Chen glanced at her lovingly and shook his head: "That's not right, I have to take a look and ask about the situation." ”

He Zao threw away the book: "Then I'll go with you." ”

Don't worry about her......

A warm current surged in Chen's heart, and he felt that it was worth coming back to the old mansion, but he stopped her: "No, you read your book, I'll go over and come back immediately." ”

He Zao didn't force it anymore, told her a few words, and watched the other party lift the curtain and go out.

Mrs. He was angry just now, how could she miss this opportunity, and scolded Chen severely, saying that she only cared about going home, leaving a mess of things behind, not being filial, and the daughter she taught was not educated, etc., and scolded Chen a bloody dog.

Moreover, thinking that she was afraid of being heard by He Zao, her voice was very low, and she naturally lost much momentum.

Chen is a troublemaker, bowed his head and listened like a log, the former scolded for a long time, but did not give any reaction, Mrs. He was impatient, and waved her hand: "Get out of here, don't get in my way here." ”

Chen answered "yes" and turned to go out.

Mrs. He felt that she had scolded for a long time, but it had no effect at all, and she was even more depressed.

He Zao could vaguely hear the voice from the upper room, listened to the movement over there, and didn't hear Chen's voice for a long time, so he was a little worried about whether she was being bullied, and got up to take a look, and saw Chen coming towards him, with a completely relaxed posture on his face: "Zao'er, why did you come out, let's go into the house." ”

He Zao squinted his eyes and took a closer look at her face, and felt that he didn't look like he had been bullied, so he didn't ask more.

After reading the book for a while, she went to bed.

Her blood-sucking mosquitoes didn't sleep well at night, and in the middle of the night, as if she heard someone swatting something, she barely opened her eyes and was startled to see the dark shadow in front of her.

She sat up, lit up in the dim light, and said in surprise: "Mother, what are you doing here?" ”

Chen had just killed a mosquito, and when he saw her wake up, he apologized: "I woke you up?" There are many mosquito pupae in the house at night, and we haven't smoked it yet, and this mosquito chrysalis is shrewd, sticking it on the roof one by one, and coming down to suck people's blood at night. ”

He Zao still looked at her, his eyes were clear and bright.

Chen Shi was a little uncomfortable and explained: "I heard that you were restless in your sleep, and you kept shooting mosquito chrysalis, and I couldn't sleep, so I came in and patted you ......."

She was wearing a gray patched dress, with shoes on her feet, her hair was not pulled up like during the day, but just casually draped, her eyebrows and eyes were soft, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, and she looked like she had the feeling of a mother.

He Zao's heart trembled slightly, as if he had been gently plucked by something, bringing an indescribable throbbing.

She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't make a sound, and tried to take a deep breath before she reluctantly smiled: "It's because there is no popularity in this house, and after living for a long time, there will be fewer mosquito chrysalis!" ”

"Hey, yes!" Chen waved his hand at her: "You go to sleep, I'll shoot two more to death, it's almost over, smoke it again tomorrow, it's fine." ”

Somehow, if it was usual, He Zao would definitely get up and shoot mosquitoes with her, but now, she was lying there unwilling to move, nodding lightly, and not making a sound.

But she didn't sleep either, she just kept looking at each other.

Chen Shi held a kerosene lamp, climbed to the side of the cabinet, and killed the last mosquito, so he couldn't help laughing: "This mosquito chrysalis has to climb high and low, and you have to be careful of falling!" ”

He Zao smiled quietly.

"What, it's not early, go to sleep." Chen waved at her, took two steps, paused again, walked over, and carefully tucked her quilt: "You have to cover it, autumn, it's cool at night." ”

He Zao let her tuck the quilt for herself, and her big eyes stared at her for a moment.

Chen was embarrassed: "What's the matter, keep looking at me!" ”

He Zao tilted his head sideways and thought about it, before he suddenly spoke: "I just think my mother is so good-looking tonight!" ”

Chen's cheeks were slightly red, he glared at her, and couldn't help laughing: "Your mouth is sweet, you can speak, and you have coaxed many people!" ”

She didn't like He Zao's words before, and felt that a girl's tongue was too sharp and unchaste, and it would be difficult to find her in-law's house in the future. But after being together for a long time, she felt that being able to say it didn't seem to be a bad thing. Every time I hear her babbling, it makes people happy from the inside out.

He already giggled.

Chen reached out and stroked her exposed hair, and whispered, "Go to sleep, early, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”

Those hands were far softer and warmer than He Zao thought.

Her heart was at once silent, as if she were a traveler on a long voyage, and saw the harbor of home, and all the mixed thoughts were gone, and she suddenly felt confused, closed her eyes, mumbled, and fell into a deep sleep.

Chen saw that she was still talking, and fell asleep in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help laughing: "Is it a child?" Then he tucked the quilt for her, and then went out with the kerosene lamp.

Her heart is as calm as He Zao.

The next day, the task of the two mothers was much lighter, they were here to serve the old lady, not others, so they only had to be responsible for Mrs. He's meals alone, even He Tangerine's did not need to prepare.

Ma Shi held back his anger early in the morning, entered the kitchen to cook, and when he saw that Chen was cutting vegetables with a chopping board, he couldn't help the anger, and pushed the kitchen door loudly, and his tone was also very impulsive: "You occupy the board, how can people cook?" ”

He Zao was burning the fire under the stove, and his figure was blocked by Chen, and Ma didn't see her, so the anger was more painful.

But unexpectedly, she poked her head out from behind and grinned: "Big lady, no way, who let us cook for my milk, then if you can't wait, you go and say to my milk, let her wait, and when you all eat, we will cook it for her?" ”

Ma glared at He Zao viciously.

The latter was not afraid at all, and looked back at her faintly.

Ma Shi glanced at Chen again, who was still chopping vegetables unhurriedly, she was so angry that her chest was tight, and she knew that she would not be able to please herself if she continued to talk, so she turned around and went out.

Chen was a little worried: "With this big stove fire, it must be late to eat today." ”

He Zao was very calm: "It's late, it's late, wait when you're hungry, since you let us make a small pot of rice, then we should prepare in advance, nothing, is it to let us cook rice empty-handed?" There is something wrong with this old house, but we are right! ”

Chen said suspiciously: "Do you say that your eldest lady wants us to go home and get her stove back, so she hid the one in this kitchen?" ”

Originally, there was a small stove used in the kitchen for winter, and now it is also used to boil medicine for Mrs. He, but when she got up early in the morning, she couldn't find it, and there was no way, so Chen used a big stove to cook.
