Chapter 112 Chronology (10)
Wang Hui loves opening presents the most. He excitedly went forward and said:
"Aunt, do you have mine too?!"
"Silly boy, how could my aunt forget you!"
Grandma's was a pair of soft-soled women's leather shoes, my uncle's was Maotai, my aunt and Wang Guifang's were fashionable silk materials from the provincial capital with fresh patterns, Wang Hui's was a box of buttered egg rolls, Chu Yang's was a classic book and a watch, and Chu Yun's was a Hero brand pen.
They are all very valuable. The little fat boy is the most excited. As soon as he opened the box of butter rolls, the aroma hit his nose.
“It smells better than egg cake!”
He carefully picked up a piece for fear of breaking it and put it in his mouth. He licked all the crumbs in his hand clean. His uncle looked at him and blushed, feeling embarrassed.
"Let grandma try it. She hasn't eaten it yet."
My aunt spoke first, saying that it was inappropriate for all the adults present to watch him eat such delicious food.
The little fat boy was unwilling and picked reluctantly from the box, trying to find the shortest one to share with his grandma.
The uncle and aunt were already angry. They thought Wang Hui was embarrassing because he didn't teach him well at home. Chu Yun looked at the couple and they seemed to be going to beat him up.
Chu Yun coughed and glared at Wang Hui, who immediately and obediently shared some of the food with his grandmother.
Judging from the way my uncle and aunt were beating me, I guess the beating started when they got to their own home.
After the little episode, Wang Guifang and Wang Guilan chatted for a while and then got up to go to the kitchen to cook. There were not enough stools, so their uncle went to borrow some from the neighbor. After much difficulty, they got together to have a good meal, and their aunt also went over to help.
The adults left and the children were left behind. In addition to gifts, Wang Guilan also bought a lot of snacks. The gifts she brought back to her parents' home were things that could not be bought in the village at other times.
Eight-treasure porridge, malted milk, White Rabbit milk candy in iron boxes, chocolate with liquor filling, and Beijing pastries that the elderly love to eat.
Seeing that the children were greedy and wanted to eat, the old man asked Chuyang to open a portion.
"What do you want to eat? You can only open one, otherwise you won't be able to eat until dinner time."
"Big White Rabbit, Big White Rabbit!"
Wang Hui spoke first.
Chu Yun wanted to eat chocolate with liquor filling, but he wouldn't argue with a child, so he decided to eat White Rabbit chocolate.
Chu Yang, who doesn't like to talk, opened his mouth and said, "I want to eat chocolate with liquor filling."
Chu Yun was shocked, telepathy!
Chu Yang felt the surprised gaze beside him, and the corners of his mouth curled up, but he didn't turn his head to look.
What Chu Yang said was like an imperial decree to the old woman. Being knowledgeable and intelligent, he had a say in her eyes.
The decision was made: "Let's eat that thing... and use our strength."
Wang Hui was still very excited. It didn't matter what he ate, the chocolate should be delicious anyway.
Lu Ting opened the box for everyone. Inside the square box were individually wrapped chocolates. Even the paper wrapping the chocolates was very beautiful.
"Wow!"
Each person got one. The chocolate was round, and when you bit through the outer shell, you would find a non-intoxicating sweet wine inside.
Chu Yun bit it open carefully, fearing that the wine would flow out and stain her new clothes. Grandma's teeth couldn't chew it, so she could only hold it in her mouth and eat it. Wang Hui was like Zhu Bajie eating a ginseng fruit, he put it in his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it.
"That's it..."
Wang Hui still wanted to eat more, but his grandma didn't allow him to. Wang Hui didn't like brushing his teeth, and he had bad teeth at a young age. If he ate more candy, he would lose those teeth.
Chu Yun tilted his head back and drank the wine, which inevitably touched the corner of his lips. He smacked his lips and found it very sweet and fragrant. He couldn't help but stick out his tongue to lick the corner of his lips.
He looked up and found that Lu Ting and Chu Yang were looking at him.
"What...what happened?"
Lu Ting turned his head away, and Chu Yang's eyes became dark and aggressive. The dazed Chu Yun didn't notice at all. Chu Yang reached out and rubbed the corner of Chu Yun's lips which were wet with saliva.
