Chapter 210: Eating a Different Taste
The laughter of adults and children kept coming from his ears, and Chen Zhongyue's heart went up and down, occasionally raising his eyes and peeking at the people sitting in the living room.
I saw that in just half a year, the old man seemed to be several years younger than when he was in the countryside, and at this time, he looked red and energetic, and he couldn't tell that he was already in his seventies.
Looking at the old lady, the same is true.
It can be seen that in the city for most of the year, the two old men are really doing very well.
It's been more than a year since Apple entered the city, and now she looks more and more prominent, no matter how she dresses or talks and behaves, she looks more like a girl in the city.
Little Amber snuggled up to the old lady, the smile on her face brighter than the warm winter sun.
Sister-in-law's belly is really big.
It turned out that Wang Zhen's guess that day was really not wrong, and the eldest sister did not lie to him.
The sister-in-law is really pregnant, I hope that this time the eldest brother and sister-in-law can give birth to a son as they wish, so that the Chen family will have a real inheritor of incense.
It's just that Wang Zhen, the woman, actually went to the village to report it, she was really looking for death!
"Zhongyue, Zhongyue? What are you thinking? Suddenly, the old man's somewhat angry voice reached Chen Zhongyue's ears, making him come back to his senses and look up at the old man, but he didn't know why the old man was angry because of the running spirit just now.
"Dad, I'm ...... You, don't be angry. It's all my fault, it's my fault! Seeing that the old man's eyebrows were furrowed and his face was unhappy, Chen Zhongyue panicked suddenly, stood up suddenly, and said wrongly.
"Second brother, what are you doing? No one blames you for anything, Dad just told you not to be in a daze. Eat more vegetables. Come, this is the second brother's favorite fish, and my mother specially asked Amber and her sister-in-law to buy it in the city. Early in the morning, let Apple drive to the city to get it back. The second brother needs to eat more. Chen Zhongyue's sudden confession of mistake stunned all the people at the table, but fortunately, Chen Yingyue reacted quickly enough and took the chopsticks to clip a piece of fish to Chen Zhongyue.
Chen Yingyue's interruption finally made the atmosphere on the table lively again, Chen Zhongyue didn't dare to wander anymore, and silently ate the fish that Chen Yingyue gave him.
There's nothing special about this fish. It's just an ordinary catfish, but it's really Chen Zhongyue's favorite fish.
It's rare to buy it here in Xijiang District, and I called as early as Chen Canyue. said that when the couple was in Xiao Binbin's full moon, they would take Chen Zhongyue to the villa to celebrate, and the old lady fell in love.
I went to the nearby vegetable market and didn't see anything for sale, and finally asked Meng Yanqin to buy her a big catfish in the city. The old lady made a catfish stew with vermicelli. It has been stewed for a long time, which is not only flavorful, but also specially added a lot of chili peppers according to Chen Zhongyue's taste.
The taste of the fish is very good, but Chen Zhongyue tasted a different taste, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little hot, this warm feeling of being with his family, this warm feeling of being loved by his family, he has not felt it for a long time.
Chen Zhongyue didn't realize that Chen Xuanyue, who hadn't eaten at the same table with him for ten years, had been sitting beside him today. From time to time, I will add him a chopstick dish.
In the eyes of others, Amber has probably been immersed in eating vegetables, in fact, she has been observing.
Judging from Chen Zhongyue's table. Chen Canyue has put in a lot of effort this month, at least now he has slowly begun to integrate into this big family again.
It's just that Chen Zhongyue's pace is too slow, and his progress is too small, and he is very dissatisfied with this second uncle's cousin, what is it if he can't let go of a big man?
However, she understands one thing, she is a junior, and there are some things that she can see and observe, and she can also secretly push it from behind, but she must not say it to her face.
You can't just say it, let's split it in another way.
So Meng Amber took a pair of clean chopsticks, learned Chen Yingyue's movements, and grabbed a large piece of fish, wanting to put it in Chen Zhongyue's bowl.
There are a total of eleven people at the table today, Meng Amber sits between Chen Yingyue and Meng Feixiang, although Chen Zhongyue's seat is close to Chen Yingyue, but who makes Meng Amber have short arms, even if there is only Chen Yingyue alone, it is still a little difficult to send the fish pieces in his hand into Chen Zhongyue's bowl.
"Ah, it's going to fall off, it's going to fall, Mom, let me go, I'm going to give my second uncle a fish to eat." Meng Amber stretched out her little arm as she struggled, and her mouth was still babbling, for fear that everyone would not see her movements.
Meng Amber's delicate appearance made Chen Zhongyue feel even more warm, his niece used to call her second uncle very reluctantly when she saw her, how could she be so intimate with herself?
Unexpectedly, today not only made him experience the long-lost family affection, but also made him feel everyone's kindness to him and the old mother's love for him.
He loves to eat catfish, but he has hardly eaten a meal in the past ten years, not because his family is too poor to afford catfish, but Wang Zhen doesn't know what he likes to eat, she should never have taken his preferences to heart.
Thinking about it like this, Chen Zhongyue only felt cold all over, and scolded himself in his heart for what he gave up and lost for the sake of a Wang Zhen?
Fortunately, it is still too late, as the eldest sister Chen Canyue said, he is only thirty-six years old, and he will have at least another thirty-six years in his life, why should he give up the entire forest for Wang Zhen, a person who has never known how to cherish?
In this full moon banquet that his family ate together, the biggest harvest should be Chen Zhongyue.
