"Don't blame your mom, she divorced me."

Chen Xiaochao was stunned, and the fork in his hand fell on the table.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Chen Yi's father and son returned home together.

Looking at her son who was following Chen Yi, Pei Wenping was hesitating about how to ease the relationship with her son, but Chen Xiaochao took the initiative to walk in front of her.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

Looking at her squirming son, Pei Wenping was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, eat first, I steamed your favorite pork ribs." ”

"Hmm."

One of the father and son went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and the other went to the kitchen to serve food, Pei Wenping happily turned around and knocked on the door of the second bedroom.

"Xiaolu, come out for dinner."

After waiting for a while and not hearing a response, Pei Wenping reached out and pushed the door, only to find that the door was locked from the inside.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Chen Yi, who came behind him at some point, Pei Wenping said angrily: "Xiaolu knows about the divorce." ”

Chen Yi was silent for a while, and said, "I'll tell her, you go and set the dishes and chopsticks." ”

Pei Wenping didn't say much, turned around and went to the kitchen.

I don't know what method Chen Yi used, but he really coaxed Chen Xiaolu out of the room.

"Come, eat pork ribs, it's good while it's hot."

Pei Wenping diligently sandwiched a piece into her son's bowl, and then put another piece in her daughter's bowl.

Chen Xiaolu coldly moved the rice bowl to the side, and the ruddy and shiny ribs fell on the dining table with such a "snap".

"What are you doing?" Chen Xiaochao was the first to speak.

Chen Yi followed suit: "Pick up the ribs." ”

Chen Xiaolu was out of breath, picked up the ribs on the dinner table and threw them back to the plate, then put the chopsticks down, threw down the sentence "I'm full" and got up and went back to the room.

There was silence at the dinner table.

Chen Xiaochao was confused, "What's wrong with her?" ”

"Let's eat, the food will be cold in a while." Chen Yi said loudly.

Chen Xiaochao looked at this, then at that, and buried his head in nibbling on the pork ribs in the bowl.

A meal that ends in a dull atmosphere.

……

"Mom scolded you when we weren't at home?"

In the second bedroom, Chen Xiaochao looked at the taciturn Chen Xiaolu and speculated: "If you quarrel with your mother because of me, it's not necessary, there must be a reason why my mother refuses to go to Shanghai......"

Chen Xiaolu raised her head and interrupted him, "You scolded right!" She's just selfish and self-serving! ”

Chen Xiaochao was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "Don't talk about mom like that." ”

"I'm going to say it! The mouth is on my face, and I want to say it, can you handle it? ”

Pei Wenping was introduced into the room by the quarrel between the two sisters and brothers, "Xiaolu, Xiaochao, what are you arguing about?" ”

Chen Xiaochao replied stupidly, "I didn't make any noise."

Chen Xiaolu directly turned her back and lay on the bed, and covered her head to her feet with a quilt, obviously ignoring Pei Wenping.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yi, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, heard the movement and also came into the room, looked at the two children, and then looked at Pei Wenping.

"I'll go out." Pei Wenping turned around and walked out of the room tiredly.

"It's so late, where are you going?"

Chen Yi followed behind her, his face full of concern, "I'll go with you." ”

"No, you're watching them from home."

As soon as he finished speaking, his arm was grabbed by Chen Yi.

Facing his stubborn eyes, Pei Wenping had to explain where to go: "I'll talk to Mingzhu about something, and I'll come back later." ”

Chen Yi let go of his hand at this time, "Be careful on the road." ”

After seeing Pei Wenping go out, Chen Yi returned to the second bedroom.

"What are you guys doing again?"

Chen Xiaochao pointed to Chen Xiaolu on the bed, "Ask her, who knows what nerves she has." ”

Chen Yi walked to Chen Xiaolu's single bed, stretched out his hand to uncover the quilt, and couldn't help but be speechless when he saw the other party's red eyes.

……

"Am I doing something wrong?"

Looking at Pei Wenping's lost and dazed appearance, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart.

In the past, she was also deeply affected by her parents' divorce, and even now, this influence has not disappeared.

But the twins are luckier than her, even if Pei Wenping and Chen Yi are divorced, they still work hard to take on the responsibilities of parents.

"Eldest sister, many things can't be summarized simply by right and wrong, things in the world are inherently dilemmas, we are ordinary people, and we can't satisfy everyone."

"But I firmly believe that the premise of loving others is to love yourself first. A good mental outlook, a healthy body, and an adequate economy are all indispensable foundations for survival. ”

"Blindly obeying children will only develop their selfish and arrogant character. I think you can talk to the children and teach them to distinguish between right and wrong, respect, understanding and tolerance. ”

……

It was half past ten when Pei Wenping got home.

Chen Yi sat on the sofa and read quietly, looking like he was waiting for her.

"Call Xiaolu and Xiaochao out, I have something to say."

Hearing her say this, Chen Yi hesitated a little, "Do you have to do it now?" It's not early, they probably fell asleep......"

Under Pei Wenping's death gaze, Chen Yi closed his mouth and got up to knock on the door of the second bedroom.

In other words, she will definitely take into account the child's rest and do not disturb it.

But a conversation with Shen Mingzhu made her feel empowered.

She didn't owe anything to the children, and even went to the ghost door to close the door in order to give them life.

If her connivance and connivance can only be exchanged for complaining and blaming, then I'm sorry, she won't serve in the future.

The two children were quickly called out.

"Mom, what the hell is going on?"

Chen Xiaochao yawned, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

In contrast, Chen Xiaolu was silent and quiet, but deliberately did not make eye contact with Pei Wenping, obviously still angry.

Pei Wenping looked at the two children, took a sip of honey and moistened her throat before she spoke-

"I divorced your dad because he cheated."

Chen Xiaolu raised her head suddenly, looking at Chen Yi's eyes full of shock and disbelief.

In contrast, Chen Xiaochao seemed much calmer.

In the afternoon, when he was in the café, Chen Yi told him the truth.

And he also made a private agreement with Chen Yi not to tell Chen Xiaolu about this, and he would help Chen Yi save this marriage.

didn't expect that Pei Wenping would take the initiative to break this secret, and she was a little at a loss for a while.

"Dad, is what Mom said true?"

Chen Xiaolu was shocked and injured.

She only knew that her parents were divorced, but she didn't expect that the reason was Chen Yi's cheating.

"It's me who I'm sorry for your mother, and the responsibility for the divorce lies with me."

Chen Yi's honesty undoubtedly hit Chen Xiaolu hard, and also made her feel ashamed because of her anger with Pei Wenping.

Pei Wenping continued: "The reason why I chose to hide it is because I don't want you to be affected, but I found that I was wrong, you are not small, you should know the truth, and learn to distinguish between right and wrong." ”

Chen Xiaochao couldn't help but plead for Chen Yi: "Mom, just forgive Dad, he knows it's wrong." ”

Chen Xiaolu also hurriedly raised her head, pleading in a pleading tone, "Mom, can you give Dad another chance?" Although Dad did something wrong, but we are a family, shouldn't we give him more forbearance and a chance to mend his ways? ”

Pei Wenping looked at the two children calmly.

"You can't force me to forgive your dad, just like I won't force you to forgive your little friend who has hurt you. But as a mother, I will try to give you the care and love you deserve, and I can only promise you that I will visit you in Shanghai every month in the future. (End of chapter)
