I quickly got out of the bathtub, stood under the shower to wash myself, put on my home clothes and walked out of the bathroom.
As soon as I came out, I almost fainted.
In the middle of the living room, there is a large bouquet of gorgeous roses. It is estimated that two people could not hold the bouquet in their arms.
"I checked, there are nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers." Sister Hu Ming frowned and lay on the sofa, shaking her fan, "A housewarming gift from the fifth district."
"Housewarming gift?" I lowered my head and looked at the flowers. It seemed that every flower was carefully selected. Each one was in bud and ready to bloom, and it was so delicate and beautiful. The red petals were dotted with crystal clear water drops.
The wrapping paper is made of black gauze, which makes the roses look even more glamorous and high-end.
"...Who gives me housewarming gifts and roses?" Besides, I am not familiar with Fifth Qiming, he is only familiar with my master.
I carefully pushed the bouquet to the door with my fingers.
Sister Hu Ming was relieved when she saw my move. I looked at her back walking back to the second bedroom and couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth.
When I was a child, I saw my mother helping others establish a court. I heard that the masters behind the brothers were involuntarily when they made trouble, and they did everything they could to protect their brothers. Even before the brothers knew they existed, they were already there.
As a father and a mother, I started to be protective.
It seems that my three masters are no exception. Sister Hu Ming regards me as an easily deceived chick.
I turned on my phone and took a look. It was past three in the afternoon, and my uncle had just finished a meeting at this time.
Before I put down my phone, my second uncle’s video came over.
Lulu does things quickly!
I hurriedly pressed the call: "Second uncle..."
I was stunned. On the opposite side of the screen, my uncle's face had lost a lot of weight. His eyes were all red and bloodshot, and there was a bit of cyan under the eye sockets, full of fatigue.
"Second uncle, you haven't had any rest, okay?"
The second uncle shook his head and said urgently: "You said you guessed it?"
"Well, second uncle, you raised me."
"...it's hard to guard against a domestic thief."
I chuckled, the great principles my uncle has taught me over the years, as well as his style and methods of doing things, were not in vain.
"Second uncle...why am I a thief?" I looked at my second uncle with resentment, took out half an iced watermelon from the refrigerator, and ate it with a spoon. I suppressed my pride and waited for my second uncle to ask me.
As a result, the second uncle didn't ask any questions and just leaned on the back of the swivel chair leisurely and smoked a cigarette. Now it was me who was anxious.
I couldn't help it anymore, put down the spoon and asked: "Second uncle, who is that person?"
The second uncle slowly finished smoking a cigarette, rubbed his face with his big hands, picked up the coffee on the side and took a sip. His face wrinkled up in pain, and he hurriedly changed to tea.
"She was my girlfriend when I was young."
I opened my eyes wide, you look at it, I said yes, no wonder my second uncle has not been interested in other women for so many years, I guess that 'girlfriend' has a very high status in my uncle's heart.
"She is also my master's only daughter." The second uncle said slowly again and asked me to drop the spoon on the watermelon.
The second uncle glared at me: "What's your expression?"
I scratched my head in embarrassment: "I didn't expect that, Uncle Second, you were so... um... you wouldn't even let Master's daughter go."
I complained in a low voice, and my second uncle heard me.
"Go, go, go, it's not what you think."
I rubbed my nose: "Second uncle, I remember my master said, how did you get... No, how did you get out."
Although I was young back then, I remember very clearly the important things about the people around me.
I still remember that night, the master stood in front of the window and called his second uncle Duan Erzhu by his full name. He also said that the second uncle was expelled from the master because he molested his master's daughter.
But I think my second uncle is not such a person, no, he is definitely not such a person.
The second uncle, as if someone finally knew his secret and he wanted to tell all the words he had been holding in his heart for nearly twenty years, squinted his eyes and recalled, and began to think in pieces.
"Her name is...Lin Wanqing."
My second uncle told me that he and his master’s daughter grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. They had developed feelings for each other early on, but it was just that those times were not so open and everyone hid them, so no one around them knew about them.
The two fell in love secretly.
The second uncle squinted his eyes and talked about a lot of their memories. They went up the mountain to collect wild fruits together, went down the river to catch fish together, made tokens out of lightning-struck wood, learned to draw talismans together, and memorized scriptures together. The second uncle was afraid of ghosts, every time.
The person named Lin Wanqing stood in front of him.
The second uncle's master punished him by kneeling down to incense. Lin Wanqing stood on the side of the two-meter-high incense and blew it, hoping to make the incense burn faster.
As long as the second uncle talked, I listened silently. This was the first time I saw the tender memories on the second uncle's face. Until the end, his expression suddenly changed, and I felt unspeakable heartache.
"The night before my birthday, Wanqing asked me to go to her room and said she had a gift for me. Unexpectedly, after I entered, my master and my brothers pressed down... Wanqing, she, she
Crying and saying that I often molested her..."
The second uncle was so heartbroken that it was hard to breathe, and I was also heartbroken and couldn’t breathe: “Second uncle, drink some water quickly!”
The second uncle hurriedly took the coffee aside and took a big sip. Then he suddenly realized that he had taken it by mistake and spit it out. He hurriedly rinsed his mouth with tea.
After the second uncle calmed down, he closed his eyes heavily and said solemnly: "I can't figure out why she did that, but in that period, falling in love without a marriage contract was very bad for a woman's reputation. The second uncle also said
That’s how I admitted my crime.”
The second uncle suddenly looked at the screen, looking at me with loving eyes.
"Later, the second uncle was kicked out of the school and went to Songcun. Your father and I met at a wedding banquet. We sat at a table and drank a bottle of wine. We hit it off immediately.
At that time, your sister-in-law was pregnant with you. She was also a well-known goddess. Even though she was pregnant, she would not hesitate to ask for help. My second uncle was impressed by your mother's character and betrothed your father again.
, I just stayed in Songcun, I found a job in the cemetery, and not long after I settled in, you were born."
When I mention my parents, my nose gets sore.
"Time flies so fast." The second uncle leaned loosely on the chair, with the panoramic view of the large floor-to-ceiling windows behind him. The second uncle scratched the bald head of his head, "I just didn't expect that I would see Wanqing again.
one day."
"Second uncle." I rubbed my sour nose and said, "You are not curious at all, why did your old best friend do that?"
The old uncle's face turned red and he scolded me through the screen: "What an old sweetheart? After so many years, she should have gotten married and had children long ago."
"Then you still have such deep love for her that you can't even see how good Aunt Duan is to you." Thinking of this, I felt guilty for Aunt Duan and couldn't help but talk about my second uncle.
The second uncle's face turned purple now. He slapped the table with his big hand and corrected me with his eyes wide open: "Isn't it that the second uncle can't see? Didn't the second uncle repay her in the best way? Now most of the group's shares are in
In your Aunt Duan's hands."
"But that's money. Aunt Duan has never been short of money. She just wants you."
"What do you know? Second uncle has obsessions in his heart. Being with your Aunt Duan is irresponsible. Besides, Lulu is with Xiaoyu now. If I am with your Aunt Duan again, what will happen?
"
"What does it matter? Lulu calls you uncle, and she hasn't changed her name to dad, nor is she listed in your household registration. Besides, Aunt Bai is still in the cemetery in her hometown, and Lulu's mother hasn't left yet."
"Hey, you kid! You're stubborn! You're stubborn!" My second uncle gave me a hard look and said, "Stop the ink and tell me why you think there is a misunderstanding."
Hehe, the second uncle finally couldn't bear it anymore.
