Chapter 18: Happiness

I gently pushed the door open, and the room was full of cobwebs, and the tables and chairs inside had been corroded by time. It emits a rancid smell.

I picked up a stick from outside and cleaned the webs. Chen Muqing said she went to buy a broom.

I took out the table and chairs inside. After a while, Chen Muqing came back with two brooms and a few pieces of cloth.

"Here, let's clean up together," she said, handing me a handful, and walked in to start cleaning.

I also took the broom and started cleaning.

I was busy cleaning up for more than two hours. From time to time, villagers will come to see each other, and it has been five years, and it is estimated that they don't know each other anymore.

"This, isn't this Xiaomu, after so many years, back? Yo, and a girlfriend? A man in his forties looked me up and down a few times and said.

I took a closer look and knew that this was not Uncle Zhang from the commissary, my grandfather didn't allow me to eat snacks when I was a child, and he secretly gave it to me. I was punished by my grandfather and was not allowed to eat, and he secretly gave me food, in short, I respect him very much.

"Uncle Zhang, it's been a long time," I said to him with a smile.

"Haha, remember me, I thought I didn't know me as an old man when I went out" Uncle Zhang looked at me and said, I knew he was joking.

I wasn't angry, "Uncle Zhang, what are you talking about?"

"Haha, just kidding, it's not interesting. If you haven't eaten, let's go, take your daughter-in-law to my house to eat" Uncle Zhang said and pulled me and prepared to go to his house, Chen Muqing looked at me with a blushing face.

I don't think I have any choice but to explain to Uncle Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, you misunderstood, she is just my colleague, not what you think."

But it's okay if you don't explain it, but when you explain it, it's even more complicated. "Xiaomu, are you still lying to me when you're so old? I can see, look, your daughter-in-law's face is red," Uncle Zhang said and gave me a look.

I was speechless.

"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang. You're really mistaken, she and I really just have an ordinary relationship"

"Alas, don't speak, go. Call your daughter-in-law, "He just pulled me away." I couldn't stand him, I glanced at Chen Muqing, and Chen Muqing nodded at me.

In this way, he was brought to his house by this enthusiastic Uncle Zhang.

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted into the house, "Daughter-in-law, look who's coming." ”

After a while, a woman of about forty walked out of the room, and I knew that she was Uncle Zhang's wife.

She looked at me and Chen Muqing, "This, who are you?" ”

"Little Muler, when he was a child, he often threw stones at our windows, don't you remember?" Uncle Zhang said a little excitedly.

"Xiaomu? Oh, I remember, Uncle Wen's eldest grandson, Wenmu."

I smiled and nodded at her.

But Uncle Zhang seemed to be very excited, "Also, this is Xiaomu's girlfriend."

"Uncle Zhang, you really misunderstood"

"Xiaomu, don't speak, I want to listen to her," Uncle Zhang said and looked at Chen Muqing. "Girl, tell you the truth, are you Xiaomu's girlfriend?"

When Chen Muqing saw this situation, her face, which was already a little red, became even redder. She looked at me, and I was helpless. This Chen Muqing is usually a female man, but she can't do it in this situation.

Uncle Zhang may think she's shy when he sees her like this, "Sister, don't be embarrassed, let's hear it."

Chen Muqing's face showed confusion, and finally nodded slightly.

"Haha, I'll just say it. Okay, I'll go cook with your Aunt Zhang, and you and your daughter-in-law will sit first," Uncle Zhang said and pulled Aunt Zhang into the room.

I couldn't help but feel a little relieved to see how affectionate they were. Maybe that's love. It's a pity that they have been married for so many years and still have no children, so I will find an opportunity to take a good look at Uncle Zhang in a while.

Chen Muqing looked at me, "I'm sorry, I just didn't want to disappoint your Uncle Zhang, if you don't want to do this, I'll just make it clear in a while."

