Maybe this gaze is no longer all warm kindness for my mother compared to before, and I don't know if my mother can understand the secret, but when my mother met with that short-sighted soldier, she was indeed stunned.

In this way, when the surroundings were flustered by Fang Cai's accident, Mother and Aunt Qin quietly tasted each other's inner complexities in the endless noise around them. And I, on the sidelines, is like an audience forced to watch a play, whether I like it or not, I can be there.

After some hecticism, the uncle took the lead in standing up: "It's almost okay, leave the rest to Mother Wu to clean up." The meals are on the table, come and eat. With that, he walked to the table. Cao Ge also pulled his mother, and when her mother went around the sofa, she almost hit the side dining room guardrail.

In this short period of time, the psychological changes of both mother and Aunt Qin happened too quickly, especially the mother, who panicked.

After sitting down, the uncle opened a bottle of red wine: "I said Cao Mu, this is obviously a dinner for you, why did I become the hero." Haha, this is really a drama of life, could it be that today I am specially given a protagonist to be a good taste? ”

The uncle's tone of voice was very relaxed, but the father's brows never stretched.

After the red wine opened, Cao Ge snatched it? "Sister, I'll pour you a little bit of a red bar, and toss you all the way to cheer everyone up, besides, how about this glass also count as my apprentice wine?" ”

"No, no, no, I can't drink."

"Rong Jiao'er, I remember that you were able to drink before? Do you remember when we had dinner together? Even before I studied abroad, you and Cao Mu both drank too much. I drank a lot, but I was still okay with the amount of alcohol. A little red wine should not be a big deal for you. ”

"Drink some, it's not that you can't drink it, didn't Xue Hao say it, my sister was able to drink before."

"It's not just that you can drink, you can drink a lot of serious things." Xue Hao still didn't give up, and his mother kept refusing.

"If you don't drink it, don't drink it, just came out of the hospital."

"yes!" Xue Hao patted his head: "I actually forgot about this!" I'm sorry. Rong Jiao'er, what do you drink? Drink juice, eh, or water? ”

"Water is fine, water is fine."

"Xiaoqin?" Zhang Jing suddenly evoked Aunt Qin's name: "What are you thinking?" I don't think I heard you in a while. What happened to you? Uncomfortable? ”

"Oh, no. Maybe it's because my legs and feet can't work these days, and I'm dizzy from taking medicine. Plus this autumn is not cool either. Leave me alone, you eat yours. ”

"How can you still be dizzy when you take blood-invigorating medicine? Sister-in-law, I see that you haven't been feeling very good lately. This Cao Mu's matter has been resolved, you should be happy. Xue Hao said while pouring a little juice for Aunt Qin.

"I'm happy! Isn't it a sprained foot! Aunt Qin smiled and took the cup handed over by Xue Hao.

"Well, too, this twisting foot is not a trivial matter. It's hard to sit like this every day. Xue Hao sighed.

Wu's mother handed over a glass of water at this time and put it in front of her mother. Mother took the water, turned around and smiled at Wu's mother, Wu's mother nodded her head as a return gift, and then retreated. During the banquet, the uncle ate two mouthfuls of food, and then put down his chopsticks: "Eh, Xue Hao, have you gotten any news that there is a demolition plan for that part of the plum garden?" ”

"Plum Garden?" Xue Hao asked in surprise. "I didn't pay attention, what's wrong, big brother?"

"Oh, it's the area where Mu Xi's mother lives." Uncle returned.

"Rong Jiao'er's house? Meiyuan does have a plan to demolish it, but as far as I know, the street where Rong Jiaoer lives has not been included in the demolition area so far. Moreover, it is estimated that it will not be demolished within a few years, after all, it is planned by the state, if it can be demolished together, why spend so much manpower, material and financial resources. Why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

"Didn't I go to Mu Xi's mother's house yesterday to invite her, when I looked, I heard rumors of demolition in that building, and they were almost moved."

