Chapter 46: Listen to your mother
Tang Chen locked the door and went out, what he was going to find now was the best partner in the village who played with him, his name was Tang Li. Tang Li is less than a month older than Tang Chen, and the adults of the two families have a good relationship, so the two of them really grew up together in open crotch pants since childhood.
In their previous lives, they had always maintained a good relationship until Tang Chen's rebirth, and every year when they went home for the New Year, the friends in the village would get together to eat a few meals. Because Tang Li stayed one level, he is still in the sixth grade and has not been promoted to junior high school with Tang Chen.
Tang Chen came to Tang Li's house and saw that the door of his house was also closed. But Tang Chen knew that he should be at home, because it was already out of school at this point, and he should be playing games in the room. It's the kind of little overlord game console, inserted into the card, called the learning machine, these are all nonsense. When I bought it, I said that I bought it to learn, but I never used it to learn, I used it to play games.
Tang Chen also has one, and almost everyone in the village has one. There are also a lot of game cards, all of which are borrowed from each other to play. The most classic ones are Contra, Tank Battles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Double Dragons, etc.
Tang Chen often plays with Tang Li and the two, after all, the game is only interesting if two people play it! The two of them either you come to my house or I go to your house to play, sometimes they sleep directly in each other's house, and of course they fight all night at night.
Tang Chen thought about the matter between them, and couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart, his childhood friend was really an irreplaceable emotion. Tang Chen called the door outside, and after a while, a somewhat handsome boy opened the door, and when he saw Tang Chen outside, he couldn't help but say happily: "Tang Chen, are you on vacation?"
"yes, that's why I'm going to play with you right away. Tang Chen replied with a smile. For being in front of his friends, he doesn't mind pretending to be a child.
"Of course, if you don't come, I'll look for you later." Come in, I just got stuck in a level and couldn't play alone. Now that you're here, you'll be able to get by, and you must play that game today!" Tang Li pulled Tang Chen into the room.
The two went to Tang Li's room and fought until dark, and they didn't come out until his mother came to ask Tang Li to go out to eat.
"Aunt Xiu~" Tang Chen came out and saw Tang Li's mother shouting.
"Oh, it turns out that Tang Chen is also here, you guys have a holiday today, stay and eat together!" Tang Li's mother said with a smile.
"Thank you, Aunt Xiu, but it's better for me to go home and eat when I just went home today, and I will definitely eat at your house next time." It's late, I'll go home first, goodbye, Auntie!" After saying that, he ran out.
"Hey, why is this kid running so fast..."
…
When Tang Chen returned home, he found that the house was already brightly lit. Hearing the sound of stir-frying in the kitchen, Tang Chen ran in, and sure enough, it was Jiang Lan who was stir-frying, he shouted: "Mom, what kind of food is stir-frying, it's so fragrant!"
"Do you still know that you're back? I haven't seen anyone at this late hour, did you go to Tang Li's house to play games with him? If you don't come back, I'm going to call you!" Jiang Lan turned to look at Tang Chen and said.
"Hey, hey, green pepper shredded pork! I like to eat it. Mom, hurry up, I'm starving. Tang Chen didn't answer Jiang Lan, just smiled and ran away.
When he came to the living room, Tang Yuanqun was watching the news broadcast, and he was still swallowing melon seeds in his mouth.
"Dad, why did you buy milk melon seeds instead of spiced melon seeds?" Tang Chen said after glancing at the plastic bag on the table. But after all, the movements of the hands are not slow, and I grabbed a handful with one hand and swallowed.
"It's good to have something for you to eat, but it's still too bad to be suspicious! Tell me, how does junior high school life feel?" Tang Yuanqun looked at Tang Chen and said.
"It's not like that, but I'm getting used to it. Tang Chen swallowed the melon seeds with a relaxed expression.
"Really, fake, bragging, right?" Tang Yuanqun didn't believe it.
"Is this kind of thing to brag? By the way, has anyone called you these days who is very strange?" Tang Chen was not very relieved about the Taiwan side, and wanted to ask about Tang Yuanqun's situation.
"No, why are you asking this?" Tang Yuanqun asked a little strangely.
"It's nothing, it's just to see if you've been harassed by some scam calls, haven't the news been on the air lately!" Tang Chen casually found an excuse, and it was indeed broadcast on TV.
At this time, Jiang Lan came over with a plate of dishes and said, "Let's go wash our hands and get ready to eat, come over Chenchen to help me bring out a bowl of soup." ”
"Okay!" Tang Chen went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and came out with a bowl of pork rib soup, it seemed that it was specially cooked for Tang Chen to come back tonight.
Tang Chen quickly served his dinner, and was ready to sit down and eat. Because he was indeed a little hungry, and Jiang Lan's cooking had always been his favorite, he was about to drool when he smelled the fragrance.
