Chapter 117 Bubble
Chapter 117 Bubble
Hotel Rooms——
During the dinner, three mothers were discussing their sons' education. Cheng Si, who was at the center of the discussion, wanted to find a cave to hide away in some quiet time.
I don't know if it's because I'm too bored, but I suddenly thought that if one of his cousin and Jin Li were here, they wouldn't be as honest and quiet as he is, sitting here.
When they finally finished chatting, Zhao Zhi looked at Cheng Si and asked, "Auntie, can I call you Cheng Cheng?"
Cheng Si nodded, "Okay."
"Hahaha, Cheng Cheng came in a hurry today and I don't have any gifts for you. Come to your aunt's house when you have time. My son is about the same age as you, so we should be able to play together."
Zhao Zhi smiled at Cheng Si warmly, and from her expression it was clear that she really liked Cheng Si.
Cheng Si was a little embarrassed when he heard this and said, "Okay."
Yu Yan found this a little funny, "Xiao Zhi, you are such a careless mother. Xiao Jin and Cheng Cheng have known each other for a long time, and they have a good relationship now."
"Ah? Is that true?" Zhao Zhi was also a little surprised.
"Auntie, Jin Li and I do know each other. We are...schoolmates."
"Is that so? This little bastard has known you for a long time, but why didn't he bring you home for a visit?" He spoke with disdain for his own son in his tone.
Cheng Si didn't know why Jin Li's mother felt that she should take him home just because they knew each other.
But given his relationship with Jin Li, even if Jin Li wanted to take him home, Cheng Si would not go.
He felt that it would be disrespectful to the other party's parents to bring a friend with whom he was not familiar before having a clear relationship with his family.
When the banquet was almost over, Yu Yanqing drove Cheng Si and the drunk Cheng Yi back to their residence in South City.
Mr. Cheng had indeed drunk too much and needed someone to support him. When going upstairs, Cheng Si had some difficulty supporting his father.
"Chengcheng, can you support your dad? Or should mom do it?" Yu Yanqing looked at the father and son walking upstairs. They lived in an old neighborhood, and the stairs were narrow, making it difficult for three people to walk up.
Cheng Si shook her head, "No need, Mom, it's only a few steps away."
"Hey, why are you and your family back?" It was just a coincidence that I met the residents face to face.
Cheng Si looked up, was stunned for a moment, and shouted, "Hello, Grandpa Zhang."
The person he hadn't seen for a long time still seemed a little friendly. The old man looked healthy and smiled lovingly at Cheng Si, "Cheng Si, Grandpa Zhang hasn't seen you for a long time."
Cheng Si chatted with him for a few words, then went to his own doorstep to settle his father down first. When he came out of his parents' room, he saw his mother still chatting with Grandpa Zhang at the door, so he went over to join in the fun.
"Xiao Yu, you guys just came back, and you haven't cleaned up the house yet, do you want to come to my house for dinner later?"
"That's embarrassing. We can just go out and have something to eat later."
"Why go out to eat? Food outside is heavy in oil and seasoning, which is not good for your health. Xiaoxiao happened to go fishing with her dad today.
We caught a few big fish, but we can't eat much. The weather is hot and they're going to go bad easily. Your family coming here can help digest them."
"How about this...Okay, we'll go up after five?"
"Well, it's settled then. I'm going downstairs to meet my chess friends. You guys need to come over later!"
When Cheng Si's mother came in, he returned to the sofa and sat down. Yu Yanqing came in and walked towards him. In the car, his mother said that she had something to discuss with him, and now they were sitting face to face.
Yu Yanqing touched it for a moment and looked at Cheng Si, "Mother Cheng Cheng wants to discuss something with you."
Cheng Si was inexplicably nervous when she heard this opening remark, "Mom, just tell me straight."
Yu Yanqing didn't beat around the bush. "My parents have saved some money and are planning to buy a house. We are now focusing on the city where we work, so I wanted to ask what you think?"
Cheng Si understood what she meant. "To be honest, I hope you guys buy a house in South City. No matter how well you do at work, you'll eventually have to return to your roots."
Cheng Si felt a little awkward after saying this. In fact, he just knew in advance that his parents returned to Nanshi when he was in college.
In his previous life, when he was in his senior year of high school, his family was overwhelmed by the issue of buying a house, and the problem arose because he didn't take care of his grandmother during that time.
Cheng Si couldn't say he had any feelings for the city where his parents were working now. In addition, his parents had bought a house there in advance. It was obviously a very good location, but it was unexpectedly left unfinished.
The developer also ran away and there was no one to compensate him. His parents also lost money and had to continue to pay the mortgage. Although their family could afford it, it would be difficult for them to buy another house.
Because of this, his parents returned to Nanshi and lived in this house they bought a long time ago. Cheng Si didn't want his parents to repeat the same mistake, but he might not be able to convince his parents to choose the property they had originally liked.
I could only express my thoughts in a roundabout way, and used the word "grandma" apologetically at the end, "Grandma is old and will need someone to take care of her in the future. You know she has a stubborn temper and won't leave here."
Yu Yanqing was silent for a long time after hearing this, then sighed, "What you said makes sense, I'll discuss it with your father."
Cheng Si didn't feel anything when he heard this. He knew that he couldn't persuade his parents with just a few words, but he also couldn't sit back and watch. "Mom, no matter what you decide, tell me before you make a decision."
Yu Yanqing smiled when she heard this and touched Cheng Si's head. "My son is becoming more and more mature now. Mom is very pleased."
Cheng Si felt a little uncomfortable when his mother touched his head. He paused and asked, "Mom, how many days will you rest before you go back?"
"Oh, two or three days. I heard from your aunt that she will go out to escape the heat in a few days. You should go out and play with them. Don't stay at home all day. I'll ask someone to take care of your grandma."
Cheng Si listened and nodded, "Well, I'll go in a few days."
Cheng Sixiang thought about how he had promised his aunt to go out and play but had not told Jin Li yet, and he had not remembered to say hello to his parents when he came back. He suddenly felt guilty, and now he reacted a little abnormally and said hello to his mother.
Cheng Si returned to the room and immediately called Jin Li. It took a minute for the other party to answer the phone. As soon as the call was connected, Jin Li's voice sounded a little sad.
"What's wrong? The busy man finally remembered me, a bubble with no sense of existence?"
Cheng Si didn't know where he got this word from, but he really felt bad about it, so he quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I just..."
Cheng Si really didn't know how to explain this. Jin Li sneered and answered for him, "Of course you didn't mean it. You just forgot about me."
"I didn't mean to do that. I left the hotel and was in the same room with your mother. I didn't dare to call you," Cheng Si replied with a guilty conscience as he indeed forgot about it later.
Jin Li didn't say anything after hearing this. He had obviously heard his mother talk about his own affairs, so he got down to business. "Where do you want to go? I'll book the tickets and hotels in advance?"
Cheng Si felt a chill in his hair as he listened to the words, and whispered, "Well, I might be late."
"What?" Jin Li didn't quite understand what he meant.
"I'm going out to play with my aunt and her family for a few days," Cheng Si added timidly.
The other side immediately fell silent, and Cheng Si asked tentatively, "Why don't you speak?"
Jin Li sneered, "What can I say? Have fun?"
Cheng Si didn't know what to say for a moment after hearing his tone. Both sides were silent for a while, which was quite dramatic. Cheng Si's phone was running low on power, so he said to Jin Li in a matter-of-fact way, "My phone is running low on power. Can I go charge it first?"
"Cheng Si, you're great!" Jin Li hung up the phone after saying this. Cheng Si looked at the black screen of the phone and sighed in distress.
