Chapter 102: Thirty Years Ago
Father's weight is nothing in Mei Tian's eyes, and he can be carried home by his hand, even if he carries it on his shoulders, but seeing their ridicule, it is the dignity that he can't lift when he falls to the ground.
The father who vomited on the ground did not wake up, and the clean clothes he had just changed into today were also a mess, so he helped him to leave, and looked back at his grandfather, he was still indifferent, and the matter of the ancestral house made him feel cold.
After leaving with Mei's father on his back, maybe it was the discomfort of walking bumpy, so that he fell off Meitian's back halfway, lying on the ground and vomiting, it is indeed difficult for people who drink too much to clean up, it is difficult to settle safely with his physical strength, and take him back to his home for several miles, Mei's mother is worried about the father and son, wandering here with a flashlight, accompanied by Su Muzuo, as she expected, she found the drunk father and son on the way, Mei's father drank until he couldn't tell the direction, but when he heard Mei's mother's voice, he howled and cried, This is already a fifty-year-old who is approaching the age of sixties, which shows how much pain he has endured in his heart, even if he doesn't say a word, Mei's mother can feel it, and secretly hide and wipe her tears. Mei Tian was also sad when she saw it, the family has been living in a shadow of grief, what harmed them was thirty years ago, and no one knew what happened.
The next day, maybe because of a little wine, Mei Tian finally fell asleep, and when she woke up, she still saw her mother busy at home, except for the diligent Su Mu getting up to wash and comb, they were still asleep in their dreams, maybe they were just taking the matter of opening the score as an excuse, in order to give themselves a relaxing vacation, and when the day was over, they all began to be busy with their own things, and it was better to be comfortable here wherever they went, and the family could be satisfied if they didn't feel emotions outside.
Mother has never had any hobbies, but loves flowers and plants, their home with a high courtyard wall to isolate the world's vision, knowing that mother likes to plant flowers and plants, so they deliberately built a yard, there is enough space to plant what she likes, and they do not want to let people outside see it, so as not to pick it maliciously. Although it is the new year, the weather is still cold, when the sun has not risen, the frost and dew will freeze to form ice skates, fall and even break weak flower branches, Mei Mu has always been careful to take care of, but after they come back, the flowers and plants are not so careful, for the family to eat and drink busy. In the morning, when he had nothing to do, he went to clean it up, so that the branches would not break and destroy the beauty of the flowers and plants, and when the weather was warm, it would be a fairyland garden full of flowers.
The ice skates formed on the flowers and plants are like pearls, very good-looking, he carefully picked some of the pearl stone appearances, thinking that he can share the simple joy with Su Mu, just picked a few, stepped on the damp soil from the flowers and plants, but heard someone outside the courtyard say sternly: "Playthings are demoralized, the old man should start a family, not with flowers and plants." ”
Mei Tian, who didn't pay attention, really noticed that someone was looking at him outside, and when he came back to his senses, he saw an old man with gray hair staring at him on crutches, revealing a look of extreme dissatisfaction with him, maybe he was relatively unfamiliar with this person, but his eyes were ingrained in his mind, and the person who came was his grandfather, accusing him as an elder.
His appearance surprised everyone, but Mei Tian didn't want to deal with him, I don't know if he came when he wasn't at home, but it was the first time that he could stand in front of the house with him at the same time.
"It's inconvenient to see the old man, shouldn't you help me in and sit down?" Seeing that Mei Tian's attitude was not enthusiastic about him, he asked.
With his character, it is really difficult to contact such a self-righteous grandfather, and he pretends to be a high-minded person, and he can walk here alone, which means that his body can still support him to walk into the house from the courtyard gate.
"I can't be the master." Mei Tian's hatred for this grandfather is not a star, and it is difficult to respond to him with a good tone.
"A man is thirty years old, and now he doesn't have to bear a little more burden, so what is the point of going in the future?"
Listening to the tone of what the old man said, it was this feeling of being incompatible, and the two of them couldn't talk about it at all.
"Thank you so much for remembering that I'm Chinese New Year's Eve today." Mei Tian said angrily, and gave him two sentences, so angry that he didn't even want to eat breakfast anymore.
Fortunately, Su Mu appeared in time to relieve the siege, and took the initiative to welcome the old man into the house to sit, at this time, Father Mei should have been poured too much wine yesterday, and when he learned that his father was coming, he came to his father unkempt, and was polite with tea and water.
But I saw the old man lose his temper: "No wonder my son is not promising, as Lao Tzu's three poles on the sun, he is still hiding in the bed, which is really unfortunate for the family." ”
His temper brought everyone in the family together, and when he learned that he was coming, even Mei's mother didn't dare to slack off, and she came from the back kitchen to listen to his lecture, and she was never pressured by this father-in-law, she was afraid and didn't dare to sit in front of him anymore, standing there with her head down.
