"Sister Yingying, your car is very nice. Your family must be very rich, right?" After getting in the car, Zhuang Ledong touched it here and there, his eyes full of envy.
Xie Mingying was puzzled. "Haven't you heard of our Chu and Xie families?"
This car was a gift from her grandfather on her eighteenth birthday. When she got married, her family brought it to the Chu family as a dowry.
Zhuang Le shook his head seriously, "I've only been in the capital for a few days, I haven't heard of it."
"I see." Xie Mingying said with a smile, "My mother's family and my husband's family are both military families. They are considered well-known families in the capital."
Zhuang Le exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing."
Li Xiyue laughed angrily, "Yingying, can you be more modest? If you show off like this, you'll be left with no friends."
"It's my fault. To express my apology, I gave Sister Zhuang Le a set of equipment as a birthday present." Xie Mingying bravely admitted his mistake.
Zhuang Le said slyly, "How can expressing apology be confused with birthday gifts?"
"Two sets will do, right?"
Zhuang Le was finally satisfied and gave Li Xiyue a high five in victory.
Xie Mingying laughed angrily, "Li Xiyue, you're such a fickle guy!"
"What do you mean by getting bored with the old and loving the new? Sister Zhuang Le is my mother's family, and you are my husband's family. It's different, okay?" Li Xiyue argued.
Xie Mingying rolled her eyes. "That's not what you said when you asked Yicheng for a red envelope. You said you were my friend and my family."
Li Xiyue said shamelessly: "This is a different time."
"Just wait." Xie Mingying threatened, "When you get married, I'll definitely get this back."
Zhuang Le found a new topic, "Sister, are you getting married? When?"
"I don't know either. My future groom hasn't come back yet. Who should I marry?" Li Xiyue spread her hands, expressing helplessness.
The three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
In the department store, the two local tycoons took Zhuang Le on a shopping spree. In less than an hour, the three of them were carrying large and small bags.
The three of them each bought a set of clothes, shoes, hats, scarves, and gloves, all paid for by Xie Mingying.
Zhuang Le took a fancy to a Plum brand watch, and Li Xiyue bought it for her as a birthday present.
He brought a bag of various snacks, and Zhuang Le rushed to pay for them.
The three women came out of the department store arm in arm, laughing, attracting countless passers-by to turn their heads.
I put all the bags in the trunk, got in the car and started to tour the capital.
After strolling around for the whole morning, at lunchtime, I went home to pick up the two old men and headed straight to the state-owned restaurant.
"I used to eat out when I was young, but since I had this girl, I haven't been so extravagant anymore." Old Zhuang sighed.
Zhuang Le curled his lips and said, "Yes, I am a burden to you."
"It's okay. When you find your parents, just repay me." Old Zhuang waved his hand and said.
Zhuang Le tutted his words twice. "Do I really have to rely on those ruthless people? Can't I just rely on myself?"
Hearing the words "heartless and treacherous", Li Xiyue couldn't help but sympathize with her parents and wanted to explain for them, but the opportunity had not come yet.
"You?" Mr. Zhuang said, as if he was saying, "You're no match for me. Otherwise, find a partner quickly."
Zhuang Le was furious. "You old idiot, do you have to offend me today?"
"Okay, okay, uncle, the food is here. Let's have a drink today, uncle and nephew." Liao Qingshan went to get a bottle of wine, patted Mr. Zhuang's shoulder, and stopped him from speaking.
When Mr. Zhuang saw the wine, his eyes lit up and he no longer cared about arguing.
Xie Mingying whispered to Li Xiyue, "Is this how they usually get along?"
“This is just the tip of the iceberg.”
Xie Mingying opened his mouth and said after a while, "I've never heard of this before."
There were various meat dishes, vegetables and soup, filling the entire table.
The group of five didn't take the little incident to heart at all and ate happily.
After having a good meal and a drink, we immediately rushed to the next show, ice skating.
Two old men were also pulled over. They didn't know how to slide, so they just watched from the side, mainly to let them feel the atmosphere.
Two old men, wrapped in big cotton coats and wearing big woolen hats, were shivering in the cold wind. They felt dizzy just by looking at the heads of people and didn't think there was anything fun in sliding around like this.
After ice skating, they went to the cinema again. The three girls dragged the two old men in and watched an exciting love movie.
The three women were drowsy after watching the film, but the two old men were in high spirits, especially Mr. Zhuang, who burst into tears when he saw the touching parts.
Zhuang Le handed the embroidered handkerchief over with disdain, "You're old, and you're still crying while watching a movie. Aren't you ashamed?"
"I'm crying for my own good, what does it have to do with you?" Old Zhuang took the handkerchief and wiped his snot and tears.
Zhuang Le's facial features wrinkled into a ball, and he dodged to the side while waving his hands, "No more, throw it away, throw it away."
"Who are you? You just throw away such a good towel. You can still use it after washing it at home." Mr. Zhuang said with a tear in his eye.
Zhuang Le waved his hands as if shooing away flies, "I don't want it anyway."
"If you don't want it, I will." Mr. Zhuang folded it and put it in his pocket.
Zhuang Le almost vomited his leftover food. "Old man, you're so disgusting."
The movie ends with the two people bickering.
When we came out of the cinema, it was already dark, so we went to a roast duck restaurant to eat roast duck and brought back a cake after eating.
When we got home, we lit the candles, sang birthday song, made a wish, blew out the candles, and ate cake.
Zhuang Le stuffed his mouth with the sweet cake and sighed, "I never thought that after living for more than 20 years, I could actually celebrate a foreign birthday. Hahaha, this life is worth it."
Li Xiyue was amused by her, "Sister Lele, this is nothing. Times are progressing, and our lives will get better and better."
"Yes, Sister Zhuang Le's birthdays will definitely get better and better every year." Xie Mingying also said.
Liao Qingshan took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Zhuang Le's pocket. "Happy birthday, Junior Sister."
"Puff—" Zhuang Le spat out a mouthful of cake and coughed as he took the red envelope. "No, no, no."
Everyone: “…”
Why can't you answer it so quickly?
Zhuang Le explained, "What I mean is, red envelopes are acceptable, but calling me Junior Sister is not acceptable. Calling me old makes me feel old."
Li Xiyue and the others felt helpless.
"You little bitch, look at my face!" Mr. Zhuang said angrily.
Everyone looked over and saw that his face was covered with cake. They then realized that Zhuang Le had sprayed all the cake on his face. They immediately burst out laughing.
After eating the cake, the day's fun came to an end.
Li Xiyue and Liao Qingshan went to bed early.
Zhuang Le went to Zhuang Lao's house holding something, "Old man, this is for you."
Mr. Zhuang took it and saw that it was a hat. He asked, "Where did you get it from?"
"Of course I bought it. Did I pick it up on the road?"
Mr. Zhuang glared at her and said, "Are you taking advantage of others again?"
"Of course not. Am I that kind of person? I bought this with my own money. It's cold in Beijing, and you don't have much hair. Don't let your head get frozen."
Mr. Zhuang touched his head and asked, "Why don't I have more hair?"
"Stop kidding yourself. I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep." Zhuang Le yawned and went back to the house.
Old Zhuang stroked his hat, which was thick and warm. The curve of his lips could not be suppressed. This girl still had some conscience.
