Chen Aiguo took a chopstick and put the fish meat in Chen Chuan's rice bowl, he was still a little confused, thought about it and asked: "You said that your classmate asked you to go to his house to make up classes during the summer vacation?" ”

Chen Chuan swallowed the rice in his mouth, nodded and said, "That's right." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

This answer suddenly made Chen Aiguo a little unable to eat. He took out half of the unfinished crumpled cigarette from his coat pocket, struck a match and lit it silently, lost his chopsticks and stopped talking.

Chen Chuan was also a little uncomfortable. His chopsticks unconsciously poked in the rice bowl, poking out countless holes in a good piece of fish, and finally mixed it into the rice grains, all of which were crumbled into slag.

Li Qiuping opened her eyes in confusion and looked at Chen Chuan and then at Chen Aiguo, put down her rice bowl uneasily, and asked timidly: "You don't eat it, wow?" ”

This sentence woke up two men, an old man and a young man, Chen Aiguo snuffed out the cigarette butt that only left a small half and put it back in his pocket, slapped Chen Chuan's head with his hand, and glared and drank: "You are sleepwalking with your rice bowl?!" Hurry up and grill rice! Without saying a word, he poured vegetables into his son's bowl, and finally piled them up into a small hill.

Chen Chuan has long been accustomed to his Lao Tzu's slap from time to time, but Li Qiuping looked at Chen Aiguo with some trepidation, and then looked at Chen Chuan, and only after a long time did he purse his lips and say, "Don't hit, don't hit Chen Chuan's brain...... Hit the dumb ......."

Chen Aiguo immediately said: "If you don't fight, you won't fight." Then he put chicken legs in his wife's bowl, "You eat this." ”

For dinner, this man in his forties is the busiest.

After dinner, Chen Aiguo helped his wife to take a bath, and when he saw that she was asleep, he checked the mosquito coils and mosquito nets, and carefully stepped down the creaking stairs - Chen Chuan said that he still had to do his homework, and his house was too stuffy, so he stayed in the hall.

Chen Aiguo stood behind his son for a while—the movement when he went downstairs did not alarm Chen Chuan, and he put all his attention into the endless sea of questions. When the boy was smoking a long strip, he was so thin that he was almost out of shape, and the butterfly bones were high on the edge of the thin shirt, and a small bulge was on the top. His hair was freshly cut, and a few strands of hair on the top of his head stood stubbornly and fell down in obedience.

Softly walked to the opposite side of his son and picked up a bench and sat down, Chen Aiguo swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but take a cigarette out to smoke. He heard that the third year of high school was the most important, and he heard that smoke was not good for children's eyes, and now in addition to being upset, Chen Aiguo rarely smoked in front of Chen Chuan.

He took a large tea jar and lowered his head to drink tea in one sip after another. The cool old shade tea quenched the heat and quenched his thirst, but unfortunately it couldn't quench his heart.

Chen Chuan finished a set of questions in one breath, and only then did he have time to stand up and stretch his joints that seemed to be rusted to death, but as soon as he looked up, he saw his father sitting opposite, and was startled: "Dad, when did you come?" ”

"You're doing a question, so I didn't call you." Chen Aiguo slowly said to Chen Chuan: "I see that you have more papers this time than before?" He tentatively found a topic to talk about.

"It's about to be the third year of high school, and I need more homework." Chen Chuan replied to his father, he was also a little entangled in his heart, lest Chen Aiguo be unhappy, so he was extra careful: "Dad, my classmate called me to tutor together." ”

Chen Aiguo pondered for a while and asked, "What about tutoring in your school?" ”

"No, the school started tutoring fifteen days before the start of school, and this tutoring was found for him by his classmates' families." Chen Chuan blushed, and he felt ashamed—this was the part that could be exposed in front of his father: "My classmates shouted that I must come." ”

Chen Aiguo smashed his tea, and he had nothing to say on this issue. In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with his son, and if he really wants to say it, it is that his parents are incompetent and drag their children back. He felt shameless in the face of his son, and with some anger that he couldn't appeal to—he spoke dryly, which sounded like anger: "He told you that you must go?" ”

"Not really." Chen Chuan stammered and said - he grew up under Chen Aiguo's slap since he was a child, and his fear of his father was engraved in his bones, and when he saw Chen Aiguo as if he was about to get angry, he panicked: "I, it's okay if I don't go, and I don't have to go......" The last sentence was almost inaudible.

There was silence between father and son for a while, Chen Aiguo took out the little remaining cigarette butt from his pocket, he lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and exhaled a long puff of smoke, feeling bitter, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Your classmate called you to go, I see that you want to go too, go to another house, it's better to live." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly got up and went upstairs, leaving Chen Chuan, who was still in a daze, alone in the hall.

Chen Chuan didn't stay at home for a few days. Strictly speaking, on the third day, he took the car back to the city, bringing a large schoolbag of dry goods -- Chen Aiguo was afraid that Chen Chuan would cause trouble to the Song family, so he stuffed more than a dozen sausages and bacon and a large bag of dried bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms, and he couldn't wait to rummage through the family's inventory and bring them all to Chen Chuan -- Song Jia went to the station to pick him up in advance and was startled when he saw it.

