Lin Chengbu originally thought that Yuan Wu would set the meal time on Thursday, and he would have to go to the 18th on Friday, Saturday, or two days, so because of his habit of not wanting to deal with strangers, the time was set on a week that could no longer be postponed. Four is more reasonable.
But Yuan Wu did not choose Thursday, which surprised Lin Chengbu a little.
"Tuesday." Yuan Wu said.
"Why? I thought you would say Thursday." Lin Chengbu asked.
"It's too early to go." Yuan Wu's answer was straightforward.
"Then Monday, it's earlier." Lin Chengbu said.
"Can you not be so extreme," Yuan Wu glanced at him, "Don't you have a small meeting on Monday, and you don't have time to go shopping together..."
"Buying something?" Lin Chengbu was stunned, "I thought you didn't think about bringing something with you."
"Xiaohua, I think we have something to make clear," Yuan Wu walked up to him and pinched his chin, "What is my personality, it's not that I'm mentally retarded, nor that I was raised by monkeys. I don't understand, do you understand?"
"Understood." Lin Chengbu nodded.
"But I really don't know what to buy to go to your house." Yuan Wu said.
"I know." Lin Chengbu said with a smile.
The two of them were fine during the day on Tuesday. Lin Chengbu took Yuan Wu to the mall: "I'm so excited."
"... Your economy is not very good," Yuan Wu said, "I haven't been to the mall for a long time."
"It's funny, I'm a head chef who is going to be the boss of the branch soon," Lin Chengbu clicked, put his arm on Yuan Wu's shoulder, and took it down after two seconds, "How much shorter do you want? Centimeters are fine, it's not comfortable at all with arms like this."
"Why don't you kick your legs and work harder to grow a few centimeters." Yuan Wu said.
"I'm at the limit," Lin Chengbu counted with his fingers, "According to the formula given by experts to add, subtract, and divide the height of parents and then plus or minus five, I can grow to 178 at most, and now I have grown taller. already."
"Isn't it my own?" Yuan Wu said.
"Fuck," Lin Chengbu laughed, "do you dare to speak to my parents?"
"Dare." Yuan Wu said.
"Don't, don't, don't say anything," Lin Chengbu said with a smile, "middle-aged and elderly people really don't understand this kind of joke."
"Then can you still understand?" Yuan Wu glanced at him.
"... No, Yuan Wu," Lin Chengbu glared at him, "you are several years older than me, and you are over thirty. I never said that you are middle-aged and old, you are not finished with me, right?"
"Uncle, you've already called, and you're still so smooth," Yuan Wu said, "I don't have any objections... What should I buy?"
"Wine," Lin Chengbu said, "usually, when you see your parents, you buy some wine, nutritional supplements, etc."
"Then you should call Chengyu and go to him to get a few bottles of good wine." Yuan Wu said.
"He's full of foreign wine, no," Lin Chengbu said, "My dad and the others are not used to drinking it, so they need something like Maotai Wuliangye, some ginseng or some fish oil. "
Yuan Wu didn't say anything, just looked at him.
"What's the matter?" Lin Chengbu also looked at him, "The wine is for my dad, and the ginseng or something can be said to be for my mother, so it's taken care of."
"Oh," Yuan Wu smiled, "You quite understand."
Lin Chengbu smiled: "That's..."
"I used to send it often, right?" Yuan Wu said.
"Before... what?" Lin Chengbu was stunned, "Who am I sending it to?"
"Ask you, who are you giving it to?" Yuan Wu said, "Ex-girlfriend, ex-boyfriend's parents, etc., don't often come to give people something, right?"
"Fuck!" Lin Chengbu suppressed his voice, "Do you have any humanity! Everyone knows this about ordinary people! Only people like you who don't usually communicate with each other don't understand."
Yuan Wu laughed: "It's so nonchalant."
"Fuck you." Lin Chengbu said.
"What's going on now?" Yuan Wu said.
"I didn't tell you before, I'll tell you after I'm deceived," Lin Chengbu whispered close to his ear, "Now that I'm deceived, I'm going to reveal the truth."
"The original form? Heavenly Father?" Yuan Wu asked.
"... Shall we fight?" Lin Chengbu said.
According to Lin Chengbu's instructions, Yuan Wu bought two bottles of wine and two boxes of ginseng. He originally wanted to buy something else, but was stopped by Lin Chengbu: "It's almost there."
"Would you like to buy something for you?" Yuan Wu said.
