Around 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Yu Xiaoliang finally checked in with the hotel and returned home.

Tang Xiangyue was still awake at this time, half lying on the sofa covered with a blanket. Of course she was not waiting for her husband, but stayed up late watching the TV series "Golden Wedding".

This family ethics TV series starring Jiang Wenli and Zhang Guoli may seem ordinary or even trivial, but it has a down-to-earth and touching power.

Once it was broadcast, it became popular all over the country, and even Mao Xiaoqin was chasing it.

When Tang Xiangyue heard the movement, she drooped her eyelids and turned her head to take a look.

Ignoring my husband's dry lips, he shrank into the blanket and continued to watch TV comfortably.

Yu Xiaoliang seemed to be used to it. He first poured a glass of water and took two big gulps, then turned on the incandescent light with a "pop" sound.

The living room, which had been pitch black and white with only the flickering fluorescent lights, suddenly became brighter.

But Tang Xiangyue was like a sewer rat encountering light, and immediately complained dissatisfiedly: "I'm watching TV, how can I watch it when it's shaking like this?"

"Excuse me."

Yu Xiaoliang put down his handbag and said apologetically: "I thought you were asleep in the bedroom."

"Hmph~"

Tang Xiangyue muttered: "You can't even see it, like a blind man!"

"Well...I haven't eaten anything yet."

Yu Xiaoliang spoke very softly, as if he was worried about disturbing Liu Ye: "Is there any leftover food at home?"

"No! Just order some noodles yourself."

Tang Xiangyue replied indifferently. After a while, she felt a little strange: "Aren't you talking about things in a hotel? You can still be hungry there?"

"The food in the hotel is too expensive. It's better to come back and deal with the two of us casually."

Yu Xiaoliang rubbed the corners of his tired eyes. If the cos sister were here, she would definitely notice that her father's crow's feet have suddenly increased a lot in the past two years.

"oh."

Tang Xiangyue responded indifferently, not showing any distress at all. She was just concerned about the banquet: "How's it going over there?"

Yu Xiaoliang also has a really good temper. He is not angry at all when he is ignored or looked down upon.

He still meekly replied: "Everything is basically ready. We can start eating when we arrive tomorrow."

Tang Xiangyue was probably used to it and was not grateful at all. She also arranged it as a matter of course: "You go there to keep an eye on me tomorrow and I'll take Xiao Zizi to put on makeup in the morning."

"OK!"

Yu Xiaoliang nodded in agreement, and waited until his wife yawned and walked into the bedroom, and he was the only one outside.

Yu Xiaoliang quietly carried the handbag to the kitchen, and inside was a brand new Nokia N95 mobile phone box.

Last time I went back to Zhusigang, I found that Yu Xian's mobile phone was damaged by water and could not be opened.

Looking at his daughter who was still using a domestic phone after going to college, Yu Xiaoliang made a sad decision at that time to replace Yu Xian with an imported phone that was most popular among college students.

"I wonder if Sister Xian will accept it."

Regarding this point, Yu Xiaoliang had no idea.

But if my daughter can accept it, I might be even happier than Liu Ye, the birthday girl tomorrow.

Lao Yu has no feelings for Liu Ye, only a status responsibility.

A night of silence.

Yu Xiaoliang cooked a bowl of noodles alone in the kitchen. After eating, he didn't want to go to the bedroom, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep on the sofa.

The next morning, Lao Yu was woken up by a quarrel.

It turned out to be Liu Ye's cry after she stayed in bed and didn't want to get up, after being scolded by her mother.

Yu Xiaoliang didn't look at it or take care of it. Liu Ye was a lazy child and his grades were relatively poor.

At first, Lao Yu was kind enough to give some suggestions, but no one listened to them, and later he stopped talking.

After all, my identity as "stepdad" is a bit embarrassing.

But no matter what, Yu Xiaoliang could still do normal housework. After washing, he walked over and asked Tang Xiangyue and Liu Ye: "What do you want to eat in the morning?"

“KFC!”

Liu Ye shouted loudly.

“What to eat KFC!”

Tang Xiangyue immediately scolded: "Is there no food at home? Don't you have to spend money to eat out? Do you know how much you have spent on making up classes during the winter vacation? That crazy learning website can't charge any cheaper..."

