Coming back from the uncle's house, Wang Cheng felt comfortable. He picked the expensive box for this reason, the aunt and grandparents were so arrogant, a box of moon cake would hurt their face. Why not let a thing such as their face never exist if they wanted to think so blindly.
"Naughty." Mama Wang noticed it for the first time, and glared at him when they came out, but there was no blame in words. It was inconceivable to her because of her identity, but it was just because of her status that she couldn't do anything.
Wang Cheng hugged his mother's arm with a smile. "Mom, it's none of my business. I just sent a box of moon cakes to my aunt, I didn’t do anything."
"Kid, would you say that to adults? Anyway, they are your aunt and grandma. This kind of thing can be done at home, but you are not allowed to talk like that outside." Mama Wang laughed and cursed.
"I know, I have a sense of size."
The mother and son went away with a smile.
They didn't take this matter to heart, but the first auntie’s mind was terrible. In her eyes, Wang Cheng's family was never taken seriously. Even the rumored Fengxia Mountain incident in July and August failed to change her. Although the idea seemed to be true, there was no evidence, so the family did not believe that Wang Cheng was really the owner of Fengxia Mountain.
After the uncle Wang Hongwei came back, first auntie told him about it, but he took it for granted. He only said that she was fussy and that a box of moon cakes didn't mean anything.
"Ningkai will be back tomorrow, and his girlfriend will come with us for the Mid-Autumn Festival. You give me a break, don't do extra things, and also cooperate with our parents, so as not to give Ningkai's girlfriend a bad impression." Wang Hongwei urged.
As soon as she heard that, Wang Cheng's mother and son were left behind. The girlfriend the son had made was a golden sister, rich, and they all wanted the son to marry her, so they were very careful.
It had been two months since Wang Ningkai's relationship with his girlfriend was established, and their relationship had been stable until now. One month ago, Wang Ningkai proposed to bring his girlfriend back to see his parents, but his girlfriend refused, and later he mentioned it several times. His girlfriend did not agree, until this Mid-Autumn Festival when the girlfriend finally gave a nod. Wang Ningkai’s family was very happy, especially his mother.
Li Shi has waited for this day for a long time. She originally wanted to quickly renovate the new house and then move to the new house, so that they could give a better impression to their future daughter-in-law. How could this day come so fast?
Their new house was bigger than Wang Cheng's, so the renovation took a longer time. Even if the speed was now accelerated, it would take another month to move in. If they failed to wait, they would have to wash the house inside and out and clean it up again.
Tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there would be many people who scrambled to open their doors, things would spread.
In the afternoon, it came to the ears of Wang Cheng and his parents. The second auntie may be full of jealousy, envy, and hatred, but Wang Cheng didn’t care about it at all. Wang Ningkai wasn’t really married, and even if they met his parents in the relationship, there were variables. No one would know the result until the end.
After Papa Wang came back with the pig, neither Wang Cheng nor Mama Wang told him what happened in the uncle's house when delivering moon cakes, only saying that they had delivered the box of moon cakes. Papa Wang asked Wang Cheng to go to the second uncle's house to deliver moon cakes but Wang Cheng didn't want to go. Mama Wang asked him to take care of the house and the mini pig, then went out with Papa Wang.
In fact, they didn’t have to send mooncakes to the eldest and the second uncle. They sent them for the grandparents. Since they had already sent them, they couldn’t send just one, otherwise Zhang (second auntie) would have something to say.
After the ceramic tile incident, Zhang once threatened to find the perpetrator to make them ‘look good’, but they had not been found after so many days. They knew that the loss could only be eaten by themselves. Zhang was angry with them for several days, so Wang Cheng didn’t want to see Zhang and Wang Ningxiang.
Papa Wang and Mama Wang returned without staying at the second uncle's house for too long. They didn't mention it, but Wang Cheng also guessed that Zhang was much more mean than Li (first auntie), and her mouth was unobstructed.
In the evening, after watching the TV with his parents until ten o'clock, Wang Cheng went back to his room to sleep.
The routine of their family was relatively regular, and Mama Wang did not approve of their children staying up late, so they had strict requirements on the children at home since childhood, especially when they were growing up.
Because there was no light on Fengxia Mountain, as soon as the sky was dark, the whole temple was darkened. The black and dark monsters at night were so scary. Usually, he did not have to remind himself to go back to his room to sleep. This habit had been retained to this day.
Wang Cheng was lying on the bed, thinking of Yuan Xia while facing the open window. After arriving here, he had hardly thought about the matter with Chu Yifeng. He remembered what Yuan Xia had said to him. In retrospect, his relationship with Chu Yifeng was actually not as simple as he thought. Putting aside these worries, Wang Cheng soon fell asleep. The mobile phone was placed on the table under the window. The screen flashed with a faint light, but it went dark soon.
