On the fourth day of his return, Shen Mu bought two cans of milk powder and went to the family home of the chemical plant, his eldest brother Shen Guirong worked as a technician in the chemical factory, and his parents followed Shen Guirong to live in the family home.

When Shen Mu came, Wu Guifen was preparing dinner, and when she opened the door to see that it was Shen Mu, she was a little surprised, "When did you come back?" ”

She looked at the thing in Shen Mu's hand, and took it without waiting for Shen Mu to speak.

Shen Jianhua sat on the wooden chair in the living room, saw his youngest son who he hadn't seen for several years, stood up happily, and asked at first glance, "When did you come back?" ”

Shen Mu walked into the living room, a pungent smell came, and the ground was full of all kinds of garbage, almost drowning the living room, "It's been a few days since I came back, why is there so much garbage at home?" ”

Shen Jianhua said: "It's all the rags that I picked up with your mother, and I haven't had time to sell them yet." Outside, the neighbors always complained, so they simply left it at home. ”

Shen Mu frowned, sister-in-law Gu Man is from the city, can she bear to turn her home into a garbage dump?

"Big brother, what about them?"

"Moved away..."

Before Shen Jianhua's words were finished, Wu Guifen interrupted, she opened the cloth bag and saw that it was two cans of milk powder, and said unhappily: "What are you doing when you buy these things, it's a waste of money, if you are really filial, you might as well get us some money." In the four years you have been on a business trip, Liu Yanning has never given us a penny, and has spent it all by himself. ”

A can of milk powder costs more than 30 yuan, and after buying these two cans of milk powder, Shen Mu has more than a dozen yuan left, but Wu Guifen casually threw the milk powder on the table, "I'll give it to your nephew to eat in a while." ”

Shen Mu took a slow breath and asked Shen Jianhua, "Big brother, where did they move to?" ”

"Sunshine Community, I bought a public house, and I moved out two years ago."

Wu Guifen turned around and went into the kitchen to cook, and Shen Jianhua pulled Shen Mu to ask long and short questions.

It didn't take long for Wu Guifen to come out with two dishes, "Let's eat." ”

Shen Mu walked over, and on the table was a plate of vegetarian fried shredded potatoes, a plate of home-pickled pickled cucumbers, and corn porridge.

"That's what you usually eat?" Shen Mu frowned and asked.

"Then what else can you eat, we can't afford to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, your salary was all spent by Liu Yanning, your eldest brother borrowed more than 10,000 yuan to buy a house, and all the relatives in the family have borrowed it, can we not save some money?" Wu Guifen said.

Shen Mu hadn't eaten with his parents for a few years, and he didn't dislike drinking corn porridge.

But from the moment he sat down at the dinner table, Wu Guifen began to count the willow smoke.

"You don't consult us if you marry this daughter-in-law, learn from your eldest brother to find a city person, who can't carry it on his shoulders and can't carry it, if he starves to death in the countryside of his hometown!" You haven't been at home for the past few years, and she is out of the wall! Everyone in your family home knows that she is on good terms with a person surnamed Song! ”

Shen Mujunlang's brows twisted into a ball, "Don't say these words that catch the wind and shadows, it will ruin her reputation!" ”

"Ah Bao was smart when he was born, he smiled when he saw me, you look at Ah Bao now, she has been raised as a fool, like an old queen mother, and asks someone to serve her, you work hard to earn money, she spends it unscrupulously! Looking at the furnishings in the house, the old queen mother did not have a good life as her. ”

"....." Wu Guifen almost didn't stop for a moment, all talking about how bad Liu Yanning was.

Shen Jianhua buried his head in eating and didn't say a word, he was so submissive in front of his old wife all his life.

"Okay Mom, let's eat." Shen Mu couldn't help but interrupt.

Wu Guifen has been strong all her life, everyone in the family had to listen to her orders in her previous life, and in the second half of her life, her eldest son found a daughter-in-law in the city to kill her majesty, Gu Man also took her eldest son and did not obey the call, Wu Guifen was aggrieved, and wanted to arrange a country daughter-in-law for her younger son, and put on her mother-in-law's style, but before she could get her wish, the younger son also found a daughter-in-law in the city.

