Chapter 57: Unexpected Person (2)
The kitchen was located on the first floor and his room was on the third floor, how could her granddaughter hear him?
Old master Huo lifted the covers and got up, standing on the third floor corridor, shouting down, “Xiaoxiao, you have a phone call.”
“Grandpa , please answer it for me!”
Old master Huo smiled helplessly and answered.
“Hi, Xiaoxiao!”
“Are you Zhouzhou? I’m Xiaxoxaio’s grandpa. What can I do for you?”
“Grandpa…”a surprised voice over the phone was followed by a panicked voice in such a low voice which sounded like his mouth was being covered but not properly, like the noise leaking out through the cracks of the fingers.
“Mom, it’s Xiaoxio’s grandpa over the phone. I,I,…what should i say?”
A clear and gentle voice deliberately lowered and whispered, “Greet him first then tell him what you want to say, don’t be afraid ok.”
He took a deep breath, then spoke loudly into the phone watch, “Hello ,grandpa, I’m …… I’m Huo Xiaoxiao’s classmate, my name is Lu Xingchen, is Xiaoxiao there?”
“Xiaoxiao is downstairs, you can tell me what you want to tell xiaoxiao.”
“I …… I had invited her to play at my house yesterday, but daddy said she had to stay at home with you today and couldn’t come.”
“Right, Xiaoxiao cannot go out today, you want to invite her out for another time?”
“Okay.” Zhouzhou thought about something, “Grandpa, since Xiaxiao can’t come to my house, then … Can I come over to your house?”
“Lu Xingchen!” a slightly stern voice was heard, then the same voice apologized to Old Master sincerely,”Sir, sorry, Xingchen he is too ……”
Listening to the voice, Grandpa Huo thought that the kid was as clever like Yi Qian and Xiaoxiao, old people like children,”It doesn’t matter, since it’s Xiaoxiao classmate, then let him come over to play, anyway
Xiaoxiao has nothing to do at home.”
“This is so embarrassing.”
“Its alright. This old man is also bored at home.”
The voice over the phone paused for a while, then laughed.”OK, then I will order someone to send the child over there. I should have personally come to visit, but I really can not leave, really sorry, next time have time to visit you personally, sorry to disturb you.”
“I understand, You young people are busy. I can understand. Huo Mansion is located in Changning district, send him here.”
Hanging up the phone, Old master Huo went back into his room to rest.
While downstairs, Huo Xiaoxiao tiptoed, looking at aunt Zhao who was frantically busy.
“Auntie zhao, these apples please bake it with cheese.
“Egg tarts must have cheese.
“Aunt, Aunt! Can I eat this pudding?”
Aunt Zhao was helpless, “Okay, let’s make you a pudding to eat first.”
The fragrance of dessert spread across the kitchen, Huo Xiaoxiao smelled it and was happy as she could be.
Usually, her father would not allow her to eat so many snacks and desserts, but today her father was not there, so she could feast in the name of entertaining her classmates, naturally she was very happy
Aunt Zhao was omnipotent regarding the matters in the kitchen. So it was no problem for her, she knew how to do it at a glance, these desserts, for her, were as simple to make as a cup of tea.
After sorting the censeliv, apple pie, cheese tart, southern-style fried chicken, sweet Yangzhi Ganlu and other desserts it looked like it was done by a professional chef.
TLN: sweet Yangzhi Ganlu – a chinese dessert consisting of mango, sago, etc..
Huo Xiaoxiao looked at the delicious dessert in front of her. She was becoming greedy. She raised her hand to call and ask Yi Qian how long he would take, but noticed that the phone watch is not in hand.
“Auntie, what time is it? Yi Qian still has not arrived.
“Let’s see – it’s been over half an hour, wait a little longer.”
“If you eat any more Yi Qian will not be able to eat, don’t you want these to entertain Yi Qian? Be patient and wait for a while. When Yi Qian comes, you can eat again.”
“Alright, I’ll go ask him where he is.”
Huo Xiaoxiao went upstairs, “ Grandpa where’s my phone watch.?”
“Here. “ Old master Huo handed it to her. “Oh, by the way, one of your classmates called you.”
Huo Xiaoxiao dialed Yi Qian’s phone while asking: “My classmates? Who was it?”
“Call….”
Before Old MAster Huo had finished speaking, Yi Qian answered the phone, “Hey Xiao Xiao, I’m almost there!”
“How long will you take?”
“Wait a minute, I’ll ask – uncle, how long do we have to arrive?”
A muffled male voice was heard over the phone watch, “It’s right around the corner. Another five minutes.”
“Xiaoxiao you heard him, I’ll be there in five minutes.”
Come on, I’ll wait for you at the door.
“Good.”
When the phone hung up, Huo Xiaoxiao looked at Old master huo, “Grandpa, auntie has made a lot of delicious food, do you want to come down and eat with me?” Suddenly she remembered something, “No, the doctor said you can’t eat sweet food, so now I’ll ask aunt to make something not sweet for grandpa to eat.”
“No, Grandpa won’t eat.”
“Truly you won’t?”
“Grandpa is not as greedy as you.”
“… All right, I’ll go down first.”
Huo Xiaoxiao rushed down, just to the door, saw Yi Qian’s car parked outside the courtyard, Yi Qian was getting out and walking inside, the driver also had a lot of things in his hands.
“Xiaoxiao!”
“You’re finally here!” Little grabbed his hand and walked inside, “I asked Aunt Zhao to prepare lots of delicious food for you – Aunt Zhao! Yi Qian is here, quickly bring out all the delicious food!”
Aunt Zhao smiled and gently pinched Huo Xiaoxaio’s cheek. “OK, I’ll bring them out for you.”
Different types of delicious desserts were laid out.
“Hey, Xiaoxiao, is this something you prepared especially for me?”
Huo Xiaoxiao had moved on when Yi Qian was surprised, chewing on the fried chicken, nodding her head.
“I also brought you a lot of delicious things.” Yi Qian turned around and brought out the things he brought.
Huo xiaoxiao has a handful of oil and stretches his neck to look at it, seems to see a fun one and reached out her hand to grab one of them.
“Wait a minute, you have oil on your hand, let me wipe it for you.” Yi Qian grabbed a paper napkin and carefully wiped the oil from her small hands.
The old master came down from upstairs and smiled cordially when he saw Yi Qian, “Yi Qian is here.”
“Hello, Grandpa Huo.”
Seeing that they were alone in the hall, Mr. Huo asked, “Xiao Xiao, do you still have a classmate who hasn’t come?”
Huo Xiaoxiao was a little confused, “There is a classmate?”
The words just fell, Uncle Chen led another child in, “Little, your classmate is here.”
Huo Xiaoxiao stood up and dropped the fried chicken she had in her hand, “Zhouzhou! How come you’re here too?”
