Lu Zhiye quickly replied, "Oh, didn't Auntie want to come and see us first? She even brought us quite a few local specialties!"
I thought it was too late, so I didn't let them go back. We were just drinking with Uncle Liu!
Captain Lu breathed a sigh of relief, took a puff of his pipe, and said cheerfully, "It's good that nothing's wrong, it's good that nothing's wrong!"
How is your family? It's a cold winter this year, do you have enough winter clothes?
Your aunt planted quite a lot of cotton this year, would you like me to send some over?
Lu Zhiye smiled and declined, "No need, no need. You two just need to take care of yourselves at home!"
"Let's talk later, Uncle Liu is calling me from over there!"
Captain Lu chuckled and scolded, "Alright, alright, drink less!"
It's truly a rare thing to hear such a sentence from an old drunkard!
Once at the dinner table, Lu Zhiye recounted the phone call from Captain Lu.
Lifting his eyelids, he looked at the stunned old woman with the mole: "Liye isn't stupid, he must have gone home and found out about what happened between you!"
That's why I hurriedly made the call; they'll probably be here soon!
Auntie, have you two figured out what to do?
The woman with the mole didn't respond immediately; she was still lost in her own thoughts!
Old Liu also felt a little uncomfortable. Although the old woman's words were harsh, they undeniably struck a nerve with the two men's hidden thoughts.
These ideas seemed perfectly reasonable to everyone else, but after being scolded by his wife, the Liu couple felt a rare sense of embarrassment!
Old Liu poured himself a glass of wine and clinked glasses with Lu Zhiye: "Sigh, let's talk about it when we get here!"
It's too late today, so I guess I won't be able to come. Let's think about it carefully tonight and see what we should do!
Just as we were finishing our meal, we heard a hurried knock on the door!
Lu Zhiye understood and opened the door!
However, he did not let Niu Liye in immediately!
Instead, he handed Niu Liye a cigarette, put his arm around his shoulder, and walked out, asking, "Want to chat?"
Niu Liye arrived on his bicycle, having left his hat and gloves at home. His hands were ice-cold, and his face was blue from the cold!
However, he didn't care about any of that. Instead, he anxiously said to Lu Zhiye, "Brother Ye, what my mother said wasn't what we meant!"
Is your aunt at your house? I'll go in and explain things to them properly!
Over the years, I have truly treated them like my own parents!
They've done so much for us too, no matter what I...
Before Niu Liye could finish speaking, Lu Zhiye interrupted him: "Let's go outside and talk first!"
"My aunt is at our house. Uncle Liu has had too much to drink. We'll go in later!"
Lu Zhiye was very assertive; no matter how much the person involved said, it was not as effective as a single sentence from an observer.
After all, it seems like the person involved is trying to gain sympathy and play the victim when they say these things!
The two reached the corner, and Niu Liye took a deep drag on his cigarette. He said dejectedly, "This is my fault!"
Before Guihua left, she said not to let my parents come, but I thought to myself, they've only met the child once in all these years!
Even just coming to see the children means there's still some family affection involved!
I never expected my mom to cause this kind of trouble!
Lu Zhiye patted his shoulder: "When Auntie Mole came back from the road, she saved a pair of twins."
The brigade also issued a certificate, and they are considering adopting the two children!
They came to ask us because they couldn't make up their minds!
Liye, we've been together for so many years, and I truly consider you my brother!
I believe you genuinely care about Old Liu and his wife!
But sometimes we overlook many facts, and the bond between you and your parents is something that cannot be severed!
During the time your mother stayed at your house, she must have talked a lot with the neighbors, right?
How much of it do you think is praise for the old lady with the mole?
If Auntie with the mole really goes back at this time, then it will confirm what your mother said!
Instead of doing that, the two families should just treat each other as relatives!
In that case, you should help them out more in the future!
This also fulfills your friendship of supporting each other! What do you think?
Niu Liye felt as if his heart had been gripped tightly. He asked himself if he would feel even worse if he were in that situation!
Not to mention the two elderly women with moles who have never had children in their lives!
His voice was low and hoarse: "How are the twins?"
Lu Zhiye slowly exhaled a smoke ring: "He is very dependent on Auntie Mole and the others. He is only five or six years old now and doesn't remember much!"
If you raise them as your own children, taking care of them in their old age won't be a problem!
This will shut those people up!
Oh, by the way, my aunt said she wants us to help her find a house!
Judging from your parents' demeanor, they definitely won't stay here for long, and your wife won't be happy to come back!
We found a compromise: we bought the house in your area. This way, we can help you take care of your children and also let Auntie Mole continue her business!
This way, both sides are satisfied, and there's no need to worry about what others might say!
Niu Liye stood there, speechless for a long time!
After a long while, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "Brother Ye, I understand."
I'll go in and apologize to my aunt and uncle; after all, my mom's words were really harsh!
"Alright, let's talk things out, so that Auntie with the mole won't feel burdened!"
The two returned to the courtyard one after the other. As if sensing something, the old woman with the mole subconsciously looked up in their direction!
When she saw Niu Liye, she managed to force a smile.
"To establish, to build a career?"
Old Liu, who was drunk next to him, slurred, "Establish a career? What career is there?"
Niu Liye's nose tingled with emotion, and he rushed to the old woman with the mole, kneeling down before her.
This startled the old woman with the mole, and Jian Nanxing, who was sitting next to her, quickly stood up as well.
The person moved so fast they almost fell. Wen Sihe reached out and helped them to the other side, secretly relieved!
The woman with the mole hurried to Niu Liye's side: "Liye, what are you doing? Get up, get up!"
She was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she gestured to Lu Zhiye next to her for help.
Lu Zhiye remained unmoved; kneeling was something Niu Liye should do.
When the couple first came to Beijing, they were unfamiliar with the city and its people. They not only had to go to school, but also had to take care of their child!
If it weren't for Auntie Mole's help in taking care of her, how could Niu Liye have started his own business so easily? And how could Li Guihua have followed her teacher so readily?
All of this is because there is a strong support behind me!
