Landlord with umbrella but no knife

"I'll help you prepare dinner tonight before going."

"Don't make a fuss, just go by yourself. I have plenty of places to eat delicious food. You can prepare them for me. I'll eat alone. Isn't it just as lonely? By the way, are you planning to come back to accompany me at night?" Mu Huang narrowed her eyes slightly...

"Accompany, then I won't accompany you tomorrow."

"...I want to accompany me tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, all the time!" Mu Huang took my hand, this was a joke, I didn't refuse directly, but just looked at her.

"Okay, I know you're going to find Lin Qianqu, so I will reluctantly agree to you, there are so many little lovers..." Mu Huang shook her head helplessly, I was wondering if Mu Zhiqing had the same helpless expression at the beginning?

Of course I won't be polite. According to Lao Xu's tone, he probably didn't know that I was helping.

I am willing to share this precious happiness with him. He also said that there has been no celebration and treat in life for too long, and he probably has no friends for a long time.

Finally, I can change the dirty work clothes that have not been washed for a few days and are full of sweat.

Makeover, life also turned a page.

When he was in his 40s, it was the real Chinese New Year.

I counted and ordered downstairs to his house, and of course I brought something, a box of coconut milk from the supermarket in front of his house.

"Old Xu." I knocked on the door.

It was his wife who opened the door.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"Why do you still come here to buy things? Isn't it too strange?"

The sister-in-law still put on light makeup today, but obviously, she is more confident than before. She changed into new clothes, which are the new clothes of the season, or that niche brand. The only recent discount event should be about 9% off.

So when she was embarrassed and lonely, she still maintained a glamorous appearance, and she had to look in the front and rear mirrors when doing cleaning, let alone now?

"Come here after get off work, I'm in a hurry, I really don't have anything to buy, so I bought a box of coconut juice from the supermarket outside... We'll drink it later."

"Hey, didn't we agree to drink!" Lao Xu came out with a spatula, and he was wearing an apron in a funny way.

"It's very fragrant... My God, you are too polite, old Xu."

On the not-so-big dining table, there was a whole grilled chicken and a whole grilled fish. The cumin and garlic, accompanied by the oil still on the boiling tin foil, fried the sides of the fish.

"I went to buy it...Old Xu, Xiao Zuo, spent a long time making so many dishes."

"You don't cook by yourself, I still have to say when I cook, Xiao Jiang, don't look at me like this, I used to go to the construction site to cook vegetables for others as a half-cook cook, fried pork, fried three delicacies, I It’s all right, I still have the classic sweet and sour pork loin, can you smell it!”

"It's really upright. Let me tell you the truth. Old Xu, your sweet and sour pork ribs are as good as the 30 yuan I ate at xx's, okay?"

"Shit, I bought two catties of pork ribs and it costs more than 50 now... Let's not talk about it, I'm busy in the kitchen, wife, you call to remind Xiaoyan, what's the situation, why don't you go home for a long time?"

"She's such a person. After the exam, she will definitely not be able to accept it. She goes shopping with her classmates every day."

"What's the point of shopping? According to me, I'll be a tutor during the summer vacation to earn some money..."

"Don't, wait for me to pay my wages to change my daughter's clothes, what money will she make now?"

"That can't go wild..."

"People want a new computer and a new mobile phone, and you shied away before. The air conditioner at home should also be replaced."

"It's true... hey, everything has to be replaced with new ones, but our life is finally getting better." Old Xu was very emotional.

"Let's not talk about this, Jiang...Xiaojiang...sit down quickly, you must be very hungry, grilled fish, grilled chicken, and these stewed meat, eat some first, I also stewed white fungus soup with the foresight, served on ice It's up, it smells good." She hurriedly said.

"Wait, old Xu..."

"The food will be ready soon, you eat first! Hurry up, it won't taste good when it's cold."

"May I help?" I watched Lao Xu busy and sweating profusely, and I didn't care whether he said it was necessary or not, so I went to help serve the dishes.

The three of us are crowded in the kitchen.

The pattern of life is like charred ribs in a pressure cooker.

