Chapter 134: Hesitation
This intention is also comparable to the thoughtfulness of Zhongqing when he got married.
However, it was only back then, and now he is the town guard, Zhong Qing, as the wife of the town guard office, seems to be more busy than him, the town guard, and he can't see each other for three days and two days, either the wife of the owner invites him to go to the play, or the wife of the west family invites him to play cards, and it is difficult for her to entertain. When colleagues met and mentioned Zhongqing, there was no one who did not envy him, and said that he could marry a good wife. Only he knew in his heart that Zhongqing, a 'good lady', was just a vain name at the moment.
Thinking of the things she was doing behind her back, Tan Rulin became more and more stunned, seeing that the dishes and chopsticks in front of him had been arranged, he said to Chen Fangfei: "If my cousin has nothing else to do, you might as well sit down, just don't eat and say a few words to me." ”
He has always been majestic, Chen Fangfei only remembers his vigorous and resolute behavior in his impression, but she has never seen his down-and-out appearance at the moment. Because she didn't know what was going on, it was inconvenient to excuse herself, so she had no choice but to sit down and smile: "What does my cousin want to say to me?" ”
yes, what do you want to say to her? Tan Rulin knocked a few times on the edge of the bowl with two chopsticks in one hand, the affairs of the yamen are discussed by colleagues in the yamen, and they can't leak in front of others at will, and the affairs of the family are all presided over by Zhongqing and Chen Fangfei, and there is no place for him to put his beak.
He couldn't find a good topic for a while, and there was silence at the dinner table, and the smile on Chen Fangfei's face gradually stiffened. After waiting for a while, just as she was about to get up and excuse herself to do something else, Tan Rulin said unexpectedly: "Speaking of which, I haven't been back to my hometown for seven or eight years, and I don't know what the situation is there." Cousin, you're from there. If there's anything worth talking about, might as well pick up some and tell me about it. ”
He slanted and poured out this nostalgia. caught Fang Fei off guard, but fortunately, she was very clear. Just when Tan Rulin was really homesick, he turned his head and thought about it. The wheat in the field, although there are all those miscellaneous things every day, but there are many interesting things to pick and choose. So Chen Fangfei followed Tan Rulin's temperament and told some stories about her sneaking hunting with her neighborhood partners in the countryside when she was a child, and told about the transformation of the countryside into a town in the past two years.
Tan Rulin listened to her while eating, obviously it seemed to be a lot of trivial things, and some of them were not even as interesting as when he was a teenager. But intuitively I listened very much. Perhaps it was Chen Fangfei's radiant attitude when he spoke infected him, Tan Rulin's appetite for this meal was great, and he said that he would leave in a quarter of an hour, but he delayed for an hour and did not leave.
Zhongqing and Yu heard the laughter in the restaurant when they came in from outside the door, and Yu was worried about Wanchun's injury, but he didn't care. Zhong Qing was very strange, listening to that laughter was clearly unique to Tan Rulin, at this point, who came to the house to talk to him?
She was wondering. Mama Feng listened to the order, and just went from the kitchen to the dining room with a bowl of chicken and corn soup, and when she met Zhongqing and them, she hurriedly bent down and called Mrs. Madame. Zhong Qing looked at the bowl in her hand. He asked, "Who is eating?" Is the lord in for a treat? ”
Feng Ma smiled: "It's not a guest, it's the master who is eating by himself." ”
"The master is eating by himself?" It's strange, isn't it worth it to be so happy to eat?
Knowing that there are no guests in the restaurant. Zhong Qing put his mind at ease and said to Yu, "Mom, go upstairs and rest for a while." The affairs of the fourth sister are arranged by me. I went to the restaurant to take a look, and you came back from nowhere. What kind of meal did you eat at this point? ”
Yu Shi listened to her tone and was not very friendly, thinking that she was already married and a mother, and she would never say anything more in other people's homes, so she nodded and went upstairs first. Zhong Qing walked towards the restaurant, and as soon as she entered the floor flower cover, she saw that there was still a person at the table, she couldn't help but laugh, and laughed: "I said, there is no real money in this meal, how can you eat so happily, it turns out that your cousin is here." ”
Chen Fangfei was shocked when she heard her voice at first glance, and as soon as she was halfway through her words, she stopped standing up and smiled at Zhong Qing: "You came back so early today?" What about Mrs. Lee, is she back too? ”
Zhong Qing pressed her shoulder and asked her to sit back as usual, and said to herself: "Mom is also back, this is not tired all morning, I asked her to go back to the room to rest." It's you two, when is this going on, and why are you going to have lunch? ”
Chen Fangfei said: "It's just that my cousin eats alone, I have already eaten it, and this time it's just a few words with my cousin." ”
"You've eaten it a long time ago?" Zhong Qing also sat down, leaned over and looked at the dining table, and sure enough, she saw only a pair of dishes and chopsticks, so she stretched out her hand and poked Tan Rulin's forehead and said with a smile, "Look at you, after eating, let my cousin sit here and listen to you say what you have and don't." And from which good place did you fool around? Why didn't you even get a meal? ”
She has been pregnant for the past two years, and Su Xi loves to make such jokes with Tan Rulin. In the past, Tan Rulin was grateful for the hard work of her pregnancy, afraid of its edge, and didn't mind much, and passed with a smile. He only talked to Chen Fangfei today, and he told stories about his high spirits when he was young, which made Zhong Qing poke down with a finger, and suddenly felt disgraced, and his face turned cold in an instant, and he threw his chopsticks on the round table, and snorted: "Why, my own home, I have to ask for the consent of others to eat, do you want to eat at the right time?" The yamen is so busy with official business, when did you see me take a break and go to those unclean places? ”
Zhong Qingyuan was just joking, but Tan Rulin changed her face so quickly, and in front of Chen Fangfei, she didn't feel ashamed and annoyed, and she also sneered with a cold face: "What do you have to do with the busy official affairs in the yamen and you, the town guard?" Aren't you enough to call for the people under your hands, I just asked for a Hou Sheng from you, isn't Dongzi still with you? Since you had the ability to build a small family without telling me, can't you hide from me now that you can start another stove and have a hot meal? ”
She tried her best to be unforgiving, and what she said was all old things, and shaking it was like sprinkling a layer of ash, which made people feel uncomfortable. Tan Rulin couldn't help but be taken aback after accepting a few words from her, and simply didn't care about her, so he caught fire in his heart, got up suddenly, kicked the chair under him, and called people one after another.
