Chen Anxiu's phone call with his family took a long time, in addition to really having something to say, another reason he didn't want to admit was that he was a little scared in his heart about getting along with the two old men of the Zhang family, especially the old man, who used to be able to pretend to be stupid and stubbornly make up. However, this time Zhang Shinian was injured on Green Island this time, and the old man was a little unhappy when he found out.
Years ago, they came back late, the old man didn't ask anything, but Zhang Shinian's injury was there, how could he hide it, after the year Zhang Shinian took the initiative to talk to the old man once, when talking, he didn't go in, but when Zhang Shinian came out, he saw it, he glanced at it from a distance from the half-open door, and the old man was sitting opposite the door with an ugly face. Probably noticing his gaze, the old man motioned for the secretary to close the door in front of him.
He thought about going over to apologize in person, and Zhang Shinian said that he had said everything that should be said, since the matter has passed, the more he explains, the more chaotic it becomes, as long as others are okay, the old man will be over in two days. Chen Anxiu thinks about it, it makes sense, what can he say, it's not good to go to the old man and state the trivial things of his family, even if he is willing to say it, the old man may not be willing to listen. What's more, he's really a little speechless.
These days, he mainly focuses on the matter of apprenticeship, and the time spent in Zhang's house is relatively small, so he temporarily put this matter aside, and now that the apprenticeship has ended, he has no excuse to escape, and he doesn't know if the old man's anger is over. Zhang Shinian is not here now, and no one has stepped on the outpost to step on the thunder.
Chen Anxiu rubbed his face and told himself not to think about it here, if the old man is angry or not, doesn't he have to go out of this room? Unless he doesn't plan to see the old man for the rest of his life, can he shrink in the bedroom and wait for Zhang Shinian to get off work to rescue him, or just rush out and pick up tons and tons of people and turn around and leave without stopping for a moment? For now, it seems that the second option is more operable.
He thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh at first, it wasn't to that point yet, okay? Before anyone else could speak, he tossed himself into a nervous disorder. When I entered the door to see the old man just now, the old man's attitude seemed to be quite normal.
Chen Anxiu threw his mobile phone on the bedside table, went into the bathroom to wash his face again, and then pulled the door out, just like he heard in the bedroom just now, the old man was really in the hall, and Secretary Xu had finished speaking, and he was standing on the windowsill at the moment pruning two potted plants that had bloomed. Now the time is just past five o'clock, the day of March, the day is getting longer, but at this point in time, the house is already a little dark, Chen Anxiu turned on the light, Zhang Jinzhi glanced back at him, and asked, "Have you washed up?"
"Well, I was sweating outside today. He remembered that he had just said that he had just said to go back to the house and wash up, "This flower is so fragrant." "This should be safer to start with, right?
"It's called nine mile. β
"No wonder. "It looks inconspicuous, but the aroma is very strong, although the lights are turned on in the house now, but the light is no brighter than the daytime when the sun is in full bloom, especially the potted flowers and leaves are luxuriant, and the shadows in the gaps are heavy, the old man is old again, every time he puts down the scissors, he almost has to bend down and lie on it, Chen Anxiu took the initiative to say, "The light in the house is too dark, you say, I'll help you cut it?"
Secretary Xu Gang took out the documents and sat down on the sofa in the small living room next door, and when he heard Chen Anxiu say this, he shook his head silently, these potted plants have always been taken care of by the old man himself, and they are a leisure pastime for the old man, where is there to help people rest?
After Chen Anxiu finished speaking, seeing that the old man didn't say anything, he thought that he had said the wrong thing again, he subconsciously scratched his head, and his mind quickly turned to say something to turn this embarrassing topic away, "Otherwise...... "I'm going to move the lamp over?"
But before he could finish speaking, the old man handed over the pruning shears and said, "This is convenient." β
Chen Anxiu breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to take the scissors. The old man said, and he was in charge of cutting the scissors. Occasionally, the old man also gave some tips and common sense for pruning potted plants.
