Chapter 17: A Moment of Warmth

I helplessly looked at the grandparents and grandchildren who were fighting hotly, and casually put the gift on the coffee table, but I didn't see Chen's mother, so I turned around and asked Chen's father, "Dad, where is my aunt?" ”

"She spent an afternoon in the kitchen, saying she was going to make you pork ribs and lotus root." Only then did Dad Chen notice the gift I put on the coffee table, and said to me with a straight face, "You don't listen to every time you say it, and we still put it on the last time." ”

"It's all food, it doesn't cost much, you and aunt don't always put it on hold, it's a waste when it expires." I smiled at Dad Chen, "Don't worry, my performance is rising every month, and no matter how much I eat, I can't eat enough." ”

"It's not that she's afraid of eating you, just because you bought it, she is reluctant to eat it." Dad Chen pecked at Nannan's little face again, turned his head to look at my left hand, frowned, and asked with concern, "That kid just told us today that your hand is injured, what's the matter?" ”

"Dad, I just accidentally knocked over the glass bottle and touched it, it's been fine a long time ago, I believe I will be able to drive in a few days." I gestured to Chen's father as if I was hitting the steering wheel, stuck out my tongue, and then couldn't wait to head towards the kitchen in the backyard.

When I was in the living room, I smelled the fragrance of lotus root wafting from the kitchen, and the pork rib lotus root soup was my favorite soup, not one of them.

If the lotus root is stir-fried, it can be served in the pot for a while, crisp and delicious, but if you boil the soup, it is quite time-consuming, but Chen's mother knows my preferences, and every time I come over, she will boil the soup in advance and wait for my arrival.

Mother Chen didn't hear the sound of me and Nan Nan coming, she was still busy in the kitchen alone, looking at her slightly blessed back, my heart was warm, and my eyes were a little astringent.

I looked at her back stupidly, feeling this warm moment, but sighed in my mind, if my mother was here, would it be such a slightly blessed back?

"Auntie!" After staring at Mother Chen for a long time, I quietly hugged her from behind, and leaned my head on her shoulder, "Frankly lenient, do you want me more, or do you want to be more?" ”

"Is there a difference?" The old lady suddenly felt a tightness in her waist, and immediately replied in surprise, and after a few seconds, she lowered her head sharply, and then she heard her screaming loudly, grabbing my bandaged left hand, and exclaiming, "This dead boy, and said that it was just a small wound, and this hand is wrapped like a dumpling, see if I will clean him up later." ”

"Mom, your son finally went home, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard you say that he wanted to clean up people, who is so unlucky?" As soon as Chen's mother's words fell, she heard Chen Chen's voice talking dissatisfiedly to the kitchen.

"Hey, hey! It's really not the right time for you to scold, and then someone will say that you are always eccentric. I looked at the old lady with a smile on my face.

"Don't gloat at me, and the next time he bullies you, see if I can help you." Chen's mother nodded my forehead, laughing and scolding.

"I surrender, can't I always be close to you?" The old lady's trick really worked, and I immediately surrendered and behaved.

As the so-called one thing descends one thing, I have been happy and afraid of Chen Chen since I was a child, and Chen Chen has avoided Chen's mother's lion roar and tight mantra, so in this family that is lively on the surface, but actually happy and harmonious, Chen's mother is the master.

In the process of growing up, Chen Chen had fought against the old man several times, but he never dared to blush with the old lady, so I can't offend the old lady, otherwise the next time Chen Chen bullies me, she can really stand by and watch.

"Alright, alright, don't get in the way of me here, let's go out and have fun!" Chen's mother laughed and scolded and wanted to push me out of the kitchen, but I followed Chen Chen's usual ruffian image, twisted to both sides, and finally was kicked out of the kitchen by Chen's mother in laughter.

After returning to the living room, I found that Lin Xuan had also come over, and it seemed that today was an auspicious day. I quickly turned around and shouted to the kitchen, "Auntie, Auntie, come out quickly!" ”

Lin Xuan was originally a little nervous, but after seeing me, he was a little more natural, "Shen'er, you have arrived!" ”

"After I picked it up, I took a taxi directly." I stepped forward to hold Lin Xuan and kicked Chen Chen again, "Chen Chen, don't introduce me to my father and aunt." ”

"Oh! Mom, come over here. Chen Chen glanced at me, stepped forward and pulled Chen's mother and Chen's father, who had just entered the living room, to stand together, and then pointed to Lin Xuan and said to the two elders: "Dad, Mom, this is Lin Xuan, who just came back from the UK." ”

The two elders looked at Lin Xuan quietly, and their expressions were quite satisfied.

"Hello uncle and aunt!" Lin Xuan bowed respectfully to the two elders with some nervousness, and then handed over the gift in his hand.

"Lin Xuan, it's good for people to come, what kind of gift do you want to mention?" Chen's mother stepped forward to take the gift and naturally handed it to me, so I had to hurriedly take the gift with one hand and put it on the side of the locker.

"Sit down! Chen Chen, you make tea. After Dad Chen welcomed everyone to the living room and sat down, he began to play with Nan Nan again, Dad Chen loves to drink kung fu tea, but Chen Chen is the same as me, I hate to soak this, I saw him squinting his eyes and expressing dissatisfaction with Dad Chen, so he took the kettle in his hand, "Or I'll come!" ”

"Come on, your hand is still injured, if you come, my parents won't count me, I'm just troublesome, but it doesn't mean that I won't soak." Chen Chen avoided me, sat down in front of the tea house steadily, and began to use the pot to catch water.

"Come, eat." Chen's mother had already brought a bunch of fruits and candies, and while motioning for Lin Xuan to eat with us, she picked two candy corns to tease her, "Nannan, I patronize and play with my grandfather, why don't you ignore my grandmother?" ”

"Grandma, because you are working hard in the kitchen, I can't bear to disturb you." Nan Nan took Chen's mother's candy, held Chen's mother's face with her little hand and took a sip of it, the old lady's heart was suddenly melted, and she hugged Nan Nan tightly in her arms.

"It's not early, you better go to the kitchen and get busy! We won't go back tonight, so let's sleep with the two of us at night! When the time comes, you'll have to hold it. Chen's father said happily to Chen's mother.

"Yes, yes, look at me, I'm a lot older, and I love to have fun." Chen's mother suddenly remembered her 'work', and before going to the kitchen, she pulled me again, "Shen'er, go, go to the kitchen to help Auntie." ”

"Okay." I nodded happily, made a cheering gesture to Lin Xuan, and followed Chen's mother into the kitchen.

"Shen'er, let me ask you, is this Lin Xuan the same Lin Xuan you knew in school before?" As soon as I entered the kitchen, Chen's mother turned her head and quietly looked towards the living room, and asked me anxiously.
