Chapter 28: Twenty-Eight Untitled
Chen Yun is indeed living the life she wanted, and the thing she fears most is the emergence of any unstable factors that may destroy everything.
The elders are the same as her, especially Liu Yingxia.
Liu Yingxia is a person who can't keep things to herself. On the way home, she whispered to her daughter: "Do you know who was in the store just now?"
Who? Chen Yun joked: "The Jade Emperor?"
Liu Yingxia was still a superstitious person, and she slapped her daughter in annoyance: "Don't talk nonsense."
He lowered his voice again: "The kid with the surname Hu."
Fortunately, there were few people on the road at night, and even cars passing by were rare, so Chen Yun did not miss her mother's silent words.
She said, "What's wrong?"
Liu Yingxia glanced at the father-in-law and son-in-law who were walking together and supporting each other: "Doesn't Feng Lin know him?"
Chen Yun felt that Song Fenglin might not be able to see it with his myopia, so she lifted her son's hand, which was about to fall off, and said, "If he sees it, then he sees it. Your ex-boyfriend is not your lover."
Even though it was a dialect, Liu Yingxia was afraid that her granddaughter would hear it: "You can say such nonsense with your mouth."
Chen Yun loves her parents, but she also knows that they have many shortcomings, such as being feudal and conservative.
When she first met Song Fenglin, her parents repeatedly told her to pretend that she had never been in love, as if that was the most shameful thing in the world.
But Chen Yun herself didn't care: "It's just a joke."
Liu Yingxia couldn't laugh: "I'm afraid Feng Lin will see you and quarrel with you."
Chen Yun: "When have you ever seen us quarrel?"
He added: "It's been more than ten years. Song Fenglin is not as stingy as you think."
Liu Yingxia was worried: "Men may not say it, but they definitely care in their hearts. Tell me, how did you let Feng Lin know about this person?"
Chen Yun was a little unhappy: "Why, I have to give him a chastity arch before I marry him? It's the 21st century."
Even if another hundred centuries pass, Liu Yingxia will still think: "You are a girl, how can it be the same?"
He was relieved and said, "Feng Lin is really good in every way. He is a son-in-law that can't be found anywhere else. He doesn't care about anything."
Chen Yunteng was furious: "I just had a relationship, it's not like I killed anyone or set anything on fire, what do you mean by not caring about anything?"
She raised her voice so high that it startled her son in her arms, and even her daughter stopped and looked back.
Liu Yingxia rubbed her hands together helplessly: "What happened?"
Then he hurriedly made sure his son-in-law didn't hear the little conflict.
Chen Yun closed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath: "Don't say such things in the future."
Parents are limited by their cognition and have their own stubborn concepts about everything in the world. Even if they agree with it verbally, it is difficult to change their true thoughts.
Just like covering one's ears and stealing a bell, Chen Yun didn't say anything and just assumed that there was no such difference. She poured a basin of cold water on her heart and said, "Go home."
Liu Yingxia may not be able to sort out her daughter's anger, and perhaps even in the closest relationship there is no way to fully understand each other.
She agreed cautiously, which only made it more painful.
On the one hand, Chen Yun couldn't control her temper, but on the other hand, she always felt guilty after losing her temper.
She concealed her true emotions and forced a smile: "Xingxing, run slowly, don't fall down."
Chen Xingyue was also easy to fool, so she didn't take this incident, which was not really an episode, to heart.
She rushed forward and squeezed between Grandpa and Dad.
After drinking three bottles of beer, my father-in-law couldn't even walk in a straight line.
Song Fenglin was originally supporting him, but was almost knocked down by his daughter's push. He managed to stand up: "Xingxing, Grandpa is drunk, you better be careful."
Chen Xingyue nodded obediently, looked at her grandfather's red face and asked, "Grandpa, are you hot?"
Chen Yongzhong said in a loud voice: "It's not hot, not hot at all."
The tone was very high, but when I got home I didn't even have the energy to take a shower and just fell asleep.
Liu Yingxia went to the second bedroom with her quilt in her arms and urged her son-in-law who was sending the old couple home: "Your father is fine, you should go back quickly."
Song Fenglin: "Okay, Mom, you should go to bed early too."
When he returned to his home a few buildings away, Chen Yun had already changed his son's clothes and put him to bed. She was standing at the door of the public bathroom, urging him, "Xingxing, hurry up and take a shower. It's too late."
Chen Xingyue likes playing with water recently. She can rub out three kilograms of bubbles with her shower gel. Usually, she suffers from "pretense of obeying" and secretly disobeying.