Under his reprimand, Mei's father did not dare to breathe, maybe in his opinion, it is a kind of happiness to be educated by his father for such a long time, but he is happy, but the only person who is dissatisfied may be Mei Tian himself, he complains when he looks like he shows off his might, but he can't forget what his father said to him, and it is a big rebellion to talk back to him, only to stand in front of the door and watch the rising sun.
After the temper was over, the old man was also comfortable, leaving aside Mei's father and Mei's mother, he began to look at the guests from the house, and for the gentle and virtuous Su Mu, she still met her standards as a granddaughter-in-law, but she wore a mask to cover her face for some reason, and asked harshly: "Are today's girls disrespectful?" When I see my elders, I don't look at people head-on. ”
Hearing what he said, Su Mu was also panicked, Mei's father and Mei's mother didn't care, and they had already understood, but the head of the family in front of him was really inappropriate to look like this, and he replied nervously: "Grandpa, I am suffering from a stubborn illness and can't take off my mask, please forgive me." ”
"Since you are a guest, I respect you, but as far as I am concerned, you juniors should not have such a concealment in front of me." The old man said unrelentingly.
"But ......"
Before Su Mu finished speaking, he interrupted: "At my age, I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, in terms of seniority, you shouldn't disobey me." ”
His attitude of relying on the old and selling the old is really arrogant, which means nothing more than to check for his grandson, to see if he meets the conditions of his granddaughter-in-law, not necessarily the country's beauty, but at least he has to have good facial features, or how to face outsiders when he gets married in the future, in his opinion, one of these two girls will definitely become his granddaughter-in-law, he is going to do this thing in advance now, while he is still alive in the world.
At this time, even Father Mei couldn't interject, and he had seen it when the old man's temper was strong.
Chu Jun saw that he was deliberately making things difficult, so he stepped forward to relieve the siege: "Old man Mei, we are just here to be a guest at home, if your old man is not happy, we can also leave first." ”
At this time, if anyone speaks, it is tantamount to opposing him, seeing a man who is like Mei Tian speaking, or threatening to leave, he is unhappy: "You and her are husband and wife?" ”
"No, we and Mei Tian have known each other for a long time, maybe the old man has a certain misunderstanding about us." Chu Jun seemed to have estimated his guess, but after all, he was an elder in the family, so he didn't offend too much.
"Since it's not a husband and wife, it's good, when I drink and talk to others, you should choose to listen respectfully, I have my own intentions." The old man said with a slight smugness.
"No, we choose respect over forbearance." Being polite to this unreasonable old man is also a face, if he continues to do so, he would rather choose not to come to the house as a guest in the future.
Father Mei saw that Chu Jun's tone also became stiff, so he hurriedly said: "They are all partners who work together in Jiangcheng, and my father must be mindful." ”
The old man heard what he said, so he should have found a step down, and he inquired a lot, but he didn't hear how much Mei Tian had done, but he heard that the Zhang family child in the village had something to do in Jiangcheng: "You are the partner of the Zhang family's child, I heard that you have a lot of business to do, and you are young and promising." ”
"It's a collaboration before." Chu Jun was reluctant to mention his relationship with Zhang Wen and refused to have too much friendship with him.
"The afterlife is terrifying, and right and wrong are clear." He was very satisfied with Chu Jun's answer, in his impression, that Zhang Jia's little erlang was just a mediocre talent with mediocre qualifications, if Mei Tian had his own teaching, he might be better than him, and he could give up his relationship with him, and have a close relationship with his grandson, and he would definitely be Mei Tian's right-hand man in the future. It's just that this kind of thing shouldn't be said, you can only blame Mei Tian for not being angry, and it has become news to shame the family, although it was proved innocent later, but there are different opinions, and it is difficult to wash it clean.
Chu Jun's face has changed greatly, and then look at the future, this girl is delicate, and a spirit is revealed from between her eyebrows, it can be seen that she should be the youngest, and she will be even better in a few years, but now her habit of being uncertain and playful has not changed, but as her grandson's wife who has not done anything, it is more than enough.
"I heard that you have made a big show of asking people to give gifts, so that everyone knows about it, but I don't know where you were born? Who are the parents? ”
has always been a deviant general, in the face of such an old man, he knows very well how to contact, just say something he likes to hear, she didn't plan to marry Mei Tianzhen, just talking, so she lied that she was born in the imperial capital, her parents are the backbone of relevant important departments, and the family has both money and status. The old man's eyes lit up, and he decided that she was his favorite granddaughter-in-law, and his words began to have a flattering meaning.
Seeing that he was playing tricks and it was difficult to debunk it, she had to come to Hu Lai, and for the grandfather of this frog at the bottom of the well, maybe the only one who could please him was Jiang Li.
