Chapter 240: Mother
The wind and frost left traces of time on that face, and seeing the white-dyed temples, Jiang Chen felt that the corners of his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.
"Mom!" Jiang Chen hugged his mother.
"Chen'er, you're back. Holding her baby son, Li Xuemei's voice was a little choked, and she said with tears in her eyes.
"Well, I'm back. Your son's heart is in flux" Chewing excited tears in his eyes, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice.
"What's not out of the picture! You're all my son! Old man, your son is back, and he hasn't come out to see yet!" Li Xuemei shouted behind her.
However, there was no response from inside.
Patting her forehead, she smiled again.
"Look at my memory, your father is probably playing chess with someone in the stone pavilion next to the community square at this time, you hurry up to find him. It's time to eat, and the old thing must be bragging with those chess friends again, showing off that his precious son has bought a house in Wanghai City all day long. β
is older, his memory is not as good as before, looking at his mother, Jiang Chen's nose bridge is slightly sour.
"I have something to brag about. β
Although he said it modestly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a proud smile.
"Alright, don't be sassy, hurry up and call your father to come back and help me. It's rare for me to come back in the morning, your mother, I have to show my hand, is this?" As she spoke, Li Xuemei's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had found some treasure, and she found Aisha hiding next to Jiang Chen.
The face of a foreigner, for her, who has never been abroad. Undoubtedly a new thing.
"I'm Jiang Chen's secretary. "Aisha almost bit her tongue because of her nervousness.
Secretary?
Jiang Chen was stunned. This doesn't seem to be the same as saying yes. Looking at the pretty face that was red and about to ooze blood, he couldn't help but hold his forehead. I kind of understood why Aisha suddenly changed her hexagram.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment, this chick actually had stage fright
But fortunately, this can be regarded as saving the need to be "interrogated" by the two old men in turn.
"Secretary?" Li Xuemei looked at her son suspiciously.
Why did she bring a secretary when she went home? She thought it was her son's daughter-in-law. Although she is a foreigner's face, she does not reject it, but is proud of her son.
After all, growing up in the era of reform and opening up, in the eyes of people in their era, taking a foreign daughter-in-law home is undoubtedly a very face-saving thing.
"It's an assistant at work. The company has been busy lately, and because of work needs, she can only come back with me. Her name is Aisha. American. Jiang Chen hurriedly explained.
Although strictly speaking, Aisha is Syrian, but considering that there is a lot of negative news in that place, Jiang Chen is afraid that the old man will think too much, so Jiang Chen did not say her real hometown. The green card was handled with the help of Robertsto's acquaintance, and it is not wrong to say that he is an American.
Hearing Jiang Chen's explanation, Li Xuemei was stunned at first, then smiled at Aisha, and then took her hand enthusiastically, "Come in." Some of the houses haven't been cleaned up much, I hope you don't feel weird. β
"No, it's fine. Aisha said with a red face.
"Our family Chen'er is like this, she has been more wooden to girls since she was a child-"
"Ahem! Mom. Do you expose your son's bottom like this?" Jiang Chen coughed vigorously, hurriedly stopped his mother from continuing, and complained.
Although Jiang Chen looked embarrassed. But Aisha's face showed an expression of interest.
"What do you mean by revealing the old bottom!" scolded Jiang Chen, and Li Xuemei immediately greeted Aisha with a smile again. "Sasha, Auntie told you. Chen'er has been relatively honest since he was a child, and this is the first time he has brought a girl home. β
"Sasha, uh, the foreigner's name isn't spelledβ" Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and tried to correct his mother's mistake of common sense, but Aisha didn't care.
She seems to be interested in the nickname "Sasha".
"For the first time?" Aisha said with a slightly shy expression on her face.
"Hmm!" Li Xuemei nodded, she couldn't see the meaning of Aisha's expression, thinking of hugging her grandson earlier, she took Aisha's hand enthusiastically, and continued happily, "I'll tell you, when he was young"
Seeing the "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" walking into the house with such a smile and a smile, Jiang Chen also showed a heartfelt smile on his face.
Although he was a little worried that his mother would shake out his "black history", thinking of the happy expression on her face, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter.
As long as the old man is happy
Aisha started to fight for Li Xuemei, and the two prepared dinner together in the kitchen.
Speaking of food, this is not to mention a small episode that happened between her and Jiang Chen.
I remember that at the beginning, Jiang Chen was still a little worried about Aisha's beliefs, so he specifically proposed not to send pork to the organic food company that delivered vegetables (if you can afford to live in a villa, it is naturally impossible to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables by yourself).
It wasn't until one day that Aisha took a pizza takeaway sprinkled with diced ham for Jiang Chen, and the misunderstanding of taboo pork was solved.
According to Aisha, she became Jiang Chen's woman, in fact, she had violated the teachings, and she had automatically given up her identity as a sect, and the taboo on diet naturally did not exist. However, she still prefers beef and lamb to pork, which is purely due to eating habits rather than taboos.
Seeing her parents die at the hands of fanatical believers, she had long doubted her faith. So, she didn't feel any rejection of becoming an atheist with her husband. Especially after living in this highly secular country for some time, she has gradually become accustomed to the current life of living only for one person.
In fact, in ordinary life, Aisha's transformation can be observed, but Jiang Chen is just negligent. For example, if you are a believer, you need to pray five times a day, and Aisha never worships at home.
Seeing that Aisha had such a harmonious relationship with his mother, Jiang Chen also handed over the time to his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and went downstairs alone.
Downstairs, he met Lao Dao and Miao Jun, who were leaning against Santanna, chewing a boxed lunch.
"Why don't you go up and have a meal?" Looking at such a pitiful two, Jiang Chen invited with a smile.
Miao Jun seemed to want to agree, but the old knife shook his head.
"There is discipline in the organization, and it's good when we don't exist. β
shrugged his shoulders, and Jiang Chen didn't insist anymore.
"Whatever you want, but I'm a little confused, is it really okay for you to stand so conspicuous downstairs?"
Hearing this, the old knife grinned.
"So what do you think? Agents should be hiding in the bushes? That's a killer, not a bodyguard. β
Haha smiled, Jiang Chen waved his hand and walked in the direction of the square.
Pouting, the old knife continued to shoehorn the fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl in the plastic box.
"Don't you need to keep up?" Miao Jun had finished eating, stuffed the garbage into the trash can on the side, and clapped his hands.
Although the action of shaving rice was terrifying, the old knife chewed very slowly, swallowed the food in his mouth, and he said slowly and methodically.
"No, I don't. The neighborhood is safe. β
After being stunned for a moment, Miao Jun immediately reacted and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"The people up there don't say anything to usβ"
"Because it doesn't go by the eye. Interrupting his partner's words, the old knife said lightly, and threw the licked clean lunch into the trash, "So I said, you still have a lot to learn." β
VIPs are already protected, how can the security of their relatives be negligent?
If someone dares to make a small move here, it is no different from hitting the muzzle of a gun. (To be continued......)
