Lin Jie said," Oh, this is your business, not mine. Who asked you to buy so little? I'm not even full yet."
Five Blessings and Xu Yingying stood behind Lin Jie without saying anything. Four Happiness said," If we ask later, we'll just say that the restaurant did not sell breakfast during the weekend, so we did not eat."
Lin Jie smiled and said," Don't drag us into your lies. At most, the three of us will ask about it later, and we won't say anything even if you beat us to death. Great, right?"
Sure enough, not long after, Chen Xiaosheng and Second Sister's mother came back. The two of them had big and small bags. Sanyuan and Sixi quickly went to help. As soon as Chen Xiaosheng entered the door, he shouted," I'm starving. Where's the breakfast you bought? Take it out for me to eat!"
Second Younger Sister's mother also said," Yeah, I'm so hungry. I'm exhausted."
Three Yuan said," It's the weekend today, so the breakfast shop is not open. We didn't get anything either." Lin Jie and the others were counting ants and pretended not to hear him.
Second Younger Sister's mother said," Seriously, selling breakfast and not going to work on rest days. I won't starve to death after half a meal."
Chen Xiaosheng was not so easily fooled. He stared at Sixi and said," Sixi, why don't you tell me the truth? I clearly saw that you bought it back. Now there's nothing left. Did you take it all by yourself?"
Sixi was tricked by Xiaosheng and hurriedly said," No, everyone ate it, Brother Jie ate the most." Lin Jie and the others were speechless. They were really stupid.
Chen Xiaosheng laughed out loud," Second Sister, look at this. We didn't see you at all!"
Sixi and Sanyuan were so angry that they were about to start a fight with Chen Xiaosheng. Second Sister's mother said," Forget it, hurry up and prepare to worship the Kitchen God." Then, she began to place the offerings, incense, and candles in the kitchen and lit them up. Then, she asked Lin Jie to worship first. Lin Jie followed the method that Second Sister's mother taught him and worshipped for a long time before he finished.
Then, Second Younger Sister's mother began to move the ingredients into the kitchen and said," Just wait. We can start cooking when we come back."
Lin Jie asked," Where are you guys going?"
Second Younger Sister's mother said," Didn't I tell you last night that I went to pay respects to your parents today?" Then, she pulled Lin Jie into the nanny van without any explanation. Wu Fu and Xu Yingying stood guard on either side.
Lin Jie was surprised and said," What are you doing? There's no happiness if you force it. Even if you get my body, you won't get my heart."
Chen Xiaosheng, who was driving in the front, Second Sister's mother, who was in the passenger seat, and San Yuan and Si Xi, who were behind, all laughed out loud. Wu Fu and Xu Yingying were so embarrassed that their faces were flushed red. However, they did not care about it after they helped Lin Jie fasten his seatbelt. Just like that, Lin Jie was brought to Tseung Kwan O Cemetery in a daze. Since they were already here, it was not a big deal to pay their respects. Lin Jie took out a handkerchief and wiped the tombstones of the two of them properly. Then, he placed the offerings on the tombstones and knelt there silently.
After the rest of the people paid their respects, they went back to the car to wait for him. Lin Jie began to recall his childhood, one by one. Lin Jie picked up a pack of cigarettes and lit it up. Unknowingly, his eyes became moist. He comforted himself that he must have been affected by his emotions.'I'm a strong person.'
Second Younger Sister's mother had been waiting for more than an hour, but Lin Jie had not returned. She said," Sixi, go and see what happened to your Brother Jie. Why isn't he back yet?"
Sixi came back not long after she ran over and said," I saw Brother Jie crying and smoking. I didn't dare to disturb him. What should I do? He looks so sad."
Second Sister's mother said,"I remember that Xiao Jie doesn't smoke."
Chen Xiaosheng said," If there's nothing, just let him vent. If he cries, then let him cry. Don't disturb him. If he finds out that we find out that he's a big man crying, how can he be embarrassed?"
His second sister's mother also sighed," Poor child. He used to have a happy family. Suddenly, his parents left in one day."
Xu Yingying asked,"Do they have any other relatives?"
Second Younger Sister's mother said," His father's family is gone. His mother's family still has a younger sister who married to Shangshui. However, the two sisters don't get along. The older sister is gentle and virtuous, while the younger sister is harsh and mean. They don't have much contact. When the older sister died, she didn't even come."
Wu Fu asked," Are they sisters? Sisters don't have overnight grudges. You see, Sixi bullies me every day. If that's the case, I would have stopped interacting with her a long time ago."
Sixi couldn't take it anymore." When did I bully you? It's obviously big sister who scolds us every day, alright?"
San Yuan said,"Alright, I'm here to pay my respects. What are you two doing?"
After another hour, his second sister's mother said," No, Xiaosheng, you should go and take a look. You're all men. You should persuade him not to be too sad. This child is really sentimental. He didn't want to come at first, but now he doesn't want to leave."
Xiaosheng said,"Okay, I'll go take a look."
Lin Jie was drinking alone in front of the tombstone, smoking, and crying. He was missing his family in his previous life. Suddenly, he felt that the bottle in his hand was snatched away, and he became alert. He was too sad, and he did not even know that someone was approaching. This was not good, and it was a big taboo for the police.
Chen Xiaosheng said," Let's go. Don't be sad. We're all hungry from drinking alone here. Let's go home. Uncle Xiaosheng will drink with you."
Lin Jie said," Sorry, I forgot the time."
Chen Xiaosheng laughed," Silly, we're family. Let's go, everyone's worried about you."
Sixi ran back to the car and said," I managed to persuade him. Brother Jie is so pitiful. He's drinking alone in front of the tombstone and smoking. He looks so lonely. No wonder he called us all over to stay with him."
When San Yuan saw them come out, he hurriedly said," Don't say anymore. They're here. Be happy!"
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, Lin Jie said embarrassedly," I'm sorry for making you wait so long. Let's go back and cook, everyone is hungry."
Second Younger Sister's mother said," Yeah, let's go. When we go back, let Xiaosheng cook and make a good meal."
On the way back, Xu Yingying quietly held Lin Jie's hand to comfort him. On the other side, Five Blessings also quietly held Lin Jie's hand. No one in the car spoke.
When they got home, Lin Jie said," I'll go change my clothes, you guys go ahead." Then, he went upstairs alone.
Brushing his teeth and washing his face was much more comfortable. His mouth was smelly from smoking and drinking just now. After changing his clothes, he went downstairs and was busy in the kitchen with his second sister's mother. The four girls were watching TV in the dining room. Lin Jie walked over and said," You guys smell my mouth, is it still smelly? I smoked a lot of cigarettes and drank white wine just now." After saying that, he even moved his head over to let them smell it.
A few girls stepped aside and said," It stinks." Lin Jie took a whiff and muttered that it did not stink. Then he lay on the sofa and watched TV. Sixi ran back and said," Brother Jie, how can we sit when you lie down like this?"
Lin Jie rolled his eyes and said," The sofa is so wide, I'll lie in the innermost part. It's fine for a few people to sit outside. Besides, there's more than one sofa, why do you have to squeeze with me?" After saying that, he ignored her and continued reading.
Sixi did not care anymore as she sat on the sofa and leaned against Lin Jie's feet. After a while, she heard Xiaosheng shouting from the kitchen," It's time to eat, come over, stop looking!"
