Chapter 54, Birthday Celebration (Seeking Follow-up)
Back to the hall.
Lu An asked a little uneasily: "Sister Qingchi, I'm not at home, this little white won't tear and bite things, right?" ”
Meng Qingchi said: "No, this dog has been specially trained, and he likes to catch mice and chase small animals to play, otherwise my sister will bring you a local dog." ”
"Cheng, listen to you."
The words of the sister in front of him made him feel inexplicably at ease, and he immediately stopped worrying.
Meng Qingchi looked at the sky outside, looked at his watch again, and ordered, "You go take a bath, change your clothes, and go home with your sister." ”
Lu Angang put down the book, turned his head and asked, "Are you still leaving tonight?" ”
Meng Qingchi nodded lightly: "There are guests at home." ”
Lu An looked embarrassed: "But I haven't bought a birthday gift for the old man yet?" ”
Meng Qingchi smiled knowingly: "You can just go, but you will see something outside when you buy things." ”
Understood, that's why she's going to take herself over tonight.
After all, tomorrow someone will have a valuable gift, and he will be cold with his empty hands or what he took out, for fear that he will feel faceless.
After taking a shower and cleaning up, Lu An finally bought two bottles of wine at the department store, which was not worth the price, it was locally brewed soju, and Mr. Meng liked to drink this sip on weekdays.
Then I bought two packets of sugar, one packet of white sugar and one packet of marshmallows.
This gummy is also the old man's favorite snack, and when he is older, it is soft and glutinous.
There are not many gifts, but they are very desirable. In his previous life, every time he brought these two things over, people were very happy, and he was also an old experience.
Seeing that he insisted on doing so, Meng Qingchi persuaded him once and stopped stopping him. She knows that Xiao An has grown up again, has self-esteem, and loves face.
The Meng family has three residences, one is the hometown of Qianzhen, and occasionally goes back for the New Year.
One is the county seat below, where Meng Zhenhai works.
The third is in the family building of the Municipal People's Hospital, vice president Li Meng and eldest daughter Meng Qingchi work in the hospital and have been assigned a house, and a large family lives here on weekdays.
Walk along Taohuaping Street to the end, turn left past the Municipal People's Hospital, enter a dead end, fall to the bottom of a courtyard, old and thick brick small house, two stories high, the door is painted and tiled, and a small red sign is pasted.
Above is the house number: 10
This small bungalow is very generous, much more advanced than the No. 9 house number of Guifei Lane, and I smelled the smell of meat as soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
Lu An's nose sniffed, and the aroma of the meat was mixed with cinnamon gossip and red dates.
Seeing this, Meng Qingchi, who was walking next to him, said, "Before I go out, grandma is preparing Dongpo meat, which is cooked, and I will bring you a bowl to taste first." ”
Hey, you guessed it right.
I wanted to refuse, but when I thought it was meat, forget it, I can't get along with anyone.
Thinking like this, he didn't withdraw from this body that was about to move, and he was convinced, why did he love it so much?
When I entered the door, I saw Mr. Meng playing chess with others.
The opponent was a middle-aged man with a mediocre appearance, but the high bridge of the nose and the spectacle lenses thicker than the bottom of a beer bottle were impressive.
And there was another person next to him, Uncle Meng was holding a pot of tea and watching.
Hearing a movement at the door, the three people playing chess looked at it together.
"Grandpa, play chess."
Lu An walked in with his luggage, his face was full of smiles, and he was very familiar.
Seeing this rare guest who hadn't come to the door for more than two years, before the two Meng family had time to talk, a head immediately poked out of the kitchen, and then quickly rushed over.
"Yo, whose handsome descendant is this?" When I saw Li Meng pulling Lu An, he looked at it, half blamed and half ridiculed:
"Looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally to Pan, I told the old man at noon today, if you don't come tonight, I will go to Guifei Lane tomorrow to lead you with a rope."
In the face of this Aunt Meng, who often plays cards out of common sense, Lu An was embarrassed and couldn't bear it:
"Aunt Meng, isn't this coming, give me a face, we won't need the rope, put it aside and see it, it's not easy to find a daughter-in-law in the future."
This witty remark made the old men present laugh.
Seeing that he was not as taciturn as before, Li Meng was very pleased, pulled him to sit down, and gave him a cup of hot tea:
"Yes, it has changed a lot, and your mother would be very happy if she knew about it."
Taking a sip of tea, Lu An couldn't ignore the others, and hurriedly greeted: "Uncle Meng." ”
Uncle Meng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and then introduced the middle-aged man with glasses: "This is Uncle Chen, working in the university. ”
Thinking about it, this is the guest in Sister Qingchi's mouth, it seems that she has met with each other in her previous life, but she has never spoken, and she has not interacted.
Lu An shouted, "Uncle Chen." ”
"Eh, hello." Chen Weiyong's mind was all on the chess that had lost the upper hand, and he just nodded politely as a return gift.
Uncle Meng said: "Wait a minute, you will accompany the old man to play two games, his old man is very fierce today, and neither I nor your Uncle Chen are opponents." ”
Lu An wanted to refuse, tomorrow's 70th birthday, can't be disappointed.
But if you let it yourself, it's too boring.
After all, the Meng family all know that the deceased father grabbed himself as a sparring partner at the age of 5, which can be described as a small person but an old chess player, and the old man did not survive 30 rounds in his own hands in the past.
Three minutes later, Uncle Chen, who worked at the university, was full of frustration and abandoned his son and surrendered.
The old man took a sip of tea and shouted to Lu An: "Lu boy, come, kill you today without leaving a piece of armor." ”
Lu An said: "Grandpa, let's discuss, how about accompanying you the day after tomorrow?" ”
The old man heard his words, and was very stubborn: "Just tonight." ”
Saying that, the old man was afraid that he would not come, so he had already started to play chess.
If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, and if you don't see the Yellow River, you won't give up, what a fucking shame! It's a good 70th birthday, but you have to be abused, Lu An thought in her heart and sat down.
In the first game, the center gun begins.
After 15 rounds, Lu An looked at Uncle Meng and asked with his eyes: Do you want to let it? Otherwise, the old man will be warped in a few rounds.
Uncle Meng looked at his nose and nose and pretended not to see it.
Instead, Chen Weiyong looked at Lu An, then at the chess game, and fell into deep thought.
Sure enough, in the 21st round, the old man who was still alive just now was silent.
Put down the chess, reflect for a minute, and shout: "Come again." ”
The second set starts in a different way, getting on the horse and walking the car.
After 18 rounds, Lu An looked at Uncle Meng again, as if asking: Will this game be let go?