"A watch?" Lin Chengbu glanced at him, "No."
Yuan Wu laughed, sighed after thinking about it, and sat down on the chair next to him: "Do you want to drink milk tea?"
"Drink." Lin Chengbu nodded.
Before he could sit down, Yuan Wu took money out of his wallet: "Go buy it yourself."
"I brought the money." Lin Chengbu said.
"It's fun, buy it," Yuan Wu shook the money in his hand, "Uncle will give you the money to buy milk tea, be good."
"... You're enjoying it," Lin Chengbu took the money, went to the milk tea shop nearby to buy two cups, and handed him the money he got back, "The money you found."
Yuan Wu smiled, took the money, stretched his legs after drinking the milk tea, and stretched his waist: "I think watches, clocks, are very magical things."
"How amazing?" Lin Chengbu asked.
"Look at the second hand, the minute hand, and the hour hand, and the three of them circle together," Yuan Wu said.
"But time has passed." Lin Chengbu said.
"When I was a child, I had a watch, Yuan Shen gave it to me, it didn't show the date or anything," Yuan Wu said, "I just watched it go, I watched a day, and I was thinking, is the time passed or stopped? already."
"Don't think about it blindly," Lin Chengbu said, "when you want to think about it, go to Jiang Chengyu."
"I just feel that time will not pass, that needle will go back no matter how it goes," Yuan Wu turned his head to look at him, "I want to say something in love, do you listen?"
"Fuck me?" Lin Chengbu was stunned for a while, and immediately squeezed the cup of milk tea to his side, "Listen."
"I used to think that time really wouldn't move forward, and I was very scared. I was afraid that I would always live in the days when my grandparents and grandma Yuan Shen were around," Yuan Wu lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea, biting the straw and saying, "Now I'm afraid that time will really move forward, we will quarrel, we will fight, we will grow old..."
"What's so scary about fighting and getting old and dying," Lin Chengbu said, "The key is that I'll be there until I die."
"Ah," Yuan Wu glanced at him, "I didn't tell you, I'll save you a collection of animal love stories."
Lin Chengbu took a sip of milk tea and laughed for a long time: "I want to sing."
"Singing will beat you." Yuan Wu said.
There is enough time after shopping, and they plan to go back to rest for a while.
As soon as he got into the car, Lin Chengbu's phone rang. He took the phone and glanced at it: "My sister, isn't she on a business trip..."
"And your sister tonight?" Yuan Wu asked.
"I don't know, I'll ask her," Lin Chengbu answered the phone, "Sister?"
"When are you two coming?" Lin Huiyu asked over there, "Mom said it was this afternoon, I just came back, and I'm still at the airport."
"...Why are you rushing back?" Lin Chengbu was stunned.
"What did you say? Am I your own sister?" Lin Huiyu said, "I must rush back. Your brother-in-law will go first, and I'll go back now."
"...Oh," Lin Chengbu responded, "We'll be home at about four or five."
"Okay." Lin Huiyu hung up the phone.
"My sister's family will also go in a while." Lin Chengbu looked at Yuan Wu and felt a little nervous. The two of them had always been prepared by the old couple at home.
"Then go buy something, does your sister have children? Buy some toys?" Yuan Wu said.
"Do you have anything... unhappy..." Lin Chengbu hesitated.
"I'm not upset, I just feel tired," Yuan Wu opened the door and got out of the car, "Go, go back to the mall."
"You don't need to talk, I'll do it." Lin Chengbu also got out of the car.
"Then your family will not only think that I am insane, but also suspect that I have a problem with my IQ." Yuan Wu said.
Lin Chengbu was stunned for a while, he didn't expect Yuan Wu to have guessed his mother's thoughts.
"I don't think you..." He caught up with Yuan Wu, "No..."
"I don't care," Yuan Wu glanced at him, "Really."
Lin Cheng believed that Yuan Wu had never cared about other people's opinions, but this time it was his parents, so he was still a little worried that Yuan Wu would be uncomfortable.
Back at the mall, they turned around for a long time and bought a set of English fairy tale books for Lin Huiyu's son.
"Do you really not buy toys?" Yuan Wu asked, "Your nephew is in the second grade of elementary school..."
"He is quite special and likes to read," Lin Chengbu said, "our family, me, my sister, and my brother-in-law are not good at reading, but my nephew likes to read, and went to some English training class. Yes, quite positive."
