Chapter 19 Nineteen Explanations
When Chen Yun got off work, Song Fenglin had already picked up the child and brought him home.
He sent the older and younger ones to play in their rooms, because it was not appropriate to start such a serious conversation. He coughed awkwardly in the living room and said, "Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you."
Just like the phrase "Are you there?" always triggers people's endless imagination, Liu Yingxia and Chen Yongzhong were both startled by their son-in-law's sudden seriousness.
Especially Liu Yingxia.
She was not a very courageous person to begin with. When something happened to her, she would toss and turn and couldn't sleep at night. Her face turned pale. "What's going on?"
Song Fenglin didn't bother to say anything else, fearing that something might happen to his mother-in-law.
He said: "Nothing, I just lost my job."
No, how can this be called nothing?
The old couple looked at each other and asked tentatively, "So you're just not going to work for the time being?"
Song Fenglin: “Maybe one or two years.”
He added: "But there is a compensation, probably less than one million."
Even if you have more, it will be all gone.
Liu Yingxia let out a half-breathed sigh, but her husband glared at her and she quickly withdrew it, lowering her head to hide her expression.
Chen Yongzhong didn't dare frown: "Does Chen Yun know about this?"
Song Fenglin: “I know.”
I can't help young people with their affairs.
Chen Yongzhong: "That's fine. Your mother and I have our own hands and feet. The child is grown up now, so there won't be any difficulties that we can't overcome."
Song Fenglin: "Dad, it's not that serious. We won't be short of money at home."
He was not pretending to be a big shot, he just carefully calculated the accounts and made preparations for the worst.
Chen Yongzhong is not as far-sighted as them, he only knows how to solve whatever problems he faces.
He thought that he couldn't work as a delivery boy for three days and rest for two days in the future, so he said, "You two just need to discuss it. Your mother and I have saved about 200,000 yuan and will transfer it to you tomorrow."
Song Fenglin couldn't accept it, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Really, no need."
The two sides pushed the issue back and forth for a few times before Liu Yingxia interrupted: "Then Mom will save some for you. Just ask if you need money."
Song Fenglin nodded, feeling that the matter was over, and stood up: "I'll go in and let Xingxing do his homework."
He felt like a huge weight had fallen from his heart, weighing down the old couple's heart.
Chen Yongzhong lowered his voice and said, "Ask the kid what happened tonight."
It's a good job, why do you just quit?
Liu Yingxia can't wait until night.
She said, "I was just about to ask Feng Lin, but you winked at me."
Can it be the same? Chen Yongzhong: "He must be worried because he lost his job. I'm sorry to bother you asking me again."
The daughter is her own child, so she should tell her parents everything.
Liu Yingxia thought that her son-in-law didn't look like he was annoyed. In the evening, he seemed more energetic than in the previous few days.
But she listened to the man on important matters and said, "Okay, I'll go cook."
Chen Yongzhong also found something to do and played with his grandson in the living room with the toy train.
Chen Xinyang dubbed every car. He couldn't stop once he started, and his voice was almost hoarse from entertaining himself.
Chen Yongzhong: "Yangyang, drink some water."
Chen Xinyang couldn't suppress his excitement. He jumped onto the sofa and danced on it.
Chen Yongzhong felt sorry for his things and quickly caught him: "It's broken."
Chen Xinyang struggled to get out of his grandfather's arms, and the next second his hands and feet seemed to be frozen.
Chen Yongzhong looked back at the entrance: "You are afraid now that the person who punished you has returned?"
Chen Xinyang lay on his grandfather's shoulder without saying a word, looking so well-behaved.
Chen Yun didn't notice anything either.
She threw the packages she was holding onto the ground and sat down cross-legged to open them.
Chen Yongzhong would not allow her to do this at this time, and said, "Baby, your mother is calling you."
ah? Chen Yun pinched her earlobe: "Why didn't I hear it?" She stood up with her hands on the ground and walked towards the kitchen while tying her hair.
As soon as Liu Yingxia saw her, she closed the kitchen door like a thief: "What's going on with Fenglin's job?"
He confessed so quickly without even discussing his testimony in advance.
Chen Yun took out her phone and looked at it nonchalantly, "It's just layoffs."
Liu Yingxia has only worked odd jobs throughout her life, and what she fears most is instability.
Her heart was pounding: "What should I do next?"
Chen Yun: "Take a break and then look for a job."
She said it so casually that Liu Yingxia half believed it and half doubted it: "Feng Lin said he won't go to work for a year or two."
I said so much to the adults, but only said one sentence to my wife: "I told my parents that I quit my job."
Chen Yun was holding the package and didn't have time to read it, but that didn't stop her from thinking quickly: "So it's a rest, look at him, does he look healthy?"
Fifty years ago, a son-in-law's physique was a sign of good fortune.
But now it is the 21st century. Liu Yingxia: "Definitely not. Staying up late every day."
Chen Yun: "That's right. If he is in a hurry to find a job, your daughter will become a widow."
He added: "Don't worry, there are a lot of companies looking for him."
Liu Yingxia: "Really? They say it's hard to find a job this year."
Chen Yun asked back: "When have I ever lied to you?"
The more determined her daughter was, the more relieved Liu Yingxia felt.
