It seems that Mrs. Shen Si probably felt that it would be difficult to come back after walking far this time, so she confided in her some warm words rarely, instead of just waking her up like before.

Shen Rou Ning asked and said, "Why do you think I will be wronged?" ”

Not only Mrs. Shen, but also many others.

And to sum up, it's just that after the aunt who cared for me very much in the past became a mother-in-law, she didn't treat herself as close as before. But in the eyes of some people, she seems to have suffered a great grievance!

Actually, this doesn't make sense.

Mrs. Chen's attitude is now amiable enough, and no one is in a position to ask her for more. Is it because Mrs. Chen asks for warmth and even grovels to offer herself, so that she can not be wronged?

Obviously, this can't be.

Therefore, Shen Rouning really didn't feel any grievances at all.

Mrs. Chen is more distant from her, so she should be cautious when Mrs. Chen serves. No matter what, Mrs. Chen will not be a bad mother-in-law in the eyes of the world!

Mrs. Shen couldn't help but glance at Shen Rouning when she heard this, she was a little surprised, and after a while, she was relieved and said, "You can see clearly, this is rare." In this way, your father and I will have nothing to worry about. ”

Shen Rouning smiled, changed the topic, and said, "Actually, I envy Ah Yan." At a young age, I have traveled so many places and seen so much. In fact, the mother should still bring Duanrong with her. He is now studying behind closed doors in the college, and his progress is actually a bit average. Relatively speaking. More insights will help him more in the future. ”

"People's sights and visions will become more and more precious as they grow."

Mrs. Shen Si was stunned and said, "I don't really understand what you said. But I'll ask the old man for his opinion later. If he thinks Duanrong should leave, then your father and I will leave with him. ”

Shen Rouning said: "The old man is wise, and the mother is thoughtful. ”

After returning to Bixinyuan, it was already early.

Chen Chengfang lived with his father and mother for the first time, and he was extremely excited, and after washing, he still crawled around on the bed and refused to sleep. In the end, it was Shen Rouning who told the story of a small animal. coaxed him to lie down quietly. Fall asleep slowly.

"It's not easy." Chen Houyun sighed: "In the past, when I was with him, he always fell asleep in my arms. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to coax him to sleep on weekdays. ”

So even if the mother is not menopause, she has been physically and mentally exhausted by a child for more than a year. What's more, more than a year. And a lot of things have happened. It's not just the children that need to worry about her. Shen Rouning can understand Mrs. Chen's hard work. I am not afraid that Chen Houyun will know her thoughts: "If you and I are not ready to have a child immediately, and during the period before you leave Beijing, I very much hope to be able to share some housework for my mother...... But I'm afraid that my mother will be too careful. Thought I couldn't wait to take stewardship. ”

In the minds of women in the house, the power of housekeeping is the most important and most important right to be grasped, and it must not be lost. How many fights, even fratricidal relatives, are because they want to grasp this right!

The same is true in the case of Chen Chengfang.

Mrs. Chen is used to managing everything in Chen Chengfang's daily life, and she definitely doesn't want to let go easily.

"My mother is very strong in her heart, and she probably doesn't want to be idle."

It's just that her physical condition is not very good now, and she can't relax from long-term stress and exhaustion, which is quite harmful to her health. I thought to myself that if I could let her recuperate for a while and then work hard, the situation would definitely be much better. ”

Chen Houyun nodded and said, "Father, I have already said it." I hope my father can persuade my mother. Tonight is a good start. ”

Shen Rouning looked up at the bright moon gradually rising in the sky, and nodded.

Mrs. Chen and Mr. Chen stood on the bow of the boat, quietly enjoying the beautiful scenery of the rising moon on the lake. The evening breeze swayed gently, the blue waves swayed slightly, and the heaven and earth were shrouded in a piece of silver light, which made people feel in a trance and felt that they were not in the world.

This silver moonlight night seems to be the cleanest spring, gently cleansing people's hearts. At this moment, Mrs. Chen only felt that all the irritability and depression in her chest had disappeared at this moment, leaving only a quiet and tranquil place.