"That's alright," Yuan Wu looked at the book in his hand, "That's it... I still remember one thing, should I buy some more toys... "
"Giving a big head?" Lin Chengbu said immediately.
"Ah, yes," Yuan Wu glanced at him, "I went to see him a few years ago, he was in elementary school."
"Okay," Lin Chengbu smiled, "I guess I'll cry again when I see you."
"Ten yuan can solve it," Yuan Wu said, "It's fine."
After buying these things, the time was almost up, and it wasn't enough to go back again, so Lin Chengbu drove directly to his house.
"Do your family talk a lot?" Yuan Wu asked.
"My family is the least talkative," Lin Chengbu said, "For reference."
"You're talking less, do you mean at ordinary times, or when you're with me?" Yuan Wu asked.
"...when I was with you." Lin Chengbu said.
"Then your family talks a lot..." Yuan Wu leaned back in his chair and looked out the window, "Then will they ask and answer their own questions?"
Lin Chengbu listened to the music: "You just promise, and if they ask something inappropriate, you don't say anything, there is me."
"I think your parents should be pretty good," Yuan Wu turned to look at him, "raising a son who is so... easy to bully... Ah, it's not right, you are bullying, it means they always bully you... "
"Don't think about it blindly," Lin Chengbu reached out and ticked his face, "It's really nothing, I didn't encounter any difficulties when I came out of the closet. My parents are very good at talking."
"Yeah." Yuan Wu responded.
When the car drove downstairs, Lin Chengbu saw Lin Huiyu's car: "My brother-in-law has come."
"Oh." Yuan Wu got out of the car, took out his mask and put it on.
Lin Chengbu wanted to say what mask he was wearing when he entered the corridor immediately, but he didn't say anything. Although wearing a mask was Yuan Wu's habit, this habit was also due to lack of security. No matter how calm he was on the surface, he probably still felt in his heart. Not quite fit.
He took something out of the car and grabbed Yuan Wu's hand: "I don't have an elevator at my house, so I have to climb the stairs to the fourth floor."
"Yeah." Yuan Wu pinched the tip of his little finger.
On the fourth floor and still outside the door, Lin Chengbu heard the voice of his little nephew reciting English to his parents, very loud.
"Open the door." Lin Chengbu gently kicked the door twice with the tip of his shoe.
"Come on—" the little nephew replied immediately, and then the door opened soon, "Uncle!"
"Good," Lin Chengbu handed him the thing in his hand, "help me get it."
"Okay." The little nephew took the thing.
Several people in the room stood up. Mom, Dad, and brother-in-law looked at the door together.
At this moment, let alone Yuan Wu, even Lin Chengbu suddenly felt a huge pressure, and when he entered the room, his hands and feet were smooth.
"Where are the slippers?" Lin Chengbu glanced at his feet.
"Don't change it, it's too troublesome," Mom said, "step in, it's alright."
"Well," Lin Cheng stepped into the house and looked back at Yuan Wu, "This is Yuan Wu."
Yuan Wu walked in and pulled his mask.
"This is my mother." Lin Chengbu introduced him.
"Auntie." Yuan Wu smiled.
"This is my dad." Lin Chengbu continued to introduce.
"Uncle." Yuan Wu smiled again.
"This brother-in-law." Lin Chengbu pointed at his brother-in-law again.
"Brother-in-law." Yuan Wu continued to laugh.
After a few people responded, they looked at them together again, and my mother looked very excited, and took two steps forward: "Yuan Wu."
"Yeah." Yuan Wu nodded, probably a little embarrassed by his mother's stare, he pulled the mask that was pulled down and pulled it up again.
"Ah," Mom nodded as well, still staring at him, "Is it cold outside?"
"It's not cold." Yuan Wu said, pulling the mask up and back to its original position, covering most of his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.
"Mom," Lin Chengbu stood between them, feeling like this was going to continue, Yuan Wu was about to take out his sunglasses, "Can you sit and chat?"
"Oh, sit down," Mom nodded, then turned to go to the kitchen, "I made some fruit tea, drink some together, Xiaobu, you can help me."
"Yeah." Lin Chengbu put Yuan Wu's coat and his own coat aside, watched Yuan Wu sit down, and then entered the kitchen.
"What are you doing," Lin Chengbu picked up the pot of fruit tea and whispered to his mother, "I'm so embarrassed to stare at him."
"Can't you see it clearly," the mother whispered, "your sister said he was good-looking before."
"...Oh," Lin Chengbu was a little speechless, "do you think it looks good then?"
