After a few words with Song Qiao at the top of the mountain, Xu Jie simply stopped eating, changed her clothes and opened the door to go out.

"Makes you laugh. Song Qiaoshan lit a cigarette and sat beside Hu Mingchen.

In the past, Song Qiaoshan's image in Hu Mingchen was glorious, but today he let Hu Mingchen see another side of himself, and Song Qiaoshan felt that he was not happy on face.

"Master, how can you see a smile or not smile, I can understand you, I also think your choice is right, perhaps, this is the truth of life. Hu Mingchen said seriously.

Song Qiaoshan felt that Hu Mingchen would make fun of him, but in fact, Hu Mingchen could not do that at all. Instead, he thought that Song Qiaoshan was right to choose to stay away from Xu Jie's brothers and sisters. Even if Hu Mingchen is just a small person, he is not used to the performance of Xu Xiyu and Xu Jie, as well as that Yue Yurong, who looks like he is self-righteous in clothes, this kind of person, if he does not restrain himself, he will be unlucky sooner or later.

In addition, Hu Mingchen also understands why ancient people should pay attention to marriage and be the right person. If the two families are not equal in status and strength, it will cause an imbalance in married life.

Song Qiaoshan is getting along with the Xu family now, it is unbalanced, whether it is Xu Xiyu or Xu Jie, in front of Song Qiaoshan, he always seems to be stronger, and even looks down on Song Qiaoshan. At this point, when Hu Mingchen entered the door, he saw the apron tied on Song Qiao's waistside, and he noticed it.

On the contrary, only Xu Ren seems to treat Song Qiaoshan as a family member sincerely, and perhaps because of this, Song Qiaoshan will choose to endure and continue to endure.

"The authenticity of life, the authenticity of life ......" Song Qiaoshan silently recited Hu Mingchen's words twice, "Indeed, life should be truthful, and real life is like this." There is often a big deviation between what we see in other people's lives and what others live by themselves. The onlooker knows that this sentence is not quite correct on this. ”

"Master, do you live here when you come back to the provincial capital? You don't have a house in the provincial capital?" asked Hu Mingchen.

"No, sometimes I live here, sometimes I live in the countryside?" Song Qiaoshan shook his head slightly.

"Do you have land and a house in the countryside?" Hu Mingchen felt a little surprised.

"No, it's my mom in the country. ”

"Oh, does grandma live alone in the countryside? why don't you take the city to live, and grandpa?" asked Hu Mingchen with his head tilted.

"My dad had passed away for many years, and my mom thought it was too noisy in the city, so she went back to live in an old house in the countryside. The family's land was returned to the state, but the house was retained, and a small vegetable garden was also given. She likes the quiet life, my cousin's family lives next door, and they usually help take care of it. Speaking of his mother, Song Qiaoshan's face showed a touch of loss and guilt.

As a son, it should have been his responsibility to take care of his mother, but it turned out that this responsibility was fulfilled by his cousin.

Of course, Song Qiaoshan is not the kind of person who is not filial, firstly, Song Qiaoshan worked in the township before, and the conditions were very limited, and secondly, even if he wanted to take his mother with him, his mother was unwilling.

Song Qiaoshan's mother wanted to stay where she and her wife lived, and when Song Qiaoshan and Xu Jie got married, his mother also agreed and supported it. Song Qiaoshan's mother also knew that her son's relationship with Xu Jie was not very harmonious, and the more this happened, the more unwilling she was to trouble them.

In terms of economic conditions, Song Qiaoshan's current situation is not difficult, although her cousin's family takes care of her, but financially, the market supports her cousin's family. Song Qiaoshan's mother has her own retirement salary, and in addition, she can also get a pension left by her wife from **. In life, there is no problem at all.

"Master, does grandma live far away from here, shall we go and see her?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"Drive for two hours, you don't have to go, Song Qian and I just saw her yesterday and had two meals with her. ”

"Master, I think we should visit her old man more, if you think the time is not appropriate today, then we will go tomorrow. It's the Chinese New Year, and I think it's very appropriate to go to her for a New Year's greeting and accompany her. Hu Mingchen insisted.

"Qiao Shan, your apprentice is right. Suddenly, Xu Ren appeared at the top of the stairs and happened to hear Hu Mingchen's words behind them.

"Dad, you're angry, I'll bring you and my mom food. Hearing Xu Ren's voice, Song Qiaoshan hurriedly stood up.

Xu Ren shook his hand and walked down the stairs: "Don't worry, Song Qian will give your mother insulin again, and wait for them to come together." Every time she calls her, she doesn't come, this New Year, you should really go to accompany her more. Bai Ying has changed a lot since your father is gone. Once, I asked the driver to take us two old men to see her, and your mother invited us to a corn meal, and she seemed busy all afternoon, and she didn't have much time to talk. ”

"My mom was afraid to see old friends, and when she saw you, she easily remembered my dad. Song Qiaoshan helped Xu Ren sit down and said.

