Father Yu laughed heartily and said, "You little bastard, you teamed up with your dad to deal with me, right? When I get home, I will call that little bastard of mine along, and then I will go to your house to show off! Just wait and see!"
My dad laughed and said, "That little bastard of yours? No, I'm afraid he'll fall asleep before he can even say a few words!"
"He doesn't have the guts to do that in front of me!" Yu's father laughed and walked towards his house, then said, "Old Wang, prepare wine and food tonight. I'll bring my family over as soon as it gets dark, and we'll have a good drink together!"
"Lao Yu, you are being rude again!" My dad said anxiously, "It's your turn to treat me this time!"
Father Yu walked away with a smile on his face: "It's one thing to treat people to drinks at the construction site, and it's another to treat people to drinks at home. They can't be confused!"
My dad also laughed: "You are always right. Come quickly. I will be waiting for you at home."
Father Yu waved his hand and walked further and further away. I packed up the cleaning tools and followed my father home. On the way, my father asked, "Have you bought all the New Year's goods?" I pretended to be sad and said, "Mom went to the street to buy vegetables, and a thief took away 500 yuan. She only bought some cabbage and potatoes, not even meat. Our family will have a hard time this New Year..." I wanted to stimulate my father and then go home to give him a surprise. As a result, my father laughed and said, "Haha, it's better to lose money than to suffer disaster. It's okay, Dad has made money, let's go buy it tomorrow!"
...I have to admire my father. He seems to never be anxious or irritable, and the burden of life seems to never overwhelm his shoulders.
I followed my father and felt relieved looking at his tall figure. When I got home, my mother came to greet me: "Oh, didn't you say you would be back tomorrow? Why are you back tonight?" My father laughed and said, "I wanted to give you and Haohao a surprise!" He took off his military coat and threw it on the sofa, and then said, "I heard you lost 500 yuan?"
My mother pretended to be sad (but I think she was really sad) and said, "Yes, because of this incident... we can't even celebrate the New Year. We could only buy some cabbage and potatoes." This was something my mother and I had agreed on. I did it on purpose to scare my father.
Of course, the father still laughed: "Who said we can't celebrate the New Year?" He took out five hundred yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into the mother's hand and said: "That's right, I just picked up five hundred yuan on the way here, I guess it's the five hundred yuan you lost!"
The mother spat, "Come on, this is your salary, right? If you have any more, give it all to me!"
My father laughed and said, "Nothing escapes your eyes." He took out some money from his pocket and handed it to my mother, about three or four thousand yuan. My mother took the money, turned around, opened the closet and put it in, and I don't know where she put it.
"Hey, don't stuff it all in." The father said, "Take out some of it, we still have to buy New Year's goods tomorrow."
I pulled my father's arm and said, "Dad, come with me." My father followed me to the kitchen in confusion, and my mother followed closely. When I turned on the kitchen light, my father's eyes widened: "Wow, there are so many things, where did you two steal them?" The kitchen was filled with all kinds of vegetables, fruits, wine, meat and side dishes. It was the most abundant meal in many years.
My mother scolded me, "Can you talk? We paid for it!" I quickly said, "Dad, I lost 500 yuan that day. I was very sad and upset. I felt that life was so unlucky. Then I remembered that the last time we were unlucky, you bought a lottery ticket and won 50,000 yuan. So I thought I should give it a try, since we were already unlucky enough."
The father's eyes widened: "How much did you win this time?!"
I gestured, "Eight thousand dollars! After tax, there's still seven thousand five hundred left! Mom is so generous with the money!"
Sure enough, my father was even happier: "Haha, it's really strange, why do we win the prize whenever we are unlucky? It's like giving away good things after a good try, God is really interesting..." But I didn't think too much about it. It could be seen that he was really happy.
Back in the living room, the family gathered around the stove, eating melon seeds and chatting. My father talked about the interesting things that happened at the construction site, I talked about the interesting things that happened at school, and my mother... My mother didn't have anything interesting to say. She just kept complaining about how difficult life was.
It was getting dark outside, footsteps were heard in the yard, the door was pushed open, and Father Yu stood at the door with great dignity, followed by Yu Chengfei and Yu Chengfei's mother. Our family all stood up, my dad talked to Yu Chengfei's dad, my mom talked to Yu Chengfei's mom, and I naturally ran to Yu Chengfei and said excitedly, "Brother Yu, when did you come back?"
Yu Chengfei yawned and looked very sleepy: "I just came back last night and wanted to take a nap, but my dad dragged me here and said he wanted to come to your house to check things out. I thought this was interesting, so I followed him, and you see..."
I followed his gaze. My dad was talking to Yu's father affectionately, and my mom was talking to Yu's mother affectionately. There was really no intention of stepping on the scene. Yu Chengfei spread his hands and said, "It's too boring. I'm going to sleep." He fell on the sofa in my house as soon as he finished speaking, without even the intention of brewing. It seems that he is really too tired these days.
“Look at your silly son.” My dad pointed at Yu Chengfei on the sofa and said, “He fell asleep before I even spoke.”
I quickly opened the closet and took out a blanket to cover Yu Chengfei. Yu's father pointed at me and said, "Your son is the stupid one. He has been following my son for so many years. Who is more stupid?"
"Your son is stupid!"
"Your son is stupid!"
Everything was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye, they were arguing again.
