Chapter 19 (II)

In order to go home to visit her mother, Chen Yi proposed a long vacation to the company, which can be regarded as avoiding Bai Yuyuan who made her dizzy, Chi Nuo insisted on going back with her, his reason was that he and Chen Yi would be a family in the future, "Sooner or later, I will have to see my parents." ”
But Chen Yi is not mentally prepared, Zhou Biyun doesn't know that she and Bai Qi have broken up, and in her heart, she also recognizes Bai Qi as the best son-in-law, but before Chen Yi can think of a reason to shirk, Chi Nuo has already asked the TV station for leave, and Chen Yi is not good at dissuading him from taking such a positive and important attitude towards this matter.
"I'm so happy to be able to go back with you to the place where you grew up and see it. Sitting on the plane, Chi Nuo kept holding Chen Yi's hand, looked at her excitedly and said, "Sister, I feel so happy now, I used to dream of being with you, but I knew that I didn't deserve it, so I didn't really be with you in my dreams, and now my life is more beautiful than a dream." ”
Chen Yi felt an indescribable sense of guilt at this moment, Chi Nuo was so good, what was she hiding? Stable career, perfect love, what else did she want from life? She held his hand back, thinking that she should introduce this little boyfriend to her mother.
Zhou Biyun came to pick up the airport alone, which made Chen Yi feel surprised, because she was a road idiot, and lazy, when Chen Kuo was in the past, where to go, he closed his eyes and let him take him, from Xiaguang City to the airport of the provincial capital, to change several public transportation, but also to check the flight landing information, this is too complicated for Zhou Biyun, her life has always been two points and one line, and even the indoor bus route only knows home, The one at work, when she ran away from home and ran to Beijing before, it was still a ticket bought by her old girlfriend and a plane sent to her.
It can be seen how eager she is to see Chen Yi, from a distance, she waved her hand and walked over quickly, shouting "Yiyi! Yiyi!" in her mouth, and when she came to her, Chen Yi saw clearly that Zhou Biyun was obviously old, her hairstyle was no longer as carefully taken care of as in the past, half of her hair was white, and she was perfunctorily combed into a small hair ball on the back of her head, her dark circles and eye bags almost occupied half of her face, and the clothes on her body were also worn randomly, and the neckline was wrinkled, as if she was deliberately trying to match her sad face.
"Mom?" Chen Yi greeted him with open hands, his eyes and tone full of doubts.
"Yiyi, mom misses you, my darling. Zhou Biyun hugged Chen Yi tightly, constantly inhaling and breathing, as if feeling her daughter's existence, "Mom's heart is bitter, it's too bitter." ”
Chen Yi couldn't help but pat her on the back and coaxed, "What's wrong?
"Mom knows that you have been promoted, and you are so busy every day, so I dare not disturb you, but Mom is so lonely and tired now, no one to speak, I am going crazy. Zhou Biyun choked up and complained bitterly, "You don't know, without your father, anyone can bully me......"
She obviously suffered a lot of grievances, but she never took the initiative to mention it in her WeChat contact with Chen Yi, and noticed that her mother became "so sensible" after losing her loved ones, which made Chen Yi's heart like a knife.
"Who bullied you? Chen Yi gently rubbed away the tears hanging from the corners of Zhou Biyun's eyes, but her tone was vicious, "Mom, I'm back, who dares to bully you?" ”
"Sister, is this the one-" Chi Nuo took his luggage and walked out, and immediately shouted with a smile after seeing Zhou Biyun, who was intimate with Chen Yi's behavior, "Mom!"
Zhou Biyun replied with an expression of "Who are you?"

