unknown way out

There was no need to knock on the door, Grandpa left the door, but Chu Heng knocked on the door consciously. "Come in." Grandpa said, Chu Heng opened the door and went in, followed by Lu Yiqiao.

Grandpa Chu was sitting on a wicker chair in the room with a string of Buddhist beads coiled in his hand. He glanced at the two young men of the same height standing side by side.

"Is that Lu Yiqiao?" Grandpa asked Lu Yiqiao as soon as he opened his mouth. Lu Yiqiao's heart skipped a beat and he replied, "Yes."

"The dishes on the table last night, which dish do you like the most?" Grandpa's question was out of the ordinary. Lu Yiqiao looked at Chu Heng suspiciously, and Chu Heng smiled and said, "Tell me the truth."

"West Lake Vinegar Fish is much more delicious than the ones I ate in the north, and Babao Tofu is also delicious. If you like a table of dishes, you can't say which one you like the most, because you like them all." Naturally, Lu Yiqiao told the truth. Yesterday That table was so rich that he didn't even have time to talk, he just buried himself in eating.

"Really?" Grandpa raised his eyebrows and asked, "Yes." Lu Yiqiao didn't dare to cheat.

"Then you are not young, you are as old as Wuzi, you are 28 years old, and you have met many people, so why are you so sure that you want to spend the remaining 50 years with Chu Heng?" Grandpa As soon as the words came out, Lu Yiqiao and Chu Heng gasped together, and grandpa really knew.

Grandpa saw the reactions of the two people, but became more serious: "I'm not stupid! I've been with your grandma for half my life, and I can't guess what she's thinking? Look at your aunt's reaction. Although I am the first It’s the first time I’ve seen this young man from the north, but it’s not the first time I’ve heard this name. Can’t you guess it?”

"As expected of a grandfather, he is careful and courageous." At this time, Chu Heng never forgot to say a few words of flattery.

"Our Chu family has been passed down from generation to generation since my grandfather's generation. It is good that there is a boy in the family. In Chu Heng's generation, it will be completely cut off." When the grandfather spoke, he still looked at Lu Yiqiao. Heng glanced at Lu Yiqiao and immediately replied to his grandfather: "Grandpa, you see that Jiuyan's surname is Chu, don't take Chu Jiuyan seriously." Zhen and Auntie’s surname, but another child in Auntie’s womb will have a foreign name, which will follow Rui’an’s surname.

Lu Yiqiao didn't speak, and the grandfather ignored his grandson, and continued to talk to Lu Yiqiao: "Is you the only son in your family?" "I have an older brother." Lu Yiqiao answered honestly. "Are you married?" "Yes, but divorced." "Do you have any children?" Grandpa continued to ask, Lu Yiqiao was obviously panicked, and was about to lie, his ears turned red from holding back.

"Yes, there is a daughter named Lu Zili, who is a little younger than Jiuyan and very sensible." It was Chu Heng who answered, and he did not smile but answered seriously. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed Lu Yi again. Qiao clenched his hand tightly, Lu Yiqiao was taken aback by the opponent's actions, but felt inexplicably at ease.

"Really? Did Xiao Lu's parents know?" Grandpa raised his eyebrows and asked, "My father passed away very early, and my mother raised me and my brother alone. My mother already knew." Lu Yi Qiao answered first, speaking a little more confidently than before, at least not so flustered.

After hearing this, Grandpa sighed that it was not easy for Lu's mother, but he didn't mean to give in at all.

"Grandpa, maybe you don't like us at all." Chu Heng was interrupted by his grandfather before he finished speaking, "Yes, you don't like us, and you are against it." But Chu Heng still bite the bullet and continued: "But We will not be separated. Love is a matter between two people. It has nothing to do with the continuation of blood and secular disputes. It was really not easy for me to meet him. Incapable of doing it."

Grandpa frowned and was about to speak when the door was pushed open and it was Grandma who came in.

Grandma brought a bowl of almond tea and looked at her grandson and Lu Yiqiao. Grandpa was about to reach out to take the bowl of warm almond tea, but he didn't want grandma to put the bowl directly into Lu Yiqiao's hand: "Arguing with the old stubborn It takes a lot of talking, so drink some almond tea to soothe your throat."

