174 Homecoming
Seeing Chen Xiu come back, Chen's mother managed a table full of ten bowls, like a banquet, and Chen Xiu's belly swelled.
At the dinner table, the family talked and laughed, Chen Xiu took the opportunity to learn some things about Chen Han at school, after the beginning of the school year, no one dared to deliberately find fault with her, but from her conversation, she found that she is now completely integrated into the life of the city;
is different from Chen Han's high spirits, but Chen's father and Chen's mother are erratic in their eyes, obviously having something on their minds.
After dinner, Chen Han and Chen's mother went to the kitchen to wash dishes, and the father and son went to the balcony to smoke.
"Dad, is something wrong, I see that you and Mom have something on your mind. ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing. ”
"Dad, if there is anything we father and son can't say, if you have something on your mind, just tell me. Are you unhappy in your life?"
"Good food and drink, what else are we not happy about. Father Chen shook his head and said, "It's ......."
"What's wrong?"
"It's that your mother and I are used to working hard, and we have eaten and slept every day for the past month, and our bones are rusty, and we are not as comfortable as we used to be in the countryside every day in front of the grain in the field. ”
I see.
"This is my negligence, my father and mother don't have any acquaintances in the city, usually Chen Han doesn't even have anyone to talk to when he goes to school, no wonder they are unhappy. Chen Xiu felt guilty for a while.
"Xiao Xiu, Dad knows that you are filial, and he took us to the city to make the two of us live more comfortably, but your mother and I are used to the life of sunrise and sunset in the countryside......"
Listening to the meaning of Chen's father's words, he wanted to go back to the countryside, Chen Xiu naturally wouldn't agree to this, and finally tricked the two of them into coming to the city, how could he let the two of them go back so easily.
Chen Xiu hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Dad, it's because I'm too busy during this time to spend time with you, so let's do it, tomorrow weekend, we will go out for a day as a family, so that you won't feel lonely." ”
Seeing that Chen's father wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Xiu deliberately took out his mobile phone to look at it, and hurriedly said, "It's not early, I'll go back first." I'll pick you up tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, and you go to bed early. ”
Father Chen couldn't refuse, Chen Xiu hurriedly shouted to Mother Chen, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, "Mom, I'll go back first!"
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Chen's mother hurriedly ran out with a bowl that had not been cleaned.
"Old man, did you tell your son?"
Chen's father smiled bitterly and said: "I want to say that my son ran away under the pretext of not saying half of the words, and said that he would take us out to play tomorrow." ”
Chen's mother glanced at Chen's father, especially when she saw that Chen's father was still holding a cigarette in his hand, and scolded angrily: "If you can't pass a word to your son, what else can you do." If you smoke, you will smoke, and you will not smoke to death!"
Father Chen was helpless in the face of his wife's abuse, and quickly put out the cigarette, and felt a scarlet stomach in his heart, "I have quit smoking." This cigarette is still you asked me to buy it when you buy vegetables at night, so that I can smoke with my son after dinner and talk about going back to the countryside...... Why are you cursing people if this thing doesn't work out!"
......
The next day, Chen Xiu drove the family in a Hummer to the Liuyang Reservoir on the outskirts of Ansan City.
In recent years, Ansan City has attached great importance to civil affairs projects, invested more than one billion yuan in it, and made a sidewalk around the reservoir along the reservoir, planting some flowers on both sides, but it has become a place for many Ansan citizens on weekends.
Chen Xiu and Chen Han were very happy to see the flowers and plants, but Chen's mother said that the people in the city were really wasteful, and it would be better if leeks were planted on both sides, and they were separated by stubble.
Well, this was a failure.
The scenery of the reservoir twice is very good, there are water and mountains, the air in the urban area is also fresh, and the flowers and plants are also pleasing to the eye.
However, this landscape is not as good as the mountains of my hometown, the water is beautiful, and no matter how good the flowers and plants are, in the eyes of Chen's father and Chen's mother, it is not as practical as planting melons and fruits.
Chen Xiu originally wanted to take advantage of the second elder's fun to propose to let the two of them live for a while longer, but it seems that this plan is going to be ruined.
"Xiao Xiu, your dad also told you last night, the two of us feel that we are really unaccustomed to living in the city, Xiao Han is also in school most of the time now, and I can adapt to it, the two of us ......"
Hearing Chen's mother's request to go back again, Chen Xiu hurriedly pointed to a farmhouse in front and said, "Dad, Mom, you're tired after walking for a long time, let's go to the front for dinner." This is a farmhouse, all of which are self-grown vegetables and fruits and their own free-range chickens, which definitely meet your appetite, I will go over and book a table for you first!"
Without waiting for Chen's mother to refuse, Chen Xiu ran over directly.
"This kid, this is deliberately not letting us speak!" Chen's mother couldn't see Chen Xiu's careful thoughts.
"Or ...... We will follow our son's wishes, stay for another month and then go back to him?" Chen's father suggested.
"No, we have been out for more than a month, and the fields are deserted. If you want to stay in the city, stay here by yourself, and I'll go back by myself!" Hearing that his wife was going to rebel, Chen's mother opened fire directly.
"What do I want to live, I also want to go back to the country. ”
"You don't think you'll tell your son yet!"
"Good...... Okay, I'll talk to my son when we're done. ”
"Okay, if you can't do it again, you sleep on the sofa tonight!"
“......”
......
Firewood chicken, farmhouse fried meat, scrambled eggs with leeks, three fresh egg soup, and stir-fried vegetables are some home-cooked dishes, which are very delicious.
"Dad, Mom, eat quickly, it's all farm food, the same as what we grow in our hometown. ”
Chen's mother first pinched a muscle, chewed it and put down the chopsticks, and Chen's father only took a bite of leek scrambled eggs when he saw her, with a disappointed expression on his face.
"Is it that unpalatable?"
Chen Xiu took a piece of chicken and chewed it, the chicken didn't smell like chicken, and he sandwiched a chopstick to stir-fry seasonal vegetables, but the vegetables didn't taste like vegetables.
"This ...... That's not right, this meat...... Cuisine...... Why doesn't it taste right?"
"Of course it's not right, this is not a free-range chicken at all, it is a fake chicken that has been raised from feed for a month after it has grown up, so this meat is chewy and chewy, but it tastes like no meat.
Vegetables are also cultivated with compound fertilizer, not farmhouse fertilizer at all, looking green and green, the growth cycle is too short, and it is ripe, so the taste is not good. Mother Chen said bluntly.
"Mom, why are you so clear?" Chen Han asked admiringly.
"Of course I know, your dad and I have been growing vegetables all our lives, how can I not know. ”
Chen Xiu's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: "Dad and Mom want to go back to the countryside not because they are too bored in the city and have nothing to do. Since they love farming and raising chickens so much, it would be nice if I bought a farmhouse for them to be busy!"