"Oh. Rong Jiao'er, don't worry, wait for me to go to the unit tomorrow to ask you, and give you a letter when the time comes. If there is, it is too late to move, or not, we don't have to toss. ”

Mother smiled and thanked Xue Hao.

"Yo! Xue Hao, how do you remember your sister's home so clearly? Cao Ge asked Xue Hao with a grin.

"Clear? It's normal! I, your second brother and Rong Jiao'er have known each other for many years, although it is not the kind that is particularly close, but we have often eaten together in those years, and I think this relationship is okay. Besides, the theater is at the mouth of her alley, and Cao Mu and I have sent her home, after all, sometimes the theater closes late. ”

"You say, you and my second brother are not a few years old, why do you think my second brother can't remember where my sister's house is?"

"Can't remember Rong Jiao'er's home? Impossible! Hey, Cao Mu, you don't have old eyes and faint, why can't you remember where Rong Jiao'er's home is? Haven't you sent Rong Jiao'er home several times and then threw me down? ”

The father held the chopsticks in his hand and kept his head down in silence. was also silent, as well as Aunt Qin, who was sitting next to her father. This topic became more and more explicit the more they talked, and for Xue Hao and Cao Ge, the tone of the conversation was very relaxed. They didn't seem to feel the abnormality of the atmosphere in this space, so they kept talking and asking, and this question and answer actually moved out a lot of information.

"Xue Hao, eat, eat." Grandma asked Xue Hao to eat on the side, in my opinion, this grandma's intention should also be to block Xue Hao's mouth from eating, after all, as a grandmother, there are still certain obstacles in the communication between her and Cao Ge, so it is better to go directly to Cao Ge and Xue Hao to talk, and don't continue this topic.

At this dinner table, there was a lot of interest on this topic, in addition to the two of them, there was another person, but Zhang Jing.

"Eh, Xue Hao, when you met Rong Jiao'er, did your sister get married?" Xue Hao glanced sideways at his mother. The mother kept her head down and chewed in her mouth, like a robot.

As a result, just like that, a very embarrassing scene happened. The mother wanted to preemptively say that she was married in front of Xue Hao, but Xue Hao and her mother's tone speed took the first place in a tie, and the two of them spoke almost in unison.

"Married."

"Not married."

The two voices collided in the air at the time. I found that there were crackling sparks. Yes, in fact, many times in our lives, listening to the curiosity of people with intentions, always want to spy on other people's secrets, especially when the other party's secrets may have something to do with themselves. Then, this curiosity will prompt him to explore the truth again and again.

Just like later, although I didn't study well, I also knew that in planting politics, there is such a sentence, that is, truth is an unchanging truth of human beings. Indeed it is. When these two sentences came together, everyone in the room was petrified. In an instant, the originally slightly relaxed atmosphere suddenly came to an abrupt end.

I saw the corners of Zhang Jing's mouth go up: "Is it a knot or no knot?" ”

In fact, Zhang Jing is not a good believer, but unfortunately the amount of information is too large, she is not interested in my mother, she is curious about my father Cao Mu. I don't know where this curiosity is, maybe she thinks that in her father's life, she is her father's favorite, although she did not live with her father in the end, but as a woman's vanity and self-satisfaction, she needs to have such a man by her side for the rest of her life, and everyone in the world puts her first in her heart. At least that's what she thinks.

And one day, she suddenly found that the person who kept saying that he loved her to the bone had his emotional life not as pure as she imagined, and he loved her here, married someone else there, and even could be messed with outside at the same time, then, what is true love for this person? Although the word true love is put in quotation marks between them, and for the father and Zhang Jing, the word is no longer worthy of it, but the species of women, among which there will be such a type of people, is like this. She needs others to give her affirmation and a sense of need, she needs to complete the analysis of self-worth, that's all.

Zhang Jing's rhetorical question, Xue Hao was interested. Xue Hao tilted his head and looked at his mother: "Are you married?" You're not married, are you? Immediately, he turned his head to the other side: "Sister-in-law, why didn't I find out before?" I have the impression that you were not a person who liked to inquire about other people's daily affairs before, why did you come back this time and find that you are not the same as before? ”

"Hehe, it's not an inquiry, I just think it's curious."

