Chapter 7: There is a feeling of being calculated
Walking out a street, she glanced back at her uncle's bungalow, and then exhaled deeply.
She really didn't want to hide anything on purpose, a lot of things, she couldn't explain.
At this time, Shen Ze had already returned to the courtyard and saw his mother humming a little song while drying fresh shiitake mushrooms.
She finally found it from the market, and she chopped dumplings with dried food, which tasted the best.
Shen Ze was surprised and called Mom.
After two seconds, Chen Xiulian turned around, threw down the mushrooms in her hand, trotted to Shen Ze, stood on tiptoe desperately, held his face with both hands, and smiled:
"My son, you are back, and my mother is so happy...... Look how handsome my son looks......"
Shen Ze, who had never been treated like this, was stunned for a moment, and stood there stupidly in embarrassment, letting his mother rub and pinch his face.
"Mom, I'm out of breath." Shen Ze squeezed out a sentence from his deformed mouth.
Only then did Chen Xiulian let go of his face and held his hand, looking full of self-satisfaction, as if he had a son like him, and he was honored.
Only then did Shen Ze remember that on the way back just now, a big uncle grabbed him and told him that since his mother was rescued from falling into the water the day before yesterday, the whole person swept away the previous gloom and became brighter.
According to Chen Xiulian's own words, after walking through the ghost gate, many things have been figured out, and I don't have to worry about it, and I want to live happily in the future.
Originally, Shen Ze blamed himself for his mother falling into the water, but now he didn't know what to say, so he only listened to his mother happily telling him what she had done in the past two days.
Why went to the farmers' market and the free trade market, took a good look at it, and said that he wanted to do some business, which confused Shen Ze.
Since her father's death, her mother has been depressed and has never seen her smile again, and twenty years ago, there has been no news of her brother's disappearance, and she lives like a walking corpse.
Her mother has always felt guilty because her brother was lost, and she was sad because of her father's death, and Shen Ze wanted to help her get out.
Unexpectedly, this time she went to the canal to dig wild vegetables, accidentally fell into the water, and finally figured it out after being rescued.
"Mom, whatever business you want to do, I support you!"
Shen Ze's face was soft, holding Chen Xiulian's shoulders, and the two of them had already walked into the cabinet in the room as they spoke.
Shen Ze took out a mahogany box, and there was a passbook inside.
It was the compensation he received after his father's death, a total of 5,400 yuan, and he didn't touch a cent.
Chen Xiulian's face could not hide her surprise, in this era, more than 5,000 yuan is a huge amount of money!
Why didn't she think about it for a while!
It seems that her capital is very sufficient.
When the two were discussing what to do, Jian Xiaoxing pushed the cart into the courtyard and rang the bicycle bell.
Shen Ze poked his head out of the room, and when he saw Jian Xiaoxing, his eyes lit up imperceptibly, and he walked out,
"Coming so soon?"
"I'm afraid...... My aunt has something to do with me, so she came over early. Jian Xiaoxing pursed her lips and smiled, when she laughed, there would be two small pear vortices at the corners of her lips, giving people a sweet feeling.
It's just engagement, there's no need to change your name to Mom!
Then, she heard a string of hearty laughter coming from the room, followed by a middle-aged aunt with a thin face and a wrinkled face.
"Oh, Hyosung, you're here. I miss it. ”
Jian Xiaoxing was simply dragged into the house by her.
I've seen her a few times, but she's always depressed, how can she feel like she's evil today?
Jian Xiaoxing threw a look of help at Shen Ze.
Shen Ze was behind her, his face was sinking like water, and he didn't mean to solve her doubts at all.
Gotta deal with it yourself!
"Hyosung, I didn't give you anything when I got engaged last time, I didn't think about it thoroughly, and today, you have to accept this anyway."
Annette Chen had already taken out a jade bracelet and an old-fashioned gold ring from the mahogany box.
"This is handed down by the old Shen family, you remember to keep it."
Jian Xiaoxing was a little flattered, "Auntie, Shen Ze and I are only engaged, and it has not been made public, I can't accept such a valuable gift." ”
Let's not talk about how valuable the jade bracelet will be in a few decades, the gold ring alone is at least five grams, and now the gold price is twenty-eight yuan a gram, which is one hundred and forty yuan, and the salary is half a year.
His eyes glanced at Shen Ze by the door again, he leaned there, so he had a good time, and there was no extra expression.
"Shen Ze, what do you think?" Jian Xiaoxing simply asked directly.
Shen Ze shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said as a matter of course: "Mom said to give it, you can take it!" ”
It's obvious that I have a baby, how can I feel like I'm being calculated?
At the beginning, the original owner saved Shen's mother and came to see her several times, and later Chen Xiulian proposed to her about getting engaged.
In order to reduce the burden on his uncle, the original owner wanted to use Shen Ze to test the evolution factory, and Shen Ze agreed to get engaged in order to satisfy his mother's wishes.
The reason why it is not disclosed is because the original owner is only 19 years old and has not yet reached the age of marriage.
Jian Xiaoxing put the jade bracelet on his hand, and then held it up to show Chen Xiulian,
"How? Is it good-looking? ”
"It's so pretty!" Chen Xiulian was obviously praising the bracelet, but her eyes were staring at her delicate face.
Jian Xiaoxing pretended to be calm, but the roots of his ears were still slightly hot.
She really didn't want to live in concealment and deception, but she couldn't help herself.
The afternoon light was very sufficient, hitting Shen Ze's body, making his face coated with a layer of golden light, and it looked good without dead ends.
And the corners of Shen Ze's mouth were slightly hooked, and he seemed to be interested in her coping.
After giving the bracelet, Chen Xiulian yawned and smiled apologetically at Jian Xiaoxing:
"I'm too old to fall asleep, I'll take a nap, and when I wake up, I'll tell you about my business plan."
Jian Xiaoxing was reluctant, but still smiled: "Okay." ”
After Chen Xiulian entered her house, only Jian Xiaoxing and Shen Ze were left in the living room.
Jian Xiaoxing raised his legs and walked out of the door, "I'll go outside and come back later." ”
Since she promised Shen's mother, she is not easy to break her promise.
When he passed by the door, his arm was grabbed by Shen Ze, "Come into the house and rest for a while!" ”
Jian Xiaoxing's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous.
Shen Ze only has two rooms in the house, does she want to sleep with Shen Ze?
Absolutely not!
It only takes one year, and when she is admitted to university, she can leave the chemical factory and leave Haicheng, and during this time, it is better to keep a distance from Shen Ze.
Jian Xiaoxing hesitated and didn't move, and Shen Ze continued:
"I don't want my mother to be suspicious, you go to sleep, I'll sit and read."
After saying that, he walked into the room, walked straight to the desk under the window, and really took a copy of "Mechanical Drawing" and read it.
Jian Xiaoxing raised his eyes to look at the increasingly hot weather outside, and retracted his legs.
Shen Ze is a person who loves cleanliness, his bed is clean and tidy, the quilt is still tofu blocks, and there is a faint fragrance of laundry detergent on it.
Jian Xiaoxing lay on the bed with his clothes closed, and after a while, he made an even breathing sound.
Shen Ze estimated the time and turned around, and saw her with her hands on her chest and breathing calmly.
He walked over lightly and found a thin coat to cover her.
