Speaking of myocardial infarction, my heart is not very healthy now. Fortunately, I don’t drink alcohol, smoke, take drugs, and watch Chinese football, so I won’t suffer the same fate as the shoe repairman’s late father.
I gently opened the door and found that Xiaoqin's bedroom was still the same as my previous impression: various fairy tale-style furniture, star stickers all over the wall, a photo of me on the dressing table, and floating on the ceiling, which had shrunk. A smaller balloon—I bought it for Xiaoqin when we were watching a movie.
"Humph," Aunt Ren said with a nonchalant attitude, "Anyway, I'm busy with work and often don't have time to cook. If you haven't practiced your cooking skills, are you still waiting for Xiaoqin to cook for you?"
"Go practice your cooking skills!"
As a result we failed.
"Eh? Will you agree to me once I practice my cooking skills?" Dad asked in a low voice. I knew that the "promise" he meant was a proposal.
"Now this childhood sweetheart can still go to classmate Ye Lin's house for dinner. Is it because she is a childhood sweetheart that she has such a right?" Xiaoqin tried to force herself to smile, but the tears flowed more and more. "Anyway, I'm not doing this because I'm sad. You’re crying! These must be tears of joy! Student Ye Lin, don’t think too much about it!”
"Don't eat that," I regretfully picked up a chopstick from the bean stew. "This dish is not bad, at least it's cooked. You can eat some of this."
"Xiaoqin, why are you looking again..." My words stopped as soon as I left my mouth, because I found that Xiaoqin's face was covered with tears when she raised her face from behind the cartoon.
I decided not to let the shoe repairman see my dad and I.
"Eh? Mom, why did you let me go to classmate Ye Lin's house for dinner?" Xiaoqin was happy and puzzled, "When we were neighbors, I never had dinner at Uncle Ye's house, but now I suddenly do it so much Excuse me… "
Dad nodded hurriedly: "I paid it, I paid it! Those meal expenses are enough for Xiaoqin to come to my house and eat for a lifetime!"
As for the Chinese men's football team reaching the top 16 of the World Cup... Grandpa, why don't I tell you more about dad's remarriage? Aunt Ren is different from Ai Shuqiao. Although she has a bit of a temper, she is definitely a good person...
Not only will the number of visits increase in the future? Maybe we will live together as adopted brothers and sisters in the future! Maybe we will legally live together soon, do you know
I recall that before my grandfather died, he grabbed my father's hand and made two last wishes. One was that he would remarry as soon as possible, and the other was that he hoped that one day the men's football team could reach the top 16 of the World Cup. Burn the video to him.
"Uncle Ye, you... you're back," Xiaoqin was not used to changing her address from honorifics to others. When she saw me behind her father, her eyes lit up.
Although Huo Zhenbang lost Aunt Ren because of his romantic nature and did not deserve sympathy, I still feel that he is quite miserable now.
Aunt Ren waved her hand: "I didn't agree to anything. I just said that if you practice your cooking skills well, I don't rule out the possibility that I will ask you to cook more meals. Sometimes I am too busy with work to come back, so I can also ask Xiaoqin to go to your house. Let’s have dinner, your home is closer to No. 28 Middle School anyway.”
After hearing the roar of the shoe repair uncle in the hut, I suddenly thought: Xiaoqin's biological father, Huo Zhenbang's informant who stayed in Dongshan City from the Triad, was the shoe repair uncle!
"I heard that you have been under the doctor's observation for a long time," Aunt Ren looked at me and said, "Can you lift the vegetables? If you can't, just go to the sofa to rest with Xiaoqin and let your dad prepare dinner alone. ."
"Tch, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!" Aunt Ren said disdainfully, "You can just go! Anyway, I paid for the meal!"
Not surprisingly, it was another shojo manga, so I frowned slightly.
The shoe repair man who once stole information from foreign embassies is now playing the role of a spy. He is really overqualified! No wonder the shoe repairman was so depressed that he vented his anger by cursing Chinese football!
Xiaoqin was wearing a pullover and pencil pants, lying on the bed with her back to me. The reason she wasn't wearing a skirt was probably because her period was coming and she was worried about catching cold.
When Dad got up to wash the dishes, Aunt Ren said as she passed by Dad.
"This is how good your cooking skills are! This is the kind of food you usually eat!"
"Don't worry, Aunt Ren, I'm in good health!" I bent one arm to show Aunt Ren my bulging biceps to show that I was in excellent condition.
In order to prevent my father from being alone, of course I cooked dinner with him (Xiao Qin wanted to help but Aunt Ren refused).
Dad and Aunt Ren were immediately speechless, because what they were discussing was not about you and us being together, but about them being together.
Then he looked at my dad with a stern look and asked, "Tell me, have I paid for the meal?"
Therefore, although Huo Zhenbang did not strongly object to Xiaoqin's choice of me, his attitude towards me was quite yin and yang, as if he was constantly testing me.
"What's wrong with Xiaoqin?" Dad scratched his head and asked, "Is the food I cooked so bad? Did Xiaoqin feel bad when she heard that she was coming to my place for dinner?"
