Ninety-four

"Jianyu, are you going back to school in the afternoon, or will you leave tomorrow morning?" At the dining table, Father Tang picked up a piece of shiitake mushrooms and asked casually before eating. Tang Jianyu swallowed a mouthful of chicken soup and pursed his lips and returned: "Let's go after dinner." In fact, there will be no classes at school tomorrow morning, but the school rules that the head teacher must be present at the morning meeting after the holiday. Father Tang nodded, "This has not changed. Help the students bring the soul back, haha. When Dad was teaching on the front line at that time, this was the same practice in school. Tang Jianyu smiled and nodded, "Good traditions are inherited." ”

Mother Tang, who was sitting on the side, felt that she couldn't interject and was anxious on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was worried that the two of them were talking about Li Yaxin's direction, so she hurriedly knocked on the table with her hand and said: "I have forgotten the old rule of 'food is silent, sleep is silent', what are you talking about inheriting traditions?" When the father and son heard this, they both looked at Tang's mother, and Tang's father immediately teased: "Yo, there is still her sitting." I'm afraid people will forget her! Mother Tang rolled her eyes, "You forgot me less!" When Father Tang heard this, he said with a cold face: "You can talk as far as you can." Tang's mother also realized that she was at a loss, and sandwiched a piece of mandarin fish meat for her husband, and said: "I'm not right, I will make amends to you, eat fish and eat fish!" Tang Jianyu lowered his head to eat and laughed quietly.

Tang's father accepted his wife's kindness, and in order to ease the atmosphere, he said: "This year is also strange! Why hasn't this old Guo family come to the house until now? Usually even if it is, she didn't come to the seven-day vacation. In previous years, it was not too old to be killed. This was a common topic, but neither mother nor son answered, Tang's father didn't find anything, and joked with a smile: "It can't be that Jianyu's marriage didn't work out, she's embarrassed, right?" This sister-in-law Guo is really, it seems that our Director Yao is so open-minded! ”

"And this old Guo, I called him a few times to come and go to the painting and calligraphy institute together. He talked to me about foreign sex, saying that he was led by his son to learn little white ball, and now he is addicted, and now he doesn't want to go anywhere except the court. When Tang Jianyu heard this, it was true that he wanted to come to Uncle Guo to learn to play golf, and it was also true that Aunt Guo was hiding from his mother.

Tang Jianyu was just about to open his mouth to answer, but was stopped by a sigh from Tang's mother, Tang's mother glanced at her son quietly, and said with the afterglow of the sigh just now: "People accompany their wives all day long, and the two of them go to learn football together." I called a few times, and said proudly that I was not available! Who remembers this old thing. ”

Father Tang was really diverted when he heard this, and said, "Why didn't I accompany you, I didn't take you with me!" You don't appreciate it. Tang's mother pouted, "I was born in dancing, and I can't smell the sour smell of scholars." Father Tang laughed and said, "When I was young, I ran after the sour smell, and I smelled it for most of my life!" Tang's mother blushed unexpectedly, glanced at Tang Jianyu, and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense in front of the child!" Tang Jianyu knew it well, and took the opportunity of the soup to dodge and give his mother a step down.

"Is there anything else in the pot?" Watching her son put the half-sea bowl of chicken soup in the middle of the table, Tang's mother asked. Tang Jianyu sat down, pinched his fingers and replied: "It's been so long, it's still so hot!" No, it's all here. Mother Tang nodded, "Then I have a good estimate, half a chicken is just right." ”

Under the command of Tang's mother, the three of them divided the chicken soup into a bowl, Tang's father lowered his head and took a sip of the soup, and after glancing at Tang Jianyu, he said to his wife: "Shao Fang said that his unit has an opportunity to travel to Hainan and can bring his family. He didn't have time to go and asked if you wanted to go with his wife. Mother Tang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said happily: "Really? I just like to walk around. If you agree with me to go, I'll go. Father Tang said: "I must have agreed to tell you!" Mother Tang bit her lip and replied: "Then I must go, I can talk to Shao Fang's family, and I must have a good time!" Father Tang nodded and said, "Then I'll call back to someone today and sign you up." ”

After Tang Jianyu drank the chicken soup, he put the bone residues into his bowl, and did not pack up the dishes and chopsticks to go to the kitchen as usual, but sat in the same place and listened to his parents. "By the way, Wenyu will accompany you, she is young and can take care of the two of you." Tang's father said lightly, Tang's mother nodded, and said, "Goddaughter knows a lot, it's best to accompany us!" Tang Jianyu looked at his father wordlessly, and Tang's father met his gaze, and even stared at him with a pretense of inquiry. Tang Jianyu took a deep breath and looked at his mother, said, "I've eaten", then picked up his utensils, got up and left his seat.

Due to the late departure, Tang Jianyu returned to the apartment in the town at more than nine o'clock in the evening. He endured it all afternoon, and after thinking about it at this time, he dialed Shao Wenyu's number. Shao Wenyu's voice quickly came, "Ah, I didn't expect you to call." Tang Jianyu asked: "Is it convenient to listen to the phone?" "Convenient, let's say."

"Are you going to accompany them to Hainan?" Tang Jianyu asked bluntly, and Shao Wenyu also replied frankly, "Yes, I took the initiative to ask to go." "Did you know that my mom will go too?" "You know, what's wrong?" "Wenyu!" Tang Jianyu rarely called her name, and his tone at the moment was both reproachful and regretful. And Shao Wenyu said as if he really didn't understand anything: "What are you calling me for?" ”

There was a long silence on the phone, and Tang Jianyu didn't even open his mouth three times without speaking. Shao Wenyu on the other side seemed to see his desire to speak and stopped, and said first: "If you have anything to say, just say it clearly, and help me." Tang Jianyu was about to speak again, and finally pinched the bridge of his nose and said tiredly: "Then my mother please bother you more, it's not early, rest early." ”

Shao Wenyu was so disappointed that he hung up the phone without saying a word. The employees had already left work, and she was alone in the huge office on the entire floor, and she heard the water dispenser in the pantry outside seemed to be replenishing water, occasionally making a "grunt" sound, and the quiet environment scared people. She slammed the half-read report in her hand on the table, and said angrily: "This scumbag who can't even refuse!" Loser! ”

She touched her forehead to calm herself, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, where she saw the silhouette of an urban neon and buildings darker than night on the horizon beyond. After standing for a long time, she pressed her right hand on the position of her heart and thought: Why can't you let go of such a useless man! Do I love him now, or do I love the obsession of competing with myself!

The sudden "beep" sound on the phone made Tang Jianyu clearly feel Shao Wenyu's anger. He knew that she had reached the limit, so he wanted to hear himself say no, but Tang Jianyu was also confused by himself: he had known Shao Wenyu for so many years, and he had already expressed his attitude with his actions, but why couldn't he say anything neatly!

For example, today, he wants to tell her: stop forcing yourself to please! We've done that, and it doesn't take any effort on your part to be together...... But he felt that the cruelty was unspeakable, and he understood that this was so hypocritical, wasn't it cruel to hang her ambiguously? The answer is self-explanatory.
