Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Second Update
Gaining weight happens silently.
The current situation overwrote his memory, so that Song Fenglin couldn't remember when he had been thin.
Fortunately, there is a lot of evidence, especially a wedding photo that can be seen as soon as you look up.
At that time, it was not enlarged and hung on the wall, there was only a small photo frame that was originally placed in the entrance.
But with children, nothing can stay put.
This doesn't look like a good toy, it has been moved around a lot.
I don’t know which one of the two siblings moved it to the coffee table because he was in a good mood today.
When Song Fenglin saw it, he could still remember a few things that happened on the day the photo was taken.
First, he was not very good at smiling, and his limbs were stiff in front of the camera. Calling him a puppet was an insult to the puppet, after all, the puppet's joints were still flexible; second, it was the first time he saw Chen Yun wearing a wedding dress, and the neckline was all white, making it difficult to tell where to look; third, the photographer kept asking them to add an extra package, as if he had only seen this couple of guests in his life; fourth, Chen Yun was unhappy that day.
He's the kind of person who has a stern face, stomps his feet as he walks, and makes a "tsk" sound every three or two steps, clearly showing his displeasure.
Song Fenglin didn't dare to ask why at the time, because they got married after knowing each other for more than half a year.
When he proposed to her, he thought he would be rejected. Even her acceptance seemed incredible and like a dream. He was afraid that she would change her mind at the last minute, so he simply tried to cover up his mistake.
After so many years, it has become a mystery.
Song Fenglin thought: Why not ask now?
He lowered his head to take a look, but before he could speak, Chen Yun said, "It's almost nine o'clock, let's go take a shower."
Song Fenglin carried his son into the public bathroom and stripped him of his clothes, then he remembered that he had not brought his pajamas in.
He turned around to get it, and Chen Xinyang took advantage of this opportunity to play with water, blowing bubbles all over the wall.
Just play, childhood only lasts a few days.
Song Fenglin just held his hand down: "The water can't be directed upwards, or it will splash onto the lamp."
Chen Xinyang: "Why not?"
Song Fenglin: "Because water can cause electric shock."
Chen Xinyang: "What is electric shock?"
…
The father and son asked and answered each other, and Song Fenglin did not show any impatience.
When Chen Yun was about to read a story to her daughter who was bathing soundly, she walked past the public bathroom from the study to the children's room and couldn't help but urge her: "It's time to wash your skin."
Chen Xinyang was still playing with bubbles, his eyes sparkling.
He acted like a spoiled child to his father: "I haven't finished washing yet."
Song Fenglin held his armpit and said, "I don't want to be scolded."
He "forced" his son to dry, dress, and tuck him into bed.
Chen Xinyang rolled to his mother's right side and listened to English words that he didn't understand.
He seemed to be hypnotized, his little head nodding.
Raise the first litter according to the book and the second litter like pigs.
Chen Yun has a lot of experience in her daughter's education. She started training her daughter's ears before she even knew her ABCs.
Chen Xingyue has listened to it a lot. Although she still doesn't recognize many words, her basic listening and speaking skills are better than those of ordinary children of her age.
However, parents in Ningjiang are well-known for pushing their children too hard, and the Experimental Primary School is said to be full of talented students.
Chen Yun is also feeling conflicted now.
She wanted her daughter to be happier, but also didn't want her to fall too far behind, so she spoke more and more slowly as she thought about it.
The tone of voice was so hypnotic that the normally cheerful little story became unappealing. Chen Xingyue leaned against her mother and yawned. She didn't know when she fell asleep.
Chen Yun was about to close the book, but when she moved, she noticed her son startled and stared.
This child who has difficulty sleeping thinks he is very likable. He smiles at his parents and shows a row of little teeth.
Chen Yun lay down, put her hand on his back and patted him gently: "Mom will tell you about "Havoc in Heaven", okay?"
Chen Xinyang pulled his father and asked him to cover himself with the same quilt. He said excitedly, "I want to listen, I want to listen."
Song Fenglin stretched out his hand to turn off the light, and the room fell into darkness, leaving only a dim night light.
Chen Xinyang shrank into his father's arms and asked, "Mom and Dad will sleep here tonight."
When this room was first renovated, it was Chen Yun who made the platform bed against all odds.
It is three meters long, enough for a family of four to roll around.
Song Fenglin is such a big person that he is considered small even when he comes here.
He felt that his son was like a little chicken, and hugged him: "Okay, you sleep between us."
This is what Chen Xinyang meant, and he covered his mouth secretly: "I won't tell my sister."
After all, there's only one bowl of water, how can you make it level?
After the children fell asleep, Chen Yun whispered, "I should have known that I only needed one."
She was the first one to bring up the idea of having a second child.
She has been the core of her parents' life since she was a child, from her hometown Xinyao to Ningjiang thousands of miles away.
