"Uncle Wu Xie..." Meng Qingtang said with a sob.
He recognized him; it was this man, the uncle he always clung to when he was a kid.
At that time, his father had just passed away. The people in the Meng family were afraid that he would divide the property with his mother, so they kicked him and his mother out of the family. Finally, with no other choice, his mother took him back to his grandfather's house.
Maybe he was used to being cautious in his words and actions in the Meng family, so when he moved into his grandfather's house, he was still a little timid and silent.
It was at this time that Uncle Wu Xie broke into his life. Uncle Wu Xie was his grandfather's favorite disciple and basically lived at home for academic research.
At that time, his mother was in poor health, so it was Uncle Wu Xie who took care of his daily life, sent him to school, and taught him martial arts...
In his heart, Uncle Wu Xie is just like his own father. Now that he sees him again, how can he not be excited!
Wu Xie was obviously also surprised. He didn't expect to see his mentor's grandson here. He tried hard to suppress the doubts in his heart. He curled his lips slightly and called out in his usual cheerful tone:
"Chapel."
Meng Qingtang's eyes suddenly turned red. All the suffering and hardships he had endured in the past few years, as well as the fear in his heart, came flooding into his mind. He could no longer control himself and ran towards the man who was like a father in his memory.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the boy who could calmly face a wild boar actually hugged Xiao Gong's father and cried breathlessly...
"Sister Lu..."
Wu Gong felt a little nervous and confused. He tugged at the corner of Lu Wensheng's clothes and shouted anxiously.
In fact, he wanted to ask: Could this be my father’s illegitimate child?
But he was too embarrassed to ask because there were so many people around...
Lu Wensheng took Wu Gong's hand soothingly and walked towards the kitchen, not forgetting to give a look to the rest of the people.
Fortunately, everyone was tactful and followed her to the kitchen, leaving the space for this... um, "father and son"?
"Sister Lu, what's going on?"
Ma Yingjie hid in the kitchen and peered at the two people outside to vent their emotions. He was stunned when Little Mengzi rushed over...
Han Muchen was also paying attention to the situation outside. He suddenly seemed to understand why Lao Meng was in such a hurry to come back. He must have had some doubts in his heart for a long time!
Shen Lingling didn't recognize the strange man in the yard, so she asked Wu Gong tentatively: "Xiao Gong, is this your father?"
Wu Gong nodded numbly, staring at the two people outside without blinking, holding Lu Wensheng's hand tighter and tighter: Could this man really be his father's illegitimate son? Does Grandpa know?
Lu Wensheng seemed to sense his nervousness, patted his head and consoled him, "It should be just an old acquaintance."
Wu Gong finally breathed a sigh of relief. That was true. Brother Meng was much older than him! He couldn't be Daddy's illegitimate son...
Lu Wensheng was thinking about the plot. This part didn't exist in the original novel...
Shen Lingling was also trying hard to recall things from her past life, to make sure she didn't know this person and had never heard of him.
Mr. Su passed away this winter. Meng Qingtang went back to the city with them. The current situation is beyond her understanding.
What Lu Wensheng was thinking was: It must be the butterfly effect of her traveling through the book, because she saved Su Lao and Wu Xie, so there was a subsequent plot.
Looking at Lingling's confused look, you can tell that she definitely didn't have this experience in her previous life.
"Okay, let's get to work, don't just stand here."
The kitchen became bustling. There had never been so many people in the kitchen together before, so many people would bump into each other when they turned around.
After being bumped by Ma Yingjie three times, Lu Wensheng finally exploded: "What are you doing sneaking around like that? Go stand by the door and stop making trouble here..."
Lu Hao, who is indeed causing trouble: Baby is wronged~
There was really no other way, and in the end both Ma Yingjie and Han Muchen were driven to stand by the door, standing there on the left and right like door gods, staring at each other.
Shen Lingling is steaming buns, Wu Gong is stewing rabbit meat, Lu Wensheng is frying chicken...
I also took the time to smuggle spiritual spring water from the space to add it in. The winter in Northeast China is too cold, and autumn is about to come, so I might as well improve my friends' physical fitness in advance!
When the meal was ready and the two people outside had finished chatting, Meng Qingtang stood at the kitchen door with his head down, looking embarrassed, not knowing what to do. For a moment, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet...
Wu Xie saw through his embarrassment, raised his hand and patted his shoulder to comfort him, and changed the subject:
"What are we having for dinner? I can smell the delicious food in the yard."
Wu Gong felt a little jealous. He had grown up so much, but his father had never taken care of his feelings. So he imitated his grandfather and put on a stern face, pretending to be indifferent and replied:
"Didn't you just eat two bowls of rice?" He didn't know his father had such a big appetite...
Meng Qingtang was no longer embarrassed and whispered to the side: "Uncle Wu Xie can eat five bowls of rice."
Everyone: Do you want to take a look at what you are saying?
Wu Xie touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Young people eat a lot."
Wu Gong understood. It turned out that his father was a good-for-nothing. No wonder his grandfather had to send money to his father every month when he was a child...
He really wanted to rush back and ask his grandfather if his father was difficult to raise...
Wu Laoxian rolled her eyes: What can I do? The baby has already been born...
"Okay, put it on the table." Lu Wensheng picked up the last steamed bun from the pot and ordered.
If you keep arguing, you won’t be able to eat dinner tonight!
Just like that, Han Muchen took the table, Lu Hao took the stool, Meng Qingtang went to order mugwort, Lu Wensheng and Wu Gong took the food out, and Shen Lingling cleaned the kitchen.
The division of labor was very clear, and Wu Xie said he couldn't help for a while...
After dinner, Xiaogouzi brought a basket of tomatoes and some melons: "Sister Lu, these are what my grandma planted at home. She asked me to bring them to you. She also said that if you want to eat them in the future, you can pick them at home."
Lu Wensheng nodded, and took out a few candies from her pocket and gave them to him: "Okay, sister got it. It's getting dark, so hurry home. I'll ask your brother Lu to take you home."
Xiaogouzi shook his head and said, "No need, Sister Lu. My mother is waiting for me at the door!" After that, he ran away. He wanted to go home and give the candy to his mother.
Grandma said that my mother was pregnant with a little brother, so she wanted to give all the delicious food to her~~~
Shen Lingling took the tomatoes and said with a smile, "A few days ago, Aunt Li told me that she had planted a few tomatoes at home and asked me to pick them, but I forgot about it. I didn't expect that she even asked Xiaogouzi to deliver them to me."
Lu Wensheng smiled and said, "I heard that Dazhu's wife is pregnant. I have some fine cotton cloth in my box. When you have time, you can give it to her and take a few eggs with you."
Shen Lingling nodded: "Okay, I think I have it too, let's look for it tonight!"
A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Aunt Li has helped them a lot during this period. Sometimes she even delivers the vegetables to their door personally when it is hot.
(Wu Xie is to Meng Qingtang as Chen Cheng is to Lu Wensheng.)
