152 In this life, in this life
But what Chen Wengang didn't know was that before he came to the door, the uncle's family had just had a big quarrel.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Chen Zeng bought some crabs, and the day after tomorrow is Saturday, he wants to invite his nephew to come to the house for dinner, ice in the refrigerator, ready to serve the pot when the time comes. The two sons were hungry and clamoring to eat, but he didn't agree. When I came home from work on Friday evening, the house was full of crabs.
Chen Zeng lifted the lid of the pot and was a little unhappy: "Didn't I say that it will be steamed tomorrow?" ”
His wife didn't care: "When the child grows up, what's wrong with eating a few crabs?" ”
"What's wrong with eating a few crabs, for guests, Wengang will come to eat at home tomorrow, he won't eat them all, and when the time comes, the whole family will share it together, so he can't wait for a day?" Two little cubs, their mouths are so greedy? ”
His wife sneered: "The mouth is gluttonous, it's so fresh, the first time I heard that my son was hungry when he ate something." ”
Chen Zeng put the lid back on the pot, too lazy to bother with the yellow-faced woman at home, and opened the refrigerator to count how many crabs were left.
On the contrary, his wife did not give up, chattering: "Why don't you say that you have no ability, earn that little money, and almost lose it, you only bought such a small dilapidated building when you are old and bearded, and you repay the loan every month, and you have a lot of money in your pocket, and you can't have much left at home......
"What have I married you all these years, have I ever had a good life, I have been a mother and a servant for your family, working and serving the children, I myself am not willing to eat or drink, this is good, I still have to serve you, serve your relatives?
"Also, what is the whole family, who is the whole family with you? As for your nephew, who can't carry it clearly and has white eyes, his heart is gone to outsiders, do people treat you as a family? Are you Alzheimer's, the original house in our family, he said to cheat away, where do you think you are his uncle, I am his aunt, wolf-hearted thing......"
Like a cannon, Chen Zeng listened impatiently, and pointed at her nose: "Long hair and short knowledge!" You talk to me carefully, what kind of wolf-hearted thing, our surname Chen is still a family, and you even scolded me? ”
Not to mention that it's okay, his wife was cutting ginger, and with a bang, the kitchen knife slapped on the case: "Who are you threatening!" I gave birth to two sons for you, what's the matter, their surnames are Chen, and your nephew's surname is Chen, but I don't have a surname, right? I'm just an old woman! ”
After arguing back and forth like this for a long time, Chen Zeng's temper ran out.
He pointed to the tip of his wife's nose: "I could have had a good life, but you have to spill, don't forget, this family is all raised by me, you usually buy cosmetics for yourself, buy bags, buy shoes, don't be soft, a few crabs, you have the ability to earn your own money to buy them!" ”
Regardless of the heat, his wife reached out and lifted the steamer: "Then don't eat it!" ”
Chen Zeng was so angry that his hands trembled, the lid of the pot was dripping on the ground, and the steam in the pot was emitting white smoke. The two sons were playing games in the living room, but after their parents quarreled for a long time, they heard the pots running over one by one, and saw the crabs turning over all over the ground, and they screamed one by one.
Chickens and dogs jumped, and he couldn't eat dinner, Chen Zeng was upset, slammed the door, and went to the community pavilion to smoke.
The fight between the two in-laws is actually not much of a big deal, and a fuse will make a big fight, and often the grudges will not be stored for a day or two.
Chen Zeng felt that it was already very hard to go to work. When he first entered the Zheng family to seek a job, he relied on Zheng Yucheng's relationship, and at the beginning, everyone regarded him as a relationship with the eldest young master, and his colleagues were polite to him
Divide. After a long time, seeing that his background was not so hard, Zheng Yucheng didn't remember to take special care of him, and that special treatment and respect gradually disappeared. Even so, changing jobs is definitely not considered. His current position is a small supervisor, and when he gets mixed up at this age, he can only go low when he goes out to find a job, how can he still have a chance to be promoted?
Chen Zeng is a little confused, and some things are clear, although that Young Master Zheng has no special relationship with his nephew, in the end there is still a love for growing up together, plus some old feelings are not over, at least he will not be expelled. The yellow-faced woman at home is shallow-eyed, and she will only get angry, and she will tear his face with Chen Wengang, don't you want this job? In the future, do you change to the dock to unload the goods or move bricks at the construction site?
As for the family side, it is just as annoying.
Chen Zeng's salary to support his wife and two sons is reasonably enough - although Chen Xiangling can't stop them from going to school, at least they don't have to pay a penny from the family, Chen Zeng thinks about it, and admits it. It's just that when you really calculate the accounts, raising two sons is like two bottomless pits, and how much to fill is still not enough.
It's like their husband and wife bought a school district house and moved in order for their children to go to school, but who knew that they failed because the test scores were not enough, and the two high school choice fees were spent. My wife has very high expectations for her son, and she wants to give them the best in everything, one-on-one cram schools, various interest classes, and others participate, she wants her children to participate, hoping to send them to study abroad in the future, at least to mix better than her daughter. In addition, game consoles, mobile phones, computers, give whatever you want, and buy a house for both of them in the future......
According to this appetite, even if Chen Zeng sells his kidney, he can't make so much money.
He is under a lot of pressure, and his usual anger is inevitably great, and his wife's temper is also rising. In the past, when her daughter was at home, she was obedient and sensible, helping to share most of the housework, and she was quite nourishing, but now, as she said herself, she is a mother at home, day by day
By the next day, the anger of the two couples had not subsided.
