Chapter 141: Guilty of Petition
Wencai has been hiding behind Li Wenxue and does not dare to squeak.
"If you can really come to my house, your old aunt will be able to look at me."
Although he has only been seen for four years, Li Yushu's physical condition is much worse than before. His hair has turned gray, his back is a little rickety, and his legs and feet don't seem to be very neat.
Shumei saw Uncle Li like this, if she could, she really wanted to be a nanny at Uncle Li's house.
"As long as my current boss is willing, I will come to my uncle immediately and cook my uncle's favorite dishes for him every day."
The two are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, they can't stop chatting as soon as they meet, and they regard Li Wenxue and Li Wencai as transparent.
"Really, then I'll let Literature talk to your boss, and I must dig you up to our house."
"Uncle Li, don't worry, let me cook a meal first, you see if it suits your appetite, and then it's not too late for Brother Li to find my boss."
Shumei took the things that were brought to Uncle Li on the coffee table, and explained them to Uncle Li one by one, what they were and what effects they had, and Shumei told Uncle Li word for word.
Uncle Li smiled from ear to ear, his son and daughter-in-law were at work on weekdays, and Xiaoshi was also at school, and they all came back late. He and a cooking aunt are left at home, the cooking aunt is very introverted, never chatting with Uncle Li much, he feels that he is bored and almost moldy.
His legs and feet are inconvenient, the floor here is high, not as high as before in the courtyard, and his daily activity space is in this house.
The sudden arrival of this Shumei simply made him ecstatic.
"Okay, it's been a long time since I've eaten your cooking, I'll definitely eat two more bowls of rice today."
"Thank you, Uncle Li, I'm ready for the vegetables and meat, and I just need a kitchen that can be operated, that Uncle Li, I brought someone to help carry the vegetables and meat, you won't drive him out, right?"
"How so? The kitchen is over there. ”
Uncle Li felt that Shumei was a little too much, and couldn't help but smile knowingly, pointing in the direction of the kitchen,
"Thank you, Uncle Li, Wencai, for not bringing the vegetables and meat to the kitchen."
When Wen Cai heard the sound, he walked out from behind Li Wenxue with his head down, and ran towards the kitchen sneakily and quickly.
"Wencai? You...... He ......"
Shumei's sudden move caught Uncle Li a little off guard, he heard the name he hadn't heard for a long time, and looked at Wencai who hurriedly walked into the kitchen, speechless.
Uncle Li's face was more surprised than angry, and it was obvious that he had already forgiven this "unfilial son" in his heart.
"Uncle Li, you just wait here, the delicious meal will come soon."
Shumei pulled Uncle Li, who was stunned and at a loss standing there, back on the sofa and asked him to sit and wait.
She got up and walked in the direction of the kitchen, and dragged Li Wenxue over by the way.
"Brother Li, tell me where the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are placed!"
Wen Cai hid in the kitchen alone, waiting for Shumei in fear. He saw Shumei coming in and hurriedly grabbed Shumei's arm. I couldn't wait to ask, "Shumei, how is it?" Did my dad tell me to get out? ”
"The situation is much better than expected, it seems that Uncle Li has accepted you in his heart, and when he eats later, give him another step down, and the knot between you will be completely untied."
"Really? Great, I seem to rush out and call Dad now, the word is almost too unfamiliar to speak. ”
Wen Cai was so excited that he burst into tears.
"Alright, let's help! Cook a meal a minute earlier, and your word can be called a minute earlier. Brother Li, tell me where you put the things you often use! ”
Shumei is very calm, not as excited as Wencai.
"I'll call Aunt Wen to come over and help you, after all, I don't know much about these things in the kitchen."
"That's for the best."
Li Wenxue called Aunt Wen, who was cooking, to the kitchen, and he went to the living room to accompany his father, and by the way, he wanted to find out Uncle Li's tone.
Today, Meng Li took the small stone to her relatives, and there were only three of them left in the family, which is undoubtedly the right time and place, without Meng Li's embarrassment, it would be much easier for Wen Cai to get Uncle Li's forgiveness.
Qing Ke and Dani had been sitting on the chairs downstairs waiting, and Qing Ke didn't know what she should do next or what to do. She never remembered who the person Wen Cai and Shumei had just met, and until now, she was still thinking about it.
The two of them sat there stupidly, Dani couldn't stand the heat, and repeatedly told Qing Ke a few words, and ran to the store opposite to buy two bottles of water to quench her thirst.
Qing Ke held the water that Dani bought, but didn't drink it, just held it stupidly, looking preoccupied.
Dani shook her head helplessly, and could only accompany quietly.
Their inaction gave Shumei enough time, and soon Shumei made a hearty lunch.
Wencai and Aunt Wen helped bring the meal to the table, and Shumei specially asked Aunt Wen to find tea leaves and teacups, and made a new cup of tea with freshly boiled water. In order to let the tea be eaten as soon as possible, she kept turning the tea through two bowls so that the tea could cool down as soon as possible.
"Wencai, come here."
