Hearing his son complain about himself in front of his daughter like this, Su Daqiang tried to make amends:

"What you said is too exaggerated, I only took a shower once, obviously twice."

Zeng Xian didn't give any face,

"It's twice, and once it's the day the eldest brother came, he washed you, and it was a month ago."

Su Mingyu felt that if he didn't endure it any longer, he might hold back his internal injuries, so he snorted and said:

"Dad, don't you have an itch on your body?"

Su Daqiang's old face was red,

"What do you know, it's not good for the health of the elderly to take too many baths, this is what the doctor said."

"Yes, you can't wash it only once every half a month, so you're not afraid of lice on your body. In this way, you listen to me, we will wash once a week in the winter and twice a week in the spring and autumn. Summer is going to be a little more troublesome, at least once every two days. Dad, can you do it? ”

Su Mingyu's words seemed to be asking for Su Daqiang's opinion, but in fact, it sounded more like an order.

The funny thing is that although Su Daqiang was a little difficult to accept, he still nodded in agreement.

Zeng Xian was speechless, if he said so, this old man would be a fool, and he might have to charge himself with unfilial piety.

Fortunately, Su Mingyu is still a clear person, and he will not blindly disagree with him because of previous events.

Although the meal did not start very friendly, the ending was a happy one. Especially Su Mingyu, his attitude towards Zeng Xian has changed a lot. Although I still say a sentence from time to time, at least I don't have the usual straight face when facing him, and sometimes I can smile a little.

Su Mingyu took an urgent phone call halfway, and from Su Mingyu's simple reply of a few words, it could be judged that something bad had happened in their company.

On the way home, Su Daqiang said to Zeng Xian:

"Can you give me some freedom in the future, don't follow me all day long."

Zeng Xian understood what he meant, and it was estimated that he was watching too closely during this time, and this old man couldn't stand it anymore.

"Okay, but you'll have to tell me where you're going and what you're doing. The mobile phone should be fully charged every night, and you should take it with you when you go out, and you should answer your calls in time. If I can do these things, I won't be watching you all day. ”

Zeng Xian is also annoyed to follow him all day long, and it is better to meditate on a stump and practice luck when he has this time.

There is also the decoration of the new house, although it is all for people to do, but it is best to check it from time to time. In case something is a problem that is not found in time, it is troublesome to go after moving in and then after-sales.

Such a small request is nothing, of course Su Daqiang agreed.

At breakfast the next day, Su Daqiang received a call from Su Mingyu, saying that she was going to the United States on a business trip, and asked if there was anything she wanted to bring to Su Mingzhe and them.

Su Daqiang was already angry with this eldest son, where would he think about bringing things to them.

"It's pretty much the same thing he buys me for, why should he ask me to buy him something, don't buy it! You are not allowed to bring anything to him. I've been abroad for a long time, and I've forgotten about it. And tell him, I don't have his son, and he doesn't have me as a father. ”

Thinking of the braggadocio he had bragged about in front of his old colleagues because of this trip to the United States, Su Daqiang couldn't wait to dig a hole and hide. If you happen to run into those people somewhere, and they ask why they don't go to the United States, they don't know what to say.

The old man was so angry that he went out without even finishing breakfast, but he didn't forget to bring his mobile phone.

Zhu Li is resting today, and plans to go to the new house with Zeng Xian to have a look. After breakfast, the two went out.

The new house is not yet half renovated, and the floor is all finished. The two bought something to eat and drink, and told them to work and spend more snacks. It was a mess inside, and the two didn't stay long before they came out.

"Husband, do you want to make a phone call and ask where Mingyu is now, if she is at home, let's just stop by their house to have a look."

Zeng Xian thought it was a good idea.

Although I know that Su Mingyu's house is in this community, I don't know which one it is.

took out his mobile phone and dialed Su Mingyu's number,

"Hey!"

The voice was still so cold, but the speed of answering the phone was faster.

"Mingyu, where are you now?"

"Why is this asking?"

"Your second sister-in-law and I came to see the decoration, and your second sister-in-law said that she wanted to go to your house to have a look, and asked if you were at home?"

Su Mingyu was silent.

She bought this house for four or five years, and no one else came, including her family, except for her colleagues in the company who came to celebrate her on the day of the housewarming.

