Chapter 17: A Family
The male protagonist and the female protagonist are the traditional family concepts in China for thousands of years.
Therefore, people often say that men are heaven and women are earth.
Especially in the South-Eastern Province.
This perception is particularly serious.
Even in the new era many years later, women in many parts of the southeastern province still rarely go out to work.
Stay at home and teach your husband and children, be a virtuous helper behind a man, and be a full-time housewife in the family.
At the time, a would say it was sexist.
But unfortunately, a certain who said such things didn't seem to be very advanced.
On the contrary, under this seemingly unfair discrimination, there is a happiness that many people have been looking for later.
That kind of happiness makes people feel warm when they think of it.
Huang Yajuan.
A native of Heron Island.
But because of those things in the past, she had to choose to go out to work like outsiders after getting married.
Life is hard.
However, Huang Yajuan does not regret this.
In her mind, marry a chicken and marry a dog with a dog.
As long as the family can be together, it is the greatest happiness.
But in the past year, Huang Yajuan gave up her job and became a housewife.
Huang Yajuan is not dissatisfied with this change.
Because, her son has the ability to get ahead.
But people are always greedy.
In addition to being satisfied, Huang Yajuan will always complain about something occasionally.
The mother of the child is worried.
Even if he knows that his son is very capable.
But that kind of irrepressible worry made Huang Yajuan, a mother, unable to let go.
Women are perhaps the most incomprehensible creatures in the world.
Thinking and worrying, Huang Yajuan's complaints will all be sprinkled on Zhao Donglai.
In this regard, Zhao Donglai was also helpless.
Who makes his own son more capable than himself.
He, the father, feels that his status in the family is declining day by day.
But on this day, Zhao Donglai's long-term grievances finally came to relief.
It was seven o'clock in the morning.
The two of them got dressed and got up.
It's not the same as usual.
The moment Huang Yajuan opened her eyes, a smile appeared on her face.
This smile made the sleepy-eyed Zhao Donglai secretly relieved.
But then, it's a sour feeling again.
Over the course of the year.
In addition to occasionally complaining, Huang Yajuan will deliberately take the opportunity to trouble Zhao Dong.
Every time her son is mentioned, Huang Yajuan complains.
complained that Zhao Donglai was incompetent, complained that his son was still young, and complained that the father didn't have to suffer the pain of falling off his head.
But Zhao Donglai couldn't refute it.
Who made him a father does not have the ability of his own son.
So Zhao Donglai was a little surprised.
Because today, their son is coming back.
In the bedroom, Huang Yajuan shouted at Zhao Donglai after getting dressed.
"Donglai, you get up quickly. Wait and go grocery shopping with me, or I won't be able to take it alone. ”
Zhao Donglai yawned.
The end of the year is approaching, and the work of China Merchants is busy again.
As the deputy director, Zhao Donglai has been busy from day to night recently.
Overtime has also become the norm.
Last night, in order to formulate a year-end investment plan, Zhao Donglai worked overtime and didn't come back until two o'clock.
It's only seven o'clock now, and Zhao Donglai, who has only slept for five hours, is still sleepy.
He tightened his eyes and said helplessly.
"Let me sleep again, that kid is estimated to come back in the afternoon, what are you anxious about. ”
If it was usual, Huang Yajuan would be afraid to complain at this time.
Today, though.
Huang Yajuan showed an unprecedented smile.
This laugh.
The laughing Zhao Donglai was creepy.
Just before Zhao Dong could explain anything, Huang Yajuan walked to the bedside.
She lowered her head and gently kissed her man's sleepy face.
Zhao Donglai had a feeling of flattery.
This kind of over-standard treatment has hardly been seen by the two in more than 20 years of marriage.
"Why don't you get up yet?"
This time, Zhao Donglai didn't dare to sleep anymore.
After enjoying the benefits, if you still don't know what to do.
He couldn't afford that kind of consequence.
On this day, Zhao Donglai did not go to work.
After breakfast, he accompanied Huang Yajuan out on the street.
"Uncle Wang. ”
"Juanzi, why are you going so early? ”
"My stinky boy is coming back, going buy some food. ”
"Sister-in-law Zhang, it's early. ”
"What are you doing here? ”
"Ogawa is coming back today, I'm going to buy some food. ”
Along.