Shumei tied a thorn strip prepared in advance to Wencai's back and served the brewed tea to Wencai.
"What are you going to do here? What is this you tied up for me? ”
Wen Cai didn't quite understand Shumei's intentions, and touched the things on his back with his hand in confusion.
"Have you ever heard of it? When you go out later, you will get down on your knees and serve the tea, and tell Uncle Li what you want to say to Uncle Li. ”
"This ...... Will this work? ”
"If you want to admit your mistakes from the bottom of your heart and want to get Uncle Li's forgiveness, this will definitely work."
Shumei said confidently, although this guilt is a bit child's play, but for an elderly person like Uncle Li, it should be easy to accept this more traditional culture.
Wen Cai held the teacup with trembling hands, and walked to the living room tremblingly under Shumei's stiff pull.
He knelt at Uncle Li's feet with a pop and raised the teacup in his hand.
Uncle Li was taken aback by Wen Cai's sudden action, and he was a little overwhelmed. With puzzled eyes, he looked at Shumei, Wenwen and Aunt Wen who were watching from the side, thinking that he wanted to get answers from these people's mouths.
Dad didn't get angry?
Wen Cai peeked at Uncle Li, he expected that Uncle Li would be the same as before, he would scold, but the truth was beyond his expectations, and the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.
"Wencai, you are talking! What are you doing stupidly? ”
Seeing that Wen Cai was silent, Shumei bowed down and whispered in Wen Cai's ear.
Wen Cai suddenly realized and spoke hesitantly.
"Dad, I know it's wrong, you hit me! I will never hide again, and I will never run away again, and I am an unfilial rebel like me, even death is not enough. I have been mentally tortured for more than four years, and every day at midnight when I dream back, I can dream of my mother, she is still so amiable, she asks me, why don't you do your filial piety under my father's knees, can she not let her die blindly? Every now and then, I wake up scared and look at the empty room, which doesn't feel like home. I felt very lonely and helpless, I had a good home, but I destroyed it with my own hands, and I was to blame for all of this. ”
Wen Cai burst into tears, although he said it in a messy manner, and there were not a few words to the point, but Uncle Li actually listened to every sentence, and instead of being angry, he burst into tears.
Li Wenxue stood next to the sofa with a crying expression.
"Uncle Li, the tea is cold, you can drink this cup of atonement tea! Blood is thicker than water, who is willing to take revenge on their son for the rest of their lives. Let Wencai go home more in the future to fulfill his filial piety and make up for his past mistakes, you don't want Wencai to be guilty for a lifetime, right? ”
In fact, it is not that Shumei can speak well, but that time is the best medicine, and after the baptism of time, the pain and hatred in Uncle Li's heart have been washed away.
Now, he only hopes that his family will be with harmony, and he is already a person who is half buried in the loess. Everything in the world is like floating clouds in their eyes, and what they hope for is that in the last time, the family can be happily together.
Shumei saw Uncle Li's moved tears, and knew that the matter was done, so she hurriedly added more fire. She knelt down with a thud, plucked the thorn behind Wen Cai, and held it high.
"Uncle Li, if you don't think it's enough to relieve your anger, after drinking tea, beat him up with wattle sticks, if you feel that it is laborious, I can help you do it. And I can guarantee that from now on I will help you supervise him well, and if he makes a mistake, I will call you as soon as possible, and then tie him up and let you go. ”
This is Wencai's family matter, and Shumei also knows that it is a little inappropriate for her to say such things. But in order to strike while the iron is hot and let Uncle Li get off the donkey, she can't take care of it so much.
Hearing Shumei's words, Wen Cai was obviously a little dissatisfied, and he glanced at Shumei with slanted eyes.
Okay, you Kang Shumei, who do you think you are? Isn't it just one of my nannies who dares to talk to my dad like this, and still take me as a boss in his eyes?
But Shumei actually knelt down for her father in order to help herself, Wen Cai thought of this, and was grateful to Shumei in her heart.
He muttered in his heart, and without paying attention, the teacup in his hand was brought over by Uncle Li.
"If this cup is daughter-in-law's tea, then I am still happy to drink it, for the sake of my daughter-in-law's face, I will forgive you this rabbit cub."
Uncle Li said with a smile while using the tea lid to catch up with the tea leaves floating on the surface. Obviously, Shumei's words made him misunderstand, and he really thought that there was something between Shumei and Wencai.
"This ...... This ......"
"That'...... This...... It's not ......"
Shumei wanted to explain, and Wencai also wanted to explain, but seeing that Uncle Li had already raised his head to drink tea, they swallowed it back when they mentioned the words in their throats, and both of them shook their heads helplessly.
……
Dani wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and the tip of her nose, her expression was unusually ugly, she really couldn't stand it, this Qing Ke sat for hours. Now that I'm hungry and thirsty, I really don't have the heart to accompany Qingke to be a wooden man here.
"Coco, what are you going to do? In this scorching sun, you won't let me accompany you here to be dried by this sun, right? ”
