Chapter 10: There are always entanglements
"Aunt Luo, help me get an old popsicle, can I put this watermelon in your freezer and freeze it for a while?!"
"What's wrong with this, don't put it here to freeze,...... Here's ice cream, don't crush me, my Uncle Chen. Take it into the freezer of the cold beer in the house, and make sure that the watermelon will be frozen for you in a few moments. ”
Chen Mo threw a ten-pound watermelon directly into the ice water, with a popsicle in his mouth, hiding in the shade of a tree and listening to a group of aunts. An old lady who had never seen it before asked, "Isn't this from our courtyard?" It's the first time I've seen such a spirited young man. ”
Aunt Luo smiled: "It's not in our yard, it's the son-in-law of Director Li's family, but he also grew up in front of him since he was a child." His grandfather was the old dean of the former Research Institute of Exploration and Development, and many of the current officials were all students of his grandfather. ”
Chen Mo was originally most afraid of talking to a group of old men and old ladies and calculating the time, but fortunately he would not stay here for a long time. After a while, I saw their Petronas tourist car drive into the yard, and couldn't wait to rush out of the encirclement of a group of old ladies.
Li Shan didn't let Chen Mo wait for a long time, and quickly got out of the car. With a height of nearly 1.8 meters, she is not the kind of traditional beauty, because she is too tall, and because her bones are a little big, the whole person looks a little strong. In addition, like Chen Mo, she has a pair of deep eye sockets, a high nose and thick lips, and a well-defined contour, which looks more sexy and less delicate.
In order to hide these shortcomings of her own, she has always dressed in bohemian loose clothes since she went to college. Not to mention, as soon as she dressed up like this, it immediately increased her attractiveness by N levels. Chen Mo used to go to the Academy of Fine Arts to find her, and he fought for her a lot. Fortunately, he is also in good health, although he is not tall, but he is also very strong, and he has fought a few fights and has not lost a single one.
After establishing a relationship with Chen Mo, Li Shan never wore high heels again, because she was as tall as Chen Mo without shoes, and if she wore high heels, she would look half a head taller than Chen Mo, which would be too incongruous.
Seeing Chen Mo, she pursed her lips and smiled, and opened her arms to Chen Mo. The other people in the courtyard laughed good-naturedly, and Chen Mo only stubbornly walked over to her, hugged her body, and hugged her gently. "Naughty again."
"What, you're not happy to see me?! Not happy?! ”
"How so?! Of course I'm happy. Chen Mo let go of her and walked in front of Yu Ting. Auntie, which is your luggage, I'll help you get it! ”
"You're still reliable, you've come through half of the capital, and your uncle hasn't seen anyone yet."
"He's busy with work, and there's no better place to be free than me, an unemployed vagrant."
"How's your work going?"
"I've been contacted, and I'm officially going to work on September 1st."
"Then you have to do a good job, don't embarrass your grandfather."
Their mother and daughter really have a lot of luggage, and their two suitcases also carry two bags of purchased sea goods. Chen Mo ran twice before moving all his luggage to the third floor where they lived. During this period, Yu Ting and Li Shan did not do anything, but chatted with the people who went out to travel together, and the three aunts and eight women in the compound. At this time, it is the time for Chen Mo, the prospective son-in-law, to behave well, and he has done it in place today, so that their mother and daughter will have a bright face, and their lives will be much better.
After packing his luggage, Chen Mo ran into the commissary. Scooped up the big watermelon from the freezer before shouting, "Auntie, Shanshan, go home." ”
Yu Ting and Li Shan were like victorious generals, greeting the others one by one, and followed Chen Mo upstairs. It's not that their mother and daughter are vulgar, but that's the atmosphere in the compound. They all work in a company and a system, these women are not more beautiful than they are married, they are more married than their husbands, they are better than their children after giving birth, and when their children are older, they start to compare objects again. Anyway, according to the atmosphere in the compound, I will continue to compare myself with others all my life, and I will not stop for a moment.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but be glad that he was from the capital and had a house in the capital. If you live in this kind of compound, you won't be able to rest for the rest of your life.
As soon as she entered the door, Li Shan began to pounce on Chen Mo's body, Yu Ting coughed, and Chen Mo hurriedly said: "On such a hot day, I have a stinky sweat, don't lean towards me." ”
"People don't care! I like to smell your sweat. ”
"Dead girl!" Yu Ting couldn't sit still, rubbed her waist and said, "After more than three hours of driving, my back hurts." I'm going to rest for a while. Xiao Mo, don't leave at night, your uncle will come back in a while, and we will go out to eat in the evening. ”
The space was left to the two young people, and Li Shan became a little shy again. Pointing to his suitcase, he said, "Help me bring it in, and I bought you a gift." ”
As soon as they entered Li Shan's bedroom, the two of them were almost steamed out by the high temperature inside. Their house is located at the westernmost end of a unit, and Li Shan's room is exposed to the sun, and the temperature here is 50 degrees.
