Buddy

Going back to the old Xin Zhuo's house for the New Year was a negotiated matter, but sitting in the car, looking at the gifts piled up on the back seat, Chang Tuhao squinted his eyes.

"What are you smirking at?" Old Xin Zhuo was driving the car, looking at Chang Tuhao who was smiling widely from time to time. This guy's smile was a little weird.

Chang Tuhao thought of something, and took out a stack of red envelopes from his pocket, "How much for my nephew? How many nephews do I have? This is my first visit..."

Old Xinzhuo squinted: "Nephew?"

Chang Tuhao quickly wrapped the red envelope, "What's so special about the son-in-law's visit to the house in the first year, I don't understand your rules..."

"son in law?"

Chang Tuhao stopped talking, he didn't take advantage of his body, but he had to take advantage of his spirit.

Old Xinzhuo looked at the red envelopes and pink tickets with red eyes, "one is enough for each person." It's not that he is stingy, he is not an upstart and he doesn't need to give New Year's money like this, some things can be settled without money, and some relationships are not Sustained by money.

"It's always fun to meet in the first year."

"Will come back in the future?"

Chang Tuhao stopped sealing the red envelope, he knew what old Xinzhuo was thinking, his parents were not far away, this is a filial son.But he wants to go overseas, and his career has just developed. Even if he goes overseas and does not open a design company, but opens a coffee shop to pass the time, his money cannot afford to support the old Xin Zhuo and his children, but the old Xin Zhuo is not a person who is content with pleasure .

Old Xinzhuo: "Wait a few more years." When he is stable and his parents have settled their minds, he will say, "What's wrong with the country? A piece of torn paper can't protect anything. Parents are old, and it's really hard to get out."

Chang Tuhao nodded, and said stubbornly: "Actually, you can also buy a piece of land outside. Parents can plant it if they want to plant it, and if they don't want to plant it, hire someone to plant it. If it's not good enough, buy it and grow grass."

Old Xinzhuo shook his head, "You should save some money for retirement."

Chang Tuhao twitched his lips and said, "We have a son!"

Old Xinzhuo just sighed, "It's not very reliable to raise a child to guard against old age."

Chang Tuhao: "Why is our son so poor?"

Old Xin Zhuo didn't answer, but just looked at the gray sky. Is he and Chang Tuhao's children really not bad?Looking at Chang Tuhao who was smiling and muttering non-stop, old Xinzhuo laughed, how could their son be so bad.

When Chang Tuhao saw the baby in the green cotton pouch, the corners of his eyes twitched.

"This is... a dog egg?" Chang Tuhao never thought that with such a tasteful self, his son would look like a bumpkin.Green flower homemade cloth pockets, green flower padded jacket, crotch pants revealing monkey buttocks, maybe because the baby didn't apply cream, the fleshy cheeks are like two big apples that have turned red from freezing.

The baby can't walk yet, but he is curious about everything. The old mother has to hold him for a walk every day. Chang Tuhao bought a stroller for the old mother, but the old mother didn't use it. The shed on the top will block the view, and the child will not want to lie down.

Chang Tuhao walked over slowly, reached out and pinched the long ears of the baby's blue rabbit hat, "It's so festive."

The old mother hugged the baby and was reluctant to let go. "This year, the cotton newly harvested by your uncle's house is soft and warm. The homespun cloth I bought is not good-looking, but it is much better than chemical fiber, and it will not hurt the skin."

The old mother chattered non-stop.Old Xin Zhuo was carrying boxes of things from the car, and seeing Chang Tuhao standing beside him in a daze, he kicked him, "Give me a hand."

Chang Tuhao patted the ashes on his trouser legs, helped move the presents into the main room, and muttered in a low voice: "Today I figured out that a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. This is true." Can you calm down when you see your great-grandson?

Old Xinzhuo glanced at Master Chang, "Is it not well raised?"

Chang Tuhao shook his head hastily, "How could it be! This small body is really strong..." He was so fat that his big eyes were narrowed into slits, and the flesh on his cheeks drooped down, so fleshy that he wanted to pinch it.

The old mother waved Chang Tuhao's hand away, "Go and wash your hands, the baby's skin is tender, the first few days are not acclimatized, and there are small bumps..."

The baby's bright black eyes didn't even glance at his biological father, and he drank milk with a big milk bottle, his small squinted eyes drooped, sucking and sucking, and his cheeks were bulging.

Chang Tuhao grinned at old Xin Zhuo.His own son can't be hugged anymore, he doesn't dislike the little country bun, but the little bun actually dislikes him.He was cheap, and he wanted to pinch Xiaobao's ass when he stretched out his hand, but he touched the back of the old mother's hand.

The old mother glared at Chang Tuhao, then shook her head helplessly, "The boss is not young, really..."

Chang Tuhao sneered, turned around and left, his ears were red.This molested the mother-in-law, so he won't be kicked out.

The old father came in with a thermos bottle, and Chang Tuhao hurried over to take it, opened his mouth, and wanted to call "Dad", but seeing that his face was stretched, and his wrinkles seemed to be flattened, he immediately put the two The word swallowed back.

Old Xinzhuo finished carrying the presents, and came over with a washbasin, "I don't know how to call someone?"

Chang Tuhao grinned and smirked at his old father for a long time before shouting, "Dad, Mom."

The old father nodded, with a few wrinkles on his elongated face, he said to the old Xin Zhuo: "This year we will have a reunion dinner at our house, you go and see the dishes, and buy anything else."

