It is said that the current society pays attention to equality between men and women, but there are some things that cannot be equal at all.

For example, Cheng Siyi and Cheng Nianyi. My brother is eight years older than my sister, which is actually nothing, in Zhou Zhounuo's education model, right is right, wrong is wrong, and the big one will never be forced to let the small one, or the male one let the female one. If it's the sister's fault, the punishment is correct, and it's useless for the brother to help intercede, and at this point, the brother and sister have obtained absolute fairness.

But there are some subtle things that cannot be solved by reasoning.

For most of his son's childhood, Cheng Ziming's role as a father has always been missing, which led to Cheng Siyi being sharper than ordinary children from his heart, sensible and sensible, and losing his innocence prematurely, and even a few days when he was seven or eight years old and a dog was disgusted. For this reason, Zhou Zhou Nuo has always felt indebted to his son. She once apologized to him that if it weren't for her choice, he wouldn't have needed to go through such a childhood.

At that time, Cheng Siyi was only 5 years old, and he was already very considerate, he hugged his mother's face, took a bite, and said, It's not your fault.

Zhou Zhou Nuo was worried that his son would blame his father in his heart, so he defended Cheng Ziming.

Cheng Siyi held his mother's face and took another bite, he didn't care, my father loves me very much, he just doesn't have a holiday.

is different from Cheng Siyi's premature sensibility, Cheng Nianyi's growth path is obviously smoother. Although she is a girl, her education in all aspects has not been relaxed, but after all, her childhood is complete, and her father and brother are used to her intentionally or unintentionally, causing her personality to be more arrogant than her brother.

Zhou Zhou Nuo advised Cheng Ziming, don't spoil her just because she is a girl and your old girl, and girls should be disciplined well.

Cheng Ziming said that if I don't wear this hat, when did I not discipline her properly? My son's share is not right for me to be a father, if I miss it, I miss it, and I haven't been compensating for it later? Girl here, you can't be sloppy. Besides, why are you so old, are you in your early forties?!

Dad doesn't care about the girl who doesn't teach her mother, it's not my family Nianyi, it's Mo Xiaojing!

"Lao Cheng, what are you doing? I told you to come over and help, and make a phone call for a long time! Zhou Zhou Nuo frowned, muttering Cheng Ziming. The kitchen was filled with all sorts of fresh ingredients, and she was too busy to keep her feet on the floor. Siyi said that he was going to take his girlfriend home for dinner today, and he designated that he would entertain the guests with his mother's craftsmanship.

"Hmm, what about Nianyi?" Cheng Ziming put away his mobile phone and his face was calm.

"It's too early to go out, hurry up and help." Monday beckoned, cautious and nervous.

"What's the hurry, it's just a meal for five people. Isn't it just an ugly daughter-in-law, and it's not decided yet, so I see how excited you are. Rolling up his sleeves, Cheng Ziming took the potatoes and began to peel them.

"As far as your son's virtue is concerned, he doesn't want to marry anyone, so he will bring it home?" Zhou Zhou Nuo shook his head and looked at her husband uncertainly, "It's only a junior, isn't it early?" ”

Cheng Ziming trembled with laughter, she always said that she was not used to her son, but she unconsciously always treated him as a child, "I will be 22 soon, and the legal age of marriage will be reached." ”

Think about it, my son is so old, the days have passed in a flash, and she is also old.

Cheng Nianyi hummed a little song and entered the house, with headphones in his ears.

Cheng Ziming suddenly raised his eyes and leaned into his wife's ear, "I have something to do, you come by yourself, don't be nervous, you pick her, not her pick you." ”

"you!" Zhou Zhou Nuo turned around and threw him a roll of the eye.

After returning home, Zhou Zhou Nuo didn't make any other requests to Cheng Ziming, only said, you must not grow into a bear.

Once the high-intensity physical exercise is over, people are bound to gain weight quickly. Fortunately, Cheng Ziming belongs to the type of uncomfortable person who does not move, except for the weather, one five kilometers in the morning and evening, stationed in the gym for a long time, more than 50 people, and his figure is not lost to his son who is still in college.

The figure has not changed, and of course, the sharp eyes have not changed.

He knocked on the door, went into his daughter's room, and sat down directly on the chair. Cheng Nianyi stood facing him, with a smile on his face, "Old man, what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Ziming looked at her, this daughter with long hair and shawl, inherited Yinuo's characteristics of loving laughter, cheerful and optimistic, is his baby daughter, and his sun is shining.

