Chapter 007 The food is delicious

Meilijun's motorcycle is a straddle-type motorcycle. It is a bit difficult for children to sit on it by themselves. After finally getting Mei Fang and Lin Youxi into the car, Meilijun put on his poncho and covered Lin Youxi and Mei Fang's head.

Because Mei Fang was sitting in the middle, he could just stick his head out from the opening on the back of the poncho. Lin Youxi could only lower her head, with her forehead touching Mei Fang's back.

"Sit tight, hurry up, and get ready to go!"

Meilijun's motorcycle gasoline engine made a terrifying sound comparable to the rumbling of a tractor. He could feel a strong vibration with his dangling feet against the motorcycle. At this time, Lin Youxi still put her hands on his legs but did not dare to touch Mei Fang.

"Lin Youxi, you are holding on to my clothes. Aren't you afraid of falling?"

Mei Fang's voice was drowned out by the sound of the engine and thunder. When the motorcycle started to move, Lin Youxi pressed her whole body against Mei Fang's back due to the sudden recoil, and her arms subconsciously hugged him tightly from behind, and she didn't let go until we got home.

"Huh...it's raining really hard."

Meilijun was well protected by his poncho when he returned home, while Lin Youxi and Mei Fang looked like two drowned chickens, looking very embarrassed.

"You're back, quickly; go take a shower to avoid catching a cold..."

Xiang Xiaoxia brought a dry towel to the door and was about to wipe Mei Fang's face when she saw a little girl standing beside him, her head lowered.

Mei Fang quickly explained, "This is my kindergarten classmate, named Lin Youxi... Her father didn't come to pick her up."

"Okay, let's come in together! Well... I'll help you find Mei Fang's clothes, and we'll take a bath together. I'll help you wash them later."

Lin Youxi didn't nod or shake her head. She just stood there stupidly. Mei Fang pulled her and whispered, "After taking a shower, will you have dinner at our house? You must be starving."

"good."

Lin Youxi only talked to children.

Lin Youxi's encounter in the kindergarten reminded Mei Fang somewhat of the past. This was the reason why he reached out to Lin Youxi for help.

He also encountered a similarly unpopular female classmate in junior high school, a chubby girl.

For reasons that he has forgotten, the teacher didn't seem to like her very much. Her classmates also liked to call her fat woman and fat girl and often teased her. She did not resist but endured silently.

As for Mei Fang, because he had sat at the same table with her for a while, he knew that she was actually very easy to get along with and was not as unbearable as her classmates said, but he did not say many words to her.

 

One time, she didn't bring money to buy lunch, so Mei Fang lent her money to buy bread. After she paid back the money the next day, she also gave Mei Fang an extra bottle of milk as a thank-you gift.

However, that classmate ended up transferring to another school, but when she left, she left a postcard for Mei Fang, in which she expressed her gratitude to Mei Fang and said that he was her best friend in the class.

Mei Fang still feels emotional that an act of kindness that he thought should be taken for granted was regarded by others as an extremely sincere treasure of friendship.

Apart from this incident, Lin Youxi is a good friend of Xia Yuan. Counting the fate that did not exist in the previous life, she can barely be considered an old acquaintance of his.

Mei Fang couldn't bear to leave her there like this. He couldn't bear to see such a thing...

When his mother took Lin Youxi to the bathroom to take a shower, Mei Lijun crossed his legs and began to teach Mei Fang a lesson.

"What's going on with you kid lately? You didn't deal with girls at all before, but now you care about them? First, you played with Xia Yuan, and now you play with Lin Youxi... You have a lot of tricks up your sleeve at such a young age. ? But... this is just like your father's style. I think back then..."

"Bragging."

Mei Fang couldn't help complaining about this flamboyant father, "If you are so capable, you won't marry a wife who doesn't even give you 10 yuan of pocket money. What a shame!"

"You kid... why are you talking bad about your mother? Who raised you to be like this? Little white-eyed wolf... Your mother is the most virtuous and beautiful lady in the surrounding areas. Who are you talking to?"

This flattering and disgusting statement was made without even thinking about it when he saw his wife coming over.

Xiang Xiaoxia took Lin Youxi out after taking a bath and had already helped her blow dry her hair before that. She was not unhappy because of the uninvited guests at home. On the contrary, she seemed to be getting along quite happily with Lin Youxi.

