Chapter 5: Confusion

Nian Xinchen rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched out his hand to the bedside table and groped for a while, and then got his iPhone, today is a rare holiday, I wanted to sleep a little longer, but this noisy mobile phone message reminder bell disturbed people.

He opened his eyes and closed them again, outside the window, the sunlight was already shining through the glass to the end of his bed, this light was a little dazzling. He picked up his phone and looked at the time on it, 7:50, it was just a text message from his father: "I'll get married next week." Father: Jun Hong.

He immediately rolled over from the bed and sat up, completely sleepy. Daddy is getting married? And with whom? There is no sign of this!

The news was too sudden for him.

Fifteen years ago, when his mother died, when he was still an ignorant child, he asked his father: "Dad, one day, will you find another aunt to be my stepmother?" At that time, among his classmates, the legend of the stepmother wolf spread almost all over the elementary school campus, and when he asked this, God knows how much uneasiness there was in his heart.

Fortunately, Dad's answer was no. Think about how gratifying Dad's reason was at that time!

He said: "Xin Chen, you are still young, let's talk about it when you are admitted to university!" But when you are admitted to college, I am also old, and it is not appropriate to find another aunt to be your stepmother. It's enough for Dad to have you and your sister. ”

After that, Nian Junhong really fulfilled his promise, no longer married, only hired an older aunt to take care of their brother and sister's daily life, and he finally gradually came out of the grief of his mother's death, until he integrated his whole body and mind into the college entrance examination, and was admitted to the ideal university as he wished.

Now, he works in a well-known consulting company in Jincheng, he starts from the bottom, is diligent, and the company is very optimistic about him.

He also made a girlfriend, named Yaqing, Yaqing is also an employee of their consulting company, just graduated from college this year, very pure, all of a sudden into his eyes, he chased her for half a year, and finally won the heart of the beauty, they decided to hold a wedding on New Year's Day this year, and another month and a half, that is, the National Day holiday, he was preparing to take his girlfriend to meet his father during that period.

It's okay now, Dad is also here to join in the fun, obviously the people who are about to run to the fifth are still married!

In two years, I really didn't know that he would be busy being a grandfather? Or are you busy being a dad? If Dad really wants to get married at this time, wouldn't it be a mess? Their original warm home will surely deteriorate!

So, the father remarried? Who will you marry?

Is it an aunt of his age? Or a beautiful little fox? In these two situations, no matter which one his father chooses, Xin Chen is quite repulsive in his heart.

Oh, he doesn't want his father to remarry, his father's is his and his sister's.

If his father remarries and gives birth to a little seed, he bets that he will pinch him to death. He didn't want to have a brother or sister so young to share his father's love for them.

Besides, if the woman was young enough, wouldn't it be the greatest threat to him, to them? No, he has to stop this from happening, what about my sister? Where's my sister? He had to call his sister immediately, and he didn't know if she knew about it.

He was desperate to hear his sister's thoughts.

So, he opened the phone book, found his sister Xinlei's mobile phone number, and pressed the dial button.

"Sister, are you there? Dad just texted me saying he's getting married, is that true? He asked.

"I guess it's true! I just got a text message from him. Tell us to go back to his wedding, do you think that's possible? Xin Chen. Xin Lei yawned, she worked the night shift last night, working overtime until 3 o'clock in the morning, and she was sleepy at this time!

Yes, she also received a text message from Nian Junhong last night. At that time, she thought someone was funny!

It's been fifteen years, and my father loves their brothers and sisters very much, and never mentions remarriage. Don't be fascinated by any vixen, "Why don't we go back in the next two days, Xin Chen, what do you think?" What's going on with Dad? ”

"Okay, sister, you can make an appointment!"

"Then afternoon! I worked late last night, and you asked me to sleep a little longer, and we set off at half past five in the afternoon, gathering at the old place. It just so happens that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we will go home for a reunion dinner. ”

"It's fine."

The summer is long, and when the day turns to the west, and when the mountain turns into a bright red mouth-watering peach, Xin Chen and Tinglei's BMW drive into the quiet boulevard leading to the Cuibai Garden.

