Chen You is also a night owl, and he didn't think of it at all before this. ↖ ↗ Don't look at her diet √ moderation, but staying up late is not an ordinary person at all. Zeng Jin was embarrassed to say that it was time for him to sleep, so he could only pour two cups of coffee and write a script with her. But as soon as one person focuses on one thing, sleep seems to become a dispensable need.

The two discussed until two or three o'clock in the morning, and danced twice in pajamas from time to time, and finally settled on a prototype of the script, which was quite gratifying. There was a sense of relief that she had accomplished her extreme goal, and for a moment she yawned sleepily, and the effect of coffee didn't seem to save her from wanting to sleep to death. Chen You's face did not show a look of exhaustion, it was just the same as Mo Yi's spirit in the night.

"Go to sleep. Chen You patted her arm: "I'll refine it again." ”

"Ah? you still want to write?" Zeng Jinxi unceremoniously closed the notebook sprinkled with several pages of words, as if out of instinct, took Chen You to her room, and also educated: "Dedication can't spoil your body, sister, can you eat to become fat? You sleep, get up and look again, there will be new ideas, do you believe it or not? I think it, if I really come here to retire to retire, Sister Yi is estimated to be very happy, someone can dance with her all night, tsk." ”

The chatter was endless, which amused Chen Youdu, and there was no room for resistance at all, so he could only listen to her honestly lie in bed. Before turning off the lights, he also said to her: "Seriously, I didn't have a lot of good feelings for your girlfriend before, although I can talk, but I always feel that I am not the same kind of person." But now, I've changed. ”

Zeng Jinjin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth curved, and he deliberately avoided the serious, so he said lightly: "Is it because you know now that Sister Yi likes spicy food and staying up late as much as you?"

Chen You shrugged: "If you think so, there's no problem." Well, good night. Tomorrow morning at half past eight?"

"Okay. Take me to eat non-spicy noodles. ”

"Out of breath. ”

Zeng Jinjin closed the door for Chen You and went back to the guest room to sleep. That night, I dreamed that he and Mo Yijiu moved their family next door to Chen You's house. There is no longer a crowd of people hugging each other, and there is no longer a busy work, just singing for the birds in the mountains and forests, dancing for the fish in the river, and being happy for the simple life.

When I woke up, I couldn't help but reminisce about everything in my dreams. She thought that maybe this place could really be their home, maybe what she dreamed of was the real future.

At 9 o'clock, Chen You said that he would take Zeng Jinjin out for breakfast, but the funny thing was that Zeng Jinjin had just put on his sunglasses, and Chen You turned around and told her that it had arrived.

It turned out to be rubbing the neighbor's rice, oh no, the powder.

I didn't dare to say that in her dream, she and Mo Yijiu moved into this neighbor's house. In fact, if you want to be Chen You's neighbor, you can't do it casually, you have to build it yourself, you have to have a government department to grant land, and if you ask someone to buy it, you have to be willing to sell it.

"Teacher Chen, doesn't it really matter if you still bring your friends with you? ”

Chen You waved his hand: "It's okay! This is my cousin's house." When the young people in the group came, I often brought them over to eat noodles, and their skills were very good, and my cousin also liked to be lively. ”

Chen You knocked on the door, and not long after, an old woman came out, who should be the cousin in Chen You's mouth. Her face was wrinkled, her back was a little rickety, but her spirit was very good, but she didn't understand what she said, so she could only laugh silly behind Chen You......

The two sat in the courtyard, and the cousin went into the kitchen to cook rice noodles. Chen You told Zeng Jin about his cousin. She said that she is almost 80 years old, she was a great beauty when she was young, and her skills in making rice noodles are also well-known. It's a pity that her husband died early, leaving three children, and the traffic here was not so developed before, so she usually made rice noodles in addition to farming, walked dozens of miles, and picked up rice noodles to the city to sell. Later, the three children went to work in Guangdong and became their own families, so now, she is left to live here alone.

