It was almost evening and the table was filled with food.
Uncle He took out a bottle of white wine that he had treasured for a long time and poured a glass for himself and He's father.
He Xufeng accompanied the two elders to drink white wine, while the women drank the fruit wine brought by Lin Qingmei.
"Brother, I toast you!" Uncle He smiled, his voice full of excitement. "It's rare for you to come here, this is a great joy! Why don't you stay for one night? Let's get together and go to Linjiawan tomorrow."
"No, your house only has three rooms, and there's not enough space for so many of us." He's father politely rejected Uncle He's offer. He knew that Uncle He was kind-hearted, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Uncle He.
Uncle He was a little disappointed, but he also understood Father He's decision. He patted Father He's shoulder and said, "Come on, then you must come and stay for a few days next time you are on vacation."
"Big brother, when are you going to tear down the old house and rebuild it? Your family is not short of money. If you build the house, won't you have a place to live in the future?" After saying this, Grandma He gave He Xi a cold look. She thought in her heart that her daughter-in-law must be unwilling to come and take care of her, so she instigated her eldest son not to build the house.
"I plan to transfer the old house to Xufeng's name. As for whether to demolish it and rebuild it, that is up to them young people." He's father rarely comes here, so it doesn't make much difference to him whether to build a house or not.
In addition, he has already said that he wants to transfer the house to his son's name, so he will definitely not act rashly in the name of the house.
"Hmph, you are just quibbling. Is it that your wife is unwilling to serve an old woman like me? Although I am old now, I am not senile." Grandma He threw her chopsticks in anger.
"Mom, you are wronging me. I really didn't think so." He Mi felt wronged and wanted to cry. Although she didn't like her mother-in-law, she really didn't think about not taking care of her when she got older.
"Grandma, you really wronged my mom. It was my idea not to build the house and it has nothing to do with my mom. I just thought that after the house was built, no one would live in it, so it would be better to wait a few years." Lin Qingmei felt a little unhappy to see the situation develop to this point. This was all her idea, but she didn't expect her grandma to misunderstand her.
"It was really not your mother's idea?" Grandma He glanced between Lin Qingmei and He Li. Did she really misunderstand her eldest daughter-in-law?
"Really not, grandma, you also know that Xufeng's job may be transferred at any time, and he doesn't know where he will be employed in the future! I thought that if he will not be employed in the county in the future, it would be a waste to build a new house. It is better to wait a few more years, until the situation becomes clear, and then build a new one." Lin Qingmei mainly didn't like the current tiled house, she wanted to build a small Western-style building.
But the time is not right yet. After the reform and opening up, she will definitely build the most beautiful small Western-style building in Nancheng County.
"Okay, grandma respects your opinions." Although Grandma He was still a little unwilling, she didn't say anything else. The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little dull.
At this time, He Xufeng smiled and raised his glass, "Grandma, Dad, Uncle, today we have a rare reunion, let's not say these words that spoil the fun."
Uncle He also nodded happily, "That's right, let's have a drink quickly, I hope you and your niece-in-law can love each other till old age."
He's father also raised his glass, "Yes, let's drink."
After hearing what He Xufeng said, everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together. After the glasses collided and made a crisp sound, everyone drank it all in one gulp.
Uncle He smacked his lips and said, "Xufeng, you have to perform well in the company and strive to get promoted soon."
He Xufeng quickly responded: "Don't worry, uncle, I will work hard."
He Ji also regained some of his smile, picked up a piece of meat and put it in Grandma He's bowl, "Mom, please eat more."
Grandma He nodded slightly and accepted He Qi's instruction.
After dinner, He's father took his family and said goodbye to He's uncle.