Huang Yajuan had a smile on her face.
She was in a good mood and greeted her neighbors from time to time.
When they see people, they will say that their son is coming back.
In the wet market.
Huang Yajuan did not bargain with the vegetable sellers as usual.
Just the freshest, only the best and most nutritious.
She wants to cook a hearty meal for her son.
Grocery shopping.
Washing and chopping vegetables.
Huang Yajuan, who was busy non-stop, soon had a lot of sweat stains on her face.
But the smile on her face never diminished.
It's just that after almost noon, Huang Yajuan's smile gradually disappeared.
She became a little anxious.
Becomes a little irritable.
This anxiety and irritability, Zhao Donglai was unlucky.
"Didn't you say that you would be home in the morning, why haven't you come back yet? ”
"Didn't I tell you, Secretary Xiao has something to do with him, and he will be back in a while. ”
"Oh. ”
"Donglai, you hurry up and call again to ask. It's eleven o'clock. ”
"I've just beaten it, I'll be back later. ”
"It's eleven o'clock, why haven't I arrived home yet? Come east, you can call again. ”
"Didn't you just fight, what are you anxious about? ”
"How did you become a father? You haven't been back for so long, why aren't you in a hurry. Hurry up and find it for me..."
Zhao Donglai looked innocent.
He said aggrievedly.
"Juanzi. The children are all twenty years old, not young. I can't lose it. ”
"Then you can call and ask again. ”
“...”
“...”
Zhao Donglai had a feeling of collapse.
He suddenly understood why Sun Wukong was so afraid of the spell.
It turns out that the Tightening Spell not only destroys the ears, but also destroys the human heart.
"Come east, why don't you go and have a look. It's half past eleven, why haven't you come back yet? ”
"I'll be back soon. Didn't you just say that you had already gotten on the bus? ”
"Then you go to the door and have a look. ”
"It's not that he doesn't know the way, so why should he go and see it. ”
"Are you going?"
“...”
Zhao Donglai coaxed.
He could only hurry up.
"Good, good. I'll go now. ”
......
Ouyang Lan found that today's Zhao Jiangchuan was very different from usual.
In the usual days.
Zhao Jiangchuan is always very cold-blooded, very cunning, and very domineering and unreasonable.
He's scary, intimidating, and hard to leave.
That kind of Zhao Jiangchuan has an arrogant aura that surpasses this world.
That kind of breath will always make people involuntarily fall into it.
But now.
The aura on Zhao Jiangchuan's body was gone.
It's like a different person.
Gentle and relaxing.
It can even make people feel his peace of mind.
That kind of peace of mind made Ouyang Lan's heart begin to feel uneasy.
She began to get tight and panicked.
Li Xiaoyue is no better than Ouyang Lan.
Even compared to Ouyang Lan's panic, she even felt a little soft in her legs.
She was scared.
Fear of the unpredictable outcome.
Even more scared than when one fell into the demon capital.
Hello, Auntie. I'm Li Xiaoyue.
No, it wouldn't look too rusty.
Aunt. I'm Li Xiaoyue, this is a gift for you, a little heart.
Ah. It doesn't work either.
Although I have rehearsed countless times in my mind how to speak.
Wouldn't it be that I'm too old?
What if I don't let in?
Only one step at the door did Li Xiaoyue realize that she didn't seem to be fully prepared.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
As soon as the car drove into the gate of a community, Zhao Jiangchuan suddenly signaled Li Jingming to stop the car.
At the entrance of the community, a middle-aged man was standing.
The body shape that is extremely similar to Zhao Jiangchuan and the face shape that is seven points alike, anyone can guess the relationship between the two.
Zhao Donglai.
Zhao Jiangchuan's father.
He couldn't stand the devastation of the mantra and obediently came down to welcome his son home.
After the car is parked.
Zhao Jiangchuan pushed the car door and asked casually.
"Dad, what are you doing at the door. Where's my mom?"
Zhao Donglai threw his son a big white eye, he didn't have a good air.
"It's not your mom who asked me to come here to pick you up. ”
"Haha..."
Zhao Jiangchuan laughed dryly.
Then, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Li Xiaoyue..."
