"What's the good news?" Huo Mien was curious.
"I'll tell you in a bit. Let's eat first." Wei Dong purposely beat around the bush.
Huo Mian took a closer look at Wei Dong. He was no longer as down and out as he was the other day.
His white shirt was clean and tidy, and he looked radiant.
Just then, Wei Dong's mother came out with the dishes. "Okay, it's time to eat. Dong, get Mian a bowl and chopsticks."
"Okay."
The mother and son busied themselves with the dishes. When all the dishes were on the table, the three of them sat around the small dining table.
Huo Mien glanced at the dishes. There weren't many dishes, only four.
One was braised carp, one was stir-fried pork with garlic, one was tiger skin green pepper, and the other was stewed beef brisket with tomatoes.
Although it was a simple home-cooked meal, it smelled very fragrant and had the flavor of that era.
"Kid, are you hungry? Hurry up and eat. "Wei Dong's mother smiled at Huo Mien.
"My mom's really good at cooking. Try it." Wei Dong kept putting food on Huo Mien's plate.
Huo Mien couldn't refuse such kindness. He lowered his head and ate. The food was indeed delicious, even more authentic than his mother's.
"How is it?" Wei Dong asked.
"It's delicious," Huo Mien praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Eat more if you like it," Wei Dong's mother said as she put food on Huo Mien's plate.
"It's okay, Auntie. I can't finish this much. Don't keep putting food on my plate. I'm embarrassed."
"It's okay. Eat more. Look at how skinny you are."
"Thank you, Auntie."
After some pleasantries, the three of them ate and chatted.
Wei Dong was in a good mood. He even drank a bottle of beer.
Near the end of the meal, Wei Dong's mother suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Huo Mien. Huo Mien didn't know what to do.
"Kid, it's all thanks to you that Dong can turn things around. Thank you. I'm really grateful."
"Auntie, what are you doing? Get up. I don't deserve this."
Huo Mien was also anxious. Because he was not as heavy as Wei Dong's mother, he could not exert any strength.
Last month, I almost ran out of money for my medicine. Dongzi went to borrow a thousand yuan from his old friends, but they didn't lend it to us. We don't blame them. After all, people in this society are realistic. So when I found out that you were willing to lend Dongzi so much money, I really … didn't know what to say. Anyway, thank you. Our whole family will never forget your kindness. "
"Auntie, please get up first. I can't stay here with you like this."
"Mom, you should get up first. Huo Mien is scared," Wei Dong added.
Only then did Wei Dong's mother slowly get up. Huo Mien helped her up. "Auntie, I only lent him the money. He'll have to pay me back when he makes money. Plus, I think Wei Dong has a good head for business. If he works hard, he'll definitely be successful. You guys will be too."
"Thank you for trusting my son. To be honest, Dongzi has always liked you. When we were in school, he always talked about you. He said that you're smart, that you're smart, that you can always get first place even when you don't study. He also said that you're low-key and loyal. Anyway, it's all good things. Later … he even tried to pursue you …"
"Ahem … Mom, let's not talk about the past." Wei Dong was very embarrassed.
When the Wei Family was doing well, they tried to pursue Huo Mien, but he didn't even agree. Now that they were in such dire straits, it was ridiculous to talk about the past.
"Anyway, when I heard that you gave Dongzi so much money, I really … didn't know what to say." Wei Dong's mother seemed very emotional.
"Auntie, it's nothing. We're classmates. I helped him out because we're classmates."
"Dongzi, did you tell the girl about that thing?" Wei Dong's mother wiped away her tears and looked at her son.
"I didn't have time to tell her. You stole the show for me." Wei Dong smiled helplessly.
"Then hurry up and tell her. It's a good thing. You have to tell her," Wei Dong's mother egged him on.
"What is it? Hurry up and tell me. "Huo Mian was suddenly very curious as she watched the mother and daughter singing the same tune.