Lu Yiqiao felt a little embarrassed holding the bowl, and the grandfather who reached out behind him but got nothing was also a little embarrassed.But grandma looked at Lu Yiqiao, and he was too embarrassed not to drink it, so he moved to the mouth of the bowl and took a big sip. The ground almond flour tasted more intense than a bite of almonds. With the addition of rock sugar and longan, the taste is also very rich. , also added milk, the aroma of milk and almonds mixed together, people can't help but want to drink a big bowl.

"I'll try it too." Chu Heng smelled the almond tea and wanted to drink it himself, so he grabbed the bowl from Lu Yiqiao's hand, drank it in one go, and then stuffed the empty bowl back into Lu Yiqiao's hand: "Grandma, your skills are getting better and better. You are really like a human being, and you are getting younger and younger." Chu Heng's flattering skills are really undiminished, and he is so good at boasting to his family.

Grandma smiled and said that he said 'not serious', took the bowl from Lu Yiqiao, turned around and was about to go down.

"Ms. Qiao?" It's grandpa. He can't believe it. His wife didn't even give him a look. Could it be that because of his grandson, the two of them are going to have some kind of marriage crisis in old age?

"What's wrong?" Grandma still ignored him. "You have nothing to tell me?" Grandpa asked back, Chu Heng quickly patted Lu Yiqiao's arm, pulled him to stand aside, and left the main battlefield to grandparents.

"What are you talking about? What can I say? I said this is reincarnation, it's fate, and it's our family's debt. You won't listen, and you insist on doing something wrong." Grandma seemed quite angry.

Grandpa is also a little helpless. This person who has been with her for half his life has gone through ups and downs with her. What happened to her third uncle is a heart disease for the whole family, but they don't want it to happen again in their old Chu's house.

"Why did you mention it again?" Grandpa was also helpless, and grandma turned around and came back at this time, and gave Chu Heng the empty bowl again.Then he stood beside his grandson, looked at his wife and asked, "What is my third uncle's name, do you remember?"

"Qiao Qingyi." Grandpa almost heard the name. "Where's Xiao Lu?" "Lu, Lu Yiqiao." Grandpa also felt that something was wrong when he said it. Chu Heng and Lu Yiqiao were also shocked when he heard it. Qiao Qingyi, Qiao Yi, Lu Yiqiao, Wei bridge.

"Amazing." Lu Yiqiao couldn't help sighing. Fortunately, he is a younger brother. If he was born before Lu Yishan, he would be called Lu Yishan.

"Then do you know, who is the person who guarded the life card for him?" Grandma asked again, but Grandpa didn't know, he always dismissed this story, thinking that all Qiao Qingyi's actions were wrong Yes, I need to know about him, even if he is the elder of the Qiao family who loves his wife the most.

"Heng Zichu, his surname is Heng, and his first name is Zichu. Your precious grandson's name, even the nickname, was given by you." As soon as grandma spoke, Chu Heng and Lu Yiqiao looked at each other, and said together: " This is really powerful."

Heng Zichu, Heng Chu, and Chu Heng had the same name again, even if it was a coincidence, it left Grandpa speechless at this time.

"It's fate to be able to meet each other. It's not easy to be able to love each other after ten years and muster the courage to be together. With so many coincidences, it just proves that you should be together." Grandma patted the shoulders of the two juniors.

"Thank you grandma." Lu Yiqiao stretched out his arms proactively and hugged Grandma Chu.Grandma Chu also patted Lu Yiqiao on the back, Chu Heng also leaned forward at this time, put the bowl on the table, and insisted on sticking together with Lu Yiqiao and her own grandma: "Baby grandma, turn around and put Lu Yiqiao Your brother's daughter was kidnapped to be your great-granddaughter, that girl is much smarter than Jiuyan, and she is particularly good at mathematics."

As soon as he heard that someone was going to abduct his niece, Lu Yiqiao violently attacked Chu Heng again.

