Chapter 10 Family Gatherings

After the meal, Zhang Lan and Li Ci chatted for a long time. In the end, they had to leave first because there were some things that needed to be dealt with. When they left, they did not forget to take away the garbage that Li Ci had accumulated over the past few days.

Li Ci spent the afternoon playing with his mobile phone quickly. After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Li Ci went out and called a Didi. The private car drove slowly on the road.

"Is it so congested?" Li Ci looked through the car window at the cars parked around him.

The driver said, "Young man, this is your first time in Xifu City! It's pretty good. When there were no traffic restrictions, it was just a traffic jam! I can't even give you a Lamborghini as fast as a bicycle."

"This is my first time in Hangzhou! How long will it take to get there?"

"It won't take long for the road to stop being so congested after this section. Why? Are you in a hurry?"

Li Ci shook his head and said, "No! Let's go have a meal. It would be embarrassing to keep them waiting for too long."

The driver turned his head and glanced at Li Ci, quite surprised, and said, "That place is a villa area. It is definitely not rich. Rich people are everywhere. The young man has not realized that you are also a person with a background."

Li Ci did not explain, but changed the topic and chatted with the driver.

It took nearly half an hour longer than expected before Li Ci arrived at Zhang Lan's home.

Zhang Lan repeatedly asked Li Ci many times to come over tonight, so Li Ci naturally found it difficult to refuse.

The door opened, Zhang Lan looked at Li Ci standing at the door, and said with a smile, "Xiao Ci is here, you can put on the slippers next to you. If there is fruit in the living room, you can sit down first. Auntie will cook first."

Li Ci was sitting on the sofa, and the coffee table next to him was filled with various fruits. Zhang Lan found a lot of fruit peel crumbs in Li Ci's home, and guessed that Li Ci liked to eat fruits, so he bought all kinds of fruits. This little

Li Ci, who can be said to have lived in two generations, naturally sees every small behavior clearly.

"Xiao Ci, I've cooked your favorite Dongpo Pork for you. You should eat more later." Zhang Lan's voice came from the kitchen.

Li Ci nodded and said, "Hmm!" His eyes wandered around. The whole house was quite Chinese-style. It seemed simple and unpretentious, but it was filled with fine carvings, top-quality sapphire wood furniture, and red sandalwood playthings.

, the flawless white Jade Buddha, the ancient and majestic bonsai, everything is full of luxurious beauty.

The door was opened and a man and a woman came in. The man was young and powerful and quite majestic, while the woman Zhong Lingyuxiu was full of life. The two of them were not surprised when they saw Li Ci and smiled at Li Ci.

Li Ci stood up and called out, "Hello, Uncle Bai!" based on the memory in his mind. He looked at the woman next to him, paused, and said, "Hello!"

Bai Qiangguo looked at Li Ci for a while and said, "Not bad, not bad. For so many years, your Aunt Lan has always thought that you were still there and worried that you would be hungry and tired. Now it seems that the worry is completely unfounded. Now that you are back, your Aunt Lan can be considered

I have recovered from my heartache. You have made Aunt Lan worry about you for so long, so I have to make a good apology to Aunt Lan today."

"Yeah!" Li Ci nodded.

"Xiao Su, haven't you been pestering Xiao Ci in the past? Why, why did you fall apart after not seeing each other for many years?" Bai Qiangguo reminded him when he saw Bai Su standing aside indifferently.

Bai Su glanced at Li Ci and said, "Who is pestering him? Hello, long time no see. Dad, I'm going to the bedroom first."

Bai Guoqiang looked at Bai Su's leaving back and shook his head helplessly, "The little girl has grown up and doesn't listen to me much anymore. Don't mind me, I don't know how happy she was when she heard the news of your return."

