put on a show

A cold air coming down from the south, the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees overnight, and the wind blew all night, and it didn't stop until dawn.

Pei Qing also saw that the temperature had cooled down, so the first thing he did was to go to the mall to buy down jackets, thermal underwear, woolen sweaters for his parents.Due to work reasons, Father Pei's lumbar spine is not good. When he catches a cold, his whole lower body will suffer from neuralgia. As he gets older, many treatment methods are not suitable, so he can only pay more attention to maintenance.

Although his family was never short of money, the generation of his parents came from the era of material shortage after all, and they also practiced hard education, and they were all people who were generous to others and made do with themselves.Pei Qing had discovered early on that it was meaningless to give money to his parents, it was just for his own convenience, and now it was all about giving things, and he took care of every aspect of the old couple's life.When he really did this, he realized that it was not easy at all, they were all small things, many and complicated.

He bought clothes for his dad by comparing his figure, and bought clothes for his mother by comparing the figure of the shopping guide.When he went to the store he frequented, the shopping guide enthusiastically recommended the new models to him.Pei Qing also fell in love with a camel hair scarf and bought four of them in one go.

It was only after he carried it out that he realized that he subconsciously bought one for Xing Pei.Pei Qing also stood for a while in the lobby of the shopping mall with her scarf in her hand, thinking whether to take it back or not.Their relationship is obviously not suitable for such a personal gift, but he really likes this scarf, maybe it's good to keep it for himself as a change.

When Xing Pei said that he wanted to pursue him, Pei Qing was indeed a little surprised, but only surprised.He knew that the "pursuit" that Xing Pei said was just an excuse not to let him drive him away, and he had a reason to get close when he wanted to get close.

Besides, Xing Pei doesn't know how to pursue people, and his objective conditions don't allow him to do this.

After finishing talking about chasing Pei Qing last time, Xing Pei didn't show up again until two weeks later in class.After the course was over, Pei Qing took him to eat the Thai food that he didn't eat that time, and then sent him back to the company.It seems that the meal was delayed, and there were phone calls along the way, and I forgot about getting off the car and asking for a kiss when I got to the company, and left in a hurry.

Occasionally he called Pei Qing, but they were in a hurry, and he had to hang up after a few casual greetings.Sometimes I sent a message to Pei Qing, and when I replied, there was no answer. Sometimes I sent the message in the middle of the night, complaining why Pei Qing's phone couldn't get through.

Xing Pei didn't dare to let others know about their relationship, so he couldn't ask for more personal time from the company.Most of the time, he would go home very late after work, and frequently miss the rest time with Pei Qing.Every time I came to see Pei Qing, I had to find many excuses, expended a lot of effort, and had to hide myself tightly.

Pei Qing is also very clear that if they really want to be together, they must cooperate, take the initiative, and take good care of Xing Pei.Xing Pei is too busy, his time is completely occupied by work, and he can't spare any energy to pursue someone well.As long as Pei Qing doesn't take another step, the distance between them will never be completed by Xing Pei alone, and he will soon get tired and give up.Pei Qing didn't plan to do anything, so as not to hurt Xing Pei.Just wait until he cools himself down, wait until he is tired, and it will be over.

Pei Qing was still returning home with a hand full of things, and as soon as Mother Pei received it at the door, she began to complain that he was spending money indiscriminately.

"Hey, I bought so many useless things again. It depends on how much you earn and how much you spend, and what you will use to raise your wife in the future."

Pei Qing was still very helpless, his mother had firmly believed that there was something wrong with him since the last time, and every time they met, she made insinuations about this matter.

"The temperature is cooling down, I bought some clothes for you. I don't have a wife, so I don't need to raise it."

"Not now, but there will always be in the future."

"Then find someone rich to support me from now on."

Mother Pei stared: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Pei Qing also took off his coat and hung it at the door, and scanned the living room: "Where's my dad?"

Mother Pei pouted towards the study: "In the study, Lao Chen recently introduced a student who learns piano."

"student?"

"Yes."

"The old man is not too hard."

"I can't help it, your Uncle Chen introduced it."

When Father Pei was young, apart from acting and attending classes at the academy, he hardly ever took care of his disciples in private.Over the years, I have brought two of them, both sons of old friends.Both disciples are now internationally renowned pianists.The old Chen that Pei's mother said was their old dean. Pei's father had many conflicts with him before, but after retiring, he became a good friend.

Of course Pei Qing also knew that recruiting apprentices was definitely not something that Lao Chen could just say.It's just that his father is retired now and he's getting older, so there's not much to do when he rehires, and there are no performances, the old man is lonely.Mother Pei didn't say it clearly, probably because she was afraid that her son would think too much.

The two were talking, and the sound of the piano in the study came out.

Pei Qing listened for a while, then nodded and commented: "It's not bad."

"The young man looks pretty too." When she said this, Mother Pei gave Pei Qing a meaningful look.

Pei Qing was still looking at his mother speechlessly. Mother Pei had unprecedented enthusiasm for his lifelong event, as if every boy she liked would have to think about whether this person might become her old Pei family's "" Daughter-in-law".

"Mom, go and cook."