I shook my head at her, and I was touched by what she thought. "Mu Qing, thank you"

She looked at me and smiled, "It's okay, we're good friends." Okay, I'll help you Aunt Zhang," she said and she walked in as well.

After a while, Uncle Zhang came out, "Your daughter-in-law is really virtuous, let her do it, they women do women's things, and we men do our men's things."

I quipped, "What's a man's business?" ”

He gave me a disdainful look, "Thanks to you being out there for so long, isn't the man's business to get two catties of wine and drink two glasses well?" As he spoke, he fetched a bottle of wine from the vat at home.

"Uncle Zhang, you won't see that I can't drink, so you deliberately messed with me"

"You kid, what are you talking about? Men who do not drink wine walk in vain in the world. Haven't you heard that? She said this. It really made me laugh.

"You still have a bit of a rhyme in this sentence."

"You damn boy, go against me," he said, pouring me a glass of wine and a glass for himself.

"Wait, Uncle Zhang, before drinking, I'm going to show you the photo" I think it's inconvenient to show him the face after drinking for a while.

"Looks? Do you still look at faces? You're laughing at you, Uncle Zhang," she said to me, jokingly.

"Uncle Zhang, I just took a look at Aunt Zhang's face, you will have a child, and you should be able to hold your daughter next year or the year after."

Uncle Zhang originally thought I was joking, but when he heard this, although he still didn't believe what I said, he suddenly became excited.

"Xiaomu, what you said is really fake?"

"Uncle Zhang, can I still lie to you? If you don't believe me, I'll tell you about the recent past."

Uncle Zhang obviously still didn't believe it, but he was still a little interested, "Okay, you can talk about it"

"You got a fortune at the beginning of this year, and it should have been from the seller's livestock. Three months ago, Aunt Zhang should have had an illness, which was neither serious nor mild, but it was finally cured. A month ago, you injured your foot......"

I observed Uncle Zhang's miracle, and at this time his eyes were wide open and his mouth was open. The face is incredible. "Xiaomu, you? Do you really know how to look? ”

I nodded, "Uncle Zhang, why am I lying to you?"

"Then what you said just now that I have a daughter is also true?" Uncle Zhang looked excited.

"Right"

"Haha, great, my Zhang family is finally not broken," Uncle Zhang said excitedly.

Aunt Zhang's voice came from the house, "I said that you old man, you are so old, and you won't stop"

When Uncle Zhang heard this, he shouted into the house, "I'm happy today, and you will be happy in a while, haha"

"Come, Xiaomu, have a drink," Uncle Zhang said, raising his wine glass and leaning over. I lifted my glass up and slammed it.

Bang! There was a sound of wine glasses colliding, and Uncle Zhang lifted the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

I was also happy, and I also took a few sips of the wine glass.

At this time, Aunt Zhang came out with an induction cooker and slowly inserted the plug into the socket. "Eat a hot pot today, Mu Qing is still chopping vegetables inside, and it will be fine soon"

"Your daughter-in-law's name is Mu Qing, not bad, nice name." Uncle Zhang began to be serious again. But he just had fun.

After a while, Aunt Zhang and Chen Muqing brought out all the dishes.

Aunt Zhang took a bowl and gave us a bowl of rice. At this moment, I really regarded Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang as my parents. Will it be like this when we eat together as a family of three?

"Xiaomu, what's wrong?" Chen Muqing looked at me and asked me like this.

I shook my head and told her it was fine.

Now the four of us are gathered around a table, which is very warm and comfortable.

Uncle Zhang kept giving vegetables to Aunt Zhang, and Chen Muqing and I looked very embarrassed next to me. Aunt Zhang was also a little embarrassed. "What are you doing? Xiao Mu and Mu Qing looked at it."

Uncle Zhang smiled, "They young people are very open now, we can't fall behind."

Aunt Zhang coughed dryly when she heard this, and Uncle Zhang stopped talking about it.

Uncle Zhang saw that he couldn't talk to Aunt Zhang, so he talked to me again. Aunt Zhang also chatted with Chen Muqing on the side.

