Chapter 68 Meeting Someone You Don’t Want to See
Since you are inviting everyone to dinner, you must invite all your brothers and sisters.
Zhong Ping first called Zhong Qin and his wife. Zhong Qin didn't want to come at first because it was almost the end of the year and they were very busy with work.
Then when I heard that Zhong Ping was divorced, I was like, “Oh my god, I’m going to be free now, even if I don’t have time.”
Then I called Zhong Li again. Like Zhong Qin, she didn't want to come at first, but after thinking about it, she agreed.
"What's wrong with this third sister lately? She's so weird. The last time I asked her to go house hunting, she was also hesitant. What's going on?" Zhong Hui felt that something was really wrong.
"Ask her about it when we have dinner later." Zhong Xiong frowned.
Why does my family feel a little uneasy lately? With all this going on, Zhong Xiong rubbed his brows. He decided that he should go to Baiyun Temple to worship early on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Juxianlou is located in the east of the city. It is a century-old restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisine and its business is particularly good. Afraid that there would be no seats left later, Zhong Hui and her friends waited for Zhong Xu, Linlin, and Xiaojuan to get out of school and then set off.
"Brother Noxiong, I'd rather not go. I'll just have something to eat at home. I'm a big guy and it's hard to squeeze in the car." Zheng Benming said awkwardly as soon as he got in the car.
"Of course we will go, Brother Daming. This time it's all thanks to you. I have to treat you to a meal." Zhong Ping said immediately.
"What are you afraid of? You're a grown man, and you're afraid to go out? You're sitting in the passenger seat, so why should you be afraid of being crowded?" Zhong Xiong said helplessly.
Zhong Hui and the other three adults each had a child sitting on their laps.
"It's a bit crowded, but it will be fine once Hui and I pass our driving test. We'll each have a car, so it won't be crowded when we go out." Yang Fangqin said with a smile.
"How long will it take for you to get your driver's license?" Zhong Ping asked with interest.
"It should be soon. We will take the test next week. We will take the second and third tests together. We will be able to get a driving license soon after we pass." Zhong Hui still has some confidence. She has been very good at driving practice recently.
"Then I'll be waiting to take your car." Zhong Ping said with a smile.
Okay, let’s go. Zheng Benming breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered his head and tugged at his clothes. Fortunately, he didn’t have to wear that tattered outfit today. Before going out, he even changed his shoes. They were pretty good, pretty good, and pretty normal.
Zhong Hui sat in the back holding Linlin. Seeing Zheng Benming fidgeting and fidgeting, she found it a bit funny: "Brother Daming, you're dressed very neatly today. It's perfect for going out."
Zheng Benming turned around and asked, "Really?"
The three adults and three children at the back nodded in unison: "Yes."
The truth is that Zheng Benming doesn't usually take care of himself and can walk around the entire community in just a pair of slippers.
"That's good, that's good." Zheng Benming breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Daming, I actually think you can change your glasses. It's just that this eye mask doesn't look very beautiful." Zhong Xu thought for a while and pointed at Zheng Benming's eye mask.
Zheng Benming's left eye was injured and damaged when he was in junior high school. The black eye patch on his eye was probably made by his mother. It is similar to those gangsters in TV dramas, with a rope tied diagonally on the top of his head.
Zheng Benming touched his eye patch and asked uncertainly, "Change to a pair of glasses?"
The people behind him all said affirmatively: "It would look better if you changed your glasses."
In fact, Zheng Benming has good facial features and is quite tall. He would look more refined if he changed his glasses. Of course, it would be best if he shaved his beard.
"Okay, I'll go get a pair of glasses tomorrow." Zheng Benming touched his eye patch and agreed happily.
Seeing his slightly shy expression, Zhong Hui suddenly became curious and thought, is there something going on with Brother Daming?
"Brother Daming, do you have someone you like?" Zhong Hui asked jokingly.
"No, no, don't talk nonsense." Zheng Benming denied it hurriedly like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
It would have been better if he didn't deny it so quickly. If he did, it would have seemed like he was incriminating himself.
Zhong Hui, Zhong Ping, and Yang Fangqin all looked at him leisurely.
Zheng Benming felt like he had nowhere to hide and scratched his hair: "Well, I do have some feelings, but I don't know what they mean yet. Don't tell my mom."
Zheng Benming said a little panicked.
"Don't worry, we know." Zhong Hui said quickly.
Brother Daming finally found someone he liked, but Zhong Hui decided to pretend she didn't know. After all, if a turtle gets scared and goes into its shell, it won't be easy for it to come out.
"You are not allowed to talk nonsense." Zheng Benming instructed the three children again.
Zhong Linlin and Xiaojuan both nodded obediently, but the cunning Zhong Xu was not so easy to deal with.
"Uncle Daming, if you want me to keep my mouth shut, you have to at least give me some hush money, right?" Zhong Xu smiled and stretched out his hand towards Zheng Benming.
"How much do you want?" Zheng Benming took it seriously.
Yang Fangqin slapped Zhong Xu's hand and said, "Behave yourself. If you don't behave, walk away. You're such a grown man, but you've made my legs numb."
Zhong Xu pursed his lips and didn't dare to move.
He doesn't want to walk there. What a fool! By the time he gets there, the meal will be over.
Everyone couldn't help but hold back their laughter. The car drove a little further and stopped in front of the entrance of Juxian Building.
There is a parking lot in front of the Juxian Building. They got off the car first and Zhong Xiong went to park the car.
Zhong Hui held Linlin's hand and waited at the door. After Zhong Xiong parked the car, they walked in together.
"Nobita, are you here for dinner too? Oh, the whole family is out, brothers and sisters having dinner together?" I ran into an acquaintance as soon as I entered the door.
"Zhong Fang, what a coincidence, long time no see." Zhong Xiong stopped and greeted him.
Zhong Hui didn't like him at all and walked in without stopping.
Yang Fangqin didn't want to pay attention to him, but Zhong Fang acted as if he didn't see her and continued to be very enthusiastic: "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a while. You are getting more and more beautiful. Oh, and my sisters Zhong Hui and Zhong Ping are getting younger and younger."
Haha, Zhong Hui doesn't even bat an eyelid. Since his divorce from He Yanqing, Zhong Fang has become more and more oily.
"This is Zhong Xu, right? Hmm, he's grown taller. He will definitely be a handsome guy in the future. I wonder how many girls he will charm." Zhong Fang touched Zhong Xu's head again.
Zhong Xu knew that this was Zhong Siqi's father, so he greeted him politely.
"You're a good boy. I hope my son can be as well behaved as you in the future." Zhong Fang said with a smile again.
This guy really likes sons. Zhong Hui couldn't help but ask, "Has your new wife given birth?"
Zhong Fang's smile remained unchanged: "Not yet, but it will be soon, in the next few days."
After Zhong Fang finished speaking, a pregnant woman came over and took Zhong Fang's arm affectionately.
Her belly is quite big, and she is about to give birth. She is also wearing heavy makeup. Zhong Hui still doesn't know what this woman looks like.
Anyway, from Zhong Hui's perspective, this woman is much worse than He Yanqing.
Men, haha, what kind of vision do they have?