And this kind of tranquility has not been felt by her for a long time.

Suddenly a fish jumped on the surface of the lake, breaking the reflection of a full moon and rippling with fine silver light.

Mrs. Chen came back to her senses from her dream and sighed softly.

"How?" Master Chen asked.

"Nothing." Mrs. Chen said: "I wonder how many such views I have missed in the past. ”

"That's because you've been too busy." Master Chen said: "Now that the two sons have grown up and become a family, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief, right?" He grabbed Mrs. Chen's hand and said emotionally: "You hands, I don't know if you can still touch the piano?" I suddenly wanted to hear it. ”

When was it, Mrs. Chen was also a music and rhythm master. Among her dowries, there are several very precious guqins. It's just that those pianos, I don't know when they have been shelved, and no one has touched them again.

I'm afraid that Mrs. Chen herself has forgotten their existence.

When Mrs. Chen thought of this, an indescribable sourness welled up in her heart, shook her head, and said, "I'm afraid I can't." ”

"There are some memories that you won't forget." Master Chen led Mrs. Chen to the bow of the boat, sat her down, and said, "Madam, try it." ”

Mrs. Chen plucked the strings lightly, and a string of notes immediately flowed. As if some memory had awakened, she slowly stirred up a piano note, and paused, as if in recollection, before plucking a second ......

Finally, the sound of the piano changed from rusty to smooth, and from smooth to freewheeling...... Mrs. Chen closed her eyes and no longer tried to recall the scores she had memorized twenty years ago...... Only tugging at your own heart!

The aftermath echoed across the surface of the lake for a long time.

Master Chen seemed to have recovered from his intoxication and was amazed.

Mrs. Chen, too, took a long time to find herself from the sound of the piano. Plucked the strings again, and listened to the string of notes glide by quickly, as if she had been in the years and suddenly wanted to cry.

"Let the master see and laugh." Mrs. Chen said softly.

"It's me who can't stop you. Over the years, you have sacrificed too much, and you don't even have some time to play the piano. Master Chen said, "Madam, from tomorrow onwards, you can divide some housework...... I only hope that when our little granddaughter is able to learn the piano, her grandmother will be able to comment on her gains and losses. Show a hand to scare them. Let them worship ......"

Mrs. Chen thought about the picture for a while, and also showed a smile: "Compare with your granddaughters? Sir, you can really think ......, "But if there is a day, it will be interesting." Mrs. Chen was distracted for a moment and returned to reality. He asked, "Who can I give to me just for housework?" If only my brother and sister could really help me. Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't let go of a little bit? ”

"Of course not ma'am." Master Chen said: "The people in the two houses in our house have their own private property. Neither you nor your second siblings are people who want to worry about the property of the public school...... Although the second brother and sister did not succeed. But aren't you just married to two daughters-in-law now? Whether it's Ah Ning or Ming Jia, isn't it easy to share some of the tasks of the housekeeper director for you? Don't always be sympathetic to them, suffer yourself. ”

In the end, there was already some complaint in his voice: "I haven't heard a good piano for so many years......"

The moonlight is bright and the night is gentle.

Mrs. Chen's mood at this time was not at all like noon. After listening to Master Chen's words, she couldn't help but start thinking about Master Chen's proposal in her heart, and she didn't feel irritated and angry. After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said: "Ah Ning and Houyun are married, and calling her at this time will make me seem unreasonable as a mother-in-law; Mingjia, on the other hand, has a big belly and will soon give birth, and then he will have to take care of his young son, and with the first, there will be a second and third child...... Whether it is Ah Ning or Ming Jia, the thoughts and energy of young couples must be spent on their children, even if they want to help me, how can I bear to see them suffer! ”

"A day is a day." Master Chen said: "Just take the moment as an example, Mingjia will forget it, when Ah Ning's newlywed half a month has passed, isn't it just right to help you?" Just at this time, you and I will go out of the city to stay for a while, and you will also rest for a few days. ”

He hugged Mrs. Chen and emphasized: "Just you and me, not even the undertaker." ”

Mrs. Chen's face was hot and she said, "Where does the master want to go?" ”

