Chapter 85: The Uncle and Nephew
Su Youwei recently raised some flowers and plants on the balcony, which she asked Uncle Ping to bring when no one was at home.
Flowers and plants cover one-third of the balcony area. It looks lush and vibrant, adding a lot of color to the home. Occasionally when there is nothing to do, Su Youwei will come over to take a look and sit for a while.
At this time, she was watering the flowers and plants, and suddenly the sound of running was heard outside the door. Immediately afterwards, the door opened, and Cen Wen stood at the door panting while carrying vegetables.
An apologetic look on his face.
"Youwei, I just remembered after I bought the groceries..."
"Remember that you forgot someone?" Su Youwei answered calmly.
Cen Wen nodded awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about other things and forgot about you."
He was honest and admitted that he had forgotten.
Su Youwei saw that he was panting and sweating on his face, and he was obviously rushing to explain after remembering it. Even the anger in her heart disappeared.
"It's okay, I understand you were in a bad mood at the time."
Look how generous she is.
Su Youwei took a sip of coffee and her eyes fell on the vegetables in his hand, "What vegetables did you buy? Do you need my help?"
"Look, I bought a few big blue dragons and made them into garlic flavor. Xiaoxue likes to eat lobster meat the most." Cen Wen opened the aquatic product packaging bag with great interest, and there were several live green dragons inside.
Cen Wen himself would be reluctant to eat such a good dish, but buying it for his family would not hurt him at all.
Su Youwei asked jokingly: "Did you buy the dishes I like?"
Cen Wen smiled and said, "You are not picky about food. As long as the nutrition is balanced, you can eat whatever I cook. However, I know that you prefer a lighter dinner, so I will mix a bowl of salad for you alone in the evening."
Su Youwei smiled lightly, Cen Wen really understood her.
It was getting late, and the guests were about to come. The young couple took the time to prepare dinner. One washed the dishes and the other prepared them. The men and women worked together, so they were not tired from the work, and their cooperation became more and more tacit.
…
On the other side, Lin Kaikai and his daughter gathered their spirits and rushed to the banquet.
After getting off the bus, he walked into the community carrying a large bag of fruit. When he was about to enter the unit door, Lin Kaikai, who had been silent all the way, suddenly stopped Lin Xue.
"Xiaoxue, I've thought about it carefully. Don't tell your cousin what happened at home this time."
"Why? My cousin is not an outsider." Lin Xue was full of words and wanted to talk to Cen Wen.
Lin Kaikai sighed, "How can your cousin be an outsider? I don't want to cause him any more trouble. Think about it, how many things have happened since your mother kicked Xiaowen out of the house. And before, your brother
I also joined forces with your aunt to discredit Xiao Wen on the Internet, and I don’t even know what to say."
"Tonight's dinner, my wife is also present. Let's eat happily and not say a word about the unhappy things. I know you don't understand, but I'm afraid that if people think we are too busy, it will affect their little couple.
Love, how can I have the dignity to be an uncle?"
What Lao Lin said makes sense. Lin Xue is a reasonable girl. She puts herself in the shoes of her cousin-in-law. Thinking about her experiences during this period, she has indeed caused a lot of trouble to others, so she can only silently bear her grievances.
Swallow inside.
"Dad, I won't say anything for a while."
"Okay." Old Lin nodded happily. At this moment, Cen Wen's voice sounded not far away, "Uncle, Xiaoxue, you are here."
There was no dipping sauce at home, so Cen Wen came down to buy some. He came out of the canteen carrying a bottle of delicious fresh soy sauce, and happened to meet Lin Kaikai and his daughter talking downstairs in the unit.
"Uncle, why are you buying something again? Youwei and I ate the fruit you bought last time for a whole week." Cen Wen muttered disapprovingly when he saw the fruit Lin Kaikai was carrying.
His uncle was very particular about etiquette. Even if he came to his closest nephew's house for dinner, he would bring gifts to his door, and he would definitely buy the best fruits in the fruit shop.
If his uncle had money, Cen Wen would have no problem with it, but almost all of his uncle's income was in Gu Yan's hands.
"It's okay, fruits don't cost much. I picked them out, and they were all fruits that your store hasn't been doing group buying recently." Lin Kai said cheerfully.
Yesterday, several female teachers in Lin Kaikai's office who loved shopping joined Cen Wen's customer group and casually pulled Lin Kaikai into the group. It happened that the group was doing a fruit group purchase at that time, and they were selling strawberries.
What Lin Kaikai bought was a box of cherries, estimated to cost several hundred!
How long did it take for my uncle to save these hundreds of dollars by frugally?
"Let's go home for dinner, Youwei is waiting for us." Cen Wen said no more and went home first.
Walking in the corridor, Lin Kaikai was in front and Lin Xue was following behind. Cen Wen saw that Xiao Nizi was in a bad mood, so he approached her and asked softly:
"Xiaoxue, are you okay?" He saw the redness on one side of Lin Xue's cheek and thought it was strange. Are you allergic?
"It's okay, I'm okay." Lin Xue lowered her head slightly, fearing that Cen Wen would notice something was wrong.
Lin Kai's slap was so hard that her cheeks were swollen, so she had to put on makeup before going out, hoping that her cousin wouldn't notice.