Chen Mo hurriedly opened the window, turned on the fan and air conditioner, and after a while, the cool air came down, and he could treat people inside. Li Shan wiped her body in the toilet and slipped in quietly. "My mom is hiding, you go wash it. Remember, only use the towel with blue flowers on a white background, don't take it wrong. ”
Chen Mo flinched. "It's ...... at your house"
Li Shan ran a wink, "Don't you want to ......?"
Chen Mo immediately couldn't stand it, his young body always couldn't stand too much temptation. Holding Li Shan's head, Chen Mo gave her a passionate kiss, panting and saying, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon." ”
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of the door opening was heard outside. Chen Mo was shocked, this must be Li Boqing is back, the tools of the crime below are high, he didn't dare to turn around, and went directly into Li Shan's bedroom. Li Shan grinned and greeted him. "Dad, you're back, I miss you."
Tap ...... Tap ...... Oh my old waist! Girl, it's time for you to lose weight, right?! Li Boqing's ridicule provoked Li Shan's coquettishness, and Yu Ting also opened the door and stared at the towel in Chen Mo's hand with a smile. As soon as you come back, you will arrange for Xiao Mo to do this and that, and as soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard what others said. ”
"They are envious." The mother and daughter said in unison, looking at each other and smiling again.
Chen Mo took a large towel on Li Shan's bed to block it, and deliberately pretended to wipe his sweat, and it took a while to silence his crime tools. "Hello uncle."
"How's your work going?!"
"On September 1st, I officially went to work, and I was responsible for the review and translation of bidding in the International Department of the Material Procurement Center."
Li Boqing paused for a moment and said: "From the arrangement of this position, you can also see your grandfather's expectations for you, don't waste a piece of his hard work." ”
"I try to do better."
"Sit down and talk." He turned on the air conditioner in the living room and asked Yu Ting, "How did you go to Beidaihe?" ”
"It's not like that, and I haven't seen much better than in the capital, where there are more people than in the capital now. Shanshan, go and get the watermelon knife, kill the watermelon and eat it. ”
"I'll come, I'll come ......"
Li Boqing stopped him and said, "You don't need to do it, let's sit down and talk." How's your grandfather's health lately?! ”
Li Shan took the watermelon knife and handed it directly to Chen Mo's hand. Chen Mo took it and said, "Anyway, his body is not going to get better, it's just to see if he can suffer less." This melon is good, sand pulp! ”
"He has been high and bright all his life, and he is full of diseases, which is really unfair! You have to honor your grandfather, and if you let me know what you did wrong, don't blame me for going to the ministry to sue directly! ”
Yu Ting said unhappily: "What the are you doing?!" Xiao Mo is not that kind of person! ”
Chen Mo handed a piece of watermelon to one of them and said: "All evil and prostitution are the first, and all good and filial piety are the first, I still remember this sentence clearly." We just don't dare to be sorry for the old man. ”
"In the last few days, your second uncle and they have also moved back to the alley?"
"Well, I was training some time ago, and I didn't have time during the day, so I asked my second uncle and them to go back to live for a while, and take care of my grandfather during the day, and I went over at night."
"Isn't it hard?" Yu Ting asked.
"It's not hard, his physiology is declining, and he needs to use a ventilator occasionally, and just pay a little attention at night."
After chatting with Li Boqing for a while, and experiencing their care, Chen Mo's heart became clear again with the idea of being enthusiastic in the morning. Although Li Shan refused in the morning, he still wanted to fight again.
After eating a piece of watermelon, Chen Mo took out a tissue to wipe his hands. Li Shan immediately handed him another piece of watermelon. "I don't want it, Shanshan, my uncle and aunt are here, I want to propose to you again in front of them, are you willing to marry me?!"
Li Boqing was choked by a watermelon seed all of a sudden, coughed violently, and spit out the culprit for a while before he breathed a long sigh of relief. "Xiao Mo, are you giving us a surprise attack?!"
Li Shan restrained the smile on her face, looked at her parents again, and said after a while: "I told you in the morning that I am willing to marry you, but only after I come back from Paris." It is my dream to study in Paris, I studied design, and I also need to learn more about international design concepts, which will have a huge effect on my future life. So ,............"
Chen Mo sighed and said, "I also know that my request is a little unreasonable, but my grandfather's life is only two or three years away, and I really want him to see us set up a happy family." Shanshan, I can promise you that when Grandpa dies, I can accompany you to Paris, and I can go with you wherever you want. ”
"So, you want to get married because of your grandfather?!"
Chen Mo secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly said: "It's just a small part, most of it is because I love you." ”
"Love more than Airoujia?!"
Chen Mo was silent, he didn't want to hide anything from Li Shan, and he didn't want to lie to her. "Roujia is the best dream of my youth, representing the beauty of nostalgia. And you are my partner in reality, we need to grow old hand in hand step by step. ”
