Yi Xiu Jie nodded gratefully towards Mu Chen, thanking him for his trust and helping his uncle get out of his predicament.While they were talking, he had taken off his tattered coat and his unkempt wig. He really had a crew cut. Under his tattered jacket was a gray sweater, and under the sweater was a T-shirt.
The temperature was warm today, and he would not feel cold even if he wore two sets of clothes.
Naturally, he did not take out the tattered outer coat and left it in the washroom for the time being.
The customers eating hotpot inside did not recognise Yi Pei Nan as the beggar from just now. After a long time of cleaning up, Yi Pei Nan gave people a completely new feeling.
When Zhang Xiao and the others saw the neatly dressed Yi Pei Nan, they immediately understood that Yi Pei Nan was a professional begging.
"Uncle, have you eaten?" I asked Ye Qing to prepare something for you to eat immediately? " After Yi Pei Nan sat down, Yi Xiu Jie asked with concern as he pulled the teapot over and poured tea for Yi Pei Nan.
Ye Qing stood up and was about to go cook. As her husband, Yi Pei Nan was naturally not slow.
"Xiao Jie, your uncle isn"t hungry after eating, there"s no need to go cook." Yi Pei Nan stopped Ye Qing from cooking, he smiled and sized Ye Qing up, then asked Yi Xiu Jie: "Xiao Jie, don"t you want to introduce me to him?"
Yi Xiu Jie smiled apologetically. He was so happy to meet his uncle here that he forgot to introduce them to each other. Therefore, he introduced everyone to Yi Pei Nan. When it was Ye Qing"s turn, he intentionally said: "Uncle, she is Ye Qing, my wife. He just received the certificate, and the wedding hasn"t yet take place."
Ye Qing graciously called Yi Pei Nan uncle.
Yi Pei Nan nodded repeatedly, but pulled Yi Xiu Jie to the side and whispered: "Xiao Jie, is the relationship between you and your wife good? What was her character like? "Uncle"s sight on her is pretty good. But uncle is getting older, so I"m afraid that I can"t see clearly with my old eyes. You have to see her clearly, don"t be like you …" What Yi Pei Nan was most afraid of was that Yi Xiu Jie would get involved to his father"s footsteps.
When easy father married Ling Hong Yu back then, Ling Hong Yu was young and beautiful. Many people said that easy father couldn"t support Ling Hong Yu, and it was indeed so.
A wife is too beautiful to be held by the average person.
Yi Xiu Jie could understand the meaning behind Yi Pei Nan"s words. He nodded heavily, and guaranteed, "Uncle, don"t worry, Ye Qing is not that kind of person. I"ve known her for almost ten years, so I"m very clear about her character."
Looking at Ye Qing, Yi Pei Nan said, "She does look a lot better than your mother." He then looked at Yi Xiu Jie and praised him. "You are also better than your father." Although his father was poor, he wasn"t the sort that was ugly. With Ling Hong Yu"s beautiful genes, he could be considered a handsome guy.
"Oh yeah, Xiao Jie, do you have a red packet? "Give uncle one." Yi Pei Nan suddenly asked Yi Xiu Jie for a red packet.
Yi Xiu Jie understood what he was trying to do and quickly advised, "Uncle, our uncle and nephew have not seen each other for over twenty years.
Yi Pei Nan scolded him lightly, "Do you think that I want to give you the money? I am going to give it to Ye Qing, and that is your wife, who is also my nephew"s daughter-in-law. As an elder, I have to give her some gifts when we meet for the first time, not to mention that today is the opening of her new shop. Don"t beat around the bush, this is a traditional rule. "
Unable to force him, Yi Xiu Jie gave him a red packet. He turned his back and took out his own wallet, and stuffed all of the red furry grandpas into the red packet. After sealing the red packet, he turned around and returned to the table with Yi Xiu Jie.
"Nephew and daughter-in-law, this is Uncle"s greeting gift to you." Yi Pei Nan smiled a little embarra.s.sedly as he gave the red packet to Ye Qing. Ye Qing immediately rejected it, but after his repeated requests and Yi Xiu Jie signalling for her to accept it, Ye Qing finally accepted the gift from Yi Pei Nan.
Although Yi Pei Nan and Zhang Xiao had finished their meal, they still cooked a few dishes for everyone to talk about.
"Xiao Jie, bring me two bottles of beer." Yi Pei Nan no longer rejected Ye Qing"s kind welcome, so he simply ordered two bottles of beer.
Thus, the uncle, nephew, and Mu Chen, the three men, drank beer while eating.
The uncle and nephew kept on talking about the past. It was mostly Yi Pei Nan who talked about the past.
"Xiao Jie, do you know what disease your father contracted back then?"
Yi Pei Nan suddenly turned to easy father"s condition.
Zhang Xiao who was holding onto Mu Ya but did not partic.i.p.ate in the drinking, suddenly looked at Yi Pei Nan.
He thought to himself: Could this Uncle Yi know that easy father died in a violent death?
"My dad got liver cancer." When his late father was mentioned, Yi Xiu Jie"s expression became gloomy.
Yi Pei Nan stared at him for a minute, then sneered: "Is this what your mother told you?"
Yi Xiu Jie nodded, seeing his uncle"s cold smile, Yi Xiu Jie immediately asked: "Is it not?"
Yi Pei Nan coldly snorted: "Of course not, you always follow behind your father, wherever your father goes, you will go. Your father will go see a doctor, and he will also bring you along, don"t you have any impression of him? Did the doctor tell your father about his condition? "
Yi Xiu Jie shook his head, "Every time Dad lets me play by myself, as long as I"m not too far away, it"ll be fine. I don"t go out to play every now and then, and I don"t understand what the doctor is saying either.
"Xiujie."
The thick and heavy gla.s.s door of the shop was pushed open again, and Ling Hong Yu and Yi Xue who had already left, came back.
The moment Ling Hong Yu entered the room, she called out Yi Xiu Jie"s name, inadvertently interrupting the truth that was nearing"s lips. Seeing Yi Pei Nan eating and drinking at the table, she immediately recognized him.
Immediately, Ling Hong Yu"s face changed, and in an instant, she returned to her original appearance.
"Mom."
Yi Xiu Jie didn"t know why his mother had returned after leaving for so long. Because he was very happy that he had reunited with his uncle, when he saw his mother who had returned, he stood up and walked over with a smile. He brought his mother over and said to her: "Mom, look who he is. Mom should still be able to recognize him, right? "
Ling Hong Yu sized Yi Pei Nan up with feigned seriousness, then shook her head and asked Yi Xiu Jie: "Xiujie, who is he? How could Mom know him? "
Before Yi Xiu Jie could speak, Yi Pei Nan had already sneered and ridiculed Ling Hong Yu: "Sister-in-law is really forgetful, we just met not too long ago, it"s only been a few days, sister-in-law turned around and no longer recognized me."
Ling Hong Yu frowned, "Who are you? My husband has no brothers, and no brothers. Where did my brother-in-law come from to call me sister-in-law? " The husband that she was referring to was Zhang Hao Tian.
"Mom, he"s Uncle Panan, my dad"s cousin." Yi Xiu Jie hurriedly explained.