Dad didn't respond as usual, Cheng Nianyi suddenly felt bad, she lowered her head slightly, her small eyes looked at her father secretly from bottom to top.

Cheng Ziming didn't move, didn't speak, just looked at his daughter quietly. She is in her second year of junior high school, which is the precursor stage of rebellious adolescence. Children at this age are the most incomprehensible to what is actually going on behind these hippie smiles.

Being stared at by Cheng Ziming's eyes, the fingertips of Cheng Nianyi's right hand kept rubbing his pants, and the kneading position was already wrinkled. From time to time, she looked up at her father, his eyes were not warm, but they were like a sword, as if they could split her at once. That kind of eyes that don't have any emotion and seem to penetrate everything are the things she fears the most. Dad hasn't been like this for a long time, every time she makes a mistake, he just stares at her like this, staring at her without saying a word, not beating or scolding, not moving, Ling Chi's eyes, silent punishment, the key is that it is useless to persuade anyone. Did he know anything? No, how could it be. Cheng Nianyi, who was weak-hearted, put his hands behind his back and kept wringing his fingers.

Looking at his daughter's dodging eyes, Cheng Ziming couldn't help but feel funny, but he didn't show anything on his face. She should already know why she came to her, such a shy, slightly shrunken little appearance, and her eyes rolled around, like a hare in the woods. There was a hint of cunning in her watery eyes, and an unnatural smile on her face was flattering, but it was a pity that she was not a hare, and she had nowhere to escape.

He had never hit a child, and all his children were the same. The biggest conflict with Cheng Siyi was just a fight. Just because Cheng Siyi encountered something unpleasant at school that time, he made a mistake again when he came home, and was nagged twice by Yinuonian, and yelled at his young and vigorous son, who was annoying to his mother and annoying. At that time, he was furious, yelled back at a louder volume, and resolutely pointed out that Cheng Siyi was wrong. Afterwards, he talked to his son, and he asked Cheng Siyi to think back to who the most difficult person in this family was over the years. The answer is undoubtedly Zhou Zhounuo, so he absolutely can't tolerate someone saying that she is not good at all, even if it is his own son.

And this time Nianyi's question is different. So he took a very different approach, a gentler, more eclectic approach.

Cheng Ziming can observe his daughter motionless for a long time, this is his interest, if he can, it is not impossible to watch for three or four hours, he enjoys this taste of observing prey. But Cheng Nianyi is different, she can't bear to be stared at by her father all the time, this feeling of sitting on pins and needles is too uncomfortable.

Finally, after an hour and 9 minutes, Cheng Nian burst into tears, tears streaming down his face in an instant.

Cheng Ziming glanced at the time, yes, there was an improvement from last time, she was only 8 years old last time, and she lasted for 27 minutes.

Without Cheng Ziming to speak, Cheng Nianyi explained everything by himself.

There was a boy in their class who often bullied her playmate, a little girl with a somewhat introverted personality. The bear child had gone too far two days ago and burned off a large piece of the girl's hair. Yesterday Saturday, Cheng Nianyi directly took five or six girls to the boy's house, tried to take away his parents, and beat him up.

"Dad, I was wrong, I will never do it again...... no one touched a single hair of her, but she cried so much that she shook the mountain, not at all like her mother. Really, Yinuo doesn't like to cry at all.

Cheng Ziming finally changed his expression, and the raised corners of his lips showed that he was not actually angry.

Crying breathlessly, Cheng Nianyi wiped her tears with one hand, admitting her mistake in her mouth, and tears still slipped down her cheeks.

"It's good that you can think of a way to break his parents apart." The silent father finally spoke, his voice hoarse and low, unable to hear joy or anger. Cheng Nianyi couldn't stop screaming and began to cry again.

"But how stupid are you to set the crime in someone else's house?" Cheng Ziming's smile became more obvious, "Have you forgotten what Dad taught you?" ”

"I'm not angry," Cheng Nianyi was still sobbing, his eyes were red from crying, "How can he burn people's hair, what if the fire can't be controlled and hurts people?" I have to teach him a lesson. ”

"It's okay to teach him a lesson, but plan carefully, wipe your ass clean, and I don't want to be called and questioned." Cheng Ziming raised his eyebrows, and was about to tell his daughter about the best way to deal with this matter.