"Well, I'm curious when you say that. Rong Jiao'er, what year did you get married? ”

"Mu Xi, how old are you this year?" Zhang Jing leaned back, glanced at me over the backs of the two people in the middle, turned around and said, "Mu Xi is two years younger than Cancan. Ten years old. "Ten years old? Ten years ago? Plus pregnant, Rong Jiao'er, you shouldn't have been sick and confused a few days ago, right? So, where did you get married then? But it's also quite interesting, I calculated it a little further, the year you got pregnant should have been when I moved here, and there were indeed fewer contacts that year, and I should have been abroad back then. Huh? So to put it this way, you had already given birth when I came back? After all, I didn't stay abroad for long, only a year and three months. After I came back, we met and had dinner, and you never told me that you were married. No wonder, the last time I saw you with a child at Cao's house, I thought it was weird. Feed! Cao Mu! What happened when I went abroad? Rong Jiao'er got married and had children, don't tell me, you don't know?! Oops, I'm all caught up in myself right now. ”

Mother's head lowered even deeper. I knew that my mother was afraid to look up and see the curious interrogating glances of the many people on the other side. So she could only choose to remain silent.

Because, with such a semi-informed person sitting next to her, she really would be exposed every minute if she lied.

Mother is not a smart person, and her mind will not be like any author who writes a book, who can freely sketch a bloody plot that is vivid and close to reality. There's no way she's talking nonsense. Taking a step back, at that time, even a person with an incomparable head of the consulate would not be able to make up a high-sounding reason without asking on the spot.

However, what made me feel ridiculous was that in the face of the Cao family's questioning and aggressiveness, my father sat by me like a mute and remained silent. He wasn't deaf, and I don't know what his state of mind meant to this cheap relationship when that voice reached my father's ears! This kind of persecution is really no different from skinning alive.

But what about the father? As a dignified man, as a moral and ethical husband, as a father in terms of heaven, he sat next to him like a transparent person, as if he had nothing to do with him, and he should eat and drink.

Who is he at this huge dinner table?

has her own legal wife, her own two biological daughters, and such a woman who can be flirted with in order to heal her emotional wounds. Even though he doesn't love these people, I ask myself, what does it matter if I love or not to love in this way? This is the absence of a person's basic emotions and a manifestation of selfishness.

Family affection cannot be broken.

From the perspective of family affection, can a person be indifferent when he sees his relatives being mentally devastated and tormented?! Then this person really doesn't deserve to be pampered and paid for by family affection.

I was young at the time, so I just sat and watched my father's actions. Although there is some anger, it is not to the level of hatred. And Fang Cai's criticism of him was also a later conclusion.

If the world is divided into many social groups, what is the largest group? It's the audience who eats melons.

When nothing happens to them, too many people like to hang up high and watch the excitement of watching everything that happens to the life of the person next to them. In fact, it is not the fault of man, but the fault of social conscience.

Sitting across from me was my mother, and when I saw Zhang Jing put down her chopsticks and wanted to open her mouth again, I especially wanted to rush over to protect my mother, even if it was just to take a vajra cover, cover it, and be temporarily isolated from the world. At least, I don't want her to be hurt again.

It's a pity that I don't have a vajra cover, and even if I did, I knew that at that time, in addition to feeling sorry for my mother in my heart, I was still short-handed.

The mother suddenly trembled, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a click. Xue Hao hurriedly put his hand on his mother's shoulder: "Rong Jiao'er, what's wrong with you?" What happened to you? Don't scare me! The mother's face suddenly turned very bad, and she put her hand on her forehead and shook her head gently.

Cao Ge stood up: "Otherwise, go to the hospital!" How can this work? "I'm going to get up. As a result, the mother seemed to use all her strength to slap the table: "No. Although these two words sounded weak, the tone was very affirmative, that is, to tell Cao Ge that he didn't have to go to the hospital.
