Chapter 41 - 41: Already Family



What did the lighter mean?

Hence, she used her phone to search online.

After searching for the answer, Liuli was so shocked that she was speechless.

No wonder Uncle Tang asked her if she knew what it meant to give a man a lighter.

Liuli really wanted to say, “Uncle, aren’t you overthinking things?”

At this moment, her cell phone rang.

Liuli saw that it was from Uncle Tang.

There were only a few words in the message… I’m home. Goodnight!

Liuli replied with a smile.

“What took you so long? Did you take the Eleventh Road?”

At this moment, Tang Moxi called.

Liuli felt that Uncle Tang really didn’t like to text people.

Sometimes, he would call directly after replying to a message.

For example, he was calling now.

“Hello…” Liuli picked up.

“What’s Eleventh Road?” Tang Moxi asked on the other end of the phone.

“It means you walked. You don’t even know about this?!”

“One allowance!” Tang Moxi reminded her.

“Huh? This time doesn’t count. Brother… Brother Moxi, you can’t be so petty!” Liuli finally reacted and hurriedly said.

“Don’t do it again!”

“Okay!” Liuli immediately replied excitedly.

“Why aren’t you in bed yet?” Tang Moxi asked.

“I’m about to go to bed. By the way, apologize to Grandpa Tang tomorrow morning. I might not be able to cook red braised pork for him until tonight.

Because I’m going to visit my grandfather with my grandma tomorrow morning!” Liuli explained.

“Alright, I’ll come and pick you guys up tomorrow!”

“Huh? No need. Perhaps our entire family will go together!”

“We’re engaged, so I should accompany you to visit your grandfather!

I wonder if there are any taboos.

You can ask my grandma tomorrow.

I’ll come over tomorrow morning!”

“Oh, okay!” Liuli couldn’t help but feel touched. Uncle Tang was so considerate!

“Go to sleep. Wake up early tomorrow!”

“Yes, I’ve already set the alarm! Oh right, Brother Moxi, 1 know what it means!” Liuli said in embarrassment.

“What do you mean?” Tang Moxi asked in confusion.

“What giving a lighter means!”

“Mm!” Tang Moxi replied.

Liuli was stunned. What did he mean?

Tang Moxi asked again.

“Doesn’t that suit you?”

“Huh? Um… Brother Moxi, you can interpret it that way.”

“I’m going to sleep. Good night, Brother Moxi!” Liuli hung up the phone again and left.

She only thought about how Mr. Tang smoked and didn’t know what other gift to buy.

She would just buy a lighter for him.

She didn’t think of anything else.

She didn’t expect that giving a man a lighter would have such an ambiguous meaning.

However, this underlying meaning seemed quite nice.

Therefore, if the man was willing to understand it this way, then so be it.

Just as Liuli was laughing foolishly, she received another message from Mr. Tang.

“Thank you!”

As Liuli stared at the two words, she started to ponder again.

Thank her for what?

Was he thanking her for the gift?

Or was he thanking her for giving him a lighter?

Alright, if it was a gift, the man had already thanked her.

He was thanking her for the deeper meaning behind giving him a lighter.

This felt pretty good.

Liu Li couldn’t help but laugh.

Then, she fell asleep on her stomach.

When the alarm clock rang in the morning, Liuli had yet to react.

She wondered what kind of noise it was!

She grabbed the pillow and covered the source of the sound.

However, it was still very noisy. After a few minutes, she finally realized that the alarm had rung.

She took her cell phone and was about to turn it off when she remembered that she was going to visit her grandfather today.

Hence, she quickly pressed the alarm and got up.

Then, she rushed into the bathroom to wash up.

Then, she picked out a set of clothes from the closet and changed into them.

Then, she put her phone box and wallet into her small bag and carried it downstairs.

The entire family had already woken up. She was the last to wake up.

Sigh, in fact, it was one of the few days she woke up early after returning home.

Recalling what the man had told her last night, Liuli walked to her grandma’s side and asked,

“Grandma, can Brother Moxi come with us to visit Grandpa today?”

“Is he coming with us?” Grandma Yu was a little surprised and turned to ask Liuli.

“I mentioned this to him yesterday. He said that we’re engaged, so he should visit Grandpa.

However, he wondered if there were any taboos, so he let me ask you first.”

“There’s no taboo. If he’s free, let’s go together!” Grandma Yu replied.

“Then I’ll go and call Brother Moxi.” Liuli took out her cell phone from her bag and walked to the side to call Mr. Tang.

This time, the phone didn’t ring for long before Mr. Tang’s voice came through.

“Liu Li…”

“Brother Moxi, Grandma said that if you’re free, you can go with us!” Liuli replied with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll be there in half an hour,” Tang Moxi replied on the other end of the phone.

“We’ll wait for you. Take your time. We haven’t had breakfast yet,” Liuli replied.

