Chapter 10: Mother and Son
Shen Yanzhi took a taxi, took Shen's mother to find a dumpling shop to eat dumplings, ordered a three-fresh meal for Shen's mother, and ordered a corn fresh meat for himself.
This dumpling shop has been doing it for more than ten years, and the faΓ§ade is a little dilapidated, but the dumplings are really good, Shen Yanzhi's mother often brought him when he was a child, it is not expensive, but the taste is very authentic.
At this time, night has fallen, the streets are lit up with neon lights, reflecting the dark night with charming colors, people who are afraid of heat dormant during the day have also come out and walked around, and the street vendors have gradually broken into people's sight, and the bustling city has begun to be lively again.
"Here, your dumplings, the stuffing of three fresh, the ...... of corn meat filling" The young man carried a large tray in his hand, grinning, and there was a smile on his eyebrows, "Auntie and Brother Shen haven't been here for a few days." β
The two large bowls of dumplings are full, and they are still steaming, the dumplings float in the hot water like a plump fat doll, the dumpling soup has a very delicious taste, and the dumplings with very beautiful shapes are paired with green onions, which makes people appetize.
Shen Yanzhi smiled and reached out to pick it up, while talking to him, "Sanque, I'm here to help your aunt again." β
Sanque is a very clever young man, sixteen years old this year, he doesn't like to read on weekdays, but he is very diligent in doing things, the owner of this dumpling shop is his aunt, his parents died, his uncle did not leave half of his children in a car accident and left, leaving only his aunt a woman's family, opening this dumpling shop to pull him up, fortunately, Sanque is obedient and filial, and treats his aunt like a mother.
The name of the three missing is taken by a Taoist priest, his real surname is Qin, and he doesn't call it this name, as for what it is called, he himself has forgotten, but the Taoist priest said that his fate is not good, to put it bluntly, he restrained the people around him, so he gave him the name of three shortages, lack of relatives, lack of wives and daughters, lack of money, and tried to live well by hiding from the sky.
"My aunt is old and her eyes are a little bad, so I'll be here to help in the future. "Sanqi is not tall, and his smile is a little cold, but he is indeed a more thoughtful young man.
"It's fine. "Shen Yanzhi likes the three lack of filial piety, and it is not a bad thing to live in this city with some hearts, the main thing is not to do anything hurtful.
"Boss, come with two dumplings!" Someone next to him shouted, although Sanque wanted to say a few words to Shen's mother and Shen Yanzhi, but because of business, he had to answer, and said to the two of them, "Auntie, Brother Shen, you eat first, I'll be busy first, I invited today's dumplings." β
"Go ahead. Shen Yanzhi nodded, then pushed a bowl of dumplings in front of Shen's mother, and his flat tone eased, "Mom, you eat dumplings." β
Mother Shen looked at the dumplings on the table, the white dumplings were crowded among the tender green onions, very beautiful, the hot smoke of the dumplings rose, and through the faces of the mother and son, her vision gradually blurred, as if she hadn't seen this son for a long time.
"Feast ......" she picked up the chopsticks and stopped talking, as if she hadn't had a good meal with this child for almost three months.
She spends a lot of her thoughts on the Song family, busy with the affairs of the Song family, busy with Song Wenbin's affairs, Song Wenbin's parents were very busy when he was a child, and many times Song Wenbin was still brought by Shen's mother, so he also has feelings for him.
"Yanzhi, you said that Wenbin should be fine......" Shen's mother was a little restless, she knew that Shen Yanzhi didn't like Song Wenbin very much, but she couldn't help it at this moment.
"Mom, it's okay, don't worry. Shen Yanzhi sandwiched a dumpling and put it in Shen's mother's bowl, a faint smile was reflected in Shen's mother's eyes through the heat, she was a little uneasy, she had always been a little afraid of Shen Yanzhi's eyes, so cold and deep, like the cold moonlight in the sky, cold, shining into her heart, as if she wanted to tear apart the most unsightly things in her heart and put them in the sun.
He has been like this since he was a child, calm and composed like a child, and sometimes she is afraid to face him.
"How can it be okay. Shen's mother rubbed her hands uneasily, her hands were a little vicissitudes, and they were a little slippery with too much dish soap and other things, she had suffered a lot when she took Shen Yanzhi, and now she finally settled down, Song Wenbin was raised by her, so she was naturally worried.
Shen Yanzhi suddenly felt bored, in his opinion, his life was given by his mother, he and his mother should be very close, but they couldn't get close, he once guessed that Shen's mother was deceived and abandoned by his father, so he had a grudge against him, in her opinion, Shen Yanzhi was not her son, but a creditor, and she didn't want to mention the past, so she didn't want to mention it, so he didn't ask.
But now, he suddenly wants to know, no one wants to be a person who doesn't know who his biological father is for the rest of his life, no matter who it is, whether it's a good person or a bad person, whether he should be close or revenge, he always has the right to know.
Thinking of this, he poured a cup of tea with some irritation, and the tea was a little inferior and bitter, which just suppressed the irritability in his heart.
"Mom, you never tell me about my dad. He spoke suddenly.
"Your father?!" Shen's mother trembled when she heard this, and the dumplings on the chopsticks also fell back into the bowl, splashing a little bit of soup, she looked at him with her eyes open, and her heart suddenly panicked, "You, what are you asking for?!"
"It's nothing, I just want to know. Shen Yanzhi frowned slightly when he looked at her movements, and always felt that something was wrong, but he explained in a whisper, "Mom, I'm grown up now, I can't even know who my father is." β
"I see. Mother Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled reluctantly, "It's not a thing, your father used to be a soldier and died in the line of duty." β
Shen Yanzhi frowned, always feeling that Shen's mother was not telling the truth, and there was something to hide from him, so he asked again, "Then what is my father's name?!"
"Plains, his name is Plains. Shen Mu's voice suddenly became a little sharp, as if she was trying to confirm something, and after shouting, she felt powerless and lowered her head.
Shen's mother's surname is Shen, he follows his mother's surname, he has known this since he was a child, so it is normal for his father not to have the surname Shen, it seems that there is nothing wrong with listening to her, but he always feels that something is wrong.
"Mom......" He was about to say something, and then Shen's mother suddenly stood up and was about to leave in a hurry.
"I suddenly remembered that there was still something to do at home, so I left first....."
"Mom, don't worry, eat first before leaving. β
"No, I'll go first. Shen's mother said that she turned around and left in a panic, and bumped into a couple when she left, she apologized in a panic, and then ran away, as if there was some monster chasing her behind.
Shen Yanzhi sat on the table, the two bowls of dumplings on it were still steaming, he slowly lowered his eyes, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, picked up chopsticks and finished eating the two bowls of dumplings. Things seemed far more complicated than he knew.
