C672 It Was Rare for Them to Gather Together
Ring, ring, ring!
The phone in his pocket rang.
I took the phone out of my pocket and saw that it was from my mother, Yuen Dongmei, who had used the phone at home to call me. I hurriedly pressed the answer button and asked:
"Mom, what's up?"
"What time is it? Why aren't you home for dinner?" Yuen Dongmei scolded him over the phone.
"I haven't finished my work here, so I'm not going home for dinner!" Zhou Min replied.
"You only know how to work all day, and you don't even want your home?" Yuen Dongmei reproached him over the phone, "When the time comes, your body will be exhausted. Don't blame no one to serve you."
"Mom, are you long-winded or not? I am busy with work, not playing. Why did you say I don't want my home?" Zhou Min complained.
"I don't care. You have to go home for lunch today no matter what." Yuen Dongmei said in a commanding tone.
"Why?" Zhou Min asked in confusion.
"Your grandfather came to our house. He wants to see you!" Yuen Dongmei replied.
"My grandfather?" Zhou Min exclaimed, "When did he come?"
"He came home early in the morning after finishing his business with your father. Come back quickly!" Yuen Dongmei explained.
"Okay, I'll be right back!" Zhou Min's spirit shook and she did not feel tired at all.
After she packed her things, she left the Deputy Chief Inspector's office, walked out of the branch office building, and went to the garage. She drove her Audi patrol car out of the Police Office and headed to the Nanhua Company's family courtyard.
Not long after, she arrived at the Nanhua City company courtyard.
Zhou Min drove the car into the courtyard and parked it at her house's building. After getting off the car, she quickly walked to her house's door and used the key to open the door.
At this moment, Zhou Hongzhi was chatting with Old Master Yuen in the living room while Yuen Dongmei was cooking in the kitchen.
When Zhou Min saw Old Master Yuen, she hurriedly walked into the room and turned around to close the door.
She ran towards the sofa in the living room and sat down beside the old man. She held his arm and asked in a lovely voice,
"Grandpa, why didn't you call me before you came to our house?"
"My good granddaughter is getting prettier and prettier." Old Master Yuen used his hand to scratch Zhou Min's nose and asked, "I heard that you have become Vice Officer of the Police Office. You are really good at working. How is your work recently?"
"It's pretty good. I just miss Grandpa and Grandma a little." Zhou Min asked in a flattering manner.
"My good granddaughter is getting better at talking," Old Master Yuen said, smiling. "If you miss us, why didn't you go to our house for so long?"
"I... I was busy recently, so I didn't have time to go..." Zhou Min defended herself.
"I think you are busy dating, right?" Old Master Yuen asked jokingly.
"Grandpa, who did you hear that from? When did I fall in love?" Zhou Min asked anxiously.
"Haha, I'm too embarrassed to admit it." Old Master Yuen laughed and said, "I've already seen your boyfriend, Lee Xiangyang. He's not bad. Grandpa likes him. Hurry up and call him home. It is rare for us to be together. Today at noon, our family will have lunch together. "
...
After the meal was served, Liao Change placed two bowls and chopsticks on the coffee table and brought a stool over to sit on the opposite side of the tea table.
"Lee Xiangyang, this is the first time you have eaten the food I made, right?" Liao Change smiled sweetly and pointed to the steaming dishes on the coffee table and said, "Try it first and see if these dishes match your taste."1
"Okay." I could not hold it in any longer. I picked up my chopsticks and tried the green pepper shredded pork and tomato fried eggs respectively. The vegetables fried bitter melons and others nodded and said, "Not bad. You can be considered a qualified and beautiful housewife."
"Lee Xiangyang, don't make fun of me." Liao Change shook her head and said, "I'm still a beautiful housewife like this. You should just say that I'm a yellow-faced woman."
"If you are not beautiful, why would that old man Zhu Cong marry you?" When I said this, it was obvious that it was a little sarcastic.
"Lee Xiangyang, I know you look down on me, but don't mock me, okay?" Liao Change said sadly.
"I'm not mocking you. I'm just saying the truth." I suddenly felt that I had misspoken and quickly defended myself.
"You clearly know that I'm not happy with Zhu Cong. He made me look like a person or a ghost, so why are you sprinkling salt on my wound?" Liao Change's tears flowed.
When I saw Liao Change's tearful face, I felt a little ashamed. I hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, I was not thinking properly. I was straightforward and my words hurt you!"
"Pfft!" Liao Change saw that I looked like a big boy and broke her tears into a smile. She said, "It's rare for us to be together. Let's not talk about the sad past. Let's have a drink!"
After saying that, she stood up and walked into the dining room. She took a bottle of whiskey, two bottles of Prabhutaratna and two glasses from the wine cabinet and returned to the living room.
She opened the bottle cap of the red bottle and poured half a glass of red wine into each of the two glasses. She mixed some drinks with it and placed them on the coffee table. Then, she sat back down on the stool opposite me.
"Lee Xiangyang, come, cheers for our reunion!" Liao Change raised her glass and said.
"Cheers!" I picked up the glass on the coffee table and clinked it with the one in her hand. Then, I looked at her curiously.
Liao Change saw that I was staring at her without blinking and felt a little uncomfortable. She was also a little excited.
"Cheers!" In order to hide her emotions, Liao Change aimed the glass at her red lips. She raised her head and drank all the wine in the glass in one breath. She took a tissue from the coffee table and wiped her lips. She said, "Lee Xiangyang, it's your turn. Cheers..."
I realized that I had lost my composure, so I drank all the wine in my cup.
"Chang'e, it's been so many years since we last met. I didn't expect you to change so much. When you drink, it's so refreshing!" I said.
"Is that so? Come, I'll fill it up for you!" Liao Change smiled sweetly. She picked up the red bottle and poured more than half a cup into the two goblets. She poured some drinks into each of the goblets.
Since the two of them used to be classmates in primary school, it was not difficult for them to find common topics to talk about. It was an interesting topic that everyone talked about as a child.
The two of them chatted as they raised their glasses to drink. The atmosphere of drinking was also quite intense.
After drinking a few cups in succession, Liao Change's face was already flushed red. She felt that her body was damp and her heart was excited and somewhat flustered. She could no longer taste the taste of the delicious food that she personally made.
"Didn't you say that the dishes I made are delicious?" Liao Change stood up and helped me put the vegetables into the bowl. She said, "If it is delicious, then eat more!"
"Not bad, very good!" I praised as I ate.
After Liao Change picked up the food and sat back down on the stool, the chopsticks in her hands suddenly fell under the tea table. She bent down and stuck her butt out to pick it up on the floor, revealing a large stretch of spring light in her skirt.
When I saw it, I felt like I was spurting blood.
Liao Change looked up and found that I was looking at her. She looked a little awkward and hurriedly stood up.
