At dinner, the Chen family of six gathered in the dining room, because it is rare for the family to be so full of people once, Li Duanyu specially opened a Moutai that has been hidden for more than 20 years, compared to the relatively simple dumplings on the table with porridge dinner, Li Duanyu's Moutai is definitely a bit too extravagant, fortunately, there are several pieces in a wine collection like this, she is not very distressed, for her, the family can sit together and eat a meal is more comfortable than anything else.

Chen Ze and Chen Xi brothers and sisters sat honestly next to their grandmother on the left and right according to the convention, the brothers and sisters seemed to be trained to know the rules, each holding a small bowl and chopsticks, watching their grandmother give them a bowl with a thin skin and thick filling, and they didn't dare to talk more at the dinner table, and after the grandmother served them dumplings, they each said very obediently: "Thank you, grandma." Then before moving the chopsticks, the brother and sister also shouted in turn, "Grandpa eats, Dad eats, Mom eats", this whole set of processes is almost like a small machine.

Chen Yang couldn't help but feel a little sad when he looked at the miserable situation of his pair of children on the side, and at the same time unconsciously remembered that when he and Ruonan were young, weren't they like Chen Ze and their brothers and sisters who were disciplined by their mothers so well-behaved?

Of course, Chen Yang can only slander his mother's education method in his heart at most, but he doesn't have the courage to say it, after all, he was also educated by his mother all the way back then, and now he has the same upright outlook and a successful career?

Chen Ruonan poured a glass of wine for his father and Chen Yang on the side, and then poured half a glass for his mother and himself. Only then did he sit back beside Chen Yang, picked up his bowl, dipped a dumpling in the sauce in the small plate, and tasted it in his mouth, to be honest, the taste of the dumplings in the old Chen family was really average, at least it was much worse than the sauce dish made by a few kitchen experts such as Xian'er.

Because of things in his heart, Chen Yang didn't talk much at the dinner table, and silently sent wine with dumplings and peanuts, of course. The rules of the Chen family were set by Li Duanyu. has always been silent and silent, and in the past few decades, the family has always been very quiet and lonely when eating together, and the difference from ordinary people's families is great.

The two little ones ate well. After eating more than a dozen dumplings each. Then he withdrew with his grandmother. Of course, the next time is not for the two of them to move freely, according to the schedule set by grandma. They had to accompany their grandmother out for a walk, and when they came back, they had to go back to the study to practice calligraphy for another hour before they could wash and sleep.

However, after Li Duanyu left with the children, Chen Yang and the others were obviously much more comfortable, and they spoke casually.

"Dad, didn't I let you tell your mother, the school is on vacation, don't arrange so many teachers for the Ozawa brothers and sisters to learn this and that, this day is either to learn piano or calligraphy, or simply to learn what etiquette, amateur courses are full of a lot of arrangements, do you say this is necessary? Anyway, I feel distressed to death. ”

Chen Ruonan put down the dishes and chopsticks, lowered his voice and muttered to his father.

Chen Yaohua took a sip of wine expressionlessly, and said lightly: "If you want to say that you tell your mother yourself, don't you see that I have nothing to say to your mother in the past two days?" ”

"Dad, you are such a grandfather!"

Chen Ruonan said angrily, in front of her father, she has always said whatever she wants, which is the opposite of Chen Yang, Chen Yang is obviously much more intimate when he is with his mother than when he is with his father.

Chen Yaohua has always been very kind to his beloved daughter, and he has never been stingy with a smile, unlike when he was in front of his son, he always put on a strict father's face, so when he heard his daughter's criticism, he didn't care, smiled, didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass to fill himself with another glass.

Seeing this, Chen Yang hurriedly stopped the wine bottle in his father's hand: "Dad, don't drink so much." ”

You must know that the Chen family's wine glass is almost full of two or two wines, and for an old man who is almost sixty years old, he really can't drink more.

"I'm happy today, it's okay to drink more." Chen Yaohua shook his head, gently pushed Chen Yang's hand away, and said, "We haven't drunk together for more than half a year, so you can accompany me to drink two more glasses tonight." ”

Chen Yang still needs to be persuaded again, but Chen Yaohua is already full of himself, and he secretly shook his head, he can only fill a cup for himself.

Seeing Chen Yang pour a large glass of wine, Chen Ruonan frowned lightly and said, "Chen Yang, you also said Dad, you should drink less yourself." ”

"Look at you, do I have too much to drink?" Chen Yang glanced at Chen Ruonan helplessly, "You hurry up and eat the dumplings you wrapped." As he spoke, he pointed to his bowl with chopsticks, and the dumplings in the bowl were sparse and almost muddled, "Look at what these things you wrapped?" It's a shame that you're still a mother, and I'll blush for you when you say it. ”

"Chen Yang, you!" Chen Ruonan's face turned red when he was damaged, although he felt a little embarrassed, but he still forced himself to say: "What's wrong with the dumplings I made?" Aren't there a lot of good ones too? It's just that the mother has been clamped to the children in front, didn't you see it just now? ”

"Just those slightly better ones, I guess it must be Sister Lan's bag, or it's mom's craftsmanship, you won't put gold on your face."

"You!"

