Four years single, three years widowed

It is said that a nephew looks like an uncle, and it is true that this saying applies to the Duan family.

Cheng Ning is 15 years old this year, and his child has his own opinions. From the first time he saw Li Can, no matter how his parents coaxed him, Duan Wenzheng tried to coax him, he insisted on calling Li Can his brother.

Shouting and shouting, I got used to shouting.Cheng Ning didn't want to change his words, but as he got older, he changed the name of Li Can from elder brother to elder brother Can.

"The person who will be promoted to a freshman in the second half of the year is still yelling, no matter how big or small." Duan's mother reprimanded softly.

Cheng Ning didn't care much, put his hands on Li Can's shoulders, and said, "Grandma, brother Can is so young, calling him uncle doesn't make him old?"

Glancing at Cheng Ning's hand on his shoulder, Li Can said, "I don't mind."

"Look, grandma!" Cheng Ning raised his eyebrows and smiled triumphantly, "Brother Can doesn't mind if I call him brother."

"I mean..." Li Can took his hand off calmly, "I don't mind if you call me uncle."

Hearing this, Duan's mother couldn't help laughing, and was about to say something more when she heard Duan's father in the kitchen calling her over.

"Here we come!" Duan's mother responded, and before leaving, she did not forget to tease Cheng Ning, "Why don't you call uncle soon?"

Cheng Ning curled his lips and muttered in a low voice, "Why are you calling me uncle? You have to call me aunt if you want to..."

The lens was cold, and Li Can's tone was dangerous: "What did you say?"

"No, it's nothing." Cheng Ning hurriedly laughed, "By the way, Brother Can, the massage chair you bought for grandpa has arrived."

A dark brown leather massage chair was placed in the corner of the living room, and the plastic film wrapped outside was intact and had not been disassembled.

"When did you arrive?" Li Can stepped forward.

"This morning."

Li Can nodded and asked, "Didn't you try it?"

"Grandpa is afraid that I will break it, so he won't let me touch it." Cheng Ning said aggrievedly.

The corners of his lips rose slightly, Li Can turned around and asked Cheng Ning: "Do you want to try?"

Cheng Ning's eyes lit up: "I want to!"

"Then help." Li Can pulled up the plastic film.

With Li Can speaking, Cheng Ning is naturally not afraid of Duan's father being held accountable.They quickly removed the outer packaging, and the new massage chair has a faint leather smell, which is not too bad.

Li Can squatted down, inserted the plug into the socket, and pressed the power switch: "Sit up."

Cheng Ning immediately took off his slippers, and happily sat on the massage chair. On his left, there was a control panel with various options.

Click any item at random, and the massage chair slowly tilts back. Cheng Ning feels the back, waist and buttocks and other body parts, kneading and hammering comfortably, and arches his eyebrows and eyes happily.

"Are you comfortable?" Li Can asked.

Cheng Ning had a look of enjoyment, and replied, "Excellent!"

This massage chair is really good, Li Can also tried it in the store that day, and without any hesitation afterwards, he decided to pay for it.

"Brother Can, come, let me give you a feel." Cheng Ning did not forget the well digger when he drank water, and he was about to stand up.

"No, you sit down."

Cheng Ning stood up for a moment, and then showed a row of big white teeth: "Then I will continue."

It's a pity that just after he finished speaking, the doorbell rang suddenly, followed by Father Duan's loud voice: "Cheng Ning, go and open the door!"

The smile on his face suddenly collapsed, Cheng Ning reluctantly replied: "Oh..."

"I'll go." Li Can kindly accepted his task, turned around and walked towards the gate.

Turning the doorknob to pull it in, Li Can saw someone coming, and his expression softened: "Sister, brother-in-law."

"Hey, Cancan, you're here so early." Duan Wenxin had her fashionable slightly curly hair permed at some point, making her look younger and more fashionable than before.

"I just arrived too." Li Can stood aside and let them in.