Cen Wen really misunderstood. He only thought that Lin Xue was a girl, and she kept the secret of her mother's cheating on her, so she was in a bad mood.
Su Youwei heard the footsteps and came over early to open the door. She saw Lin Kaikai and Lin Xue and said hello.
Both parties exchanged warm and harmonious greetings.
After the dishes were cooked, Cen Wen went to the kitchen and brought the last dish of green dragon to the table.
"Come, uncle, Xiaoxue, Youwei, it's time to eat."
When Lin Xue saw a table of delicious dishes prepared by her cousin, many of which she loved to eat but was reluctant to buy, she was moved beyond words.
But at the same time, there was a bitter taste in her heart, which she couldn't explain. Looking at the dinner table, Lao Lin and his cousin were talking and laughing, looking friendly. But who knew that these two people actually had secrets?
?
Lao Lin asked her to hide the conflict in the afternoon, fearing that it would affect her cousin's family harmony. Her cousin asked her to conceal Gu Yan's affair, fearing that it would hurt Lao Lin too much.
These uncles and nephews really understand and care about each other.
So she is the only one who is unlucky. She knows all the troubles and has no one she can trust or talk to.
"Come on, Lin Xue, let's eat lobster. You don't usually like lobster the most." Cen Wen saw the depression and unhappiness on Lin Xue's face, so he was considerate and offered her a big green dragon.
Lin Kaikai was also urging hard from the side: "Come here Xiaoxue, dad will also give you a piece of your favorite braised pork."
Lin Xue suppressed a wry smile and accepted them one by one. What she ate was delicious food, but what she swallowed was bitter.
"Excuse me, is there any wine? It would be even better if there is a bottle of wine with such a good dish." Lin Kaikai suddenly asked. He can drink, but he rarely drinks. Today, I don't know what's going on. Suddenly
Craving that bite.
Cen Wen was stunned for a moment. He had prepared everything, but he had forgotten to buy wine. Just as he was about to go down and buy it, Su Youwei smiled faintly, stood up and said, "There is wine, I'll get it."
She got up and went to the bedroom and brought out a bottle of red wine.
This is another habit that Cen Wen doesn't know about. If Su Youwei doesn't sleep well at night, she will drink a few sips to help her sleep. Therefore, she puts a few bottles of red wine in the wardrobe.
Lin Kai filled a glass and looked at Cen Wen and Su Youwei.
"Uncle is in high spirits, so I'll have a drink with him too." Su Youwei said generously, as she was already a good drinker.
Cen Wen is not good at drinking, but since his uncle wanted to drink today, let's drink together.
Lin Xue saw that the wine glasses in front of her cousin and cousin-in-law were filled with wine, and she raised the glasses tentatively, "Otherwise, I will also..."
Without even uttering the word 'accompany', Cen Wen filled her with juice and said, "Just stop drinking. What if all four of us are drunk? You still have to take care of uncle when he gets home."
"It makes sense." Lin Xue retracted her hand silently and took a sip of juice.
The wine prepared by Su Youwei looks ordinary on the outside and does not even have a trademark. However, it is a top-notch red wine produced by Chateau Lafite Rothschild that is not available on the market at all.
Only over 700 cases of this kind of red wine are produced a year, so even those with money may not be able to buy it.
Cen Wen couldn't taste anything yet. Once Lin Kai took a taste, he couldn't help but praise: "Good wine. I have never tasted such a fragrant red wine."
"Then uncle, drink more. There are still a few bottles in it." Su Youwei said with a smile. Lin Kaifa wanted to drink, and she would not be stingy.
"Okay, okay." Old Lin was still rude in front of his nephew-in-law.
Of course that's because he doesn't know the true price of wine at all.
Lin Kaikai originally wanted to drink because he was in a bad mood. Once he let go, he couldn't control his emotions and drank too much. In the end, Lin Xue helped him go home.
As for Cen Wen, he thought the wine was delicious, but he couldn't say exactly why it tasted good.
It's just that Lao Lin drank too much, and the people accompanying him naturally drank a lot too. When Lin Kai left, he was already a little unable to stand.
After his uncle and Lin Xue left, Cen Wen fell directly on the sofa, feeling that the ceiling was spinning. In a daze, he faced Su Youwei who came over and said with force: "Youwei, I will rest for a while, then I will
Come and help you clean up."
The words were slurred.
Su Youwei looked at the drunken Cen Wen and shook her head helplessly, "How dare you drink so much if you don't have the ability to drink." Cen Wen drank half a bottle by herself. It would be strange not to get drunk. She actually drank a lot.
, the better part is that he drinks well and looks like a fine person.
However, Su Youwei also knew that why Cen Wen was drunk today was not because of Gu Yan's cheating. She could understand, so she didn't mind it, so she let Cen Wen fall asleep on the sofa alone, and she started to clean up the housework.
She patiently tidied up, washed the dishes, and kept the kitchen clean. Then she took off her makeup and washed herself. After she finished all this, Cen Wen hadn't woken up yet, so she sat next to Cen Wen and pushed him.
.
Cen Wen turned over, placed one foot directly on her thigh, and naturally put his hand on her waist.
Su Youwei was stunned for a moment, and a trace of red cloud quickly flew onto her face.
