085 Fate's birthday present
After experiencing a series of incidents, Lin Youxi was finally willing to talk to her father about the continuation of the strings, although Youxi still couldn't accept calling Aunt Liang her mother, but she still supported her father and Aunt Liang to be together.
And after getting their daughter's consent, Dad Lin and Aunt Liang received the certificate in the spring of 09. They set up a sumptuous feast at home, and specially invited Mei Fang and Xia Yuan's families to have dinner together, and even the Xia family couple, Xia Xun and Teacher Yu, who don't communicate much with Dad Lin on weekdays, also came to participate this time.
This is the first complete meeting of the three families, 6 adults and 4 children eat around a table, as a guest Lin Youxi is very busy this day, serving tea and pouring water and placing dishes and chopsticks, her family has always been cold and lonely since she can remember, even she always goes to Mei Fang's house to eat, it is the first time that it is so lively.
Mei Fang rarely saw the side of Xia Xun, the father of fate, who dealt with ordinary people, he seemed very approachable, and praised Aunt Liang's cooking skills.
"Sister Liang, your skills are really good, they can catch up with the level of the chef of the hotel I opened before."
"Dad won the award, but it wasn't my credit alone, Youxi also helped me make a few dishes...... Like this braised eggplant, she actually made it. ”
"Is it so powerful? It turns out that you not only have a top academic performance, but also such cooking skills. ”
Lin Youxi was very embarrassed about Xia Xun's praise, "Actually, I learned the craft from Aunt Mei, and Aunt Liang also guided me later......"
Lin Youxi's gaze finally fell on Xia Yuan, who was looking at her with his cheeks in his hands, "Actually, Yuanyuan is also very good at cooking!" ”
"Yes, don't hurt me!"
Xia Yuan shook his head helplessly on the side, "At most, I'm better than Ah Fang and my mother's cooking...... Nothing else. ”
Teacher Yu likes to make some bells and whistles, but the taste is not very good, and now she is compared to the two mothers, and she is also counted down by her daughter, and she looks a little unbearable on her face.
"You kid...... How can you say that about mom? ”
"That is to say, you weren't like this before, you always said that you liked your mother's dishes the most, didn't you?"
"That's limited to a few types of Coke wings! And Dad, you used to run a hotel, don't you know best in your heart whether Mom is good or not? It's only when dad spoils mom that he will say such things. ”
"Hahaha......"
The adults burst into laughter because of Xia Yuan's speech, and Mei Lijun laughed the most exaggerated and innocent, and then was pinched by his wife Xiang Xiaoxia.
Mei Fang listened to the adults chatting and eating melons, while stuffing his head and picking up the rice, letting his sister Mei Ya take the fried chicken leg away from her bowl and scoop the green vegetables and tofu that she didn't eat into the bowl.
Through the fragmentary dialogue information of the adults and some information told by Youxi, Mei Fang learned that the aunt named Liang Meijuan originally had an unhappy marriage, because of the infertility caused by the miscarriage, she was bullied in her ex-husband's house, and later because her husband had an affair, and finally chose to leave the house because she couldn't bear it.
Although she has experienced the hardships of life, she still faces life with a smile. Aunt Liang gives people a very gentle and considerate feeling.
She doesn't usually talk a lot, but she can be warm and caring for Lin Youxi.
However, according to Youxi, she will also keep a delicate distance from Lin Youxi.
For example, she never entered Lin Youxi's room to touch her things without her permission, and the photos of Youxi and her parents and family in the early years are still hanging in the center of the living room.
It was also in this process of maintaining a distance but respecting each other that Lin Youxi and Liang Meijuan gradually began to talk and became acquainted.
After becoming a family member with Lin Youxi, she also began to ride the electric car that Lin Youxi gave to her father before, because she worked in the logistics commissary of Baimei No. 1 Middle School, Baimei No. 1 Middle School and Experimental Middle School are not far away, so she will ride Lin Youxi to school in the morning and then go to work.
Such warm and dull days went on like this.
When spring arrives, a small central town like Baimei County doesn't have much of a warm day, and the sound of cicadas begins to echo with the gradually rising temperatures.
This is the dalen season when "I had a cold in that corner", and the female students are the happiest thing to have a Bubu Gao I6 blue and white porcelain music mobile phone, showing their position at the forefront of fashion trends and outstanding taste.
And the classmates around Mei Fang began to have their own mobile phones, of course, most of them used their older brothers and sisters, or mobile phones that their parents did not use after retiring, even so they were able to be happy about it.
Boys use their mobile phones to download Java's last series of development games on the Symbian system button machine, at the intersection of the 2G and 3G era, this generation of mobile games are all relying on data fees and SMS payment to make money, and the mainstream on the market are some independent stand-alone works with little content.
The girls are keen on taking pictures, videos, listening to songs, watching dramas, comics and other hobbies, and mobile penguins allow them to save the cost of text messages and summon her little sisters to go shopping together anytime and anywhere.
However, the three protagonists of our story seem to be disconnected from this rapidly changing and evolving world, and they are still used to meeting each other in a door-to-door way.
This time, Mei Fang was worried about Xia Yuan's birthday gift.
He promised Xia Yuan that he would give her a special birthday gift this year.
Xia Yuan's tutor is very strict, and she and her mother have made an appointment to go to high school before they can touch their mobile phones, so Mei Fang can only dispel the idea of sending Xia Yuan's blue and white porcelain.
As for electronic products such as MP3MP4 digital cameras, there is no shortage of anything for the fate of money, and she may not necessarily accept them.
But if it's the jewelry, dolls, mugs that girls like, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi have already sent them over and over again a few years ago.
"So, Ah Fang, haven't you thought about what gift to give to Yuanyuan yet?"
"If it were that simple, would you think I'd have such an expression?" Mei Fang held his cheeks and looked helplessly at Lin Youxi, who was stretching his waist, "So what is the gift you gave?" ”
Lin Youxi smiled slightly, took off the cuffs of his sleeves, and showed Mei Fang his bracelet.
"Look, it's this."
Lin Youxi showed Mei Fang a shiny bracelet.
"Bracelets again? You've given each other a lot of bracelets, right? But why did you put on the gift you gave to yourself? ”
"Hmph."
Lin Youxi smiled slightly, "I gave a pair of bracelets." ”
"A couple?"
Lin Youxi showed Mei Fang the word "Yuan" engraved on the silver heart-shaped jewelry on the bracelet, and Mei Fang suddenly realized:
"Is there a bracelet with your name engraved on it?"
"Correct." Lin Youxi nodded.
"Girls are so good, they are accompanied by fate...... This birthday present from you is truly significant. ”
Mei Fang nodded, "Is your pair of bracelets custom-made by the boutique owner?" What kind of store is it, so good. ”
Lin Youxi suddenly cast a disgusted gaze at Mei Fang, "You don't want to send a bracelet to Yuanyuan like this, do you?" ”
"Can't you?" Mei Fang squinted his eyes and smiled slightly.
"Of course not!"
Lin Youxi pinched Mei Fang angrily, "Then fate will blame me for teaching you how to do things...... You give me to think for myself! ”