Suddenly, there was a quick knock on the door, and Zhou Zhou Nuo shouted outside the door, "Hurry up, people are coming, hurry up for reinforcements!" ”

touched her daughter's white and tender cheeks, and gently sprinkled Cheng Ziming's face, "Okay, don't cry, let's see your future sister-in-law." ”

"Then you still blame me?" Cheng Nianyi blinked and grabbed his father's sleeve.

"Wait until your sister-in-law leaves, and then settle accounts with you!" Cheng Ziming shrugged his nose.

Ye Zhen didn't want to come to Cheng Siyi's house at first, she planned to take the postgraduate entrance examination, so she planned to use her spare time to review. couldn't bear Cheng Siyi's analysis of various pros and cons with her, and repeatedly said that his mother was not terrible at all. As long as he likes it, his mother will accept it. Besides, reading more or less books in a day is not decisive for the exam.

That being said, creatures like mother-in-law are relatively rebellious beings, so Ye Zhen didn't dare to take it lightly. After entering the door, his mother smiled and said hello, seemed a little nervous, and was embarrassed to stand aside, so he simply went to the kitchen. His dad didn't say much, and after meeting, he went to the kitchen, leaving only his sister, a little Lori who was still in junior high school, sitting on the side, her eyes drifting in the direction of the kitchen from time to time.

"Your sister doesn't seem to be happy." Ye Zhen whispered to Cheng Siyi.

"Well, don't mention it now, I'll ask her again in the evening." Cheng Siyi grabbed the melon on the table and handed it to his girlfriend.

Lunch was cosy and the meals were generous. Zhou Zhou Nuo didn't say much throughout the whole process, basically buried her head in eating, if Ye Zhen had eye contact with her, she would smile at the little girl. Ye Zhen found that she was nervous, and Cheng Siyi's mother seemed to be even more nervous.

People who have always been good at adjusting the atmosphere have such times when they are so intimidating. As the head of the family, Cheng Ziming naturally took on the responsibility of enlivening the topic and adjusted the meal to be very harmonious. After eating, Cheng Siyi and Ye Zhen washed the dishes together.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhou Zhou Nuo went back to the bedroom. Because of the nervous mood, I only cared about eating for a while, and my stomach was supporting, so I paced around the room.

Cheng Ziming entered the door with a glass of water, thinking that she was hesitating again.

"What's wrong? Still worried? Cheng Ziming took his wife's hand and gently rubbed her knuckles, he must have been tired after a morning of work.

"You say, will she not like me? Or are you scared of me? Zhou Zhou Nuo was stunned and let her husband hold her hand, frowning slightly.

"She's a daughter-in-law, what are you afraid of, and you haven't treated her well." Cheng Ziming's words were relaxed and indifferent.

Zhou Zhou Nuo herself does not have a real mother-in-law, Aunt Gu is far away, basically doesn't care about her, since she married Cheng Ziming, she has lived an anarchic and unorganized life. I have never been angry with my mother-in-law, and now that I am going to be a mother-in-law, I am afraid that I will be disliked.

Putting down the water glass, wrapping her in his arms with both hands, Cheng Ziming comforted him in a loud voice, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, we are all old, now it is their world, let them go." ”

Zhou Yinuo nodded, "yes, let them go." ”

I always think that people are getting older, just like the leaves of a tree always accumulate until autumn before falling. But sometimes, a moment can make people feel old. The interaction between the son and the girl's eyebrows at the dinner table reminded Cheng Ziming of the beginning of his acquaintance with Zhou Zhounuo, the two were at their best age, but they just took a picture. When they met again, the accumulation of fate contributed to such a love full of waiting. The woman in her arms guarded him for half his life with her independence and optimism, weaving such a home for him and raising well-behaved and sensible children.

Such a woman, he Cheng Ziming will love for a lifetime.

"Yinuo?" Cheng Ziming called her name softly.

"Huh? What's wrong? Zhou Zhou turned his face sideways, still leaning on his shoulder.

"You see, outside the window, there is a little bird nesting on a branch." With his chin against his wife's forehead, Cheng Ziming's voice was like gurgling water.

"Hey, yes, it's good to live a good life after building a nest." Zhou Zhou Nuo smiled faintly.

"Yes, isn't life just about living a good life?" Cheng Ziming also smiled, the person in his arms was so warm, he closed his eyes quietly and enjoyed the peace of the afternoon.