Under the big banyan tree that has grown with them for 20 years and has now grown into a leafy tree, Xin Chen and Xin Lei stopped their BMW, turned off the fire, and Xin Lei took the big bag from the back seat.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when passing by the market, Xinlei made a big purchase.

The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner in Jincheng is the staple food of fried rice noodles. In less than an hour, Xin Lei cooked the meal. Cooking, she has been familiar with her mother since she was a child, and after her mother passed away, for a while, she contracted almost all the housework at home. Now that she is busy with work, it is rare to come back once, and in today's Mid-Autumn Festival, this rather traditional festival, she can be said to have spent some thought.

There, on the side of the villa hall, is their dining room, a full twenty square meters, antique longan wood dining table and chairs, in this long-lost dining room, she seems to be able to hear the joy and laughter of the childhood family, even in the ten years after the death of his mother, Nian Junhong and their brothers and sisters are quite warm.

However, from now on, I'm afraid it's a different scene-

This villa will be taken over by another hostess, and when the new hostess gives birth to a baby, if she is young enough, it is estimated that he and Xin Chen's sister and brother will become outsiders.

She put the prepared dishes on the table one by one, and although the time was in a hurry, the dinner was quite hearty.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, in response to the custom of Cuibai Garden, Xin Lei fried rice noodles, boiled oyster soup, and also lobster, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed abalone, and the most attractive thing is the plate in the center of the table "full of happiness", which is the name that Xin Lei gave to this dish.

"Full of Happiness" is actually a fruit dish that is filled with stalks, small slices of large red watermelons, small oranges, small tomatoes, and so on on a white porcelain plate with beautiful patterns. Every time the family gathers for a meal, this fruit is everyone's favorite.

In addition, Xin Lei also carefully prepared a box of moon cakes, too late to make her own, in fact, her craft of making moon cakes is also on the table, in previous years at home, she would always make a bunch of gifts for the neighbors to taste, this process of making moon cakes, was taught to her by a colleague of hers. She has always been a clever girl, so although she has rarely stayed in her hometown in recent years, in this homeland, as long as she mentions Miss Xinlei, people will give her a thumbs up and praise.

While Xin Lei was busy in the kitchen, Xin Chen was playing a game of chess with Nian Junhong.

What a harmonious picture of family, but now, this beautiful picture is about to be destroyed. It's the woman who is about to walk into this house. Daddy is going to marry the bride, their stepmother! Stepmother!

Stepmother! Growing up, she never thought about what kind of woman this terrible word would be? She didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Oh, she doesn't want this ending, she just wants her father to be with their brother and sister, that's the greatest happiness. Dad was their brother and sister, their late mother's, never another woman - the father of other children, God, she refused to accept such a change.

"It's time to eat, Dad, Xin Chen. Let's eat it while it's hot! Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dad, don't you want to spend it with us? She said something, and Nian Junhong couldn't help but be stunned, what's wrong with this girl today? Talking strangely, this little hedgehog, what is going on in his heart again.

"Xin Chen, let's go over for dinner!" Nian Junhong turned to his son, "It's rare that you came back today to spend the holiday with me, I thought that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival would be spent alone by me, but seeing that you all rushed back, it was really heartfelt." ”

After saying that, Nian Junhong went to the storage room in the back room, took a bottle of wine from the Silver Kingdom, and three goblets, he washed the goblet, and then skillfully unscrewed the cork of the bottle, and poured a small half cup in each of the three goblets: "Come, children, toast to our festival." With that, he took the glass and drank the wine from it.

"Dad, what's the message you sent us last night?" Xin Lei took a sip of wine and couldn't wait to open her mouth, "Dad, do you really want to remarry?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to have a wedding next week. Isn't it a little faster? Nian Junhong looked at his pair of children with a smile, oh, they have finally grown up, the daughter has her own small family, and the son is said to have a girlfriend, who will be brought back to him soon. Well, his task is complete, he is worthy of this pair of children, and it is time to find his own happiness.

"It's faster." Xin Chen responded.

"Tell me about it." Nian Junhong took a sip of wine.

"Dad, we haven't seen your bride yet, and I don't know if it will cause us bad in the future." Xin Lei is a straight intestine.

