Chapter 23: cousin

On the third day of National Day, Chen Qianqing's father returned home.
Chen Qianqing's father is Chen Qingyang, a mechanic who repairs machines. He often travels abroad, usually two or three months away, so when Chen was a child, he spent most of his time at home with his mother.
Perhaps because he hasn't been with his son for too long, Chen Qingyang also likes Chen Qianqing. The relationship between father and son is very good and there are few conflicts.
The day Chen Qingyang returned, his cousin Chen Qianqing's family also came to his house.
Liu Huamei got up early and pulled Chen Qianqing up and told him to buy vegetables with himself.
Chen Qianqing wore clothes and had breakfast, followed by Liu Huamei and Lu Zhengfei who were trembling, almost like a flower dozed by rain.
Lu Zhengfei has hardly been to the vegetable market. Shopping and cooking in his house are arranged by maids, and there are few occasions when you do it yourself, so following Liu Huamei's experience of visiting the vegetable market is quite new.
Liu Huamei picked a fresh fish, a rib, a bit of beef, and a few more vegetables and accessories, and then went back happily.
Chen Qianqing didn't talk much, just obediently followed the dishes and followed Liu Huamei. Instead, Lu Zhengfei and Liu Huamei talked and laughed, like mother and son who haven't seen each other for a long time.
Liu Huamei turned to look at Chen Qianqing: "Qian Qing, why don't you child talk? Look at Xiaolu!"
Chen Qianqing gave a whisper and stopped talking.
Liu Huamei couldn't help him, so he reached out and patted him lightly on the back: "Be careful, I let your dad hit you!"
The three talked and walked home. Chen Qingyang, who has returned from abroad, has already arrived home. When he sees Liu Huamei who returned from shopping, he greets, "Huamei, you are back."
Liu Huamei and Lu Zhengfei put the dishes in the kitchen, and then came out: "Your son has broken legs and don't care about it. I said that you can retire in the next year and you will retire. It will not be a long-term issue.
Chen Qingyang was already in his thirties when he was born, and because of the type of work, he could retire at fifty-five, which is a matter for the next year.
Chen Qingyang obviously didn't want to entangle more with Liu Huamei on this issue, and said, "Qian Qing, don't introduce me to your classmates?"
Hearing that "classmate" Lu Zhengfei immediately frowned, and didn't blame him for being so tender.
Chen Qianqing gave Lu Zhengfei a glance: "He has been around for twenty-seven, my friend, not a classmate."
"Oh." Chen Qingyang hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I thought you were Qianqing classmate ..."
Lu Zhengfei laughed: "All right, uncle, they all said I was tender."
Chen Qianqing: "..." You are really shameless.
Liu Huamei asked Chen Qingyang some questions about his work, and she saw that she really wanted Chen Qingyang to retire early, but it was not easy to say clearly that Lu Zhengfei and Chen Qianqing didn't interrupt, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
The four were chatting, and the doorbell at home suddenly rang.
Liu Huamei said: "Surely your sister is here, Qian Qing, go and open the door."
Chen Qianqing stood up to open the door and greeted the two people standing outside the door.
Chen Qianqing's father, Chen Qingyang, had two older sisters, a younger sister and an older sister who had lost their husbands in their early years. The third sister had divorced again in recent years. When walking around, Chen Qingyang usually went back to see it alone, and Chen Qianqing spent the Chinese New Year with his mother.
This time they came, according to Liu Huamei's guess, most of them wanted to borrow money.
Happy families have the same happiness, but unfortunate families have their own misfortunes. Liu Huamei and Chen Qingyang have a good relationship, but sometimes they will quarrel because of some things, such as the sister Chen Qingyang.
"Brother, how many days have you been back?" Chen Qianqing's cousin, Chen Xiaohui, only entered the second year of high school. She looked like a middle and upper class. She ran to Chen Qianqing as soon as she entered the house, and said, "I miss you Now, when are you going back to school? Is city a fun? When I graduate, I also want to take the university there. Brother, what kind of major do you think I should study? "
Chen Qianqing took the tea silently and took a sip. He remembered that Chen Qianqing had such a cousin, but to be honest, for so many years, he had forgotten the name of the cousin.
Fortunately, Liu Huamei helped Chen Qianqing. She said, "Qian Qing, Xiaohui asks you, why don't you speak?"
Chen Qianqing whispered slowly.
In front of Chen's parents, Lu Zhengfei always maintained a tame smile. Even when Chen Xiaohui sat next to Chen Qianqing and began to ask questions, the heat of that smile did not weaken at all, but his eyes began to move up and down on Chen Xiaohui. Glanced, it seemed as if the girl was threatening him.
When it was estimated that the level of threat was very low, almost equal to zero, he smiled even sweeter: "Qian Qing, is this your sister? Wouldn't you introduce it to me?"