She had also wanted to forget the past, and the family lived here. Eating three meals a day, arrogance with her parents, and discussing work matters with her brothers, she set aside five bedrooms in her home for this purpose.

It's just that reality is often brutal.

Zhao Meilan didn't say that she came to live here, so she didn't bother to come and see.

In order not to let a few bedrooms become decorations, Su Mingyu made a quilt for the beds in each room, and slept in it every day.

After so many years, she has become accustomed to having only herself in Nuoda's house, but she didn't expect that the first people who wanted to come to her house turned out to be the most hated second brother Su Mingcheng and her wife.

"I, I'm going out soon."

Su Mingyu didn't know what he was thinking, as if he wanted them to come, but he didn't seem to want them to come.

Zeng Xian didn't know Su Mingyu's entanglement at the moment, and said:

"So you haven't gone out yet, your house is that building, I'll go over with your second sister-in-law."

Su Mingyu subconsciously replied:

"Amount~6 buildings"

"6 buildings? My 12 buildings are just behind your house, I didn't expect our two families to be so close! You wait a minute, and we'll get there. ”

Unexpectedly, there was a green area and passage between his house and Su Mingyu's house, and it was only a few minutes' walk away.

However, the husband and wife still drove around to avoid turning back and driving.

The house type is the same as theirs, they are all large units, and even the orientation is the same.

The two walked to the door, Zeng Xian pressed the doorbell, and after a while, Su Mingyu came over to open the door.

"Mingyu!"

"Second sister-in-law!"

Su Mingyu didn't know what to call Zeng Xian, so he simply didn't call him.

"Didn't Dad come with you?"

曾仙 says:

"He, can't he get angry when he gets your call in the morning? I hung up the phone and went out to play chess with my neighbor's uncle. ”

"This old man, his heart is really small."

Su Mingyu still knows her old father very well.

"Mingyu, how's it going?"

After entering the door, Julie asked.

Su Mingyu poured a cup of tea for the two of them and said:

"It's only going for a few days, and I don't need much. I've packed it up, and if you weren't coming, I'd be out by now. ”

Zhu Li was a little embarrassed when she said this.

Zeng Xian played the round and said:

"What time is your plane?"

"1 p.m."

Zeng Xian looked at his phone,

"It's not 11 o'clock yet, so there's no need to rush it. In this way, we are also coming to your house for the first time, don't you take us to see it? ”

"yes!"

Julie also smiled.

Gu Yan Su Mingyu reluctantly said:

"See for yourselves, I'll go change my clothes."

Su Mingyu entered the cloakroom and changed into the clothes she had prepared in advance. When they came out, the husband and wife also finished shopping, and the main thing was that there was nothing to see.

Although the home is large, the decoration is extremely simple, and it can be seen that it has not taken much thought. There is nothing to praise except for the large number of rooms. There are a lot of things that can be complained about, such as the color system, a whole dark color system, and there is no bright color at all. Even the bedding in several bedrooms was dark and felt too oppressive. And this furniture, too, is too simple and has no features at all. With such a big home, I didn't see a pot of green plants, so I was really not angry at all.

"How's it going, have you finished reading it?"

Su Mingyu's boxes were all pulled to the door, and this was the rhythm of leaving immediately.

"After reading it, Mingyu, let's take you to the airport."

Zhu Li said and looked at Zeng Xian.

Zeng Xian also said:

"yes, we'll send you there."

"No, I'll just drive myself. Now that you've finished reading, go back, the old man is still waiting for you to go back and make lunch. ”

Su Mingyu had already pulled the box and walked outside, and they had to follow out.

Probably realizing that his words were inappropriate, Su Mingyu put the box in the car and said to them:

"I'll invite you to come and sit down when I get back."

"Good!"

Julie laughed.

After seeing Su Mingyu's car go away, Zeng Xian called Su Daqiang,

"Hey, Dad, would you like to go home and eat at noon?"

"No, I'll eat out with a few old buddies, you don't have to worry about me."

The old buddies Su Daqiang said were those who played chess.

They are all empty nesters, and their children are not around, so it is not easy to find a few to spend time with them on weekdays. Usually they will eat some noodles or something at a nearby restaurant at noon, and eat breakfast and dinner at home.

"Okay, pay attention outside, and go home to rest when you're tired of playing."

After two sentences of instruction, he hung up the phone, and Zeng Xian said to Zhu Li:

"Let's have a good meal outside at noon!"

