Chapter 27 (II)

Jiang Qiong's fierce reaction made Chi Nuo at a loss and embarrassed, but Chen Yi expressed respect for the living habits of the older generation, took the initiative to comfort Jiang Qiong, and invited her to go home together, "But our house only has two bedrooms, and my mother has already occupied one, and the other room is where Chi Nuo and I sleep." She reminded her, "How do you see the arrangement?"
It's really hard to arrange, Chen Yi thought, Jiang Qiong would make a suitable choice when she learned about this situation, but she didn't feel that there were few rooms, so she said as a matter of course, "It's very good, Chen Yi, you sleep with your mother, Chi Nuo and I sleep in a bed, don't you just stay, why spend extra money to stay in a hotel." ”
Chen Yi's eyes widened unconsciously, isn't it appropriate for Chi Nuo to sleep in the same bed with his mother when he is such a big man? ”
"You and him are squeezed? I can't squeeze in? I'm not as big as you, it's okay. Jiang Qiong couldn't understand the meaning of her words, and retorted.
What she said made Chen Yi feel uncomfortable for a while, she didn't speak anymore, turned her face to look out the window, Jiang Qiong didn't notice the change in the atmosphere in the car, and chased Chi Nuo to speak, and couldn't help blaming her son for wanting to "throw" her alone in the hotel.
Chi Nuo should be accustomed to this mode of getting along with his mother, and in the face of her chatter, he has always just smiled and grinned, and he was not angry, but when he was about to get home, he still reminded her that Chen Yi's mother was in the house, "You don't see anything pleasing to the eye, take it away, don't leave an impression of nagging to your aunt." ”
"You're a fucking fool. After Jiang Qiong got out of the car, it seemed that all her grievances had been vented, and she smiled again, pinched Chi Nuo's nose affectionately and said, "Don't worry, in front of your in-laws, your mother will give you enough face." ”
received Chen Yi's "ventilation message" in advance, Zhou Biyun cleaned up and dressed up at home, sat on the sofa and watched TV in brand new clothes, and heard the prompt of the arrival of the elevator outside the door and the sound of talking, so he quickly stood up and wanted to go over to open the door, but after thinking about it, he returned to the sofa and sat down and didn't hear it.
The first to come to the door was Chi Nuo, who pulled his suitcase and put it in the corner, and shouted at Zhou Biyun in the living room, "Auntie, my mother is here." Followed by a loud and affectionate voice, "Mother-in-law-"
Zhou Biyun, who was worried, finally put on a warm smile, walked to the entrance and said, "Yo, it's coming, it's coming." ”
Zhou Biyun pulled Jiang Qiong to sit on the sofa, and then the two old people held hands to greet each other, Chen Yi felt that there was a "Polite Communication Guide" between the elderly that was circulated repeatedly, how every old man met and chatted about the same day, and he didn't need to listen to it to know the general content as follows-
"It's hard work to travel so far in a car. ”
"It's not far, it's not hard, it's just that my waist is not very good. ”
"Me too, I just can't help it when I'm old. ”
"Don't say that, I think my sister is still very young. ”
"Then where can there be a younger sister who is young, my sister is really young, and she hasn't eaten yet, right?"
At the end of this round, there will definitely be such a sentence to the child, "Hey, don't stand still, go make a cup of tea for Auntie, this child is really ignorant." Zhou Biyun said to Chen Yi.
"Don't be busy, I'm going to go out to eat later, doesn't it mean that I've booked a restaurant." Jiang Qiong stood up and waved at Chen Yi, who was about to enter the kitchen, and walked quickly to her suitcase, opening it and saying, "I prepared a meeting gift for my mother-in-law." ”
"Oh, you're too polite, I wasn't prepared. Zhou Biyun looked at Chen Yi awkwardly and motioned for her to clear the siege quickly.
Chen Yi answered in a natural tone, "Isn't it because you've been too busy lately and really don't have time to go shopping?"
Zhou Biyun nodded, "Yes, yes." ”
"Let's take a look, is it suitable?" Jiang Qiong turned around, picked up a bright red silk scarf, and said while wrapping it around Zhou Biyun's neck, "This is what we bought when we just traveled to Beidaihe last week, it's not an expensive thing, my sister should wear it for fun, you see, this red color is more lined with you, and it looks very good." ”
Zhou Biyun doesn't even need to touch the texture of this silk scarf, he knows how cheap it is, it is thin and brittle, and there is an industrial smell in the factory, and it is estimated that it is ten yuan or even three pieces of goods on the stall, and this kind of thing is used as a meeting gift? This is also too easy to reminiscent, "When you buy something you regret at home on a whim when you travel, then take it and give it away", who does this look down on? Zhou Biyun's face immediately sank.
