141 True and False (10)
Zhang's mother has the eyesight, and immediately silently handed over a clean and unused food clip.
Zhen Shi responded with a low "yes", took the food tong, took a small plate that had not been used next to him, and handed a few grapes to Wang Meiyi.
And the latter's expression was displeased, as if she didn't let her husband satisfy her coquettish desire, but by mistake let the person she hated do it.
With an unhappy face, he took the grapes, put them aside, and didn't eat them.
And Zhen Qiming didn't think much about it, but happily asked Zhen Shi to eat more of his favorite dishes.
"Boom! Boom! The voice, this voice, as soon as I heard it, Zhen Jing, the second young man of the Zhen family, who didn't pay much attention to anything, came back.
Zhen Jing is at home, favored by his mother, and his father is not very concerned with housework, he has always been used to rampage.
I only heard him say a few words to someone in the living room, so he went straight to the dining room on a rampage. Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first:
"Mom! None of you are waiting for me! It's not interesting! ”
Wang Meiyi swept away the displeasure just now, stood up and looked full of spring breeze:
"Your dad came back early today, but you, when will you learn to come home on time?"
The language seems to be blamed, but the tone sounds full of pampering.
The Zhen family has a seating order when they eat in their own restaurant, and Zhen Jing, as Zhen Shi's younger brother, is arranged to sit on his left hand side.
Zhen Jing said hello "brother" so-so, and wanted to sit down.
Wang Meiyi stopped: "Son, go sit on my mother's side." ”
Zhen Jing didn't say a word, sat next to his mother, and pulled his mother to hug and coquettish.
Zhen Shi turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, just chewing the food silently throughout the whole process.
Zhen Qiming has always looked down on Zhen Jing's ups and downs, and looked at him as a mother who hadn't grown up yet, so he just snorted from his nose to show his disdain.
Zhen Jing didn't know if he was big or if he really didn't see it, as soon as he sat down, he shouted horizontally, "Happy birthday to my dear dad!" Boom! ", and then made a funny expression, but successfully amused Zhen Qiming, who is usually not smiling.
Wang Meiyi was also very satisfied with her son's performance, and the family toasted another glass of wine together, which was very happy, and Zhen Shi also had a rare smile on his face.
Zhang's mother silently added tableware to the newcomer Zhen Jing.
Zhen Jing was talking to her mother about what happened at school with great interest, Wang Meiyi listened lovingly, and responded from time to time.
When Zhang's mother finished her work, she quietly stood in a corner of the restaurant, waiting for the new needs of the employers.
I don't know how many times she had observed the family from an omniscient perspective.
From the two of Zhen Qiming and his wife at the beginning, to Zhen Shi later, and then to Zhen Jing, she witnessed the continuous expansion of this family member.
There is a question, since Zhen Shi was officially adopted to the Zhen family, it has been swirling in her mind and has never been able to disperse:
When she first met Zhen, he was six years old.
At that time, Zhang's mother was still an hourly worker in the Zhen family, and she came to be responsible for cleaning the room three times a week.
In those years, she saw Zhen Qiming only a handful of times.
Because Zhen Qiming is always busy with work, and she usually comes to Zhen's house on weekdays, it is very difficult to see the male host.
But she will always remember how she felt when she first met Zhen:
This six-year-old boy is really too similar to Zhen Qiming.
It's too much of a resemblance.
They had exactly the same wide forehead, as if carved out of the same mold.
The curvature and distance between the chin and lower lip are also strikingly similar.
You know, the area between the chin and the lower lip is very personal, some people are flat, some people have a groove in the middle, and many of the differences in appearance between people are reflected here.
At first, she thought that this must be fate, the adopted child looked so similar to the male host.
Once Wang Meiyi chatted with her and talked about Zhen Shi's appearance.
Zhang's mother mentioned in passing, "When I saw the little master for the first time, I thought he had a good relationship with the Zhen family, and he looked very similar to Mr., isn't this fate", but unexpectedly, Wang Meiyi did not give her expected response, but was a little surprised:
"Where is it like? It's not like it at all. ”
Zhang's mother immediately changed the subject and asked her what kind of detergent she liked, and next time she was going to clean the kitchen thoroughly.
After leaving Zhen's house, on the way back, Zhang's mother thought for a long time, and there were many things she couldn't understand, but she was very sure of one thing:
The more people get along with each other every day, the more they can't see the similarity between Zhen Qiming and Zhen Shi.
On the contrary, when she occasionally sees Zhen Qiming like her, she can remember the characteristics of his appearance more and find the similarities between him and Zhen Shi.
And Wang Meiyi's attitude also made her firm in her thoughts:
In order to keep this job, I will never easily comment on the Zhen family's family affairs in the future, which is a taboo for domestic service workers.
She needs this job, this salary to support her family, and she has two children waiting for her to earn money to feed her.
So this secret has been hidden in her heart for more than ten years.
Zhen Shi, Zhen Jing's two children grew bigger and bigger, and the mystery in Zhang's mother's heart grew crazy year after year.
Zhen Shi, the more he looks like Zhen Qiming, he didn't grow when he was a child, and there are vague differences in some places, but when he grows up, the adoptive father and son are exactly the same with high noses and deep eyes, and even the color of their pupils is the same.
On the other hand, Zhen Jing is similar to Wang Meiyi, inheriting her bone appearance, thin lips and hair color, but there is really no similarity with Zhen Qiming.
Of course, this can also be explained by the fact that, from a genetic point of view, Zhen Jing's maternal genes are stronger, and more dominant traits are inherited to Zhen Jing.
How to explain the similarity between Zhen Shi and Zhen Qiming?
There is a saying in Zhang's mother's hometown:
"If the child is raised from a very young age, the appearance will become more and more similar to the adoptive parents, because the family is together every day, experiences things together, experiences joys, sorrows and sorrows together, and the mood and expression are highly synchronized over the years, and gradually the appearance of the person is sculpted to be similar."
However, if this assumption is true, then Zhen Jing ......
Every time I think of this, Zhang's mother doesn't think about it anymore.
In the final analysis, this is a private matter of the employer's family, she is just a staff member of the Zhen family, and she should put herself in the right position.
Wang Meiyi is greeting again:
"Mom Zhang, you can bring another small plate for Ah Jing."
"Yes, ma'am."
Zhang's mother is as good as a stream.
Zhen Jing suddenly raised his head and asked Zhen Shi:
"Brother, I heard that you went to Hotel W a few days ago?"
"Go. The partners make an appointment to meet there to talk about things. How? ”
"No, I just heard that a few girls from our school are also there."
The two brothers were talking headlessly.
Wang Meiyi interrupted: "At home, don't talk about work. Especially since today is your father's birthday, the three of you, just give me a meal, a cake, a candle, and work, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
Zhen Jing habitually grimaced: "I know, long-winded mother." ”