Xu Mocheng heard that the two next door got along okay, so he no longer paid attention to that side, and tried to focus on the few documents at hand, but it didn't seem to be very successful, he could see that the old man was trying to accept Chen Anxiu's existence, but this process was not too easy, the old man was arrogant all his life, strict with himself, and his hopes for future generations were also quite high, especially when he was young, he was the only seedling of the old man's lineage, and he was taught by the old man since he was a child, even if the old man did not insist that he must find a distinguished lady in his old age, but in his heart he still felt that Chen Anxiu's conditions were a little worseγ Of course, it is not only for Chen Anxiu, but also for Shi Nian.
"Are these branches pruned from the roots?"
"Yes. β
Chen Anxiu has good eyes and accurate hands, and there is almost no pressure to do this job.
"These two branches are cut from two-thirds of the way down the bevel, leaving the outer bud behind. β
"There are a lot of buds on this side that are blooming very quickly. "The leaves are also luxuriant, isn't it a pity to cut them now?
Zhang Jinzhi understood what he had not said, and patiently stretched out his finger to show him, "You just see that it is growing well now, but you pay attention to the position of these two branches, if you let it grow, the bottom of this pot will be completely covered in a few days, and it will not be ventilated and light, and it will affect the whole pot of flowers at that time." β
Chen Anxiu didn't say much when he heard this, according to what the old man said, he cut off the two branches, and the old man said again while he cut it, "Sometimes I worry too much, and I want to be thoughtful about everything, but I can't do everything well." Take a long-term view. β
Did the old man want to tell him anything? Chen Anxiu wanted to ask, but his intuition told him that the old man would not give him any more explanation.
After the potted plants were pruned, Zhang Jinzhi watched them for a while and then let Chen Anxiu carry them to the flower room in the West Cross Courtyard.
Looking at the back of the man leaving, the old man washed his hands in the prepared basin, this child is too benevolent, and he has a lot of worries about doing things, and he will inevitably lose a decisive point in doing things. If the Chen family's affairs had been decided earlier, they might not have gotten to the point where they are today. I hope that this is not like Chen Anxiu, he hopes that the child can be well-behaved, and does not need to have too much compassion.
When Chen Anxiu came back again, he came from the room after washing up, his hair was not wiped clean, and the old man was wiping his hair with a big towel, and only at this time did this old man look like an ordinary grandfather.
He used to sit with him for a while, and after half past five, the kitchen began to prepare dinner, and the cook came to ask about tonight's dishes, and the two old men had little for dinner, so the old man did not order special dishes, but only asked to boil some beef soup for Mao Mao. It's okay for others not to eat meat, but they don't do it.
Chen Anxiu ate at the hotel at noon, the dishes were relatively greasy, he wanted to eat some green vegetables tonight, and the cook Yang Xiaotao said, "Tonight's winter bamboo shoots and lotus roots are very fresh." Qingjiang cabbage is also good. β
"Then let's look at these things and fry two green vegetables, I'm sorry for you, Aunt Yang. "Instead of making people guess and end up not being able to taste it, it's better to order two of what you want to eat.
Tons are a little tired today, and they don't have much appetite, so I didn't add more vegetables when I heard my father order them.
Usually, the dinner of the Zhang family is earlier than this, but if Chen Anxiu's family stays, in order to wait for Zhang Shinian to get off work, it will be automatically postponed, but fortunately, Zhang Shinian is not too late to get off work today, and he will arrive home at seven o'clock.
He slept for more than two hours, but he obviously hadn't slept enough, so he lay on his father's body like a pig, humming and chirping, and his head arched in his father's arms and wanted to continue sleeping.
