me?"

Lu Xiaoqiao stopped peeling garlic, looked up at Mother Lu, hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I not go?"

Mother Lu was unhappy when she heard this: "Why not go? Your sister Na brought her boyfriend home for the New Year this year, and you brought your boyfriend back too! Your second aunt will definitely ask about it then."

Lu Xiaoqiao lowered her head and muttered, "I don't want to bring him over there and be compared to others."

Hearing this, Mother Lu scoffed and said proudly, "Let her compete. Isn't she willing to compete? I don't believe anyone can compare to my Qi Zheng."

Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”
