Chapter 104: Differential Treatment
Hou Yan came downstairs in the community with his luggage, in a solemn mood, if the second elder asked about Liu Yun'er later, he didn't know how to answer, he couldn't say that she was going to get married, right? With the second elder's love for Liu Yun'er, it was easy to kick him out of the house again.
But he couldn't completely keep silent about Liu Yun'er, which would only arouse the suspicion of the second elder even more.
In the end, Hou Yan made up his mind that if there was something about Liu Yun'er, he would act when he saw the opportunity for a while, and he would make it up if he could, if there was really a problem that stumped him, then he would directly say that he didn't know.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Hou Yan opened the door and shouted, as soon as he entered the house, he smelled the aroma of food, and when it came to eating, since the last mission, he hadn't eaten a good meal seriously for a long time.
It was his mother Liu Fen who went out to greet Hou Yan, wearing an apron and holding a spatula for cooking, sweating profusely and running out of the kitchen.
Liu Fen was very happy when she saw her son, took Hou Yan's suitcase and pushed it aside, her eyes looked out of the door from time to time, occasionally glanced at Hou Yan, and her body blocked Hou Yan's way and stopped him at the door.
"Son, where's Yun'er?" asked Liu Fen with a smile.
Hou Yan was stunned in place, he was still carrying a large bag of things in his hand, he couldn't help but sniffle, thinking, what's the matter? Liu Yun'er didn't come, wouldn't he let him in?
Although he thought so, he didn't dare to say so, hugged his mother with a smile, and said softly: "Mom, Yun'er, I didn't come back this time, so I came back to live for a few days, and I came to take care of your second elder." ”
After Liu Fen heard Hou Yan's words, her disappointed expression was vividly displayed on her face, she didn't even look at him much, took Hou Yan's luggage into the room, and said to Hou Yan behind her: "Come in, be happy in vain." ”
Hou Yan's face was full of black lines, he could clearly feel the changes in his mother's mood, and he couldn't help but wonder what attracted the second elder about this Liu Yun'er, and Yu Fang, who had been taking care of them, didn't necessarily have such treatment, could this be the importance of the official announcement?
But even so, in the heart of the second elder, the daughter-in-law is more important than the son, so his son is too sad.
Liu Fen went into the kitchen again to cook and cook, Hou Yan took off his coat and walked around the house, I have to say that the house that Ai Qing and Zhao Song picked for the second elder is really good, the north and south are transparent, the environment is warm, and there is a small garden under the balcony, which is the most suitable for the elderly.
Hou Yan asked Caixiang, and suddenly thought of helping the second elder and feel the happiness of his childhood, but as soon as he walked to the door of the kitchen, he heard the conversation of the second elder inside.
"Old man, let's cook a few dishes, Yun'er didn't come back with you. Liu Fen said while washing vegetables.
I thought that Liu Fen's words would hurt people enough, but I didn't expect Hou Zhiyuan's attitude to be even more exaggerated, he had such a violent temper, he directly dropped the spatula in his hand, and said to Liu Fen: "Yun'er didn't come back? Then what did he do when he came back? Don't work hard, go home to eat and drink?"
As soon as Hou Zhiyuan turned around, he saw Hou Yan standing at the door, and Liu Fen also saw him.
Hou Yan almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he was a big man, and now he was wronged like this, looking at his parents with teary eyes, his mouth was pouting, his nose kept twitching, and he was about to cry, and shouted aggrievedly: "Dad, Mom......"
Liu Fen and Hou Zhiyuan couldn't bear to see their son like this, knowing that what the two of them said just now was a bit excessive, because they didn't expect to be suspected of hearing it.
The three of them stood in a triangle, except for the gas stove in the kitchen, only the range hood was still ringing, the scene was once embarrassed, and the suspicious child shook his body, hugged his shoulders and sat on the chair, looking at his parents with resentful eyes.
Liu Fen hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "Ah, monkey, I'm joking with your father, why don't you cook for your son? right, old man?", she approached Hou Zhiyuan as she spoke, and secretly pinched Hou Zhiyuan's waist with one hand.
"Well, yes, yes, I'm teasing you with your mother here, this is cooking, this is cooking!" Hou Zhiyuan said with a smile, turned around and picked up the spatula in the pot and continued to stir-fry.
Liu Fen was embarrassed to look at Hou Yan's little eyes, so she also turned around and whispered to Hou Zhiyuan: "Just fry this dish, and talk about the remaining three dishes later." ”
According to common sense, under the loud noise of the range hood, Hou Yan should not be able to hear it, but the headphones in his ears can receive it, and the mood that has just eased up has become aggrieved again, and he shouted in a cheap voice: "Mom~"
"Oh, okay, it's all for you, it's all for you! It's a big person, and it's like a child. Liu Fen said helplessly.
Hou Zhiyuan followed and said: "That is, people who are about to be thirty, and they don't know how to be considerate of their parents, go, call Songzi and Xiaofang and prepare for dinner." ”
Hou Yan pursed his lips, he was trained for three good dishes, not only did he not lose money, but he also made blood!
Hou Yan, who was in a good mood, walked out of the kitchen, and Zhao Song lived in the same unit, which was particularly convenient.
"Songzi, it's time to eat!" Hou Yan shouted.