The little daughter-in-law doesn't take her seriously.

"You left the day after you got married, didn't you?" Wu Guifen lowered her voice, "In the past few years, I have watched Ah Bao, and the more I look at it, the more I feel that it is not like you, not like your own child, you don't want to be a king!" ”

"Bang!" Shen Mu, who endured it again and again, slammed the bowl on the dirty dining table, Huo Di stood up, his chest rose and fell violently in anger, and he looked at Wu Guifen and said word by word: "Mom, I don't want to hear you play with Liu Yanning's rights and wrongs in the future, and I don't want to hear you say that Ah Bao is not my own child." ”

Whether it is biological or not, Shen Mu knows very well, when Liu Yanning married him, she was an innocent girl.

Bao, that good boy, Shen Mu knew it was his son as soon as he saw him.

Wu Guifen was startled, clutched her chest and shouted, "I'm your mother, can I hurt you?" Broken incense is not for fun! You can't ask for such a coquettish woman, take advantage of your youth, divorce and find another one. ”

Shen Mu turned around and left.

When he went out, he heard Wu Guifen's cry from behind, "Shen Jianhua, look at your son, I don't appreciate it for him!" Liu Yanning is a goblin! ...”

Shen Mu strode forward, trying to escape from the pungent and stuffy air. The night wind howled, but it couldn't blow away the boredom in his chest.

Before he came back, Wu Guifen liked to say that Liu Yanning was not in his family letter, Shen Mu was too busy to pay attention to it, and there were many times, plus he wrote to Jiang Jianlin to ask Liu Yanning and the child about the problem, Jiang Jianlin said it implicitly, but between the lines it was also corroborating Wu Guifen's words, and Shen Mu believed it a little at that time.

But when he came back and really saw Liu Yanning and Ah Bao, all those gossips were self-defeating, Ah Bao couldn't speak, but he was sure that Ah Bao was not stupid. Liu Yanning doesn't care about the child as Wu Guifen said, on the contrary, she raises the child very well, and with this, Shen Mu believes her.

Shen Mu scurried around the streets like a headless fly, he didn't want to go back to the cramped and cold guest house, but he didn't know where he should go.

When he came back to his senses, he was already standing in the family courtyard of the Aerospace Institute, his legs seemed to be no longer his own, and he was directed to the door of the house.

It was getting late, the birds were returning to the forest, and there was no one to be seen outside.

The lights of thousands of homes were lit up in the night, Shen Mu stood quietly under the steps, the small red brick house was cutely dormant in the night, and there were figures swaying in the window from time to time, he didn't know what was going on, but just looking at it like this, he felt a lot better.

Liu Yanning took a bath for Ah Bao first, and then washed another one herself, it was much cooler at night, but just came out of the bathroom, the air was damp and stuffy, Liu Yanning pushed open the window, wanting to ventilate the home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the window, she met Shen Mu's gaze. He stood under the old soaphorn tree next to the steps, his eyes that were always embarrassed and a little lacking in vitality, but he was still as tall as a jade tree from a military background.

The creaking sound of the window woke Shen Mu up, and the lights in the room jumped out, illuminating his panic.

Liu Yanning, who had just taken a bath, was wearing a loose milky white nightgown, her pretty face was as white as a tender lotus root that had just come out of the water, and she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Shen Mu, "Why are you here?" ”

Shen Mu coughed lightly, "I... I'll take a look at Po. ”

He didn't expect Liu Yanning to invite him in, but when he came, he really wanted to see Ah Bao, "Is Ah Bao asleep?" ”

As soon as he finished asking, Bao's little head appeared by the window, he was too short, and when he was close to the window, only a pair of smart eyes were exposed, and when he saw that it was Shen Mu, Bao's eyes lit up, and then he turned his head away and quickly ran away.

Liu Yanning was silent for a moment and said, "Come in." ”

Shen Mu almost couldn't believe his ears, and on the other side, Aunt Qin had already opened the door quickly and beckoned to Shen Mu, "Come in." ”