“Alright!”

After the call with Mr. Tang, Liuli put away her cell phone, walked over, and said to Grandma,

“Grandma, Brother Moxi said he’ll be here in about half an hour.”

“Has he had breakfast? Why don’t we wait for him to eat with us?” Grandma Yu asked.

“Oh, I forgot to ask!”

Liuli could only call Tang Moxi again.

“I’ve already eaten. You guys don’t have to wait for me!”

“Oh, okay, then drive slowly!”

After Liuli hung up, she turned around and reported to Grandma.

“Brother Moxi said that he has already eaten. We don’t have to wait for him!”

Grandma Yu nodded.

“Then let’s go have breakfast first!”

After Liuli and the rest finished their breakfast, Tang Moxi arrived.

Liuli went to open the door.

“Good morning, Brother Moxi!”

“Morning!”

After Tang Moxi entered the house, he greeted them one by one.

Liuli stood behind him. She wanted to laugh, but she didn’t dare to.

Otherwise, she would definitely be reprimanded by her mom again.

“Jingxing, don’t you have to work today?” Lin Yu asked.

“Not today,” Tang Moxi replied.

They were supposed to have a morning meeting, but because they were going to pay respects to Liuli’s grandfather, they pushed it to nighttime.

“That’s good!” Lin Yu nodded.

Now that Tang Moxi was here, everyone was ready to set off.

Tang Moxi got the chauffeur to drive a business car over today.

This way, their family could fit in the spacious car.

After getting into the car, the group drove towards the cemetery.

Liuli wasn’t as lively as she was in the morning. She was so quiet that she didn’t seem like herself.

She sat at the back with Tang Moxi, while her parents and Grandma sat at the front.

Tang Moxi reached out and put his arm around her shoulder. He didn’t say anything and just hugged her silently to give her strength.

Liuli thought, Mr. Tang should be able to understand her current feelings!

She turned to look at Tang Moxi and met his concerned gaze.

Liuli’s heart warmed, but she still squeezed out a smile.

“It’s uglier than a grimace!” Tang Moxi lowered his head and whispered into her ear.

Liuli was instantly enraged and glared at Tang Moxi.

Tang Moxi didn’t mind.

Liuli felt that she was acting quite childish, so she didn’t argue with Tang Moxi.

She leaned back in her chair quietly.

However, Liuli actually fell asleep in Mr. Tang’s arms.

She actually fell asleep…

Tang Moxi only woke her up when the car stopped.

After Liuli woke up, she was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses when she heard her mom’s voice.

“Liuli, get out of the car. What are you waiting for?”

“Oh!” Liuli responded and quickly got out of the car.

After the family registered, they went up the mountain to pay their respects.

Liuli’s eyes turned red when she saw her grandfather’s tombstone.

Tang Moxi kept holding her hand.

She followed her family to pay her respects.

Grandma placed the flowers in front of her grandpa’s tombstone and asked her father to pick up the dead leaves that had fallen on her grandpa’s tombstone.

Then, she took out an embroidered handkerchief from her pocket and carefully wiped her grandfather’s tombstone.

From this simple action, Liuli felt that her grandma still had deep feelings for her grandfather.

After the family paid their respects, they left some time for Grandma to interact with Grandpa alone. The others left first.

Liuli and Tang Moxi sat on the stone steps down the mountain.

Liuli choked and said,

“My grandfather and Grandma were very close.

If they had anything good, they would always think of leaving it for each other.

When I was young, my family was very poor. At that time, I didn’t even eat meat often, let alone anything else.

Sometimes, when there was a happy occasion in someone else’s family, my grandfather would give me some and leave some for Grandma.

Grandma liked sweets.

However, my grandma couldn’t bear to eat them and left them all to me.

Grandma would occasionally cook red braised pork, but she would only cook it when Grandpa returned.

Later on, our family became more well-off.

But this habit had not changed.

However, because my grandfather was injured when he was young, his health had never been good.

When I was in my third year of junior high school, my grandfather passed away.

Before Grandpa left, he even instructed Dad and Mom not to let me know.

He was afraid that it would affect my performance on the exam…” Liuli couldn’t continue anymore and tears flowed out of her eyes.

Tang Moxi pulled Liuli into his arms.

“He will know about your filial piety!”

“I miss Grandpa so much, but he won’t come back anymore,” Liuli replied as she shook her head.

“He’ll be watching us from heaven.

He will be happy to see you happy!”

“Grandpa, can you really see us?”

“I will!” Tang Moxi stroked Liuli’s head as he comforted her.

“Uncle, why do you like to touch my head every time? I’m not a child!” Liuli suddenly said.

“Because in my heart, you’re a girl who needs to be doted on!”

“Will you still think so after we’re married?” Liuli looked at Tang Moxi as she asked seriously.

“In my eyes, you’ll always be a girl who makes my heart ache..
