Loving You is My Most Terrible Bitter - C38
Some things he had not had the time to deliver and were carried upstairs with him. I rummaged around until I found an inconspicuous Maotai wineskin. He opened it and saw that there were two bottles of brown wine inside. It was not that eye-catching, since the last time he drank with that mister, he seemed to have drunk the same thing.
This was probably it. I quietly went downstairs with the wine, afraid that my father would notice.
“That’s it, isn’t it?”
Lu Chen received it and looked at it under the light. He nodded his head in satisfaction and said, “I’ll go back and pay An Zhe more.” Just to make up for his arrest at the hospital.
Chai Anzhe must have done something good by accident. Mama called for dinner in the kitchen. Dad was already sitting at the table, swinging a bottle of wine in his hand.
“Uncle, I brought some wine for you. Would you like to try it?” It’s just a little gift from me. ”
My father’s expression changed. His hand paused for a moment, and when he saw me looking at him, he nodded without saying anything. Lu Chen leaned against him and sat down.
When I brought the dishes over, the aroma of wine was already filling the room. My father held the bottle in his hand like a gem, his face full of love and heartache, and I knew exactly what he had done for me.
“His mother looked at him and knocked on the table. She always said that her father had been delayed for the rest of his life because of the word ‘wine’.” Old Mu, it’s time to eat. ”
Dad reluctantly put down the bottle and looked at the wine that had already been poured into the cup. He sighed, “What a waste. Drinking one bottle less than one bottle.”
I smiled at Lu Chen, who gave me the proper gift. After a few cups, the old man said that he wanted to keep the wine, so naturally, Lu Chen had to go along with him. After drinking Lu Chen’s wine, it was as light as water. The Old Master had to give up on the idea of drinking Lu Chen to death.
“What treasure did Little Lu give your dad? It’s like he’s been drugged.” Mom could not help but ask when she was washing the dishes.
“I don’t know. He didn’t tell me.” I shook my head.
After the meal, they chatted for a few days. Although his father still had a cold expression on his face, it was obvious that his attitude towards Lu Chen had become a lot more amiable.
As I went upstairs, I saw that Lu Chen was clutching his stomach and feeling uncomfortable.
“Lu Chen, what’s wrong with you?” Does your stomach hurt? ”
“There’s one thing. It’s not very serious.”
“Wait a moment, I’ll go get the medicine for you.” Who knows if he’s pretending not to be serious, but he can’t go back to the hospital. I trotted downstairs.
I ran to the door of my parents’ room and was about to knock on it when I heard my father cursing from inside.
“A capitalist, a capitalist! He drank fifty years of Maotai with just a meal. He really doesn’t know what’s good for him.”
“He didn’t steal nor snatch it. I can’t stop your mouth even if I buy you some wine to drink.” Mom answered.
“Why can’t I say anything? You tricked my girl away, so you won’t let me say anything.” Through the door, I could see the old man blowing his beard and glaring at me.
“You can just do your best. What do you think we should do if they ignore you?”
The old man sighed, “He looks like a good person, but he’s a bit old.”
Lu Chen was over 30 years old, so he couldn’t be considered old. But if I look at him carefully, he’s actually older than me by more than ten years.
“Big so what? For a man to be a bit bigger and steadier, and to love his wife. ”
“Even though he said that, Yan’er acted like a child in front of him. “Furthermore, his family is so good. If Yan’Er suffers, we won’t be able to help her.”
“Don’t worry about it blindly. Descendants will have their own blessings.”
“I …”
I couldn’t bear to listen any longer. I raised my hand and knocked on the door. In the world, there are many parents who want to buy a woman, but my parents really plan for me.
“Dad, mom, Lu Chen’s stomach isn’t feeling well. Let me get some medicine.”
Hearing the door open, Mom asked while looking for medicine, “Are you alright? If you can’t, then go to the hospital. It’s a good thing your dad didn’t drink with him today. ”
“Two or three drinks and you’re not feeling well. It’s no use.” His father helped him find the medicine, muttering nonstop.
When I closed the door, I heard a small commotion coming from inside. I guessed that the two of them were going to make a big fuss for the rest of the night.
I poured a glass of water and handed it to him, smiling. “I went down and heard my father say you were a capitalist.”
He swallowed the medicine and drank another sip of water before smiling and saying, “Money is a capitalist, and if you don’t have money, then you’re a poor kid. I’m the bad guy who robbed his daughter, so it’s normal that he doesn’t have anything good to say to me. ”
I didn’t think Lu Chen was so interesting before, so I smiled and exchanged a few words with him before returning to my room to sleep.
It was drizzling at night, and the spring rain was unending. Once it started, it would not be easy to stop. In the morning, he woke up and pushed open the window to see a distant mountain shrouded in misty water vapor. No matter how long he stayed in the city, he still felt that his home was the best.
“Your dad wants to go fishing, do you want to ask Little Lu if he wants to go?” her mother asked, looking up from the courtyard.
“Alright.”
I put on my shoes and went next door. I knocked on the door and asked, “Dad’s going fishing. Are you going?”
This was the first time I called him to get out of bed. “You come in first.”
When I entered the room, he was sitting blankly on the bed with his hair in a mess. He looked at me with wide eyes and yawned. “I want to go, but I don’t know how to fish.”
I always thought he was omnipotent. “Didn’t you go fishing with your dad when you were a kid?”
“My dad had been busy all this time, and then he got sick and just got bored. But he passed away very quickly.” He acted like he didn’t care, but I could feel his faint sense of loss. I could see him a long, long time ago, a little boy, waiting every day for Dad to come home and play with him.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know.”
He smiled and rubbed his face with the blanket, “It’s fine. At least I can go fishing with dad now.” If I wanted to, my father would be his.
“Alright, my dad will definitely teach you.”
I ran downstairs excitedly, and my mom shared the good news. My dad was playing with his fishing rod as he said neither hot nor cold, “Who said that I would teach him?”
His mother glared at him in dissatisfaction. “You really have no conscience. Yesterday, when you went to sleep, you were still yelling about how great the wine was …”
The old man couldn’t help but wave at them after he had been exposed. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll teach you guys. I’m scared of you mother and son.”
Everything had gone perfectly as planned. Not long after, Lu Chen also came downstairs, preparing to leave after breakfast. Lu Chen took a sip of the porridge, but before he could finish praising my mother’s craftsmanship, the phone beside his hand rang.
“Sorry about the company.” He put down his chopsticks and went out to answer the phone.
I looked through the window. His brow was slightly furrowed and his face was cool. Wearing my old clothes and pants, standing in front of my father’s flower bed, everything was so real that I almost forgot he was the president.