Chen Anxiu picked him up and walked around, and teased him with toys in the back, he slowly opened his eyes, but he still lay on his father's shoulder and was unwilling to move, even when he saw Zhang Shinian enter the door, he just drooped his eyelids and called out to Dad, and then there was no other action, if he wanted to change to another time, he would have already jumped up and hugged Dad's leg, and he wanted to hug and kiss, otherwise he would go through Dad's bag to see if he had brought back anything delicious. Zhang Shinian is also willing to cooperate with him, and often puts small snacks such as biscuits and snacks in his bag to make him happy. Of course, he is really coaxing, sometimes he turns over a piece of candy, and he can hold it for a long time.
Before Zhang Shinian came back today, he was worried that he was unhappy because he left him, so he specially filled three white chocolates in his bag before getting off work, but now he saw Mao Mao, but he was not happy, he was directly out of energy.
Zhang Shinian took out two chocolates from his bag, threw one to Tonton, and then took Mao Mao from Chen Anxiu's hand, "What's wrong with Mao Mao?" He looked at Mao Mao's face a little red, so he pasted it and tried the temperature of Mao Mao's forehead first, "Why does your head seem to be a little hot." β
Chen Anxiu explained from the side, "I just came out of the bed. β
Zhang Shinian was relieved when he heard him say this, "Tell your father about the little pig, why have you slept for so long today?" He sat down with Mao Mao, peeled off the chocolate and fed Mao Mao to eat, Mao Mao likes sweet things, at first he still drooped his eyelids and wanted to sleep, and when there was a sweet taste in his mouth, he clicked his lips himself, and stretched out his little tongue to lick it, but An Xiu didn't let Mao Mao eat sweets, and saw that he was a little energetic and put away the rest of the chocolate, and made an appointment to eat it tomorrow. Dad poured him some water, and he drank it himself, holding the cup. Zhang Shinian took advantage of this time to go back to the house and change clothes.
Before eating, everything was normal, even Zhang Shinian thought that he might be a little bit of a big memory, and he forgot about the morning's events in a blink of an eye. The dining room and kitchen at home are on the east side of the house, when they passed, the kitchen had just started to serve food, and it was time to run in the front when walking, and it would not stop after entering the house, Chen Anxiu was worried that he would be uncomfortable when he was too strong to eat, so he pulled people over and coaxed him and said, "Mao Mao, you go to the kitchen and ask Grandma Yang for chopsticks, one pair per person, you count how many people there are at the table first, how many pairs should be wanted." β
It's not the first time he's done this, he's willing to run, he's been familiar with the car at home on Green Island before, and when he heard his father say this, he counted around the table, "Maomao, grandpa, grandma, dad, dad, get it." "When other children first started to learn these people, they often forgot to count themselves, and he never forgot himself from the first time, even though he didn't know how to use chopsticks at all, he had to take a pair in front of him.
Chen Anxiu listened to him finish counting, so he gently pushed his back and said, "Okay, let's go get it after counting, and carefully watch the road under your feet." β
ran away chubbyly, and Chen Anxiu was not very relieved to follow after all. Seeing this, Fang Bining smiled and didn't speak, but Zhang Jinzhi asked with interest, "So many people, do you come here with chopsticks?"
Ton Ton proudly replied, "The number of students is the fastest." β
Sure enough, it didn't take long to hear Mao Mao in the kitchen counting angrily, "One, one, one, one......" and then I saw Mao Mao come out with a large handful of chopsticks in his hands.
The old man took the initiative to stretch out his hand, risking to put a pair in his grandfather's hand, a pair in his grandmother's hand, and then his brother's, and the last pair was his own, Chen Anxiu had already found out that he only took four pairs of chopsticks, and thought he was taking the wrong one, and he didn't break it at the time, and now he deliberately said, "Mao Mao, why is there only one pair left, what about me and your father's chopsticks?"
Zhang Shinian also cooperated, "Yes, where are the big daddy's chopsticks?"