"If you think it's appropriate, I actually want to accompany you back to your mother's house." Master Chen said: "Or find a temple on the mountain to live for a while." Or just walk a little further and check it out. ”

"I ignored you before." Master Chen said to Mrs. Chen: "Recently, I heard that my sister and brother-in-law have to find a position in the ice and snow in the north, and when I think of the changes in my sister in the past few years, I suddenly realized that it is also excellent for a woman's family to go to a few more places." ”

Mrs. Shen Si has been depressed and unhappy in Shenjia Village for so many years, and she is cold and has no human touch; But after walking out of Shenjia Village and out of the capital, I saw the landscape all the way...... The whole person has been transformed in essence!

"You haven't slept well lately, and you're anxious, maybe it's because you've been entangled in trivial matters for a long time in the house." Master Chen said: "Come out for a walk, maybe there will be a big improvement." ”

Mrs. Shen's example is very convincing.

What's more, in the face of Master Chen's faint concern, Mrs. Chen was already very moved in her heart, where could she say anything about refusal or disagreement. Moreover, just an hour or two of undisturbed tranquility and purity had already given her a sense of refreshment, and how could she not think: what kind of beauty would it be if such a peaceful night had been spent a few more nights?

Mrs. Chen leaned on Master Chen, her eyes welled up with moisture, and she said in a low voice: "If you go back to your parents' house, will it be too troublesome?" To tell you the truth, I have been missing the ginkgo forest on the mountain in my hometown lately...... You don't know, when autumn comes, all the ginkgo leaves are dyed golden yellow, and the whole forest seems to be made of gold, and the gold leaves on the ground make people dare not step into it......"

If it weren't for such a night, Mrs. Chen would never confide in her husband about it. And in this night, many words that you can't think of and can't say on weekdays are said so naturally at this moment.

Early morning.

Chen Houyun found Master Chen and asked with a smile, "When did my father come back last night?" ”

Master Chen couldn't help glaring at Chen Houyun and said, "Smiling, what does it look like!" ”

He stayed with Mrs. Chen until the third watch when the moon was sinking in the west, and then returned to Chen's mansion. When they came back, everyone naturally fell asleep. He still can't forget the surprise of the man who opened the door.

He is still not as thick-skinned as his second brother.

Master Chen couldn't help but think.

Chen Houyun touched his nose, got closer to Master Chen, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, my mother, there should be no problem with you coming out, right?" Do you have any plans in place? Hurry up and strike while the iron is hot, don't let your mother regret it after a while. ”

He had asked the maid who served Mrs. Chen just now. It is said that although Mrs. Chen slept late last night, she was very sweet all night, and she woke up in good spirits, at least her state was much stronger than a while ago.

Obviously, it is to go out to enjoy the scenery and relax, and it has an effect.

Master Chen coughed and said, "Your mother said that she wanted to go back to her mother's house and see the ginkgo forest in her hometown...... Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, I am afraid that it is too late to see the autumn ginkgo forest this year. ”

"It's in time, it's completely in time!" Chen Houyun hurriedly said: "In this way, Dad, this travel arrangement is all wrapped up on his son, you just tell your mother in a while, let her pack up quickly, and your two elders will set off in three days!" Walk on the road for three or four days, and send your second elder to the ground comfortably! ”

Since Mrs. Chen has proposed it, if she can't go, won't she become a heart disease again? This heart disease is accumulated in the heart, and it is not a good thing for anyone! And once her wish is fulfilled, when she comes back, her spirit will definitely be very different!

When Chen Houyun mentioned this, Master Chen hesitated a little: "Will it be too sudden?" ”

Chen Houyun smiled and shook his head.

Master Chen didn't know if he insisted on leaving after three days, or if he had already given up. Just when he was sitting in the study and couldn't make up his mind and was a little depressed, someone from Yu Yintang came, saying that the old man asked him to come over.

"Listen to Houyun, you want to send the Zhou family back to their parents' house?" Old Man Chen handed Master Chen a letter and said, "Since this is the case, you can send a letter to your Lord Taishan for me." (To be continued.) )
