Chapter 73 Oh, I also learned how to sell meat from you! From the very beginning, Gu Jianhui looked down upon his son's troubles.
He owns a kebab shop for almost 40 years. Although the shop is not big, it is well-known locally, especially its signature grilled tendons, which are crispy, chewy, and pickled. There were long queues every day before yesterday.
In Gu Jianhui's view, doing business requires a reputation and equipment that can be seen and touched, so that customers will come to the door. Gu Xiaxia, who spends his days filming this and doing that on the Internet, is just messing around.
"Can't you be more down-to-earth? Either go out and find a serious class, or come back and I'll open a branch for you. Don't be fooled by others anymore!"
When Gu Xia was at his worst, Gu Jianhui went to the warehouse to look for him once. On a hot day of nearly 40 degrees, Gu Xia was reluctant to turn on the air conditioner in order to save money. He was sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water. As if coming out, Gu Jianhui dropped these words angrily, plus a bank card with 20 in it.
Half a year later, Gu Xia returned the money to his father with interest, but Gu Jianhui's face became even worse.
Because he saw the short videos Gu Xia had taken, he felt that it was completely "disgraceful" for him to engage in such inappropriate things.
During the Chinese New Year this year, the two of them got into a fight when they disagreed. Gu Jianhui was so angry that he turned over the dining table and smashed his cell phone. Gu Xia slammed the door with a livid face. If it weren't for today being his fucking birthday, he would Won't be back either.
Gu Xia's good mood ended abruptly because of his father's scolding. He stuffed the pillow he caught into Xia Yun's arms and turned to leave, but his mother grabbed his arm.
"My son is finally back. Can you talk to me properly? You can't even read a smartphone. Stop listening to the nonsense of those people outside!"
After Xia Yun finished speaking, she angrily threw the pillow back on Gu Jianhui.
Before Gu Xia came back, she and her husband had given many instructions not to shout or do anything.
"Compared to those who just sit at home and nibble on their old age without even going to work, and those who cause trouble outside and wait for their parents to clean up the mess, our Gu Xia is good enough. He started a business to make money, and we didn't help him. I was busy for the first half of the day. I just shot some videos. Is it embarrassing or unreasonable? You are chattering endlessly all day long. How can you be so embarrassed!"
"I can't understand the poke on my phone, but I still can't understand the video? You, just let him get used to you, he is so frivolous now because you got used to him!"
Gu Jianhui was so angry that the veins on his forehead jumped. He completely forgot the promise he made to his wife before, "I will listen to you today. Let's have a peaceful meal as a family. Is that okay?"
It's all because 5 minutes ago, an old customer in the store sent Gu Jianhui a video. In the video, Gu Xia was wearing a sweaty tight white T-shirt and painting, but the camera didn't even focus on his hands. He was stunned. She slapped him blankly on his plump shoulders and chest.
The video itself made Gu Jianhui very angry, and the other party added fuel to the fire, "Lao Gu, your Xiaoxia is a young man who posts disheveled things on the Internet every day. It's not very decent, right?" ? As a father, why don’t you care about him? "
"Just watch it. No matter how you look at it, it's still a lot of meat. Can you please stop being so old-fashioned?" Gu Xia replied to his father angrily.
"Is this an old-fashioned thing? What's the difference between you and 'selling meat'? I'm going to embarrass you with my old face!"
"I 'sell meat'? Oh, I 'sell meat' too, I learned it from you! 'BBQ Takeshi Kaneshiro', didn't you also go shirtless when grilling skewers in the summer?" Gu Xia retorted.
When Gu Jianhui heard this, he became furious and rushed over, "You brat, what did you say? How dare you say it again!"
"I'm not afraid to say it a hundred times. 'Selling meat' is something our family teaches. This is totally... ugh!" Xia Yun pushed Gu Xia hard, and Gu Xia reluctantly took the last Swallowing the sentence back into her stomach, Xia Yun turned around and bumped her head against Gu Jianhui's chest. However, Gu Jianhui usually only worked out when grilling skewers. He was almost 50 years old and was still covered in tendons. Xia Yun bumped her head into Gu Jianhui's chest and he didn't move at all. Xia Yun almost twisted her neck.
"You want to take action, right? Come on, come on, hit me here! Beat me to death. Beat me to death and you'll be done with it!" Xia Yun held her neck with one hand and quickly motioned for Gu Xia to leave quickly with the other hand behind her, but Gu Xia blocked him. Dad took one look, shouted "I'll be back soon", then slammed the door and left.
"You...who are you yelling at, you brat? You are really getting smaller and smaller!" Gu Jianhui carefully supported Xia Yun, but did not forget to continue shouting at the slammed door.
"What's the big deal? It's obviously you who picked it first! What did I tell you? Gu Jianhui, you have to make this family break up completely so that you can feel comfortable and happy, right?"
Xia Yun beat her wife's chest vigorously. The more she beat, the more aggrieved she felt. In the blink of an eye, tears rolled down her face, "Why is my life so miserable! My son came back after a long time, and he gave up without even sitting down." You kicked me out, I...it's my birthday today, can't you just let me have a good day? Gu Jianhui, you just want to piss me off, right?"
"...No, how could it be? I just... Ouch, I was so angry just now!"
Gu Jianhui hurriedly wiped his wife's tears, obviously regretting it. He took out his cell phone and wanted to call Gu Xia, but he was very hesitant because of the dignity of being a father.
However, when he saw his crying wife wiping away her tears next to her, Gu Jianhui still bravely called the phone, only to find that the ringing sound was right outside the door.
Gu Xia didn't go far at all. As soon as Xia Yun opened the door, he took out a palm-sized jewelry box from his coat pocket and handed it over, "Mom, happy birthday."
Before Xia Yun wiped the tears from her face, she took the box with a smile, not forgetting to take a look at Gu Jianhui, "Some people, after living a long time, are no longer as good as children."
Gu Jianhui was in a bad situation, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything. Gu Xia was also dragged into the door by his mother's arms.
Gu Xia sat at the dinner table and took two sips of soup. He felt a little hot. As soon as he took off his coat and exposed the tattoo sticker, Gu Jianhui's eyes next to him were as wide as copper bells.
Just as he was about to speak, Xia Yun kicked him in the calf, and then shoved an extremely tightly packed bowl of rice in front of him. The gold bracelet on his wrist, which weighed at least fifty grams, was extremely conspicuous. Jin Guang wanted to blind Gu Jianhui, "Eat more and talk less!"
Gu Jianhui put his tongue on his cheek and stretched out his hand to give Gu Xia two hard nods. Gu Xia deliberately did not explain to his father and took the rice from his mother with a smile, "Thank you, Mom... do you feel the loop on this bracelet?" The mouth is a bit big, can I accompany you to change it after dinner?"
"No, it's nice to be a little rich." Xia Yun touched the bracelet with satisfaction.
The two of them were loving mothers and filial piety, but Gu Jianhui was so angry that he was groaning.
Gu Jianhui took a big mouthful of rice, looked at his phone with a broken screen, and finally thought of a birthday gift for his wife.
After eating for a while, he took his wife to buy the latest model. The one Xia Yun was using just happened to be eliminated for him.
