Chapter 23: Quarrels
The family was very embarrassed to finish eating, Su Daqiang was washing the dishes in the kitchen, and at this time he was not an old baby who wanted to drink hand-ground coffee.
The others also sat on the sofa with their own thoughts.
Su Mingzhe began to distribute gifts to everyone.
Picked up a set of imported cosmetics and handed it to Su's mother Zhao Meilan:
"Mom, this is the cosmetics I bought for you, I'll use this in the future, this is better!"
Zhao Meilan didn't react, so she took it and put it aside.
But Zhu Li on the side recognized it and said in surprise:
"Big brother, this set of cosmetics is worth thousands!"
Su Mingzhe just smiled and didn't speak.
Zhao Meilan hurriedly picked up the cosmetics to return them to Su Mingzhe, she was a little distressed about the money:
"Mingzhe, can you return this?"
Su Mingzhe hurriedly said: "You can't retreat, you can't retreat, you can use it!" ”
Then he picked up a fur he bought for his mother Zhao Meilan:
"This is a mink coat bought for you, wear this to keep warm in winter!"
"Why don't you put it on and try it on and see if it's the right size?"
After Su Mingzhe finished speaking, he motioned for his mother to stand up and put it on and take a look.
Filial piety to one's parents is also an emotional bond left over from the original.
Zhao Meilan looked at the fur and liked it very much, so she couldn't help but get up and stand up and take off her coat and put it on to try it on.
Just seeing Su Daqiang coming out of the kitchen after brushing the dishes, Zhao Meilan asked:
"How about you see my son buy me this dress?"
"Yes, it's good-looking!" Su Daqiang smiled reluctantly.
In fact, he was a little dissatisfied, and he thought that his eldest son had not prepared a gift for him.
Su Mingzhe also happened to take out the things he had prepared for his father at this time, some ginseng, deer antlers, and sea cucumbers, and said to Su Daqiang:
"Dad, this is a nutritional supplement for you, you just need to supplement your ears when you are sick!"
Originally, Su Daqiang was very happy when he heard the first half of the sentence, but he was a little unhappy when he heard his son say that he was sick with his ears.
There's no way around that, my wife's lie can only help Yuan by herself, and take what my eldest son handed over:
"Well, Mingzhe has a heart!"
Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li looked at their eldest brother expectantly, they felt that since they could buy such an expensive thing for their parents, they would definitely not be able to give them cheap.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Su Mingzhe also took out a gift for Zhu Li, a necklace that he specially bought at a jewelry store.
handed it to Julie, but changed the word:
"Brother and sister, this is your sister-in-law specially selected for you in the United States, let me bring it back and give it to you, she heard that you are about to have a birthday, and said that I asked you to bring you a birthday gift!"
Zhu Li is a little embarrassed, this necklace is not cheap when you look at the packaging, everyone remembers your birthday, you don't even know that people have daughters?
"Thank you, big brother, you also help me thank my sister-in-law!" Zhu Li took the gift very embarrassedly, and then couldn't help but glare at Su Mingcheng.
Su Mingcheng felt that he was going to sleep on the sofa today, and soon felt that something was wrong:
"Gone?"
Su Mingzhe held back a smile and said in a very surprised tone:
"It's gone!"
Su Mingcheng frowned: "What about mine?" ”
"What?" Su Mingzhe asked deliberately.
Su Mingcheng was a little dissatisfied: "Gift! ”
Su Mingzhe was not used to his problems, and said directly:
"I'm sorry, Mingcheng, my eldest brother has been too busy these days, I forgot to be busy, I'll make it up to you next time!"
Su Mingcheng's words sounded so familiar, and Zhu Li was even more embarrassed on the side, because this is what she just said.
"It's okay, no need!" Su Mingcheng gritted his teeth and said.
When Julie saw this, she kicked her husband, because this was the fault they had done.
Your own eldest brother gave birth to a child, and you didn't even make a phone call, and you still expect people to prepare gifts for you?