Chen Fangfei didn't expect that the couple didn't agree so far, and they were busy saying two words to unravel, who knew that Zhongqing's temper was the most urgent, and she couldn't wait for her to speak, so she asked Tan Rulin, "Where are you going?" ”
The attendant officer who heard the movement outside the door had already run to the restaurant, and Tan Rulin ordered him to prepare the car, and then turned around and glared at Zhong Qing and said, "Go to the yamen!" After speaking, the man had already walked out of the restaurant.
Zhong Qing was so angry that he couldn't help himself, his white face turned red, and his eyes stared straight at Tan Rulin's back, as if he was willing to make two holes for him.
After Chen Fangfei experienced this incident, her little heart plopped and jumped for a while, seeing that she and Zhong Qing were left in the restaurant, she dared to reach out and hold Zhong Qing's arm, and persuaded gently: "Cousin, don't be angry, cousin, he may really have something." ”
"Is there really something? Hum! ”
Zhong Qing's anger was still unsubsidy, but after all, Tan Rulin had already left, and she couldn't get angry at Chen Fangfei, so she had to clench her fists and quietly write down the account, before she took a breath and turned around and said to Chen Fangfei: "I accompanied my mother to the hospital in the morning, and I was a little tired, and I still have to trouble my cousin here to order someone to clean up, so I'll go back to the room and rest for a while." ”
Chen Fangfei knew that she was still angry, so she should come down when she was busy, and called the servant to wait for Zhong Qing to go upstairs, but she cleaned up the bowl and chopsticks, put them in a large tray, and went to the back kitchen to wash them.
Zhong Qing went upstairs, because there was a fire hidden in his belly, saying that he was resting, but he was unwilling, so he turned a corner and arrived in front of Yu's guest room with a single footstep. She knocked on the door twice, Na Lin was waiting in the room, and when she heard the sound, she came over and opened the door, and when she saw that it was her, she smiled and said, "Mrs. is just going to sleep, what is the second lady doing here?" ”
Zhong Qing looked inside, and sure enough, her mother Yu had already taken off her shoes and socks and went to bed, so she bowed at the door and said, "If Mom sleeps, I won't go in." ”
Yu Shi had actually just sat on the bed, heard Zhong Qing's voice, and thought that she was just doing something downstairs, and she wouldn't go upstairs to find her for no reason, she was afraid that something was right, so she was busy calling her in the room: "Come in, if you have something to say, what are you doing between mother and daughter?" ”
Zhong Qing then entered the door with a smile and said, "I'm just afraid of disturbing my mother's rest, so I don't dare to say more." ”
"Excuse me, you're here." Yu Shi half sat up, leaned against the head of the bed and asked her, "Is it awkward to have trouble with Rulin?" ”
Zhong Qing smiled, expecting that he couldn't hide it, so he nodded slightly.
Yu Shi knew this, so he ordered her to sit on the sofa chair at the head of the bed, and then sighed and said, "You are too stubborn, and you must be strong in everything." If he eats there, why do you want to fight with him for that idle breath? ”
Hearing this, Zhong Qing hurriedly said, "Mom, why do you also say good things for him?" Where do I want to compete with him, but I just saw him and Fang Fei laughing, so I followed the joke, who knew that he was like eating a gun, and angrily fired at me. If you don't believe it, go back and ask Fang Fei, what did I say? ”
Yu frowned, and said after a moment: "He is eating with that cousin of the Chen family?" ”
"Exactly." Zhong Qing was not very angry, and muttered, "I don't know what the two of them said, hee-hee-ha-ha, I changed my face as soon as I went." Why, as far as they say, I can't say it? ”
She is always full of affection in front of her mother, and she is not without grievances. However, Yu hesitated, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know what to say, and said slowly for a while: "Let me ask you, where does my uncle live these two days?" ”
Zhong Qing didn't know what her mother meant by this, so she said, "In the past two days, he said that there were many things in the yamen, and he has been living in the small study downstairs. Mom asked what this was for? (To be continued.) )
