Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 242 - Adorable Second Uncle

Chapter 242 -242 Adorable Second Uncle

Gu Pan entered the kitchen, which wasn’t really trouble at all. During her spare time, she and Lu Ruisheng had washed a lot of vegetables, all chopped and packed into separate bags, with the meat sliced, shredded, and minced, all prepared and packed, even wood ear mushrooms and other mushrooms had been soaked and then stored in the “Space”.

There was also marinated meat and fried meatballs at home, making cooking truly not difficult.

Only the vegetables from the garden needed to be picked, washed, and chopped, the rest didn’t involve too many troublesome steps.

Today she made steamed dry fish, sautéed dried scallop dices, sautéed dried shrimp, meatballs, marinated meat, fish-flavored shredded pork, kung pao diced meat, stir-fried pork, sautéed vegetables, mixed cold dishes, bone soup, and a big pot of steamed two-grain rice.

Anyway, cooking still needs to match the current situation, so all dishes were made from dried, rehydrated seafood, wild boar meat, salted meat, pickled vegetables, and so on.

Smelling the food, Lu Ruisheng washed his hands and went to help serve the dishes.

Lu Jianguo naturally washed his hands and started to set the table.

Lu Jianshe also washed his hands intending to help with something, but as soon as he smelled the aroma, he couldn’t help entering the kitchen and, looking at the dishes, he swallowed his saliva, “Isn’t this a bit too lavish?”

Gu Pan said with a smile, “Second Uncle came all this way just to see us, it’s the least we should do.”

Lu Jianshe remarked, “No, I mean, your meals are really too good, aren’t they?”

Lu Ruisheng said, “Well, Second Uncle can stay at my place during this period, and we’ll cook delicious food for you every day.”

Lu Jianshe was overjoyed, “Okay, then I’ll stay with you guys. There’s no fun at your dad’s.”

Amidst laughter, Gu Pan served another dish.

Lu Jianshe helped to carry out the food.

Lu Ruisheng helped Gu Pan wash the dishes they used; they were accustomed to cleaning up while cooking.

Soon, all the food was on the table, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng had also finished tidying up and brought over wine and wine glasses to the table.

They had red, white, and beer—three kinds of alcohol present. They set them down, placed the glasses, and took their seats.

Lu Ruisheng said, “I’m not sure which type of wine Second Uncle prefers, so we brought them all out, you can choose.”

Lu Jianshe looked at the Maotai Liquor, “This is one I’ve been craving for too long, I’ll drink this one.”

Lu Jianguo frowned, “With Su Qing not by your side, you’re really not considering much, you can only have one glass, then switch to beer.”

Lu Jianshe’s smile was somewhat awkward, “Big brother, can’t you save me some face in front of the kids?”

Lu Jianguo pursed his lips, “Save face at home? They wouldn’t dare laugh at you.”

Watching her husband and brother-in-law bicker, Gu Pan couldn’t help but smile as she went to fetch two small liquor cups and placed them on the table.

Lu Ruisheng opened the Maotai and poured a cup for Lu Jianshe: “Second Uncle, health is the most important thing. Since Second Aunt isn’t here to supervise, we’ll have to do it, so just one cup for you.”

Lu Jianshe nodded smilingly, “Alright, alright, I’ll listen to my nephew, one cup, just one cup.”

Lu Ruisheng also poured a cup for Lu Jianguo, “Dad, you too, just this one.”

Seeing Lu Ruisheng set down the bottle, Gu Pan picked it up and poured a cup for Lu Ruisheng, “You join Dad and Second Uncle for one.”

Lu Ruisheng smiled without objection, “Then I’ll join in for one too.”

Gu Pan poured herself a glass of juice.

Lu Jianguo lifted his glass, “Welcome, Second Uncle. Let’s drink together.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng joined him in a sip. They were all family, so there was no need to insist on downing the drink in one gulp. Drinking was just for a bit of fun.