On September 27th, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival finally arrived.
Early in the morning, the Guan’s Village was lively. There were spectacles of children playing around everywhere. Some ran directly near the window of Wang Cheng's room. They laughed and woke him up without him waking on his own.
There were burritos and eggs left by Mama Wang on the dining table, and porridge in the pot. The couple took the little fragrant pig out early in the morning. The family was very busy during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After breakfast, Wang Cheng went to the door. A young mother in the neighborhood was walking with her son who was just three years old. She saw Wang Cheng, and the young mother nodded at him with a smile. With the simplicity of the village, not everyone was like Zhang Ye or Er Niang (Wang Niangxing). There were actually more good people in the village.
Wang Cheng went out for a walk, and met Guan Sanye who was at their house yesterday, along with her neighbor. People were not bad, just loved a little gossip. This was probably the nature of most women. It was only once stunned by Mama Wang yesterday that she came to Wang Cheng again today.
"Why are you still here, Wang Cheng?"
‘Why can’t I be here?’ Wang Cheng wondered, but didn't show it. "Is there anything wrong with auntie?"
Guan Sanye laughed and said, "It seems you don't know yet. Your uncle's home is lively today. Two cars were parked in front of the house, and they said that your eldest cousin brought his rich girlfriend back. Everyone ran to go and watch, your second uncle and second auntie also passed by. "
"Oh, I already know about this." Wang Cheng thought about what she said, go and watch the rich girlfriend? Where is the logic?
Seeing that he had no curiosity at all, Guan Sanye felt bored in her heart, so she changed the topic and said, "Wang Cheng, your cousin has found a girlfriend. When will you find a wife for your parents?"
"My elder brother isn't married yet. I'm not in a hurry. If there is nothing else for auntie to say, I'll go first."
Wang Cheng felt that if she continued to talk, she would be able to talk all the way to his ancestor in the eighteenth generation. In addition, this kind of thing was also a matter of concern for his parents. He was not interested in providing gossip for her.
Back home, Papa Wang and Mama Wang had not yet returned home.
Wang Cheng forgot to bring his mobile phone when he went out. When he took it out of the room, there were already several text messages on the phone. Some of them were festival blessing text messages sent by Yuan Xia and other colleagues. None of them were sent to him by Chu Yifeng.
As soon as the idea rose, Wang Cheng rolled his eyes. He was an idiot. Why should Chu Yifeng send a text message to him? Why did he hold on to this idea? He responded to Yuan Xia and the others one by one. Some colleagues copied congratulations paragraphs from online. It was quite fresh for the first time. Wang Cheng simply forwarded the snippet to another colleague and passed it on. One was accidentally passed to Chu Yifeng.
He wanted to take it back, but the mobile phone had already prompted the success of the transmission.
Wang Cheng patted his forehead, ‘Forget it if Chu Yifeng won’t respond.’ He told him that he missed him, and after a while, Chu Yifeng still did not reply. Wang Cheng felt more and more felt nervous while waiting for Chu Yifeng's reply.
Papa Wang and Mama Wang came back and saw their second son sitting on the sofa in the living room staring at the mobile phone on the coffee table.
"What is this kid doing?” Papa Wang wondered.
"It's obvious that he’s waiting for someone else's phone call." Mama Wang saw it at a glance, and sighed after thinking about it. "It's better if it's a woman."
Papa Wang laughed and didn't dare to answer. As a couple who had been together for decades, he knew that his wife was stimulated by the situation of his eldest brother’s house. Although they didn't go to the brother's house deliberately, it was passed on to their ears after listening to others.
Wang Cheng did not wait for Chu Yifeng's reply. Instead, he waited for Wei Dandan's blessing. Instead of texting, the girl called him directly. The topics were basically introduced by Wei Dandan. The two talked for more than ten minutes before he hung up the phone.
Papa Wang just came over and asked, "Who called?"
"My classmate."
"Isn't that the one called Dandan from last time?" Papa Wang felt blessed in his heart.
As soon as Wang Cheng looked at his expression, he knew that his father definitely was thinking crookedly and wanted to deny it, but it was a fact. He nodded vaguely. "It's her. She gave me blessings for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Okay." Papa Wang smiled, his face blossoming.
"Dad, it's not what you think ..." Wang Cheng was helpless.
The words were interrupted by the sudden unexpected guest. The visitor was Wang Cheng's first aunt. The festival was now in full swing, but there was still an ugly expression from yesterday’s incident. This time she came to tell them that the uncle invited relatives to eat tonight at a restaurant, and they must be present.
The father and son immediately forgot about the previous topic.