She pinched the tip of the silk scarf with her thumb and forefinger, and said with a smile while slowly untying it, "It's good, usually what my daughter buys is Hermes or something, tens of thousands of silk scarves, I don't dare to wear them out, this is good, there is finally a piece that I can wear and play with." ”
Seeing this, Chi Nuo knew that his own mother had messed up, so he hurriedly threw a puzzled look at Jiang Qiong, and almost blurted out the sentence "What are you doing?"
Jiang Qiong seemed to realize that she had done something wrong, so she rolled her eyes away with a weak heart, but the smile on her face froze in place, and she didn't answer Zhou Biyun's words.
Chen Yi showed a headache in the face of these two aunts, and said to Zhou Biyun: "Mom, Auntie has said it, it's for you to wear and play." ”
Zhou Biyun took off the silk scarf and put it on the coffee table and said, "I didn't say no." ”
"I like this thing, give it to me. Chi Nuo pounced over and stuffed the silk scarf into his pocket, and said to them with a smile, "Big mother, little mother, hurry up and eat, you're hungry-"
"Wait a minute, I haven't visited your house yet. Jiang Qiong raised his hand to interrupt him.

Jiang Qiong took a look around the living room first, and looked here and there, "Although there are only two bedrooms, the house is quite big, clean and clean, and the smell is also very good." She took a deep breath and looked satisfied.
Seeing her sincere praise, Zhou Biyun was a little happy again, and said proudly, "Because our family doesn't like to pile things, so looking at Changliang, my sister thinks it smells good, it's incense, I can't stand the fumes at home now, and I smell a headache." ”
Speaking of oil smoke, Jiang Qiong went into the kitchen and sighed, "Is it true that there is no smell at all, and you don't cook on the fire?"
"It's definitely done, it's so clean mainly because my aunt cleans up diligently. Zhou Biyun said, "But Chen Yi is often not at home, and Chi Nuo only comes back at night, and I eat alone to cook bowls of noodles or order some dumplings, and the utilization of this kitchen is indeed not as high as that of ordinary people." ”
"Then this meal still has to be made every day, so that it tastes like home, the family gathers around a table of dishes, chats for a while, and watches TV, that is warm, sister said isn't it?" Jiang Qiong turned to Zhou Biyun and said, "This is not a little meat and vegetarian to eat every day, it is also harmful to health, it is too critical to open the fire at home, and it is okay to eat it occasionally outside, especially takeaway, that oil, dirty, I know Chi Nuo loves to eat takeout, you have to take care of him." After that, she glared at Chi Nuo, and then looked at Chen Yi with a smile, "The health of this family still depends on you, as the old saying goes, the head of the family is a man, we as women know that the whole family is taken care of by being a wife, Chen Yi, don't just be busy with work, you also have to take care of the old and young in this house, you will have children in the future, how can there be children who don't grow up eating their mother's cooking?"
There are too many points worth refuting in her words, but Chen Yi just smiled wordlessly, then turned her face away, and slowly asked Chi Nuo meaningfully, "Chi Nuo, is Auntie right?"
Chi Nuo hurriedly pulled Jiang Qiong to his side and said, "Mom, don't nag, everyone has a job, and there is really no time to cook, and there is no way, if everyone can take care of both, how can you say that there is an organization in this world that cooks for you and does housework? ”
"You're clever and heretical. Jiang Qiongbai glanced at him, and then walked to the master bedroom, "Is this your room with Chen Yi? After that, he turned his head to Chen Yi and said, "I'm sorry, Chen Yi, Auntie will stay for two or three days and leave, wronged you to make a place first." ”
"Wait, what do you mean? You want to stay?" Zhou Biyun intercepted the conversation and asked everyone in a shrill voice, "What about me? Isn't there only two beds in this room? Why don't you say hello to me." ”
"Mom, Auntie and Chi Nuo sleep in this bed, and I will sleep with you. Chen Yi took her hand and secretly tried her hard, signaling her not to shout loudly.
Zhou Biyun didn't cooperate, "I don't do it, I sleep comfortably by myself, there are many people on the bed, and I can't feel comfortable when I turn over." At the moment, she is not reluctant to share a bed with her daughter, but she is not happy that Jiang Qiong wants to stay overnight, so she is making trouble in a different way - Chen Yi of course knows her intentions.
But she didn't want to entangle with the two old ladies anymore, she said with a headache: "Okay, you sleep alone, anyway, I have been staying in a hotel for work recently." ”
Chi Nuo raised his hand and asked cautiously: "Can you ...... Gone to dinner?" he also looked like he was trying to survive in the cracks, and he just wanted to break free from the competitive atmosphere of the two old men as soon as possible.
