Chapter 99: Ninety-eight, Housewarming Gift
Zhao Aishu smiled and nodded, "Hello! I’ve heard Aunt mention you before, you work at the Public Security Office, right?" To tell the truth, she did not really like people like Chen Zhihe, they were too worldly.
"Yes, I didn’t expect you to know about me, it’s truly an honor!" Chen Zhihe said excitedly. If he could make a good impression in front of The Prefectural Magistrate’s Wife, his chances of getting promoted were looking up.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone took a seat on the redwood sofas in the living room. The furniture in the house was very complete, all left for Luo Shu by Ning Moyao.
"Luo Shu, Aunt will have Xiao Zhang deliver the television to you tomorrow." Zhao Aishu originally planned to give Luo Shu the television directly, but thinking that Luo Shu didn’t have a car and it would be inconvenient to go to the city, she changed her mind.
"Okay," Luo Shu said with a smile, nodding. She certainly understood Zhao Aishu’s kindness.
"I just took a look and think we should also buy a washing machine. It’s inconvenient to wash clothes in the cold weather," Zhao Aishu said. Now she wished she could provide Luo Shu with everything she needed.
"Aunt, I can get that myself," Luo Shu said, moved as she held Zhao Aishu’s hand. Zhao Aishu reminded her of her own mother, but in this life, they might never see each other again.
She missed her family very much, but with her current identity, she simply couldn’t enter the Divine Doctor Family. So she needed to work hard, to become strong, and then maybe one day she could see her family again.
Even if she couldn’t be reunited with them in this life, just seeing them would make her very happy.
While they were chatting, someone knocked on the courtyard door again.
Upon opening the door, they saw Zhou Chang standing outside, with two men behind him carrying a washing machine.
Seeing Luo Shu, Zhou Chang revealed an elegant smile, "I heard you bought a new house and came over especially to congratulate you. You won’t refuse to welcome me, will you?"
Luo Shu smiled faintly, "Come in!" As the saying goes, a visitor comes with blessings; naturally, she couldn’t turn someone away from her door.
After the washing machine was carried into the courtyard, Zhou Chang said, "Luo Shu, this is a housewarming gift from our family, and you must accept it."
"Thank you very much!" Luo Shu said, expressing her gratitude with a smile.
There was a local custom that for housewarming or any joyous occasion at home, one could not return the gifts received. Otherwise, it would be considered unlucky for both the giver and the receiver. Even if she didn’t like it, she had no intention of returning the washing machine.
However, in a few days, she planned to give two jars of Snow Skin Cream to Qin Lanxiang as a return gift. She didn’t want to interact too much with the Zhou Family.
"Aunt Xu!" Zhou Chang greeted Zhao Aishu with a smile as he walked into the house.
"Zhou Chang has arrived," Zhao Aishu said, nodding with a smile. She was aware of Zhou Chang’s intentions, but unfortunately, the prince had dreams, and the divine maiden had none.
"I heard Luo Shu bought a house and came to take a look. The environment here is really nice." Zhou Chang had always liked this kind of courtyard house. The Zhou Family’s old house was of this style, but of course much larger than this.
After chatting for a while, Luo Shu checked the time and suggested that they go to the biggest restaurant in town for a meal as a housewarming dinner.
Everyone naturally had no objections. Usually, the host of a new house would invite guests for a meal.
The group arrived at the grandest welcome restaurant in the town.
Luo Shu surveyed the restaurant’s environment and asked the server, "Do you have private rooms available?" Though there were seats in the main dining area, private rooms would obviously be preferred.
"No!" the server murmured to himself. Thinking she was some kind of leader, huh? A private room? It would be good enough to eat in the main dining hall.
Chen Zhihe stepped forward, looking sternly at the server, "Comrade, I remember that there are two private rooms here; are they taken right now?" Having eaten here twice, he was quite familiar with the place. And with Zhao Aishu and Zhou Chang’s status, how could they possibly be eating in the main hall?
The server’s face changed, realizing they knew about the private rooms and were probably not ordinary people. After taking another look at the attire of Luo Shu and the others, he said with a smile, "I’m new here, I’ll go ask for you, please wait a moment!"
After the server left, an older server soon arrived. Seeing Chen Zhihe, she smiled and said, "Follow me, please. There’s a private room upstairs." She had seen Chen Zhihe once and knew he was from the Public Security Office.
The private room wasn’t very big, but it was very clean.
The table was covered with a light yellow tablecloth, and the napkins were folded into beautiful silk flowers, pleasing to the eye.
Once everyone was seated, the server handed the menu to Chen Zhihe. In her view, he seemed to be the leader of the group.
Chen Zhihe smiled as he received the menu and handed it to Luo Shu beside him. Among these people, he didn’t even count in the ranking, and naturally had no right to order.
Luo Shu took the menu and handed it to Zhao Aishu next to her, "Aunt, you order."
Zhao Aishu shook her head with a smile, "You order, you’re the host today."
"Alright then!" Luo Shu opened the menu and started looking through it.
At that time, restaurants were state-owned, and because not many people ate out regularly, there weren’t many dishes to choose from. After asking for everyone’s preferences, Luo Shu ordered eight dishes, one soup, and a plate of pastries.
