Chapter 6: The Son Grows Up

After swaying and riding for a while, he finally arrived home smoothly, Lu Chen stood at the door, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar sluice gate, a little sad.

Took out the key from the school bag, creaked open the sliding door, everything in front of him, it seemed that it was not much different from seventeen years later, the entrance to an imitation mahogany dining table, the wall was still the embroidered wall clock, embroidered with "home and everything is prosperous", like the perfect combination of two parallel worlds.

The only difference is that the small home at the moment is relatively new, the place is not big, about 90 square meters, two bedrooms and two living rooms.

"Mom, Mom!"

Lu Chen changed his slippers and shouted a few times towards the inner room.

Glancing at the food covered on the table, he touched it casually, it was still hot, and he knew that his mother must be waiting for him.

I picked up a piece of beef and put it in my mouth, and I closed my eyes and enjoyed it.

"It's still delicious for my mother's cooking. ”

Lu Chen sucked his fingers, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

Hearing his son's shout, the door opened, and the bright yellow light reflected a tall figure.

Chen Xiuluan walked out of the back room, at this time she was probably working overtime, ******, shoulder-length short hair was slightly curly, bright eyes, high nose bridge, pretty facial features, if it weren't for the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes, it would be impossible to see the age of 45 years old, it can be imagined that the young Chen Xiuluan is also a beauty.

Due to the family environment, the personalities of the two are relatively self-reliant, Chen Xiuluan has always adhered to the education method of becoming a talent with sticks, and Lu Chen, who lacks father's love, has also developed an independent personality since he was a child.

In the previous life, the relationship between mother and son was relatively tense, although they loved each other deeply, they were not good at expressing themselves, they quarreled in three or two sentences, and made trouble in four or five sentences, until Lu Chen made a career later, and his mother was reluctant to go to the big city to accompany him, saying that distance produces beauty.

Goodbye in this life, Lu Chen was a little excited, the corners of his eyes were moist, and he opened his arms to give a big hug.

"Why is it so late? Where are you going? I almost went out to post a missing person notice. ”

As soon as Chen Xiuluan opened his mouth, he scolded like a machine gun: "Do you know what time it is?

Lu Chen was a little embarrassed, daring to love his mother or that mother, the eternal nagging.

"Why don't you hurry up and wash your hands and eat?"

Chen Xiuluan glanced at the plate that was lifted on the table, frowned, and looked disgusted.

Lu Chen scratched his head, grinned and didn't reply, just ran to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiuluan sighed, turned around and went to the kitchen to take out the dishes and chopsticks.

"Eat quietly, what does it look like......?"

"You can't just be quiet, eat like a pig, sizzle......"

"Meat and vegetables should be combined, don't just eat meat, eat more vegetables......"

"Put your feet down, sit upright, shake your feet and scatter your wealth......"

At the dinner table, Chen Xiuluan disliked her son as always, nagging non-stop, perhaps this is a common problem of most mothers, always feel that no matter how big or small their children are, no matter how good they are, they are still inferior to other people's families.

Lu Chen, who was in the rebellious period, used to say a few words, and when it was serious, he shook his face and left, but unexpectedly, Lu Chen didn't fight back tonight, he kept smirking, as if he was still enjoying it.

"Hey, Mom, don't keep staring at me, come, eat this ......"

Lu Chen sandwiched a large piece of fish meat to his mother, smiled at his mother, and continued to eat with his head down.

He knew that his mother actually loved fish the most, but every time he panicked that it was too fishy and left the meat for his son, and said that the fish head was nutritious, and the fish tail was alive and tender......

Looking at the fish in the bowl, Chen Xiuluan paused, she could clearly feel that her son was different today, as if he was a different person, but she couldn't tell what was different.

She also stopped nagging and ate with her head down.

Lu Chen saw through it and didn't say anything, and continued to eat with his mother naturally, chatting about trivial things when he had nothing to do, and trying not to show his feet.

After dinner, Chen Xiuluan urged Lu Chen to take a bath, she said that she would wash her clothes early, and when Lu Chen went to take a bath, she cleaned up the table alone.

That's the daily routine of this little family.

When Lu Chen came out of the wash, the living room was quiet, leaving only a little light through the half-hidden door of his mother's room.

In the past, Lu Chen would choose to ignore it, habitually walking into his room, and the two of them took care of their own affairs.

Tonight, for the first time, Lu Chen looked at his mother in front of the desk through the crack in the door.

At this time, she turned her back to herself, under the faint lamp, flipping through the information with one hand, and writing and drawing on the paper with the other hand.

Probably the attention was so focused that he didn't notice Lu Chen's arrival.

Suddenly, a teacup appeared next to the writing, Chen Xiuluan was startled, covered her chest and turned around quickly, and looked closely, only to see her son standing behind him unexpectedly with a smile on his face.

"Mom, don't be too late, pay attention to rest. ”

Lu Chen glanced at the information on the table, which were all accounting books, turned around and stood behind Chen Xiuluan, and helped her pinch her neck.

After eighteen years of raising a child, being taken care of by her son for the first time, Chen Xiuluan was in a trance, if it weren't for the constant comfort from her neck, she felt like a dream.

Her son's craftsmanship was very good, which made her irritable heart calm down instantly, and the comfortable feeling made her slowly close her eyes.

"Okay, let's go and review, it's going to be the college entrance examination soon. ”

Although this feeling is worth enjoying, Chen Xiuluan is still a little uncomfortable, and at the same time, she has not forgotten that her son still has the first hurdle in his life to pass.

"Well, get some rest early. ”

Lu Chen didn't insist anymore, told his mother, and went back to the room with a big grin.

Looking at her son's departure, Chen Xiuluan had a feeling that her son had grown up overnight.

When her son left, she quietly opened the perennial locked drawer and took out a black-and-white photograph of a man and a woman, the man handsome and the woman handsome.

She wiped and wiped gently, tears blurred her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled.

"Lao Lu, my son has grown up!"

Back in the room, Lu Chen threw himself on the bed.

The desk is densely packed with various test questions and tutorial books, as well as Sakuragi Hanamichi and Naruto's small dolls.

On the walls and wardrobes, there are various posters, Andy Lau, Zhou Huimin, the five tigers of Xiangbei in red robes, Jordan the Flyer on the 23rd, and Kobe Bryant on the 8th......

All this carries Lu Chen's entire youth.

As a senior Cormi, Lu Chen has different feelings for Kobe.

Black Mamba Kobe, in 2003, the Lakers could not continue their glory, and then the OK combination disintegrated, Kobe Bryant entered a downturn, and it was not until 2009 that he won the championship again, but he died in a plane crash in 2020, ending his legendary life.

"I haven't seen Los Angeles at 4 a.m., but I owe you a ticket that I will pay back for the rest of my life. ”

Lu Chen looked at the poster and smiled slightly.

Putting away the disguise of the hippie smiling face during the day, Lu Chen regained the calmness and wisdom of the domineering president, and looked at himself in the mirror blankly, young and healthy, with a furry beard at the corner of his mouth.

"The car crash before rebirth, Shen Xuening's accident? Mother has been hiding the information of her biological father, and it seems that these details are revealing a message that her future self is in danger. ”

He thought silently, his eyes became sharp: "Since you are reborn, it seems that you are too sorry for yourself if you don't do something." ”

Forcing himself to read the book, and when it was the dead of night, he simply cleaned himself up, Lu Chen fell on the bed, smelled the familiar smell, and slowly fell asleep.