"It's okay...it's just dirty."
Chu Yun nodded, and Wang Guilan and Wang Guifang in the kitchen giggled, not knowing what they were talking about.
Lu Ting is not a talkative person, Chu Yang is even less talkative, and Chu Yun doesn’t know what to say. The whole time, only the old man is scolding the little fat boy.
The little fat boy insisted on eating, but the old man wouldn't let him, so they started arguing with him.
"You're so fat and still eating! Do you know how much you weigh?"
"85 pounds, what's wrong!"
"How dare you say that? Are other people's children as fat as you?"
"Then I'm taller than them. Isn't it said that you grow taller by eating more?"
"Your thighs are thicker than other people's waists."
"That's because they have thin waists."
"Be careful, it's too fat, or the chirping won't grow!"
Chu Yun burst out laughing when the old man said something blunt and embarrassing.
“Cough cough… cough cough cough… cough…”
Chu Yang remained expressionless and calm as an old dog. Lu Ting blushed a little. Chu Yun lowered his head. Such blunt and rude words...
sharp.
This reason convinced Wang Hui, and he stopped eating. Jiji was still more important.
During this commotion, my uncle came back with a pile of plastic stools.
There is a big round table in the main room. Even though there are many people, they can still sit comfortably.
"You three are about the same. Let these three guys sit together. If you have something to say, let's talk!"
Wang Guifang spoke up and said that Wang Guilan had already written to her in advance saying that she wanted Lu Ting to live in her home for a while, and it was necessary for the children to get familiar with each other.
Chu Yun was in the middle, with Chu Yang and Lu Ting on either side. Wang Hui, not being able to get close to Chu Yun, sat down next to Chu Yang, feeling unhappy.
"Look at these handsome young men. They are so good-looking. It makes my eyes feel relaxed just looking at them."
The old man praised his own child a lot, saying that he was good no matter how he looked at him.
Wang Guifang also felt particularly proud. Her two sons were the fairest and most refined, and looked more like city people than Lu Ting from the city.
Everyone knows that Lu Ting will live in Wang Guifang's house, but Wang Guilan lives with the old lady. Logically, since Lu Ting followed Wang Guilan here, he should live with Wang Guilan.
But Wang Guilan wanted to talk to her mother, but it was inconvenient with Lu Ting around.
The old man still mentioned it appropriately at the dinner table:
"Xiao Ting, come live with me. I'll clean up the east room for you and you can live there. Your Aunt Lan will also live here."
Wang Guifang was smart and immediately responded:
"It's so boring living with you two. Brothers Chu Yun and Chu Yang always fight. Let Xiao Ting live in my house. They are the same age and they have something to say. My kang is big, so you three can sleep comfortably on the same kang!"
Wang Guifang gave Chu Yun a look. Chu Yun had no choice but to turn his head to look at Lu Ting.
"Brother Lu Ting... come live with us... my brother and I want to play with you..."
As soon as he heard this, he knew it was Wang Guifang who taught him. Lu Ting looked down at the boy who said this with an embarrassed and evasive look. He didn't like sleeping on the kang, let alone sleeping on the same kang with others.
But when he looked at the boy's trembling eyelashes, he couldn't say no and nodded in agreement.
"Um."
Wang Guilan breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that their family was on guard against this child. Lu Ting was a nice guy. At least he was indifferent to her as his stepmother. That was enough.
Everyone in the Lu family looked down on her because she was a country woman. Lu Fuguo didn't take her seriously and married her because she was hardworking and capable. Lu Fuguo's relatives gave her a cold shoulder every time they came.
Moreover, Lu Fuguo has the bad habits of a man. He loves to drink and will commit domestic violence when he is drunk. When he sobers up, he will give her money as compensation.
She didn't like the Lu family, but she was used to living the life of a rich lady and couldn't live without the Lu family's money.
So Wang Guilan sometimes felt disgusted when looking at Lu Ting, and sometimes felt that he was the only person in the Lu family who treated her well.
She really wanted to treat Lu Ting well and make him truly recognize her as his mother, but now that she had returned to her parents' home, she didn't want to think about anything else. She just wanted to cry to her mother about the grievances she had suffered over the years.
