When she came to the door of the house, Chen Yi found that the key in her hand and the lock did not match, the door in her memory was the most rudimentary iron door, with a flat brass key, after opening, there was a wooden door, but now it is the most common kind of steel plate security door, the key has evolved into a hexagonal, she has not come back for too long, put away the key in her hand, she pressed the doorbell.

It was Chen Kuo who opened the door, he was wearing a blue sweater and black slacks, he hadn't seen him for a long time, Chen Yi could see at first glance that he was old, because he was far from the impression of his father in his memory, she was thrilled by this old state, he used to be very tall, with wide shoulders and thick waist, but now he seemed to have shrunk a circle, the skin on his face was wrinkled as if it had been turned by a dryer, although his hair was not completely white, but his temples and beard were white.

"Dad......" Chen Yi's call was full of too many feelings.

Chen Kuo's frowning appearance has not changed from the past, he always has a solemn face, as if he is worried about national affairs, and as if he is worried about the livelihood of his family, Chen Yi also loved to pester him and joke when he was a child, saying that he was suitable to star in Yu Hua's such as "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", at that time he could still smile occasionally, and later when she grew up, she didn't like to pester her father who didn't smile, and he never laughed.

It can't be said that Chen Kuo is a person who has always been unhappy, he just doesn't like to laugh, he likes to listen to cross talk, likes to watch TV series of the "hand-torn Japanese devil", compared to many middle-aged and elderly men who refuse snacks, he is quite greedy, when he goes to the supermarket to buy vegetables, rice, oil and salt, he will get himself an ice cream, these moments, he is obviously happy, but he just has an unhappy expression, as if everything is unsatisfactory.

"You're back. After Chen Kuo opened the door, he turned around and left, although Chen Yi was used to it, but Zhao Li didn't understand, she greeted as she entered the door, "Uncle, why are you so unhappy?

Chen Kuo glanced back at her, just made a vague "um-hum" sound from his nose, and he didn't know what he was promised, Zhao Li saw that he had nothing to say to himself, holding the fruit in both hands, and walked straight into the master bedroom, and then Chen Yi heard Zhou Biyun's clear laughter, "Ouch, Lily, come on, what kind of fruit do you bring, sit, sit down, eat here at night?"

Hearing this voice not quite like a patient, Chen Yi walked in and saw Zhou Biyun sitting on the bed covered with a quilt, her face was really pale, as soon as she saw Chen Yi, she lowered her face, covered her chest with her hands and snorted, "You have to wait until I'm going to die before you come back to take a look, right?"

Chen Yi laughed, "What are you talking about? Didn't you just see it in Beijing?"

Zhou Biyun was stunned for a moment, rolled her eyes and said, "I'm talking about going home, how long have you not come back?"

Chen Yi sat down on the edge of the bed and asked with concern, "What's the matter with you? When I was in Beijing, I went shopping for six hours a day, why did I fall ill as soon as I came back?"

"It's not that I'm angry with you, and suddenly said that I was going to run out of the country and never come back. Zhou Biyun rubbed and complained, "My heart, I called an ambulance in pain that night." ”

Zhao Li sat on the chair on the side, peeled the oranges she bought, and said while eating, "That's what you're wrong, Chen Yi, your parents are so old, it stands to reason that you need to be taken care of by someone, and you still run out? You call relatives, what do the neighbors think? They will think that your family is in conflict." ”

Chen Yi explained to her helplessly, "It's not that I ran out and didn't come back, my mother exaggerated." ”

"Then when you go out, don't you can't come back if your parents are in a hurry?" Zhao Li said, "Especially if you go out after your life's major events are completed, then your aunt will not be so angry that she will fall ill." ”

"Hey, it's still Lily who is sensible and doesn't worry about people, I really, you're not married-" Zhou Biyun looked at Chen Yi and said sadly, "I don't even blink an eye to death." ”

Chen Yi was so frightened by this threatening words that he shrank back, and he had to coax his own mother and say, "Bah, what are you talking about, you will live a long life." ”

Zhou Biyun glared at her angrily, "What's the use of living a hundred years old?

Zhao Li followed her words and said to Chen Yi: "If you don't get married or have children, others will think that you either have something wrong with your heart or body, and gossip behind your back." ”

Chen Yi smiled, "Even if I say that I am in Beijing, I will not be able to hear it in the United States in the future." ”

Zhao Li asked, "Then your parents are still here, they deserve to poke people in the back?"