However, just as Tang Chen sat down and reached out to pick up the vegetables, he saw Jiang Lan, who was about to stand up to serve the meal, and his temples seemed to show a few strands of white hair. Tang Chen's eyes suddenly became sour, and tears almost burst out of the frame. His parents worked tirelessly for more than ten years so that their two siblings could go to school. They were only about forty years old, and they had already grown gray hair!
Tang Chen hurriedly put down his dishes and chopsticks, stopped Jiang Lan, who was about to get up, and said, "Mom, you sit, you used to help me serve rice, and in the future, when I'm at home, I'll help you and my father serve dinner!"
After Tang Chen finished speaking, he took her bowl from Jiang Lan's hand, and took the bowl in front of Tang Yuanqun in his hand by the way. I walked to the side of the pressure cooker and came back with two bowls of rice and put them in front of Jiang Lan and Tang Yuanqun.
Finding that the two of them were staring at him with an unfamiliar look, Tang Chen was a little speechless, it seemed that the impression he had left on them before was really bad.
"What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that, it's cold if you don't eat anymore. After speaking, Tang Chen took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and started with relish.
Tang Yuanqun and Jiang Lan looked at each other at this time, both showing puzzled expressions. You must know that Tang Chen had never helped them serve a meal before, it was all Jiang Lan who had helped him serve it in advance. Not to mention that Tang Chen also popped out of his mouth, "In the future, I will be at home, and I will serve your food". Such a mature and sensible sentence actually came out of the mouth of Tang Chen, a "lazy" guy, as if he had grown up overnight, could they not be surprised?
However, they were only puzzled for a moment, and explained Tang Chen's behavior today because he was in junior high school, so he was more sensible than before.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and they planned to eat first and discuss Tang Chen's problem when they went to bed at night. Because they felt that Tang Chen's performance from the day he signed up to the present, some of his expressions were indeed a little strange.
Tang Chen was relieved to see that the two of them finally stopped staring at him. He was glad that his parents weren't the kind of people who got to the bottom of it. Now that I think about it, I was really too ignorant in my previous life! That's why my parents broke their hearts for themselves.
Do it all over again now, I will definitely let you live a good life! This qiē starts with the little matter of me helping you serve rice!" Tang Chen thought secretly in his heart.
"Here, eat a piece of ribs, this piece of meat is a lot. The school food is definitely not as delicious as at home, so eat more to replenish your body. Jiang Lan sandwiched a piece of pork ribs with the most lean meat and put it into Tang Chen's bowl, and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mom!" Tang Chen did not refuse, because this was a piece of his mother's heart. In his mind, he suddenly remembered the children's song "Only mothers are good in the world, and children with mothers are like treasures", a nursery rhyme that he had heard since he was a child, and the tears that had been suppressed not long ago welled up again.
Tang Chen hurriedly lowered his head and took a few bites of rice fiercely, taking the opportunity to hide his gaffe. Then he swept his eyes with his sleeve and wiped the tears that were about to flow without a trace.
Raising his head, he took another piece of loofah and stuffed it into his mouth, and the familiar taste lingered in Tang Chen's mouth. Looking at this table of dishes, they are all my favorite food. Even this big bowl of pork rib soup is specially stewed for yourself.
Eating this table of familiar ordinary home-cooked food, Tang Chen felt an incomparably happy feeling in his heart. This feeling is the same as when he went to college in his previous life and came back from vacation to eat Jiang Lan's dishes again. No, I should say that it was even stronger than it was then.
After all, Tang Chen's body was inhabited by a twenty-three-year-old soul, and after being tempered in later generations, Tang Chen knew better than anyone the value of family affection. Home will always be your warmest harbor, and your parents will always be your strongest backing!
In his previous life, whether Tang Chen went to junior high school, high school, or college or even later internships. As long as Tang Chen came back every time, Jiang Lan would cook a table of such dishes for Tang Chen. It spans nearly ten years and has never changed. This is his mother, an ordinary woman who always puts him first in her heart.
is such an ordinary woman, but Tang Chen in his previous life never thought about his mother's kindness to him. He always felt that she was his mother, and he should do everything for himself. At that time, Tang Chen was so ignorant, and there were even a few incidents where he made Jiang Lan cry.
Tang Chen now thinks about it and wants to give himself a slap in the face, because he was so hateful at that time! At this time, Tang Chen remembered the song "Listen to Mother" that Zhou Xiaolun will release next year:
Mom's hard work won't let you see
Warm recipes in her heart
……
Shake her hand when you have time
Holding hands and sleepwalking together
……
Listen to your mother and don't let her get hurt
I want to grow up quickly to protect her
Beautiful gray hair sprouts in bliss
Angelic magic is warm and kind
Mom, in this life, I will definitely listen to you, no longer make you angry, no longer make you sad, and no longer let you cāo heart for me!
In this life, I want to be the big tree behind you, sheltering you from the wind and rain! Let you be happy and healthy!
At this time, Tang Chen's grand wish at this moment!
