Chapter 85 My daughter is the hope to save the White Rhino brand
As they ate, Lu Yuanqiu finally couldn't help but speak:
"You should eat too. Don't just feed your dad. Your dad can use chopsticks. I saw him use them in the hospital."
Lu Yuanqiu discovered that Bai Qingxia had been holding the bowl and feeding Uncle Bai with chopsticks, but she herself hadn't eaten a single bite.
She even took out a new bowl and put a little bit of each of the four dishes from the edge into the bowl. Then she sat next to her father with the bowl in her hand and fed him.
It was as if the four dishes and one soup on the table were prepared only for Lu Yuanqiu, and she and her father were not worthy of eating at the table...
This feeling made Lu Yuanqiu feel a little uncomfortable.
It is true that I am a guest, but my status is not that noble!
Bai Qingxia said embarrassedly: "My father is not honest when he eats by himself. He will use chopsticks to pick up food everywhere and push the food off the plate..."
Lu Yuanqiu: "So what? I don't mind. This is your home. I don't mind even if he stabs my face with his chopsticks! You two should come and eat together. What kind of attitude is this? You let me sit here and eat alone."
Bai Qingxia pursed her lips slightly and compromised: "Okay."
Three minutes later, the scene changed.
Uncle Bai bent over and concentrated on pinching Lu Yuanqiu's nose with chopsticks, as if he was staring at some delicacy.
Lu Yuanqiu: “…”
Oh my god, I was just talking, will he really pinch me in the face?
Bai Qingxia stepped forward to stop him, pressed down her father's arm, and said sternly, "You can't do this!"
Uncle Bai glanced at his daughter timidly, then sat back on his stool obediently, holding chopsticks in one hand and bowl in the other, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Xia Xia is not angry..."
He lowered his head and asked in a childish voice.
Bai Qingxia ignored her father this time and just sat there glaring at him.
Lu Yuanqiu stared at the father and daughter stupidly and didn't step forward to act as a peacemaker because he suddenly felt that Bai Qingxia was so cute when she glared at him, with her rosy cheeks.
It turns out that she is not cute only when she glares at me. When she glares at others in front of me, she is still quite pleasing to the eye.
Bai Qingxia: "You can't do this next time, understand?"
Lu Yuanqiu immediately raised his hand: "I know, I know, I won't dare to do it again next time."
Hearing the boy's answer, Bai Qingxia looked at him in surprise and whispered apologetically: "Didn't I tell you..."
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and said, "I know. Don't be mean to uncle. He can't tell right from wrong. He just pinched my nose. It won't hurt. He didn't pinch my eyes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuanqiu seemed to realize something and reflexively crossed one leg and raised his hand to cover his eyes, fearing that Uncle Bai would really use chopsticks to pinch his eyes again if he said something wrong...
But Uncle Bai didn't move at all.
Bai Qingxia stared at Lu Yuanqiu blankly, not understanding what he was doing just now.
"Ahem, let's eat."
Lu Yuanqiu dug his toes into the ground and lowered his head in embarrassment.
……
After dinner, Bai Qingxia went to the corridor outside to wash the dishes, while Lu Yuanqiu sat on the edge of the bed and talked to Uncle Bai.
In fact, the two of them had nothing to talk about. Lu Yuanqiu treated him like a five or six-year-old child.
"Uncle, look at me, what is this?"
Lu Yuanqiu pointed with two fingers.
Uncle Bai: "This is not a chicken, it's a duck! A group of ducks swam under the bridge in front of the door! Come and count them..."
He suddenly started singing a nursery rhyme.
Lu Yuanqiu listened to this childish nursery rhyme, let out a silent breath, and put his fingers down.
I didn’t know whose family the uncle in overalls was from before, I just thought he was cute and adorable looking at his silly look.
But after knowing that he was Bai Qingxia's father, Lu Yuanqiu felt worried. As a daughter, Bai Qingxia treated her father like her own child over the years.
As he was lost in thought, Lu Yuanqiu turned his head to look at Uncle Bai, because Uncle Bai's singing suddenly stopped without any warning.
He seemed to have returned to normal in an instant, and his expression returned to the mature look that a middle-aged man should have.
Uncle Bai stared at the air behind Lu Yuanqiu, staring at him seriously, then he spoke slowly, but his voice was no longer as childish as before:
"Mr. Zheng, my daughter is the hope for saving the White Rhino brand."
Lu Yuanqiu was stunned, but immediately became serious when he heard these words.
He first looked back to make sure there was no one behind him, then looked at Uncle Bai.
"Uncle? You just said...Uncle, are you back to normal?"
As Lu Yuanqiu spoke, he tentatively shook Uncle Bai's shoulder.
Uncle Bai shook his body a few times, then turned to look at Lu Yuanqiu, and quickly regained his smile: "Come on, come on and count! Two, four, six, seven, eight! Cluck, cluck, cluck, there are so many ducks!"
Lu Yuanqiu sighed and continued: "I can't even count how many ducks there are~"
My uncle seemed to be losing his mind again.
Or was it that he was also unconscious just now, and just had some kind of "final clarity of mind" and said something that he cared about very much before he went crazy?
Lu Yuanqiu sat back on the bed silently, carefully pondering the words he had just said.
Who is Lao Zheng? Why is Bai Qingxia the hope for saving the Baixi brand?
When was this sentence supposed to be said?
Could it be that Bai Qingxia also knows the so-called secret formula?
But she didn't even know that her father founded the White Rhino brand.
Lu Yuanqiu felt his brain was a little exploded. While he was thinking, Bai Qingxia shook the water off her hands and walked in.
He immediately asked, "Does your father occasionally say something inexplicable with a serious expression?"
Bai Qingxia was stunned and nodded.
"What did he say?"
"It's nothing, it's very chaotic, there's no important content, he's always like this, there's no logic in what he says."
The girl put her hands in front of her and answered seriously.
Lu Yuanqiu continued to ask: "Have you ever eaten White Rhino instant noodles?"
Bai Qingxia shook her head.
She had never eaten this instant noodle that was almost known to everyone...
Lu Yuanqiu knew that after taking over his second uncle's branch, if Lu's Instant Noodles mastered the secret formula of White Rhino Instant Noodles, he would be able to defeat White Rhino Food Company fundamentally.
Zhang Zhisheng will be completely trampled under his feet.
It is not clear at the moment whether Uncle Bai was just talking nonsense or was really having a "last burst of energy".
Lu Yuanqiu put the matter behind him for the time being.
He said to Bai Qingxia, "Don't forget, I'll pick you up at the entrance of Guihua Lane tomorrow afternoon."
The girl nodded slightly.
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and said, "I saw the photos on your bedside table, and none of them are of you now. How can this be possible? If you don't leave a photo of yourself when you were 17, wouldn't it be a pity to look back on it later?"
Bai Qingxia nodded slowly, then smiled awkwardly.
How could she have the opportunity to take pictures...
Lu Yuanqiu: "When we go out to play tomorrow, I will bring my camera and take beautiful photos of you. Remember to smile more tomorrow so that the photos will look good."
When she heard that they were going to take pictures, Bai Qingxia raised her little face, looking nervous and apprehensive: "Take a picture..."