"Come here, too, and pick vegetables for me."

"Where's Auntie?"

"I let her go home."

"..."

Auntie Pei's job is really easy. Mother Pei treats her like her old sister. They always work together, and they let people go home to rest every few days.Later, the aunt felt ashamed to receive her salary, so she called Pei Qing and asked Pei Qing to lower her salary.

"Mom, she is here to take care of you and my dad. You make it difficult for others to do this. You didn't ask for salary last time."

"You don't want to give people a salary. Her son has cerebral palsy and his hands and feet are not working. She is supporting him."

"Then you should make people work hard."

"Isn't she in poor health, she'll be fine after two days of rest." Then she stuffed a handful of beans and returned them to Pei Qing, "Don't worry about it, pick the beans for me."

Seeing that he had cooked several hard dishes and braised pork, Pei Qing also told his mother: "If you can't finish cooking so many dishes, the second meal will not taste good. You and my father want to eat less animal fat, why do you still eat it?" Serve the braised pork."

"It's not what I ate."

"I don't like to eat either."

Mother Pei smiled and said, "It's not for you, it's for your dad's new students."

"..."

"That child will please your father." Mother Pei lowered her voice in the kitchen, and told her son about the old man's secrets, "Your father loves that Qiping character, last time I asked you to find a way to make him a picture, You pushed back and forth. Guess what, the newly recruited disciple just sent a pair, and it was Mr. Ren Qi’s work in the last two years, but your father was so happy, he wished he could be his godson.”

Mother Pei's tone was sour, it is estimated that the old man usually shows off to her a lot.

However, when Pei Qing heard that it was not the case, he frowned and asked, "Qi Ping's words also have six digits, will my dad accept it?"

"Don't accept it, how can you accept hundreds of thousands of things for no reason. But the child said, you can't let your father teach him to play the piano for free, just as a lesson fee. Your father thought it made sense, so he accepted it. It’s gone.” Mother Pei told Pei Qing while putting shredded green onion on a plate of steamed fish, “Don’t talk about him, he has only a few hobbies except Qin. He won't suffer a word."

Pei Qing still frowned: "I'm afraid you two will suffer." The old couple are innocent, and they are both engaged in art. They always seem not very shrewd in the world, and they have a warm heart, but they don't know when to act. When should it not be used.Pei Qing has watched her parents help many people since she was a child, but she was tricked.

Now suddenly there is such a person who pleases his parents, and the news reports every day that those who sell health care products for the elderly treat the elderly more than their own parents, until there is no coffin left for the other party.In the eyes of that kind of people, the old couple are big fat meat on the cutting board, no wonder the initial investment is so willing.

Mother Pei poured a spoonful of hot oil on the shredded ginger on the steamed fish, and with a "squeak", the fragrance overflowed: "What's wrong with you?"

"Who knows, there will be no pie in the sky, you and my father should be careful, don't treat everyone as your own son." Pei Qing was thinking that he would know what kind of guy he was after having a meal with that young man.

"Who do you take as your own son? I said that you have not corrected your bad mouth after so many years. You really lack tutoring. I blame me for not having time to teach you when I was young."

Pei Qing didn't say a word, this is the empress dowager at home, it's really troublesome to be angry.

"It smells so good, what delicious food did my wife cook today?"

Before the people arrived, the voice came first, and a sigh came from the living room into the kitchen, Pei Qing also heard this voice as if struck by lightning, and immediately stiffened his back.Immediately, the person who just spoke turned to the kitchen door, his eyes swept over Pei Qinghuan, and landed on the plate of fish on the cooking table.

"The teacher said to come here first in the morning and practice in the afternoon. Are you going to eat soon? I'll serve the food."

Pei Qing still stared at him: "Why are you?"

The corners of Xing Pei's mouth turned up just right, with a charming smile on his face: "It's me, the company asked me to develop my expertise, so I found a teacher to learn from. What a coincidence, Teacher Pei."

Pei Qing still had a colorful face, Xing Pei rarely saw such a rich expression on his face, and wanted to laugh very much.Afraid of irritating Pei Qing, he pursed his lips.

What a coincidence, Pei Qing didn't see a coincidence from Xing Pei's face at all.He still hasn't forgotten that he once told Xing Pei that his father was a pianist. A man, he should keep his mouth shut and work hard on the bed. Why did he say those words? Now the wolf cubs are chasing him home up.

Xing Pei brought the fish on the cooking table, and Mother Pei told him to be careful about boiling it, and then returned the pot of braised pork to Pei Qing, asking him to take it out.

It is only now that Pei Qing understands the meaning of his mother's meaningful eyes at the beginning.He showed her the stills, and she knew that the two knew each other.For Pei's mother, who is used to observing words and expressions and using divergent thinking to think about the major events in her son's life, has she already noticed something?

The two stood on both sides of the dining table with a one-meter-wide table in between, staring at each other amidst the mouth-watering aroma of food on the table.

"Xing Pei, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I said it last time, chasing you, Mr. Pei. Oh, now I call your dad Mr. Pei, and it's inappropriate to call you teacher again," he said, turning the table and walking to Pei Qinghuan with a smile "Brother Pei, what's your name like?"
