Chapter 15: Birthday Celebration for Father
Early the next morning, Lu Xiaojing opened her eyes and saw that Wu Qiming had already gotten up, recalling that she tossed and turned with Wu Qiming last night, she also felt a little funny in her heart, she had an inexplicable desire and desire in the face of this man who had just cheated, and she couldn't understand what was wrong with her.
She laughed at herself in her heart: It's really useless! Then she stretched, got out of bed, put on her slippers and walked out of the bedroom. As soon as she went out, she saw Wu Qiming bringing out a bowl of hot egg noodles from the kitchen. Wu Qiming saw her get up, with a smile on his face, and said to her, "Get up, I'll make you some breakfast, you can eat it while it's hot."
Lu Xiaojing said, "I want to go to the morning exercise first, you put it on the table first", Wu Qiming said, "You got up late today, it's almost time to go to work, I don't think you should exercise in the morning today." Lu Xiaojing looked at the watch on the wall, "Mom, it's past seven o'clock, I've never gotten up so late!" ”。
Lu Xiaojing hurriedly washed, while Wu Qiming put the egg noodles and a butterfly of pickles on the table, and then quietly watched Lu Xiaojing wash up. Lu Xiaojing was wearing a pink nightdress, her hair was fluffy, and her figure was still so graceful, Wu Qiming looked at his wife, and inexplicably fell in love, he felt that he really didn't cherish this almost perfect wife.
After Lu Xiaojing finished washing, when she turned around and saw Wu Qiming looking at her directly, she was stunned at first, and asked casually, "What do you see?" Wu Qiming was awakened by Lu Xiaojing's question, and said with some embarrassment, "I didn't see anything", Lu Xiaojing said, "Do you see that I am ugly and splashy."
Wu Qiming hurriedly said, "No, I just feel that you are really beautiful", Lu Xiaojing snorted, sarcastically disdainfully, "I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, you still go to your little lover's bed!" Wu Qiming lowered his head in shame when she said this.
Lu Xiaojing ignored him, walked to the dining table and ate a few quick bites of noodles, then walked into the bedroom and picked out a set of skirts from the cupboard to put on, looked back and forth in front of the dressing mirror, and felt quite satisfied, because she knew that she was going to celebrate her father's birthday today, so she had to dress appropriately and elegantly.
After dressing, she walked out of the bedroom again, Wu Qiming was still standing in the living room, he said to Wu Qiming, "You pick me up at the hospital at ten o'clock, you can watch the birthday cake and other things", Wu Qiming hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry about it, I won't go to work today, I will prepare it in a while."
Then, Lu Xiaojing changed into shoes, picked up her bag and walked out of the house. When she arrived at the hospital, she first went to check the ward, and there was no special situation, and then she called Dong Zhentang, saying that there was a bit of an urgent matter at home and she needed to take a few hours off, Dong Zhentang didn't ask what was going on, so she agreed.
At less than ten o'clock, Wu Qiming called and said that he was already at the gate of the hospital, Lu Xiaojing explained to the other doctors again, and then went downstairs and went out of the hospital, and saw that Wu Qiming's car had been parked there at the gate of the hospital.
She instinctively walked to the back door of the car, when she was about to open the back door, she stopped again, she suddenly thought that today is to go back to her hometown, usually she sits in the passenger seat, this time if she sits in the back again, it feels a little unreasonable, so she opened the passenger door again, raised her legs and sat in.
Wu Qiming saw that Lu Xiaojing got into the car, and sat next to him, she was really a little excited, she thought that her father-in-law's birthday was really timely rain, creating a rare opportunity for herself and his wife to reconcile, so he said to Lu Xiaojing cordially, "Come, let's go", Lu Xiaojing did not look at Wu Qiming, and said casually, "Let's drive".
Wu Qiming started the car and drove towards Lu Xiaojing's hometown, 50 kilometers away.
Lu Xiaojing was born in a family of doctors, her father was the director of a township hospital, her elder brother inherited his father's business, also studied in the health school, and worked as a doctor in the county people's hospital, and Lu Xiaojing was influenced by her father and brother, coupled with her talent, she was admitted to the medical university and became a gynecologist in the city's traditional Chinese medicine hospital.
