Chapter 23

After about half an hour, Lin Junguo returned. Lin Zhao heard Zheng Xiufen ask him, "Why didn't you go to work?" ”

Lin Junguo smiled and said, "I went to hold a parent-teacher conference for Xiao Zhao today, and I have a day off." ”

Zheng Xiufen read dissatisfiedly: "It's more than 100 yuan a day, and in the case of the family, you still have a day off." ”

Lin Junguo sneered: "You be quiet, classmate Xiao Zhao is here." ”

According to Zheng Xiufen's character, she should shout more vigorously at this time. But the strange thing is that she didn't say anything this time.

Lin Zhao glanced at Qin Muyang and thought that this person's charm was so great that even Zheng Xiufen bought his account.

When Lin Junguo was cooking, Qin Muyang offered to help. Lin Junguo kicked him out of the cramped kitchen and told him to watch TV in the living room.

Lin Zhao followed behind Qin Muyang with an unhappy face, he preferred to stay in the room with Qin Muyang and chat, but Qin Muyang said that it was too rude, so why should he come out to say hello.

Zheng Xiufen sat on the sofa, holding her son Lin Nan, who had just turned one year old, in her arms.

Qin Muyang sat down on the side and picked up the toys on the coffee table to tease the child. Lin Nan ate this set very much, and was so amused that he danced.

Zheng Xiufen also smiled and lowered her head to teach her son: "Call brother, brother-brother." ”

Lin Nan couldn't speak yet, so he could only utter vague words like "Mom". Even so, he still made a sound like "pot" under the guidance of Zheng Xiufen.

Lin Zhao sat on the side and watched, and suddenly felt very dramatic.

Lin Nan was born for more than a year, and his real brother has never teased him like Qin Muyang. Don't talk about teasing him, he just hasn't seen Lin Nan much - Zheng Xiufen deliberately didn't let Lin Nan contact him, and he also resisted this younger brother who robbed his father from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Zhao watched coldly here, and Lin Nan was leaning on Qin Muyang with his legs on the other side.

Qin Muyang hugged Lin Nan and held his hand and leaned towards Lin Zhao: "There is also an elder brother here, called elder brother." ”

Lin Zhao was startled, and subconsciously went to see Zheng Xiufen's reaction. I saw that the smile on Zheng Xiufen's face was a little stiff, but it didn't stop Qin Muyang.

Lin Zhao didn't want to pay attention to Lin Nan, he didn't like Lin Nan was one thing, and how he and Lin Nan should get along after Qin Muyang left.

However, Lin Nan didn't know the bend in his heart, and he pounced with a wave of his little hand.

Lin Zhao wanted to retreat, but Qin Muyang reminded him on the side: "Be careful." ”

Seeing that Lin Nan was about to fall face down, Lin Zhao hurriedly reached out to support him.

Lin Nan didn't know that his little face had almost turned into a big pie face, and he was still giggling happily.

The child's body is soft and soft, with a milky smell peculiar to babies.

Lin Zhao hugged Lin Nan, his whole body stiff.

Lin Nan is a very good child, and he can laugh happily when he teases casually.

Lin Zhao listened to his crisp laughter, and suddenly felt that his younger brother was not so annoying, but he had a bad fate and a disgusting mother.

Looking at Zheng Xiufen, who was expressionless behind Qin Muyang, Lin Zhao sighed in his heart, hoping that this child would not be ruined by his mother.

After playing with Lin Nan for a while, there was a knock on the door. Lin Junguo poked his head out of the kitchen and shouted to Lin Zhao: "Xiao Zhao go and open the door, it may be that Weiwei is here." ”

Lin Zhao was trying to find an excuse to return Lin Nan to Qin Muyang, but when he heard this, he immediately left his younger brother and ran to open the door.

Lin Zhao opened the door, and sure enough, it was Liu Weiwei who came.

Lin Junguo came out and beckoned: "Weiwei is here, come in and sit, the food will be ready immediately." ”

Liu Weiwei smiled sweetly at Lin Junguo and handed him the gift bag in her hand: "Uncle Lin, happy birthday!" ”

When Lin Junguo saw the gift, he said angrily: "You kid, come here, what kind of gift do you buy." ”

Liu Weiwei said: "It's not a valuable thing, it's just a piece of my heart." ”

Lin Junguo took the gift, and his mouth was still chattering: "Don't do this next time, I'm an elder, where can I be embarrassed to accept gifts from your juniors." Besides, you're all students, so you have to ask your family for money. ”

Liu Weiwei coaxed him: "Okay, okay, I'll buy you better ones when I earn my own money in the future." ”

Lin Junguo said: "Even if you earn money, you have to save money, you have this heart, uncle is very happy." ”

Lin Junguo put the gift and went back to the kitchen, and Zheng Xiufen also hugged Lin Nan, who was about to sleep, back to the room.

Lin Zhao returned to the sofa, Qin Muyang immediately leaned over, pulled Lin Zhao and asked in a low voice, "Today is my uncle's birthday?" ”

Lin Zhao nodded.

Qin Muyang was a little anxious: "Why don't you tell me, I came empty-handed like this." ”

"Didn't you buy fruit?" Lin Zhao teased. He looked in the direction of the kitchen and said, "My dad doesn't have a birthday, so I'm calling you for dinner." If I hadn't had a parent-teacher conference today, he would have gone to work. ”

Besides, even his father's pillow man forgot his birthday.

