The twisted melon is sweet

Chapter 107

Seeing his mother coming out of the kitchen, Chen Xi first shouted to the living room: "Xiao Xi is back!" and then smiled at him.Chen Xi thought for a moment, is there a guest at home?He stretched his head to look, and saw his father sitting on the sofa upright, with a serious expression on his face, so he called out politely: "Hello, Dad!"

Zhao Tan also stuck out his head from behind Chen Xi, and politely called, "Hello, Uncle!"

Seeing Chen Donglin glaring at Chen Xi, Chen's mother leaned over and forced a smile when she saw the classmates behind Chen Xi, and said, "Okay".

Although Chen's mother was also very angry with Chen Xi these few days, but seeing Chen's father's attitude, she began to feel sorry for her son again.Seeing that Chen Xi had changed into her slippers, she said, "Come to the kitchen with your classmate and see what delicious food I have made."

Chen Xi followed his mother into the kitchen, pulled Zhao Tan from behind and introduced, "Mom, this classmate, you have seen him several times. His name is Zhao Tan."

As soon as Zhao Tan entered the kitchen and smelled the smell of braised fish, he bent down to say hello while swallowing, "Hello, Auntie, Chen Xi and I live in the same dormitory."

Chen Ma's hand waving the pot and shovel suddenly stopped. He and Chen Xi live in the same dormitory?Oh, yes, I went to the dormitory to look for Chen Xi before, she had clearly seen him.But why do you feel something is wrong now?Chen Ma thought for a while, turned the fish over with a spatula, and asked, "How many people are there in your dormitory?"

Zhao Tan used to win favor in front of Chen Ma, and replied neatly: "There are six people living in our dormitory. Only Chen Xi and I are in the same class, and the other roommates are one level higher than us, and they all went out for internships." .”

Chen Ma's hands trembled, and a mistake almost turned the fish out of the pot. She simply stopped and asked Zhao Tan: "Then are there only two of you left in the dormitory?"

"That's right!" Zhao Tan swallowed back the last sentence "Fortunately, Chen Xi is back". He knew that this question was the cat's tail of Chen Xi and Chen Ma, so he was determined not to step on it!

Chen Xi didn't know why his mother suddenly became interested in his dormitory. He stroked his chin and said, "Mom, we've had dinner at school, come and stay for a while and then go back."

Chen Ma acted as if she didn't hear Chen Xi's words, she looked at Zhao Tan again, only to see that Zhao Tan's hair was messy, and as a Virgo, she wished she could use a comb to smooth out the messy hair.Zhao Tan also had small eyes, so small that she wanted to find a matchstick to prop up his eyelids, so that she could see his inner world clearly.

It was only then that Chen's mother realized that since she knew that her son liked men, she had looked at the male classmates who appeared around her son with an abnormally critical eye.She sighed, and said, "Okay. Anyway, your father and I have something to talk about, so you can go back to school if you have nothing to do." When she thought of going back to school, her son would live with Zhao Tan, she felt relieved and said Not sure what it feels like.

Chen Xi and Zhao Tan came out of the kitchen and bid farewell to Father Chen.

As soon as he left Chen Xi's house, Zhao Tan rolled his little eyes dissatisfied, and said, "I thought I could eat the fish cooked by your mother, but if I don't hold back, my saliva could flow three thousand feet."

Chen Xi said: "You haven't seen my dad's poker face, you won't be able to eat when you keep it."

Zhao Tan thought for a while, and Chen's father was indeed too serious, so he nodded and said, "You are right. However, your father is not often at home, so why is he so unhappy when he comes back?"

Chen Xi thought, he was not happy because he came back.He tugged Zhao Tan's arm and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to braised chicken and rice. There's a restaurant in front of you that does a pretty good job."

Zhao Tan swallowed his saliva and asked, "Is there any delicious fish cooked by your mother?"

"Yes!" Chen Xi answered loudly this time, "Didn't you find out what was with the fish in the pot?"

Zhao Tan thought for a while and said, "The light is too dim, I couldn't see clearly."

Chen Xi said: "Dried bitter melon."

Bitter melon is Zhao Tan's Achilles' heel.Sure enough, Zhao Tan cried out in pain, "No!"

Here Chen Ma waited for Chen Xi and the others to leave, feeling very unhappy, so she threw the chopsticks in her hand onto the dining table and said, "What face are you putting on your son? Speaking of which, my son will soon be twenty, and he will be an adult."

Chen Donglin raised his eyelids and looked at her, and said, "Huh? It's not that you said that my son is getting worse and worse, that it's because I didn't fulfill my responsibilities. As soon as I want to take care of it, you get used to it. I said if it wasn't You are used to your son, how could he become like this?"

After wiping her hands on the apron, Chen's mother tore it off, threw it on the dining table, and said angrily: "Yes, my son is used to this, how about you? As a father, you do it for your son." what?"

Chen Donglin felt a little surprised, the woman in front of him was dissatisfied with him, he knew it well.For so many years, he has devoted his mind to another woman. If he wants to say that he has done his best for his wife, he really has not done it.The way he and his wife have been getting along for so many years is that they know each other about this, but they don't talk about it.The economic base determines the superstructure. He regards himself as the overlord at home precisely because his wife’s life is completely supported by him. He can boss her around or ignore her. Mood.

But now his wife has obviously changed, daring to challenge his dominance.

Chen Donglin patted the coffee table with a "bang" and said, "You ask me what I did for my son? Don't you think about it. Since you were young, didn't I give you both food and clothing? I want to ask Ask, what contribution do you have in this family?"

Chen Ma opened a pet shop this time. She has personally experienced the process of decoration, handling procedures, dealing with various people such as business, taxation, and landlords, and recruiting helpers. She has accumulated much more experience than she did in the first half of her life.

She thought of her former self, the humble self who put all her feelings on her husband's face, and felt that she was so pitiful that it was ridiculous.Now, she sees things from another angle.

Hearing what Dad Chen said, she curled her lips, took out a calculator from her pocket and put it on the table, and said, "Should I do the math? From the time the child was born to the present, in the past 20 years, I have hired a housekeeper to do housework and asked a nanny to see how much the child needs." Money? Do you think my contribution is zero? Haha, joke! Look at this house, every corner has my contribution, if it is converted into money, I am afraid that you will not be able to pay it back."

Chen Donglin was really taken aback, this woman can do it?How could it be different from before? !However, he still had that unconcerned look on his face, he waved his hand and said, "If it's so clear, is it still a family?"

"Yeah. I hope you remember that we are a family!" Chen Ma won this round, and she made up another shot.

Chen Donglin frowned and said, "Didn't you tell me to come back and talk about Chen Xi? Why are you talking so much!"

Chen's mother said: "That's right. When you first entered the house, I made it clear about your son's situation. What do you think should be done?"

When Chen Donglin first heard about this incident, he was very surprised, but he didn't take it seriously. There are many more important things than this, such as the lack of capital turnover, and the high price of demolished households. He didn't think of these things. Method.As for the son, whether he is confused or likes men, what's the big deal?Thinking of this, he said, "Sometimes it's going to rain, and there's nothing you can do about it." Seeing Chen Ma's eyes widening, he added, "You should try to persuade him when you are with your son."

Chen Ma sighed and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Chen Donglin went to the balcony, pretending to appreciate the flowers and plants planted by Chen Ma, but he took his mobile phone and kept calling Lu Ruolin.No one answered the phone, so Chen Donglin had no choice but to put the phone back in his pocket in dismay.
