Chapter 902 I Want to Go to West Lake
My mother seemed to think so too, but she didn't seem to hear the premise of "wait until I finish the work at hand" in Xiao Shiqiu's words.
"Mengmeng, tell me, where do you want to go? Bring Ziting and Ziran with you." My mother smiled very gently.
I suddenly didn't want to please my mother so much, "I want to go to West Lake~"
My mother's smile froze on her face. Ziting looked a little disappointed, but Ziran looked at me sympathetically: "Sister Mengmeng hasn't even been to West Lake, and we go there often."
Even though my uncle was slow to react, he seemed a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "It's my fault. I didn't think of letting Mengmeng come to my house for a holiday all these years."
Xiao Shiqiu laughed and immediately realized that I was doing it on purpose. "Okay, I'll take you there when you have time."
Although I feel uncomfortable, my uncle and cousins have never offended me. Even if we don't have much affection for each other, I still have to do this face-saving project.
Xiao Yang helped us reserve a table at the most famous buffet restaurant in City A, which saved us the trouble of ordering food and the children would like it more.
The best buffet restaurants are actually not much different from those in most five-star hotels. There is a seafood stall right at the entrance, and common sashimi are still snow crab legs, salmon, and Arctic shrimp.
The barbecue stall was filled with aroma, and the Angus steaks cut into mini pieces were sizzling with oil, looking very appetizing.
What attracts children most is the dessert matrix. Next to the twenty-layer chocolate fountain, a colorful macaron tower is placed in an arc shape on a mirror tray.
The mango mousse is topped with transparent bubbles blown out of icing sugar, and a piece of edible gold foil is frozen in one of the bubbles.
These little desserts made Lin Ziting and Lin Ziran's eyes widen, not to mention that there were more than a dozen flavors of ice cream in the freezer next to them.
Even I can't wait to have an ice cream first.
Lin Ziran was about to run towards the dessert, "No, we have to eat first, then dessert later."
Lin Ziran ignored her father and shook her arms hard to prevent her uncle from grabbing her.
It seems that the uncle is not a good father and cannot control his little girl.
Lin Ziting, on the other hand, stopped obediently.
"You can have dessert only after you have your main meal." My mother said.
It is better for outsiders to chant sutras, and it is the same no matter where they are used. My mother, an aunt who is not very familiar to them, speaks better than their biological father.
As a doctor, my mother didn't allow children to eat raw or cold food right away. As a compromise, she put a few fried foods on their plates, and only then did Lin Ziran calm down.
The meal was quite good, at least I was happy with it.
Without my aunt around, the atmosphere was much more harmonious.
When we were almost done eating, my mom started talking about business. "Mengmeng, your dad and I have agreed that Ziting and Ziran will live with us during the summer vacation. We'll send them to City A when school starts."
I raised my eyelids and said, "Oh, I see."
My mother is willing to take care of the child, so of course I have no objection. If she tells me this, she will most likely live in my room.
"Uncle comes home to spend time with the kids on weekends," my mother continued, her eyes fixed on my reaction. "You should also come back to spend time with your cousins and play with them."
"Oh, okay." I responded perfunctorily, and I had already started to think in my mind that although my family lived in a townhouse, there were not many rooms. In addition to the two bedrooms on the third floor, there was only one guest room on the second floor that could accommodate people.
Given my mother's personality, she will definitely give my bedroom to my cousins, and then I will have to stay in a hotel when I go back.
I think it would be reasonable to go back twice this summer.
Xiao Shiqiu seemed to sense my thoughts and gently squeezed my hand under the table. I blinked at him to show that I was fine.
"Sister Mengmeng," Ziran suddenly came over, "Do you have a game console at home?"
"No," I replied casually, "I've never played with that thing."
"Oh," Ziting said with a bit of disappointment, then looked at me with some sympathy, "You've never played games before, I have some at home, but I didn't bring them with me.
When my mom comes, I'll ask her to take it with me and I'll lend it to you to play with."
Looking at his sincere look, I felt a little warm in my heart and thought of the brothers Wensong and Wenbo.
However, he is different from Wen Bo. Although Lin Ziting is childish, he has a calm temperament.
Maybe I could try to get closer to them. My heart softened and I said, "Although I don't have it, your other cousin does. The game console should still be at our house."
"Why does my other cousin have it, but Sister Mengmeng doesn't?" Lin Ziran looked at me in confusion.
I winked at her and said, "Because she has a nice aunt who buys her gifts, but I don't."
Lin Ziran said "Oh" as if he understood. Ziting thought for a moment and asked me, "Is that cousin the daughter of my second aunt? If she is an aunt, then she is an aunt. Then your aunt is my second aunt, right?"
I nodded and gave him an appreciative look. "Yeah, you're really smart. You figured it out so quickly."
My uncle looked at my mother with some confusion, and my father had a complicated expression, but no one spoke, and my mother was silent too.
Xiao Shiqiu shook my hand and said, "If you like, we'll reserve a room for you to store these things in the future. We can equip you with VR, somatosensory, and Sony game consoles."
As soon as he said this, Lin Ziting looked at me with starry eyes, "Sister Mengmeng, can I visit your house in the future?"
Although I don’t play games much, who can refuse such kindness?
I finally became the enviable big kid in the eyes of others.
"Of course, we can play together." I am such a generous cousin.
Lin Ziting is obviously much closer to me. It is easy to deal with little kids like him.
At this moment, Xiao Shiqiu's cell phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly: "Sorry, I have to take a call." Then he stood up and walked to the corner of the restaurant.
When he answered the phone, he subconsciously looked towards us from time to time. My intuition told me that his call was about me.
When he came back, his expression was normal and he said nothing.
He doesn't say and I don't ask. This is the tacit understanding between us.
After leaving the restaurant, my mother took the two children to my father's car, and my uncle got into our car.
After the car started, there was silence in the car.
"Mengmeng..." Uncle suddenly spoke, his voice a little tense, "Uncle has something I want you to help with..."
I could probably guess what it was about. From the beginning until now, my uncle never mentioned his debt, and I thought my mother had helped him solve it.
"What's the matter?" I pretended not to know.
