Chapter 294 Xiaoting's Answer
Originally, my aunt and uncle were going to the army to reunite with their son's family, but because Huailan was pregnant, they immediately decided to stay.
So, the Zhou family had a chef for the New Year’s Eve dinner, but Captain Xu’s family was worried about the table full of meat that had just been delivered.
Captain Xu called specially to ask about his cousin's situation and what to do with the leftover meat.
My uncle said, "Don't even think about making bacon or anything like that. You don't have the skills to do that. Just give it away as a gift. It's still a favor."
Captain Xu was at a loss for words, then said, "Okay, I'll keep a few for you to eat, and give the rest away."
His wife asked Huailan to answer the phone again. The two of them exchanged some personal words. The sister-in-law said:
"I asked my comrades to bring you some milk powder, canned food, and an opened biscuit jar..."
"Milk powder...yue...sister-in-law, I can't eat it, I can't eat even a little bit..." Huailan hadn't even drunk the milk yet, but she felt uncomfortable just by hearing it, so she threw the phone directly to Huang Ling beside her.
"Sister-in-law, go vomit. If you have anything else to tell me, please tell me!" Huang Ling said with a smile.
"Oh my god, it's so serious. No wonder my parents didn't come. I have to take good care of her. Thank you for your hard work. You are busy with work and still have to take care of her."
"It's okay, it's what I should do. Don't worry, I'll see you prepare next year and come back to celebrate the New Year!"
"Well, we've discussed it. We'll save up a year's vacation and come back to see you guys during the Chinese New Year. Oh, and there's something important we haven't mentioned yet!"
"What's up"
"Among the things I brought was a used biscuit jar with an old dress stuffed inside. The dress is not important. There is a pocket that is sewn shut, and inside are three gold rings. When you get them, feel them carefully to make sure you don't miss any. One is for Mom, one is for you, and one is for Huailan."
"Oh, this is too expensive..."
Zhou Huaiyi came over, and Huang Ling relayed, "My sister-in-law gave my aunt, Huailan, and me a gold ring each."
Zhou Huaiyi took the microphone and said directly: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
After hanging up the phone, Huang Ling laughed at him: "You are so rude."
"Being polite is not about money. It's not easy to buy." Zhou Huaiyi said with a smile, "When you open up to buying in the future, I will buy a three-piece suit for you and Xiaoting!"
"Xiaoting! I'll take you to Xuanmiao Temple to ask Granny Qian to get your ears pierced someday, okay? Your Uncle Zhou will buy us a three-piece set in the future! You'll be missing out if you can't wear it without pierced ears!"
"Ah~! I don't want it, I'm afraid! I'm helping Uncle Zhou save money!" Xiaoting covered her ears and shook her head fiercely.
"Then I'll go get two more! Anyway, your Uncle Zhou has to buy two pairs!" Huang Ling made the decision, otherwise she would feel like she had lost 100 million.
"Mom, Uncle Zhou will buy you two pairs. You can just wear one pair a day. Why do you need to get two more?" Tuanan gave the solution without even raising his head.
"Uh...I think what you said makes sense." Huang Ling nodded in agreement.
"Your mother just loves gold. Once she hears the word gold, she loses her ability to think." Zhou Huaiyi continued with a smile.
"Oh," Huang Ling suddenly said seriously, "Tunan, Xiaoting, Pengfei, your milk supply will be stopped for a while. Don't mention it during this period."
"Okay!" The three of them answered her at the same time.
At night, everyone went to sleep, and finally only Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi were left.
"Let's have a drink," Zhou Huaiyi suggested.
Huang Ling smiled and nodded.
After a while, Zhou Huaiyi placed a bottle of beer, a plate of five-spice beans, a plate of salted peanuts, and a plate of braised chicken feet on the coffee table.
"You usually don't rush them to sleep, but when you do, I know you've left some food for me and want to have a drink with me," Huang Ling raised her eyebrows at Zhou Huaiyi, "Tell me about anything happy."
Zhou Huaiyi drank a large glass of beer in one gulp, then just laughed without saying anything.