When he came to the taxi waiting point, Chi Nuo has been looking for various angles to be courteous, he snatched Zhou Biyun's light satchel and helped carry it, saying that he was afraid that she would be tired, and asked her to sit on his suitcase for a while, not to stand for too long and be prone to varicose veins.
"What's the matter with this little hairy boy?" Zhou Biyun glanced at Chen Yi with disgust and asked in a low voice.
"You heard him call you mom too......" Chen Yi pulled up the corners of her mouth and showed a very reluctant smile, she said, "He's my boyfriend, right." ”
"I'll get married in the future, husband!" Chi Nuo raised his hand to make additions, and finally didn't forget to shout at Zhou Biyun again, "Mom." ”
"Stop, I'll call after I get married, now I don't want to have more sons, don't take advantage of me. After that, Zhou Biyu turned her face and asked Chen Yi anxiously, "What about Bai Qi?"
Chen Yi said coldly: "It's divided." ”
"Divide it cleanly. Chi Nuo raised his hand higher and added proudly, "My sister and I are about to live together, and he has no chance." ”
"I'm against it!" Zhou Biyun shouted, clasped Chen Yi's hands and said, "Yiyi, don't be impulsive when living together is such a big thing." ”
When I was with Bai Qi at the beginning, the picture of my mother's serial urging marriage was still vivid, and now in the face of Chi Nuo, she couldn't help but step on the brakes even if she wanted to give her daughter away for nothing, it can be seen that Chi Nuo really doesn't look like a mature man suitable for marriage, Chen Yi couldn't help laughing, and when she glanced at Chi Nuo with a blank face, she couldn't hold back her laughter.
After getting into the car, Zhou Biyun asked, "Where to go?"
Chen Yi replied strangely: "Go home." ”
Zhou Biyun said even more strangely: "When Bai Qi comes, he will open a room in the hotel." ”
Chen Yi didn't figure out what she meant, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Biyun said wryly: "You open a room......"
Chen Yi frowned, "What's the matter, can't I bring my boyfriend home to live?"
Without waiting for Chi Nuo to quickly find a way to make Zhou Biyun happy, she first confessed the reason, "No, it's that I don't want to go back." ”

In the end, Chen Yi opened a family room in the best hotel in the center of Xiaguang, which is also the hotel where Bai Qi used to stay, because the so-called "best" in this small city is really only the best hotel.
"Tell me, why don't you want to go back? The house is haunted?" Chen Yi sat on the sofa in the master bedroom, looking at Zhou Biyun, who was tired of lying on the bed as soon as he entered the house, and after saying "haunted", he couldn't help but make a joke, "That's Dad came to see you, what are you afraid of." ”
Zhou Biyun sat up and rolled her eyes at her daughter, "Then I still can't wait for it! Dead ghost, I won't come back to see it after being dead for so long." ”
After speaking, she and Chen Yi looked at each other for a few seconds, and then smiled, they could finally naturally mention the deceased Chen Kuo, although there would still be a itchy pain in their hearts, but that was already proof that the pain was scabbing.
Zhou Biyun stared at Chen Yi, and after being silent for a while, he said with difficulty: "I'm so old, what are you afraid of? Take me away, you will know if you live longer, talent is terrible, because people want more things than ghosts-" She snorted coldly and continued, "Ghosts only need your life, people? ”
Since Chen Kuo's death, there are many relatives and friends carrying fruit baskets of health products like New Year's greetings to the door, lining up to Zhou Biyun to say "festival mourning", at first she did not recover from this sudden life change, her daughter also returned to Beijing, she was alone at home in the face of the train-like crowd in and out of the crowd is quite willing to receive, as if to heal the wound, she faced everyone tirelessly recounted the process of Chen Kuo's death, until she could no longer narrate, and even felt bored, and finally, to every "festival mourning change" They all just smiled and replied, "Do you eat fruit?"
These people filled her room lively, but what brought her was an indescribable coldness, and when no one stepped through this door to visit her, Zhou Biyun was about to start to adapt to another real coldness, she felt that the days were very long, the nights were longer, and she couldn't stand the days of talking to the TV every day, so she went to join the square dance team, she waved and shook her limbs enthusiastically, but she still felt empty in her heart, holding the newly met mothers-in-law and mothers and mothers chattering, but she still felt that " There wasn't even anyone around to talk to. ”
Zhou Biyun, who was fed up with this kind of life and was looking forward to a change, received a phone call, a relative who couldn't be far away, begging her to "do a little favor", and two children hoped to borrow it in her house - child?—— maybe they could light up this lonely house?—— "Okay!" - Zhou Biyun agreed.