"Xiaomu, you said that you and I will have a daughter in the future, is it really fake?" When Uncle Zhang said this, he deliberately made it louder. He didn't actually say this to me, but to Aunt Zhang.

I also cooperated with him, "Of course this is true, will I lie to you?" "I also deliberately amplified my voice.

I glanced at Aunt Zhang, and she seemed a little surprised and a little excited. "Xiaomu, what are you talking to your Uncle Zhang?"

I deliberately didn't speak, so that Uncle Zhang could answer. "He told me that we would have a daughter in the future, aren't you happy?" Uncle Zhang also understood Aunt Zhang's words.

"Xiaomu, what your Uncle Zhang said is true?" Aunt Zhang looked at me excitedly.

I nodded and said yes.

"So how do you know? You won't be comforting me and your Uncle Zhang, right?"

I used what I knew about Uncle Zhang's face just now, and said it to Aunt Zhang again.

Aunt Zhang's expression was similar to Uncle Zhang's expression just now, all of them were incredible, but more of them were surprises. Because they really need a small child.

After eating, Chen Muqing and Aunt Zhang cleaned up the dishes and went to wash. Uncle Zhang told us to spend the night at his place tonight. It's okay to sleep here, but now I'm still like that at home, and I can't live there.

Uncle Zhang went to tidy up the room as he spoke, and I also went to tidy up with him.

After cleaning up, everyone was tired and ready to rest. Because there are only two rooms. Uncle Zhang is going to let me live in a room with Chen Muqing.

"Uncle Zhang, I saw that Mu Qing and Aunt Zhang were chatting very speculatively, so I let the two of them sleep together, and we both slept together" I had no choice but to say to Uncle Zhang like this.

Chen Muqing nodded immediately. Aunt Zhang also agreed. Uncle Zhang couldn't resist us, so he had to sleep with me. I was also relieved.

After chatting with Uncle Zhang for a few words this night, they all slept separately.

There was nothing to do all night, and when I got up early the next morning, I found that Uncle Zhang had already gotten up. I came out to wash my face. As soon as I went out, I saw Uncle Zhang coming over with a new toothbrush.

"Xiaomu, hurry up and brush your teeth and eat breakfast. This morning, Mu Qing and your Aunt Zhang boiled porridge to drink, I haven't drunk porridge for a long time, I have to taste it first" Uncle Zhang said and went to the house.

Immediately, Aunt Zhang's voice came out, "You old man, Mu Qing and Xiao Mu haven't eaten yet, what are you doing?"

"It's okay, let's try it......"

I smiled and went to brush my teeth and wash my face.

Before he could wash it, Uncle Zhang ran over with a bowl of porridge, "Come, Xiaomu, take a bite first" He said and put the porridge on the ground.

I'm really speechless about this Uncle Zhang.

I'll wash it up quickly. He took a sip of the hot porridge. Sure enough, it's good.

After eating breakfast. Bite! I took out my phone and saw that it was a message from Pony, which said, "I'm at your doorstep now, why aren't you at home?" Isn't the house cleaned? ”

I'm going to say goodbye to Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang first, go home to see Xiaoma first, and ask him what he's been doing in the past few years.

"Xiaomu? He's back? Chen Muqing looked at me and asked.

I nodded and said to her, let's go back first.

With this in mind, Chen Muqing and I were ready to say goodbye. "Uncle Zhang, Mu Qing and I still have some business, so we have to go first. I'll see you later. ”

Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang held back, but finally nodded. "Xiaomu, cherish Mu Qing, she is a very good girl," Aunt Zhang said to me.

I had no choice but to say yes.

Aunt Zhang took Chen Muqing's hand and said a few words, but I don't know what to say. Saying that, we're leaving.

On the way, I asked Chen Muqing what Aunt Zhang said to her, and she blushed a little.

I don't want to ask. It should be a woman's business.

After walking for a while, I was about to get home. At this time, I saw a man in a suit sitting at the door.
