Back in Zhongzhou, Tieshan flattered Lingxi's cooking skills and his ability to flatter others was an eye-opener for me.
Looking at Pei Chuan now, I really doubt that he and Tieshan are biological brothers.
Tell lies without blinking an eye, just say it.
"This kid is adorable." Grandma smiled and grabbed a handful of melon seeds for Pei Chuan and praised: "The melon seeds are smart and much better than my Ningzi."
Ji Qinghe laughed heartily.
Tieshan turned around with a cigarette in his mouth, his shoulders shaking.
The third uncle was very satisfied with Pei Chuan's performance. He grinned and showed his bright front teeth and said: "It is true that he is smarter than when he was a child, but it is only because his master is not here that he dares to show off his cleverness."
"If the damn cripple sees it, oh, it's a trivial matter to think about it while standing in front of a wall. I'll probably have to break his legs as well."
Ji Qinghe didn't think it was a big deal and took out her mobile phone on the spot and asked Pei Chuan to repeat the performance just now. She wanted to record it and show it to Du Qirui.
Pei Chuan turned around and ran away, shouting for help, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
I sat on a chair in the corner and looked at the happy "family". Amid the laughter, I had forgotten how long it had been since I had felt this warm atmosphere.
It seems that from the day my mother left the Su family with Su Tongyuan, this home suddenly became deserted.
When the family gets together, they always feel like something is missing.
But today, I saw "reunion" in grandma's smile.
Two people from the Su family left, but one person came back.
Isn’t the phrase “I want a grandson’s daughter-in-law even after I kiss her grandson” the true emotion expressed by grandma?
I understood what grandma meant, and with Lingxi's intelligence, she naturally understood it too.
So she glanced at me seemingly unintentionally, her eyes lowered and her face burning.
At six o'clock in the evening, my father and uncle took turns serving food, and the table was full.
Hot dishes, cold dishes, fruit platter, oh, it’s really just like the Chinese New Year.
Grandma was so happy that she opened her mouth from ear to ear and told everyone about the embarrassing things that happened to me when I was a child. When I went to school, I lost my schoolbag, and when I went fishing in the water, my flesh was caught by a crab.
Oh my god, my grandma’s “unbridled talk” made me want to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.
Lingxi continued to laugh, and occasionally his peripheral vision fell on me, showing a sense of gloating.
Of course, I also noticed the tenderness in her eyes.
At the dinner table, the uncle hesitated and said that he wanted to ask Lingxi to help him with something.
To be precise, the person who had the problem was my eldest cousin Su Mei.
The eldest cousin is twenty-seven years old this year and married into the town four years ago.
I never thought that after four years of marriage, the couple would never be able to have a child.
I visited more than a dozen hospitals, large and small, but couldn't find anything wrong.
As the old saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, the worst of which is not having children.
No matter how good the relationship between the couple is, they cannot withstand gossip from outsiders and random suspicion from family members.
Especially the parents-in-law complained privately and put all the fault on the eldest cousin.
No, the eldest cousin, who used to only go back to her parents' home during New Years and holidays, has never returned to her husband's home since she returned to Taoshan Village in tears a month ago.
The uncle and aunt were so worried that they could not sleep all night, but there was nothing they could do.
We also invited several Taoist priests, and spent a lot of money on them, and there was no waste at all.
So after knowing that Lingxi would come to my house, my uncle had the idea of asking Lingxi for help.
In his eyes, Lingxi's ability to save me from the evil spirit of Lingguanzhu was a magical method.