Chen Zeng got up, and his wife was lying on the bed, with her back to the door, saying that she was not feeling well.
He really couldn't help it, he was not angry: "Okay, you don't cook, I'll do it!" ”
&n
bsp; At noon, the doorbell rang, he called twice, and his two sons were still playing games in the living room, as if they were deaf, and they didn't move for a long time. Chen Zeng scolded the little rabbit cub twice, and went to open the door while wiping his hands, Chen Wengang stood outside the door with two bags of fruit in his hand.
Uncle and nephew looked at each other, Chen Zeng looked at his nephew, he hadn't seen him for a long time, Chen Wengang Oxford shirt, black trousers, like a young scholar with a faint expression, a gentle smile, and couldn't find fault.
He let Chen Wengang go to the living room, Chen Guangzong and Chen Yaozu had their eyes glued to the TV, holding the handle in their hands, stretching their necks forward, the battle was fierce, and they wanted to get into the screen.
Usually his son is also this dignity at home, but suddenly there is a comparison, Chen Zeng felt unspeakably unhappy in his heart, and suddenly reprimanded loudly: "I only know how to play!" People who come don't know how to pour water! ”
Chen Guangzong and Chen Yaozu looked at him inexplicably, and they didn't know why their father suddenly lost his temper so much.
Chen Wengang smiled, how could he not smell the strange atmosphere in this house. Although he didn't know why he quarreled, he didn't talk much. The two nephews reluctantly paused the game and poured water, and the three of them stared at each other until Chen Zeng shouted to start eating.
He prepared the meal by himself, but Chen Wengang's aunt still said that she was not hungry and would not eat.
After persuading her for a long time, she came out and served the table, her face was still not good, and she was scolding Sang throughout the meal
Huai, yin and yang.
After eating, he pushed the bowl and went back to the bedroom to lie down.
Chen Zeng showed some embarrassment on his face, he asked Chen Wengang not to mind, hastily cleaned up, and the two drank tea and chatted.
Chen Wengang is here today, and everyone knows why. But he has also practiced Tai Chi at home, and when it comes to the houses and shops under Chen Xiangling's name, he just pretends to be deaf and dumb, and then asks if the girl wants to marry a little, which is not much.
Chen Zeng played a lot of emotional cards with him, and even took out the old photo album at home to be nostalgic - the photo album was even older, and I don't know where it came from, there was a smell of dust, and there were Chen Wengang's grandparents in it, as well as photos of his father and uncle when they were young, Chen Wengang was the first time to see it.
In the end, it was useless, it was still their own words, Chen Wengang finished being a guest, patted his ass and left.
After another four or five days, he received another call from his two nephews.
This time, Chen Guangzu and Chen Yaozu looked for him because his parents had been in a cold war for several days, and Chen Wengang's eldest aunt was annoyed, so she didn't cook for her husband or wash his clothes, and only took care of her own life and her two sons every day.
As a result, Chen Zeng was also very annoyed, thinking that she didn't spend enough money, and her salary was no longer paid to her family. This family conflict intensified like adding fuel to the fire, the husband and wife shot several times, even the TV was smashed, and the game consoles of both of them almost suffered.
Chen Wengang had to go to the door again and persuade a few words.
It was not clear whether it was useful, he also played a trick, gave Chen Guangzong and Chen Yaozu a little pocket money, and after going out, let the two of them take out the old photo album, pick and choose some of the photos in it, and bring it back to collect by themselves.
His uncle Chen Zeng probably didn't look at the album again, and he never found it later.
These old photo films are gone, Chen Wengang took them and scanned them, left a bottom, and bought a photo album for the original version and put it up.
He put this volume together with the other three books on the shelf - in addition to the one he had when he was a child, the other two volumes had one of his own portfolios, and the other was a photo of him and Huo Niansheng.
Later, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Wengang and Huo Niansheng went to the market and saw a stall selling hairy crabs. When he had dinner at his uncle's house, he basically didn't touch it much, and then he remembered that they bought a basket, gave a little to the neighbors, and took the rest back to eat.
The freshly listed crab was steamed, the paste yellow was plump, the meat was tender, mixed with a little ginger vinegar, the two of them turned on the TV, poured a little rice wine, in addition to the crab, Huo Niansheng also made a few dishes to celebrate Chen Wengang's birthday.
He had a simple birthday this time, which was requested by Chen Wengang himself - after his mentor returned to China, he was naturally busy with his studies during this time, and he had to take care of work, take time to prepare for the wedding, and choose customized dresses.
For this make-up wedding, although Huo Zhenfei felt that it was child's play, he still compromised.
As for Chen Wengang, although he behaved plainly and didn't care much, he was obviously in a good mood recently. He often buys things in the grocery store, and the boss recently engaged in a shopping and sticker delivery activity, and one day when Huo Niansheng came home, he saw Chen Wengang reading the literature seriously and concentrating, but Harley was plastered with shiny colored sequins all over his face, colorful, and wearing a Venetian mask.
In the evening, Huo Niansheng went to the study again and found that the shell of his laptop was still covered with the little prince.
He admired it for a long time, but he didn't reveal it, so he took it to work for a few days.
One day when I arrived at the company, the general secretary hesitated for a long time and asked euphemistically: "Mr. Huo went to take care of the children yesterday?" ”
Huo Niansheng said: "No. He asked, "What?" ”
Amanda walked over and quizzled as she removed a little fairy sticker from his back.
Huo Niansheng thought for a while, and in the morning Chen Wengang tied him a tie, gently touched his back, and told him to work hard.
In front of a cadre of subordinates, he laughed without hesitation.!