Zhao Song was watching TV at home, saw Hou Yan coming, got up to greet him, pulled him to sit in the house, and handed him a handle, TV is the most classic arcade game, but the unsightly picture quality can evoke the memories of a generation.
Hou Yan couldn't help the temptation, and accompanied Zhao Song to play an arcade boxer, thinking that when he first came to work in the county, he would be taken by Songzi to the game hall to play coins whenever he had free time.
"Don't play, don't play, you play every time. Zhao Song looked at his figure and died again, and threw away the handle and complained.
Hou Yan was still a little unsatisfied, completely forgetting what his purpose was for coming to Zhao Song.
Zhao Song asked, "What did you just say, did you eat?"
Hou Yan slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "Yes, I asked you to eat, how did I accompany you to play the game?" ”
"Don't go, Xiaofang is not at home, she is now a teacher in a kindergarten, and she will get off work later. ”
"She's got a job, what about you? You won't play games all day, will you?" Hou Yan said dissatisfied.
"How is it possible, after I received your call, I specially asked the factory owner for leave in order to have dinner with you. ”
Yu Fang and Zhao Song have already started their own lives under Ai Qing's arrangement before, Zhao Song works odd jobs in a food processing factory, and he can't make a lot of money, that is, enough for his daily food and clothing, Yu Fang still does his old job and works as a teacher for children.
When chatting with Zhao Song, Hou Yan always felt that Zhao Song had something to hide from him, because in terms of the relationship between him and Zhao Song, there would be no obstacles to communication and exchanges between the two, and there were no secrets to each other, but Zhao Song was always stunned when he spoke today, and he was still squeaking.
Hou Yan frowned and asked, "Songzi, hasn't our mother's illness improved yet, do you need money?"
"There is no shortage of money, I didn't dare to spend the money you gave last time. ”
"Why are you two still here, let's go eat together. The person who spoke was Yu Fang, who had just come back from work, she was still dressed so plainly, and when she saw Hou Yan, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, but it appeared in an instant and did not attract Hou Yan's attention.
Liu Fen and Hou Zhiyuan did not treat Hou Yan badly after all, and made a table of good dishes, but Hou Yan was not blessed to enjoy it, because before the meal, the dominance of the body was handed over to Ai Qing.
As soon as Ai Qing appeared, he was crying and mournful, he was still immersed in his sea of sadness and couldn't get out, he did have the idea of suicide, but seeing the surrounding environment, he dispelled this idea, he recognized this house as the second elder's home at the first time, and curiosity replaced sadness.
"Monkey, why are you home?" Ai Qing asked.
"It's not because of you? cherish the moment, what belongs to you, you can't run away, and if you don't belong to you, you can't ask for it. Hou Yan incarnated as a great philosopher, talked about the essence of life, and tried to brainwash Ai Qing and make him forget his pain.
This is Ai Qing's low emotional intelligence, coupled with the care of the second elder at the dinner table, he slowly calmed down his emotions and thought in an optimistic and positive direction.
The second elder gave Ai Qing all the big fish and meat, and Hou Yan was full of vinegar in his body, he did the hardest and most tiring work, but all the good things were enjoyed by Ai Qing.
After this meal, the happiest person is Ai Qing herself, and the warmth of family affection temporarily suppresses the sadness brought to him by love.
Zhao Song and Yu Fang could only be regarded as rubbing rice, and chatted with Ai Qing and the second elder, Yu Fang had to prepare for the next day's lecture, so she helped the second elder clean up the tableware and went back upstairs early.
The second elder surrounded Ai Qing to ask about the recent living situation, and inevitably asked about him and Liu Yun'er.
I also kept emphasizing in my body that I couldn't tell the second elder about this matter, so Ai Qing endured the severe pain in her heart, pretended to be happy on the surface, and lied that his emotional life with Liu Yuner was very good.
explained that Liu Yuner didn't take the time to come back this time because she was busy with work, and said that they had already thought about the future, and a string of lies were told, which was out of control, and finally talked about the issue of planning to get married and have children, and said that Ai Qing believed it herself.
Ai Qing not only coaxed the second elder to be happy, but also pushed himself into his fantasy world, he imagined that he was still happily with Liu Yun'er, without any one to stop him, step by step towards the palace of marriage, even Hou Yan was kicked out of the fantasy world by him.
It was getting late, the second elder went out for a walk, leaving Ai Qing to sit at home bored and play on the computer, trying to restrain himself from thinking about Liu Yun'er, he first logged on to the intranet of Tiandao Company to check Hou Yan's personal information page, and the reward for this mission of Jiuxi Pupil had been issued to him.
Ai Qing looked at these sets of data curiously, because there was a difference in the amount of its increase, which was a lot more than the bonuses and points promised in the previous mission introduction, from the original 20 million bounty to 50 million, and the points from 15 percent to 20 percent, and now he is a total of prefecture-level thieves, forty percent of the points.
"Monkey, how about going out for a walk with me?" Zhao Song suddenly pushed the door in, so frightened that Ai Qing directly unplugged the computer.
Zhao Song walked up to Ai Qing curiously, looked at the computer screen that suddenly went black, and said with a wicked smile: "Are you kid watching some embarrassing movie behind my back......?"
