Chen Weier's family lived in the bungalow area near Caishikou, it was a typical courtyard house. There was a sewer in the middle of the square yard, there were people on all sides. There was no heater, no indoor toilet, it was extremely simple.
In 1995, Songjiang city didn't have a large scale plan yet, this kind of courtyard house style buildings were everywhere in the bungalow area. Once winter comes, the sewer in the yard would freeze, and the ice would stack layer by layer, it would look like a small iceberg from afar.
"There's no helping it, our family is poor, and can't afford a building," Chen Weier smiled apologetically.
"It's okay, my grandma's family also lives in this kind of courtyard house. I actually feel more comfortable than a building! "I said uncaringly.
"Hehe!" Chen Weier smiled gratefully.
"Dad! Liu Lei came! "Chen Weier opened the door and shouted inside.
"Oh, Weier, quickly bring him inside, it's cold outside!" A man's voice, which was Chen Weier's father, said.
I was just about to change my shoes when Chen Weier waved her hand at me, only then did I remember that this type of bungalow had a concrete floor, so I didn't change my slippers normally.
Chen Weier's family's house wasn't big, there were two rooms, it was only forty something square meters in total, there was a kang in the large room, Chen Weier's father was resting on it. The small room was separated by plywood, Chen Weier and Chen Yong should each have half.
"Sit! Weier, go get some fruits for the guest! "With that, Chen Weier's father was about to sit up.
"Uncle Chen, rest quickly, don't mind me!" I quickly walked over and didn't let Father Chen sit up. Then I turned back and said, "Weier, don't worry, I don't eat fruits."
I knew Weier's family's living situation, it wasn't easy to buy some fruits, it might be for Father Chen to eat, how could I fight with him.
Seeing that I was determined to not let her go, Chen Weier didn't insist, and sat beside Father Chen's bed with me, and talked about her father's condition for a bit. From what I observed, there weren't any signs of rejection, and he was recovering very well, he should be able to fully recover after the new year. Seeing how happy Chen Weier was, I felt like the two hundred something thousand I spent was too worth it!
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Chen Yong and Chen Weier's mother returned home together.
"Liu Lei came over!" Mother Chen said enthusiastically when she saw me.
"Yeah, Weier and I also just arrived," I stood up and took the vegetables and meat from Mother Chen's hands.
"You know our family's situation. We're not afraid of you laughing at us. The money was used to treat Weier's father. We can't treat you to a restaurant. We can only cook at home …" Mother Chen said apologetically.
"It's okay, I'm still willing to eat home-cooked food!" Hearing Mother Chen's words, I sweated profusely in my heart, yesterday I spent four thousand something kuai with Fatty Wu at Heaven on Earth, it was enough for a normal family like Chen Weier to eat for a year.
Chen Yong took out the remaining candied haws and froze them. Then, he entered the house and began to help Mother Chen wash the vegetables and rice.
"Auntie, let me help you," I stood up and said.
"No need, no need! Let Weier stay in the house and talk to you. Da Yong and I will be busy! "Mother Chen quickly waved her hand.
"It's alright, let Wei 'er accompany uncle! I'll help you cook! "Saying that, I followed Mother Chen into the kitchen. Actually, I haven't eaten for a whole day. I'm starving to death. If I help the two of them, I can be a bit faster.
"I'll do this!" I snatched the fish from Mother Chen's hands, and started to scrape the fish scales skillfully.
Chen Yong looked at me in shock, and was confused in his heart, this big boss that can throw away a lot of money actually knows how to clean fish? This is too weird.
I knew what he was thinking, and explained with a smile, "I always cook myself normally," I was telling the truth, I always cooked for myself in Yanjing in my previous life.
Chen Yong nodded, and didn't ask anymore, and started to pick and wash the vegetables. Mother Chen, on the other hand, connected the rice cooker, and started to cook rice.
"Liu Lei, my meimei seems to like you quite a bit!" After a while, Chen Yong took the chance when Mother Chen got up to cut the vegetables, and said softly to me.
"Is that so?" I asked.
"En, she always mentions you to us when she's bored. I'm sure that she already has you in her heart, "Chen Yong said.
I was secretly happy after hearing that. It looks like with Chen Yong the spy in the Chen family, it would be hard for me not to get Chen Weier!
"Da Yong! What nonsense are you talking about there? Did you forget about that thing! " Although Chen Yong's voice was very soft, Mother Chen, who had sharp ears, still heard it clearly, and quickly scolded him.
"Oh!" Chen Yong nodded, and didn't say anything else.
That thing? What thing? From Mother Chen's meaning, she doesn't seem to approve of Chen Weier liking me. Could Chen Yong still be hiding something from me? But I already reserved Chen Weier! I really don't understand.
Furthermore, when I reserved Chen Weier, I told Chen Yong clearly that I won't interfere with her free love, if she really has someone she likes, she just has to tell me, and I won't stop her. But now? What exactly is going on? Could there be some sort of secret?
In the inner room of the Chen family, Father Chen laid on the bed and closed his eyes to rest. Chen Weier picked up the paper bag beside the sofa curiously. What was in it? She didn't see him take anything when school was over, why did a bag randomly appear in his hands after shopping?
Chen Weier carefully opened it to take a look, and momentarily blanked. Wasn't this the white suit she tried on in Lady's Room just now? Why did it appear here? Did he buy it? But what did he buy this for? That's right, he must have seen that it looked good on me, so he bought one for his girlfriend.
But could he have bought it specifically for me? Another voice suddenly rang out in Chen Weier's heart.
Definitely not! Why would he buy clothes for me, he's not my boyfriend! Chen Weier rationally thought.
How do you know he didn't buy it for you? This suit is the most suitable for you! Another voice rang out again.
No, no, how can I think like that! Hurry and put it away for him! Don't let him find out! Chen Weier's rationality once again took over her.
If you don't believe me, open it and see if it's the one you tried on just now! Another voice said again.
En, then let's take a look, there's nothing wrong with taking a look. Chen Weier's heart finally leaned towards that voice.
Chen Weier gently took out the clothes. It was the same size as the one she had just tried on! It can't be, did he really buy it for me? Chen Weier blissfully stroked the fabric of the clothes, this is so expensive! It costs 700 yuan, I'm not his girlfriend, why would he buy it for me? Could it be that he heard me talking to myself at that time? Thinking of this, Chen Weier's face was so red that she wished she could drill into the ground.
"Weier, quickly come and help get the bowls and chopsticks!" Mother Chen shouted in the kitchen.
Chen Weier finally woke up from her shame, hurriedly stuffed the clothes back, put it back in its original shape, and ran to the kitchen.
