"Ahem! Let me first state that I had no knowledge of this matter beforehand!" Meng Lang explained awkwardly.
"It doesn't matter if you know, it's human nature! But you are worthy of being a hero in Guanzhong, your cards are big enough, you are going to audition!
Come and take a look, let Auntie arrange it for you if you like it!" Yan Weiwei teased.
Meng Lang rolled his eyes helplessly. "When you are in the world, you can't help yourself. In fact, my outlook on mate selection is the same as my three outlooks. They are very simple."
"What is your view on mate selection?"
"I would like to win the heart of one person, so that I don't have to fall in love with you all the time."
"puff!"
Everyone laughed again.
"Xiaohui, why is there a car parked at the door? Is Xiaolang back?"
At this time, the sound of Lao Meng coming back from get off work was suddenly heard outside the door, and then the sound of his mother hurried out.
"That's the car Xiaolang and the others rented... I asked you why you're covered in mud again. Go wash it off quickly. There's a guest at home!"
"What guest?"
Then their voices dropped...
…
The dinner that day was as sumptuous as ever.
But Lao Meng's mind was not on the food at all. He sat upright with a serious and cute look on his face.
It wasn't until Yang Hui kicked his foot under the table that he realized that he, the "head of the family," should take the lead in speaking.
"Oh! Cough! Oh! This house hasn't been so lively for a long time. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!
Our little Lang is usually taken care of by you. This time we must play at home for a few more days. Let us do our best as landlords and express our gratitude!
Don't be polite, you guys just treat this place as your home. Xiaohui, I'll tidy up Qingqing's room and the guest room upstairs in a while.
Don’t dislike the shabby living conditions here in the countryside.”
"How could it be? Besides, Meng Lang usually takes care of us more and helps us a lot. This time, we should be the ones saying thank you when he comes here." Lin Haitang said with a smile.
"Well! I came here to disturb you this time. I left in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare gifts. I'm sorry that we are the ones to blame." Yan Weiwei echoed to save Meng Lang's face.
He takes better care of you?
This brat can't even take care of himself...
Lao Meng naturally regarded these words as polite remarks.
"Well! It's not easy for you young people to work hard outside. You should take care of each other more.
Although this brat in our family doesn’t usually worry much, the character of our Lao Meng family can definitely be assured!”
"Okay, okay, don't be polite, come on, let's eat first." Yang Hui smiled and greeted everyone to start eating.
"Yes! Eat! I'm so happy today, Xiaohui, go get a bottle of wine. You must have two glasses in the evening!"
"Here, drink this, Weiwei brought it specially for you." Yang Hui smiled and handed over a bottle of wine.
Lao Meng saw that it was Maotai.
"Child, just come here and don't bring anything else. It's not easy for young people to make money, so don't spend money randomly."
But when I looked at the year of manufacture on the wine bottle, my eyes suddenly widened, and my hand shook and I almost dropped the wine.
"Xiaoyu, eat a piece of fish. When the child grows, he needs to supplement his nutrition."
Yang Hui didn't notice the strange expression on Lao Meng's face, and put vegetables into Xiaoyu's bowl next to him with a smile.
"Yeah! Auntie, it's delicious! You can eat it too."
Xiaoyu ate the fish and put vegetables in Yang Hui's bowl, smiling sweetly.
That smile almost made Yang Huixin cute.
"Xiao Yu is so sensible, come on! Eat more! Eat more meat."
"Mom, be more restrained, the bowl is almost full!"
But Yang Hui liked it more and more the more she watched it.
"I don't know why, but Auntie felt like she was in love with Xiao Yu the first time she saw her. It felt like she had seen her before somewhere."
Meng Lang was speechless.
Having said this, it’s almost time to catch up with the “family search drama” on TV...
This is what is called, if a parent wants a grandchild, he or she can only let someone take care of the child for a long time?
"Alas! Auntie's biggest regret in this life is that she could not raise a girl as well-behaved and sensible as you." Yang Hui said with emotion.
Lao Meng carefully poured a small glass of wine into his glass, while Meng Lang calmly stuffed a piece of steamed pork ribs into his mouth.
Due to some practical reasons, the whole family automatically ignored the fact that Meng Qingqing was a girl...
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone let go of their inhibitions.
In addition to the daily routine, there are all kinds of insinuations from parents.
"Haitang, what do you do? A lawyer? A good lawyer! But I heard from Xiaolang that the city is very chaotic, so you have to pay attention to safety..."
"What does Weiwei's family do? Open a martial arts gym? That's a big deal..."
"You don't know that Xiaolang was a doormat when he was a child. His sister had a bird egg smashed into his head and he had to come back crying to complain..."
"Really? Haha..."
It was Yang Hui and Lao Meng who made fun of Meng Lang's childhood from time to time, which made Meng Lang extremely embarrassed.
After the wine and food were full, Yang Hui got up and cleaned up the mess.
Naturally, Lin Haitang and Yan Weiwei helped together. Even Xiao Yu was not idle, and started to help clear the dishes, wipe the table and wash the dishes with a very skillful look. Yang Hui was stunned for a while.
Seeing everyone busy, Lao Meng looked slightly tipsy.
They are all good girls...
He glanced at his son who was sitting next to him eating peanuts.
"You brat, I really didn't realize that you still have this ability!"
"What's the point?"
"You've done a good job keeping secrets? You didn't say a word before, but this time you just brought two of them back. I'm impressed by you."
Meng Lang glanced at Lao Meng and sighed helplessly.
"You think highly of me. If I were really capable, I wouldn't have brought two back this time..."
"Pretend!" Lao Meng rolled his eyes at him.
"Tell me honestly, what is your relationship? How far has it progressed? Don't worry, I will fully support you this time!"
"Ahem! Don't talk nonsense, we are just ordinary neighbors!"
Meng Lang was still a little shy when discussing his emotional issues in front of Lao Meng.
"Ordinary neighborly relationship?" Lao Meng looked strange.
Thinking of the phone call I received before, I hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Are you sure... it's just a neighborly relationship, not a relationship between a rich woman and another rich woman?"
rash:"……"
Damn it! Lao Zhang!
Who had sworn before that "I would not tell Lao Meng about this matter"?!
Old men can be so gossipy!
Seeing Meng Lang's "exposed" expression, Lao Meng was worried that Meng Lang wouldn't be able to save face, so he patted his shoulder with comfort.
"Don't worry, I won't tell your mother about this.
I also know that you are doing this for the sake of the fellow villagers at home and for the benefit of the village. It’s hard for you!
