Chapter 90: Begging for Food in Puye
Pu's father had planted several flower buds in the garden. After lunch at noon, he suddenly had the urge to go and take a look. He saw several red roses blooming without any warning.
"Honey, honey! Come and see, the flowers I planted are blooming!"
Before the birth, Pu's mother had criticized him many times, but now Pu's father can finally feel proud.
"What are you yelling about, just woke up?"
Pu Ma was wearing a facial mask, and her mouth was miraculously closed and motionless as she roared.
"Hehe... look at you."
"What are you looking at?"
"Flowers, roses! The flowers I planted are blooming!"
Pu's father stood next to the flower like a straight stick, with his chin raised proudly, the angle almost reaching 180 degrees.
Pu Ma thought it was nothing special, just a few flowers. What was there to be proud of if she could raise them alive?
I just wanted to express my opinion by not praising him, but my husband's posture of looking up at the sky was almost frozen.
"Wow! That's great! You're so awesome, husband! You can keep it alive just by watering it every day?"
"That's amazing! How could there be such a perfect man like you in the world? You're so handsome, you haven't gained weight even in middle age, and your hair is still thick and hasn't fallen out completely..."
Pu Ma's throat was dry from talking so much that she praised all the advantages she could think of.
“…”
Didn’t Pu’s father laugh out loud?
"Dandelion, I'm praising you, why don't you give me some reaction?!"
Pu Ma was furious. "You're standing there pretending to be a statue, right? Fine, you're not allowed to go back to the house until nightfall!"
"Wife..."
Pu's father murmured in pain, "I twisted my neck"
“…”
Pu Ma paused for three blinks, then left him and turned away. "What a useless old man!" It was embarrassing to even look at him.
"Honey, don't go! I can't move on my own, please come and help me!"
"Shut up and stop howling!"
After walking a few steps, Pu's father's loud voice pushed her towards him and hurried over. If she was any later, the scandal would have reached the ears of the neighbors.
Pu's mother's hand groped back and forth on Pu's father's neck, "Where does it hurt?"
"The right side...hiss...hurts"
Pu's father was in so much pain that his voice sounded like a scale, with highs and lows. Pu's mother wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"I sprained my tendon"
"Is a few roses a big deal?" Pu's mother couldn't hide her laughter any longer as she opened her mouth. Her shrill laughter made Pu's father's neck feel hot and numb.
"Come on, let's go back to the house and I'll get you an ice pack."
"Can I walk?"
Pu's father seemed to have lost his mind, "Don't you say you can't move?"
"You twisted your neck, not broke your leg. Why can't you move? Do you have cotton in your head, dandelion?"
Pu's mother dragged him hard, while Pu's father stiffened his neck, closed the door, and walked forward blindly with his head tilted. "Wife, take it easy. I can't see the road."
"I wish the children were here. They could see your funny side, too."
"Here, I've put an ice pack on it. Just bear with the cold."
Pu Ma gave him a shot in advance, gently sticking it to the place where he felt uncomfortable, and said, "Press it a little bit."
"My wife, help me press it"
The way Pu Ye sticks to his wife is probably something he learned from his father. He is not embarrassed at all to nestle in his wife's arms despite his big body.
"You're so lazy"
Even though Pu Ma was disgusted, she kept pressing and kneading her, "Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, yeah, my wife, kiss me."
"Go to hell! No kiss!"
A blow to Pu's father's face didn't deter him from wanting to get closer. "You've been playing mahjong with your old sisters every day lately. How long have you ignored me?"
"Stop vying for favor. You can't even compare to my sisters or my mahjong skills."
“…”
Seeing the glaring sadness on the face of the psychology doctor, Pu Ma kindly comforted him, "Why are you still kissing each other when you're an old couple? You're in your fifties..."
"What's wrong with fifty?"
Pu's father firmly argued whether age should be considered when kissing. "Are you putting restrictions on kissing? Should older people be shackled and lose the right to express love?"
"Okay, okay, okay! I can't argue with you."
Pu Ma didn't think that being too old meant we couldn't be intimate. She was, she was just shy...
I don’t understand why, when she was 20 years old, she could hug and kiss Pu Ba on the street without restraint, but now, she really can’t do that anymore.
Pu Dad pulled his wife's hand and kissed her despite the pain in her neck, "Wife, lower your head a little"
Pu Ma glared at him shyly, then closed her eyes and decided to do it all the way.
Pu's father achieved his goal, and his smile became very frivolous.
"You two?"
…
Suddenly a voice came out
Pu's father and mother both looked out the door, "Xiao Ye?"
Pu Ye came to eat with empty hands, and happened to see his father asking for a kiss outside the door.
"Not suitable for children"
"I'm old..."
He didn't finish the remaining half of the sentence, but Pu's father and mother understood it.
"how?"
When it comes to trivial household matters, Pu's mother quarrels with her son; when it comes to pampering his wife, Pu's father quarrels with his son.
"You stopped pestering your wife for kisses after you turned forty?"
"Impossible," Pu Ye was quite tolerant of himself, "I have to kiss until I am ninety-nine years old."
Pu Ma: Hehe~
Su Yunci: Hehe~
"Let's get down to business. What are you doing here?"
Pu's father twisted his neck back into place at some point, "Now that you're married, don't come home so often. Don't your mother and I have some time for our own world?"
“I’m hungry.”
Pu Yeyang was lying on the sofa eating grapes. "Come and have a meal. Lao Pu, go make some curry rice for me to try."
"Try your uncle, you think you can order me around?"
Pu Ye complained, "Mom! My dad doesn't cook for me, and your son will starve to death soon."
Pu’s father:?
Pu's mother gradually lost her temper, and neither the father nor the son could rest easy. "Dandelion, go cook. Pu Ye, you are not allowed to make any more noise. Be quiet, understand?"
"I understand," Pu Ye drew a line with his fingers on his mouth.
The old father went to cook, and his son ate grapes and lychees on the sofa.
"Lychees are quite sweet." Pu Ye thought of Su Yunci whenever he ate something delicious. "Mom, where did you buy the lychees? I'll buy some and bring them home for your daughter-in-law to try."
"Just take it away," Pu's mother said generously, "There are hairy crabs in the refrigerator. You can take them away too."
"If I don't take it today, I'll stay here tonight."
Pu's father didn't cook fresh, so he made do with some frozen curry from the refrigerator. Then he heard his son say he wasn't leaving. "Get out, go back to your own place. A married man is like spilled water. What's the big deal about him always going back to his parents' house?"
Pu Ye made a clever move, "I'm not interested in cooking when Yun Ci is not at home. It's so comfortable to live here with food and drink."
Dad Pu: Treason!
~~
During dinner, Su Yunci made a video call. After the call was connected, the first thing he saw was his father-in-law's unhappy pout.
"Kumano, are you at your parents' house?"
"Ah! Is that Yunci?" Pu's father was startled and immediately retracted his expression. He was just looking at Pu Ye...
Pu Ma squeezed in the middle of the video screen, her face full of smiles. "When did Yun Ci arrive and where did he arrive? Are you tired? Are you in the hotel?"
"Yes, Mom. My colleagues and I are in the hotel. We just had dinner."
Pu Ye got tired of waiting, so he moved the phone closer to himself. However, he was afraid that his mother would snatch it away, so he simply went upstairs to his room, locked the door, and had a good chat with his wife.
Su Yunci was swaying on the other side of the camera and could clearly hear his mother-in-law calling Pu Ye angrily on the other end of the phone.
"I just had a few words with my daughter-in-law, where are you going with it?"