Zeng Jinjin held her cheeks and looked at the old man who was skillfully cooking rice noodles through the glass window, as if she could imagine what she looked like when she was young, and she was really the image of a great mother. Zeng Jinjin asked Chen You: "Aren't her children filial? Why don't you take her to live in Guangdong?

Chen You replied to her in a low voice: "It's not unfilial." During the holidays, her three sons and daughters would still come back to see her. Her eldest son, my eldest cousin, is doing very well in Guangdong, and a few years ago he said that he wanted to take her to enjoy happiness, but she was reluctant to leave here. ”

I remembered the old man I met in the mountain village when I was doing the Eight Immortals program. If it is them, and their children have made a name for themselves in the big city, and they want to pick them up, are they willing to leave their homeland and go away from home? Is it the same as Chen You's cousin: "Do people become more and more stubborn when they get older?"

Chen You shook his head: "Many people don't understand her, but I do." Although she has endured a lot of hardships, parenting is simple for her, a responsibility, not an investment. When the children left, they left, and one of the tasks of her life was accomplished, but she did not expect anything in return from them, and she just wanted to continue as an independent woman, staying in a place where she could feel comfortable and living a life that she thought was comfortable. ”

"That's a very advanced idea. She didn't expect that in this border town far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there would be such avant-garde ideas of parenthood.

Chen You said: "In fact, this is very primitive human nature, but we Chinese are too deeply bound by filial piety, so many people think that filial piety is necessary for children." Parents demand this from their children, children demand from themselves like this, and there are so many eyes of supervision and the tongue of public opinion around them. Therefore, many people think that when their parents are old, they should take them to their side, give them a place to live, and give them enough money to spend, which is filial piety, at least in the eyes of outsiders, they are filial sons and daughters. In fact, no, there is no standard for this kind of thing, everyone has their own personality, and when they are old, of course they will have different needs. Just like my cousin, she has been strong for most of her life, she doesn't rely on anyone, and when she is old, she is not used to letting her rely on her children. She thinks it's good to live like this now, but when she goes to the big city, she is uncomfortable, no matter how good she eats and how comfortable she lives, what's the use, she is unhappy in her heart. ”

I can't help but think of her "compulsion" on Mo Yijiu.

"You say, if my girlfriend likes city life from the bottom of her heart, but I think the mountains and rivers here are good, the people are good, and the days are quiet and there are people singing and dancing with her, is it too wishful thinking? Will she feel very bored, depressed, and unhappy?"

Chen You looked at her tangled expression and contradictory words from the day before, and laughed unconsciously: "That's it, this kind of mood of suffering from gains and losses is like falling in love." ”

The corners of her mouth hung up, and she really didn't want to admit that she was suffering from gains and losses like this now.

Chen You was noncommittal, and only turned the topic and said: "Let's be serious, partners are different from parents and children." Partners are going to live a lifetime, on the basis of love, running into each other's habits, and someone has to take a step back when there are differences of opinion. My ex-husband and I were not willing to give in for each other, so we couldn't go on. ”

Zeng Jinjin wanted to inquire about the □□ of their divorce, but he didn't want Chen You to think about those unpleasant things for her gossip, so he asked her instead: "What about then? You and your cousin have the same idea?"

"I took the initiative to fight for the custody of Ran Ran, even though I was very busy with work. Want to know why?"

Zeng Jinjin nodded, and listened to Chen Youdao: "My husband's family wants me to have another son, but I didn't agree, and my ex-husband insisted on it, so I filed for divorce and asked him to find another woman to give birth to him." It seems that this matter has been in her heart for a long time, and now she can say it without a trace of excitement.

"Then I see, it's really hard to compromise. However, if you follow your father, and when you have a stepmother and a younger brother, life will not be good, after all, you are in that kind of patriarchal family. ”

"That's why I asked her to come over. But when she is older and wants to fly, she goes to another city, or another country, anywhere, even if I am too old to dance, I will not stick behind her. I, like my cousin, will only stay where I like. ”

Hearing her say this, I feel more and more that it is useless to have children.

"What should I do? I really want Sister Yi to listen to your theory. ”