Cheng Jiaxiang followed Duan Wenxin, raised a bag of fruit in his hand, and enthusiastically said to Li Can, "Eat the fruit."

Li Can wanted to laugh a little, took the bag with one hand, and pointed to the fruit he brought on the table with the other: "There are so many fruits, I don't know how long it will take to eat."

Cheng Jiaxiang looked in the direction he pointed, and immediately laughed: "Haha, there is a connection in the heart, there is a connection in the heart."

Freeing her feet from the high heels, Duan Wenxin let out a "huh" and asked, "When did you add something big to your family?"

Her gaze was fixed on the massage chair in the living room. It was obvious that the "big piece" she was referring to was the massage chair.

Cheng Ning didn't get up, and lay down calmly, answering Duan Wenxin's question: "This is Brother Can's birthday present to Grandpa."

"Cancan, did you spend a lot of money?" Duan Wenxin frowned slightly.

Putting the fruit that Cheng Jiaxiang handed him on the table, Li Can said, "It didn't cost much."

Duan Wenxin is not a child, she knows how much such a massage chair is worth, at least tens of thousands.

"It's too expensive." Duan Wenxin disagreed.

Li Can smiled at her: "No."

"Mom, let me tell you, Brother Can is worth the money." Cheng Ning jumped up, "It's very comfortable, if you don't believe me, try it."

Duan Wenxin rolled his eyes at him: "Are you willing to get up now? Didn't you see your dad carrying so many things just now? You don't know how to come and help, you just know how to enjoy yourself, you heartless little bastard!"

Cheng Ning was used to being scolded and scolded, so he had a thick skin, and said, "Don't scold me, come over and try the massage chair."

He dragged Duan Wenxinsheng to the front of the massage chair, insisting that she sit down and try, but Duan Wenxin refused no matter how much he persuaded her.

Using Cheng Ning and Duan Wenxin's verbal battle as the background sound, Li Can looked at the two big bags of fruit in front of him, and decided to take advantage of Duan Wenxin and his family to wash them out and ask them to help Duan's parents and Duan's parents get rid of some.

The kitchen door was closed tightly, and Cheng Jiaxiang entered the kitchen first. He didn't know what happened after he entered, but Duan's father could be heard arguing with him through the door.

When Li Can opened the door, their argument did not stop, but fortunately, Li Can understood why they were arguing.

It's not a big deal, it's just that before Cheng Jiaxiang came, he bought several cooked dishes to add to today's dinner.

But Duan's father had already prepared a lot of dishes, and a person's stomach is only so big. If there were too many dishes, he couldn't eat them at all, so he asked Cheng Jiaxiang to take them home.

"Dad, I've bought everything here. Look at this..." Cheng Jiaxiang looked embarrassed, with a box of roast duck in his left hand and a box of cold chicken feet in his right.

"No, no." Father Duan waved his hands impatiently.

Cheng Jiaxiang had no choice but to back down: "Then, I won't take it back. Can I put it in the refrigerator for you first? When you want to eat, take it out and eat it."

"We don't want it." Duan's father still firmly refused, "We don't like to eat the things you bought, you take them back to Cheng Ning, doesn't he like to eat them?"

The two of them stood by the stove a little further inside, while Duan's mother stood by the sink near the door, calmly cleaning the razor clams in the plastic basket.

Sensing the movement, Mother Duan turned to look at Li Can: "Cancan, why did you come in?"

"I'll take a fruit plate." Li Can replied.

Father Duan, who was arguing with Cheng Jiaxiang, finally noticed Li Can, his expression changed, and he asked very kindly: "Are you hungry, Cancan?"

Duan's father is tall and strong. He was also a policeman before he retired. He usually looks very serious. If he behaves a little more fiercely, it will be enough to bring a certain sense of oppression to others.

But facing Li Can at this moment, Duan's father not only had a gentle expression on his face, but also seemed to have a gentle tone in his tone.

