Chapter 17: The Hong Kong Cake Turmoil
On this day, the school holiday, Chen Hansheng rarely went back, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to go back and get some vegetable rice.
Before leaving, Chen Hansheng opened the paper bag, took out the Huangshi Hong Kong cake from it, and brought it with him. He ate one of the two Huangshigang cakes that his mother brought him, and thought it was really delicious, so he decided to take it back to his grandmother.
On the way home, Chen Hansheng remembered his mother's instructions when she left, and became confused. When his own mother came to see him at school, why couldn't he tell others, let alone let his family know? Mother, why didn't she tell him the reason why she couldn't tell him?
Thinking about it, Chen Hansheng still couldn't think of a reason. Chen Hansheng, who couldn't think of why, didn't think about this problem for the time being, so he hurried up, went back early, had lunch at home, came back early in the afternoon, and continued to attend classes tomorrow.
When Chen Hansheng arrived home, it was almost noon when he was about to have lunch, and everyone in the family was there. As soon as Chen Hansheng entered the house, Xie Chunxiang took his hand and said, "My son, you are finally back, I think you are about to go crazy." ”
Xie Chunxiang said, about to go to see the schoolbag that Chen Hansheng was carrying, Chen Hansheng turned around, and did not let his grandmother look at his schoolbag, because in his schoolbag, there was a big secret that could only be known by his grandmother, and now that the family was present, he didn't want to reveal this secret.
When Chen Hansheng was talking to his grandmother, Xu Chungu, who was pregnant, was standing next to him, but Chen Hansheng didn't seem to see her, so Xu Chungu looked at it, and he felt a little sad. She even thought in her heart that she was not her own child, and she wouldn't call him this stepmother when she came back.
In order to win over the relationship, and in order to let Chen Huaguo see that there was such a life between them, Xu Chungu wronged herself and called Chen Hansheng "Hansheng".
Chen Hansheng, who was talking to his grandmother, didn't know if he didn't hear it, or if he did it on purpose, he didn't respond immediately, or even agreed. Xu Chunrong, who already loved face, suddenly felt as if he had lost a big foundation, turned around and walked aside, sad alone.
Avoiding Xu Chungu's face, Xie Chunxiang asked Chen Hansheng, "Your stepmother called you just now, why didn't you agree?"
Chen Hansheng did not answer Xie Chunxiang's question.
"You're not doing it right!" Xie Chunxiang said, "No matter what, he is also one of your mothers, your elders, you can't fail to answer him." Moreover, it is very rude for you to ask him to call you without calling him first when you come back! You are now a child who is studying and going to school, and children who are studying should be polite. ”
"I don't want to pay attention to him. Chen Hansheng thought of many little things, and his heart became more and more angry.
"Why don't you ignore him?" Xie Chunxiang began to realize the seriousness of the problem.
"He doesn't love me. Chen Hansheng said with his own feelings.
Although Xie Chunxiang felt the same way, she didn't want Chen Hansheng to hate this stepmother because of this, so she persuaded her, "It's not biological, it's not easy to want to love, after a long time, she will naturally love you!"
"He won't love me!" Chen Hansheng said, "He already has his own child, but he hasn't given birth yet, and he won't love me, this mother!"
Xie Chunxiang listened to Chen Hansheng's casual remark as a pockmark, she immediately pulled down her face, looked at Chen Hansheng very angrily and asked, "What did you say? You call him pockmarked? Don't be so rude! How do I usually educate you? Even if he does something wrong, he is also one of your stepmothers, and stepmothers are mothers! If you are so rude, then you don't need to read the book! It's all bullshit!"
Chen Hansheng argued impatiently, "Where do I call him pockmark, I call him mother!"
"What do you mean by Mom?" Xie Chunxiang asked.
"Mom also means mother. Chen Hansheng said.
Xie Chunxiang sighed, his grandson was finally not so rude as to that point. She then said to Chen Hansheng, "It's wrong for you to come back and don't take the initiative to call him, it's even more wrong for him to call you if you don't agree, he thinks that he will feel uncomfortable, go over and admit his mistake with him, or call his mother." ”
Chen Hansheng felt a little unreasonable, but he didn't admit his mistake, so he listened to his grandmother's words, came to Xu Chungu, and called his mother very quietly.
Xu Chunrong's remaining anger did not subside, and seeing that Chen Hansheng's scream was neither loud nor voluntary, he hummed, which was regarded as a response.
Chen Hansheng got angry, he ran back to his grandmother in one breath, opened the schoolbag, took out the Huangshi Hong Kong cake from it, handed it to his grandmother, and said, "Milk! This is what my mother gave me when she went to see me at school, two, I ate one, it was delicious, this one is specially left for you to eat, you can eat it!"
"My son!" Xie Chunxiang was so moved that she shed tears, she pushed back the cake handed over by Chen Hansheng, and sighed with tears in her eyes, "I was thinking that you were ignorant just now, and I was anxious about how to educate you! I didn't expect that you began to have this filial piety at a young age! It didn't make me love you in vain!"
"Milk!" said Chen Hansheng, "you can eat this cake now!"
"I don't eat it!" Xie Chunxiang said, "With your filial piety, I am enough, where else can I eat this thing?
"No!" Chen Hansheng hurriedly brought the cake to his grandmother's mouth, as if to watch her eat it.
