When it was almost time to eat, Gu Nan suggested, "Lu Hao and I will cook for us tonight, and let Lu Hao take charge of the cooking. The food he cooks is delicious."
Chen Yazhi had not eaten the food cooked by her son. When she heard that Lu Hao was going to cook, her face was full of anticipation, "Okay, we will wait and see."
David said, "I can also help, but I'm not very good at cooking home-cooked meals. I've been cooking all the pasta outside for these years."
"Uncle David, you sit with my mother and we will do it."
In the kitchen, David bought a lot of fresh greenhouse vegetables, all of which ordinary people cannot afford to eat this season.
It’s great to have money. You don’t have to worry about the price when buying food. You can buy whatever is fresh.
"I'll stew the rice first, and you wash the vegetables."
"good."
Lu Hao is really good at cooking now. He is very familiar with the process, from washing and chopping vegetables to stir-frying, he is quick and skillful.
Gu Nan was nearby, giving advice from time to time and controlling the amount of condiments he put in.
The house in Chen Yazhi's house is spacious and the kitchen is also very large. It doesn't need to be like the family building where the kitchen is already crowded with three people.
Lu Hao stir-fried six vegetables, as well as the chicken soup that David had stewed for Chen Yazhi in the morning. Chen Yazhi thought it was too greasy, so she also heated up a basin and served it to everyone.
Chen Yazhi looked at the table of dishes her son had cooked and was moved to tears before she even started eating.
Everything in front of me feels like a dream.
Lu Hao first served rice to Chen Yazhi and brought it over, "Mom, you try it."
Saying "Mom" makes Chen Yazhi truly feel that happiness is real.
She tasted the fried pork with garlic sprouts, her eyes filled with tears, and she nodded with a choked voice, "It's delicious, son, it's really delicious."
"Uncle David, you should try it too."
David also admired Lu Hao's cooking skills and asked Lu Hao to take the time to teach him how to cook.
,
Halfway through the meal, Chen Yazhi thought twice, put down her chopsticks, and watched Lu Hao and Gu Nan speak,
"Xiao Hao, Nan Nan, I have something to tell you today."
"Mom, tell me." Lu Hao also put down his chopsticks and looked at Chen Yazhi seriously, waiting for her to speak.
Chen Yazhi glanced at David sitting next to her, thought for a few seconds, and then plucked up the courage to say, "What I want to tell you is about David and I."
Hearing that Chen Yazhi was going to talk about her and David, Lu Hao and Gu Nan looked at each other, sat up straight, and waited for her to speak seriously.
David also put down his chopsticks, with a hint of nervousness in his expression.
Chen Yazhi looked at them and said, "We took a boat to sneak into country Y. It has been nearly 27 years. Over the years, we have shared hardships together and experienced many ups and downs. It is only because of his care that I can survive."
To this day.”
"In the past many years, we were just close friends and business partners. We are both people with hidden pain in our hearts, and we will not easily open our hearts to change the relationship we have maintained for many years. But now, you are all a family.
Your father also remarried many years ago. I have completely let go of everything in the past, so..."
She glanced at David with soft eyebrows and said, "I want our relationship with David to take a further step forward."
"As Nan Nan said, we are all single. When we were abroad, we got together without any name or status, and we always had to take into account the opinions of others."
After Chen Yazhi finished speaking, she looked at Lu Hao expectantly and nervously.
Chen Yazhi felt a little embarrassed to say these words in front of her son.
Also very uneasy.
After all, she is an elder, and now she wants to start a family with another man. Gu Nan said she supported them before, but at this moment, she is still afraid that Lu Hao will have opinions about her.
David waited for Chen Yazhi to finish speaking, stood up, looked at Lu Hao and Gu Nan, and spoke sincerely,
"Xiao Hao, Nan Nan, as your mother said, we have known each other for many years and have supported each other for many years. Our feelings can no longer be expressed by any single emotion. When I was abroad, I also told you
My mother expressed my feelings. Because of her poor health and the unforgettable pain in her heart, she has never agreed to take the relationship further with me. Now that she has found you, her mental state has become very good, and her physical condition has become very good.
