Chapter 45: What a smirk

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when Xu Wenbin came back.

The ribs were simmering in the pot, and the aroma filled the room. He was happy just by smelling it. When he saw Xu Qing sitting on the sofa, he was even happier.

"Come here to pay the rent?"

"No, I'm coming over for dinner."

"..."

Xu Wenbin's happiness was half gone.

"Hurry and wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Zhou Suzhi urged that the meal should be cooked according to the time Xu Wenbin came back in the past few days. He just came back to wash his hands and sit down to start the meal.

"I took a look at the water and electricity bills myself. It's one hundred and thirty in total. I'll transfer them to you together." Xu Qing was no longer poor. He took out his mobile phone and transferred the money to the old man.

"That's not right. You spent nearly three hundred last month, why are you missing more than half this month?" Xu Wenbin washed his hands and looked at Xu Qing in the living room suspiciously.

"Wouldn't you cut it in half for me?" Xu Qing said confidently.

"What's being reduced is the rent, what about water and electricity..."

"Okay, let's just reduce it. It's a hundred dollars, so how can you two be motivated?" Zhou Suzhi came out with the dishes and decided on the outcome of this matter.

I don’t know what kind of evil they have committed, but the father and son have never stopped.

"More than a hundred yuan can buy me another meal of ribs..." Xu Wenbin was angry, wiped his hands and came over to sit down. He looked at Xu Qing who was holding a remote control to adjust the channel, "It's almost the end of the year, where are you at work?"

"My mother asked just now."

"oh."

Just ask, he and Zhou Suzhi are absolutely on the same page on this matter, no need to talk nonsense.

When this kid can no longer afford a girlfriend, he will find a job by himself.

"What else are you fussing over while eating?"

"Come here."

Xu Qing turned the TV to CCTV1, Dian Dian washed her hands and served food.

The pork ribs at home are always the most fragrant. As for why they are fragrant, there is no special skill, it is just that I am used to eating them.

Just bring Jiang He over and try it...

Sitting at the dinner table and smelling the aroma, Xu Qing almost thought about packing, but then she gave it up.

Na Nizi must have already eaten and is working hard overtime to play games.

Thinking of the scene of Jiang He sitting in front of the computer with a serious look on his face while operating characters flying around, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, making Xu Wenbin frown.

"Why are you giggling?"

"Huh?" Xu Qing was stunned, "Did I laugh?"

"..."

Xu Wenbin was too lazy to take care of it, took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Zhou Suzhi and buried himself in eating.

This kid has a demon.

"Ahem... Dad, how is the development of your ruins going?" Xu Qing started chatting.

"That's called an ancient tomb. What kind of relic is it?"

"...I just follow what my mother said."

"What, you're going to steal it after it's developed?" Xu Wenbin glanced at him, "Or do you want to take a look and make it yourself? Don't let me see you tinkering with those Tang Dynasty straw sandals again. Next time I see you, just go to the little boy

Arrest Haozi for you, he won’t do anything serious.”

Okay, Xu Qing doesn’t want to chat anymore.

If you want to tell your father that there is a person in his family who is over a thousand years old, he will probably have to blow up his hair and send him to Nanshan No. 2 Hospital overnight.

"What straw sandals?" Zhou Suzhi was curious and looked at the two of them with her chopsticks.

"Last time I went there, he brought me a broken shoe and told me it was from the Tang Dynasty." When Xu Wenbin talked about this, he still felt a little coke, and turned to Xu Qing and said, "Why didn't you say Liu Bei made it up?"

"..."

Xu Qing carefully chewed the ribs in his bowl.

"Return to Kaiyuan. Is your sword also from Kaiyuan? Oh, you just stay up at night and take a time machine like in the novel and go to the Tang Dynasty to get it, right? It's brand new..."

"Isn't that tatty?"

"You were the one who broke it!" Xu Wenbin glared, "Can breaking and breaking be the same?"