Xie Chunxiang was about to excuse herself further, but when she saw that Chen Hansheng already had tears of grievance in her eyes, she was more and more moved, she took back the cake and said to Chen Hansheng, "Okay, good! Milk is kept to eat, milk is not your cake, it is my grandson's filial piety!"
Seeing that his grandmother finally took the cake, Chen Hansheng's heart warmed up, he wiped his tears, and turned his tears into laughter.
Xie Chunxiang saw that Chen Hansheng was happy, so he took advantage of Chen Hansheng's happy mood to ask about Chen Hansheng's situation at school, and also asked about Yang Donggu's visit to the school to see him. When the grandmother and grandson were talking happily, they suddenly heard crying in the room over there.
Xie Chunxiang, who seemed to have a feeling, took Chen Hansheng over to see.
Xu Chungu hid in her room and cried from low to high. Chen Huaguo, who was on the side, couldn't persuade him. Xie Chunxiang felt Xu Chungu's crying, so she walked over and asked, "Xu Yan, what's wrong with you?"
"I lived in vain!" Xu Chungu cried and shouted, "No one in that family loves me, just thinking about changing the family, naturally someone will love me, but I didn't expect that the bamboo basket was empty, and the rice field cast a net - dry fishing!"
"What do you mean by that?" Xie Chunxiang asked puzzledly, "What does it mean that the bamboo basket is empty, and what is the rice field that spreads nets and fishes?"
"Isn't it?" Xu Chungu shouted, "I love him with all my heart, provide for him, raise him, and let him go to school, but in the end he doesn't take the slightest affection from me, and he doesn't even call me!
Xie Chunxiang heard the meaning of Xu Chungu's words, so she immediately pleaded, "Whether you really love him or not, of course, only you know best in your heart! He let him study, provide for him, and raise him, which is not wrong, he doesn't call you, it's also his fault, I also educated him, and he also ran to you and called you Mom, you still like to answer and hum, what kind of attitude do you have? You are an adult, he is a child, can adults care about children? You ask others to comment on this reason, am I right?"
The dispute between the two attracted a lot of neighbors. It was also when it was time to have lunch, Chen Huaguo brought all the food to the table in order to calm the matter, and tried to resolve the dispute that made him sandwiched in the middle and difficult to be a person in the name of eating, and also retreated in order to let the people who came to see the excitement know their minds.
"You think I don't know anything!" Xu Chungu jumped out of the room and said in front of everyone, "He didn't tell me not to say, I called him he didn't agree or say, he went to call me, obviously he was reluctant to be forced, that called me Mom, it was like a mosquito! I don't say any of this, he studied in school, we provided for him, his mother went to see him once, he was moved as if he wanted to remember it for a lifetime, thinking in his heart, when he grew up in the future, he had a chance, and he must be towards his mother! A piece of clothing, a pair of cloth shoes, and two broken cakes bought a piece of his heart, where is there room for me to be a stepmother? What is the point of me providing for it?"
It can be seen that Xu Chungu just overheard the detailed conversations between Xie Chunxiang and Chen Hansheng in the room, Xie Chunxiang felt that it was a mistake to take precautions, but she was also angry about it, so she argued with reason, "Is there anything wrong with his mother going to see him at school?
"Mother!" Chen Huaguo walked over, "Mother, can't you just say a few words? Chun Gu didn't mean to let his mother go to see him, she just felt that she was wronged here, so she said a few words!"
"What grievances does he have?" Xie Chunxiang said, "His cold and hot attitude towards the child, don't you see it?" I just didn't say it, just to take care of his face, and let Han Sheng be more sensible, forcing Han Sheng to call him, am I wrong?"
"Eat!" Chen Caomin came out and ordered loudly.
"Han Sheng is still sensible!" Xie Chunxiang continued, "If he is not sensible and doesn't know about Entubao, I will naturally educate him!"
"He's very sensible!" Xu Chungu said in a sarcastic tone, "The sesame cake his mother brought him, not to mention giving me a bite to eat, didn't even let me take a look, and deliberately hid it from me, where is the slightest respect for me?"
Xie Chunxiang couldn't cry or laugh, she quickly ran back to her room, took the sesame cake, threw it on Xie Chunxiang's bed angrily, and said, "Isn't it just fighting for this bite? I didn't plan to eat it, I planned to keep it!"
"You are really!" Chen Huaguo said to Xu Chungu, "Isn't it just a sesame cake thing? What a big deal? You are still making such a fuss!"
"What?" Xu Chungu suddenly found a breakthrough, she didn't want to say anything aggressive to her mother-in-law, but she could shout at her husband, "You also protect the child over there? Do you also think that Yang Donggu is right to go to see Han Sheng? Do you still want to break the connection between you and treat me like a monkey? I am not the monkey who is played by people!"
As he spoke, he threw out a cake that Xie Chunxiang threw on the bed.
The cake was thrown to the ground and shattered into several pieces.
Xie Chunxiang bent down and picked up the broken cakes, and then angrily took Chen Hansheng back to his room, and said to Chen Hansheng with tears in his eyes, "You have seen it all, if you don't study hard, there will be no way out in the future." ”
The few words that grandmother said to Chen Hansheng at this special time made Chen Hansheng remember it for the rest of his life.
