642: Chapter 640: Father and Son Reunion 642: Chapter 640: Father and Son Reunion “Niu…

Niu Ming?

You’re back?”

Uncle Niu stayed stupefied for two or three seconds before he realized, and saw Niu Ming standing behind Chen Yang!

“Yeah, Dad!

I came back to see you.” Niu Ming nodded earnestly, his eyes red.

Uncle Niu was overjoyed, rushing out the door and directly grabbed Niu Ming’s shoulders.

“It really is you, kid, you really came back!” Uncle Niu was very excited, constantly shaking Niu Ming.

And Niu Ming was even more emotional, tears of excitement and guilt streaming out ceaselessly.

Then, he couldn’t help himself, and hugged Uncle Niu tightly, father and son embracing each other just like that.

Seeing the emotional father and son, Chen Yang consciously stepped back, giving the two of them more space.

“Why did you suddenly come back, kid?

Is everything okay in the city?” After hugging for a while and letting go, Uncle Niu suddenly started asking joyfully.

He glanced over at Chen Yang, and after seeing only Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi, he seemed a bit disappointed.

“Where are your wife and kid?

Why didn’t you bring them back for your dad to see?”

Uncle Niu suddenly brought this up, causing all three to be startled, not knowing what to say.

“Dad, let’s talk about this later.

I’ll move my stuff inside first,” said Niu Ming calmly.

“Oh, right, right, come in first, come in first.” Uncle Niu, not noticing anything amiss, promptly took the things from Niu Ming’s hands and also invited Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi to come in and sit.

“We’ll pass, Uncle Niu.

With Niu Ming back, you two must have a lot to catch up on, we won’t disturb you,” Chen Yang said with a smile, declining.

Yang Ruoxi felt the same.

“Ah, Yang Zi, you talk as if you’re an outsider.

With our relationship, what’s this about disturbing?

Come on in.

I haven’t started cooking yet either; let’s all have something to eat together.

You’d be too lazy to cook after you get back,” Uncle Niu still warmly urged, and seeing Chen Yang not moving, he even started to pull them in.

With Uncle Niu insisting like that, Chen Yang naturally felt it would be impolite to refuse anymore, so he nodded to Yang Ruoxi, and they both entered the house.

“Just sit for a bit, I’ll get you some tea, it must have been tiresome coming all this way.” After they were seated, Uncle Niu immediately fetched some cups and then went to pour tea.

It was as if a distinguished guest had arrived at the house.

Uncle Niu’s warmth made Niu Ming feel both comforted and guilty.

“Dad, let me cook today.

You sit with Yang Zi,” said Niu Ming, feeling bad and wanting to take initiative and cook.

But before he could stand up, Uncle Niu refused.

“What are you being so formal with me for, boy?

You just sit there and chat with Yang Zi.

I’ll handle the cooking, and later we’ll all have a drink together.”

Uncle Niu chuckled and headed to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Niu Ming didn’t follow and just sat with Chen Yang in the living room.

But no one spoke; it was very silent.

Chen Yang knew Niu Ming was in a complicated mood and didn’t want to disturb him.

At this moment, Niu Ming was internally wrestling with how to start talking and tell Uncle Niu about his real situation.

He had been keeping up this facade for several years now, with Uncle Niu believing he was doing well and even had a wife and child.

Now, suddenly having to unravel his own lies, he really didn’t know how to do it, and he was also clueless about Uncle Niu’s possible reaction.

Would he be disappointed?

Or furious?

Thinking about all this gave Niu Ming a headache, and he felt lost, not knowing what to do.

All he could do was take out the Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and light them one by one.

“Niu Ming, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.

You have to come clean to Uncle Niu today; the longer you wait, the harder it’ll be to deal with.

Better to take this opportunity,” Chen Yang observed Niu Ming’s condition and comforted him.

Niu Ming took a deep drag and nodded, “Mhm, I know.”

“Good that you know.

You have to say these things yourself,” Chen Yang nodded, then once again fell silent.

