The bookshelf is a low-profile design, making it easy to reach items horizontally.
Looking at the brand-new bookshelf, and then at Pingping, Ding Yueyue couldn't help but say enviously, "Your father treats you so well."
“Yes, because my dad loves me very much.” Pingping said this naturally. Seeing that Ding Yueyue’s forehead was a little sweaty, she said, “I’ll push you to sit in the living room and get you some watermelon.”
The refrigerator was in the living room. Pingping took out a watermelon, carried it to the kitchen, and asked her father to cut a piece for Ding Yueyue.
He Yuan asked, "Is your friend going to stay for dinner?"
"No need, she's too embarrassed to stay."
Sure enough, after Ding Yueyue finished eating the watermelon, she insisted on leaving.
Pingping had no choice but to see her out. After she got home, her mother finally woke up.
Chen Qing ate lunch as soon as he got up.
Xiaoyu and Youyou went out, and when they came back, they were both limping.
Chen Qing: "What's wrong?"
Xiaoyu covered her face with one hand: "I was playing the ditch-collapsing game when I heard someone shout 'Stop thief!' I tripped and fell down."
Chen Qing: "Thank goodness, I didn't fall into the ditch."
Xiao Yu wholeheartedly agreed.
The water in the ditch wasn't dirty, but the bottom was.
Youyou: "I accidentally fell while playing on the vault."
He Yuan asked Xiao Yu, "Are you sure it was a fall that caused the injury?"
Xiao Yu said proudly, "Yes, I checked it. We just fell down and will be fine in a few days."
Chen Qing laughed and said, "That's good. You two cripples will have each other's company. Go find some medicated oil to rub on yourselves later."
Xiaoyu and Youyou felt a pang of sympathy, and both of them limped as they washed their hands and ate.
During the family's meal, Mao Mao, Talia, and Mao Jianguo suddenly arrived.
Mao Mao said, "Auntie, we've already eaten."
Talia said, "I'm here today to share some good news with you."
Chen Qing said with great interest, "Go on."
"Mao Mao took care of the paperwork for me and him to return to China."
Talia had a bright smile on her lips, but her eyes were brimming with tears.
God knows how moved she was when she learned that her child had this plan.
Chen Qing was also so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
Many people say that sons are not considerate, but that doesn't seem to apply to Mao Mao. He didn't like studying when he was little, but he managed to study languages diligently in order to be with his mother. He noticed his mother's vulnerability between his parents and did his best to protect her. Now that he's grown up, he still thinks about fulfilling his mother's wishes.
Talia smiled and said, "I came here to tell you this good news. We're leaving in a few days."
She was both excited and afraid.
Mao Jianguo: "I'm all alone now."
Talia glared at the overweight old man with annoyance: "Your paperwork isn't up to par, what can we do?"
Mao Jianguo was very upset.
Mao Mao patted his chest and assured him, "Dad, don't worry, even if there are many handsome men in Russia, I will go against my conscience and persuade Mom to come back to you."
"You brat, what are you talking about? I'm just a little chubby, what else is the difference between me and a young man?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Mao Jianguo was quite handsome when he was young, but now...
He gained weight, his hair thinned, and he became a very ordinary forty-year-old man.
Mao Jianguo's pride was severely wounded: "You people have gone too far. The most important thing for a man is not his face, but his ability, his talent, and his ability to support his family..."
Talia quickly interrupted him: "Alright, alright, stop chanting. It's fine at home, but don't embarrass yourself at Xiaoqing's house."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Mao Jianguo felt his face burning and cursed, "You've gone too far!"
Everyone ignored her. Mao Mao asked Xiao Yu what Russian things she liked, and he would help her bring them back.
Xiaoyu: "Candy? I heard the candy over there is delicious."
He Yuan said, "Please bring me some beef jerky and honey; your aunt likes them."
Mao Mao patted his chest and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely bring it back!"
Because he is taking his mother abroad, he has been learning about Russian basics recently, so that he won't be clueless when he gets there.
Talia was also nervous. She was not going back to Russia to see her family, but to see a group of relatives she had never met before. She really wanted to see them and learn about her parents' past.
The mother and son were all packed and ready to go. Mao Jianguo couldn't go to Russia, but he saw them off on the plane.
The mother and son were gone for more than half a month. It was the first time the couple had been separated for such a long time, and Mao Jianguo was really not used to it. After returning to Guangdong Province, he went to drink with He Yuan.
He Yuan: "I don't drink."
He has a very low alcohol tolerance.
Aside from having a drink with Chen Qing, it's impossible for him to drink with anyone else.
Mao Jianguo was embarrassed to have Chen Qing drink with him, so he went to He Yuxiang. Seeing that he was sad, He Yuxiang said directly, "Turn sadness into motivation. Go to the television research lab and see what's missing. If there's any progress, I can give you money. You can give a large sum of money to Aunt Talia, and she will be very happy."
Mao Jianguo was about to curse: "You little brat, what do you take me for?"
He Yuxiang: "Elder."
Mao Jianguo grumbled and cursed, but he actually helped him with the work. It wasn't easy for his younger generation to start a business, so he wanted to help if he could. But he couldn't help asking, "Isn't your uncle on vacation? Why don't you let him come?"
“He’s asking for a very high price now, which I can’t afford.”
He Yuxiang felt that his uncle was just trying to spend more time with his aunt and was deliberately playing the "business is business" card with him.
Mao Jianguo found it amusing: "Your aunt's husband is very attached to your aunt."
"yes."
He knew.
The two of them were practically glued together.
Watching movies together, watching TV series together, writing sentimental poems together...
Not only did they write sentimental poems, they also fabricated pen names to submit their work.
He Yuxiang was truly impressed; he thought the two of them were just oddballs.
I hope the editors won't be swayed by their sentimental poems; we really don't need the money from these articles.
But when he got home that night, he went to ask his aunt if she had written any poems.
Holding the romance novel, Chen Qing said with a forced smile, "No, your uncle said I haven't read enough poetry, and my writing is not expressive enough. He told me to read more poetry to learn from it."
He Yuan: "I'm telling you to read a proper poetry collection..."
"I watched it, but then I fell asleep, and then I said I wasn't paying attention!"
She was on vacation.
It's not like we're in class.
Chen Qing glared fiercely at He Yuan: "You'll sleep in Youyou's room tonight."
He Yuan remained silent.
He Yuxiang felt superfluous and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
He Yuan: "Go ahead."
Chen Qing warned He Yuan: "Great poet, stay away from me."
He Yuan laughed: "You swore you would read the whole book, but you didn't even finish two chapters."
Enraged, Chen Qing got up to get two popsicles, sharing one with He Yuan: "Here's a popsicle for you. I hope you'll give up your dream of becoming a great poet and continue living as an ordinary person." (End of Chapter)