"What are you bringing so much stuff for?" Song Jia circled around the extraordinarily full schoolbag, and was surprised: "It's so heavy, I don't know how you carried it!" ”

"It's just that it looks like a lot, but it's not much." Chen Chuan smirked, "My father said that it would trouble my uncle and aunt during the summer vacation, and our family can't get any good things, they are all from the countryside, so let's give my uncle and aunt a fresh meal." ”

Song Jia looked at him and finally swallowed a sigh back into his stomach.

Chen Chuan originally said that he would take the bus to Song's house, but since Song Jia was there, he waved his hand, "So many things!" It's too much trouble! Then he took a taxi in a chic manner, Chen Chuan was already familiar with his posture to the point of numbness, and the weather was hot, you had to let him insist on taking the bus, Chen Chuan felt that he had not been hypocritical enough to do that.

When they arrived at Song's house, the two of them had just walked out of the elevator with their things when they heard Fang Ping's loud voice: "They seem to have arrived!" Then I saw a figure rushing over in a rage and almost hit Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan was startled, but immediately became happy: "Why are you here!?" He helped Fang Ping to stand up, looking at the other party and laughing, this appearance made Song Jia roll his eyes countless times, muttering that it looked so stupid.

"I came here with Zhao Mo." Fang Ping consciously helped Chen Chuan carry a bag, and immediately was speechless about the weight in his hand, and while walking to the door of Song's house with great difficulty, he explained to Chen Chuan: "Didn't you say that we would make up classes together, Zhao Mo's house and I are too far away from here." It just so happened that my parents were going on a business trip this month, and Zhao Mo and the adults in their family seemed to have something to do, so they discussed with Uncle Song to let us live here. ”

Song Jia, who was walking behind, rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Tell me!" He muttered a whining voice: "I don't know at all! I'm shocked to see you here! ”

Fang Ping grinned: "What is there to say!" He waved his hand arrogantly, almost dropped the bag in his hand, and hurriedly let go of his hand and lifted it: "Zhao Mo is packing his luggage inside, you see," he pushed open the door, changed his slippers at the door, and walked in more comfortably than Song Jia.

The four teenagers soon got together giggling - Song Chu and his wife hadn't gotten off work yet, and the four of them were like uncontrolled wild boys, enjoying themselves as they pleased—like a half-empty beer can on the coffee table. Fortunately, a few people didn't really plan to let go of themselves, and after everyone enjoyed the unique bitter aroma of beer, Zhao thought it was best for them to find some tea to make tea.

"Actually, I didn't think you would come." After sending Song Jia and Fang Ping to make tea, Zhao Mo looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Because I think you may not be willing to cause trouble to others." ”

Chen Chuan was stunned, and found that even though he knew Zhao Mo's temperament well, he was still stabbed by this friend who had always been keen. He ordered himself to tug the muscles on his cheeks and put on a laughing expression: "No." Probably realizing that this answer was too perfunctory, Chen Chuan added: "I don't want to joke with my future. ”

"Originally, if you didn't plan to come, a few of us discussed going to your house to find you." Zhao Mo put his forearms together and leaned against the railing of the balcony, squinting at the city with mountains stretching into the distance, "But I don't think you should be so stupid." ”

"Actually, I can't think of it." After being silent for a while, Chen Chuan chose to tell the truth to this friend who had a somewhat weird temper but was a good person in his bones: "You are right, it is indeed quite disturbing, and it is ......" He pressed the remaining half of the sentence under the tip of his tongue.

Zhao Mo glanced at him silently, didn't say anything more, and turned around and went back to the living room.

When four energetic boys in the middle of puberty get together, what can make them completely settled? There is only one answer: endless exercises and the approaching senior year of high school.

Strictly speaking, it's the college entrance examination.

After Song Chu and his wife proposed to leave work early to pick up the wind for their four children, Li Xia originally said that she would take the children to a restaurant outside for dinner, but was stopped by Song Chu. His exact words were: "They come here to study, not to enjoy." ”

Because of this sentence, Li Xia had to buy vegetables and worked hard to clean up the soup and water at home, seven plates, eight dishes and a large table, and Chen Chuan, the only one who could provide Li Xia with effective support in this process, was unanimously praised by everyone.

After eating, Song Chu called a few boys to the study, and the four of them walked in with nervous faces, even Zhao Mo was not as calm as usual - Song Chu was really a standard strict father, silent and serious, although everyone could see that he actually cared for the children, but it was true that there was a huge difference between smiling and not smiling.

Li Xia thoughtfully closed the door and left after bringing drinks and tea to the eldest and fourth children, and now it is the time for men and boys to talk.

"In the last summer vacation of the third year of high school, the school has to make up classes, but the family also found a tutor, in fact, you are not very happy, right?" This was the first thing Song Chu said.