Nannan also helped with the treatment, so she was willing to open her heart and accept me. I hope you can agree that I can officially be with her,"
David continued, "Thirty years ago, I was emotionally and psychologically traumatized, and even almost died because of it. It was fate that I met Yazhi and that I am still alive. I have no children.
, I will treat you as my own children, and I will do my best to take good care of your mother."
David spoke his true feelings in an extremely sincere tone, which moved both Li Hao and Gu Nan very much.
David is also a man of stories.
"Uncle David, please sit down."
It could be seen that David was very nervous at this time. He did not sit down, but looked at Lu Hao expectantly, waiting for him to express his position.
Lu Hao looked at them and said solemnly, "Mom, Uncle David, of course Nannan and I agree with you being together."
Gu Nan nodded, "Yes, I am very supportive."
Lu Hao held Chen Yazhi's hand and said sincerely, "Mom, I'm very happy that you can have your own happiness again."
His father had remarried twenty years ago, and in this relationship, his mother was the one who suffered the most.
She was lucky enough to meet David, let go of the pain in her heart, and reopen her heart to a new relationship. Of course, they supported her unconditionally.
Chen Yazhi looked at her sensible son, she was moved and guilty, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down her face.
Lu Hao also said sincerely to David, "Uncle David, thank you for taking care of my mother these years. From now on, we will be a family."
David was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He had not shed tears for many years, but at this moment, his eyes were actually a little moist.
"Thank you, thank you for supporting and understanding the love of us middle-aged people."
At this moment, I felt like I finally had a home.
Gu Nan asked curiously, "Uncle David, are you from Hong Kong City?"
"Yes." David nodded, "He was originally from Hong Kong City."
Gu Nan replied, "We also have several friends from Hong Kong City. We were able to find my mother this time thanks to Mr. Sun Cheng from Hong Kong City. It was he who sent the email to his friends abroad, and the search was posted there."
People start things."
Speaking of Sun Cheng, Lu Hao thought that he hadn't seen them for a long time. He asked Gu Nan, "Will Sun Cheng and the others return to Hong Kong City during the New Year?"
Gu Nan said, "If he doesn't come back, he and Weng Ying won't come back, and neither will my uncle. I heard that they will all stay in Lancheng to celebrate the New Year."
They can understand if Sun Cheng and Weng Ying don't return to Hong Kong City, but they are a little puzzled that Chen Qiang still hasn't returned yet.
Gu Yahui and Chen Ruolin have attended the wedding, met their nephew, and reunited with his sister. Why is Chen Qiang still staying in Lancheng?
It seems that I have been staying at Mr. Nie's place recently and have never been back to the municipal party committee family home.
Lu Hao said to Chen Yazhi, "Mom, I'll invite Sun Cheng and the others to come over in a few days.
Let’s have a meal together and let’s thank them properly.”
Chen Yazhi smiled and nodded, "Okay, if my health hadn't been weighed down, I would have gone to thank them long ago."
David said to Lu Hao, "Although I am from Hong Kong, I have not been back for more than 20 years. I have no relatives. Your mother and I also discussed it and invited relatives and friends to have a meal together to make our relationship public.
Although we are both middle-aged, I should also have a betrothal gift, and I plan to give you 10% of my company's shares."
This is the greatest sincerity he can express, and it is also compensation for Chen Yazhi to Lu Hao.
After Lu Hao heard David's words, he looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Why should you give it to me?"
David said, "Your mother owns shares. I will transfer 10% to you. This is my sincerity."
Lu Hao refused directly, "I can't have it. I only have one request: be nice to my mother."
Even if a betrothal gift is given, it should not be given to him.
He believed in his mother's vision and the feelings between them did not need these external things to prove.
Lu Hao was resolute, and David smiled and said, "We will discuss this matter after the Chinese New Year."