Parents of primary and secondary school students in Guangzhou are now accustomed to finding tutors on the Learning Network.

In fact, the price of tutoring under this model is much cheaper than before.

But for Tang Xiangyue, only free ones are the best.

"Why is it all my fault?"

Liu Ye was also unconvinced. She looked a bit like her mother, but her skin was darker, just like an underdeveloped little mouse.

"That money wasn't given by you, it was all given by your stepfather!"

Liu Ye retorted: "You used all the money you earned to buy clothes and cosmetics. Don't think I don't know!"

Tang Xiangyue was furious when he heard this.

She was "furious" not because Liu Ye exposed the secret of her private treasury.

The reason why people keep secrets is because they are worried that they will have bad consequences if they are exposed.

But Tang Xiangyue was very confident. Even if Yu Xiaoliang knew that he had a small treasury, he would not dare to be angry, so it was not a secret.

Sure enough, Yu Xiaoliang acted as if he hadn't heard this sentence and still spoke like a good old man: "If Liu Ye wants to eat, take her there. It's her birthday today."

"Don't talk!"

Tang Xiangyue lost her temper at Yu Xiaoliang, then glared at Liu Ye and said, "Did you steal my new cosmetics again?"

This was the real reason why Tang Xiangyue was angry. Liu Ye was not focused on studying at a young age, but was stealing her own cosmetics and applying them all day long.

The key point is to talk about her. She also plausibly argued: "My stepfather's daughter is so beautiful. If I don't wear makeup, won't I be outdone by her?"

Tang Xiangyue gets angry every time she hears this reason, but because her level is too low, she doesn't know how to refute it. In the end, she turns her anger on Yu Xiaoliang.

Who makes your daughter so much more beautiful than my daughter?

Tang Xiangyue and Liu Ye, a troubled mother and daughter, had a quarrel over cosmetics. Both of them had high-pitched voices, which sounded to others like fingernails scratching on a glass blackboard.

Yu Xiaoliang’s head was about to explode.

Fortunately, the makeup and styling studio they had made an appointment with earlier called and asked when Liu Ye would be there, so the two of them calmed down.

It was hard for her daughter to celebrate her tenth birthday, and Tang Xiangyue also hoped that today would become an unforgettable memory for her in her lifetime.

Tang Xiangyue packed her things in a hurry, but before going out, Yu Xiaoliang suddenly stopped her.

"Don't forget."

Lao Yu said sincerely: "Today I am going to resolve conflicts and eliminate misunderstandings with Yu Xian. I hope everyone's attitude will be friendly."

Tang Xiangyue thought it was something important, but this is what happened?

Although Tang Xiangyue also made a plan to "pretend to reconcile", Yu Xiaoliang was not allowed to point fingers like this.

"Today, first of all, is my daughter's birthday!"

Tang Xiangyue rolled her eyes and scolded angrily: "Everything else is secondary. You should go to the hotel early to receive the guests!"

After Tang Xiangyue finished speaking, she took Liu Ye and left.

The house suddenly became quiet.

"Huh~"

Lao Yu felt that the world had become much wider in an instant, and his mood improved unconsciously, humming the popular song of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Go home often, go home and take a look, even if you help mom brush the chopsticks and wash the dishes..."

He first steamed two steamed buns for himself, cooked some porridge, and ate it happily with fermented bean curd.

Seeing that it was almost time, he first sent a message to his daughter: "Sister Xian, why don't you get up?"

Yu Xian quickly replied: "I'm up."

Yu Xiaoliang: The name and address of the hotel have been sent to you. When you arrive, give the message and dad will go out to pick you up.

Yu Xian: No, I know the way. By the way, Chen Zhu will go too.

"Chen Zhu is coming too?"

Yu Xiaoliang was stunned.

He was a little afraid of this "son-in-law" who had a smile hidden in his eyes, but underneath his smile was a dagger.

However, Yu Xiaoliang had no reason to prohibit Chen Zhu from coming over. Besides, given Xian's sister's temper, if Chen Zhu was blocked from outside, she would turn around and leave without saying a word.
