Chapter 43: You Haven't Forgotten It's Friday?
Chu Xi has never been a fragile person, and she just wants to calm herself down when she hides in the bathroom, she doesn't know if she will be able to help but collide with her if she continues to listen to her mother-in-law's chatter.
The three-room house where Chu Xi and Jing Cheng live was bought by their parents-in-law for their son as a wedding house five or six years ago. So when she first met, she didn't know Jingcheng's family background, and after in-depth understanding, the two had already decided to enter marriage.
Yan Lu once asked her if she would consider it if the other party didn't have these "hardware configurations", in fact, this house is still owned by Liang Jingcheng alone, and it has nothing to do with her.
After getting engaged, he began to plan the decoration, and Chu Xi asked the designer to design the two rooms other than the master bedroom as a children's room and a study according to his own preferences. But halfway through the decoration, the mother-in-law came to visit the new house, pointed to the children's room and said that it was not practical, and waited until the child could sleep in a room independently, I don't know how many years. The plan was changed at short notice, and the children's room was converted into a guest room.
In fact, they have moved into a new house for so long, except for Jin Ge who has lived once, even the number of times his mother-in-law has lived is very limited.
Ten minutes later, she opened the door and walked outside, where she saw her mother-in-law in the kitchen making pork ribs and preparing to make winter melon soup. Hearing Chu Xi's footsteps, she turned her head and asked, "What time are you going to work?" I'll go home when I've stewed the soup, and you should remember to remind Jingcheng to drink it at night. ”
Chu Xi was dumbfounded: "Mom, don't work too hard." ”
There was no air conditioning in the kitchen, and my mother-in-law was constantly sweating the size of beans on her forehead, her apricot-colored clothes were soaked with sweat, and the places that stuck to her body had turned dark brown.
Inexplicably, the irritability just now disappeared, replaced by warmth and emotion in the high temperature. Thinking about whether he was really too demanding or too excessive, Chu Xi was a little entangled, and said goodbye to his mother-in-law with his bag: "Mom, then I'll go first." ”
Hearing that she was going out, her mother-in-law chased her to the door and gave her a bag of grapes, saying that they had been brought to the house in the morning and had just been picked. He also told her to remember to go home for dinner on Sunday.
To be honest, my mother-in-law came to the house a lot of times, and often picked them to come over during work hours and leave after cleaning. Every time she declares to her husband that this is their "territory", complaining that her mother-in-law has violated her privacy, but she has never cared so much about her attitude as she does at this moment.
Today's scene, the mother-in-law didn't think much about it, she did the same thing as usual, but Chu Xi's brain directed a whole drama on the way back to the bank, and she almost sat at the station.
On Friday afternoon, many colleagues left early without work, and there were few people on the entire third floor. Chu Xi carried the cleaned grapes to the second floor, but Yan Lu's office was very lively, and several colleagues brought the children over.
Remembering that Yan Lu said that the bank is a confinement center, she feels more like a nursery.
"Your mother-in-law has sent something again, Xi, you are so lucky to meet such a good mother-in-law." A colleague holds the child in one hand and stuffs grapes in his mouth with the other.
In the past, she would also bring the snacks sent by her mother-in-law to the bank and distribute them to everyone, and they would also say these words, but this time, Chu Xi had an unusually small change in her heart, and even had a sense of guilt, which was unbelievable to her in the past.
She smiled reluctantly and said, "Yes, she said that this season is the grape season, and she can't finish it at home." ”
"My mother-in-law was so good to me before I had children, and all the conflicts started after this little gadget was born." The colleague pointed to the little thing in his arms and said with a smile, "I don't know if I will be like this in twenty or thirty years." ”
Sitting in Yanlu's office and listening to a group of mothers say that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is completely different from what they are experiencing, and the stories they hear from their mouths seem to be the real beginning of family life when they have children.
After waiting for noon, my husband finally replied to the message, saying that her birthday was approaching, and asked a friend to buy a watch on behalf of her, and she was going to pick it up when she got off work. Ask her if she wants to go with her or go home by herself.
It's not a particularly expensive watch, but even if it's a few thousand dollars, it's all her husband's love for her.
Chu Xi's mood was also detached from the contradiction between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she happily planned to cook dinner for her husband, the soup left by her mother-in-law, and fry two more vegetables.
She replied to her husband: "You go get the watch, I'll drive back by myself after work, and you can pull my car for maintenance on weekends." You should be almost home when you're ready. ”
As soon as dinner was ready, Liang Jingcheng arrived home, her face was black and stubble, with the fatigue of work, and she was holding the watch she was about to give her.
She put the watch on her hand, turned her wrist at all angles, and excitedly asked her husband if he looked good.
"Look at your doglegs, I usually hate you if I don't shave my beard for a day, and I'm willing to sell myself for a gift?" Liang Jingcheng slapped her ass with a sneer, went into the kitchen to wash his hands, and took two pairs of dishes and chopsticks out. "Everything you like looks good, I'm going to see how long you can wear it this time, and do you remember where you put the previous ones?"
