Chapter 248: Chapter 248: The Female Leadâs Godmother (3)_1 Chapter 248: Chapter 248: The Female Leadâs Godmother (3)_1 âItâll be within the next one or two months, but the exact date isnât clear.â
Lu Zhiwei stood up, walked around the living room, and finally stopped at the doorway, saying, âThatâs fine. Actually, thereâs no rush for this matter. Itâs just I rarely meet someone I can talk to, so I got a bit impatient. How about this: once your sister-in-law comes back, you two discuss it again. Thereâs no need to hurry within these one or two months.â
After all, they really werenât in any rush. In the vicinity of their sixth production team, most of the villages didnât have electricity, and even in the whole town, only a few villages had power. To expect widespread access to electricity would probably take at least a year or so to realize.
They had no need to be so anxious.
âAlright, then weâll definitely give you a firm answer when the time comes,â Ruan Jianguo, always decisive, immediately replied.
Lunch was at the Ruan Familyâs.
The Ruanlin Family was not stingy with good food, cooking a chicken and making a spicy rabbit dish, plus a few seasonal vegetables and homemade pickles, almost ten dishes in total. They also got half a pot of homemade liquor from the local rascal, setting a full table.
âWe didnât know you were coming, otherwise we would have definitely bought some good liquor in town. This is our homemade liquor, made from sorghum. Try it and see if it suits your taste,â the Ruanlin Family apologized, worried that the city folks might not be accustomed to their liquor.
âAuntie, look at you. I just said thereâs no need for formalities, and here you go being polite again,â Lu Zhiwei complained with feigned displeasure.
The Ruanlin Family laughed, âYes, yes, my fault. Come on, everyone, donât be shy, letâs eat.â
Ruan Jianguo called Ruan Jiandang over from next door.
The three of them drank and chatted cheerfully. Zhao Li saw Ruan Jiaojiao stepping out and immediately became happy, picking up a chicken thigh, âJiaojiao, come over, this is for you.â
âSheâs already got something. This is for Xiaoxuan to eat,â the Ruanlin Family replied with a smile, declining.
âWhatâs for the little guy to eat? Itâs better for Little Jiaojiao,â Zhao Li insisted, looking at Ruan Jiaojiao with the chicken thigh in hand.
Ruan Jiaojiao was holding her own porcelain bowl, actually not wanting to accept it but also not wanting to create an awkward scene, so she went over to take it.
âHey, this kid is really adorable.â As Zhao Li placed the chicken thigh in her bowl, her face showed sheer fondness, and she even pinched Jiaojiaoâs little cheek, clearly very much smitten.
ââŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao.
Feeling a bit helpless. She hadnât done anything, and she didnât know what there was to like about her.
After lunch, the Lu Family stayed at the Ruanâs for another hour or two before they prepared to leave.
Xiu Xi constantly stuck by Ruan Jiaojiaoâs side, and Lu Xian simply couldnât find the opportunity to give her the chocolate. It was only just before they left, in front of everyone, that he pulled her aside and took out a handful of chocolate beans from his pockets, stuffing them all into Ruan Jiaojiaoâs.
Zhao Li and Lu Zhiwei were both stunned.
Then they exchanged smiles with the Ruan Family and burst into laughter.
Zhao Li joked with the Ruanlin Family, âI was wondering why he insisted on coming with us today, wouldnât even go to the gaming parlor with his uncle. Turns out he was waiting here!â
Lu Xian, his face turning red, glared at her, âMom!â
âHahahaâŠâ Zhao Li still laughed, turning to the Ruan Family to say, âLook at that, the boy knows how to feel embarrassed.â
Now even more embarrassed, Lu Xian pursed his lips, glanced at the fair and tender Ruan Jiaojiao, and despite feeling extremely bashful, still said, âEat these for now, Iâll bring you more next time.â With that, he hastily climbed back onto the motorcycle.
