At this time, Uncle Li came out of the kitchen with someone holding desserts.
"Master Lu, you are here too. Fortunately, I asked them to make a little more afternoon tea."
Lu Shengfan smiled and greeted the old housekeeper, "Uncle Li OK."
Xie Wen picked up his favorite cake angrily, put it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it with a sigh of relief.
The game was temporarily put down, and Gu Bai also started to enjoy afternoon tea.
As soon as Gu Bai raised his hand, Chu Zeshen skillfully handed the cup in front of him into his hand.
This scene happened in front of Xie Wen and Lu Shengfan. The two looked at each other and said nothing.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the two seemed to get along better.
Xie Wen stayed at the Chu Family for a while after the afternoon tea. After getting the detailed guide from Gu Bai, he reluctantly left with Lu Shengfan.
As he walked away, he was reluctant to leave Gu Bai: "Remember to give me another guide on WeChat. Whether it works or not depends on you, Xiao Bai!"
Lu Shengfan, who was pulling Xie Wen away from the side, seemed to be turned into a stick with which to beat the mandarin ducks with his roar.
Lu Shengfan said in a low voice, "Hold on for a moment, you have been added to this two-person world for no reason, and you still have the nerve to call me Xiao Bai. Is that your name Xiao Bai?"
Xie Wen realized in hindsight. "Fuck, A Ze is such a narrow-minded person, will I be retaliated against if I destroy their world today?"
Lu Shengfan let go of Xie Wen: "Who do you think A Ze is? I won't take revenge. Just try not to hang around in front of him these days."
Xie Wen swallowed. "My old man's birthday will be after the Mid-Autumn Festival. He will definitely attend the birthday party."
Lu Shengfan gave him a very pertinent opinion. "Run as far as you can. If you are on a temporary business trip abroad, just run."
Chapter 32
Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion. Gu Bai and Chu Zeshen returned to their old home early.
It is not unreasonable to say that the old house is an old house. The exterior decoration is traditional, and the green bricks can tell that it has a history of several decades. Although it has been renovated and consolidated, traces of the years are still left.
There is a small fish pond as soon as you enter the door. Maybe because they have just been fed, all the goldfish have floated to the surface, blowing bubbles one by one.
Gu Bai has always liked this kind of old house with hidden charm. Gu Family also owned one before, but because it was too far away from the company, he could only live in a new villa. The residence was also convenient for commuting to get off work.
Chu Zeshen slowed down as soon as he got out of the car. Gu Bai didn't notice it, so he slowly led Mocha and followed Chu Zeshen behind him to take a closer look at the Chu Family old house.
When he arrived at the inner courtyard, Gu Bai smelled a faint scent of incense candles. This smell was not like the strong scent of worship incense candles he had smelled in the Gu Family before. Instead, it had a faint scent of sandalwood, which made people feel comfortable.
Chu Zeshen took the initiative to speak, "Every year after grandma passed away, grandpa would worship her during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Grandma's favorite festival during her lifetime was the Mid-Autumn Festival. All the incense and candles at home were bought from the temple, which is the temple where grandma went most often."
From the door all the way to the inner courtyard, there is a bookish decoration everywhere. There are poems and paintings carved on the stone windows in the corridor, and there are also carvings and paintings on the pillars on the porch. The inner courtyard is planted with plants and flowers that match the seasons. It seems that the lady of this old house has taken good care of it.
This should be the way it was when the mistress was alive. Elder Chu loves his lover very much, and at the same time, he misses his lover in this way.
Elder Chu was drinking tea in the yard. When he saw his two grandsons coming, he waved quickly. "Xiao Bai is here. Have you had breakfast?"
He paused and saw Mocha smiling brighter, "Oh, Mocha is here too."
When Mocha saw Elder Chu, he seemed to remember the six-digit cane gift, and his tail kept wagging. If Gu Bai hadn't been holding the traction rope, Mocha would have risen like a small helicopter.
Gu Bai walked up to Elder Chu and said, "Good morning, grandpa, we've had breakfast."
Mocha rubbed Elder Chu's legs enthusiastically.
Elder Chu pulled Gu Bai to sit down and gave him a cup of freshly brewed tea. Then he raised his hand and rubbed Mocha's head. "Eat more. Grandpa's pastries here are made with traditional techniques."
He turned around and told Chu Zeshen: "Go to the kitchen and bring the pastries."
Gu Bai glanced at Chu Zeshen and said, "I'll go."
Elder Chu grabbed Gu Bai again, as if Gu Bai was his own grandson. "Let him go, he is familiar with the place. If he doesn't like eating cakes, just let him get them. You can chat with me."
Chu Zeshen When he arrived at the old house, he didn't even take a sip of tea and was ordered to do things by his grandfather. He was already used to it and walked straight to the kitchen without saying anything.
After a while, Chu Zeshen came out of the kitchen holding a wooden box. There were more than a dozen compartments in the wooden box, and each compartment contained several exquisite pastries.
Elder Chu was enjoying the service of his grandson with great satisfaction. He smiled and said to Gu Bai, "Xiao Bai, I heard that you like to eat pastries. Eat more. I have asked people to prepare a lot."
As for who said it, it is obvious who lives and stays with Gu Bai.
Gu Bai looked at the box of exquisite pastries on the table and was fascinated for a while. He likes to eat sweets and has never hidden it, but only Chu Zeshen will bring him sugar water and tell his grandfather that he likes to eat sweets and let him prepare it.
Chu Zeshen picked up a small clip and put a piece of peach blossom cake on Gu Bai's plate. "You try it."
Gu Bai reciprocated and gave him a piece of mille-feuille cake that was not too sweet. "You can try it too."
Elder Chu was very pleased to see this scene. It was no longer the wishful thinking of an ignorant brat like him. What was helpless was that his grandson was an iron tree with blossoms, but the other party was also an iron tree, but so far he hadn't even seen the stamens.
Who is Elder Chu? He has seen more relationships than they eat. How could he not see the situation between his grandson and Gu Bai? Even though the two treated each other with respect and no flaws, it was clear from their eyes that there was no emotion at all.
It seems to be different now. There is eye contact between the two. Once a qualitative change occurs, it is easy to make progress.
Elder Chu rolled his eyes and picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
