More than forty minutes later, although Chen Yang was frightened along the way, Chen Ruonan finally drove the car into a high-walled compound with red bricks and blue tiles in the central and southern part of Yanjing. In fact, it is a super large yard with an area of about 1,500 acres, with mountains, rivers, lakes and moorings.
Five minutes later, Chen Ruonan parked the jeep in front of Villa 68.
"It's all home, what are you still rubbing in the car, are you embarrassed to go home? Get out of the car! Chen Ruonan on the side urged while extinguishing the fire.
Chen Yang is not as cowardly as others say, but he is a little afraid of seeing his adoptive father, and he has been like this since he was a child. As soon as he entered the compound guarded by armed police soldiers with loaded guns from the front, Chen Yang felt extremely depressed, far less relaxed than he seemed on his face.
Counting it, he hasn't been back for a whole year, and he remembers very well that last year he also dragged on until the twenty-ninth year before rushing back from Longmen.
Lifting the suitcase, he got out of the car with Chen Ruonan and entered the courtyard.
The lights were on on the first floor of the villa, and two people walked in side by side, both with light steps.
Push open the door,What catches your eye,Except for the long rainbow color TV on the table in front of you can be a little bit modern,The rest of the sandalwood antique furniture gives people the feeling that is no different from returning to the Republic of China periodγ In addition, there was another person who was already sitting in the living room waiting for them.
This middle-aged man is Chen Yang's adoptive father Chen Yaohua, fifty years old, with a Chinese character face, three-dimensional facial features like an axe, sword eyebrows and big eyes, and a resolute and righteous spirit between his eyebrows.
"Dad, I'm back." Chen Yang put down the suitcase and shouted at the middle-aged man in a wheelchair.
The middle-aged man raised his head slightly and stared at Chen Yang for a full five seconds before saying, "Let's go eat first." The voice was very steady, a little deep, and there was a faint momentum that could not be refused, and after throwing down this sentence, he held the wheelchair with both hands and slowly entered the study in the compartment.
Chen Yang saw his adoptive father like this, and knew that he was still angry, and wanted to catch up and say a few good words to his adoptive father, but he couldn't move his feet, so he had to stand in place in embarrassment. Chen Ruonan on the side took a long breath, reached out and patted the towering chest wrapped in the khaki shirt, turned his head sideways and glared at Chen Yang: "I blame you, you don't know Dad's temper, usually you don't call less, you dare to tell Dad that you won't come back for such a big event as the New Year, hum, I'm unlucky to follow you." After a pause, seeing that Chen Yang's face was not very good-looking, she took Chen Yang's hand, "Don't be stunned, go to dinner, Sister Xu made a lot of delicious food today, in order to pick you up at the airport, I didn't have time to eat, and now I'm starving to death." β
The two of them went to the dining room, and they were not polite at home, so they packed their own meals and sat down at the round table to eat.
This meal is the standard of six dishes and one soup, and there are two more dishes than usual, vinegared crucian carp and braised pork ribs, which Chen Yang likes to eat. Seeing these two dishes, Chen Yang's heart warmed slightly, although his adoptive father has been very strict with himself since he was a child, and he can even be called harsh, and there are a lot of people who should be beaten and scolded, but he understands in his heart that his adoptive father has never regarded himself as a son who has been picked up, and even he faintly feels that his adoptive father's expectations for him are higher than those for Chen Ruonan.
During the meal, Chen Ruonan's mouth was not idle, and while eating, he put on a sister's appearance and counted Chen Yang, using words to be sarcastic, Chen Yang had long been accustomed to this, he knew that the habit of this cheap sister was to talk a lot on the first day, and it would slowly become less and less, and when she left after the New Year, she probably wouldn't say a word, and she had a straight face as if everyone owed her.
"By the way, has Mom been back recently?" Chen Yang asked as he chewed on a bone.
Chen Ruonan was startled when he heard this, glanced cautiously at the study, tapped Chen Yang's rice bowl twice with chopsticks, lowered his voice and blamed: "You're going to die, talking so loudly!" β
"What's the matter, my mother's anger hasn't subsided, and I don't plan to come back this year?" Chen Yang lowered his voice and asked sideways.
Chen Ruonan glanced at the study again uneasily, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he approached Chen Yang and whispered: "Mom came back early, and she lives in the Yanjing Hotel." Oh, by the way, she also told me that as soon as you return to Beijing, you will be asked to see her immediately. β
Hearing this, Chen Yang's scalp began to tingle, and he scolded himself secretly, asking what he was doing just now. The stern appearance of the adoptive mother quickly appeared in his mind, so he had to nod and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll see if I have time tomorrow, and if I have time, I'll try to take the time to go." β
"Hey, you're a little county magistrate and you're still a cow? The shelves are pretty big! The taste of official oil in the mouth is really annoying to listen to. Chen Ruonan pursed his lips disdainfully, "Believe it or not, I'll learn what you just said from our mother tomorrow?" β
Chen Yang was choked and raised his chopsticks: "I said where did you come from so much nonsense, hurry up and eat, eat!" He bowed his head and began to eat.
After the meal, because the nanny was not there, Chen Ruonan generously took the initiative to take on the work of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and also talked to Chen Yang in the direction of the study: "Go quickly, Dad is probably waiting for you to admit your mistake to him." β
Chen Yang knew that he couldn't dodge, so he nodded and walked straight over.
The door to the study was hidden, and he pushed it open.