It’s been a while since I’ve eaten such straightforward lo mei and grilled chicken. My sister-in-law turned the fan to the maximum, which wasn’t too fast. There was no air conditioner in the living room, let alone in the kitchen.

When I brought out the last bowl of food, I saw a girl push the door in.

I was a little stunned and couldn't help but laugh.

Lao Xu's daughter is wearing a pair of blue high-heeled shoes that are not suitable for her age, and she is carrying a bag in her hand, which seems to contain her original sneakers.

It's not bad in a black suspender dress. She has a little makeup on her face. The makeup is quite sophisticated, of course it's not her own makeup, and her hair is also permed and dyed in wavy curls.

She glanced at me, expressionless, and said, "Hello."

Then she walked to her mother, "Mom, look, how is it? This dress? My friend bought it for me... and took me to do makeup and hair."

"Xu Yan! What's the matter with you!" Old Xu almost lost his anger when he saw it the first time.

"What's your situation? How old are you? Make up? Wear high heels?"

"I do, thank you." There was no understanding of her father in her eyes, and rebellion was written on her face.

"Who bought it for you? I'll go to him, how can you ask for something from someone else? Was it a boy or a girl who bought it for me?"

"Say it, my best friend, they take me to play every day, it doesn't look like I'm staying at home, I'm so bored."

"Then you pay her back with the money. We can't have this kind of thing. Your mother just said that she would buy you a new set..."

"Aren't you bothering me? I've come back to eat and changed my look. Do you need to worry about it? People who make friends with me are willing to buy it for me. What's the matter?"

"How can there be a free lunch in the world? You don't understand the truth? Every day is out of tune, where are your original clothes?"

"It's lost, I can't wear that kind of old-fashioned school uniform again."

"you…"

"Okay, Xu Yan, it's really not good to take other people's clothes for nothing, and she even helped you make up?"

"Yeah, I even did my hair, look...wavy~" She showed off proudly.

"Then mother will give you the money later, and go with you to return it to others?"

"I told her to pay her back, but she said no, as long as I play with her."

"The clothes are not cheap..." Her mother looked at her and said.

"I know... if it's cheap, I'll pay it back..." Xu Yan said seriously.

"You..." Old Xu stared helplessly, hoping that his wife could say a few words.

"Let me go with you."

"Farewell, people said that if I want to pay her back, I just look down on her. Her family's house is very good, and she is really rich... Others really don't care, they just want to go shopping with someone..."

She is lying.

Chapter 139 Old Xu's Wife's Past? (2/)

There are too many flaws in what this little girl said, and I don't know how to complain.

But one thing I know very well, her friends want her to accompany her, definitely not shopping, nightclubs or bars.

Old Xu may not be clear, but I know a thing or two about this dross culture.

The blue stiletto, in some occasions, means that you can strike up a conversation. This is a symbol, and the makeup on her face, which is semi-pure and mature, will look better under the light. It is no longer smoky now. The era of non-mainstream makeup.

This friend should want to wrap her up, tie a bow like a gift, and send it to a man he knows, half of which may be her boyfriend.

This kind of play is not uncommon, and it is not too crooked to encourage such a poor but good-looking girl to take a path that is not too crooked.

Of course, I will not make wild guesses.

Maybe it's a girl from a rich family who wants to make a girlfriend.

Occasionally, pies will fall from the sky, isn't that what Lao Xu is?

With the kindness of a rich person, even a little bit of meat can be used by others to turn it into a table full of grilled chicken and fish.

"Okay, no matter what, let's eat first." The sister-in-law winked at Lao Xu, who shook his head.

"Okay, let's eat first, Xu Yan, this is your Uncle Jiang, my father's friend..."

"Why is it an uncle? He is obviously an elder brother." Her eyes rolled around, as if she knew very well that my clothes were not in the same class as her father's.

"Today, Lao Xu, is it New Year's Eve for you?" I answered the wrong question and glanced at Lao Xu.

"It must be Chinese New Year, you may not believe it, Xiao Jiang, I have never had such a rich meal during Chinese New Year."

"Haha, shit, old Xu, don't say it out loud, since it's Chinese New Year, and Xu Yan called me brother, I'll give her a red envelope too..."