Li Ci smiled, would that girl be happy? Li Ci didn't really believe it. Li Ci has been Bai Su's nightmare since he went to school. Li Ci has been crushing Bai Su's moral, intellectual, physical, and artistic skills. Naturally, Li Ci also

He became a child from another family in Bai Su's eyes. Especially during the four years that Li Ci stayed in Bai Su's house, Bai Guoqiang and Zhang Lan took away at least 70% of the love they had for Bai Su.

I'm so ashamed of myself for being born so good.

"Xiao Ci, how do you feel about this? After the car accident, the salvage team searched for you for three days but still couldn't find you. Your Aunt Lan didn't sleep a wink for three whole days. You brat! After leaving like this..."

"Guoqiang, why are you talking to Xiaoci like this?" Zhang Lan's scolding voice came from the kitchen. "Can't you say something happy when Xiaoci comes back? You just pick out some rotten millet and numb things to talk about."

"Okay, okay, I'll just leave it alone." Bai Guoqiang immediately changed the subject and said, "To be honest, uncle and Aunt Lan are very grateful to you. If you hadn't pushed Xiao Su away at the beginning, Xiao Su would have been knocked into the river.

Xiao Su’s life was saved by you.”

Li Ci shook his head and said, "I have always regarded Xiao Su as my sister. It is the right thing for a brother to treat his sister, just like you take care of me."

"Yes, we are all a family."

The two kept talking, and Li Ci felt a lot more relaxed during their conversation. When talking to Aunt Lan, they mostly talked about trivial matters in life. Everything Li Ci said was fiction. Talking too much will inevitably lead to mistakes.

Li Ci had to think twice, but when chatting with Uncle Bai, he talked more about Li Ci's future plans, which was entirely up to him.

"It's time to eat." Zhang Lan walked to the living room and said, "Where is Xiao Su?"

"I ran into the room and didn't know what to do." Bai Guoqiang said and walked to the second floor. "I'm going to ask her to come down for dinner."

Li Ci stood up, holding the wine glass with both hands, and said, "Uncle Bai, Aunt Lan, thank you for your care over the years. If it weren't for you, I might have gone to an orphanage for the rest of my life. Uncle Bai just said that after my accident,

Aunt Lan, you haven't closed your eyes for three days, why don't you worry?"

After speaking, Li Ci drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp.

Zhang Lan's eyes were slightly red and she said, "It's great that you can come back, Xiaoci. After so many years, every time I think of you, I feel sorry for Jiajia. Now that you can come back intact, I have an explanation for your mother."

"Xiao Su, you toast a glass of wine to Xiao Ci." Bai Guoqiang said to Bai Su, "It was Xiao Ci who saved your life."

Bai Su Liao looked at Bai Guoqiang, and finally gave in under Bai Guoqiang's majestic expression. He filled the wine glass with Sprite, looked at Li Ci, and said respectfully, "Brother Xiao Ci, thank you for your life-saving grace. This little girl can't repay you.

I can only repay your kindness to brother Xiaoci by working as a cow or a horse in my next life."

At this moment, Li Ci finally understood what Song Xinsu meant when he said this to Song Xinsu.

"Why are you talking?" Bai Guoqiang said reproachfully, but he couldn't say the strong words, so he had to use chopsticks to knock off the meat that Bai Su was about to take away, and said, "Xiao Ci finally came back, you often

Please save some for Xiao Ci." Then he put the largest piece of meat into Li Ci's bowl, "Xiao Ci, this is Aunt Lan's specialty, please eat more."

Li Ci avoided Bai Su's eyes that wanted to kill him, and buried his head in picking up the rice. Bai Guoqiang's small action also completely reminded Zhang Lan. Various dishes came to Li Ci's bowl through Zhang Lan's chopsticks, and Bai Su

There were only a few lonely vegetable leaves in the bowl.

At this moment, Li Ci seemed to have returned to the time when he was 8 years old. At that time, Li Ci had just arrived at Aunt Lan's house. The little boy's bowl was filled with fish. The little girl glanced at her own bowl and then looked at the little boy's bowl pitifully.

vegetable.

This time Bai Su felt like he was back when he was abandoned.
