The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

After the lunch, Lin Ming and his family of three did not eat here.

Or maybe Chen Chunmei did not want Lin Ming to eat here.

What shocked Chen Chunmei was that Lin Ming, such a rich man, took away all the nutritional supplements he brought with him before leaving.

It was past 12 o'clock.

Lin Ming took Xuan Xuan back to the rental house first.

Because Chen Jia drove herself, she went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables.

Before Chen Jia came back, Lin Ming knocked on the door of Wang Lanmei's house.

"Lin Ming?"

Wang Lanmei was pleasantly surprised: "You little brat, you haven't been home for so many days. I thought you had forgotten us!"

"Grandma Wang, I've been on a business trip for a while and I'm very busy with work. Don't blame me."

Lin Ming smiled and said, "I brought some nutritional supplements for you and Grandpa Song."

In fact, this was brought back from Chen Chunmei's house.

Wang Lanmei didn't act pretentiously and took the nutritional supplements.

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet. Chen Jia went to buy groceries." Lin Ming said.

"It's just right. I just finished cooking. If you don't mind, you can stay here for lunch." Wang Lanmei said.

"Okay, okay!"

Without waiting for Lin Ming to speak, Xuanxuan danced and said, "Grandma's cooking is the best. I want to eat it!"

"Little girl, you only know how to eat!"

Wang Lanmei led Xuanxuan into the house lovingly.

Song Shengquan was sitting on a chair reading a newspaper.

Seeing Lin Ming and Xuan Xuan coming in, he hurriedly said, "Hey, what wind blew little Princess Xuan Xuan here?"

"Grandpa!" Xuan Xuan called out sweetly.

"Hey!"

Song Shengquan laughed heartily.

Then he pretended to be dissatisfied and said to Lin Ming, "You are really something. You are busy with work every day. Your grandmother Wang has not seen Xuan Xuan for a while, and she seems to have lost her soul and keeps talking about her every day."

"Are you still talking about me?"

Wang Lanmei glared at Song Shengquan, "I don't know who insisted that I call Chen Jia and ask her to bring Xuan Xuan to dinner with Lin Ming."

A warm feeling flowed through Lin Ming's heart.

This old couple is really good to his family.

People who don't know might really think that they are his own grandparents.

"Sit down quickly."

Song Shengquan greeted, pretending not to hear Wang Lanmei's words.

"Grandpa Song, how is your health during this period? Are you still exercising?" Lin Ming chatted about family matters.

"It's OK. I get up and walk a few steps every morning, and walk around the community with your grandma Wang in the evening."

Song Shengquan took out a bottle of white wine while speaking.

"This is the wine you brought me last time. Let's drink some at noon?"

"No today. I'm driving. Let's drink next time." Lin Ming said.

"Okay."

Song Shengquan put the white wine back.

Lin Ming glanced at the dishes on the table without leaving a trace.

He couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, what day is it today? Six dishes, fish and meat, you two old people usually eat so well?"

"Why, do you think we don't have as much money as you, so we can't eat well?" Song Shengquan said.

"That's not the case." Lin Ming shook his head quickly.

Under normal circumstances, people of Song Shengquan and Wang Lanmei's age would definitely not have several dishes for every meal.

And Wang Lanmei has always been very frugal in her life. Lin Ming even suspected that Wang Lanmei knew he was coming, so she cooked so many dishes.

At this time, Chen Jia also went upstairs.

Wang Lanmei deliberately left the door open, so Chen Jia heard Lin Ming's voice from a distance.

"It seems that I don't have to cook at noon?" Chen Jia smiled.

"That's for sure. Look at the dishes made by Grandma Wang. How rich they are." Lin Ming said.

Chen Jia glanced at the table and asked in confusion: "Did you call Grandma Wang and Grandpa Song in advance?"

"No, absolutely not!"

"Then why did Grandma Wang cook so many dishes?" Chen Jia was also puzzled.

"Just eat it after it's cooked. Why bother so much?" Song Shengquan smiled and shook his head.

Wang Lanmei brought out another soup from the kitchen.

After putting it down, she said: "Today is Old Song's birthday."

Lin Ming and Chen Jia looked at each other and fell silent immediately.

The old couple has four children in total.

These four children have also married and had children, and they can be said to have many children and grandchildren.

However.

On the birthday, only the old couple were lonely at home.

No wonder Song Shengquan never explained why Wang Lanmei cooked so many dishes.

No wonder

Song Shengquan was so happy to see Lin Ming and Xuan Xuan suddenly come.

Lin Ming and Chen Jia could imagine his mood.

"Grandpa Song, how old are you this year?" Lin Ming asked.

Song Shengquan gestured: "No more, no less, exactly eighty!"

"Eighty..."

Lin Ming pursed his lips.

Eighty years old!

How many birthdays can he celebrate?

"Let's drink."

Lin Ming suddenly smiled and said: "Anyway, there is nothing to do in the afternoon, let's get drunk!"

"Don't you still have to drive? If you are busy, don't drink." Song Shengquan said.

"Not busy, work tomorrow." Lin Ming waved his hand.

Song Shengquan didn't say anything more, and got up to take the white wine.

He didn't have any hobbies in his life, just liked to drink a few sips.

Fortunately, he didn't get any serious illness, and he was still comfortable orally.

"Grandma Wang, stop working. Chen Jia bought some drinks. Let's drink together." Lin Ming shouted to the kitchen again.

When Wang Lanmei came out, her slightly cloudy eyes were red.

Compared with Song Shengquan, the old birthday star, she might feel more uncomfortable.

"Grandma Wang, we are here."

Chen Jia grabbed Wang Lanmei's hand and comforted her, "We will come when you and Grandpa Song have birthdays in the future."

Hearing this.

Wang Lanmei, who was already holding back, couldn't hold back any longer.

She said in a very self-deprecating tone: "It is said that raising children is a way to prepare for old age. What have your Grandpa Song and I lived for in this life!"

"Look at you, the children have their own things to do, and I'm not dead yet, why are you crying!" Song Shengquan frowned and shouted in annoyance.

"I feel so depressed!"

Wang Lanmei said aggrievedly: "Four children, it's okay if they don't come back, it's your 80th birthday! How many years can you live?"

"They didn't even call me, I shouldn't have given birth to them!"

Obviously, this was just angry words.

But Lin Ming and Chen Jia can understand Wang Lanmei's feelings.

It seems that since renting a house here, they haven't seen Wang Lanmei and Song Shengquan's children.

Not to mention Lin Ming, even in Chen Jia's impression, the number of times they came back would not exceed twice at most.

Very helpless.

But this is reality.

Don't just say "Girls can't stay at home when they grow up".

In today's society, it is not uncommon for men to get into college, go to work in other places, and then stay in other places and never come back for a lifetime.

Everyone can write the word "filial piety".

What a pity.

Some people can write it well.

Some people can never write it well in their entire lives.