Lin Youxi looked much cooler than usual. She was wearing Mei Fang's singlet, and her body was clean. Her mother also tied her into a high ponytail.

"How about... look at my braid, does it look good? Lin Youxi, please raise your head. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

She could not help but lower her head under the bangs. Lin Youxi raised her head bravely and then quickly lowered it.

Mei Fang silently gave her mother a thumbs up.

It's really cute looking like this, hehe...

"I asked you why you were drying your hair in the bathroom for so long..."

Meilijun sighed and said, "The food is cold."

Mei Fang was not as straight as his father, but he added, "Mom, your braids are so beautiful."

"Our family, Mei Fang, is still sensible, but it's not just your mother who is good at skills; Lin Youxi is also very cute!"

 

Xiang Xiaoxia gently pinched Lin Youxi's cheek, her expression full of happiness, "Hey, I wish I could have a daughter..."

 

"We are all within the system, so don't think about having a second child, right?"

"I can't even think about it. You are the only one who talks a lot."

Mei Fang has heard his parents' quarrels as a daily routine for decades, but at this time, when her family's financial situation is still acceptable, it feels particularly relaxing to listen to them.

When the family was preparing to have dinner, Mei Lijun received a call from Lin Youxi's father. After a few words, Mei Lijun handed the phone to Lin Youxi. She took the phone and went to the balcony to talk. Xiang Xiaoxia on the side asked in a low voice:

"What do you mean, will he pick her up soon?"

Meilijun shook his head, "Her father said there was something going on at the construction site, and he would have to come later."

"With such heavy rain, safety comes first."

Xiang Xiaoxia added, "By the way, Lin Youxi's father should be the third son of the Lin family from Dongmen Fishery Street, right? The one who does engineering."

Mei Lijun nodded, looked at Lin Youxi, who was talking on the phone with her father on the balcony, and then whispered back, "Lin Youxi and Mei Fang had a little friction last time. I met her father, and his wife had a car accident the year before last. Leave them motherless."

 

"You should bring her home. It's so pitiful for a little girl to have no mother at such a young age."

 

After listening to his parents' conversation, Mei Fang realized that why his father would so generously agree to his request today.

Mei Fang's parents are indeed not the best, but he is often influenced by his parents in terms of dealing with others properly.

After finishing the phone call, Lin Youxi was politely invited to sit down at the table by the family.

"Come on, Lin Youxi, try this... Our family specially cooked a chicken today. You and Mei Fang each have a chicken leg... No, Mei Fang's will be given to you too."

Lin Youxi's bowl was filled with Xiang Xiaoxia's love. Mei Lijun reminded his wife not to use too much force with a wink, but she completely ignored him.

There were only a few slices of green vegetables and beans in Mei Fang's bowl.

Lin Youxi often spread unfinished food on the table at school, but at Mei Fang's house, she had always been very disciplined, taking small bites of rice carefully and trying to swallow it when she encountered something she didn't usually eat. Looking at her difficulty, Mei Fang came over.

"Can you finish eating?"

Lin Youxi shook his head.

"If you can't finish eating, share some with me. Don't force yourself."

Lin Youxi scooped some rice, vegetables, and meat into Mei Fang's bowl, and while sharing them, Lin Youxi suddenly leaned toward Mei Fang to whisper.

Mei Fang smiled slightly after hearing this.

"Don't be shy. If you like it, you can just tell my parents."

Lin Youxi shook her head, her cheeks turned red, and she quickly lowered her head.

 

"What are you two kids whispering over there? Let me listen." Xiang Xiaoxia was very interested in the whispers between the kids.

 

Mei Fang raised his head and told his mother, "Lin Youxi said, Mom, the food you cook is delicious, and she wants to come to our house for dinner in the future."

As soon as Lin Youxi raised her head and wanted to refute, Mei Lijun burst out laughing.

"Hahaha... What's the shame of saying this? When your dad comes, tell her to come to our house for dinner every day!"

"Okay, this is good." Xiang Xiaoxia nodded, "This is like having an extra daughter... Can I tie your hair into nice braids every day?"

Lin Youxi couldn't resist the enthusiasm of Mei Fang's parents. She was silent for a while and nodded her head. Seeing Mei Fang gnawing on the chicken drumsticks that she gave him and eating with gusto, she suddenly felt a little angry.

She reached out, grabbed Mei Fang's thigh, and pinched him hard, causing Mei Fang to shout in pain.
