Chapter Twenty-Three: A Guest Comes to the House

The sky is cloudless, the air in August is hot and dry like a steamer, and the sweaty pedestrians on the road are like dumplings in a steamer.

Fang Zigu walked out of the house and ran out onto the street, quickly merging with the countless army of dumplings.

In the Labor Park on Xincheng Street, Gan District, City D, Fang Zigu ran around the park twice before he stopped out of breath.

Docked under a huge willow tree, Fang Zigu wiped the sweat from his forehead and bent over to take a few breaths.

The physique is really too weak, one circle of Labor Park is 500 meters, two circles are only one thousand meters, and when one meter is down, he is completely paralyzed.

I remember when I was in college, the playground was more than 400 meters of track, and I could insist on running ten laps.

Alas, time is worthy of being a pig-killing knife.

After resting under the willow tree for a while, Fang Zigu slowly got up by holding on to the trunk.

There was a tingling sensation in his thighs, and he rubbed his thighs and stomped his feet the spot.

[Old sister, you are so beautiful]

【Eyelash curl cherry mouth】

[I want to turn into a butterfly with you]

【Dancing and Flying】

......

There were bursts of singing in the square in the middle of the park, and Fang Zigu looked up and saw more than a dozen gorgeously dressed middle-aged and elderly women, staring at the scorching sun and dancing in the square in the middle of the square.

Seeing this, Fang Zigu couldn't help but sigh.

Look at these old people, although they are old, their vitality is not reduced, and they still insist on exercising on hot days.

Look at yourself again, you can't even be an old man......

There is no harm if there is no comparison, seeing these "youthful and glowing" elderly people, Fang Zigu felt that he could hold on for a while.

So, he slowly lay on the ground and did push-ups.

Dozens of seconds later, Fang Zigu stood up with a flushed face.

He felt a little ashamed that a big man couldn't hold up with only ten push-ups.

Immediately after, he went to the gym equipment in the park and tried pull-ups~

Fang Zigu wanted to commit suicide in shame~

Except for relying on "inertia" to do one, I can't do it anymore.

Harm!

A big man, whose physique is not as good as some women, is really embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house.

No wonder it can't even increase the charm value of 0.01!

"Dad, I made two more than that brother!"

A childish voice interrupted Fang Zigu's contemplation, and he looked in the direction from which the voice came from, only to see a little boy of 77 or 8 years old, hanging on a horizontal bar more than one meter high.

Next to the child, a middle-aged man was holding a children's bicycle and was looking at Fang Zigu with apologetic eyes.

Fang Zigu felt that he had received 10,000,000 critical hits in an instant!

I want to vomit blood!

Even if the physique is not as good as the aunt, now it is not as good as a child!

The most terrible thing was still to come, the seven or eight-year-old boy found that Fang Zigu turned his head to look at him, and let out a shout of "ah" in his mouth, and he actually twisted his body and did another one!

"Dad, I made four!" The child's excited voice reached Fang Zigu's ears, and Fang Zigu felt that his ears were red and his face was hot.

He didn't stay any longer, and quickly fled the scene with his tail between his legs~

When I got home, it was already noon.

Opening the door, a smell of food reached Fang Zigu's nostrils.

Fang Zigu turned his head to look and saw that the dining table was full of delicate and delicious meals.

【Braised prawns】

【Cola Chicken Wings】

【Potato braised pork】

【Scrambled eggs with tomatoes】

In the center is a stewed large yellow croaker with a rich aroma.

The sound of shovels stir-frying in the kitchen continued, and Fang Zigu twitched his nose, knowing that it was the fragrance of [Stir-fried Meat with Garlic].

What a day it is!

Fang Zigu swallowed his saliva and thought suspiciously.

But it's not a festival, it's not my birthday, it's not my mother's birthday, why does my mother cook so many dishes for herself?

"Mom, why did you come back at noon?" Fang Zigu shouted at the kitchen.

"I took a leave of absence from the company. Su Meizhen responded.

Mother's voice sounded normal, but Fang Zigu still heard a hint of emptiness in her voice.

Without waiting for Fang Zigu to speak, Su Meizhen continued: "Xiao Gu, go wash your hands and get ready to eat!"

Fang Zigu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his mother's gourd, so he responded when he heard the words and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

By the time Fang Zigu came back after changing his clothes, Su Meizhen had already prepared all the dishes and filled her son with a bowl of crystal clear rice.

"Son, are you hungry? Sit down and eat, it's all your favorite food. ”

Fang Zigu nodded, did not hesitate, sat on the chair and ate heavily.

After exercising for so long, he was indeed a little hungry.

However, what made Fang Zigu puzzled was that in the face of the delicious meal, her mother Su Meizhen didn't move, she looked at Fang Zigu, and stopped talking several times.

Fang Zigu finished eating the rice in the bowl and was just about to get up to serve a bowl, when Su Meizhen had already stood up and taken his bowl.

At this moment, Fang Zigu was almost certain that his mother must have something to hide from him.

When his mother put the rice on the table, Fang Zigu put down his chopsticks, turned his head to look at his mother, and said, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Su Meizhen hesitated for a moment and said, "You finish the meal first." ”

"You'd better say it first, or I won't be able to eat it. Fang Zigu shook his head.

Su Meizhen hesitated when she heard this, and a pair of hands that had become a little old due to years of hard work scratched at the apron.

"I, I, you, you...... At night, "Su Meizhen was very nervous, glanced at her son with her eyes from time to time, and quickly moved away.

"In the evening, I thought, I want to invite Mr. Liu to my house for dinner......"

"Teacher Liu?" Fang Zigu was stunned when he heard this.

Suddenly, he remembered that his mother had mentioned to her that she had a colleague who had worked in the same office with her for nearly ten years, and that he was a math teacher, who seemed to be surnamed Liu.

In an instant, Fang Zigu understood everything.

His heart was a little blocked at first, and then he sighed in his heart and saw it.

It has been more than ten years since my father left him and his mother.

At the beginning, for her own sake, her mother insisted on not remarrying despite her grandfather's opposition, but now that she has grown up, her mother has someone she likes, and she should fully support it.

Thinking of this, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "That's good, I've heard my mother say a long time ago that this Teacher Liu is gentle and responsible for students." I haven't had the opportunity to see it before, but now that I have the opportunity, I will definitely see it. ”

Hearing her son say this, Su Meizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, she pulled her hair together, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Fang Zigu found that with this smile, his mother seemed to be ten years younger in an instant, and she regained her former brilliance.

Seeing his radiant mother, Fang Zigu's heart trembled, "As long as my mother likes it, I can try to accept it." ”

Thinking silently in his heart, Fang Zigu picked up the rice bowl in front of him and took a big gulp.

It's just that this time the rice seems to have a little less flavor and a little more bitterness~