"It's not right to get rich. You can't get rich now. It will be troublesome if you get rich. You can only remove the words next year," Huang Ling guessed.
Zhou Huaiyi shook his head: "Neither."
Huang Ling became interested, moved her butt, and came closer and said, "Tell me quickly."
"Today, when Xiaosong came to borrow tools from me, he told me that he had said something wrong in front of Xiaoting. He wanted to ask if I was home, but he asked, 'Is your dad home?' When I heard that, my heart skipped a beat, thinking that the child must be overthinking it. But guess what Xiaoting said?"
Huang Ling also got nervous and asked, "What did you say?"
"She said she was there, trying to save her dying camellia. She was very angry. You must not laugh at her flowers, or you'll get beaten."
Huang Ling looked at Zhou Huaiyi. He used to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but now his face was as red as if he had drunk three kilograms of white wine.
Therefore, Xiaoting doesn't care that others mistake him for her father.
"She knows that you are good to her, that you really like her and treat her as a family member, and she also treats you as a family member!" Huang Ling was very happy.
They both filled their glasses and clinked them together to drink.
Tunan and Pengfei also couldn't fall asleep.
Pengfei told Tunan about recent events.
At the beginning, Tuanan only knew that his mother asked him to pick up Pengfei, and he didn't know about these things.
He told Pengfei:
"My aunt's aunt was very kind to her. After my aunt's parents died, her brothers kicked her out of the house. Her aunt couldn't stand it, so she took her back to Suzhou and raised her until she was old enough to work."
Tunan heard it from Hongbin. Pengfei had returned to Guizhou at that time, so he didn't know.
"Oh, so that's how it is," Pengfei said, becoming even more worried. "Then I think my aunt might not forgive my uncle so easily."
"Hey, my dad is the same..." Tuanan didn't want to say anything bad about his father in front of Pengfei, so he just sighed.
The two were silent for a while, and Tunan said, "Auntie is a person with her own ideas. We shouldn't get involved in matters concerning her parents' relationship. Persuading them isn't necessarily a good thing."
"Okay, I get it, brother. I'll do whatever they ask me to do and I'll listen to everyone." Pengfei agreed.
"Yes, while your brother Hongbin and I are away, you must stop Dad from hitting Auntie. Whether they are together or apart in the future, once they hit each other, any feelings will be broken and they will be enemies from now on."
"I know. Hey, brother, which of the two female college students I saw that day was your girlfriend?" Pengfei suddenly remembered this.
Tunan sat up suddenly. "Don't talk nonsense! You're not even my girlfriend!"
"Oh, that means is there any other stroke left in the eight characters? Let me ask you another way. Which one do you like?"
"If you keep talking nonsense, you'll sleep on the sofa!"
"I know it even without you telling me. It's the one with long hair, right?"
"you!"
"Because Aunt Huang kept staring at her. Hehe!"
"Don't go to school anymore, go solve the case!"
“.......”
Pengfei felt very comfortable staying at Zhou's house, just like being at his own home.
When my uncle was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, he usually didn't let anyone interfere. But this year, Pengfei actually got the right to enter the kitchen to help.
The father and son were very happy as they worked and chatted.
Tunan also joined in because he said that he was the only man in the family who couldn't cook, which was not a good thing.
He told his uncle that he wanted to learn how to make Longjing shrimp, saying that he owed his younger brothers and sisters this dish, so he bought shrimps specially.
Xiaoting and Pengfei helped peel the shrimps and tickled him.
"I'm afraid they don't owe us anything, but just want us to be guinea pigs." Xiaoting revealed the secret.
"Just treat it as a gift. If we say it's not tasty, he will have to make it a few more times for us." Pengfei said mischievously.
Xiao Ting nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes! I'll go talk to Mom and the others and let everyone agree on what they're saying."
Pengfei was sitting on the steps and could just stick his head out to see what was happening in the living room. Those people were discussing something seriously, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
He has some expectations for the new year. If he can successfully get into high school this year, his parents will probably be very happy.
He wants to take Dongzhe to Guizhou for a trip.