"It's nice that you don't bother her." Nian Junhong glanced at his daughter, his eyes were full of love, "Don't worry, Menghan is an honest girl." She's about your age, and she'll be with you soon. ”

"About the same age as us." Xin Chen and Xin Lei were startled at the same time, "Dad, you found us such a young stepmother, what should we call her in the future?" ”

"Call it whatever you want! It's okay to call it by name. ”

"Dad, do you want to have another child?" Xin Chen asked. Dad married such a young stepmother, the probability of having another child is quite high. If a child is really born, wouldn't it be a joke for the whole village?

At that time, my sister will also give birth to a child, and my sister is currently pregnant, so he should be getting married this year! If he and Yaqing don't have an accident, they also plan to have a doll next year, and if Dad also has a little kid here, when the time comes, Dad will be a grandfather, or a father again.

Oh, if this is really what is expected, then wouldn't it be a cheat?

Nian Junhong put down his chopsticks, he picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and looked thoughtfully at the pair of children in front of him. Could it be that his child will have selfish intentions and will not let him have another child. They have grown up, their daughter is married, they will soon have their own baby, and their son has also found a partner, in the future, his children will be busy in their own small family, he is not unseen, in this Cuibai Garden, there are many left-behind old people, he does not want to follow in their footsteps, he wants to let his future life, live less lonely.

Since the children worked, they rarely came back to this home, and although they repeatedly asked themselves to move in with them, the children's world, he could not get along with them.

It had been a while since he had the idea of remarrying, especially when he met the girl Menghan, and the idea in his heart intensified.

Was that girl the one who attracted him? Perhaps! However, the gentleness of the moment when she was silent and bowed her head was so much like that of his young wife that he quickly fell into it.

Oh, Menghan, is she a gift from heaven? He sometimes superstitiously thinks that Menghan is the reincarnation of his wife who will be with him for the rest of his life.

"If you want children, put it aside for the time being! Dad, it's enough to have the two of you. Nian Junhong picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine.

The scene of the wife's pregnancy with three children before her death resurfaced in front of her eyes, and she was obviously going to give birth smoothly, but how could she change her mind when she entered the delivery room! Amniotic fluid embolism, what a terrible birth accident! He didn't want such a tragedy to happen again in his current family, he didn't want it.

Even if his future wife, Menghan, was so young, he still had palpitations when he remembered the scene that happened many years ago, oh, he didn't want that tragedy to happen again.

When his wife gave birth to her third child, she was not more than 35 years old, and strictly speaking, she was not considered an advanced maternal age. Now that Menghan is by his side, as a partner who accompanies him for the rest of his life, he will never allow similar accidents to happen again, and he can no longer withstand such a blow.

Menghan, this young and beautiful woman. There were so many similarities with his deceased wife: the way she spoke, the way she ate, and even the way she looked at him, very much like that of his young wife.

It's incredible, it's not so much that Menghan looks like his young wife, but rather that Menghan is a copy of his young wife. There is such a coincidence in the world, how unfortunate is his age! In this way, he will cherish this new wife even more - even if she may have been in love!

"Dad, don't you really want to get your new mother pregnant?" Xin Lei asked in disbelief.

"Yes, no, no, no. I am sure and I do not want it by all means. Now you can rest assured! Nian Junhong put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in his mouth, chewed it, and said vigorously, he couldn't help but admire, "Lei Lei, your cooking skills have improved again, I have a good taste today." By the way, my wedding, you two brothers and sisters will see if you want to take a leave of absence and come back. ”

"Dad, I'm busy as a nurse, I went on a trip to Mingguo last month, and I spent almost all the holidays on the annual holiday, I'm afraid I won't have time at that time, I'm sorry." Xin Lei stuck out her tongue at her father.

"I may not be able to come, the consulting company has recently received a large order, and I, as one of the backbones, am afraid that I will not be able to withdraw when the time comes." Xin Chen glanced at his sister, and then looked at Nian Junhong hesitantly, with apologies written in his eyes.

"Alright then, go ahead of your business! I don't want to make my second marriage too grand, so I just invite a few relatives and friends to come and sit down. You two can go to your class with confidence! ”

Nian Junhong sighed, these two children have a few roundworms in their stomachs, how could he not know, let them go.