About half an hour had passed, and Uncle Niu came out of the kitchen, cheerfully carrying two bottles of white liquor.

“Dinner might be a bit late; I just slaughtered a chicken, it’s still stewing,” said Uncle Niu with a smile.

“Haha, it’s okay, Uncle Niu, it’s no big deal to eat later.

Anyway, I’m not very hungry at the moment,” Chen Yang replied with a smile.

“Good.” Uncle Niu smiled and placed the white liquor on the table, then noticed the Chunghwa cigarettes Niu Ming had put on the table.

“Wow, you’re really making something of yourself now, even smoking Chunghwa?” Uncle Niu said with a hint of pride in his voice.

At these words, Niu Ming was stunned and didn’t know how to respond.

“Even if you are doing well, you should smoke less of these cigarettes.

Not only are they bad for your health, but they’re also too expensive.

Save your money,” Uncle Niu advised, not noticing the look of distress on Niu Ming’s face, and went back to the kitchen.

Perhaps another forty-five minutes had gone by before Uncle Niu came out of the kitchen with the meals.

It was apparent that Niu Ming’s return had truly made Uncle Niu very happy.

Since seeing Niu Ming, the smile had never once faded from Uncle Niu’s face.

For this occasion, he had even gone out of his way to slaughter a chicken, and after nearly two hours, he finally had the meal ready.

After setting the meal on the table, Uncle Niu cheerfully gestured for everyone to start eating, then he opened the two bottles of white liquor and poured a full glass for both Chen Yang and Niu Ming.

“Niu Ming, you haven’t been home for quite a few years now.

Tonight, you and I must have a good chat,” he said.

Niu Ming, still contemplating how to broach the subject with Uncle Niu, hurriedly nodded upon hearing his words, “Okay, Dad.”

“Mm.”

Uncle Niu nodded in satisfaction, then turned to ask Yang Ruoxi if she wanted a drink as well.

Knowing that she would likely have to drink a lot tonight and that her tolerance was poor, Yang Ruoxi quickly shook her head, “Uncle Niu, I’ll pass.

I can’t hold my liquor.”

Uncle Niu just laughed at this and didn’t insist on pouring Yang Ruoxi a drink, instead, he got her some juice and other beverages.

“Come on, let’s have a drink first.”

After pouring juice for Yang Ruoxi, Uncle Niu couldn’t wait to happily raise his glass in a toast.

Seeing this, both Niu Ming and Chen Yang picked up their glasses, clinked them together, and downed their drinks.

With the first glass of liquor, the atmosphere became much more lively.

The conversation flowed freely at the table.

Uncle Niu started by asking Niu Ming some questions about why he had come back so suddenly, whether he had resolved issues of owing money for his business, and similar matters.

Confronted with these questions, Niu Ming managed to react quickly.

He began to explain the specifics of the situation to Uncle Niu.

Hearing that all the business debts were paid off and that Niu Ming planned to develop his opportunities back home, Uncle Niu became even more elated, bursting into hearty laughter.

“That’s good, my boy, developing here at home is great.

Now you can join your old man for a couple of drinks whenever you like,” Uncle Niu said with a big laugh.

“Yeah, Dad.

I’m planning to stay here from now on, not going away any longer.

There are more opportunities in the village,” Niu Ming nodded with a smile.

“Right, that’s true.

A mine has recently opened up in the village; you could find a job there.

Or maybe you could work under Yang Zi—he’s got quite a few businesses running here now.

There’s no need for you to go elsewhere,” suggested Uncle Niu while lifting his glass and drinking it all at once.

After finishing, he picked up the bottle to pour more liquor.

As he poured another round, something else came to his mind, and he asked, “By the way, if you’re planning to develop here, why didn’t you bring your wife and child with you?”

At these words, Niu Ming’s body trembled slightly—the crucial topic had been broached.

Niu Ming felt very tense.

His eyes involuntarily glanced toward Chen Yang.

Chen Yang gave him a firm look, signaling him to tell the truth.