"No." Li Can shook his head, "I'll just come in and get a fruit plate and wash some fruit."

"Oh, the fruit plate, right?" Father Duan opened the cupboard, took out the fruit plate, and handed it to Li Can, "Dinner is almost ready, eat less, or you won't be able to eat later."

"Understood, Dad." Li Can stretched out his hand to take it.

He originally planned to get the fruit plate and go out, but Cheng Jiaxiang's look of asking for help was impossible to ignore.

Pausing in his tracks, Li Can pursed his lips, pretended to look curiously at the cooked food in Cheng Jiaxiang's hand, and asked knowingly, "What delicious food did my brother-in-law buy?"

Seeing him extending a helping hand, Cheng Jiaxiang beamed with joy, and was about to introduce to Li Can when Duan's father took the lead and said, "How many cooked dishes do you want to eat?"

After hesitating for two seconds, Li Can nodded: "En."

Immediately opening the cupboard again, Duan's father said to Li Can while taking the plate: "If you want to eat, just say so, what's so embarrassing at home?"

Li Can heard it in his ears, warmed his heart, and smiled slightly.

"Jiaxiang, put everything you bought on a plate." Father Duan ordered Cheng Jiaxiang rudely.

"Oh, good." Cheng Jiaxiang cast a grateful look at Li Can, and began to work contentedly.

The treatment of Cheng Jiaxiang and Li Can was very different. He was helping in the kitchen until the meal, and no one said that the kitchen was full of oily smoke, so he should be driven out to breathe fresh air.

At 07:30 in the evening, the round dining table is full of more than ten dishes, and everyone sits together to form a circle.

Cheng Jiaxiang opened a bottle of wine, poured the red one for Li Can, Father Duan, and himself.

Duan's mother doesn't drink at all, and Cheng Ning is underage. As for Duan Wenxin, she can drink, but she and Cheng Jiaxiang have discussed it a long time ago, and she will be responsible for driving home tonight.

Li Can didn't intend to drink at first, but Cheng Jiaxiang was too good at persuading him, so he finally drank some.

Although he is not drunk, the car must not be able to drive. Li Can was thinking of ordering a substitute driver after dinner, when Duan's mother told him to sleep here at night.

The room that Duan Wenzheng slept in before was very clean and cleaned all the time, just put bedding on it.

Li Can thought for a while, and finally agreed.

After dinner, Duan Wenxin helped Duan's mother clean up the mess, and Cheng Ning dragged Li Can to show Duan's father how to use the massage chair.

Cheng Jiaxiang tried his best to persuade him to drink, and also to drink, his face was flushed, and he sat on the chair with his forehead resting on his back.

Later, he dozed off unknowingly, so frightened that Duan Wenxin called Cheng Ning as soon as he came out of the kitchen, and pulled Cheng Jiaxiang up to leave.

She was afraid that Cheng Jiaxiang would close his eyes and fall asleep. At that time, she and Cheng Ning would have to work hard to get him home.

After sending Duan Wenxin and the others away, Li Can was urged by Duan's mother to take a bath like a child because he had to go to work tomorrow.

Duan's house has two bathrooms, one in the room of Duan's father and Duan's mother. Li Can came out of the shower and found that Duan's father hadn't returned to his room, standing alone on the balcony, puffing.

"Dad..." Li Can called out.

Duan's father turned his head: "Have you finished washing?"

"Well, you should rest early."

The half-burned cigarette was caught between his fingers, and Duan's father suddenly said: "Ah Zheng called me this morning." He raised the corner of his mouth, "I wonder how this brat can still remember my birthday! Then He told me that you reminded him."

"He's just like this, not interested in remembering these things." Li Can helped Duan Wenzheng speak, "He can't remember anyone's birthday."

Father Duan shook his head while laughing: "I don't think I can remember..."

"Since he was transferred to other places three years ago, he has called us every year, saying that September [-] is your birthday, so remember to celebrate your birthday."