She is not a person of great wisdom, and she relies on other forces: "I was just saying that I felt uneasy in the temple today. This must be the instruction of the Bodhisattva."
No matter what kind of feudal superstition it is, as long as it can make her life better, it's fine.
Chen Yun: "Then burn more incense tomorrow and pray for peace."
Yes, yes, that’s right.
Liu Yingxia's attention was successfully diverted, and she was thinking about what tribute to buy.
Chen Yun shook her head helplessly, and went to the living room and said to her father, "It's nothing. When have I ever made you worry about me?"
The thing Chen Yongzhong is most proud of in his life is his daughter, so he is not really worried.
He said, "Dad knows you are on top of it."
Chen Yun had known everything since she was a child. She arranged her education, work, and marriage all by herself, and she didn't make any wrong steps.
She smiled without saying anything and turned her head to play with her son.
Chen Xinyang wanted to perform somersaults for his mother, but after all his effort he only rolled three times on the ground.
Chen Yun applauded enthusiastically: "Great."
Chen Xinyang believed it and became more and more excited. He wanted to show off all his skills and even danced a piece that was to be performed on Children's Day.
Its little hands and feet moved around like tadpoles that had just grown four legs.
Chen Yun kissed her son's face and said in an exaggerated tone: "Oh my God, our baby is so amazing."
Chen Xinyang was very satisfied and bowed in a proper manner: "Thank you, Mom."
He is really cute. I will play with him for a while and then go into the study to take a look.
Chen Xingyue was writing new characters, but because of her clumsy imitation, it looked more like painting, and the strokes did not follow the rules at all.
Beginners are all like this. Chen Yun: "Xingxing, can we try to write it in the grid?"
Chen Xingyue found it a bit difficult and pouted: "It keeps running outside by itself."
Chen Yun said with a smile, "Then lock them all up and sentence them to life imprisonment."
The child selectively ignored the serious words of the adults. Chen Xingyue just looked up and asked: "What do you mean by life imprisonment?"
Chen Yun stared at Song Fenglin for two seconds, wondering whether to scold him for not telling her in advance.
She said, "Ask your father."
Song Fenglin felt scared when he was stared at by her and couldn't figure out what he had done.
He mouthed, "What's wrong?"
There was clearly a third person here, and Chen Xingyue was very dissatisfied: "You are not allowed to whisper."
Chen Yun held her down: "Mom won't tell Dad, she'll only tell you."
Something was even more wrong. Song Fenglin grabbed the edge of her pants without saying a word.
Chen Yun patted the back of his hand, knowing that he must be confused, and said, "Don't be amused."
Oh, this is also part of the joke. It seems that I have no sense of humor.
Song Fenglin is very good at self-reflection. He twitched his lips in agreement and said, "I was scared to death."
The words are true, but the expression is fake.
Chen Yun thought that she knew his personality very well and regretted that she shouldn't have scared him casually. Her tone was as soft as a freshly baked steamed bun, and she poked his forehead: "Silly."
Song Fenglin smiled quite foolishly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Chen Xingyue was even more unhappy, and stood between her parents: "No showing of affection!"
Where did she learn this phrase? Chen Yun: "Do you know what it means to show affection?"
Chen Xingyue raised her chin: "Of course?"
She said with a resolute look on her face: "You two cannot be the only ones who are good friends."
It's okay to understand it this way. Chen Yun fixed her daughter's hair and said, "Our family of six is the best in the world."
Yes, that's the way it should be.
Before Chen Xingyue could say a few words of thanks, her mother urged her to do her homework with a stern face.
Write it down, the little girl sat there unconvinced, muttering, "I'll tell you when we eat."
Unfortunately, she had a bad memory and by the time she sat down at the dining table, she had forgotten all about it and was only concerned with sharing corn kernels with her brother.
At this time, her knowledge came in handy and she was able to count from one to one hundred.
Chen Yun was used to seeing the two of them taking turns to eat one pill at a time.
It's not just her. Parents have all learned not to express their opinions casually. After all, they will make up quickly after a quarrel, but they will always remember the slightest bit of unintentional favoritism of the adults.
In a family with two children, chaos is the norm.
The Changci and Yougong that Song Fenglin had imagined had completely become a dream, and sometimes he even didn't know who they were following.
Curiosity had been hidden in his heart for several years. Before going to bed at night, he suddenly asked: "What were you like when you were a child?"
Chen Yun shook the quilt, thinking that he was just talking casually, and coaxed her like a child: "She is an invincible fairy."
Song Fenglin said with a smile: "Besides being beautiful, what else?"
Chen Yun squinted at him and said, "Are you not satisfied with just being beautiful?"
Song Fenglin: "A fairy should be more than just beautiful, right?"
He actually got me back on track. Chen Yun thought for a while and said, "Actually, he's quite ordinary. He's naughty and plays all the time, thinking about playing all the time."
Such ordinariness does not exist in Song Fenglin's life.
He asked, “Did you have fun?”
Of course, Chen Yun: "When I was a kid, I was very popular. I had good grades and lots of pocket money. Everyone wanted to play with me. They also let me skip rubber bands without holding the rope, vault horse without being a horse, and have an extra chance to take foreign painting photos..."
She spoke with great joy, and Song Fenglin showed a hint of satisfaction, as if he had made up for his past through her experience.
