Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1631 7 Heart Tablets 12

The matter was completely resolved, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lao Zheng came over and told everyone to go downstairs to eat. "Xiaoshang River produces cattle and sheep. Mutton is best eaten in autumn and winter. You young people should like barbecue more. I have also prepared a lot of vegetables and seafood."

Luo Pinting slept for three days and three nights in a row, and just woke up now. She talked for such a long time. If Jiang Xinxin had not passed some spiritual power to her to calm her emotions, she might have fainted from hunger by now.

As the elder, Lao Zheng was very tactful and stayed in the house to drink mutton soup, leaving the barbecue stall in the backyard to the young people. Yiwansan and Cao Yanhua were very happy, especially Yiwansan, who directly and shamelessly took the position of chef.

Yiwansansan laid out all the lamb skewers in a very imposing manner, almost occupying the entire grill. Cao Yanhua looked at the ladies and reminded them, "Ladies, you might like to eat some vegetables first..."

Yisan chuckled and said, "We've already come to Xiaoshang River, why would we eat vegetarian food?"

"Aren't these beef and mutton with different flavors from Lixi good enough? You have to eat vegetarian food."

Cao Yanhua was too lazy to remind him that the others were already feasting on the lamb ribs that Lao Zheng had prepared earlier, and that their grilled vegetables would be just enough to relieve the greasiness.

Seeing that Yi Wan San didn't even understand this, Cao Yanhua went over to pour lemonade for everyone, feeling that he was worried to death about Yi Wan San.

Luo Pinting, who was holding a bowl of mutton soup but had not yet received the mutton, looked at her brother Luo Ren, Xiaodao, with sparkling eyes. He was always paying attention to Jiang Xinxin's every move and taking good care of her. She felt very happy and wished she could hold a wedding for the two of them tomorrow so that Jiang Xinxin could become a part of this family.

Huo Zihong is an adult with a strong mind. He has experienced a lot and also raised Mu Dai. Therefore, he is very grateful to Jiang Xinxin and elevates Jiang Xinxin's status in his heart, but he will not rely on Jiang Xinxin like a savior.

Luo Pinting was different. Deep down, she had been expecting someone to save her for too long. However, this idea, which represented weakness and flaws, was buried deep in her heart and never saw the light of day.

But when everything happened, Luo Pinting quickly developed trust in Jiang Xinxin, and at the same time, she became unconsciously dependent on her and hated to leave her even a step.

In order to achieve such conditions, perhaps her brother Xiaodao would have to make a small sacrifice. If she could take advantage of this and become a member of Jiang Xinxin's family, that would be the best thing!

Luo Ren felt a chill on his back. When he raised his head, Luo Pinting's gaze was already on Jiang Xinxin again.

Luo Ren just felt that something was wrong. He knew that Luo Pinting had become too dependent on Jiang Xinxin. It was normal for her to have such emotions, but they still had things to do next. Pinting was weak and it might not be convenient for her to follow.

It is known that Jiang Xinxin is a registered resident of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. When traveling to Lixi, they will go to at least six places to look for the fragments of the Heart Tablet. So the question is, should Pinting be sent to Lixi to recuperate, or to Shenzhen and Hong Kong?

Luo Ren couldn't make up his mind for a while and had no intention of taking Luo Pinting with him.

Yisansan and Cao Yanhua brought two plates of grilled lamb skewers and said, "Eat first, there are vegetables over there!"

The young people were chatting and laughing together, mainly Yiwansan and Cao Yanhua, and the others were cheering and agreeing with them. The scene suddenly became lively. Old Zheng in the room listened and felt that if Luo Ren got married and had children as soon as possible, the family would be lively.

After dinner, everyone lay down in the backyard, not wanting to move. Lao Zheng came over to help clean up and suggested, "Hey, why don't you stay in the hotel? Move home. At least it will be more convenient for you to have three meals a day."

"No matter how luxurious the hotel's decoration is, it still feels cold and homey, without a trace of homely warmth."

Yiwansan saw clearly Luo Ren's thoughts about Jiang Xinxin at the dinner table. He thought he had a pretty good eye for people and thought Luo Ren was a good match. He and Jiang Xinxin were a perfect match, so he was the first to respond: "Okay, okay, move in, move in. Thank you, Uncle Zheng, for the treat!"

Cao Yanhua also agreed to move in. "The boss lady even prepared a lot of ingredients. If we want to make it in the hotel, we have to pay extra, which is very expensive."

Seeing that things were about to develop in a direction she didn't want to see, Jiang Xinxin quickly refused: "Let's not move. I have to go out in the next two days, and moving back and forth will be troublesome."

Mu Dai also meant the same thing and stood up to explain, but Yimansan slid behind her and said in a low voice, "A gentleman should help others achieve their goals~"

Following Yiwansan's gaze, Mu Dai realized belatedly that Luo Ren was looking at Jiang Xinxin with a look of reluctance, and Luo Pinting even hugged Jiang Xinxin's arm tightly, acting coquettishly and wanting Jiang Xinxin to live in her house.

Mu Dai's mind was completely bewildered. When had Luo Ren been treating Jiang Xinxin? How had she not noticed anything? She was clearly with Jiang Xinxin all the time, except when she slept at night!

Yisansan and Cao Yanhua acted first and asked Lao Zheng to arrange a car to go to the hotel to pick up the luggage. "Oh, there's no rush to leave. We can stay in Xiaoshang River for two more days to consume the food we brought from Lixi."

Old Zheng nodded in agreement, and Luo Pinting looked at Luo Ren with a look of disappointment. Luo Ren realized it later and quickly spoke to keep him, "Yes, our Xiaoshang River has not only mountains and rivers, but also deserts. It's a perfect place to watch the stars at night—"

Luo Pinting immediately followed up, "Yes, yes. My brother has taken me to see it many times, and every time I never feel satisfied. Watching the stars in the desert is really special. The sky is so clear, and the stars are so bright, it seems like you can just reach out and pluck them!"

Luo Pinting described it in great detail. Mu Dai was also a little girl, so she couldn't help but be moved. "Sister Jiang, why don't we stay for two more days——"

Jiang Xinxin smiled and sat down again. She sighed softly and said, "Yi Wansan and Cao Yanhua have already gone to get their luggage. How can I just turn around and leave?"

Luo Ren was also happy now, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. "I'll take you out to see the stars tonight. It's going to be a sunny day tomorrow, and the starry sky tonight will definitely be very beautiful."

Luo Pingting raised her hand to ask Jiang Xinxin's opinion: "Sister Jiang, can I sleep on the floor in your room?"

"I feel safe when you're around!"

Jiang Xinxin declined politely, "Why don't I light another stick of calming incense for you? You've suffered too much in the past two years, and you deserve more rest."

Luo Pinting was a considerate girl. She could tell Jiang Xinxin had refused, but she was only happy to have another stick of calming incense. However, she said, "Sister Jiang, you should quickly take back the incense burner with the dragon pattern. It's too valuable. If it gets damaged, I'll really be a sinner—"
