"Yo yo yo, what does this smell like? It stinks so much?"
Before I reached the door of Xu Meng's courtyard, I heard a strange voice coming from the corner.
This voice is really familiar to Chen Muyu.
Beside the rockery at the corner, leaning on a carefree man, Xu Chuan.
There is a woman standing next to Xu Chuan. She is wearing a white down jacket. She is quite beautiful. She behaves intimately with him. She may be his girlfriend.
Next to the rockery is a pond. There are two old men fishing by the pond. Xu Chuan and the woman are watching the fishing.
Fishing on a snowy day is really leisurely and elegant.
Xu Chuan, who was far away, saw Chen Muyu coming. He and Chen Muyu had never dealt with each other before, so of course they were getting angry now.
When the woman next to her heard what Xu Chuan said, she really thought something stunk, and she quickly sniffed it from side to side.
"cousin!"
Xu Meng glared at Xu Chuan and told him to restrain himself. Even a fool could tell that his words were directed at Chen Muyu.
“Oh, the rag pickers are here, no wonder it smells so bad!”
Xu Chuan seemed to have just seen Chen Muyu at this moment, and quickly slapped his nose again, his face full of disgust.
Converge? It’s strange that he can restrain himself!
“Oh, what a coincidence, my cousin is here too?” Chen Muyu walked over with a smile.
Xu Chuan rolled his eyes at Chen Muyu and said, "Jiajia, don't you smell the stink?"
The woman next to her, named Jiajia, felt a little embarrassed when she heard what Xu Chuan said. Xu Chuan was clearly making trouble, and she didn't dare to follow him, so she just smiled awkwardly.
"What's the smell?" Chen Muyu smiled indifferently, "Cousin, don't your neck be too short, can you smell the smell in your stomach?"
"you……"
When Xu Chuan heard this, his face instantly turned green. The word neck was too sensitive for him.
“Ogawa, don’t be rude!”
Xu Chuan was about to have a seizure when Xu Sihai's voice came from behind.
This noise has scared away the fish, so why bother fishing?
Xu Sihai put down his fishing rod and walked over with a smile.
In front of Xu Sihai, Xu Chuan did not dare to have an attack. He shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.
Chen Muyu followed Xu Meng and called him uncle.
Another uncle who looked to be in his fifties also came over. Xu Meng called out dad, and then poked Chen Muyu in the waist.
Chen Muyu quickly called out to his uncle and handed over a bunch of supplements in his hand.
My father-in-law looks a little younger than Xu Sihai, and he is not as fat as Xu Sihai. He is a pretty handsome little old man.
As the saying goes, handsome men attract each other, and Chen Muyu’s image is not bad. Xu Sifeng had seen Chen Muyu’s photos from Xu Meng before, but now that he has seen the real person, overall, he is quite satisfied.
After exchanging a few words of greeting, Xu Sifeng led Chen Muyu and Xu Meng into the courtyard of his home. The courtyard was very lively, with three aunts, six women, and twenty people.
The atmosphere was very joyful. Xu Sifeng led Chen Muyu and called them one by one. It was not embarrassing. We always have to pass this test in life.
Relatives and friends are enthusiastic. I can only say that everyone is satisfied with you. If they really dislike you, how can they give you a smile?
After recognizing the relatives, I met Xu Meng’s mother, Du Fangfang.
Xu Meng’s grandparents are also there, as well as his second aunt Du Lili and his younger aunt Du Feifei, all of whom they have met before.
The family gathered around the stove and chatted happily.
Chen Muyu did not expect that today would be such a big battle, especially for someone like Du Feifei who loved to make some jokes and pulled Chen Muyu to chat about various things, which made Chen Muyu feel unbearable.
“Xiaoyu, let’s talk about something!”
After a while, Xu Sihai walked over with a smile and relieved Chen Muyu.
Chen Muyu quickly apologized and left with Xu Sihai.
…
In the study.
Xu Sifeng was also there, and Xu Chuan was also there. Chen Muyu was a little embarrassed when he saw the battle, what were he talking about? About the conflict between himself and Xu Chuan? Or about Xu Meng?
“Come on, come on, Xiaoyu, uncle has something here for you to see!”
Xu Sifeng waved to him, turned around, opened the safe in the corner, and took out a wooden box from inside.
The red-painted wooden box was placed lightly on the table. Judging from the sound, it shouldn't be heavy.
Chen Muyu was a little dazed.
Xu Sihai said, "Your uncle picked it up at the toy market a few days ago. I told him it was of no value, but he didn't believe it. Show it to him to make him give up!"
Hearing what Xu Sihai said, Chen Muyu couldn't laugh or cry. He thought to himself, old man, aren't you posing a problem for me? How can I compare with your eyesight? You said it's worthless, why do I still need to see it?
If I follow you and say it’s worthless, that will offend my future father-in-law. But if I say it’s valuable without conscience, wouldn’t that create a dishonest impression?
Chen Muyu looked at Xu Sifeng and thought that it was probably his father-in-law who was giving him exam questions!
But no matter what, I read something first and then talk about it. At worst, I won’t be able to understand a sentence and I’ll just deal with it.
“I don’t know anything about antiques, but I fell in love with it at a glance. I always thought it would be a good thing!” Xu Sifeng said, took out a key, and opened the key on the small wooden box.
“My uncle said it’s useless. Second uncle, why are you still struggling? How can your eyesight be comparable to that of my uncle?” Xu Chuan habitually booed.
“If you don’t speak, no one will think you are dumb!”
Xu Sifeng glared at Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan curled his lips. At several uncles' houses and outside of Xu Sihai's place, Xu Chuan was used to being both big and small.
The box was opened and Xu Sifeng took out the contents.
Chen Muyu took a look and saw that they were a pair of simple glazed lamps in the shape of lanterns. However, the craftsmanship was very modern. In fact, you didn’t even need to look at them. They were just ordinary handicrafts.
Xu Sifeng, on the other hand, was very attracted to the pair of glazed lanterns. He patted the ashes on his hands and admired them first before looking up at Chen Muyu and said, "Come on, Xiaoyu, come and take a look!"
This is really a problem for yourself, just like your girlfriend asking you, she and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who do you save first?
You say it is a good thing, but to put it bluntly, it is a lie and dishonest. If you say it is just a handicraft, then you are questioning my father-in-law's vision.
Of course, Chen Muyu can say that he can’t understand it, but you can’t understand such an obvious handicraft? The young man is a bit hypocritical!
“Second uncle, is this the thing? I know this thing!”
Just when Chen Muyu didn’t know what to say, Xu Chuan suddenly spoke next to him.
It's just two glass lamps, he can't see it.
“Oh? Do you know him?”
Xu Sifeng looked up at Xu Chuan.
“Second uncle, don’t tell me, you’ve never seen this thing before?” Xu Chuan said with a speechless expression, “Aren’t these wall lamps? Wall lamps hanging on the wall, two old wall lamps!”