Chen Qianqing glanced at Lu Zhengfei, who wouldn't know what he was thinking, so he lazily said, "Xiaohui, this is Lu Zhengfei, just call him Lu."
Chen Xiaohui shouted immediately, "Luo brother!" Her eyes light up the moment she saw Lu Zhengfei, to be honest, Lu Zhengfei was really good, and she was definitely worthy of the word prince when she was not crazy, but once Insane ... that's a dog.
Chen Xiaohui, a 17-year-old girl, is bound to have some romantic fantasies. As the saying goes, love at first sight is not love, but the face, what Lu Zhengfei's deceptive face makes Chen Xiaohui produce. Thoughts are also quite normal.
As a man, Chen Qianqing knew Chen Xiaohui's thoughts almost instantaneously. He joked, "Study hard. Your brother Lu has no girlfriend."
"Hey, what's your child saying?" Liu Huamei was talking to Chen Qingyang's sister Chen Qingyu, and her eyes widened when she heard Chen Qianqing's words: "People Xiaohui is only seventeen, don't mess about."
Chen Qingyu just smiled when he heard the words: "Xunzi, don't blame Qian Qing, Qian Qing is just kidding."
Chen Xiaohui said shamefully, "Brother, you really hate it."
Chen Qianqing showed an unknown smile.
Lu Zhengfei looked at Chen Qianqing's smile, and suddenly an illusion that he was going to be unlucky ...
Liu Huamei said: "Then you guys talk first, I'll cook." Then he went into the kitchen.
Chen Qingyang said, "Qian Qing, take Xiaohui and your friends out to buy some drinks, and then buy some fruit by the way." He obviously wanted to open the child first, and then talk with Chen Qingyu.
Chen Qianqing responded with interest, so the three changed their shoes and went out.
Chen Xiaohui's family conditions are average. She hasn't been out of province c when she is so old. It is funny to see her brother who came back to study from the outside, but obviously she is more interested in Lu Zhengfei than Chen Qianqing.
Parents have the biggest influence on a child. A large part of the reason why Chen Xiaohui divorced her family was because her mother and her husband were almost arrested. The man couldn't stand it, so he even proposed a divorce regardless of Chen Xiaohui.
"Lu Brother, are you going to the same university as my brother?" Along the way, Chen Xiaohui was asking Lu Zhengfei for some information.
Lu Zhengfei had to pretend to be a gentleman. Naturally, he had to answer questions. Unlike Chen Qianqing, he was too lazy to care about Chen Xiaohui. He nodded and shook his head, not even saying a word.
Lu Zhengfei is still pretending to be his elder brother: "I've come out to work and I'm friends with you."
Chen Xiaohui said, "Yeah, I didn't see it at all. You look so young ... I almost thought you and your brother were classmates."
Lu Zhengfei laughed.
Hearing this whisper, Chen Qianqing, who was in a bad mood, frowned. "Lu Zhengfei, give me a box of yogurt."
Before Lu Zhengfei finished, he turned to raise the yogurt and waited for him to bring it back, Chen Qianqing lifted his eyelids: "Don't you know I don't eat strawberry?"
Lu Zhengfei: "... the strawberries and taro you chose for popcorn the day before yesterday."
Chen Qianqing: "Don't you see the taro I only eat?"
Lu Zhengfei: "..." Yeah, don't say more, change the aloe flavor.
Chen Xiaohui has always looked at his face since he was a child. When he saw Chen Qianqing's expression, he carefully said, "Brother, are you angry?"
Chen Qianqing showed a smile. His smile looked similar to Lu Zhengfei's smirk: "Stupid girl, how can I be mad at you?"
Chen Xiaohui suddenly felt a little scared to speak with Chen Qianqing.
When Lu Zhengfei brought back the yoghurt, he saw Chen Xiaohui's head bowed, and she completely lost her appearance. Looking at Chen Qianqing's expressionless face again, the fool knows what happened.
Lu Zhengfei said: "Qian Qing, what fruit do you want to eat?"
"I don't have anything to eat." Chen Qianqing replied, and he thought for a while, and felt that his cousin to Chen Qianqing was not so good ... Well, although he used to treat all women close to Chen Qianqing as love rivals, the biggest problem now Yes, he was Chen Qianqing himself, so he said, "Xiaohui, what do you want to eat?"
Chen Xiaohui gave Chen Qianqing a pitiful glance, and whispered, "I want to eat mangosteen." She likes this fruit, but the price of this fruit is generally high, and her mother rarely buys it for her.
Chen Qianqing gave her a bag: "Choose by yourself, how much you want to eat, how much you want, Lu pays."
Lu Zhengfei: "..."
Chen Xiaohui smiled, and said sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Lu!"
Lu Zhengfei glanced at Chen Qianqing and said quietly, "No thanks."
