Chapter 13 Father-Son Fighting
Zhong Shan staggered up and opened the door with sleepy eyes, and the person who came was his father and mother.
My mother was carrying a thermos bucket in her hand, and when she entered the door, she said, "I made freshly cooked wontons in the morning, your favorite food when you were a child, so hurry up and eat them while they're hot." He put down the thermos bucket, hurriedly opened the window for ventilation, and said, "Look at this house!" How much wine did you drink last night, and the smell of alcohol in this room is not at home, otherwise it would have to spoil my eldest grandson. He was busy washing rags to wipe the dust from all parts of the house, and throwing mops to mop the floor.
Zhong Shan drank more than half a pound of wine last night, but he didn't eat a bite of the staple food, and he seemed to vomit on the way back, at this time his stomach did feel empty, and he hurriedly opened the thermos bucket that his mother put on the dining table, scooped a wonton with a spoon and put it in his mouth. While eating wontons, I looked at my busy mother with the rest of my eyes. He suddenly noticed that his mother was much thinner than before, and her back was a little hunched.
My father sat on a folding chair, lit a cigarette, and said slowly: "Zhong Shan, you have already joined the work, and some entertainment is normal and necessary, but you must also drink in moderation, and you must not be greedy for alcohol, let alone make mistakes after drinking." ”
Zhong Shan said: "It's okay, it's just a few work partners, everyone is commensurate with buddies, it doesn't matter how much you drink." ”
"I was walking in the park last week, and I saw you Chief Zou, you have performed well in the watch field, and you are a good material for doing news." The father spat out the smoke and continued.
Zhong Shan remembered Lao Yan's teasing last night about his father and Nie always being in brother-in-law, and suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach and wanted to vomit again. The mother hurriedly put down the mop, patted her son's back with her hand, and blamed: "I still said that I didn't drink too much, look at it, it's been a night, and the strength of the wine hasn't passed yet." ”
Zhong Shan waved his hand and pushed the wonton bucket to the side. At this time, the kettle on the gas stove rang, and his mother quickly turned off the fire, poured a cup of boiling water, put some sugar, and handed it to him.
Zhong Shan took a few sips of sugar water while blowing, and felt more comfortable in his appetite. put down the cup, didn't look at his father's face, and asked: "I went to work in the TV station, did you go through the back door of Director Zou with the relationship of your old comrades?" ”
The son's sudden questioning came as a surprise to the father, who had just taken a puff of cigarette and was choked on with a long series of coughs. The mother hurriedly put down the mop and knocked on the father's back, and said as she knocked: "These two masters, none of them are worry-free." ”
My father stopped coughing and said, "It's not what you think." It was me who was walking in the park with your mother last fall, and I happened to meet Director Zou, and she asked me about my children, and I told me about the university and major you studied, and said that you will graduate next year. She said that Tsingshan TV is recruiting talents all over the country, and if your son is not too small for our station, we welcome it very much. I didn't say yes to her at the time. Later, isn't this Meihui pregnant, I thought that it would be much more difficult for Meihui to leave Qingshan and find a job in other places than it would be for you to return to Qingshan, so I called Director Zou and asked if what she said last year counted. She immediately extended a warm welcome. ”
Zhong Shan originally thought that he was standing on the highest point of morality, and he could use words to beat his self-righteous father, who always loved to say irresponsible remarks to him, and he could be regarded as seeking a little justice for his mother who had endured her anger for more than ten years.
The mother also found the tense state of the father and son, standing in the middle of the ground with a mop, and said: "Zou Taichang is very good, don't look at being such a big official, there is no official frame at all, every time you see me and your father in the park, you don't smile or talk, and call me one by one." ”
Hearing his mother's words, Zhong Shan's heart was full of emotion of lamenting his misfortune and anger, but he couldn't express it in words.
Seeing that the father and son stopped talking, the mother changed the topic and said: "Shanzi, you can't just throw your daughter-in-law to your mother's house and leave it alone, what people are pregnant with is our old Zhong family's species." After you finish eating, quickly pack up, and go to Lin's house with your mother to see if there is anything we need to do. You are not sensible, we can't be rude when we are old people. ”