Julie thought for a moment and said:

"Why don't you go to my parents' place to eat at noon today, I haven't been back for a long time."

Zeng Xian thought it was okay, so he agreed.

Zhu Li called home in the car and said that they would go over for lunch at noon, and Zhu Li's parents were so happy.

The two bought a bottle of liquor and some supplements from the mall by the way, and the bottle of wine was opened by Zhu's father at the dinner table.

"Mingcheng, do you want some?"

Su Ming is quite good at drinking, but Zeng Xian can't.

"Dad, I'll forget it, I still have to drive!"

Dad Zhu is not the kind of person who is quite unreasonable,

"Yes, you can't drink while driving, so I'll do it myself."

Zeng Xian poured a glass of water and said:

"Dad, I'll replace wine with water, and I'll accompany you for one."

After a glass of wine, Zhu's father said to Zhu's mother:

"You go and take it out."

Zhu's mother got up and entered the room, Zeng Xian and Zhu Li didn't know what they meant.

After a while, Mama Zhu handled it from the room and put a bank card in front of them.

"We know that Ming Cheng has made a lot of money recently, which is nothing to you. But this is a little bit of our heart, and I still hope you will accept it. ”

"Mom and Dad, I really don't need to! These ······"

Zeng Xian said.

Dad Zhu raised his hand to stop him and said:

"Mingcheng, you listen to me. Lili is my daughter and the only child in our family, and your mother's only wish is for her to have a smooth life. You are a good boy, and we have seen your kindness to Lili all these years. At that time, you were an ordinary office worker, with the same income as Lili, and we also had some confidence. But what about now······"

Zeng Xian immediately understood what they meant, the old couple was worried that he would do something sorry for Zhu Li after he became a rich man, and wanted to use the money to buy him a promise and buy himself a peace of mind.

The old couple is also well-intentioned.

Zeng Xian said seriously:

"Mom and Dad, I know what you mean. Julie is such a good wife, how can I let her down? I took the money, and I will give it to Lili, and you can get it back at any time if you need it. ”

Julie was impressed. How lucky I am to be born in such a loving family, to have parents who love me so much, and to find such a good husband, I am a winner in life.

Coming out of Zhu's house, Zeng Xian thought of such a sentence and said it casually,

"Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans!"

But not all parents are like that.

When he returned home, it was already half of the afternoon, and Su Daqiang had not returned home yet. Zeng Xian called him and was relieved to learn that he was chatting with his friend over tea.

The husband and wife ran outside for a day, and when they got home, they collapsed into bed and rested for a while.

It was six o'clock when Zeng Xian woke up, and Zhu Li was no longer in bed.

"Husband, you're awake!"

Zeng Xian came to the living room and saw Zhu Li cooking in the kitchen.

"Wife, why didn't you wake me up?"

Zhu Li married into the Su family and didn't cook a few times in total, and Zeng Xian didn't know how her cooking skills were. However, looking at her methodical busywork, at least you can judge that she is not a kitchen novice.

"Seeing that you slept soundly, I couldn't bear to wake up. The dish is about to be ready, and you call Dad to come back for dinner. ”

"He hasn't come back yet?"

Zeng Xian took out his mobile phone and dialed Su Daqiang's phone,

"Dad, I'm back for dinner. Where are you, do you want me to pick you up? ”

"No need, I'm eating with my friends, I'll go back by myself after eating, not far from our community, you and Lili can eat by yourself."

This old man didn't know how to talk to his family when he was eating out, so he had to make a phone call.

"Okay, then you come back early, don't be too late."

Zhu Li finally cooked by herself, trying to do her daughter-in-law's filial piety and cook a meal for her father-in-law, but she missed it perfectly.

"Wife, let's eat it ourselves!"

Zeng Xian brought the dish to the table, and it smelled good.

"Does Dad have an opinion about us?"

Zhu Li felt that the old man would rather eat out than come back, perhaps a wordless act of resistance.

"You think too much, just because I watched him too closely before, and he just wanted to take the opportunity to enjoy his freedom."

Julie didn't quite understand, but she didn't want to delve into it either. The two of them are biological father and son, and they may have talked about it behind their backs. Since he doesn't say anything when he is a son, why should he talk too much to attract suspicion.

After all, it's not his biological father, and it's good to be able to do what she does.