At this time, her mother Zhao Meilan said a few words, which made several people present angry:
"Mingzhe, you didn't prepare a gift for your uncle and them?"
"When you were a child, your uncle loved you the most!"
Hearing this, Su Mingzhe frowned, and originally wanted to save some face for his mother:
"Mom, I didn't buy it, my wife gave birth to a child and they didn't even make a care call, why should I buy them something?"
"Can't you spend too much money?"
"They're not my parents and brothers!"
"This ......" Zhao Meilan didn't know what to say.
Su Mingcheng and his wife wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and they felt that the eldest brother was not just talking about his uncle, but also a little bit about what they meant.
Su Daqiang saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward:
"Mingzhe, did you come back to contact Mingyu, I called her before and he didn't answer!"
"Dad, what are you mentioning her for, she doesn't think she is the Su family anymore, why did you ask her to come back!"
As soon as Su Mingcheng heard the name Su Mingyu, he was a little angry, as if the two were not brother and sister, but enemies.
Zhao Meilan was also a little unhappy when she heard her husband mention her daughter.
Su Mingzhe also sincerely said to his mother Zhao Meilan:
"Mom, you and Dad should pay attention to your body, especially when you play mahjong, you must pay attention to rest!"
What Su Mingzhe said was sincere, after all, he inherited the memory of the original body, and this can be regarded as his mother.
He also hopes that Zhao Meilan can live for a while longer, not die on the mahjong table, and it is best to live a long life.
When Zhao Meilan heard that her son cared about herself, she also agreed: "Mom knows, don't worry!" ”
Zhao Meilan remembered one more thing, got up and said to Su Mingzhe:
"Mingzhe, you and your mother come over for a while!"
Su Mingzhe had already guessed what his mother Zhao Meilan was going to say.
Zhao Meilan took her son to the bedroom inside:
"Mingzhe, looking at the gift you bought today, there should be no shortage of money, right?"
Su Mingzhe sneered in his heart, you haven't forgotten your brother at this time, your sister is really good enough, but as a husband and mother, she may be a little incompetent.
So he sold miserably:
"Mom, I'll tell you directly, it's all about the money borrowed by my friend."
"If I wasn't worried about my father's condition, I wouldn't be able to come back, and it would cost a lot of money to come and go!"
"It just so happened that you said that Dad's ears are a Chinese medicine doctor, so it shouldn't cost much, right?"
"If you have spare money at home, can you lend me some, and I'll pay back my friend's first, after all, it's interest?"
Zhao Meilan didn't suspect that her son Su Mingzhe was lying, after all, the eldest son has always been very filial, and it is normal to borrow money to buy gifts for himself and his father.
But thinking that his brother had been calling him, he still spoke to his son:
"Mingzhe, if you are developed in the future, you must help your uncle and them, they are not easy!"
Su Mingzhe pretended to be very dissatisfied:
"Mom, when it comes to money, why is it still involved in my uncle!"
Zhao Meilan was a little embarrassed, but now she can only tell the truth:
"Mingzhe, you heard my mother tell you that before Mingcheng got married, our family's money was used to buy a house for him"
Su Mingzhe's eyes widened, and he said loudly:
"Mom, is Su Mingcheng your son? I, Su Mingzhe, am not? ”
"When he gets married, you buy him a house, and you don't give me a penny when I get married, but I give you $5,000 a year!"
Zhao Meilan was a little anxious, and tears were about to flow out:
"Mingzhe, Mom didn't mean that, it's just that Mingcheng doesn't have the ability to you, so Mom can only help him more!"
Before Su Mingzhe could speak, Su Mingcheng, who was in the living room of the old house without soundproofing, vaguely heard the eldest brother mention his name, thinking that something had happened, so he walked to the bedroom to take a look.
When he opened the door, he saw his mother crying and explaining something to his eldest brother, and he thought that his mother had been bullied.
