"Xiaoyu, have you finished the homework I assigned? Bring me my bag and check it out. As soon as I entered the house, I heard my mother's voice, tepid and a little stern.

"Oh." Xiaoyu agreed hesitantly.

The large banyan tree in the patio outside the south window, its lush foliage obscuring most of the window, the sunlight jumping in through the gaps in the leaves, flashing cheerful shadows on the light green curtain.

Shao Lanyin sat on the edge of the dining table at the window, her jet-black hair was permed with faint waves hanging under her ears, her skin was fair, and her eyes were as bright and clear as autumn water, still revealing a little uneasiness and melancholy.

Thinking of those days in the hospital, Xiaoyu's heart softened, and she hurriedly said: Mom, it's done, I'll give it to you in the house. ”

The homework book is clean and tidy, and the handwriting is neatly written, Shao Lanyin browsed it and nodded slightly, "Well, the handwriting is very progressive." ”

The corners of Xiaoyu's mouth curled, thinking to herself, the brush writing once a day is not practiced in vain, and there will always be progress.

"Really? I'll take a look. Chen Wenbin stood at the door smoking, turned around and smiled when he heard it, took Chen Xiaoyu's homework book, and flipped through it, "Well, it's a good writing, and it's better than last time." He patted Xiaoyu's head, "That's good." ”

Chen Wenhui happened to come in, and also looked at Xiaoyu's homework book, raised his eyebrows, and said with an exaggerated smile, "Ah, this is Xiaoyu's handwriting, it's really beautiful, Shibei should be impressed for three days, it seems that Deng"

Chen Xiaoyu frowned, immediately gave him a look, and stopped the conversation, "Little uncle, grandma called you, hurry up and go to the kitchen to serve rice, grandma is looking for you." ”

Shao Lanyin looked at them suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiaoyu hurriedly shook her hand, "No, no, it's just that grandma wants to ask Uncle Xiao about it." ”

When I came back from the vegetable farm, I originally wanted to come back to report to Chen Wenhui, but I didn't expect that I was dragged by my parents to check my homework.

"What is grandma looking for me?" Chen Wenhui approached her and asked quietly, he just saw his grandmother coming back from shopping for vegetables with a face that he didn't return, and directly turned the vegetable basket into the kitchen, and didn't come out for a long time.

"It's not a good thing anyway." In front of her parents, Xiaoyu couldn't say it clearly. He lowered his voice and winked.

Chen Wenhui pursed the corners of his mouth, made a wry smile, put down the toiletries in his hand, and prepared to go to the kitchen, not forgetting to praise her as he walked, "It's still my niece who is smart, this word is awesome." ”

Shao Lanyin frowned and stared at Chen Wenhui's back, and shook her head, "What's wrong with Wenhui?" ”

"He's not idle. Leave him alone. ”

Shao Lanyin snorted lowly, "I don't care, what does it have to do with me." ”

She opened the homework book and checked it carefully, and said to Xiaoyu while checking, "Xiaoyu, it is not enough to write well, the main thing about taking the exam is the accuracy rate, if you do it wrong, you can only get zero points, and it is useless to write well." Do you understand? However, if the words are not good, they will also be deducted points, do you understand?"

Chen Wenbin frowned slightly, lowered his head and continued to read the newspaper, and said casually, "If you say this, the child will be confused." ”

Shao Lanyin slammed the homework book in her hand on the table, and immediately sank her face, "Chen Wenbin, what do you mean by this?" How am I contradicting myself? I'm not suing her, of course, it's a word, and it's indispensable. ”

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise, that's what I said, don't get me wrong." Chen Wenbin hurriedly explained.

"Did I misunderstand? Didn't you say that I was confusing the child? Xiaoyu, look, are you confused? Shao Lanyin turned her head and glared at Xiaoyu angrily, "You say, you say." ”

"Nope." Xiaoyu shook her head, "What my mother said means is that it is necessary to be both correct and clear, so that the teacher will not be mistaken." No points will be deducted. ”

"yes, that's what it means." Shao Lanyin glanced at Chen Wenbin fiercely, and a victorious smile appeared on her face, as if to say, "Look, my daughter listens to me." ”

Chen Wenbin smiled good-naturedly, "Yes, Xiaoyu's comprehension is good. ”

Xiaoyu kept her head down and kept looking at her homework book, pretending not to hear the conversation between her parents, and she felt faintly worried.

Is it because of my mother's temper that changed dramatically after this illness, or has she always been like this before?

If according to her father's words, her poor final exam results can cause her hysterical outburst, you can imagine how depressed her heart is, and how much she will collapse on herself.

There was plenty of light and shadow in the room, the hour hand was ticking, Xiaoyu's mind was heavy, and she didn't say anything for a while.

"Mom, can you listen to me finish speaking?" Chen Wenhui's eager cry suddenly came from the kitchen on the other side of the patio.

Then there was the sound of ping-pong, as if the pots and pans had been smashed to the ground.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Chen Wenhui's voice was helpless and anxious.

Chen Wenbin and Shao Lanyin stood up at the same time and looked at each other in surprise.

"I'll take a look." Chen Wenbin said and went out with his feet, but Shao Lanyin walked to the door but stopped, hesitated for a while, sighed lowly, and said to himself: "None of them are worry-free." ”

It's not bad at all, it's not worry-free, including your parents.

Xiaoyu said in her heart.

In summer, the weather is hot, and the doors and windows of each household are open, and Chen Wenhui's voice can hear other people's homes clearly.

The surrounding neighbors probed their brains one after another.

"What's wrong, this is?"

"Wen Hui quarreled?"

"Wen Hui, this kid, is really ignorant."

Xiaoyu knew that her grandmother wanted face the most, and she suffered this idleness for no reason in the vegetable market, not noisy, not arguing, nothing more than feeling that in front of the public, noisy and embarrassing.

Even Xiao Yuling argued with reason and put the truth of right and wrong on the table. But the old lady was still very angry.

When I got home, I went to the kitchen without entering the door, and even asked Chen Wenhui to ask Xiaoyu to pass on it, because I didn't want to make the matter known to everyone in the family.

Even on Shao Lanyin's side, she can avoid it.

Grandma is timid and afraid, she is a housewife who came out of an old-fashioned family, she has experienced so many "movements", and when she encounters things, she is obedient to things, and it is an instinctive choice to protect herself.

But she is silent on the surface, but she can't let go of her heart, and she is very entangled, in front of outsiders, in front of her children, and even in front of her grandfather, she will not express her thoughts lightly.