Probably everyone would not appreciate what they have, and for a while she felt that this kind of attention was suffocating.
Although she received a lot of love, it also served as an invisible constraint, prompting her to make all the important decisions in her life.
From further study, work to...marriage.
The last two words fell between the lips and teeth, turning into a silent sigh.
Song Fenglin couldn't hear what was in her heart and said, "When I was young, I hoped to have five children in the future."
What crazy things are you talking about? Chen Yun: "That's a nice thought. Do you think it's laying eggs?"
Song Fenglin was only ten years old at that time and had not received even the most basic sex education.
He even thought that holding a wedding would make someone pregnant, and then said: "There is a boy next door who is similar to me, and his parents are also divorced. But he has four older brothers and sisters, and they all take good care of him."
At that time, he had not seen many stories of brothers fighting each other or blood relatives turning against each other, so he thought that blood ties were such an intimate thing, and he dreamed every day of becoming him.
But God did not give him such an opportunity, and he remained that lonely person.
Because of loneliness, I long for companionship.
Chen Yun could understand: "But five is too many."
Song Fenglin: "In our place, talented people will not be bullied."
The people of Northwest China have been tough since ancient times. Twenty years ago, their hometown was a place where fists were the loudest.
He once told a story about a fight with someone, although Chen Yun always felt that it was exaggerated, especially when it came to whether his posture was heroic or not.
She said, "I never encountered a group fight when I was a kid. When I was in junior high school, I was even dragged to the bathroom for a talk."
After more than a decade, Song Fenglin was nervous for her: "Are you okay?"
Of course not. Chen Yun hesitated and declared in advance: "You are not allowed to laugh after I finish speaking."
How difficult must it be to talk about something that she could only say after ten years of marriage?
Song Fenglin had set his face in advance: "I will never smile."
Chen Yun: "I cried and told the teacher."
Junior high school students are more concerned about their reputation, and sometimes would rather swallow the bitter fruit than let the adults get involved. She was embarrassed for this and got the nickname "crybaby", which was even more despised than those who committed school violence.
Thinking about it now, it’s really infuriating.
Chen Yun: "We should just fight. If I lose, I can still tell about my heroic deeds."
Song Fenglin tried to find something to say: "Crying is also heroic."
It would be best if Chen Yun said: "It doesn't matter. I have too many stories to tell, and I don't need this one."
She shifted her sleeping position slightly: "But I feel worried when I think that Xingxing might encounter something like this in the future."
Song Fenglin: "How about sending her to learn martial arts?"
Chen Yun: "I took her to a trial class, but the several institutions nearby were not very good."
Her first principle is to stay close to home, otherwise just picking her up and dropping her off would be a big problem.
Song Fenglin did not participate in any of the classes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Yun: "There is one that doesn't have surveillance, and the classrooms aren't even half-walled with soundproof glass. I tell you, this is the bottom line. We Xingxing absolutely cannot go to a place that doesn't have these two things to attend extracurricular classes. There is another one..."
Song Fenglin didn't think the things she criticized were problems before, but they really became problems after she pointed them out.
He said, "According to this standard, I'm afraid we won't be able to find it."
Chen Yun: "It is better to have nothing than to have something bad."
He lacked confidence again: "If it really doesn't work, a little further away is fine."
Song Fenglin always wanted to do more for his children. Anyway, he had time recently: "Then I'll find it."
Chen Yun: "Let me tell you first, it may be harder than finding a new job."
Song Fenglin was not trying to argue: "It should be easy for me to find a job."
It seems so. He has already prepared himself mentally to deliver food and drive for Didi. What else can't he do?
Chen Yun: "Then I'll give you the task of picking up the child tomorrow. I have something else to do."
Song Fenglin followed up by asking, "What's the matter?"
Chen Yun: "The official statement is that we are discussing our family's next financial management plan with Perrin."
Song Fenglin: "What about unofficial ones?"
Chen Yun: "We are going to eat at the newly opened barbecue restaurant."
After all, it's their private time.
Song Fenglin: "Okay, go and have fun. I'm at home."
There was something strange about the tone that Chen Yun couldn't describe.
She pushed away her daughter's legs that were pressing on her, saying, "I feel like I'm going to the city to take the imperial examination, and you've been embroidering at home until your eyes are almost blind, saving money for my travel expenses."
Song Fenglin thought about the scene for a moment and actually understood her humor: "Later, you were the top scorer in the imperial examination and were going to marry a princess. I took my children and begged on the streets to seek justice in the capital."
If we continue singing, it will be "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty".
Chen Yun happened to yawn and stopped talking: "Go to sleep, good night."
Song Fenglin reached over his son and held her hand: "Good night."
At this moment, he was very glad that after so many years, he no longer needed to rely on imaginary brothers and sisters to find peace, but had someone who could truly accompany him.
