Chapter 187: Parental Gifts
"Don't worry, the braised pork is in the pot! The pork ribs are stewed too! Mom doesn't know about you yet!" said the mother with a smile as she chopped the vegetables.
"I know that my mother loves me the most!" Back at home, without outside pressure, Ding He said obediently to his mother. Then he took out his mobile phone and called his father, and it didn't take long for him to connect.
"Hey, Dad, where are you? I'm already home!" Ding He said to his father as he ate the banana on the table.
When Ding He's father heard this, he was very surprised and said, "What? Why didn't I see you when I got home? Didn't I always take the bus and pass through the east gate before!"
"Dad, aren't you making money now! I'll take a taxi back!" Ding He swallowed the banana in his mouth and explained to his father.
"You little rabbit cub, you don't know how to call and say!" When the father heard this, he was a little angry, and complained to Ding He, "I waited for an hour in vain at the east gate!"
Ding He faced his father and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, Dad! Come back quickly, I brought you something good!"
"What's good?" asked my father.
Ding He said to his father, playing with a child's temper: "Keep it secret, come back quickly, Dad, you'll know when you come back!"
"You little rabbit, you've learned to sell guanzi!" the father didn't get angry, and said with a smile.
Not long after, my father came back, and when he heard the footsteps going upstairs, he hurriedly opened the door by the river.
The father entered the door to change his shoes, looked at Ding He, and said in a deep voice, "I'm back!"
"Well, I'm back! I'll get it!" Ding He took the bag from his father's hand.
As soon as he got it in his hand, a fragrance came to his face, Ding He couldn't help it, opened it and took a look. I found that there was a roast duck in the oil-paper package, and it was steaming.
"You little rabbit cub with a pointed nose!" the father changed into slippers, walked into the house, looked at Ding He, and said with a smile.
"It's so fragrant! it's still Lao Liu's family, right?" Looking at the roast duck, Ding He's heart warmed, every time he went home, there was a meal cooked by his mother and a roast duck bought by his father.
The father sat down on the sofa, looked at Ding He and said with a smile: "Of course! Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, Lao Liu's business is getting better and better, and he has been queuing for a while!"
The mother came out of the kitchen and patted Ding He's hand to stop Ding He from stealing food. snatched the roast duck from Ding He's hand, and said angrily: "Have you washed your hands, just steal it?" It's so big, and it's still as greedy as when I was a child." Go sit down, watch TV with your dad, and start dinner right away!"
"Mom, can't you just eat a piece?" Ding He looked at his mother and said pitifully.
"The tip of the cat's nose is sharp! give you a piece, get out quickly!" The mother pinched a piece of roast duck, handed it to Ding He, and pushed Ding He out of the kitchen door.
"Xiao He, come and sit down!Let's talk!" The father beckoned to Ding He, watched Ding He sit down, and continued, "Tell me how you are doing outside during this time?"
Ding He reported good news but not bad news, and said with a smile: "It's very good! As an anchor, it's quite profitable, there is no shortage of food, no shortage of drink, I feel that I am fat!"
I haven't been home for a long time, so I sat down with my parents and had a good chat. Under his father's inquiry, Ding He briefly said what happened in the past period of time, of course, only said yes.
"It's time to eat!" The mother brought out the last dish from the kitchen, and shouted at Ding He and his son, "Don't sit stupidly, wash your hands and eat!"
While his father went to wash his hands, Ding He went to his bedroom, opened the suitcase, and took out the prepared gifts.
"Look here!" Ding He came out of the bedroom, hiding the gift behind his back and said to his parents.
Ding He's mother complained while serving the soup: "Look at what, come over and eat, it'll be cold in a while!"
"Mom, don't worry! Look here!" Ding He raised the gift in his left hand, shook it in front of him, and said to his mother.
I saw Ding He holding a long strip-shaped gift box in his hand, covered with a layer of red flannel, but there were three golden small characters on it, which were too far away to see clearly.
The mother glanced at it, but did not see it clearly, and continued to lower her head to serve the meal. Ding He felt embarrassed, so he reluctantly took the gift box, walked to the dining table, and said to his mother: "Look, Mom, what is this?"
"Jinkla?" Only then did my mother read the three small words clearly.
Ding He smiled, handed the gift box to his mother, and happily explained: "Mom, don't you keep saying that you need three gold to get married now, and Dad didn't buy you anything at that time! When I came, I picked a gold necklace for you, see if you like it?"
"You bear child, what gold necklace did you buy and how much did it cost? I am an old woman, what gold necklace do you wear?" The mother was not happy, but a little angry, and complained to Ding He in a low voice.
"Mom, don't care how much it is, do you think you like it or not?" Ding He looked at his mother with a smile and urged his mother to open the box.
"That's it, old woman, this is a piece of the child's heart, just say something depressing! Let's see how it goes? I don't want the child to retreat!" the father also urged.
The mother put down the bowl in her hand and opened the gift box, only to see a golden necklace lying inside the long box. In order to make up for his mother's wishes, Ding He specially picked a large one, which weighs 30 grams, and the whole necklace is hollow and carved, which looks very delicate and generous.
The mother took the necklace, weighed it around her neck, shook her head and said, "It's not good-looking, it's not worthy of me, let's quit!"
Ding He watched his mother's movements in his eyes, especially when his mother was on her neck, gesturing back and forth, her eyes revealed love. Ding He understands that although his mother is not good, she is actually distressed.
"Mom, I bought this, I can't return it!" In order to let his mother accept it, Ding He could only lie and say, "Besides, it's gold, and it can keep its value at home!"
"You said you can't return it, you kid, why did you buy it! You take it back and ask!" The mother put the necklace in the box and handed it back.
"Mom, I really can't return it! No need to try, people said it!" Ding He stuffed the necklace box back into his mother's hand and said, "Just put it at home, anyway, the gold retains its value!"
"Okay then!" the mother's tone was very helpless, but the hint of joy in her eyes betrayed her mother's mood at this time.
I heard that I couldn't return, and my father also said at this time: "Since you can't return, then take it!"
"Dad, I also brought you a gift, guess what it is?" Ding He asked his father with his left hand behind his back.
"You said you are a little rabbit cub, is it easy to earn two dollars?" and start spending it indiscriminately!" the father looked at Ding He and complained.