"You look pretty good, and he doesn't look older than you," Mom said. "Have I lied to you and lied about your age?"
"It's just a few years older than me, what's there to lie about? Besides, who would lie about their age?" Lin Chengbu turned around and walked out. He didn't want Yuan Wu, who was not used to interacting with strangers, to be alone. Facing my father and brother-in-law in the living room, "Don't stare at me anymore, you can stare at me when you are free. You haven't seen me so affectionately since you were a child."
"You talk more." Mom said behind her.
The atmosphere in the living room was still good, and Dad was looking at the wine they brought over: "This wine is good, I can buy it, I like to drink high."
"Lin Chengbu picked it up." Yuan Wu said.
"Oh." Dad smiled.
"This is good," my brother-in-law also looked at it, "How neat is this one..."
"Lin Chengbu picked it up." Yuan Wu said.
"I chose them all," Lin Chengbu put the fruit tea on the table, "he didn't know what our family lacked, so I chose them all."
"How can you be like this," Dad glanced at him, "When people buy things, you pick them, and they're expensive."
"He picked more expensive ones," Lin Chengbu smiled, sat beside Yuan Wu, separated him from his father, and waved to his nephew, "Come here, did you call Uncle Xiao Wu? There is a gift. Here's to you."
The little nephew walked up to Yuan Wu and said formally, "Hello, Uncle Xiao Wu, my name is Lin Yang."
After saying that, he bowed.
"Hello," Yuan Wu stretched out his hand, "Nice to meet you."
The little nephew's eyes lit up for a moment. There were probably not many adults who cooperated with him like this. He smiled excitedly and reached out and shook hands with Yuan Wu: "Nice to meet you too."
Lin Chengbu looked at Yuan Wu in surprise. Yuan Wu's communication with his father and brother-in-law was full of embarrassment, but his communication with Lin Yang was quite comfortable.
This is probably the credit of the big head
"Lin Yang and mother's surname," Lin Chengbu introduced to Yuan Wu in a low voice, "My brother-in-law's surname is Yang, and I plan to have a second child named Yang Lin."
"... creative." Yuan Wu smiled.
"Come on," Lin Chengbu took out the English fairy tale book, "Xueba, this is given to you by Uncle Xiaowu."
Lin Yang took the book in surprise: "Thank you, Uncle Xiaowu!"
"He just loves to read," Mom came out with a few cups and looked at Yuan Wu while pouring fruit tea, "You are a really suitable gift."
"Do you like Xueba?" Lin Chengbu asked before Yuan Wu spoke, he was afraid that Yuan Wu would say "Lin Chengbu picked it" for the third time.
"I like it! I like it so much!" Lin Yang jumped to Yuan Wu's side, "Uncle Xiao Wu, are you very good at English?"
"It's not great," Yuan Wu said. "If it's more than three words, I'll just say that."
Lin Yang laughed: "I'll teach you when I have time."
"Okay." Yuan Wu said.
"Then if I teach you English, can you teach me bartending?" Lin Yang asked, "My mother said you are a bartender."
Yuan Wu glanced at Lin Chengbu, and Lin Chengbu smiled: "Has your mother introduced you to it?"
"Well, my mother said that you would bring a friend over today. It's a bartender, and she told me to be polite." Lin Yang nodded and looked at Yuan Wu again, "Uncle Xiao Yuanwu, can you teach me?"
"Let's try it first." Yuan Wu took a peanut from the table.
Lin Chengbu knew how Yuan Wu was going to try it. For bartending, he had to look at hand-eye coordination, motor coordination, and reaction. Lin Yang was very good at reading and recognizing characters, and he could sit still when he learned things, but this Athletic ability... Lin Chengbu is too clear, no.
He originally thought that Yuan Wu would just deal with it casually, but he didn't expect Yuan Wu to be so serious. He had to give it a try. The grandson Lin Yang, the grandson of the all-powerful little genius in his mother's eyes, would definitely not pass.
But he had no time to remind Yuan Wu any more. Yuan Wu took the peanut and said, "I threw the peanut, you catch it."
"Okay." Lin Yang nodded.
Yuan Wu put the peanut between his fingers, and with a slight mistake, the peanut bounced up, and it bounced quite high.
Yuan Wu's movements were very handsome, but Lin Chengbu didn't care to appreciate it, because after Lin Yang raised his head and took a step forward, the peanut didn't land on his hand, but on his forehead.