"Hey, I'm afraid to think of your father, but she has to live in an old house again. According to me, she should live in a dry rest house, and be taken care of by someone for her daily life. It's really not good, and it's okay to live here. Xu Ren sighed and said.

"Dad, I also persuaded her, she won't go to the dry rest house, let alone live here. My mom came down, and I went to serve the food and set the chopsticks. Saying that, Song Qiaoshan saw Song Qian helping her wife downstairs, and quickly got up.

Song Qian's grandmother has diabetes, so she has to take insulin often to control it. At first, it was the life doctor who was in charge of the work, but later, after learning it at home, he was in charge of it. Sometimes Xu Ren beat her, and sometimes Song Qian beat her.

Hearing that Song Qian gave her wife insulin, Hu Mingchen's impression of this girl changed slightly, at least this proud swan is not pampered and useless.

"Young man, thank you for coming to visit the New Year today, will you drink? Would you like to have a drink?" At the dinner table, Xu Ren said to Hu Mingchen.

After Xu Ren came downstairs, he didn't ask Xu Xiyu and Xu Jie a word. He wasn't worried at all that they would leave the house without food, and past experience had taught him that every time he got angry, they would leave the house to avoid the limelight.

Only Song Qiaoshan, whether he is criticized or counted, will stay.

"Grandpa, thank you, I don't drink. If you drink, my master will accompany you to grow old. Hu Mingchen thanked politely.

"Dad, I'll have a drink with you. Song Qiaoshan said.

"It's okay to drink it, it's the New Year, I'll allow it, but it's just a small cup, and I can't do it more. Song Qian's grandmother said.

Xu Ren's blood pressure is high, so in terms of drinking, his wife is strictly controlled by him, and if he usually does not drink at all.

"Okay, a small glass then. Qiao Shan, why don't you hurry up and get the wine?"

Song Qiaoshan usually seems to be a person who cooks far away, but when Hu Mingchen eats it today, his skills are quite good. Especially the sauerkraut fish he made, which tastes fragrant but not greasy. There is also the braised pork he made, which melts in the mouth and has just the right sweetness.

In order to take care of Song Qian's grandmother's diet, Song Qiaoshan also fried a lean meat bean rice, a lean cabbage and a vinegared shredded potato. Except for a braised shrimp and a steamed hairtail, the rest are ordinary home-cooked dishes.

"Qiao Shan, you don't have much vacation, tomorrow, you will take Song Qian to Xiwen, isn't Xiao Chen going to pay New Year's greetings? He is your apprentice, and it's good to go and see your mother by the way." During the Chinese New Year, accompany her more lively. She lives alone in Xiwen, and she is still quite lonely. Eating and eating, Xu Ren brought up the old thing again.

"Dad, are you going to see grandma again tomorrow? Then what should I prepare for him this time? Do you want mom to go with you?" Song Qian was very happy when she heard that she was going to Xiwen.

"Your grandmother has everything there now, didn't she take a lot of things last time?" Song Qiaoshan said.

Regarding the question of whether Xu Jie wanted to go together, Song Qiaoshan directly filtered it out. He said that whether or not to go together is not the top role, the key depends on Xu Jie himself.

"Of course your mother is going, as a daughter-in-law, don't visit your mother-in-law much, how can you do it, go, go, your family goes. Song Qian, you have to talk to your grandmother more, ah. Song Qian's grandmother said.

"I know, I know, my grandmother likes to talk to me the most, that is, my grandmother always likes to tell me revolutionary stories of the past, and she still tells some of them more than ten times. Song Qian said.

"It is good for you to listen to more revolutionary stories, at least you know how difficult it is to live a happy life today, and you should cherish it. Also, when you go, wring a little wild gastrodia and maca in the locker. Xu Ren said.

"Dad, there were a lot of them last time. Her head stroke is much better, and she lives a simple life, and she is probably not happy to let her have to stew chicken again. Song Qiaoshan said.

"If I go, my grandmother will definitely stew chicken for me." ”

"You girl, you like to eat stewed chicken, grandma just let people stew it for you every day, don't bother your grandma when you go, she's old, you know?" Song Qian's grandmother advised.

After dinner and a cup of tea with them, Hu Mingchen was about to leave.

Xu Ren and Song Qiaoshan both left Hu Mingchen to live at home, saying that there was an empty room at home. But Hu Mingchen still felt that it was better to go outside to live, anyway, there was a hotel at the entrance of the family compound, and he lived in someone's house for the first time, and it was awkward before eating, Hu Mingchen felt that it was not appropriate to stay.

In the end, Song Qiaoshan didn't keep it too much, he knew that Hu Mingchen was not short of that money. In addition, speaking of which, it is not his Song Qiaoshan's real home, and it is not appropriate to leave Hu Mingchen to live.

Song Qiaoshan wanted to send Hu Mingchen out, but Hu Mingchen didn't let him, he asked Song Qian to send it, and Hu Mingchen politely refused. It's troublesome to get in and get out, it should be easy.

It's cold outside at night, and I'm not a child, so why do I need someone to send it.
