Chapter 11: Stepmother
The man's appearance is very gentle and handsome, wearing a well-cut suit, white and slender fingers, and a beautiful shape. is like a gentleman who comes out of a famous painting, which is enough to make a woman's heart flutter and jump.
"Hong Gradual, what's wrong?" Behind him came a friend's question.
"It's nothing, I saw a child." The man smiled at Meng Liangren, "Hello." ”
Meng Liangren glanced at him and didn't think much about it. He nodded hurriedly and walked away.
Back in the hall, a stage was set up on the opposite side, the troupe was babbling, and the children were playing in the back hall, which was very lively.
Mrs. Zhou sat on the upper seat, talking and laughing with her children, she had a rough life, and when she reached old age, she could finally enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren.
It was bustling when suddenly there was the sound of broken cups in the back hall, and the screams of the maid.
Mrs. Zhou was about to stand up with her daughter: "What's the matter?" ”
The eldest son hurriedly said: "You always sit, I'll go and see, the big deal is that the child broke the cup or something." ”
The cry of the little girl and the busy conversation of the maid sounded in the back hall again, and Mrs. Zhou said, "No, I'll go and see." ”
So a group of people followed to the back hall to look, only to see a little girl standing on the side and crying, and two little boys rolling on the ground and fighting.
Mrs. Zhou took a closer look, wasn't the one on the ground her precious great-grandson?
The parent hurriedly went up and grabbed the other and said, "What are you doing!" Grandma Zhou's birthday, you are also messing around! ”
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly went over and pulled Meng Jun to take a look, but she didn't suffer any loss, she just rolled around, her clothes were wrinkled, her hair was like a straw, her face was full of tears, and she looked so miserable.
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly hugged and said, "Ouch baby Junjun, what's wrong?" Why are you crying? ”
Meng Jun cried so much that he hiccuped: "Outside...... Grandmother ......"
It's not a big deal for children to fight, and the eldest son is quiet: "It's okay, children are naughty, let's eat and drink in front." ”
The guests gradually went back to the show.
Mrs. Zhou asked the maid to hold Meng Jun and take her to the wing, wiped her face clean, took off her little coat, and asked softly: "Junjun, how can you fight with children, grandmother sees that you are usually the most well-behaved." ”
Meng Jun was still in tears and choked up: "I'm my father's child...... I'm not a bad woman with someone else......"
Old Madam Zhou's expression suddenly became fierce, and she raised her head and asked the people around her: "Who sued him for such things?" ”
Everyone was at a loss, and the maid said, "A few young masters and young ladies are playing together, so I didn't follow closely, I don't know what to say." ”
Old Madam Zhou held Meng Jun's face and asked with a stern expression: "Junjun, little manly men are not allowed to cry." The thin fingers wiped his tears for him, "You told your great-grandmother, who told you this?" ”
Meng Jun whispered, "My little uncle and I secretly heard it." ”
"You and the little uncle? Where did you hear that? ”
"Leaf ...... Aunt Ye came to play at home, and we heard ...... outside the door"
Asked this, Old Madam Zhou finally sank her face and said, "Go and call Meng Zhe." ”
When Meng Zhe came, Meng Jun was already tired of crying and was taken down to sleep, Mrs. Zhou sat alone in the room and closed her eyes to recuperate, and he shouted: "Grandma." ”
The old lady opened her eyes, looked at him, sighed and said, "You don't have a mother, have you ever thought about sending him to me to raise?" ”
Meng Zhe said: "This is an old thing, why bother mentioning it again." ”
The old lady said, "But he is about to have a stepmother." ”
Meng Zhe said: "I won't let Ye Chan affect my family." ”
The old lady looked at him with a complicated expression: "You kid, you can manage so many properties of the Meng family, but can you manage every word and deed of the family?" That Ye Chan, before she passed the door, began to doubt Junjun's life. Women, they are all sweet-mouthed and bitter, if you can't choose a good one, the people around you will be hurt. ”
Meng Jun was silent for a long time, and then said, "It's my fault that makes my grandmother worried." ”
Old Madam Zhou closed her eyes and said, "That's what I've said, you and the people of the Ye family, let's discuss it well." ”
No one else knew about the conversation between the two. Meng Liangren sat in the corner of the banquet, and when the two children were fighting, he also followed him to watch, Meng Jun was crying profusely, surrounded by a group of people led by Mrs. Zhou, and his fingers couldn't be inserted.
He also sat back in his seat, and the Shengdan on the stage was not moved by the audience, and still sang with his water sleeves.
After the banquet was dispersed, Meng Xuan got into the car with him to go back to Meng's house, Meng Jun had to stay for a few more days, and Meng Zhe also stayed.
