Wu Xiu ignored Wu Xian's topic, he looked at the mess in the room, and wondered, "Where is my mother?"

Wu Xian said: "I went to your grandfather's house yesterday, and I guess I will come back tomorrow." ”

"Oh!" Wu Xiu nodded, pointed to the instant noodle bag on the coffee table and asked, "Then you have been eating this for the past few meals, don't you have any food at home?"

Wu Xian sighed, and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you before, your mother compressed my living expenses by half in order to save money for you to go to college." And she only left me two days' food money this time, and I happened to run out of cigarettes, so I had no money to buy two packs of cigarettes. ”

"So what now? I sat in the car all night, I didn't eat anything, I was starving. ”

Wu Xian thought for a while and suggested, "Why don't you go and borrow fifteen yuan from the other side?" Let's make do with a meal first, and it is estimated that this should last until your mother comes back tomorrow." ”

"Then why don't you go?" Wu Xiu said depressedly.

"I'm a big man who doesn't have a lot of face to do this kind of thing. ”

“——”

"Are you going or not?"

"I'm not going, I'm hungry! I haven't slept much since last night, and I'm just a little sleepy. When I wake up tomorrow, I guess my mom will be back. Wu Xiu refused.

"Are you sure?"

Wu Xiu didn't pay attention to Wu Xian, turned around and prepared to go to the room to sleep.

"Wait a minute! I suddenly remembered that I still had a dozen dollars on my side. Let's go, take you to dinner, or your mother will know that I have left you without food, and she will nag again. ”

Wu Xiu paused, with his understanding of the old man, every time the old man got the pocket money given by his mother, in addition to buying cigarettes, the rest was used to play poker and mahjong, and he never kept the money on his body.

Wu Xiu turned his head to look at Wu Xian and wondered, "Are you really rich?"

"Will Lao Tzu lie to you?" Wu Xian glared at Wu Xiu, and said with a distressed expression: "But this is Lao Tzu's private money that has been saved for many years, you must not let your mother know." ”

"Alright, now as long as you can have a full meal, you can say anything. Wu Xiu didn't bother to think about it, he was really hungry.

Under the leadership of Wu Xian, the father and son went to the small restaurant at the entrance of the village to have a good meal.

To Wu Xiu's surprise, after ordering two large bowls of noodles, Wu Xian also specially ordered two dishes and a bottle of wine, saying that it was for him to catch the wind.

Wu Xiu felt that this meal would cost at least twenty or thirty yuan, and he was about to ask Wu Xian: Do you have so much money?

"Hiccup—comfortable!" Wu Xian stretched his waist, picked up the remaining half bottle of wine very casually, and said as he walked: "Okay, you eat first, I'll go buy a pack of cigarettes." ”

"Oh!"

Wu Xiu didn't care about Wu Xian, picked up the bowl and began to eat. After a few bites, he suddenly felt as if something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

After a while, Wu Xiu looked up at the surroundings, and then at the empty bowl that Wu Xian had placed on the table, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

At this time, Wu Xiu's mobile phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, he quickly pressed the answer button, and Wu Xian's familiar voice came from the phone: "Son, I have something to do here temporarily, you let the boss put the account on my head first, and I will go to settle the account in person tomorrow." ”

"—Did you not plan to come back in the first place?" Wu Xiu didn't have a good air.

"Haha, it's really my father Mo Ruozi! But don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want to go back, it's that I don't have any money at all, and I have to keep accounts when I go back. ”

"No, you don't have the money to be so reasonable?"

"Gee, don't worry about the details. If you think about it, it's better for one person to lose face than for two people, okay? And as you said before, as long as it can give you a full meal, I can say anything. Well, the phone bill is quite expensive, good son, I'll wait for you at home. ”

“——”

Listening to the busy sound on the phone, Wu Xiu's face turned green, and he felt so wronged. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Boss, another small bowl of noodles and a bottle of beer......"

Dong Susu went home before dark that afternoon, and when she saw Wu Xiu, she was very excited, and after a while of shouting and asking for warmth, she just asked if Wu Xiu had eaten.

Wu Xian was about to answer, but Wu Xian took the lead and said, "Don't worry! As soon as he comes back, I will take him to the restaurant and order some food for him." It's just that the money you left me is a little small, and there are still some outstanding accounts in the hotel. ”

"It's okay, my son is back, he should eat better. It's also my fault, I only left you three days for food, and this time it's hard for you. I'll give you money in a while, and you can send it to someone. ”

Wu Xiu looked at Wu Xian in surprise, but he didn't expect that this old man not only pushed all the food credit on his head, but also his mother obviously left him three days of living expenses, but he told himself that he only kept two days, thinking like this, Wu Xiu suddenly felt a little depressed.

"Xiu'er, what are you thinking? Why don't you speak?"

Dong Susu's voice pulled Wu Xiu's thoughts back to reality, and without waiting for Wu Xiu to speak, Wu Xian preemptively said: "I guess I was too excited and happy to see you, and I didn't know what to say for a while, right, son?"

Seeing Wu Xian's warning expression, Wu Xiu nodded aggrievedly.

"By the way, daughter-in-law, didn't you say that the genius came back?

"Today I always sneeze and I always feel like someone is talking about me. It just so happened that my son didn't call before and said that he was coming back in the next two days, and I felt very anxious, so I came back early. ”

"I said, let's go, I'll go buy some groceries with you. My son is back, we have to have a reunion dinner tonight, and the lunch at noon can't be counted without you......"

Seeing the old man by his mother's side, looking like he was saddle up for her, Wu Xiu silently extended a thumbs up to the old man behind the two of them.

Whenever the Spring Festival gets closer and closer, there are many happy events in the village and outside the village, and it is said that these are the "good" days seen by feng shui masters.

I don't know if it's the day when the same master watches, or if these days are really auspicious days of the zodiac, these married people seem to be together day after day.

Having participated in three wedding banquets in a row, Wu Xiu felt tired. But there is no way, according to the custom of the village, usually a family gets married, and each other family in the village has to send a representative to attend the ceremony, of course, the most important thing is to attend the ceremony.

It is said that this is to show that it is popular and will have good luck in the future. Because her mother was worried that the old man would drink indiscriminately when he went to the banquet, she let Wu Xiu go.

Wu Xiu really didn't want to go, those who got married didn't have any relationship with Wu Xiu, at most he had only met before, and if he went, he had a meal. But he was tired of eating like this every day.