"Ah? What's wrong with this, Xiao Jiang, don't make trouble! You've already bought coconut milk!" Old Xu looked at me and took out a red envelope from my pocket in a serious manner, a little dumbfounded, of course I didn't have any premeditation, I just wanted to give some money .

"Haha, it's a joke. Anyway, I got a dead salary, and I'm still gnawing on the old man. I'm happy today. Really, Lao Xu, do yourself a favor!"

"I haven't even said any good news yet! You're giving too much face."

"Looking at your rosy face, I can guess it pretty well." I put the red envelope on the table.

"Thank you brother!" Xu Yan grinned, her mother still has charm, she is naturally a beauty, and she has not inherited the vulgarity and loyalty of old Xu at all.

"You..." Of course, Lao Xu didn't think about anything else, he was just being polite to me.

"Okay, I'll accept it. Let's say it first, Xiao Jiang. When you get married in the future, you must inform us. I will definitely go over and give you a big red envelope." His wife knew that I was just a whim, so she definitely Give me this face.

"No problem, sister-in-law! I will definitely call you when you get married."

Old Xu was very helpless, "That's the only way to go, Xiao Jiang, you are really too polite."

Xu Yan took the red envelope with a light smile, and quickly stuffed it into her small bag like a little hamster...

"Okay, old Xu, hurry up and tell me the good news."

"Haha, indeed, is this good news? That is, I, Xu, will finally become a station master! My monthly salary has been raised by at least three or four levels, and I don't have to go through wind and rain. Of course, I still I can get a minimum guarantee contract, which is allowed, and my salary is plus and minus. It's hard work, and I will finally be able to buy large furniture at home in the future.

Xu Yan, you study hard, Dad works harder, pays for you to go to college, helps you save a down payment..."

"Okay." Xu Yan didn't seem too interested.

"I also have good news. I have also been promoted. I was assigned to a shopping mall under the company. I was in charge of personnel deployment and some transaction processing. My monthly salary was tens of thousands. The even better news is that once this year is over, Our family's mortgage is almost paid off." My sister-in-law swept away the haze of the past, and I was full of hope when I heard it.

"Old Xu, to be honest, I wanted to drink coconut milk, but really, it's such a good day, drink!"

"Haha! Good! I really want to have a drink or two, but I really don't have anyone to accompany me."

"You drink white and I drink beer?"

"Good for you!"

"Then I'm not good at drinking... Otherwise, I'll be so drunk, you rest tomorrow, and I have to go to work tomorrow..."

"That's right, I mean, it would be great if you could drink with me."

"Hurry up, I'm so rude, I'm really hungry." I tore off a large piece of chicken with chopsticks, and it tasted very good.

But not long after I ate, Lao Xu started pouring wine. He began to drink white wine. I don’t like drinking beer, but the wine is still open, and Lao Xu’s temples are slightly frosty, so why not?

His day is bright, and it should be cleared up.

I drink alcohol easily on my face, and my face turns red all of a sudden.

Lao Xu laughed at me while drinking white wine not to be outdone.

I desperately ate the grilled fish, suppressing the smell of alcohol.

"Dad, can you do it? Don't you think you can't even drink your brother?" Xu Yan frowned from time to time.

"Brother, why don't you drink another glass? Look at my dad. You want to raise fish with this wine glass?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, take a good look at your dad and my drinking capacity!"

"Okay, Dad, if you want to drink or not, the New Year's money that my brother gave me will be yours!"

Old Xu insisted on drinking, but he couldn't control it. He probably hadn't had a drink for a long time, so he used too much force and fell on the dining table drunk.

"Old Xu... I, Cao, you really can't do it!" I waved my hand shaking my head, ready to eat some roast chicken.

"It's true, it's been a long time since I've had such a chance to be so drunk." She held her chin and smiled lightly.

"Mom..." Xu Yan suddenly thought of something.

"what happened?"

"Didn't you say that you will go with me later... to pay back the money? Now that we have enough to eat, we can go out. By the way, that... my classmate's father seems to know you, saying that he is your classmate...

I also know your previous nickname, Mom..." Xu Yan tilted her head.