Lu Jianguo set down his cup and said to Lu Jianshe, “Hurry up and try Panpan’s cooking. I bet once you’ve eaten it, you won’t want to leave.”

Lu Jianshe had a bite of the braised meat, “Delicious. It really takes me back to before the apocalypse.”

Lu Jianguo then served him some Yu Xiang Rou Si, “The flavor of this is even more authentic.”

Gu Pan said, “This was made from a meal kit—there’s even slices of hot pepper in it. They didn’t skimp on the ingredients.” Hmm, actually, it was a ready-made dish directly taken from ‘Space.’ She indeed wanted them to taste the flavors of the past.

After Lu Jianshe finished eating, his eyes lit up, “It’s so good, just like what we had in restaurants before the apocalypse.”

As he spoke, he couldn’t stop his chopsticks, continuously eating and praising how good it was.

Lu Jianguo felt the same. Every time he ate here, it was a true feast.

Today, both Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng ate quite a bit as well. Although they always ate well, today was different, today was happier.

After the meal, Lu Ruisheng went to clean up the dishes and Gu Pan brewed some tea. Then she prepared a plate of dried fruits and hawthorn cakes, placing them on the coffee table, worried they might have eaten too much and felt indigestion.

Lu Jianshe’s face was a bit red, but he hadn’t drunk much—just enough to become talkative.

Once he started, he told all about what had happened over the years.

He told them that Lu Lianlian’s husband, Chen Kejin, was now the person the old man trusted most. With the old master’s support, Lu Lianlian and her husband were thriving.

He also talked about how the old lady had grown even more yearning for her grandson now that she was older, and had been trying to convince the old master to move Lu Ruiming over. He figured it wouldn’t be long before the old master would send word to Lu Jianguo regarding this matter.

Lu Jianguo asked Lu Jianshe, “You haven’t mentioned finding Shengsheng to the old master yet, have you?”

He actually didn’t care about the old master’s opinion anymore. As long as his son was cherished by himself and his brother, it didn’t matter. The old master had never been that good to them, so whether he was told or not, it wasn’t important.

However, Lu Jianshe had a different view from his elder brother, “Of course, I have to tell him. How else will we disappoint and anger that old lady? Brother, you don’t know, when the old lady heard that Shengsheng had been found, her face turned the color of pig liver.”

Lu Jianguo laughed, “She really doesn’t want us to have descendants, nor does she want our offspring to thrive.”

After laughing, he couldn’t help but ask, “What did the old master say?” This wasn’t expectation but curiosity—his hope for paternal affection had long been extinguished.

“The old master was of course happy. After all, this is his eldest grandson. He may pretend to be deaf and dumb, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like Shengsheng. He just trusts that old lady too much. When he heard Shengsheng had been found, he even said to bring Shengsheng back; he wants to see his eldest grandson. Fat chance, as if I’d let him see,” boasted Lu Jianshe with pride.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng couldn’t help but laugh at this. Second Uncle really was an interesting person.

Lu Jianguo sighed upon hearing this, “He’s not a qualified grandfather.”

“He’s not a qualified father either,” Lu Jianshe said with unequivocal assessment.

Lu Jianguo suddenly realized something and looked at Lu Ruisheng, “Shengsheng, Dad saying they are not good is not to instill any ideas in you. I just…”

He didn’t know how to proceed. He knew he lacked a lot in terms of education, and his son he found was already grown up. He had heard you shouldn’t fill a child’s mind with notions of a dysfunctional family, as it’s harmful for their growth.

On one hand, he felt his son was a grown adult with a family, unlikely to be influenced. But on the other hand, he wondered if his son had missed out on a lot of familial warmth and if he should give him more positive and uplifting information.

Lu Jianshe seemed to have grasped his elder brother’s meaning, but still didn’t know what to say. Frankly, he had hit a blind spot in his knowledge and, completely flustered, scratched his head. Looking at Lu Ruisheng, he was so worked up, his face turned red with effort.