Since Dad and Aunt Ren never knew that I once upgraded Xiaoqin to my girlfriend, they naturally didn't know that now I had demoted Xiaoqin back to my childhood sweetheart.
"Yeah." Xiaoqin's voice was slightly hoarse.
However, despite the verbal blaming, the tone of his voice contained the underlying meaning of "your cooking is so terrible, there should be someone to help you cook."
It turns out that shoe repairman, after you resigned from the National Security Agency, you went to join the underworld! At least he spent some time in the underworld before his shoe repair business got on the right track! What did Huo Zhenbang ask you to do? Are you being asked to eavesdrop on the annual development meetings of other underworlds
After my father and I went upstairs with our vegetable bags, it was Xiaoqin who opened the door for us.
Because my father and I were poor cooks, Aunt Ren was only half-full, and ended up using the soy products in the refrigerator to eat a full bowl of rice.
Dad was overjoyed: "Hongli, you agreed..."
So dad was left alone to wash the dishes (Aunt Ren was watching), and I knocked softly on Xiaoqin's bedroom door.
I felt that Xiaoqin subconsciously wanted to throw herself into my arms and hold me together, but she tried her best to control her impulse and finally just said:
"I-I was just so moved by reading the comics!" Xiaoqin tried her best to explain to me while wiping her tears, "It has nothing to do with classmate Ye Lin demoting me to a childhood sweetheart!"
Looking at the beans and meat that I put in the bowl, Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, and then she ate it flattered.
"You, do you agree? Do you agree that classmate Ye Lin and I will be together?"
Xiaoqin's little face turned red all of a sudden, and she looked up at my dad and her mother in disbelief.
I had already known about it, so I ate the noodles. In a hurry, I challenged myself to try the shrimp, greens and stir-fried three shredded vegetables. In the end, my dish was neither fish nor fowl, and Aunt Ren complained about it for a while at the dinner table.
Although Huo Zhenbang contracted AIDS and temporarily gave up the idea of remarrying Aunt Ren, there was no guarantee that he would support Aunt Ren's remarriage.
"Xiao Lin, if your grandpa had watched less men's football games, he might still be alive now!"
Xiaoqin's joy only lasted for a few seconds. She quickly lowered her head and murmured: "But I am no longer..."
"The cooking made by classmate Ye Lin and Uncle Ye is already delicious." Xiao Qin helped us put in a good word, and she also tried her best to eat the half-cooked vegetarian stir-fried three shredded noodles.
So because I didn’t want the shoe repairman to place a bug, and I didn’t want Huo Zhenbang’s condition to get worse after hearing the latest developments here, I didn’t let my dad have a chance to see the shoe repairman, even though my dad was very fond of criticizing Chinese football. The topics have a common language, so I won’t stop you from scolding them together.
As a father, he always has complicated feelings about his daughter having a boyfriend or getting married.
Even without Aunt Ren's burning eyes, I still felt it was my responsibility to comfort Xiaoqin.
Ah, this scene is so warm, quite like a warm scene of a family having a meal!
Grandpa, my grandson can now proudly inform you: There are quite a few clues about dad’s remarriage! We are buying groceries now just to make dinner for my dad’s wedding partner!
Xiaoqin also wanted to clean up the dishes, but I stopped her. She heard the last half of Aunt Ren's words.
His eyes were lowered and his toes were hooked inward. In fact, he felt extremely happy.
That’s better than the father who repairs shoes! I remember that my father, who was a shoe repairman, had a myocardial infarction and died immediately after watching a World Cup budget match of the national football team! It’s not an exaggeration to say that the shoe repairman and the Chinese men’s football team have a grudge against their father!
I clearly remember that Xiaoqin said that the shoe repairman came to "us" when he was desperate, and Aunt Ren didn't know anything about the shoe repairman, so Xiaoqin covered up the close relationship between him and the shoe repairman. Relationship is like covering up his secret communication with Huo Zhenbang.
Well, now, Huo Zhenbang, who originally felt helpless that "sooner or later, his daughter will belong to someone else," would be super depressed if he found out through the shoe repairman that his ex-wife would also become someone else's wife!
"Classmate Ye Lin finally came to our house again..."
"Don't worry, there will be more in the future." I said.
In addition, I have directly removed the honorific title for Aunt Ren. If it is very likely that we will live in the same house in the future, then why are "you" coming and "you" going
"Xiaoqin, can I come in?"
Suddenly I realized that I haven't been to Xiaoqin's house for a long time. It seems that I haven't been here since that time when it was almost knocked down.
When my father and I were carrying the dishes to the kitchen, Aunt Ren came out of the room.
Holding back the tears, he quietly walked into his bedroom, not knowing what to do.
I closed the door and walked over cautiously, and finally found Xiaoqin lying on her stomach reading comics.
Regardless of whether the shoe repairman is a real member of the Triad or not, he always has some connections with Huo Zhenbang and others, so it is natural that he was ordered to stay in Dongshan City to act as an informant and monitor whether Xiao Qin was bullied by me. matter.
I will definitely have the thought that the two most important women in my life have been accepted by our father and son!
