Zhou Yu ran to a boutique supermarket and brought out several gift boxes, which I knew were worth a lot of money. But I don't think there's anything, he really should buy something for his mother to do his filial piety, when he was a child, he was like another member of the family, eating and drinking at my house. Now that I have become a son-in-law and the Chinese New Year, it is understandable to buy some expensive supplements for my mother.

I thought I was going straight to my mother, but unexpectedly he drove somewhere else and asked me to wait in the car somewhere, and he went down by himself. After a while he came back with two more bags in his hand, and I asked him what they were, and he said, "Buy some bird's nest." The products sold in the mall have been post-processed and have a lot of additives, which are specially brought by friends when they go to Hong Kong. ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at him suspiciously: "When did you let someone take it?" ”

"For a while, I heard them say that it is very good for women to eat bird's nest, so I let them take it a long time ago, and I never came to get it. I took this opportunity to bring it, one bag for you, and one bag for your mother to eat. If you eat well, I'll let someone else bring it later. ”

There are also people around me who are eating and have recommended it to me. But I don't know how to get it, and I think it's too luxurious to eat. It is estimated that the two bags mentioned by Zhou Yu cost a lot of money, and it is too strange to talk to him about money, and I feel warm in my heart.

It was only nine o'clock when I came to my mother, and my mother was waiting for us at home. She went to buy vegetables early in the morning and was chopping vegetables in the kitchen to make fillings. Seeing that Zhou Yu was carrying so many things, he complained about what he bought when he came home, but his face bloomed with a smile.

In fact, my mother became less tough after my father left, and some things may be seen away, and gradually I won't be too entangled. I opened the kitchen door and asked her if she wanted to help chop the vegetables, and Zhou Yu snorted softly behind her: "Mom, don't pay attention to her." As far as she is still chopping vegetables, chopping her fingers is almost the same, you can see that the knife cut when she wanted to eat wonton chopping vegetables on a whim last time has not been complete for more than a month. ”

My mother didn't know about this, and when she heard it, she became nervous: "What's the matter?" How can you chop a vegetable and still hurt your fingers? Did you go to the hospital? What do doctors say? ”

"The doctor said that the blood vessel was broken and that it could no longer touch the wound. She was fine, she hurt again at every turn, and she went to the hospital several times. ”

I'm full of black lines, Zhou Yu turned last night's anger into bitter water and complained to my mother.

My mother looked at my fingers wrapped in gauze and said angrily: "This kid is careless in doing things." That's why I wouldn't let her cook, and every time I made an order, she would get a moth. If you want to eat wontons in the future, call me, and if you don't have time to come back and get it, I'll send it to you, how far is it, how long can it take you to run. ”

In my heart, my mother used this to complain that I hadn't come back for too long.

I said, "Then I will come back twice in three days to eat, don't bother me." ”

"You can come back, just make a phone call in advance, and I'll prepare the food."

Zhou Yu smiled: "Then I'm blessed, I don't have to eat Jia Xiaoru's dark food." ”

I turned my head and raised my eyebrows, "Why is it dark cooking?" Why don't you say it when you eat? Don't you still eat all the dishes? ”

He deliberately looked up at the sky, and replied to me locally: "I'm afraid that if I say this, I won't have a meal." ”

I angrily twisted the soft flesh around his waist, and he bared his teeth at me.

In addition to the wontons, my mother also bought a lot of cooked vegetables and steamed a sea bass, which filled the table with dishes.

The old mother took out a bottle of rice wine and said with a smile: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let's have a drink." ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "Mom, I'm going to drive, don't drink." ”

My mother was stunned, "Where else do you want to go when you come back?" ”

Zhou Yu came to see me, and I silently spoke: "Mom, don't ask him to drink, he is a person who pours a glass." I'll drink with you. ”

The conversation was over, and my mother didn't think much about it, so she took a cup and poured two glasses, one for me and one for herself.

I don't have to worry about the atmosphere at the table, with Zhou Yu here, I can always find something common with my mother. But halfway through the meal, he was interrupted by his phone, he took the phone and looked at it, and smiled and told his mother to go out to answer the phone.

I can see clearly that it is a call from his eldest Zhou Nian, and I am afraid that he is looking for him.

After a while, Zhou Yu came back, didn't mention anything, and continued to talk to his mother. I don't know if it's my delusion, but this time I seem to be in a very good mood when I come back to see my mother, and I smile a lot, and my eyebrows are full of joy.

After the meal, my mother brought melon seeds out for us to eat, as well as fruit bowls such as orange pistachios, which are usually used in the New Year at home.

