Chen's mother and Chen's father lived at the end of the village, so Chen Ming walked towards the end of the village with his things in his hand.

Several aunts and uncles sat at the entrance of the village and chatted in the cold, and some of them recognized Chen Ming, so there was a whisper.

"Isn't this Chen Ming's kid, some time ago, gambling made Uncle Jin Ming sell all the houses, and now he still has the face to come back?"

"That's it, I thought that he was the most prosperous person in our village, but I didn't expect to encounter anything bad and have to touch any gambling, not to mention losing all his wealth, and even his hometown house was forced to sell. ”

"Didn't you say that Chen Jinming broke off the father-son relationship with him? Why did he come back again?"

"A group of old ladies know a fart, I heard Brother Jin Ming explain that his son has now reformed and has a new job in the city, thousands a month. ”

……

Chen Ming automatically ignored the discussion of a group of people, walked through the crowd on his own, and walked towards the other side of the village.

In front of the dilapidated house at the end of the village, Chen Ming pushed open the door of the hidden house and saw Chen's mother who was fetching water in the yard.

"Mingzi, why are you back?" Mother Chen raised her wrinkled face, and when she saw Chen Ming, she hurriedly said.

"I didn't have time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I took a leave of absence today and came back, and by the way, I bought some supplements for you and Dad. Chen Ming smiled.

"Who asked you to buy something, look at you, how much does it cost, it's a waste. Mother Chen saw the things Chen Ming was carrying, and said with a distressed face. "When you leave, you take it away, your father and I don't eat this thing, take it back for Wanxin to eat. ”

"Mom, these are all tonics for middle-aged and elderly people, and it's useless for Wanxin to eat them. Chen Ming put down his things and said.

"Then take it back and return it. Mother Chen said.

"You go in and sit down, I'll go and water the vegetable garden outside, and I'll come back." Immediately, Chen's mother said again.

As he spoke, he prepared to carry the water and walk out.

Seeing this, Chen Ming hurriedly said, "Mom, you put it down, I'll pick it." ”

Chen Ming walked up to Chen's mother and took the initiative to take the flat burden in her hand.

He'd only seen it on TV before, and he'd never used it, so he picked up two buckets of water and walked out crookedly.

Before I could get out of the door, the bucket spilled a lot of water.

"You, sit down, as you do, I'll have to pick it again later." Seeing this, Mother Chen said with a smile.

"It's okay, I'll help you. Chen Ming did not hand over the flat burden to Chen's mother, but continued to insist on not letting himself stagger.

When I walked outside to the vegetable garden, most of the water in the bucket had been spilled.

Chen Ming put down the flat burden, looked at the two buckets, and couldn't help but show a wry smile.

It looks easy, but it's actually quite difficult to do.

But the second time, he found the trick.

With Chen Ming's help, Chen's mother quickly finished watering the vegetable garden.

"Mom, where is my dad, why haven't you come back yet?" asked Chen Ming, putting the pole and bucket under the wall.

"He, go to the back mountain to herd sheep, it's time to come back soon, you sit and rest, I'll cook." Chen's mother replied.

Chen Ming was not so tired, nor did he sit down to rest, but stood at the low kitchen door, looking at the dilapidated kitchen.

The kitchen is a pot made of adobe, with a small table for chopping vegetables next to it, and a cabinet in the corner that is full of age for storing vegetables and other things.

Looking at these things, Chen Ming's subconscious reaction was disgust, but when he saw Chen's mother's busy figure, he still walked to the ground pot and took the initiative to help Chen's mother burn the pot.

Seeing this, Chen's mother hurriedly asked Chen Ming to go out and wait, but Chen Ming insisted on helping in the kitchen.

So Chen's mother did not continue to persuade Chen Ming to go out, but chatted with Chen Ming while busy.

Soon after, Chen's father returned home with a few sheep.

When he saw Chen Ming, who was helping to light the fire in the kitchen, his face couldn't help but show a touch of surprise, but then he was happy.

However, when Chen Ming turned his head to look at him, the smile on Father Chen's face disappeared and was replaced by a touch of seriousness.

"If you don't work hard, what are you doing when you come back?" Father Chen said in a deep voice.

"Look at you, Mingzi finally came back, who are you showing with a straight face?" Chen's mother glared at Chen's father and said.

"Dad, I took a leave of absence to come back to see you and Mom today. Chen Ming said with a smile.

Father Chen's smiling face just now was seen in his eyes, and Chen Ming knew that Father Chen was not really unhappy.

"If you don't work well, what kind of leave do you take, will your leaders like you if you take leave every day?" Father Chen still said in a deep voice.

"Dad, I don't ask for leave every day, I ask for it once today since I work. Chen Ming replied.

"Okay, Mingzi is back, what else are you talking about, hurry up and catch a chicken and make up for Mingzi. Immediately, Chen's mother's voice sounded, and she didn't have a good airway.

"Mom, you don't have to kill chickens, you can eat whatever you want, I'm not an outsider. Chen Ming said busily.

"What's not necessary, you see you're skinny, kill a chicken to make up for you. Mother Chen said. He immediately turned his head to look at Father Chen, and said angrily: "What are you still standing there for?

"Just your precious son, you are still used to him when he is so old!" Chen's father was a little embarrassed on his face, and turned to leave.

"Mingzi, don't pay attention to what your father said just now, he is just hard-mouthed, in fact, I don't know how many times a day I talk to you. Mother Chen said.

"I know. Chen Ming nodded.

Soon, Chen's father came to the kitchen with a chicken in his hand, picked up a knife and made a hole in the neck of the chicken, and after putting half a bowl of blood, he threw the chicken into the yard and let it flutter.

The chicken struggled for a few moments before falling to the ground and not moving.

Then Chen's father boiled a pot of water and skillfully defeathered the chickens.

At the dinner table, Chen Ming accompanied Chen's father to drink some wine, while Chen's mother kept sandwiching chicken for Chen Ming.

so much so that it attracted Chen's father's complaints, but Chen's mother directly gave him a big white eye.

The meals are simple but the food is cozy.

In Chen's mother and Chen's father, Chen Ming felt a strong family affection.

Chen's father drank two glasses of wine, and just wanted to say something big, but Chen's mother stopped him: "Mingzi is such a big person, and you still say those big truths, it's not that he doesn't know." ”

"Mom, it's okay, you just let Dad say a few words. Chen Ming couldn't help but smile and said.

"As long as you protect the calf, I won't say it's always okay. Father Chen glared at Mother Chen angrily and said.

After speaking, Father Chen picked up the cup and drank the wine in the cup again.

Seeing this, Chen Ming hurriedly comforted Chen's father, and at the same time asked Chen's mother to say less.

Although Chen's father and Chen's mother had a little quarrel when they ate, it was all because of Chen Ming, and in general, the meal was still very happy.

Without Chen's mother's obstruction, Chen's father taught Chen Ming a lot of big truths.

Although Chen Ming knew it, Chen's father's words still made him remember it deeply.

"Envy others less, insist on yourself more, the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life!"

Leaving Chenjia Village, Chen's father and mother kept sending Chen Ming to the entrance of the village.

Chen Ming sat on the motorcycle and looked back, Chen's mother was quietly wiping her tears, and although Chen's father's face was full of seriousness, there was a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