After entering, Chen Yang shouted "Dad" to Chen Yaohua, who was holding a large book and studying, then took a boiling kettle on the small table, walked to the basin stand, poured half a bottle of boiling water in the kettle, and then went to the faucet to mix some cold water, and after testing the water temperature with his hands, he took off a towel and put it on the edge of the enamel basin, held it to the edge of the wheelchair, pulled a small bench under the bed and sat down, and picked up Chen Yaohua's feet and soaked them into the basin. Little by little, he massaged the crippled legs and helped Chen Yaohua wash his feet.
Chen Yaohua didn't say a word during the whole process, he was still holding the book and reading it intently, and Chen Yang didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he naturally did it, as if he had done it countless times before, and his skills were very skillful and sophisticated.
Outside the door of the study, Chen Ruonan quietly hid behind the door like a thief and peeked. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but sniff, and her eyes were a little warm. For some reason, she likes to peek at Chen Yang helping her father wash and massage his feet, she developed this quirk when Chen Yang was still at home in the past, but since Chen Yang resolutely decided to work in Longmen two years ago, this opportunity is almost gone.
She once tentatively asked her father, why do you like to let Chen Yang help you massage whenever Chen Yang is free at home? The father replied proudly, Chen Yang is the son I raised, I can afford it! After hearing this, she was not convinced, and asked, then I am also your daughter, why do you never let me wash your feet and massage? What I got was my father's cold answer, Ruonan, you take a good look at yourself, you are a princess who has been spoiled by your mother, can you do it!.
"Dad, are you still angry with me?"
In the study, Chen Yang was busy with his hands and asked.
Chen Yaohua snorted and flipped the book to another page.
"Dad, didn't I call you to explain it before, I just became the secretary of the county party committee not long ago, and I was too busy at work to leave, didn't you say anything at the time?" Chen Yang was not discouraged and continued.
Chen Yaohua put down the book and looked down at Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, don't you know why I'm angry until now?" β
Chen Yang's hand paused, knowing that his father's anger fell two years ago, after thinking about it, he twisted the towel, raised his head and said: "Dad, I know what you mean, and I also know how you arranged me, you want me to work in the six ministries and commissions after finishing my undergraduate, and then work for two years and then return to school to gild, study for graduate school and doctorate, and then go to the local place to work for a few years, and when the seniority and age are up, I will return to Beijing to see if I can be elected as a member." β
Speaking of this, Chen Yang stopped, raised his eyes and looked at Chen Yaohua before continuing: "Dad, I didn't say that you didn't arrange it like this, but I really don't want to follow your arrangement, like a machine qΓ¬ person step by step, you also know that I will listen to your opinions on everything from childhood to adulthood, but this time, you let me make my own decisions, okay?" β
Chen Yaohua snorted again, picked up the book again, and asked lightly: "Chen Yang, do you want to make your own ideas, do you also include the woman named Xiang Jin?" β
Chen Yang's face froze, although he knew that he and Xiang Jin would not hide it from his father, but when it really came out of his father's mouth at this moment, he still couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. However, he did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Yes, Dad, Xiang Jin is my girlfriend, I have a good relationship with her, and I plan to marry her within these two years." β
"Aren't you going to ask my opinion?" Chen Yaohua read the book very quickly, and turned another page.
Chen Yang's heart sank, he knew very well that in the family of eunuchs, marriage was completely for the sake of serving the interests of the government, and what he said just now could already be labeled as deviant. At this moment, he could even feel his father's two sharp gazes piercing through the thick books and staring directly at his face. glanced at the cover of the book in his father's hand - "Mei Lanfang", and secretly said strangely, he remembered that his father's favorite thing to read was the history or historical classics, what happened today?
"Dad, I was going to bring her to meet you when I came back this time." After the words were spoken, Chen Yang also calmed down a lot.
Chen Yaohua didn't speak, and after about ten minutes, he closed the book and rubbed his eyes, "Okay, let's get here first today, I'm a little sleepy." β
The corners of Chen Yang's mouth moved, and he wanted to say something but still held back. Wringed out the towel and helped my father dry his feet, then picked up my father from the wheelchair, carefully put him on the bed next to him, pulled over a quilt, and covered it before turning away.
"Chen Yang, when you go back after the New Year, forget about that woman."
The moment he turned around, Chen Yang's father's faint words came from his ears, the voice was not loud, but there was a faint power that could not be refused. He almost couldn't control himself, and he wanted to turn his head immediately and yell at his father, "Why? Is it just to force me to marry Chen Ruonan in two years? But do you know that it is not good for me and Chen Ruonan to do that? I'm sorry, Dad, I've already experienced that before, and I don't think I'll do it again! β
But fortunately, he held back and didn't say anything.
Because, he is a dutiful son.
Boom!
At the same time as the door of the study opened, Chen Ruonan, who had been hiding behind the door, covered his mouth and let out a low cry, one did not stand firmly, and almost fell into Chen Yang's arms, but fortunately, Chen Yang quickly held her shoulder.
After Chen Ruonan stood firm, Chen Yang let go of his hand, pursed his lips and said unhappily: "What are you doing sneakily hiding behind this door?" Do you want to eavesdrop on me talking to my dad? β
Chen Ruonan pretended to tidy up his clothes, covered it up, and said disdainfully: "Cut, it's funny, I can use eavesdropping in my own home." After speaking, he twisted his waist and turned upstairs in a panic.
"Weird!" Chen Yang looked at Chen Ruonan's back and muttered in his heart.