I found that Zhou Yu was uneasy, pretending not to pay attention to go to the kitchen to talk to my mother, my mother glanced out of the kitchen, and when she saw that Zhou Yu didn't come, she asked in a low voice: "What does he say at home during the Chinese New Year?" ”

I thought for a while and said, "His eldest brother and second brother are here, and it is estimated that he will have to go back in a while." ”

The old mother showed a sudden expression, "No wonder Xiao Yu refuses to drink." ”

I smiled and put my arm around my mother's shoulder, "With me at home with you, is it possible that you dislike me." ”

"Go, I'm so old and still come to be coquettish with me, I'm not ashamed."

I cheekily said, "What's there to be ashamed of, you're my mother, and you'll be for the rest of your life." ”

My mother nodded my forehead, and there was more love in her eyes: "You." ”

In the afternoon, my mother went out to buy things for the evening, Zhou Yu came to ask me when I would go back, I lowered my eyes and said, "If you have something to do, go back, I will stay here tonight." ”

The space was silent for two seconds before Zhou Yu asked, "Aren't you going back with me?" ”

I raised my eyes to look at him, "Zhou Gongjin, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I spent years ago until yesterday's Chinese New Year's Eve at your house, my mother is alone, always let me stay at home to accompany you." ”

"However, the family has prepared things for the evening, and the queen mother and the old man are also urging us to go back early."

I asked him, "How did you celebrate the New Year before?" Is it a person? ”

He was stunned, but he didn't expect me to suddenly have this question, and his eyes flashed and he replied: "Usually I fly to the United States to spend time with them, but I didn't go there last year, and I spent it with my friends." ”

At this time, I didn't see what was flashing in his eyes, but he smiled and said, "Look, you will also go to your family and friends during the Chinese New Year, but my mother only has my daughter, and you let me go back with you, how desolate and lonely will she be to sit alone in the house?" ”

Zhou Yu looked at me, his eyes gradually sank, "Did you plan to come back early in the morning and not leave?" ”

I don't deny it: "Yes, I had planned to do so a long time ago." ”

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Didn't you plan to come after saying it in advance?" I asked him rhetorically.

Seeing a pain in those black eyes, he already spoke in a bad tone: "Jia Xiaoru, if you want to come back, will I say no?" You keep saying that your mother spends Chinese New Year's Eve alone, but do you treat me as a man in this family and respect my opinion? ”

"Your opinion? Will you leave your parents over there and stay with my mother for this Chinese New Year's Eve? I asked quietly.

He was silent, and I couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, turned my eyes away and whispered in my heart: "Zhou Gongjin, in order to deal with your parents and your family these days, I am really tired, let me accompany my mother tonight to spend this Chinese New Year's Eve quietly, okay?" If you want to stay, my mother and I are absolutely welcome, but please don't tell my mother that your parents have returned to China. If you want to go back, I can understand that, after all, your whole family is waiting for you. ”

Zhou Yu suddenly laughed, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "Jia Xiaoru, you seem to have given me two choices in an empathetic way, but do I have a choice?" But if I leave here today, I'm afraid that you will have another pimple in your heart, and one day you will turn it over and criticize me as useless. You are always like this, your heart is like a stone, no matter how much I cover it, it can't be warm, and it finally softens a little, and it will suddenly harden. ”

There were times when I felt like a hedgehog, I would hide my thorns carefully, and when I sensed danger, I would erect thorns all over my body, so as to protect myself from the sharp knives that hurt people.

At this time, Zhou Yu stirred up the thorns in my body, because he said something I didn't want to admit.

That's right, the choice I gave him seemed to be a double choice question, but in fact, it was a single choice question in my heart, and I would be ecstatic if he was willing to stay, holding this time to learn from Zhou Liang what he had done for me in the past, and laughing to the dream; But if he leaves, those things may not be erased, but how warm he felt at the time, how cool he felt at this time.

I will definitely keep a pimple in my heart, and it is very likely that when he quarrels or turns his face one day, as he said, I will take it out and count his past "crimes". In fact, Zhou Yu knows me even more thoroughly than myself, and I am transparent on his side.

But shouldn't he say that my heart is like a stone, how many times has he softened for him, and lowered his posture for him to cater to his family?

I squinted my eyes, and my voice was cold: "Zhou Gongjin, whose heart is not made of stone at the beginning, it will harden because of the tempering of life, more precisely, persecution." It's reality that leaves it without a choice. ”

After a pause, he said, "There may be one thing that you already understand, but you just pretend not to know." The difference between me and you in the meaning of the family is that when you come here, my mother takes you as a son-in-law and half a son; And I'm on your side, and your family treats me as an outsider, as an intervener. This is the difference in our essential sense. When my nerves are too tight and I need to relax, I really can't always keep a low profile to cater to others, even your parents. ”

The way he looked at me became very complicated, I was afraid that I didn't expect me to point out this matter so bluntly, and I couldn't deny it.