"Of course, different clothes have to be matched with different watches." Chu Xi was not convinced.
After eating, I saw my husband rubbing his eyebrows, and I couldn't help but feel distressed: "Are you very tired, did you encounter any problems at work?" ”
"Hmm. Didn't I help a colleague go to the site to measure a section of the road before, and recently it was found that the asphalt pavement was one centimeter less than the requirement. Jingcheng explained, "It's not a big problem, I am not responsible for the section of the road that was checked, but it is a thorough investigation from above, and all the people involved have to explain." ”
"Does it mean that someone took the difference in the middle?" Chu Xi asked.
Jing Cheng nodded.
Chu Xi said: "Mom came over today, and she made the soup. ”
"You told her the password?" Jing Cheng looked up and asked.
"I went to the client in the morning and was home at noon." Chu Xi shook his head and continued, "I suddenly felt very guilty and felt that I had done it. Maybe in my parents' eyes, this is their territory, and I am an outsider. ”
"What stupid things to say, do you know how much Mom likes you? Since she was with you, she was about to abandon my son, and the first thing she called you was to ask where you had gone. Jing Cheng put his arm on her shoulders and said word by word.
"But..."
"Nothing, shall we take a shower and rest early?" Jing Cheng kissed her forehead, "I'll wash it for you?" ”
The soft man leaned on his shoulder, did not refuse, and let him caress gently on his body. The gentle movements melted her heart and stirred her lust. Hope.
Jing Cheng noticed the subtle changes in the people around him, his face was crimson, his eyelashes were moist, and he didn't get to the point in a hurry.
This summer is very hot, even if the air conditioning temperature is turned low, the bodies of the two people are still hot, especially in the room just finished a hearty lingering.
"One cold and one hot are easy to catch a cold." Jing Cheng carefully put the quilt on his wife.
Chu Xiren shrank in the quilt, silent, and looked at him quietly.
"Living our lives well is the greatest reward for my parents. You won't be allowed to think about it in the future, you know? Jingcheng was a little overbearing, and then said, "I took the time to ask the school today, and there is still half a year to go, so I really have to plan well to prepare for the exam." ”
Chu Xi coquettishly opened her arms: "Husband, I want to hug, kissgoodnight!" ”
Both were already tired and went to sleep sweetly. And Jin Ge was at home, just put her daughter to sleep, and she pulled her hair up.
Jiang Shan was not at home, and before getting off work, he said that he was going to play mahjong with his friends in the evening. In this way, she can take a good bath at home without any scruples.
There was still water in the bathtub, and she slowly removed her clothes, and the large mirror in front of the sink revealed her figure. Chu Xi often said that she didn't look like a person who had given birth to a child at all, but the hidden wounds in her body couldn't deceive people.
She dipped her body in the water little by little, leaning her head lightly. The warm water temperature and the contact with her body made her feel that the tiredness was withdrawing away, and her stiff body was gradually relaxing.
Jin Ge closed his eyes, took two handfuls of water and slapped them on his face, but he never dared to relax easily in his heart.
She and Jiangshan are like this, and she also feels very strange. She thinks that there are many people who have persevered from the long-distance love run on campus, but there must not be many like them. There are those who have their surnames because of love, and there are those who love because of their surnames, so what are they?
Thinking about it, she could only think of the only answer, and that was for the child. He smiled and simply sank his head into the bathtub.
Until she couldn't hold her breath anymore, she raised her head with her arms and exhaled heavily. When I opened my eyes again, I saw Jiang Shan standing in front of me.
The body unconsciously shrank back, and she immediately calmed down: "You just came back?" ”
"Well, it's been a while." Jiang Shan stood in the bathroom without moving, and Jin Ge didn't know whether he should stand up or continue to sit in the bathtub.
"You go and see if she kicked the quilt off." Jin Ge said.
Jiang Shan didn't say anything, turned around and went to his daughter's room. Jin Ge hurriedly got up and tidied up, dressed neatly, and nestled motionless on the bed.
Jin Ge closed her eyes, she forced herself to fall asleep quickly, and heard Jiang Shan return to the room and enter the bathroom. But the water was murmuring, and the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't sleep.
Then the sound of the water stopped abruptly, and she heard the sound of brushing her teeth and spitting water, and after a while the footsteps came from far and near.
The other side of the bed sank for a while, and there was no movement for a long time.
Jin Ge breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Shan's voice slowly sounded: "Your car hit today?" ”
Jin Ge was stunned, remembering the accident in the morning: "I didn't pay attention when I turned around, I used the accelerator as a brake, and I hit the car that was going straight." ”
Jiang Shan asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Jin Ge shook his head, and thought that he couldn't see it in the dark, and replied, "It's okay, because at the intersection, the speed is not fast." ”
"Be careful when driving in the future." Jiang Shan said, suddenly the conversation changed, "You haven't forgotten, today is Friday." ”