Along the way, Wu Qiming always took the initiative to talk to Lu Xiaojing, and the topic of the conversation was nothing more than the situation of the child's high school entrance examination this year, which high school to take the exam, which high school class is better, etc., Lu Xiaojing is actually a school blind, but she is still very concerned about the child's future, so she also discussed some topics with Wu Qiming, in short, the communication between the two people along the way is still endless, as if it is back to the past.
In less than an hour, the car had already arrived in front of the courtyard of Lu Xiaojing's hometown. Wu Qiming stopped the car at the gate of the courtyard, which was to see that Lu Xiaojing's brother's car was already in front. They got out of the car, Wu Qiming took out cakes, flowers and other gifts from the trunk, Lu Xiaojing also carried some things, the two of them walked towards the yard, as soon as they entered the door, Lu Xiaojing shouted "Dad, Mom, we are back".
Hearing Lu Xiaojing's shout, the eldest brother was the first to come out of the house, and Lu Xiaojing's mother also followed. The eldest brother greeted Wu Qiming and took the cake, and said a little anxiously, "Look, I forgot to tell you that I bought the cake", Lu Xiaojing's mother also said, "Your eldest brother is just frizzy, you said that you bought such two big cakes, how can your father eat it!" ”。
Lu Xiaojing grabbed her mother's arm and said, "Mom, don't worry about it, I can't eat it, and you." When Lu Xiaojing's mother heard her daughter say this, she said with a little complaint, "You guys, you just don't know how to live, buy things indiscriminately, we two old people, we can't eat, and all of them are broken."
Brother Lu Xiaojing was a little impatient, "Mom, don't complain, we can't eat it and take it back, let's go up to the house, it's true", Lu Xiaojing heard that her son was impatient, and hurriedly played a round, "Okay, okay, let's go into the house quickly." At this time, Lu Xiaojing's father also came to the door of the house, because his legs and feet were not very good, he did not come out of the door frame, but looking at the arrival of his children and uncle, his face was full of smiles.
Lu Xiaojing and Wu Qiming hurriedly stepped forward to support their father, Lu Xiaojing said to his father cordially, "Dad, you're okay for a while", and my father said happily, "It's good, it's good." Lu Xiaojing looked at the old father's face, flushed, full of red light, and his complexion was not bad.
Everyone entered the back room with joy, and Lu Xiaojing's mother was even more attentive to Wu Qiming, letting him go to the sofa, pouring tea, handing fruits, and asking Wu Qiming's parents how they were okay. Wu Qiming hurriedly asked the old mother-in-law to sit down, and he also took the initiative to pour tea for the old mother-in-law and the old father-in-law, and briefly talked about the situation of his parents, and took his parents to say hello to the two old people.
Subsequently, Wu Qiming and his eldest brother sat together and chatted, Lu Xiaojing and her mother chatted about their children, and Lu Xiaojing's father sat on the side and listened happily to the children's stories and recent situations, and the family was happy.
At this time, Lu Xiaojing's sister-in-law walked in, and Wu Qiming quickly stood up and said hello to his sister-in-law. Lu Xiaojing's sister-in-law also politely chatted with Wu Qiming and Lu Xiaojing for a few words, and said, "You guys talk first, I'm cooking, it's going to be fine right away, we'll start eating in a while", Lu Xiaojing saw her sister-in-law cooking, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll help you", her sister-in-law said, "No, I've done almost it, you can help me serve the food later", saying, Lu Xiaojing's sister-in-law went out of the back room, Lu Xiaojing didn't insist anymore, they continued to chat.
After a while, the sister-in-law shouted in the kitchen to help serve the food, Lu Xiaojing hurriedly went out to help, and Lu Xiaojing's brother and Wu Qiming picked up their father from their seats and came to the dining table in the living room to make it. Lu Xiaojing's brother picked up the cake he bought, and Wu Qiming said, "Big brother, let Dad eat what Xiaojing bought today, Daoxiangyuan's, just customized today", Lu Xiaojing's eldest brother heard it and said, "Okay, my sister must have bought it better than mine", saying that he picked up the cake Wu Qiming bought and opened the box, it is true that both the shape and the cream color look high-end and tasteful.
Wu Qiming put on a birthday hat for his old father-in-law and said, "Dad, you have a birthday today, you may have a wish", the old father wore a birthday hat, a little embarrassed, but the smile on his face was more innocent and bright, he also half-squinted his eyes and made a wish. At this time, Lu Xiaojing also helped her sister-in-law bring the dishes to the table one after another.
