Chapter 42: Father's Day

On Sunday morning, Xu Xincheng got up at 6 o'clock, first went to the park to run and exercise, listened to audio books at the same time, and then went to the small restaurant in the community to have breakfast, and when he returned home, he cleaned up, washed his clothes, and then took a hot shower, and when these things were done, the time was 8:10.

At this time, the father and mother should have returned home after the morning exercise, so he took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a video call.

Usually, he usually calls his mother's phone, but today is different, today is Father's Day, so he dials his father's phone. My father is honest, usually doesn't talk much, doesn't like to talk about the family's shortcomings, every time I talk on the phone, I only say a few words, and then I hand over the phone to my mother, and I listen with a smile on the side.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and Xu Xincheng happily greeted: "Dad, morning!"

On the other end of the phone, there was his father's happy laughter, and the video screen shook a few times, and after a while, his happy smiling face appeared in the picture, and it could be seen that he was in a very good mood today.

"Dad, I wish you a happy Father's Day!"

He didn't say anything back, just laughed vigorously. He does that every time he wishes him a happy holiday.

"I received the tea I bought for you yesterday, right? The tea tastes good this time, right?"

The first thing he did when he got up on Thursday morning was to buy his father six pounds of good red robes online, and last night he checked the logistics details and knew that the package had been delivered.

In addition to wood carving and stone carving, my father's hobby in this life is to drink tea, but in order to save money, he buys very ordinary tea every time.

Since Xu Xincheng was in college, he used the money he earned from his part-time job to buy some tea for his father from time to time, but the money he earned at that time was too small to buy any good tea for his father. After working in Hongfei Company for a month, on the night he received his first month's salary, he bought two catties of fine red robes for his father, and he would buy some good tea for his father on every big festival in the future.

He specially bought more this time, and the quality is much better than before, after the promotion and salary increase, he now has a better financial ability to buy more and better tea for his father. He calculated that although he likes to invite relatives, friends and colleagues to drink tea with him at school, and he has to make several cups a day, the tea he bought this time should be enough for him to drink for two or three months.

"Roger. The taste of tea is very good! But there are too many, don't buy so much in the future, don't buy such an expensive one, it's too expensive, and the money should be kept for yourself, ah!"

"It's not much, if you want to drink tea, drink it better. ”

He knew that he couldn't talk about it for too long, or his father would continue to say that he was spending money indiscriminately, and he asked, "Dad, you were just busy with work, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"The day before yesterday, I heard from my mother that you took another job for wood carving, right? And this time, the time is tight and the amount is large. ”

"Yes. Father said happily. Every time he receives a job in wood carving, he will be very happy, first, he can earn some extra money, and second, wood carving is his biggest hobby, even if he is tired, he is not tired of it, often so busy that he forgets to eat.

"Don't get tired. ”

"No, it won't. ”

He knew that persuasion could not persuade him, but his father's health had always been very good, so he was not too worried, thinking of this, he asked, "How is grandma's health in the past two days?"

"Your grandmother has been very good physically and mentally for the past two days. In the morning, your mother and I pushed her to go on the morning exercise again, and went around the fields and ponds. ”

"That's good. Dad, I want to talk to grandma. ”

"Your sister-in-law has just come over to pick up your grandmother to her house, and she will not be sent back until tonight. ”

"Oh. Then it's going to be hard for my sister-in-law today!"

"Talk to your mom, I'm going back to work. ”

"Good. ”

……

After making the call, it was still the old rule, Xu Xincheng made a cup of green tea by himself, came to the desk, sat down, read a book, watched an American drama, had lunch, and then continued to read.

At 13:55, after he was dressed neatly, he tidied up in front of the mirror, and today he was wearing another polo shirt he bought last time, the grass green one, and the whole person looked very energetic.

At 14:28, Xu Xincheng came to the downstairs of the New Century Building, as soon as he entered the door of the building, the mobile phone on his body vibrate, and the "New Beginning" piano song rang immediately, and he took out the mobile phone to see that it was Lucy, he quickly pressed the answer button and politely greeted: "Lucy, hello!"

"Hi Steve, we already met in the café yesterday, I have an idea, let's find another place today, I know a good place. ”

He was a little surprised, but in the time he had known Lucy, accidents were not unusual, he was even a little used to it, he adjusted in an instant, and said happily, "Okay!"

"Then we'll see you at the gate of the building, and I'll pick you up at three o'clock. ”

"Good. See you later. ”

Next door to the New Century Building is a large shopping mall, Xu Xincheng opened his mobile phone to check, and learned that there was a bookstore on the fifth floor, he took the elevator directly to the fifth floor, found the bookstore, walked around for a while, and looked through two new books that had just been listed.