Chen Ruonan's lie was exposed by her husband on the spot, and she was ashamed and angry, reached out and pinched Chen Yang hard under the table, and at the same time wanted to find a hole for herself on the spot to drill down. However, Chen Yang did not wronged her, she was raised by the family as the most standard daughter of a wealthy family when she was a child, and her ten fingers did not touch the spring water, so where would she do these housework.

Chen Ruonan glanced at Chen Yang hatefully, and complained to his father: "Dad, you don't talk about him, you just watch him bully me, right?" ”

Chen Yaohua looked at his pair of children on the side, his eyes were full of satisfaction and satisfaction, and then he rarely quipped: "Hehe, you girl, what are you doing with me?" If you really want me to say, I don't think Xiao Yang said anything wrong about you. See for yourself if you can show your craft to meet people? ”

Being ridiculed so much by his closest family, her husband is like this, and now even her father doesn't help her, Chen Ruonan was ashamed of herself, stood up with a red face, and snorted softly angrily: "You don't like to eat and pull down!" I'll go upstairs and go to sleep!"

With that, he stomped his foot and turned around and left the restaurant.

The rest of the two men didn't care, they were all a family, and the two of them naturally knew Ruonan's temperament, but they weren't really angry with their grandfathers. It's just that I'm embarrassed to stay any longer.

And Ruonan left. Next, the two fathers and sons didn't have so many scruples, and slowly drank a little wine and chatted, but most of them were Chen Yaohua casually asking about Chen Yang's work, and Chen Yang was in front of his father. Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of when it comes to talking. On the contrary, he said a lot of his own views on Huahai officialdom and even the current high-level leaders.

Both were heavy drinkers. There is no problem at all with slowly tasting a bottle of Moutai, if it weren't for Chen Yang's scruples about his father's body and refusing to open another bottle, Chen Yaohua's mood today. That's definitely uncontrollable.

But it just so happened that not long after the father and son finished drinking, Li Duanyu took Chen Ze and his sisters back home after a walk, and after settling the children, she returned to the living room, Chen Yaohua sat in the living room for a while and then went upstairs to read a book as usual, while Li Duanyu stayed in the living room and talked to Chen Yang about the mother-son relationship, but it was different from Chen Yaohua's concern, Li Duanyu asked the most about Chen Yang's life in Huahai, Chen Yang naturally answered all questions, and coaxed his mother to be happy. During this period, Chen Ruonan came down once, but he still seemed to remembers the mess at the dinner table just now, so he didn't bother to take care of Chen Yang, and after saying a few words to his mother, he went back upstairs to take the two children who had finished their homework to take a bath.

It was almost half past nine o'clock when the chat between mother and son ended.

Back upstairs, Chen Yang went directly to get a basin of hot water and brought it into Chen Yaohua's bedroom, when he entered the house, Chen Yaohua was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at a tome, he walked to the side of the bed with a hot water basin, and took out a low stool from under the bed, put down the basin, and naturally helped his father wash his feet.

"Dad, you haven't done this old problem on your feet lately, have you?"

Chen Yang asked while helping his father gently massage several acupuncture points on his feet.

"It's been so many years, it's impossible to think about it completely, and now that I can walk on the ground, God is good to me." Chen Yaohua looked at the book in his hand and replied casually.

"Dad, I've thought about it, you don't actually need to retreat, I'm still doing it now"

As soon as Chen Yang was halfway through his words, Chen Yaohua put the book aside, and interrupted with a light cough: "Xiao Yang, I have my own measure in this matter, don't think about it." Saying that, he sighed lightly, "Alas, your mother means that she wants me to retire now, but I think twice, I still have to stabilize before the change, and after the change, I don't need your mother to nag, I must retire completely as soon as possible, Xiao Yang, I won't hide it from you, your grandfather actually means the same." ”

Chen Yang's heart was a little gloomy, but more than that, he felt a thick and selfless father's love, he raised his head to look at his father, hesitated, and still wanted to persuade again: "Dad, you still want to again"

"Hehe, don't talk about it anymore." Chen Yaohua had a faint smile on his face, a little emotional, and at the same time looked at Chen Yang with satisfaction, "Xiao Yang, I know that you now have your own independent ideas and ways of doing things on your own, but for me, when you grow up, you can carry our Chen family, this is enough, I say this, do you understand?" ”

Chen Yang didn't say anything more, just gently pursed his somewhat dry lips, and then nodded.

At this moment, Li Duanyu stood quietly at the door of the bedroom and looked at the picture that made her feel more cordial, listening to the small talk between their father and son, her eyes were full of tenderness, for some reason, her eyes were quietly red when she listened to it.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Chen Ruonan, who had just finished his work, also walked to his mother's side at this time, asked in a surprised whisper, and looked into the house as he spoke.

With just one glance, she understood why her mother was suddenly a little sad.

Indeed, although Chen Yang has not had many opportunities to help his father wash his feet and do foot massage after work, in fact, this scene is no stranger to the mother and daughter outside the door, Chen Yangda has been doing this almost every day since he was a child, but for their mother and daughter, this warm scene seems to never be enough, as if only at this time, this family seems to be full of strong family affection (to be continued......
