Chapter 216: Outsiders
Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sit together, although the population is a little smaller, but at least there is a pair of mother and son reunited.
Crystal elbows, sauce-fried pig's trotters, sweet and sour pork ribs, soft pork slices, the father deliberately held the pig's trotters and exaggerated bites, which provoked the old lady's gratifying smile, Xiaocheng accompanied him, praising his grandmother's craftsmanship as much as it was back then.
"Mom, your sweet and sour pork ribs are level! I've bitten my tongue twice in a while!"
"Mom, the taste of this pig's trotter sauce! Why didn't you teach me this hand before?"
"Mom......"
At his father's dinner table, Xiao Cheng laughed with his mother's affection, but he was panicked in his heart, his face changed color, and the food was not fragrant. Then there is the city government, after all, he is a 15-year-old child in front of his father and grandmother, and he is seen halfway through the meal.
"What's wrong? Xiaocheng?"
Xiao Cheng's face was bitter, "My mother is back......"
Wen Xinwu's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, saying that it was a reunion dinner, and who here didn't understand that there was one less person on the table.
"When?"
Xiao Cheng simply didn't hide it, "I followed the two of us all the way, I went out to meet her just now, so I felt a little uncomfortable." ”
In a word, the two adults understand that the child who hasn't seen his mother for five years is strange if he doesn't cry at first sight!
"Your mother...... Pretty good?" asked Grandma.
This sentence was asked for his son, Wen Xinwu didn't say it, but he also wanted to ask this sentence in his heart.
"Why didn't you let your mother in?" the old lady continued.
"My mom has remarried. ”
In a word, the atmosphere dropped to the freezing point again. The old lady had just smiled a little, and it froze on her face again. The daughter-in-law is young, and the son has been sentenced to 20 years, why should people spend time with you here? Divorce is also understandable, now the son's case is hopeful, and people come back to keep it that means remarrying, after all, the feelings of more than ten years are here, but the idea that just germinated was immediately extinguished, and people have already remarried.
It's no wonder that Xiaocheng is uncomfortable, the previous home will never come back.
Seeing that the old lady was a little distracted, Wen Xinwu hurriedly persuaded: "Mom, let's go, let's go, don't mention her, let's eat, eat!"
The old lady snapped, threw the chopsticks on the table, and said: "Wuzi, you and Qingyan are divorced, but no matter what, they are still Xiaocheng's mother-in-law, and you can't complain about others in your heart." ”
Wen Xinwu saw that the old lady was serious, and immediately sat up straight, and said with a smile: "Mom, it's nothing, I'm just afraid that you will worry about it." ”
The old lady's face was solemn, and she said earnestly: "Wuzi, you were sentenced to 20 years when you were imprisoned! At that time, Qingyan was only in his thirties, how could you be virtuous, why should you let people spend 20 years with you? Husband and wife are originally the same forest birds, and they fly separately when disaster strikes, and people at least run up and down to help you run forward and save your life, and then get a divorce, right?"
Wen Xinwu nodded gloomily.
The case five years ago, after all, his family was weak, and in that case, it was already great to be able to keep Wen Xinwu's one, otherwise how could there be today's reunion?
"Be a man, you have to think about the good of others, don't keep thinking about how people are sorry for you, at least ten years of husband and wife love, good to get together and disperse, people are divorced, and they haven't taken away a penny from your surname Wen, people don't owe us! Xiaocheng, your mother hasn't gone far yet, right? Invite her in to eat together! How can there be a reason to turn away your own mother?"
Xiao Cheng's face is embarrassed, time has passed, even if he is forced to sit at a table, he is not a family, why bother to increase his sadness?
"Go! No, I'll go with you!"
"Grandma, the melon is not sweet, forget it. "Xiaocheng is a good child, and he almost never disobeys his grandmother's wishes, but today, he categorically refused.
"Even if you call her, she may not come back, even if she comes back, it's not a family, and it's inevitable that sitting together will be embarrassing!"
The old lady can teach her son a lesson, but in the face of this little grandson, she can't say anything about reprimanding.
"Xiaocheng, she is your mother after all. ”
"I didn't dismiss her. Xiao Cheng also saw it at this moment, and smiled miserably: "Grandma, she gave birth to me, she is my mother, and she will never be able to change, and I also remember the ten years of parenting." But the relationship is in place, she has been gone for five years, and there is no news, and now my mother can't even scream, who can blame her?"
A child who has been abandoned by his mother, the wound torn in his heart is not so easy to heal.
"Your mother and her have their own hardships......"
Xiao Cheng leaned back in the chair and said: "Grandma, she has a hard time, I understand, she didn't say goodbye, let me be a motherless child for five years, I don't blame her, now she is doing well, if one day she is old and has nothing to rely on, I will give her the same pension to the end, but ah, grandma, today is a family banquet, she is an outsider, she is not qualified to participate!"
Alien!
After the initial emotional shock passed, Xiaocheng returned to his senses. There is no point in hating, you can not hate, but it is meaningless to blindly repay grievances with virtue. Mother's divorce is understandable, and the remarriage of the surname Gu is also her freedom, but there is a case where she fled alone when she was underage and the whole family was in the most difficult situation, and she had the obligation to support her, but she abandoned her young son in disregard, which has constituted abandonment to a certain extent, and she once abandoned herself, and now she comes back and wants to compensate, is she still qualified?
In the past, no matter what, it can't be compensated, Xiaocheng can be not hateful and tolerant, it's enough. That conceptual mother is nothing more than an emotional sustenance, and the real mother made a choice to turn her back on her mother's duties as early as when he was ten years old.
Forgivable, but not without cost. It's like today's family dinner, after five years of sharing weal and sorrow, she didn't get along with the family, and she is not qualified to sit here today!
"Grandma, after the age of ten, my mother is gone, but my mother's love for me is not lacking, I have not forgotten who took care of me in those years, raised me, taught me to be a righteous man, and taught me to be a good man to be mighty and unyielding! She came, we welcomed, she looked at me, I smiled at each other, but in this house, there is no place for her, even if she comes, she is also a guest!"
Grandma wants to call her back, mostly for Xiaocheng's consideration, no matter how awkward the adult is, the child is innocent. I didn't expect Xiao Cheng to be so categorical, and his grievances were almost ruthless.
Mom can admit it, mistakes can be forgiven, but the past can never come back. It's not a matter of heart, it's not something that forgiveness can solve, it's something that is out of people's control, it's predestined the moment she makes her decision.
Grandma burst into tears, "Good boy, good boy! Grandma didn't hurt in vain! You're right, here, we treat each other politely, if we don't come, we won't invite, you can't be less filial piety, but at the beginning, it was indeed the family she took the initiative to leave, not my Wen family, we won't invite her to the family banquet!"
Xiao Cheng raised the cup, "Dad, grandma, our family, the most difficult time has passed, although there are only three people, it is also a family reunion, happy today, let's do it!"
Three cups touch together, dry!

To understand this chapter, it requires a high level of emotional intelligence.
Yesterday, a lot of friends complained about my body twice a day - brothers, some things, don't blindly pursue quantity, quality is the most important, buddy, this old driver's skills, hardness, firmness, depth, and sense of rhythm, how can those tender children compare? Seven times a night, generally can't last a few minutes, I have four hours at a time, how can it be seven times a night? Now the writer's line is also messy, some people don't have physical strength, so they find the old king next door, copy a little in the east, borrow a little in the west, and the children born look like others, if you really want to identify, maybe whose seed is it!