Qin Muyang still had to say something, Lin Junguo came out with a bowl of dishes: "You guys are ready to prepare, and you will eat immediately." ”

Qin Muyang washed his hands and wanted to help serve the food. Lin Junguo stopped him and said, "I'll serve the dishes, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Qin Muyang couldn't resist him, so he had to sit at the dining table with Liu Weiwei and wait. Lin Zhao, as the little master, helped with the dishes and chopsticks.

There was a big table full of dishes, Lin Junguo put the dishes on the table, and went to the room to call Zheng Xiufen.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very good, Lin Junguo rarely talked much, and Qin Muyang and Liu Weiwei were also talkers. Although Zheng Xiufen didn't talk much, at least she didn't shake her face, and occasionally greeted Qin Muyang with a smile.

Lin Junguo took a sip of wine, looked at the table and sighed: "Speaking of which, our family's dinner table has not been so lively for a long time. "He goes to work early and returns late, and he doesn't eat three meals at home. Lin Zhao has to go to school, and he is only at home on weekends. Even if the family of four is at home occasionally, Lin Zhao will go back to the room with a bowl to eat.

Qin Muyang said: "Uncle, if you don't feel annoyed, we will come every year on your birthday in the future." ”

Liu Weiwei nodded in agreement.

Lin Junguo said: "Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I be annoyed." ”

"Then let's talk about it." Qin Muyang said with a smile.

Lin Junguo was in a good mood, drank a lot of wine, and accidentally drank a little high, pulled Qin Muyang and Liu Weiwei and said, "I thank you, really, I thank you." I'm busy with work, and I'm rarely at home, so I don't have a lot to take care of Xiao Zhao. After I went to high school, this kid was silent a lot, and he was no longer close to me, I was worried about him, and I didn't know how to communicate with him. If it weren't for you, I'd be worried that this kid would be going to be bad. Weiwei, I won't talk about it, for so many years, you have been with Xiao Zhao. What do you do to Xiao Zhao, my uncle sees it in his eyes and remembers it in his heart. As for Mu Yang, although you and Xiao Zhao haven't known each other for a long time, during this time, you have made up classes and taken Xiao Zhao out to play, and Xiao Zhao has become a lot more cheerful. It is Xiao Zhao's blessing to be able to meet you, and it is also the blessing of my Lin Junguo. ”

When his father said these words in front of his friends, Lin Zhao was a little ashamed: "Why are you suddenly saying this!" ”

Qin Muyang patted his hand and motioned him not to speak: "Uncle, what you said is wrong, what is not thankful, Lin Zhao also takes care of me on weekdays." I'll be honest with you, my personality is not very good, everyone is reluctant to contact me, and only Lin Zhao is willing to be friends with me. If Lin Zhao is blessed to meet me, then it is a great blessing for me to meet him. ”

His son was praised, and Lin Junguo was very happy: "You are all good boys, come, for your friendship, let's have a toast!" ”

Qin Muyang put down the wine glass and said, "Uncle, don't work too hard in your usual life, you can't earn enough money, or your body matters." Having breakfast and dinner with the family or something, it doesn't delay much. ”

"I also know this reason," Lin Junguo sighed, "It's just that I've been poor and scared all these years, and I always have to have a little money in my hand to feel at ease." You don't know, when Xiao Zhao first entered high school, his aunt was sick, and the family's money was spent, and he couldn't even pay his tuition. And then it was me ......."

Zheng Xiufen interrupted Lin Junguo's words: "Are you drunk and confused? It's okay to say this. ”

"Who drank and was confused? I'm awake. After Lin Junguo finished saying the lines often said by drunk people, he continued to pull Qin Muyang and said, "Those days were really difficult, even more difficult than when Xiao Zhao just left." ”

Qin Muyang comforted him: "It's all over." ”

Lin Junguo nodded: "Yes, it's all over, it's all over." ”

Qin Muyang saw that Lin Junguo was immersed in the memories of the past, and changed the topic and said a lot of interesting things, which made him happy again.

The meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, Lin Junguo was so drunk that he walked flutteringly, and he was still thinking about washing the dishes. Zheng Xiufen pulled him back to the room half-dragging and half-dragging him.

I don't know if it's because of Qin Muyang, Zheng Xiufen, who has always hated Lin Junguo's drinking, didn't say a word this time, and took care of the drunkard relentlessly.

Qin Muyang also drank a lot of wine, but he could still walk in a straight line and his consciousness was also very clear.

However, Lin Zhao didn't let him follow into the kitchen, poured a cup of hot water, and let him sit on the sofa to sober up.

In the kitchen, Liu Weiwei was amazed: "I really didn't expect Qin Muyang to have such a side, he said more at noon today than he said in school for a year and a half, right?" If it weren't for the fact that he was taught to believe in science and oppose superstition from an early age, I would have wondered if he was possessed by a ghost. ”

Lin Zhao bumped into Liu Weiwei: "Don't talk nonsense, Qin Muyang just looks cold, but he is actually a good person." ”

Liu Weiwei "tsk" twice: "Yo, you say this as if you know him better." Lin Xiaozhao, you have to figure it out, you have only been friends for more than a month. ”

Lin Zhao felt in his heart: What if they have only been friends for more than a month? I just know him.