Grandma also smiled and said: "Let the old man be quiet, let's go downstairs to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. In the evening, there will be Wuzi's favorite Dongpo pork. Will Xiao Lu still eat West Lake vinegar fish today? I must make something better than that." Yingluo is delicious." "Of course!" Lu Yiqiao and Chu Heng supported grandma from left to right and went downstairs.

On the contrary, Grandpa Chu was sitting there, still holding the beads in his hand, but his eyes fell on the empty bowl that Chu Heng didn't take away when he went out.

Lu Yiqiao helped wash the water shield, and Chu Jiuyan, who didn't want to help Chu Heng, ran over to wash the water shield with Lu Yiqiao, and asked Lu Yiqiao in a low voice how he should memorize the multiplication table. Lu Yiqiao couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to say this Things can only be memorized more, and they will be blurted out slowly.

"Grandpa!" Chu Jiuyan suddenly stood up and saw Grandpa Chu coming down the stairs. Grandpa Chu held the bowl of almond tea in his hand, coughed lightly, and handed the small bisque bowl to Lu Yiqiao In front of him: "I didn't take the turnips away just now."

Lu Yiqiao nodded with a smile, quickly turned off the water pipe, and then put the basin containing water shield on the small seat made of bluestone bricks on one side, then reached out to take the bowl, and asked again: "Grandpa wants to drink almond tea Is it? If you want, I will go and talk to grandma."

Grandpa Chu probably still felt a little embarrassed, but he still said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Lu Yiqiao said: "It's okay." Then he ran to the kitchen with long legs. Chu Heng just came back from buying brown sugar outside, and thought that Lu Yiqiao would wash vegetables here, but he didn't see him, but he saw his grandfather.

Immediately leaned over, and pulled Chu Jiuyan away: "Grandpa, I accidentally dropped grandma's bowl of almond tea on it, did you take it down?"

Grandpa knew that Chu Heng did it on purpose, and then sighed: "I see, I took it down, and asked Xiao Lu to take it to the kitchen."

"That's a good relationship, let's go to the front hall to play flower cards, Chu Jiuyan, are you coming?" Hearing what Chu Heng was going to play, even though Chu Jiuyan had never heard of it, he still followed.

Busy all day, I thought what Chu Heng and Lu Yiqiao could do to help, but in the end they were all kicked out by grandma, and the two of them could only drag Chu Jiuyan and grandpa to play go and chess in the front hall. , Flower cards take turns to play.

But the reason why he never gets bored is that he can win money. Although he won’t win much, it’s like saving money for fireworks for the night. No matter how good grandpa plays, it’s not worth Lu Yiqiao’s collusion with Chu Heng, and Chu Jiuyan’s tip-off.Chu Jiuyan originally refused, but he believed Chu Heng's slander that he wanted to buy Transformers for him, so he went to help him.

When the New Year’s Eve dinner started, Chu Heng had already won more than 50 yuan from his grandfather, but his grandfather was not angry at all. Instead, he was very happy. When his grandmother passed by with dried vegetables and stewed meat and shredded sweet potatoes, she asked: "Is this old man being silly?"

"Okay, it's time to pack up and eat." Mother Chu stuffed a large handful of chopsticks into Chu Heng's hand, and asked him to put a pair of chopsticks in front of each seat. Lu Yiqiao also wanted to help, but was dragged by his aunt I got seated early.

All the dishes were served on a table, but there were only two soups. Chu Heng and Lu Yiqiao were sitting next to each other, but Dongpo meat was placed in front of Lu Yiqiao. Although it was not far away, Chu Heng had to use it. The Longjing shrimp in front of him was exchanged with Lu Yiqiao, but Lu Yiqiao was unwilling, and he only exchanged it with the West Lake vinegar fish in front of his grandfather.

Grandpa immediately asked Father Chu to replace the Longjing shrimp, and Chu Jiuyan also loved eating Dongpo meat, so he sat between Lu Yiqiao and Chu Heng with a bowl and a stool, completely ignoring his brother's urge to break his chopsticks .

It was eight o'clock, and the Spring Festival Gala started on time. With the doors and windows closed, the cold wind outside could not come in at all, and the room was filled with the smell of food and the warmth of the whole family.
