Chapter 388 Welcome home
Hearing his granddaughter's voice, He Qingguo quickly stood up holding the potatoes in his arms, "Come in, granddaughter."
As he spoke, he walked towards the door.
"Clap."
The door was pushed open.
Li Luo entered first, followed by Tang Mingcheng and others.
Seeing that there was a group of people following Li Luo, He Qingguo guessed that they were all his granddaughter's family members.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, he still felt overwhelmed when he suddenly saw so many people. "Hello... hello, hello, I'm He Qingguo."
He Qingguo greeted several people with a trembling voice.
Seeing the old man so nervous, Li Luo quickly stepped forward to support him, "Grandpa, let me introduce you, these are my family members."
As she spoke, she kept patting the old man's hand to help him calm down.
the other side.
Tang Mingcheng took over Li Luo's conversation first, "Uncle He, hello! I finally meet you. I'm very happy to meet you. I'm Luo Luo's father, Tang Mingcheng."
Li Qing followed closely behind, "Uncle He, hello, welcome home, I am Luo Luo's mother, Li Qing."
"Uncle He, hello, nice to meet you, I am Luo Luo's godmother, Liu Mengyun."
"Okay, okay, okay!" He Qingguo was flattered by the enthusiasm of several people and kept saying okay.
After the three elders finished introducing themselves, it was finally Shi Xinxin's turn.
She rushed to He Qingguo's side and supported his other arm.
"Hello, Grandpa He! Welcome, welcome. I am Luo Luo's good sister. Shi Xinxin, you are Luo Luo's grandfather, which means you are my grandfather. You don't mind having another granddaughter, right?"
"No, no!"
As they were talking, the family surrounded the old man and sat back on the sofa in the living room.
Everyone was talking at once, chatting with the old man about family matters.
Soon, He Qingguo's nervousness was dispelled by the warm and joyful atmosphere.
He naturally integrated into this big family.
Before this, He Qingguo had imagined many scenarios of his first meeting with Li Luo's family.
But he never thought it would be so relaxing and pleasant.
He could feel that what this family showed him was nothing but the purest kindness.
They accepted him sincerely.
This made He Qingguo, who had been lonely for half his life, feel the warmth of home for the first time.
During the meal, his eyes were red all the time and he suppressed the urge to cry as he responded to everyone's words one by one.
After a long time.
A knock on the living room door interrupted the family's conversation.
"Knock knock knock——"
"Captain, everyone is here!"
Wei Kexin's voice came from outside the door.
"Okay, I got it. You go first, we'll be there soon!" Li Luo replied towards the gate.
"Okay, Captain, I'll go over first then."
"Go."
After saying that, Li Luo stood up from the sofa and looked at everyone, "Let's go~ Let's eat!"
.........
In the lobby.
The previously empty seats were now filled with members of the Pocket-stealing Group.
There are a lot of new faces in it.
They are all new members who have just joined the stealing group in the past two days.
In fact, these people are not “new”.
Because they are all family members of those old members.
However, today was their first time attending a team dinner as members of the Pocket-stealing Group, so everyone was extremely excited.
Although they had previously participated in the dinners organized by the Taodou Group because of their family members' status and benefited from it.
But this time is different!
This time they attended the party as their own people, and there was no longer the feeling of being "living under someone else's roof" that they had before.
the other side.
After Li Luo arranged for his family members to take their seats, he walked to the podium.
She looked at the people below, cleared her throat and said:
"Everyone, thank you for waiting. We gathered here today to celebrate the new members of our team. Although the new members are familiar to everyone, there is one person you haven't met yet. So, I would like to introduce him to you."
After saying that, she came down from the podium and walked to the table where her family was sitting.
During this time, the scene was very quiet, no one spoke, and everyone was watching Li Luo's next move.
Just when Li Luo's family entered the lobby, they noticed the old man with a strange face.
Although everyone was puzzled about the old man's identity, no one asked.
Because they knew that the captain would definitely introduce them.
When He Qingguo saw Li Luo walking towards him, he quickly moved his stool back and tried to stand up.
Li Luo took two quick steps and came to He Qingguo, helping him to stand up. "It's okay, Grandpa. Slow down. We are all family here. Don't be polite."
After saying that, she looked at everyone and continued:
"Everyone, this is my grandpa, and he's also the new member who just joined our group today."
At this time, He Qingguo took over the conversation, "Hello everyone, I am He Qingguo. I am very happy to meet you all. I am also very happy to join the Taodou Group, this big family. I hope that we will get better and better in the future. Thank you all."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.
Everyone present could hear He Qingguo's nervousness from his slightly trembling voice.
But everyone pretended not to notice, and either clapped hard or cheered enthusiastically.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome~"
"Welcome Grandpa He to join us~"
"Welcome Uncle He to join~"
"Welcome Uncle He to join us~"
"........."
Although He Qingguo's words just now were very brief, he had practiced them countless times in private.
He has just recovered his ability to speak, and it will take some time before he can speak complete sentences accurately.
Therefore, he was afraid of embarrassing his granddaughter and did not say too much.
Of course, a bigger part of the reason is because of nervousness.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had spoken in front of so many people.
Being a deaf-mute for more than ten years made him unconsciously become an introvert with low self-esteem.
But the reactions of the people at the scene made him regain his confidence!
.........
the other side.
After listening to the old man's clear self-introduction, Li Luo guessed that the old man must have practiced for a long time.
How could she, who is so smart, not guess what the old man is thinking?
Li Luo felt warm in his heart and helped the old man back to his seat.
Then, she looked at the group and announced:
"Okay, I won't waste your time anymore, let's start the party! Eat, drink and have fun! All right~"
For a moment, everyone's emotions were high again!
"Great!"
"Long live the captain!"
"It's time to eat!"
"........."
Everyone ate with relish, drank and chatted, all immersed in the joy brought by the food.
The atmosphere on the scene was full of joy.