Meng Xuan hummed a song, pinned his hair behind his ear, and glanced at Meng Liangren: "Why grandma has a big birthday, you both look like this." ”
Meng Liangren said, "The two of us? ”
Meng Xuan said: "And my brother, when he came out of his grandmother, his face was gloomy. ”
Thinking of Meng Jun fighting with others for no reason, Meng Liangren guessed five or six points, and only asked: "Sister, you went out for a while just now, where did you go?" ”
Meng Xuan was stunned, she didn't talk much to this younger brother, and she didn't kiss her heart, but she heard "sister" in her ears, and she couldn't help but move in her heart, and said, "Where do I want to report to you?" Just chatting with a few friends. ”
Meng Liangren raised his eyebrows: "Really? ”
Meng Xuan was seen by him for no reason, and changed his posture and said: "What kind of steamed and boiled, why am I lying to you." ”
Meng Liangren didn't ask any more questions, and the car fell silent again.
Meng Xuan thought angrily: They are all younger brothers, and Ah Xu is much more likable.
Hum.
As soon as Mrs. Zhou's birthday passed, it gradually began to fall, and the fifteenth of next month was Meng Jun's birthday.
The old housekeeper went to buy a cat cake, and the kitchen made a bowl of longevity noodles, added two golden poached eggs, and put them on the table at dinner.
The gifts of the Zhou family were also sent, and Mrs. Zhou personally chose them, dressed in a children's Tang costume, with a hat and cloth shoes, but Meng Jun refused to change them, threw himself on the bed and said, "I don't wear them, red clothes are worn by girls." ”
The servants couldn't do anything about him, so they had to put it away carefully.
When Meng Liangren came home from class, he saw the paintings hanging on the wall of the living room at a glance.
A large expanse of delicate tulips, Meng Xu is allergic to this kind of pollen, but he paints the most.
Meng Liangren watched it for a long time.
Meng Jun came down from upstairs, ran to Meng Liangren's side, looked up and said, "Little uncle, do you like this painting?" ”
Meng Liangren smiled: "I like it." ”
Meng Jun let out an "oh" and held his palms with both hands.
Ye Hui transferred to the high school of the city's No. 1 Middle School, and suddenly became the topic of restless teenagers. I don't care about these topics, I get out of school every day, leaning on the railing outside Meng Liangren's classroom and waiting for him, for a while, the usually shy and shy girls came to Meng Liangren and stuffed a love letter into his hand - to hand it over on his behalf.
Pan Tao was indignant about this, slapped the table and said to Meng Liang: "The same is a bubble girl, and we are all people with stories!" ”
It's a pity that Pan Dashao is more cowardly than Meng Liangren in front of Ye Hui, saying that he never serves dim sum when he pours tea, he reads late, and is the same age as Ye Hui, but he is a big gap in his studies.
However, everyone has their own ambitions, and he has made a group of friends, all walks of life, and he has the style of Pan's father.
In the final exam, Meng Liangren got a barely medium ranking, Ye Hui was in the top ten in the grade, Pan Tao didn't say anything, and he was beaten by Pan's father when he took the report card back.
The winter vacation was finally a little easier, Ye Hui often went out for physical inconvenience, Pan Tao took Meng Liangren around eating, drinking and having fun, and sometimes brought the girls around him, which was the one in the entertainment club.
The girl's name is Xue Can, she is also an art student of No. 2 Middle School, sixteen years old, with a good figure, bold and direct, she makes no secret of her love for expensive bags and clothes, and the tattoos on her nails are painted one pattern a day.
Pan Tao likes her like this, and accompanies her to visit high-end shopping malls when she has nothing to do.
On this day, Xue Can was going to a Western restaurant to eat lobster, and Pan Tao remembered that Meng Liangren liked to eat, so he called him over.
The lobster tasted good, Meng Liangren concentrated on eating shrimp, and Pan Tao and Xue Canqing on the opposite side were very satisfied.
When it was time to pay the bill, Pan Tao said, "Baby, your lipstick is sticky." ”
"Really?" Xue Can took out a small mirror and looked at it, and got up, "Then I'll go to the bathroom, you wait." ”
"Okay, let's go." Pan Tao smiled and watched her go away, and immediately turned his head and grabbed Meng Liangren's hand, "Brother, help, I went out to change my clothes and left my wallet." ”
Meng Liangren wiped his mouth and said, "Okay." As he spoke, he dug into his pockets and took out a hundred, a fifty.
…… Nope.
Pan Tao said frantically: "This fraction is not enough!" What about cards? ”
Meng Liangren said: "I'm not used to carrying a card when I go out. ”
Pan Tao pointed to the cups and plates on the table and said sadly: "Look at the shrimp shells you eat!" Are you embarrassed that you don't have any money for food? ”
Meng Liangren looked at the lobster shells piled up in front of him, and said in a calm tone, "Didn't you invite?" ”
Pan Tao almost pounded the table.
Seeing that he was about to face Xue Can's ridicule of "Pan Shao went out to pick up girls without money", the waiter came over and said, "Good two, a total of 1,231 yuan." ”
Pan Tao said, "Ah, you wait for me to make a call......
The waiter smiled and said, "No need, just now a gentleman paid the bill for the two of them and has already left." ”
"What?"
Meng Liang and Pan Tao were stunned, and turned around to search, but they couldn't find it for a long time.