Chen Anxiu was ready to accompany Mao Mao to run again, but he didn't know that Mao Mao opened his mouth and said, "Don't give it to Dad." β
Zhang Shinian probably knew that he remembered what happened in the morning, so he picked it up and put it on his knee and said, "You talk to your father, why don't you bring it to me and your father?"
After a year, my language skills have evolved a lot, and now I can express myself roughly many times, "Don't take me, don't give it to my father."
Zhang Shinian asked him again, "Then why did you get it for your brother?" also left him, and the treatment he enjoys now is really different.
"It's a good idea. β
When is my brother pro, my father can't say it's good, it depends on the specific situation, even Zhang Shinian promised to take him out to play another day, and he didn't appreciate it, and in the end, Chen Anxiu looked at the dishes and went to the kitchen to get two pairs of chopsticks.
During the meal, he was fed soup and drank very happily, Chen Anxiu thought that it should be almost the same as this scene, and he played his cards unreasonably, and when it was time to go to bed, he wanted to sleep with his brother.
"No, my brother is very tired today, don't go and make trouble for my brother. β
This time tons of tons didn't help him, he didn't take it alone, if he woke up at night and didn't see his father, he would definitely cry, he didn't want to get up in the middle of the night today, "You be good, brother will accompany you another day, not today." β
Mao Mao stared at his brother with round eyes, and after making sure that his brother really didn't help this time, he had to sleep with his grandfather again.
It was not easy to refuse the old man Chen Anxiu, so he said tactfully, "You slept in the afternoon, grandpa hasn't slept yet, if you go, grandpa won't be able to sleep, if you want to play with grandpa, come to grandpa again tomorrow when you wake up, okay?"
"I don't. "When he rejects people, he is crisp and neat, and he still looks at you with his eyes, and he looks at you deliberately annoying.
Chen Anxiu patiently said a lot of good things, but this time he didn't buy it, so that when he said that later, Chen Anxiu secretly looked at him with his eyes, but this time he was stubborn to resist to the end, as soon as Chen Anxiu glared at him, he threw himself into his grandfather's arms and shouted softly, "Grandpa." β
The old man loved him, knowing that he would definitely make trouble at night, so he couldn't help but compromise and said, "Let him go to my room to play first, and when he is sleepy, you can come and pick him up." β
Chen Anxiu knew that the old man's routine had always been very regular, and Mao Mao slept late this afternoon, and he definitely couldn't go to bed early tonight, he was worried that Mao Mao would make a fuss in the past, and Zhang Shinian did not agree to Mao Mao's past. But Mao Mao is unusually difficult to communicate tonight, and he doesn't listen to anyone's words, the role of singing white face at home has always been Chen Anxiu, but he understands that he has really snubbed Mao Mao for tons of things recently, and he can't be tough, and in the end he can only watch the old man make a decision and bring Mao Mao back to his room.
When he was leaving, he frequently looked back at his father, Chen Anxiu pretended to ignore him, and pulled Zhang Shinian back to the bedroom, after entering the door, he stuck to the door panel and listened, and didn't seem to cry, "There should be nothing to do for the time being, it is estimated that it will not be troublesome until I am sleepy." You go take a shower first. β
Zhang Shinian pulled the person over by the waist, put it on his lips and kissed him, "Together?"
Chen Anxiu touched his head with regret, "Good boy, go by yourself, everyone has to learn to grow up, I washed it before eating." β
Zhang Shinian was a slap on his buttocks, but it didn't hurt or itch, Chen Anxiu jumped away with a smile.
After Zhang Shinian entered the bathroom, he took out the chocolate that belonged to him from his bag and broke half of it and threw it into his mouth, and the remaining half of it was connected and put into the Xiaoice box by the window. He leaned on the window and looked at the room on the other side of the West Wing, Ton Ton seemed to be really tired today, and the lights went out after a while. The lights on the old man's side were always on, but the doors and windows were closed tightly, and he didn't know what was going on inside.