By the time Chen Apple and Meng Amber had eaten enough and went upstairs into the room, Chen Zhongyue could be regarded as completely letting go.
Probably because of some wine, maybe because Chen Apple and Meng Amber were not in front of the two juniors, everyone's topic slowly began to touch Chen Zhongyue's privacy.
"I heard that after Wang Zhen went back, she went to the village committee to report it?" This is the old man's question.
It turned out that the first thing Wang Zhen did when she returned to the countryside was to find the village committee and report Lin Haihua for secretly giving birth to a second child in N City.
But what Wang Zhen didn't expect was that the cadres in charge of family planning in the village committee not only did not praise her, but scolded her severely.
I've never seen a woman like Wang Zhen who doesn't cherish and love her family, and I've never seen a woman like Wang Zhen who has no pressure to show a knife behind her back!
What Wang Zhen didn't know was that because Lin Haihua and Chen Xuanyue's situation was special. When their son drowned in the village's fish pond, the village also had some responsibility.
Originally, the fish pond was just a shallow pond twenty or thirty centimeters deep that the villagers brought from the nearby stream to facilitate washing and washing vegetables.
Later, in the name of increasing the village's income, the village committee dug a shallow pond into a deep pond. It is true that some fish are kept in it.
The pond was excavated before it was objected to by villagers living nearby, as the village was too close to the village and the soil was loose on the edge of the pond, so one could slip into the pond if one was not careful.
In the shallow pond like before, it was convenient for the villagers to wash their hands and clothes in the pool, and they were not afraid of children playing in the water.
In the name of increasing the village's income, the village committee naturally won the support of most of the villagers.
However, the village committee dug ponds and raised fish, but they were negligent in management. Chen Xuanyue's son was not the first child to drown in that pond, but he was the last.
In order not to put more children in danger, after the son drowned and his wife lost her child. Chen Xuanyue made a big fuss with the village committee, and finally forced the village to backfill the fish pond with sand and gravel, and restore it to the original shallow pond.
For this reason, the village committee reached a consensus, regardless of whether Lin Haihua can have another child. The village has always reserved a place for Chen Xuanyue to give birth.
Other words. No matter when Chen Xuanyue wants a child, whether it is to give birth to himself or to adopt him, in short, Chen Xuanyue can have another child under his name.
It's just that this consensus is known to each member of the village committee, but only Chen Xuanyue knows about the Chen family, and even Lin Haihua is kept in the dark.
Chen Xuanyue knew that if such a decision was made to Lin Haihua, the kind-hearted Lin Haihua might beg to leave the Chen family and let him marry again. that there might be a son in his name.
But how could Chen Xuanyue, who has a very close relationship with Lin Haihua, divorce his beloved wife in order to have a son? What's more, there is a daughter Chen Apple between them who he treats as a baby like eyeballs?
Therefore, this matter naturally cannot be known to Lin Haihua.
After learning the news that it was possible for Lin Haihua to restore her fertility. Before taking Lin Haihua to N City to see a doctor, Chen Xuanyue had already greeted and communicated with the village committee, so the self-righteous Wang Zhen went to the village committee to report at this time, how could she have a good face?
Wang Zhen didn't know the inside story, but thought that the family planning staff of the village committee was shielding Lin Haihua, making a lot of noise in the village committee, saying a lot of very unpleasant things, and finally letting the Lin brothers who learned the news clean up.
This time the clean-up made the people in the village take a quick beat, and this time even her mother's brother was not embarrassed to support him.
Few people in the village have a good impression of Wang Zhen, on the contrary, Lin Haihua's popularity in the village is very good.
Those few people who followed Chen Canyue and his wife to do projects in the city naturally would not let go of the opportunity to curry favor with Chen Canyue for the man, and they had already called the man and asked them to tell Chen Xuanyue and Lin Haihua, asking them to beware of Wang Zhen making another bad move.
This news naturally spread to Chen Xuanyue and Lin Haihua for a while, but the old couple of the Chen family and Chen Yingyue kept it a secret in front of them, and everyone didn't want the old man to be angry about this kind of thing, and they didn't want Chen Yingyue to worry about such a thing.
It's just that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news still reached the ears of the old man a few days ago, which really made the old man feel depressed for a while, if it weren't for Chen Xuanyue and his wife carefully and deliberately interrupting and laughing, I don't know if the old man would be angry.
"Dad...... I ......" Chen Zhongyue's mood sank down again, and he didn't know how to face his parents and brother and sister-in-law for a while.
"Dad, don't blame Zhongyue for this, Zhongyue only heard me talk about my sister-in-law's pregnancy a few days ago. When he heard that his sister-in-law was pregnant, he was overjoyed. The more Chen Can saw that Chen Zhong seemed to have the intention of retracting again, and hurriedly came out to speak for him.
Now that he has finally achieved some results, he can't let Chen Zhongyue shrink into the shell he built again, feeling sorry for himself.
"Just happy has a fart! As long as that woman is still in the Chen family, the Chen family will not have a peaceful life! Third, I can tell you how to go in the future, you have to go by yourself. As parents and brothers and sisters, we can only help you on the side, if you can't help yourself, how can we help you is not the same as before! "Old Man Chen doesn't want to let it go lightly, and when he feels that he should attack with heavy punches, he must not be merciful.
"Yes, second brother, what do you think in your heart, are you going to continue to live with Wang Zhen, or whatever, you have to give us a letter. Only if you make up your mind can we know how to help you. This is Chen Yingyue's voice. (To be continued......)