"...I can't put it on, it's too small." Xu Qing shrugged, "Let's just make a joke when we eat. There is no Kaiyuan. If there is any, I will pay it and buy your house directly.

"

"I won't sell you."

"Then I'll buy someone else's house. Your house is haunted, so I don't want to buy it yet."

The friendly discussion continued until the end of the meal. Xu Qing packed up the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash them. Zhou Suzhi took care of the other dishes and bowls.

When I grow up, I always feel a little redundant when I stay at home. There is nothing to do. The whole family talks at the dinner table. After dinner, the scenes of huddled on the sofa watching TV and chatting together are wonderful, but there really aren’t that many of them.

I don’t have much to talk about when I’m free.

It would be better for the old couple to join together on their own, which would create more topics for them to talk about and gossip about the family affairs and interpersonal relationships in the community.

I looked around and saw that there was nothing to do. I saw Xu Wenbin packing his briefcase and taking out a stack of materials into the study room. Xu Qing followed him and took a look. There was a pile of papers that he couldn't understand.

"You should take a rest after get off work. Are you tired of doing all this when you come back?"

"I'm happy, it's better than you doing nothing all day long."

"No wonder my mother goes out to play mahjong every day."

"..."

Xu Wenbin glanced sideways, "Is your skin itchy?"

"Okay, you can study it, I'm going back."

Xu Qing turned around and went out, went to the kitchen to say hello to Zhou Suzhi, and was about to leave when his eyes glanced at a plastic box next to the cupboard and stopped immediately.

Inside the box is a layer of water, a large piece of ginger, and a pile of green leaves.

"Mom, is this ginger?" He looked at the leaf and was a little surprised. There was indeed a large piece of ginger at the bottom of the box.

This thing looks not much worse than Lucky Bamboo, it's pretty good-looking.

"Yeah, I heard that eating this kind of food is good for your health, so I planted one...Hey, what are you doing?" Zhou Suzhi opened his hand.

"Give me half, and I'll take it home and grow it myself."

"It's not expensive to buy it yourself."

"No way...Give me half, it will still grow anyway."

Xu Qing begged for nothing and divided half of the ginger out. He went out to the living room to find a box to put it in. "Is it okay to put some water in it?"

"You can just buy a fresh piece in the supermarket, and it will sprout on its own when you put it in water." Zhou Suzhi waved her hand away, then took out a large piece of ginger from under the table, cut it and threw it into a plastic box, "Just don't worry about it.

"

"Learned it!"

Xu Qing held the ginger and looked around, Jiang Miao... Jiang He... Hey, she must be interested in raising this thing for fun.

Go back and show her... Xu Qing was suddenly stunned.

"What are you doing? It's so late and you're not going back yet?" Zhou Suzhi tidied up the kitchen, turned around and was about to turn off the light when she saw Xu Qingchu thinking about something there.

"..."

Xu Qing looked at his mother, then at the box in his hand, raised his head, thought about it, and said uncertainly: "Mom, I seem to be... in love."

His lips were a little dry and he pursed his lips, not quite sure about what he had discovered.

Feelings come out of the blue like this?

It's a bit sloppy...

"You two live together, what do you mean it seems like?" Zhou Suzhi looked like an old man on the subway with his cell phone, "You don't have a fever, do you?"

"...No, I'm going back first."

Xu Qing said hello, turned around and walked out, "You guys go to bed early and don't let my dad sleep too late."

Are you attracted to a girl from more than a thousand years ago? Still greedy...oh, not greedy, I don't dare to be greedy.

This matter needs to be considered carefully.

Outside, the moon and stars were sparse.

He went all the way downstairs and walked out of the gate of the community. He was blown away by the cool night breeze and suddenly felt chilly. He couldn't help but shrink back and his mind suddenly became much clearer.

Putting his hands in his pockets, he looked up at the night sky. The crescent moon hanging on the horizon was emitting a cold light. Xu Qing took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it, and the looming cold mist slipped away from his mouth.