But no matter what the situation is, he didn't know that it hadn't been five minutes before he chased it over, and when the chocolate was finished, he changed into pajamas, and took out Zhang Shinian's pajamas to hang them, but when he finished brushing his teeth, Zhang Shinian soaked in the bathtub and didn't want to get up, he automatically rolled over to help people pinch their shoulders, Zhang Shinian came back from work for a day, and his shoulders and neck were often sore, Chen Anxiu rubbed them down all the year round, and now his skills are already very good.
The two chatted, Chen Anxiu remembered the phone call he had made at home before, and he told him about the interview that Fourth Uncle Chen was going to be interviewed, "Actually, that interview was nothing, but my fourth uncle has always been unassuming, every time he comes back, there are many relatives and classmates who invite him to eat and drink, and he rarely goes, why did he suddenly accept this interview this time? "He's not in Green Island, I don't know much about the specific situation, I talk too much on the phone, I'm afraid that my father will worry, and it's really not his junior's turn to interfere in what the fourth uncle has decided, he just feels that the turn in the middle doesn't make sense.
Chen Jianyou?Zhang Shinian raised his hand and nodded to the right, feeling that An Xiu would increase his strength there willingly. Regarding Chen Jianyou, when he was investigating Chen Anxiu's experience in the army, he had read some information about this person by the way. From a peasant boy with no background to the current naval colonel, the road Chen Jianyou has walked is of course inseparable from the Xue family behind him, but according to the data, the Xue family has many sons and nephews in the army, and it is not one or two who perform well, Chen Jianyou, as the son-in-law of the Xue family, is half an outsider, he was tied to the Xue family's boat early, but the resources and support he could get at the beginning were very limited. To put it simply, he is not valued by the Xue family, and in recent years, he has been better, and the sea in the south is not very stable, and at the same time, many people have been given the opportunity to show meritorious service. The army is not an indisputable paradise, Chen Jianyou has been able to come to the present steadily, and his excellent personal ability is certainly one thing, but his steady and low-key style of acting is definitely a plus. Such a person must take one step and think three steps, and it is difficult for the decision that has been made to change the hexagram temporarily, unless there is a reason that he has to change halfway, of course, he can't guess what this reason is. But since it was Chen Tianli who pulled the thread, maybe this matter should be on Boss Chen's side. But now there is not enough factual evidence, and all inferences can only be inferences. As long as the An Xiu family was not involved, the others didn't want to bother too much.
As for Chen Tianli, he doesn't have a bad impression, he knows his position, and he knows how to advance and retreat, for him, this is enough, and he doesn't mind pushing at the right time, such as Chen Tianli's current deputy director.
"Maybe there's something you can't push away, right?"
"Well, maybe. Chen Anxiu just remembered to say this, and he didn't expect to draw any conclusions, after all, Zhang Shinian didn't know as much about those things in the family as he did.
Zhang Shinian went to pick up Mao Mao again after taking a bath, Mao Mao was jumping on the bed of his grandparents, and his father wanted to carry him away, so he got into his grandmother's bed, and he couldn't persuade him. Even if Zhang Shinian and Fang Bi are in love with mother and son, but the old lady doesn't pull people out, Zhang Shinian can't lift the old lady's quilt, and the first pick-up operation failed.
The second time was about twenty minutes later, Chen Anxiu followed, Mao Mao had just come back from going to the toilet, and before he could climb into bed, he was grabbed by Chen Anxiu, no matter how he made trouble, he was ready to leave with his arms, but before he went out of the door, he began to cry, just like someone suddenly twisted him, crying wow. Chen Anxiu didn't feel distressed yet, the old man was distressed first, and asked the child to stay, saying that he would leave when he wanted to. Yes, the second time ended in failure.
After these two lessons, in the middle of the night, Chen Anxiu didn't want to provoke him, no matter how noisy he was, there was always a time when he was sleepy, as long as he wanted to sleep, he didn't believe that he didn't come back obediently.
