Chapter Ninety-One: Home is the Warmest Harbor
"Come, son, let Mom see. Holding Meng Tao's hand and sitting down on the sofa, Sun Feng'e looked at Meng Tao carefully, looking at it, Sun Feng'e's eyes were filled with tears: "Xiaotao, you have lost weight and darkened, you have suffered a lot outside, tell your mother the truth." ”
"Mom, I'm not thin, I'm still fat, do you think I'm stronger than before?" Meng Tao deliberately clenched his fist in front of Sun Hong'e.
"You dead boy, what kind of business do you do, you say, you don't go to school well, can't your family afford you? You see your eye sockets are sunken. With a crying voice, Sun Feng'e patted Meng Tao's shoulder hard, patted and patted, and hugged Meng Tao in her arms.
"Mom, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. Meng Tao patted his mother's back and comforted, his eyes inadvertently fell on his mother's hair, he hadn't seen him for half a year, Meng Tao found that his mother's hair had white hair, and then he thought of his mother's rough and cracked hands, Meng Tao's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Sun Feng'e's mood eased a little, and then she straightened up, turned her head behind Meng Tao's back and shouted while wiping her eyes: "What am I crying for, I didn't cry, the wind was too strong just now, and my eyes hurt." Knowing that his mother was strong, Meng Tao didn't dwell on this topic, so he changed the topic: "Mom, what about my dad?"
"I know that you are coming back today, and your father went to the market to buy the yellow croaker you like to eat, and he will be back soon. With that, Sun Feng'e got up from the sofa: "Okay, you're tired of driving all the way, go back to your house to rest for a while, and I'll call you to cook." ”
"I'm not tired, I'll talk to you for a while. ”
After hearing this, Sun Feng'e sat down on the sofa again, looking at Meng Tao with relief in her eyes: "Stinky boy, you are sensible after staying outside for half a year, you used to be away from home all day, and if you want to talk to you, you either can't catch people or you think I'm verbose and quarrel with me." ”
"Hey, I was young and ignorant at that time," Meng Tao scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "Mom, you won't still be angry, right?"
Glaring at Meng Tao, Sun Feng'e pinched off a piece of hair stuck to Meng Tao's sweater, sighed, and said softly: "There are only children in this world who make their mothers angry, how can there be mothers who hold grudges against their children." ”
The two talked for a while, and Sun Feng'e suddenly remembered something: "You said that this is the New Year, you drove back someone's car, how can they use it?"
"That's right, it's all my dormitory, the relationship is very good, he went out to travel with his family during the New Year, and he didn't need the car, by the way, they took this dish, said it was delicious, and brought it back for you to taste. Meng Tao began to comfort Sun Feng'e with the excuses he had thought out in advance.
"Classmates should get along well, we produce chestnuts, when you leave, your mother will buy you more, and bring them to your classmates to let them taste, things are not valuable, but also our minds, your grandfather often said that the courtesy is still exchanged, we are good to others, people will be good to us, don't always think about how to take advantage of outside, first take advantage of the loss and naturally come. ”
"Mom, I remember. Meng Tao replied seriously.
While the two were talking, the door was opened from the outside, Meng Weimin walked in with a big black plastic bag, and when he saw Meng Tao, a flash of joy flashed on his face: "Xiao Tao is back." ”
"Dad. Meng Tao walked out with a smile and took the bag in Meng Weimin's hand.
"Don't you know," Meng Weimin said while changing his shoes: "Your mother started chattering in the morning, I said that you didn't come back so quickly, she was good, she originally said that she would go to the market with me, but when she arrived at the intersection, she was afraid that you would not be able to enter the house when you came back, so she had to wait for you there on a windy day." ”
"How can it be so exaggerated as you say, I just ran into Xiaotao when I went out. Glaring at Meng Weimin, Sun Feng'e said while tying an apron: "Hurry up and come over and help me, my son has driven all the way, and he must be hungry." ”
"What happened when you drove back?" Meng Weimin was stunned, turned his head to Meng Tao and asked, "Whose car?"
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you when you go to the kitchen, can you let the child rest for a while?" Sun Feng'e couldn't help but pull Meng Weimin to the kitchen.
"Okay, okay, don't pull me," as soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw that the corner and kitchen balcony were full of vegetables, Meng Weimin's expression was the same as Sun Feng'e just now, "There are so many dishes, it's not that I buy all the vegetables, why do you buy so many vegetables?"
This was brought back by Xiao Tao, his classmate's family grew vegetables, saying that this kind of dish tasted good, so Meng Tao drove their car to pull it back. ”
"That's too much, when do you have to eat it?"
Sun Feng'e pointed to the corner of the living room facing the kitchen door, "This dish is still a trivial matter, look, your son brought you a big gift." ”
"What?" When Meng Weimin, who came out of the kitchen, saw the box of Wuliangye with four cigarettes on it, his face sank suddenly, and he pointed to the cigarettes and alcohol and asked Meng Tao, "Xiaotao, you paid for this?"
"It's not Dad, it's from the owner of my partner's clinic, it's the New Year, I took some cigarettes and alcohol and asked me to bring it back for you, I can't postpone it, so I'll bring it back to you." ”
Hearing that it wasn't Meng Tao who bought it with money, Meng Weimin's face softened a little, shook his head and said, "No, this will be taken to your aunt's supermarket tomorrow and let her help sell it, isn't it a waste to drink such an expensive thing?"
"Dad, I'll bring it back for you to drink......"
"I can't say no, it's too expensive. ”
At this time, Sun Feng'e spoke: "His father, Xiaotao can make money now, our life is slowly getting better, my son respects you, you can keep it and drink it slowly." ”
Sun Feng'e spoke really well, Meng Weimin stopped squeaking, but his face was still a little reluctant.
"Mom, I forgot, and your gifts. Meng Tao patted his head, and suddenly remembered that the gift he bought for his mother had not been taken out, so he hurriedly opened the bag and took out a rectangular delicate jewelry box from it, and when he opened it, there was a golden gold necklace and a bracelet.
Seeing the bracelet and necklace for the first time, Sun Feng'e's body couldn't help but tremble, and her expression suddenly became excited, but this look only lasted for a very short time, and Sun Feng'e's loud voice exploded in the living room:
"Xiaotao, let me tell you, where did you buy it, you returned it to me, don't you say that this is also given to you, you loser child, how can you develop a problem of being extravagant just after you can make some money?"
"Mom, just this time, isn't it okay to do it?" Meng Tao smiled bitterly: "This is custom-made, and people can't return it." ”
Meng Weimin knew how hard his wife had been over the years, and persuaded: "Damn, the child has bought everything, you can accept it, the child is sensible, don't embarrass the child for the New Year." ”
"Yes, yes, Mom, take it. Meng Tao took the opportunity to stuff the jewelry box into Sun Feng'e's arms, "Wear it for a while, see if it fits." ”
Sun Feng'e stared at the necklace and bracelet in her hand, and tears came out, "You dead boy, what are you going to buy for me?" With this money, can you buy some food, what have you lost yourself, you must be reluctant to eat and wear at school, look at you, even the down jacket on your body was sent by me, no, I have to go with you after the New Year, I will see if it is what you said." ”
Due to the fact that during this time I was working on the vegetable base and plastic pellets. Meng Tao kept running outside, exposed to the wind and sun, and his skin was a little rough, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood by his mother as suffering from hardship.
Meng Weimin also found out at this time that Meng Tao had indeed become dark and thin, patted Meng Tao's shoulder distressedly, sat on the sofa with his head bowed and stopped talking.