Lu Xiaojing's mother looked at her boss wearing a birthday hat and learning to make a wish, and her face was filled with a happy smile, and when her wife finished her wish, she asked jokingly, "Lao Lu, what wish did you make", Lu Xiaojing's father said a little embarrassedly, "What can I wish for, it is nothing more than looking forward to the peace and security of the children and the harmony of the family."
At this time, Lu Xiaojing was also serving a dish, listening to her father's words, her heart was really full of warmth, and she kept saying "pity the hearts of parents in the world", this time she really understood the meaning, she glanced at Wu Qiming with her eyes, but found that Wu Qiming lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, and only she understood that Wu Qiming should be ashamed.
Afterwards, the meal was served, and the whole family shared the cake together and sent deep blessings to the old father. In the process of eating, Lu Xiaojing's mother took good care of Wu Qiming, kept serving him vegetables, and praised Wu Qiming for his filial piety and sensibility, and also told Lu Xiaojing to let Wu Qiming more. In the eyes of the old man, Lu Xiaojing is a strong woman, and Wu Qiming is more honest and more susceptible to Lu Xiaojing's anger.
Lu Xiaojing also understands that Wu Qiming has always done a lot to her family and is quite loved by her parents, but when Wu Qiming cheated, she could only swallow the bitterness into her stomach, but she also understood that on the parents' side, Wu Qiming had an advantage. Therefore, Lu Xiaojing also promised her mother in her mouth and reassured her mother.
The family talked and laughed at the dinner table, and they were happy, because Wu Qiming didn't drink while driving, but he was quite attentive at the table, constantly pouring wine for Lu Xiaojing's eldest brother and father, and repeatedly invited his father-in-law and mother-in-law to live in the city for a period of time, which also made the old couple even more happy, especially Lu Xiaojing's mother, looking at Wu Qiming's eyes, it was even closer than her son.
After the wine and dinner, Lu Xiaojing's sister-in-law and Lu Xiaojing cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together, Wu Qiming accompanied his father-in-law, mother-in-law and eldest brother to continue chatting, and later after finishing the work, Lu Xiaojing also joined in, and everyone chatted for a while about their studies and parents, and before they knew it, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Xiaojing said to Wu Qiming, "Why don't we go back first, I'm still working over there", Lu Xiaojing's mother was a little reluctant when she saw that her daughter was leaving, and said, "You just came here for a while, you have to leave, you won't ask for a leave." After listening to her mother's words, Lu Xiaojing was also a little unbearable, she had been devoted to her work for so many years, and she had too little time to accompany her parents.
When Lu Xiaojing's brother saw it, he hurriedly came out to play a round and said to his mother, "Oh, don't always be embarrassed for my sister, you also know how hard it is to be a doctor, and you can't help yourself!" Lu Xiaojing's mother listened to her son's words and stopped talking.
At this time, Wu Qiming hurriedly picked up the words and said, "Dad, Mom, let's do it, you will go with us in a while, stay at our house for a few days, and chat with my parents by the way", Lu Xiaojing's mother heard what her uncle said, her expression suddenly became happy again, and she said to Wu Qiming with a smile, "Qiming, we won't go today, you are usually so busy, and besides, your father's legs and feet are not very convenient, he is lazy at home, and he doesn't want to go out."
Wu Qiming still wanted to insist, but Lu Xiaojing's brother spoke, "Qiming, I won't let them go today, when they want to go one day, I'll drive them over, so let's go, you go first, Xiaojing still has to go to work, don't always delay work." At this time, Lu Xiaojing's mother also followed, "You guys go first, your brother is right, let him send us over when we want to go!" ”。
As he spoke, Lu Xiaojing's eldest brother and mother stood up, Wu Qiming and Lu Xiaojing didn't continue to let go when they saw it, and they all got up from their chairs, Lu Xiaojing walked up to her father and whispered, "Dad, why don't I go first, and we'll come to see you in two days, okay?" ”。
Lu Xiaojing's father nodded and said, "Let's go, don't worry about me, we're fine at home", listening to her father's words, Lu Xiaojing's eyes were a little moist, she felt guilty about her father from the bottom of her heart and had a deep attachment to her father, she secretly told herself: Go home more to see her father, look at her mother!
In this way, with guilt, Lu Xiaojing and Wu Qiming walked out of the house, said goodbye to their parents and got in the car to return to the city.