"Really not going to pick it up?"
Chen Anxiu threw himself forward on the bed, hugged the pillow and gritted his teeth, "Don't go, I'll go with his surname again." This little bastard. β
Zhang Anxiu? Zhang Shinian said that he didn't mind at all. But now he doesn't want to provoke this stupid father who was abandoned by his son, he is in his thirties, and he is still competing with his younger son.
The pajamas were already fat, Chen Anxiu fluttered, and when the shirt was folded up, most of the waist was naturally exposed.
Zhang Shinian's hands itched to reach out to pick, Chen Anxiu was afraid of itching and stretched out his legs to kick him, the bed was too easy to get into an accident, and the intimate little love between husband and wife quickly evolved into a more intense sport. This time, because they didn't have to worry about sleeping next to them, the two of them did it with some ferocity. Most of the hour passed quickly, and in a drowsy state, Chen Anxiu always felt that there was one more thing to do, but his mind quickly sank in Zhang Shinian's fierce confrontation.
On the other side, Mao Mao looked at the door for the third time, and saw that no one really came to pick him up this time, he was not happy, he wanted to find his father.
The old man also saw that he was sleepy, so he carried him to the bedside, put shoes on him, and prepared to send him back.
Taking the lead and running in front, he ran to his father's door and banged on the door, "Dad, Dad......"
The war was raging in the room, Chen Anxiu's leg was on Zhang Shinian's shoulder, and the place where the two were connected was already wet, and when Zhang Shinian pulled out and pushed in again, the door was pushed open from the outside with a click.
Chen Anxiu obviously heard the movement this time, his body stiffened, and he snorted sullenly.
Then came the sound of crackling footsteps, and he ran to the side of the bed, and at the same time opened his mouth and shouted, "Daddy, Daddy......"
Zhang Shinian reacted quickly after regaining his senses, he couldn't get out for the time being, and stretched out his hand to pull the quilt that kicked down next to him over to cover the bodies of the two who were still connected.
The old man didn't enter the door, he said outside to take care of the child, and helped pull the door open and left. The old man was old, and his ears were not very sensitive, but he was still a long way from the old fool, and when he knocked on the door and the two did not answer, he probably guessed what the two were doing inside. He wanted to send Mao Mao back later, but Mao Mao tiptoed and pulled the doorknob and pushed the door open.
The people outside are gone, and this is what is happening inside the house.
"Daddy, Daddy......" This is the Mao Mao standing on the edge of the bed shouting someone.
"Get out of here. At this time, Chen Anxiu below was in the age of pushing.
"You relax. At this time, the above chapter was appeasing Chen Anxiu.
The son is standing on the side staring at you with two big eyes and curiously, who can relax? But he knows that if he doesn't relax, Zhang Shinian will not be able to come out. Chen Anxiu took a deep breath and stretched his body as much as he could.
Zhang Shinian also retreated little by little.
The two of them are in a hurry or not, others don't know, but he suddenly sees the two fathers lying on the bed and talking and ignores himself, he is anxious, he wants to go to bed, he sees that his father does not hug him, he grabs the quilt on the bed with his two paws, and he is about to climb up. He weighed forty pounds smaller, and most of the quilt hula was torn off by him, and he also fell and squatted, Zhang Shinian pressed the corner of the quilt that covered the lower half of the two people's bodies.
Mao Mao probably thought it was funny, he sat on the floor and laughed happily and went to pull his father's quilt.
The old man and the old lady had already packed up, and after sending them away, they turned off the lights, but they couldn't sleep for a while, and the old lady looked at the little bright light that leaked through the gap in the curtains, and said to the old man beside her, "They don't seem to have slept in that room." β
"Who let them mess with it today. "The little guy is so full of tricks.
The old lady laughed in the dark, as if remembering something, and sighed softly.
The old man patted her hands, "Don't think about the past, sleep." β
"Yes, go to sleep. 166 Reading Network