"Our family?" Old Xinzhuo was a little puzzled.There are big rules here, where the old man is, all the children and juniors will go to that house for reunion dinner, and when the old man is gone, they usually go to the old man's house.Old Xinzhuo's grandparents passed away a long time ago, and there is no elder in the family, but his uncle is still there, so it's his turn to hold a reunion dinner at home.

"The family was supposed to go to your uncle's house this year, but didn't you say you would come back for the New Year? Our family has imported people this year, so we have to show it and let Xiaochang recognize them." The old mother said, patting the baby on the back.The old couple said to the outside world that this is Xin Zhuo's godson, and the old father went into the back room without saying anything.

Chang Tuhao was washing his face, holding a towel and looking at old Xin Zhuo in a daze, what does this mean?Could it be that this is a matter of admitting him and old Xinzhuo?

Old Xinzhuo hurriedly shouted: "Dad, Xiao Chang bought new clothes for you and Mom."

Chang Tuhao wiped his face indiscriminately, and ran in with his bag.

The inner room was a little dark, and the old father didn't turn on the light. He was looking for something in the closet, and after a while, he handed over a red envelope, "Here."

Chang Tuhao didn't dare to reach out to take it, he didn't know the meaning of the red envelope.

The old father's hand tremblingly hung in the air, "Hold it."

Old Xin Zhuo came in, saw the situation and quickly said: "Take what Dad gives you."

"Thank you." Chang Tuhao took the red envelope, which was very light and not very thick. He didn't open it afterwards and kept it there.No matter how much money is in it, it is all the thoughts of the old man.

They came back at 29, and had a hasty meal at night. The old mother carried the baby to their room with great reluctance, and gave them careful instructions for a long time before returning to the room reluctantly.

Chang Tuhao lay on the bed, poking the baby's face meanly, but the baby didn't cry, his cheeks trembled with joy, he grabbed Chang Tuhao's finger and put it in his mouth.

Old Xinzhuo slapped Chang Tuhao's hand off, "Father is also doing it for your own good, and everyone will be able to save face if they recognize his son."

During the dinner, the old father said that he would admit his son. Although it has nothing to do with other people who Xinzhuo chooses to live with, the older generation can't see it after all. The family can accept this matter, but how many relatives can bear it? Old Xinzhuo doesn't go home often, but the old couple intends to live in their hometown for the elderly. The window paper is easy to poke, but it is very troublesome to repair.

"It's good to be able to do this." The pragmatic Chang Tuhao said happily.What else could he ask for, the guy who has been thinking about it for so many years has finally gotten started, and he doesn't bother with a bad reputation.

Chang Tuhao knew that his parents in his hometown were against him, and that old Xin Zhuo was a good person, so he ruined him, but he didn't regret it. He apologized to the old man, but he would never let go.

Chang Tuhao moved the baby lying between the two of them, and Chang Tuhao stretched his legs to rub against the old Xin Zhuo. Xin Zhuo glanced at him and said lightly: "The walls are not soundproof, you can bear it?"

Chang Tuhao pursed his lips, and looked at the baby who had closed his eyes, feeling itchy but the current environment is not good.

The baby fell asleep after a while, his skin was tender and smelled of milk, his round face was pink, and his small mouth was also red.

Chang Tuhao didn't sleep well all night, worried that the quilt would cover the baby, or roll over and crush him, so he was careful not to let himself fall asleep.

The next day, I had dark circles under my eyes to meet customers.Fortunately, he is a fine person and has a sweet mouth. No matter what the other party thinks, he followed the old Xinzhuo to call someone. In less than half an hour, he became familiar with several elders.

The few brothers of the same generation don't talk much, and they are all honest and down-to-earth people.Hearing that Chang Tuhao graduated from a famous university and had stayed abroad, he is a capable person, he started his own company, and is the boss of his most promising cousin.

The aunts wanted to help in the kitchen, but today it was Lao Xinzhuo who was cooking for the reunion dinner, but was stopped by the old mother to tease the baby together.

Chang Tuhao ran into the kitchen and quietly stole a piece of spare ribs. The pork ribs were slaughtered by relatives a few years ago. The quality of the meat was different from the ones sold in the vegetable market. Although there was a lot of fat, the taste was very fragrant, and the fat was absorbed by the dried beans. , The vegetables are mixed with the taste of meat, and Chang Tuhao couldn't stop his mouth after eating a piece.

Old Xin Zhuo shook his head when he saw this, "Mr. Chang, what about it?"

Chang Tuhao smiled, and walked over to help Lao Xinzhuo roll up his sleeves, "The ones sold outside are not as delicious as those made at home."

Old Xinzhuo took a look at Chang Tuhao, stretched out his greasy fingers and pinched Chang Tuhao, "I will retire in the future, let my sons do it for us."

Chang Tuhao nodded and smiled faintly.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Take out the dishes, and the new wife will come to the door. If you behave well, you might even get a few red envelopes." Old Xin Zhuo kicked Chang Tuhao, urging him.

"Who is the daughter-in-law!"

Old Xinzhuo didn't make a sound, looking at the soup in the pot.Chang Tuhao was speechless, obediently picked up the food and went out.

The house was full of guests, unlike the people at previous gatherings, there was no hypocritical language, only plain words, these people would be his relatives, Chang Tuhao smiled, narrowing his pretty phoenix eyes.

"Hey, this child really looks like his father, and he has squinted eyes when he smiles." The aunt said.

"Auntie, this is called Fengyan, and it looks good." Old Xin Zhuo came over with soup, and called Chang Tuhao to take a seat, and held Chang Tuhao's with the hand under the table.

Chang Tuhao blushed immediately, and raised his glass to toast the elders.He is just a stranger to these people, but with old Xinzhuo, he will become a member of this big family one day, and that day will not be too far away.
