After a busy day, Master Du finally returned home in the evening. His father and mother had already prepared a rich dinner to reward the glorious people's teacher Master Du for his busy day. Master Du entered the house, happily washed his hands and face, and sat at the dining table, waiting for the sumptuous dinner.
"How's it going? Are you tired today?"
Ms. Ren Surong was the first to ask Du Chen.
"How could it be tiring? At most, you're just standing on the podium. How could it be more tiring than my job as a repairman?"
Comrade Lao Du was speaking sourly and sarcastically, saying that his wife was really unfair. When Du Bin and Du Chen were both studying in Beijing, his wife and Lao Ding's wife always cooked together, and he and Lao Ding had to go to restaurants to have a bite to eat from time to time. But as soon as his eldest son came back, they had to stew meat and boil fish. Comrade Lao Du felt that he was so pitiful.
Old Ding standing by naturally curled his lips. How tiring could being a primary school teacher be? No matter how tiring it was, could it be as tiring as his and Lao Du's previous jobs?
"Old Du, you're wrong. How can a teacher not be tired? My legs used to be swollen from standing all day in class, and my mouth was dry at the end of the day. I also had to eat chalk dust and get angry with little kids. How can I not be tired?"
Jia Xiaomin, who was also a glorious people's teacher back then, was unhappy when she heard Comrade Lao Du's words. What's wrong with being a teacher? Aren't teachers tired?
"Xiao Jia, I don't mean to be angry!"
When Comrade Lao Du saw that his future mother-in-law was angry, he quickly explained that that was not what he meant.
"So what do you mean? Are you unhappy to see your son?"
Ren Surong questioned Comrade Lao Du unhappily. She didn't know why, but she felt particularly unhappy and unhappy when she saw Comrade Lao Du during this period. There was always a fire in her heart that she couldn't vent.
Comrade Lao Du immediately frowned. Wasn't it just a casual remark? How did it stir up such a hornet's nest? And was it even targeted by the two hostesses?
Old Ding couldn't help laughing when he saw Comrade Old Du being humiliated. You're such a bad-mouther, looking for trouble, right? Fortunately, I was a little slow in speaking, otherwise I would have been the one getting scolded.
"Old Ding, what are you laughing at? You said Old Du didn't say anything about you, right? Don't think I didn't see you pouting just now! Were you cursing me and Sister Ren in your heart?"
What made Lao Ding dumbfounded was that he just pouted and laughed secretly, but he was targeted by his own wife. Is this fair? Lao Ding felt that his life was too difficult and he felt that he could not go on like this.
Du Chen, who was standing by, first looked at his father and Lao Ding being scolded with a gloating look, then stared at his mother and Jia Xiaomin thoughtfully for a while, and then he had a guess in his mind.
In the end, Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding gave up. Seeing the two hostesses asking Du Chen about his well-being, they both felt a little uncomfortable drinking.
Everyone finished dinner in a strange atmosphere. Ms. Ren Surong and Ms. Jia Xiaomin cleaned the house and then watched TV series together in the living room, commenting on them from time to time. Du Chen quietly observed the two of them again.
The depressed Lao Du and Lao Ding went to the study, which was renovated by Du Chen. It was equipped with a sound system, a grass pot, and a tea table. This was specially prepared by Du Chen for Lao Du. What man doesn't want a small space of his own? A small space with no restrictions and a few hobbies.
Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding were drinking tea in silence when Du Chen pushed the door and walked into the study.
"Dad, Uncle Ding, are you having tea?"
Du Chen greeted him.
Comrade Lao Du rolled his eyes at Du Chen. Isn’t it obvious? What else can he do without drinking tea?
Du Chen looked at the sour faces of Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding, knowing that they were in a very bad mood. He sighed inwardly, thinking that his rebirth was too difficult.
"Dad, Uncle Ding, are you unhappy?"
Du Chen asked knowingly.
"That's all nonsense! Didn't you see your mother's attitude last night? Second brother, let me say this, but your mother is getting more and more excessive. She always quarrels with me! I really am..."
Comrade Lao Du was angrily complaining about his wife, and Lao Ding beside him nodded in agreement, as his wife was the same.
Du Chen quietly listened to the complaints of Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding. It was nice to let them vent their emotions.
Finally, Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding said they were tired, and they picked up their teacups and started drinking tea.
"Dad, Uncle Ding, this is really not my mom and aunt's fault!"
Looking at the two people who had vented their anger, Du Chen finally spoke.
"Why don't you blame them? Why don't you blame them and blame us?"
Old Ding also looked at Du Chen angrily. He originally thought that Du Chen was in cahoots with them.
"Dad, Uncle Ding, this really has something to do with you."
"Come on, tell me how this has anything to do with us?"
Comrade Lao Du put down his teacup and asked Du Chen. If Du Chen couldn't answer "one, two, three", he would let Du Chen see what a father's love was. Even though Du Chen had grown up and started working, he was always the father and Du Chen was the son.
"Dad, Uncle Ding, you must not have noticed before. My mom and Aunt Jia must have some health problems, so they are in a bad mood. They are either manic or depressed!"
Listening to Du Chen's words, Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding looked at each other at the same time. It was indeed as Du Chen said, the two of them did have some emotional problems. They were like powder kegs that could explode at any time. Or they kept talking about when Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao would get married and when they would have children.
"Chenchen, you said your mom and your Aunt Jia are having health problems? What's the problem? Is it serious?"
Comrade Lao Du, who had reacted, asked Du Chen anxiously, "Seeing that they were living such a good and comfortable life, they couldn't have any problems with their health!" Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding were suddenly anxious.
"Dad, Uncle Ding, don't worry!"
Du Chen first persuaded the two to relax.
"I've observed my mom and Aunt Jia, and I feel like they're about to reach menopause! You should take some time to take my mom and Aunt Jia to the hospital for a checkup and check their estrogen levels."
"menopause?"
The two spoke in unison.
"Yeah, that's right. My mom and Aunt Jia aren't young anymore this year. I think they're almost fifty!"
The issue of menopause involves the secretion of menopausal estrogen. It is difficult for a young person like Du Chen to explain it in detail, so he can only remind his father and Lao Ding to take his mother and Aunt Jia to the hospital for a check-up.
According to Du Chen's analysis, when my parents were young, they had no money and their nutrition was not enough, so they had some physical deficiencies. However, if they were treated with targeted conditioning and replenished their bodies, it is estimated that menopause could be delayed.
However, Du Chen thought so, but he couldn't tell them, so he could only remind them roughly.
"Not tomorrow, I'll call your third aunt first to ask for advice!"
Comrade Lao Du is no longer thinking about getting angry. His first reaction is to ask a professional.
