Chapter 68: Family - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
After Wen Yan finished cooking at noon, she asked Wen Yi to bring the meal to her, and then she cleaned up the house, wrapped all the wonton wrappers left over from lunch at once, and put them all in the refrigerator. She planned to make more at home in the next two days, otherwise Wen Yi would go out to buy food all day, and her parents would come home very late at night. These things were more convenient than making them on the spot.
The 5th was Mid-Autumn Festival, and this year it was a double festival. Just after midnight on the 4th, everyone on their friends' circle started posting messages wishing them a happy double festival. But Wen Yan hadn't seen any of it by then; she had already fallen asleep and had to get up early to go back home tomorrow.
Yu Qiu can have one day off every week. She saved up two days of vacation and put them directly on the two days of the festival just to spend more time with her family. Just after 6 o'clock, Yu Qiu got up, cooked millet porridge in the pot, then stir-fried a vegetable, fried four eggs, and mixed a plate of kimchi. When the porridge was almost ready, she called everyone in the family to get up.
When the father and his two children got up, they looked like a real family. They all squinted their eyes and came out in their pajamas. Then, without saying anything, they sat on the sofa, motionless.
Yu Qiudu served the porridge, rolled his eyes when he saw the expressions of the three people, walked over and patted one of them on the head.
"Why are you sitting here? Hurry up, stop dawdling, wash up and eat, we still have to drive back later."
Wen Yan woke up first and washed up. Girls are more troublesome, so she cleaned up first to avoid making others wait for her. She quickly finished her meal and went into her room to clean up. Her grandmother liked her to look pretty and well-behaved, so she wore pink overalls and tied her hair into a ponytail. She didn't wear much makeup. The elderly don't like anything too fancy, so she just applied some makeup cream, drew her eyebrows, and applied a grapefruit-colored lip gloss. She looked very youthful and energetic.
After cleaning up, Wen Yan walked into Wen Yi's room again. Wen Yi was looking for clothes and could leave after changing. "Sister, what are you doing?" Wen Yi saw his sister come in and go straight to his closet, and he had a bad feeling.
Wen Yan flipped through the books and found a pair of blue overalls he had bought two days ago. "Wear this!"
Wen Yi looked at the incredibly tender overalls. His sister must have forgotten that he was 15 years old, not 5!!!
"Sister, can I not wear it? I don't think it's...appropriate." Wen Yi cautiously tested the situation, begging his sister to let him go.
"No, look at me, I'm wearing pink, and you're wearing blue. Others will know we're siblings, how interesting! Put it on!" She threw the clothes on him, and before leaving the room, she warned him, "If you don't wear them, I'll give all your snacks to Yu Hua tomorrow."
Wen Yi looked at the overalls with a sense of despair. Alas! His lifelong reputation!
Wen Yan sat in the passenger seat, and he and Wen Mingxiu could take turns driving. They woke up early in the morning and could rest when they felt sleepy, while Wen's mother caught up on some sleep in the car. Wen Yi became energetic as soon as he got in the car, took out his phone and started playing games.
During the journey, Wen Mingxiu was so sleepy that he switched seats with Wen Yan. Wen Yi finally sat in the passenger seat, and the couple slept in the back seat.
So when the family arrived, Wen Yan stopped the car. Before Grandma Wen could be happy, she saw her precious granddaughter getting out of the driver's seat. Then she looked again and saw that the couple were sleeping in the back.
So, before Wen Yan could react, he saw Grandma Wen go up and open the car door directly, and grab Wen Mingxiu's ear, and Dad Wen was woken up immediately.
"You little rascal! My dear granddaughter finally has a chance to come home on vacation, but you are so idle all day long that you even ask our Yanyan to drive you home. How can you be a good father?" Grandma Wen saw that he woke up and started scolding him!
Yu Qiu was also awakened by Grandma Wen's voice. Seeing that her husband was in her mother-in-law's arms, she didn't dare to say anything and was helpless to help.
"Mom, I was wrong. It's not okay that I was wrong. I switched with Yanyan in the middle of the process. How could this happen? Mom, please let go. Yanyan is hungry. Mom, please give me some face." Wen Mingxiu was dragged out directly and begged for mercy quickly. His mother's hand was too strong.
Grandma Wen didn't want to pay any attention to this brat, but when she heard that her granddaughter was hungry, she remembered that she must be tired after driving for so long. It was all because of that brat. Thinking of this, she increased the strength in her hands.
"Grandma, I miss the rice cakes you made. I'm hungry." Wen Yan hurried over to pull grandma, otherwise grandpa would come out in a while.
Grandma Wen then let him go, turned around with a smile on her face, and pulled Wen Yan into the house. As for the three people behind her, didn't they have legs?
So when the three of them came in with bags full of food in their hands, they saw Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen happily sitting at the dining table watching Wen Yan eat.
Grandpa Wen freed up some of his attention for the three people. "You're back. Come eat first. It's a good meal."
After the family finished their meal, they sat in the main room and talked.
"When will Yanyan go back to school? Can she keep up with her studies?" Grandma Wen looked at Wen Yan with gentle eyes. Little girls should be taken care of well. Why should she work so hard? But she is also happy that her granddaughter has become so successful. No other granddaughter can be as successful as theirs.
Wen Yan answered obediently, "Grandma, I will go back on the afternoon of the 8th. Everything is fine at school, and the teachers and classmates are very nice to me. Don't worry."
"That's good, that's good. Grandma tells you, you must eat well at school. Don't follow those little girls and try to lose weight. It doesn't look good. Girls look best when they are healthy, you know. Look at you, you don't have any flesh on your body. Look at your brother, he is all flesh." Grandma Wen touched Wen Yan's hand. Oh, there was no flesh on her hand.
Wen Yi asked himself a question. He was just sitting there quietly, why was he suddenly mentioned?
Wen Yan quickly hugged her grandmother and acted coquettishly. The elderly have different ideas from the young. Young people like to be thinner, but the elderly think that being white and plump is a blessing.
The family gathered together and talked for a while, then Grandma Wen started to prepare afternoon meals with Wen's parents, as the highlight was the evening meal.
Grandpa Wen took Wen Yan to sit in the yard to drink tea, and Wen Yan chatted with the old man. Wen Yi also brought a recliner to the side and lay on it to play games.
After Grandpa Wen asked his granddaughter about her recent life and studies, he saw Wen Yi lying next to him in a disheveled state playing games, and immediately shifted his attention.
"Wen Yi, how are you studying lately? You're already in the third year of junior high school, but why are you still holding your phone all day? You're already 15 years old, and you still don't know anything. Think about how your grandfather was able to earn work points when he was 15!"
Wen Yan took a look and looked at his brother with sympathy. He deserved it. He knew that the old man didn't like the youngsters playing with their mobile phones in front of him, but he still lay there playing games. If I don't say anything, who else can you say?
While Grandpa Wen's attention was diverted, Wen Yan was thinking about how to dig the thing out. If she just went up and dug it out, it would be a bit too deliberate.
