“Beep…beep…”
When Gong Linglong was passing by a state-owned store on her way home, she happened to see Cui Zhiyuan and others coming out of the store carrying things. All five of them were carrying things in their hands, which were obviously gifts to their homes.
"Linglong." Cui Zhiyuan smiled when he saw her.
Gong Linglong parked the car in front of them, nodded to the two elders, and said, "Put your things in the trunk and get in the car."
The five of them put down their belongings and quickly got into the car. Cui Zhiyuan sat in the passenger seat, while Cui Lanzhi and her four children squeezed into the back seat. As soon as they sat down, they asked, "Linglong, were you out doing something just now?"
"I went to the compound to deliver some things."
Gong Linglong stepped on the accelerator and started off, asking, "Have you heard about Cui Minzhi?"
"What's the matter?" Cui Zhiyuan and the others didn't know.
Seeing that they were all clueless, Gong Linglong relayed what Song Tao had said this morning. "The night before yesterday, Cui Minzhi robbed Cui Pan'er of fifty yuan she'd earned from setting up a stall, and even injured her arm. Cui Wendong got angry and reported it to the police. Cui Minzhi was taken away for a lecture, and I heard she was punished by cleaning public toilets for ten days."
"Ten days is nothing for her. She deserves to sweep public toilets for ten years." Cui Zhiyuan no longer had any good feelings towards this elder sister.
Cui Lanzhi was too lazy to talk about these shabby things about her mother's family and changed the subject directly: "Linglong, what did you put in this car? It has a weird smell, a mixture of sweet and smelly."
"durian."
Gong Linglong was still eating. She held the steering wheel with one hand and handed them the uneaten durian flesh in the box with the other hand. "I just went to deliver fruit to the compound. Grandpa opened the durian and gave me two pieces to eat on the way. I just ate one piece. You can try this one."
Except for Cui Zhiyuan, no one else had ever eaten durian. Cui Siwei leaned over to smell it, and after just one breath of the smell, he covered his mouth and vomited.
Others: “…”
Cui Zhiyuan curled his lips and smiled: "Siwei, I guess you don't like the taste just like your father. So don't eat it and don't vomit in the car."
"Well, Linglong, you eat it." Cui Lanzhi didn't dare to try it.
"Try breaking off a little bit. Durian is very nutritious and a rare tropical fruit in Kyoto."
"Its taste is quite unique. Some people think it's very fragrant and never get tired of eating it, while others think it's very smelly and can't swallow a single bite."
"I'm different from them, father and son. I can do one at a time. Brother Jing and the triplets can eat more than me. Brother Jing ate a little too much last night and got a nosebleed from getting angry."
She still had some reservations. Lu Jingchuan was very angry last night and vented his anger on her for nearly three hours, making her tremble with exhaustion. She then fled into the space as if running for her life.
If she hadn't rested in the space last night to relieve her fatigue, she would definitely not have been able to get up this morning. She even made a rule about eating durian this morning.
Cui Lanzhi, her mother and her two children all broke off some to try. Cui Siwei also tore off a fingernail-sized piece of fruit flesh to try. He just licked it once and immediately stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth to cover up the smell.
When the car returned home, all the family members were there. Lu Nanzheng was holding Tangtang, Han Ji was holding his son, and Zhou Lanqin was accompanying the triplets. They all stood in the small garden in front and chatted.
"Father-in-law, welcome, welcome."
Zhou Lanqin immediately came over to open the door, exchanged greetings with Cui Zhiyuan and his sister, and politely invited them all to come in and take a seat.
Gong Wantang also came out to greet the guests. Seeing that they had bought many gifts, she looked as calm as ever. "Just come and sit down. There's no need to buy so many things. Lanzhi will take some back for Xiaolei and Xiaoyue later."
"I'll buy them. These are for the triplets and Chi-Chi."
Cui Zhiyuan saw that her heart was beating fast, but he suppressed the inappropriate thoughts and handed all the things he brought to her.
Gong Wantang had no choice but to accept it. She asked her daughter to move into the room and invited them to sit down: "Sit down."
"Wantang, isn't Brother Jun at home?" Cui Zhiyuan asked as he sat down.
"He went to T City a few days ago. He called last night and they'll be back for lunch."
The coffee table was already filled with fruits and dried fruits, all washed and cut, and arranged very delicately and beautifully. Gong Wantang smiled gently and greeted the children, "Siwei, Xiaolei, Xiaoyue, have some fruit. Take whatever you like."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie." All three of them thanked politely.
"Zhiyuan, Lanzhi, you guys eat too."
Gong Wantang also greeted them, and after her son-in-law brought the hot tea over, she served them all one by one.
She had already agreed with her father-in-law and mother-in-law that today's lunch would be prepared by them, mother and daughter, and the task of entertaining the guests would be left to them.
After chatting for a while in the living room, Gong Wantang went to the kitchen to busy herself. She said to her daughter, "Linglong, I just chopped some shrimp filling. You can roll out some wonton wrappers, thinner ones."
"good."
The dishes were basically ready, and all they needed to do was turn on the fire and cook. Gong Linglong looked around and asked her, "Mom, how many dishes do you want?"
"In addition to the ones you prepared, six more hot dishes and two cold dishes."
The elders were chatting about their own things. The triplets took out their checkers and invited Cui Si to play with the three of them. The six of them sat on the carpet, six heads put together to play.
Cui Si knew that they had never played this game before, but it was not difficult. The triplets learned it after just one teaching.
Xiaolei and his sister are both shy and introverted, and don’t talk much, but they seemed to be in a good mood today and had a great time playing with the triplets.
Cui Siwei grew up abroad and has a generous personality. He usually behaves very steadily. In fact, he is still a ten-year-old child and has the liveliness unique to children. He was particularly relaxed when playing chess today and talked a lot, chatting with the triplets non-stop.
At around eleven o'clock, Gong Chengjun and the others came back. When they entered the house, the two were still holding hands.
Lu Chuming looked up at them and said, "Uncle, when will you ask me to be your flower girl?"
"hehe..."
The elders in the living room all laughed. Zhou Lanqin stood up to greet them with a smile on her face: "Our Mingbao wants to be a flower girl. It's time for us to drink the wedding wine."
"Almost there, almost there."
Gong Chengjun raised the corner of his mouth and introduced them to Huo Xinqiong: "These two are Linglong's parents-in-law."
"Hello, both of you. I am Gong Chengjun's future daughter-in-law, Huo Xinqiong." Huo Xinqiong introduced herself generously and shook hands with them.
When Gong Wantang heard their voices, she immediately came out of the kitchen. Seeing the two of them holding hands, her elder brother didn't look disgusted at all. There was a smile on his face. He immediately served them tea and water.
"Brother, Xinqiong, you must have been exhausted after your long journey. Do you want to take a bath and rest?"
"Okay, we've been running around a lot these past two days, so let's take a bath." Gong Chengjun gave her a subtle wink and said, "Wantang, let's pack our luggage first, and you can help pour the water."
"good."
Gong Wantang immediately went to pour them some space well water, and also took two small bottles of medicine from the pharmacy and mixed them into the water to relieve their fatigue.
