"What's that smell, Huixin? Is the pot burnt?"
Looking at the mother and daughter hugging and crying, Dad Chen couldn't help but remind them,
"Oh, there are chicken wings stewing in the pot!"
As she said that, Mother Chen suddenly let go of Chen Jing and ran to the kitchen in a panic. Chen Jing looked at her mother's anxious back, turned around and smiled at her father.
This is her home, the home she loves so much.
Dad Chen said the food would be ready in a while, so he pushed her back to the house to rest. Chen Jing wanted to go into the kitchen to help her mother, but was driven out by the two elders. "Go, go, go back to the house to rest. Your dad and I don't need you to help us cook. Go quickly."
Chen Jing had to smile bitterly and retreat from the kitchen. Back in the house, Chen Jing swept the big and small things in the bedroom. Nothing had changed. Even though she seldom came back, her parents always cleaned her room. The awards and dolls she had as a child were still prominently placed in their original places.
Chen Jing felt so at ease lying on the bed where she had slept since she was a child.
After a while, she fell asleep.
Dad Chen came into the room to call her for dinner. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his daughter sleeping soundly. Dad and Mom Chen tiptoed to their daughter's side and looked at her carefully. Looking at Chen Jing's cute sleeping face, their 28-year-old daughter still looked like a child in their eyes. They looked at each other and smiled. Chen Jing felt the burning gaze and opened her eyes lazily.
What caught my eye was the concerned and doting look in my parents' eyes.
Chen Jing stretched and said softly, "Dad, Mom, what are you doing~"
"Get up and eat, Nannan. The meal is ready," said Mother Chen as she picked up slippers and put them on Chen Jing. She then took her daughter's hand and went to eat. Father Chen, who was standing behind them, looked at the two women in front of them and smiled with great satisfaction.
This is the most precious gift in his life, and no one can hurt it.
From this meal, you can tell how much her mother missed her. For the three of them, her mother prepared twelve dishes. Her father, who usually doesn't go into the kitchen, also made a cold dish of three shredded vegetables. Her mother said that her father learned this dish especially for her.
Chen Jing didn't know why, but this time when she came back, she was easily touched and wanted to cry as if it were worthless.
She tried her best to control herself, but her red eyes were seen by Chen's father and mother. They both tacitly felt that something must have happened when their daughter came back this time.
Seeing that their daughter was trying her best to endure it, Chen's father and mother were very tactful. As long as their daughter didn't mention it, they pretended not to know. At the dinner table, the three of them finished the meal happily. Chen Jing hadn't eaten so full in a long time.
"Mom, I feel like I'm going to throw up,"
"Who told you to eat so much? What if you get indigestion later?"
"Mom, isn't this because the food you cook is so delicious? I haven't eaten it in a long time."
"Then stay a few more days. Mom has taken a leave from school these days and will make delicious food for you every day at home."
As Chen's mother spoke, she pulled Chen Jing to the sofa. Chen Jing lay on her mother's lap. Chen's mother rubbed Chen Jing's belly while nagging her.
What a blessing! Chen Jing sighed.
Dad Chen was very considerate and did not disturb the warmth between mother and daughter. He went to wash the dishes on his own initiative.
"Nannan, how many days do you plan to stay this time?"
Chen Ma asked
"Well, I'll stay for three or four days. After I get back, I have to go to work, so I can't stay too long," Chen Jing replied patiently.
"Go to work? Why do you suddenly want to go to work? Does Ziyang know?"
"Well, I'm just too bored staying at home. I want to go back to work."
Mother Chen seemed to be thinking about something, but she didn't ask directly. She felt that her daughter seemed to be deliberately avoiding something. She just thought that the couple might have had a quarrel, so she didn't ask any further. She decided to wait for her daughter to have a good rest in two days before asking.
In the afternoon, Mr. Chen did not go to the laboratory because his daughter came back. Chen Jing played chess with Mr. Chen for the whole afternoon.
"Nannan, you're a little impatient playing chess today, huh?"
After hearing what Chen's father said, Chen Jing looked at the chessboard. It was true. Normally, she could play a few games with Chen's father, but today, the situation took a sudden turn for the worse. The offensive was swift in the beginning, but it was useless in the later stages.
Chen Jing sighed helplessly, "Dad, did you secretly practice chess while I was away? You are so good at it."
Of course, he was happy that his daughter was flattering him, but it was obvious that she was doing this to avoid his own deep questions.
Father Chen seemed to see through her and continued, "Nannan, remember, no one and nothing can influence your decision. The only one who can influence you is you."
Chen Jing looked up, and through her father's eyes, she seemed to see herself clearly.
She lowered her head and responded seriously.
After an afternoon, Chen Jing's back and waist ached from sitting.
Dad Chen was used to it and didn't feel tired at all.
The meal at noon was so delicious that Chen Jing didn’t feel hungry at night. Chen’s mother just cooked a few dishes for her, but they were still Chen Jing’s favorites.
The love my parents have for me is really overflowing.
Chen Jing felt that as long as she returned home, she would be fully charged, but when should she bring up the matter of divorce?
In fact, Chen Jing still noticed some abnormal behavior of Chen's parents today. She could see that her parents were worried about her, and she didn't want to avoid it deliberately, but she just hadn't figured out how to start the conversation.
At this moment, Chen Jing was really grateful that she had such a pair of understanding parents, and always had been.
Chen Jing spent her first day back home happily.
Lying in her familiar bed at night, Chen Jing felt more peaceful than ever before. Usually, she had to read a book or do some exercise before falling asleep, but today, it only took her about ten minutes from lying down to falling asleep.
This night, sweet dreams...
Early the next morning, Chen Jing was awakened by the sound of talking. Chen Jing rubbed her head irritably, got up and opened the door to see who had come. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a straight and tall figure rushing towards her.
"Brother, what are you doing!"
"Hey, see how brother behaves,"
The person who came was Chen Jing's cousin Chen Fan.
Chen Jing's uncle has only one boy, Chen Fan, in his family, but his uncle prefers girls. So since childhood, Chen Jing has often been taken out to play by her uncle. Chen Fan has accepted since childhood that since she is the only sister in the family, she must love and protect her.
Upon hearing that his sister had returned, Chen Fan, who had just returned from abroad, came home early in the morning.
Chen Jing pushed her brother, who had a loud voice, away and said, "Brother, don't you know how loud your voice is? You woke me up."
"Oh, I missed you so much, who told you not to tell me when you came back, huh?"
Chen Fan didn't care about his sister's complaints at all. He was used to the way they got along as siblings.