Chen Yi replied: "Then I will take my parents to the United States for retirement." ”

But Zhou Biyun didn't give her face, and directly refused, "I won't go, the friends I've talked about all my life are here, and I can't talk to foreign devils when I go abroad, and I can't get used to eating that french fries hamburger, do you want to suffocate me or starve me to death?"

Zhao Li was amused by Zhou Biyun's words, and continued to coax a little as if she didn't think it was a big deal, "Chen Yi, listen to my sister, a woman who doesn't have children is incomplete, and when you have a child, you can feel the meaning of life." ”

Chen Yi, who endured Zhao Li all the way, finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and spread his hand to her and said, "Then you can send me a disability certificate." Seeing that Zhao Li was stunned, she added, "Didn't you say that I was incomplete? Aren't all men unable to have children, they are born with disabilities? Men all over the world can't feel the meaning of life? Then they are all walking dead." ”

I didn't expect her to "fire" at herself, Zhao Li's brain reacted for half a minute before she replied angrily: "Men are men, women are women, can this be compared?"

Chen Yi raised her head arrogantly, "Why can't you compare? We all have a pair of arms and a pair of legs, oh, aren't men just two taels more meat? ”

Zhao Li's face was not very good-looking, and Zhou Biyun's face was also as if it had been painted green, one was ashamed and the other looked at Chen Yi in embarrassment, but she turned a blind eye to their expressions, her mouth seemed to be a little unable to stop the car, and her words poured out like a flood that couldn't be closed," I don't scold you not because I agree with you, but because there is no reason for the cow to play the piano, the Tao is not the same, you have a hobby of production, in order to get more meaning of life, you work hard to give birth, give birth to seventeen or eighteen glorious ancestors, give birth to more than 20 Buddhas, you see that my mother is pitiful and has no eldest grandson, you should do good deeds and accumulate virtue, give birth to one and give her to play, her illness is cured, I will burn incense and eat vegetarian for you every day——"

"Chen Yi!" Zhou Biyun interrupted her with an angry roar.

Zhao Li's face looked a little hypoxic, more like a patient than Zhou Biyun, and the sudden knock on the door outside made her tremble all over.

Zhou Biyun took this opportunity to change the atmosphere, and she said to Chen Yi: "Your father is happy to see you coming back, go out to buy your favorite dishes." She got out of bed as she spoke, muttering, "Really, stuffy gourd, don't say a word when you go out." ”

She walked to the closet, took out a red envelope from the pile of clothes, and took out eight pink banknotes and stuffed them in, Zhao Li saw them all, but she still had to put on a look of not knowing and not expecting it, and when Zhou Biyun turned around and handed it to her, she quickly made a surprised and rejected attitude, she waved her hand and said, "What is Aunt doing? Don't, don't want it." ”

Zhou Biyun stuffed it into her hand and said: "Your little doll has grown up a lot now, right? The child's clothes are wasted and sold expensively, and it is not easy for you two to make money, so take them to buy new clothes for the doll." ”

"Then thank you, auntie, we have really been short of money recently, this child is growing up day by day, where to eat milk powder, is to eat banknotes, money shredders!" Zhao Li no longer pretended to excuse herself, and after putting the red envelope in her arms, she got up and left, "Then I'll go back first." ”

Zhou Biyun politely stopped her, "Don't you stay for dinner?"

"I can't do without people around with children, my mother-in-law sighed after a while, and gave me a look of death, I have to go back quickly, otherwise she will have to sue her son again, saying that I used her as a free nanny. With that, she turned around to say goodbye to Chen Yi and left in a hurry.

After the room calmed down, Zhou Biyun returned to the bed and sat down, looked at Chen Yi with disgust, and smacked her lips: "You, you, won't you say goodbye when you open your mouth? ”

Chen Yi looked at the fruits that Zhao Li bought, all of which were worthless things such as oranges and bananas, and she said unhappily: "She is not a free service, didn't you give her money?"

"Yes, shouldn't you give it? are all relatives, she has a little doll at home, and she spends a lot of money, and our relatives don't all have to find an opportunity to give subsidies, this is relatives, it's family affection, you are used to being alone, I'm afraid you don't understand, this money, you should have taken the initiative to pay, why do you think your cousin took the initiative to pick up the airport? Aren't you worried that your aunt can give your niece a 'meeting gift'? Who knows that you don't react at all, and I have to do this favor for you. Zhou Biyun gushed down Chen Yi, "You really don't understand any human feelings, and you're like a child." ”

"What's wrong with being like a kid means I'm still young. Chen Yi let out a long breath, sorted out his emotions and asked, "Mom, are you really sick?"
