Chapter 479: Celebrating the Festival
"Don't worry about it!"
It happened that a taxi came, and Shen Xin immediately stopped it, got into the car without looking back, and left in tears.
Hao Jun paused, and didn't continue to catch up, forget it, the longer it dragged on, the more it would hurt her.
While his parents had not yet returned, Hao Jun began to seize the time to recite the scriptures silently, firstly to calm his mood better, and secondly, to accumulate the energy on the colorful relics in case of emergency.
He couldn't stop thinking about it. I don't know how long it took, until my father and mother came back with bags full of vegetables. He quickly got up to greet them and took what they were holding.
"Eh, where is Miss Shen? Why don't you see her? As soon as Chang Juan came, she noticed that Shen Xin was not here, and couldn't help but ask.
"She! She went home. Hao Jun had already made up the answer in his heart.
"Home?" Chang Juan glanced at him with some confusion, and couldn't help asking, "Then why are you still here." ”
Hao Jun said: "Mom, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, she asked me to stay with you for the holiday, and she also wants to go home to accompany her parents for the New Year!" ”
"Did she say it herself, or did you say it?" Chang Juan still had a skeptical tone.
"Of course she said it, she was very empathetic and thoughtful." Hao Jun told the lie in a smooth way, and even praised Shen Xin. Of course, it's not too much to praise Shen Xin so much, she is actually a rare good girl.
Chang Juan suddenly took out her mobile phone from her small bag and slid the screen.
"I'll give her a call."
Hao Jun thought that he could deal with the past so-so, but he didn't expect Jiang to be old and spicy. The lie was about to be exposed, which made him a little apprehensive. I thought, if I let my mother know that she was bullying Shen Xin, then I have to count myself down?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he immediately dissuaded his mother and said, "Mom, what is there to call about this, if you really call, she still thinks you are blaming her for saying goodbye!" ”
"Go, stay and go!" Chang Juan scolded him, but still stubbornly dialed the phone.
The bell rang for almost twenty seconds, but no one answered.
"Don't pick it up, don't pick ......it up," Hao Jun muttered silently in his heart.
As expected, no one answered, and the phone hung up automatically.
He couldn't help but exhale secretly.
However, before he could be happy, he heard his mother's mobile phone ringing.
He was about to lean over to see the caller's number, but his mother had already connected the phone and put it in her ear and said, "Hey, Miss Shen!" ”
"Why did you take the initiative to call?" Hao Jun's heart couldn't help but chuckle.
At this time, he only heard his mother say: "You kid, why did you go home by yourself, didn't you say that Xiaoshuai went back with you today?" I just told Xiaoshuai about it. ”
"Oh, it's none of his business?"
"You're really going back alone?"
"Oh, you kid is too considerate, what's the matter with letting him accompany you once, he has been with me for one or twenty Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Well, okay then. Remember to come and play often when you have time. ”
"Okay, okay, say hello to your parents on my behalf! Happy holidays to you all too! ”
"Uh-huh, hmm, bye-bye!"
Although Hao Jun couldn't hear what Shen Xin on the other end of the phone said, he also guessed a rough idea. It's clear that she's taking it all on herself, covering for him.
Chang Juan hung up the phone, glanced at Hao Jun and said, "You kid is so stupid, you missed such a good opportunity in vain." ”
"Ugh! Me, don't I want to spend the holiday with your mother? How to say it, it's also a piece of filial piety! Hao Jun couldn't help but mutter.
Chang Juan glared at him again and said, "How old are you, and you're still sticking to me all day long!" Go and go, buy a bottle of good wine for your Uncle Hao, I forgot about too many things when I was shopping for vegetables just now! ”
"Okay, I'll go!" Hao Jun happily rushed out of the house.
When he returned, his father and mother were busy in the kitchen.
Mom is in charge of the cooking, dad is in charge, and the two are very busy.
He gently put a bottle of mellow liquor on the table and stood quietly, unable to bear to make a sound, so that he missed the warmth of this family.
He felt so lucky, although the world is big, how many people can have such an opportunity?
"When did Xiaoshuai come back? Don't be stunned, just help me buy a bottle of soy sauce and come back. Look at my memory, I remember that there is still a bottle at home, and I can't remember where I put it at once. ”
Just as he was stunned, his mother suddenly appeared at the kitchen door and said.
"Oh, right away!" Hao Jun immediately went out to buy soy sauce again, excited like a little boy who had just gotten his mother's pocket money.
After a while, the soy sauce was also bought, and he couldn't help anymore.
The aroma of various delicacies wafted from the kitchen from time to time, and although Hao Jun was greedy and salivating, he also forced himself to recite the scriptures silently.
Finally, as plates and bowls of delicious food were brought to the table, the sound of stir-frying in the kitchen stopped abruptly.
Another voice that Hao Jun had been looking forward to for a long time sounded - the meal was opened.
Chang Juan shouted when she brought the last dish to the table, as if it was more ceremonial and festive.
However, today's Mid-Autumn Festival is indeed different from the past.
It's been so many years, and the Hao family, which has always only had a mother and son dependent on each other, suddenly has a familiar stranger, which makes this Mid-Autumn Festival seem very different from the past.
With a large round table, nine dishes and one soup, relatively speaking, this Mid-Autumn Festival is very formal and grand.
Because during the festival in the past, Chang Juan still had food stalls in the small square of the food street. Often, the business on this day is also very good, and I am so busy that I don't have time to eat, let alone set the table and spread the table, nine dishes and one soup like today.
With a few glasses of wine, Hao Yuntao gradually became more talkative, and he had to pull Hao Jun and Chang Juan to drink together. Of course, the two of them are not drinking liquor, but cocktails with a very low degree.
Hao Jun is also the first time since returning to the world to make an exception to drink, although the wine is not strong, but in order to make his father happy, the rules he set for himself have been broken.
Since it's broken, it doesn't matter so much, the three of them frequently raise their glasses, take big and small sips casually, as long as they are happy.
After three rounds of drinking, they have almost eaten. Hao Yuntao and Hao Jun continued to drink, and praised Chang Juan's craftsmanship fiercely, praising her with a beautiful smile in her heart, as if she was several years younger all of a sudden.
After the meal, everyone cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together, and then sat lazily on the sofa and drank tea.
Hao Yuntao thought about it, it was time for him to go back, so he got up and prepared to leave.
As soon as his words came out, he heard Hao Jun say: "Uncle Hao, in fact, I called you over today, not just to eat, but also to discuss some other things with you by the way." ”