But she was probably sleepy today. Soon she came out rubbing her eyes and crawled into the quilt.
Her battery was drained and her breathing became heavy soon.
Unlike my younger brother, who couldn’t even open his eyes but still acted like a spoiled brat and refused to sleep.
Chen Yun just coaxed him for a while before he lay down obediently. Seeing this, she turned off the night light in the children's room and went to the living room and said, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
Song Fenglin sat on the sofa and patted the seat next to him: "I have something to tell you."
Why does everyone have something to say? Chen Yun's temper, which she had just suppressed, came up again. She thought that if he was upset about Hu Yuchen again, they would have to have a fight today.
Her impatience was faintly visible in the corners, and Song Fenglin was puzzled: "Are you very tired? If you are tired, wake up and talk about it."
He whetted people's appetite with a brief introduction, and then added, "We'll talk about it another day."
Chen Yun squinted at him, with a spark in her tone: "Just say it directly, don't drag it out."
Song Fenglin quickly said, "Wait until I finish my resignation procedures, or let my parents go back to their hometown to live for a while."
His words sounded like he was trying to get rid of them, so he quickly tried to make up for it: "What Dad just said to me, I guess he wouldn't have been too embarrassed to mention it if he hadn't been drinking. They've worked hard for us for several years, and they couldn't even stay in their hometown for a few more days during the Chinese New Year. Now that I'm free, I can let them go back and rest."
Parents are always attached to their hometown and occasionally mention the idea of returning to one's roots.
Chen Yun was like a balloon that had been punctured. She felt deflated and her nose was slightly sour. "Is that what you want to tell me?"
Song Fenglin: “Yes.”
He noticed her eyes were red again and was startled: "I don't mean to chase them away, I really want them to have a good rest, otherwise they will always be around us and the children in Ningjiang and can't stop for a moment."
Of course Chen Yun knew that he was not, and seeing him so anxious and at a loss, she just wanted to laugh.
She said, "Well, I'll listen to you."
ah? Are you the one who makes the decisions in this family?
Song Fenglin didn't feel like a serf rising up at all, and he explained more carefully: "I swear to God..."
Chen Yun interrupted him: "I believe it, please say less unlucky words."
This sounded like a normal tone. Song Fenglin brushed the corners of her eyes with his fingertips: "So you can't bear to leave your parents?"
Chen Yun: "I'm not a child."
She picked up the pillow beside her and said, "They can live their own lives now."
For some reason, all Song Fenglin heard were sighs.
He never received much love from his parents, and in the past ten years, he has only felt grateful for the love they have received: “It really wasn’t easy for them.”
Chen Yun suddenly wanted to open up: "I was always happy when I was little. They didn't force me to study, sent me to the interest classes I wanted to attend, were the first to pick me up from school every day, and played house with me..."
Those things that she took for granted made it even more clear how lucky she was thirty-three years later.
Compared with the old couple, Song Fenglin admits that he pales in comparison: "Among the elders I know, my parents are indeed the best."
It is because it is good that people always ignore the bumps and stumbles in their hearts.
Chen Yun: "So I decided a long time ago that even if I get married and have my own family in the future, my parents will still be a part of it."
Song Fenglin remembered something and asked for the first time: "So that's why you're with me?"
His parents are divorced, and to a large extent there are no conflicts in integrating the two families.
Chen Yun: “Not just that.”
Getting married is a very important matter, and she thought about it again and again before making up her mind.
Song Fenglin became curious and asked, "What else?"
Chen Yun hesitated, clenched her hands into small fists, and seemed ready to give a long speech. Finally, she squeezed out a sentence: "You are a good person."
Song Fenglin: "I thought this was a comment someone would make if they weren't with me."
It sounds like a consolation prize.
However, Chen Yun's expression was very serious: "Do you know how difficult it is to be a good person?"
Song Fenglin hesitated: "I don't really know."
Chen Yun: "Take my friend's ex-boyfriend for example. When I was in school, he brought her breakfast every day, picked her up and dropped her off at the dormitory, and queued for three hours just to buy her a pancake. Doesn't that sound great?"
Song Fenglin didn't notice her suspicious pause and nodded: "Yes, very good."
Chen Yun: "At first, my friend and I felt very happy. But the boy was from Ningjiang, and his parents didn't agree with him dating someone from outside the area. When he first met his parents, he looked at my friend coldly. The boy advised her to come over more often to show her affection and move the elders with her sincerity. The girl didn't agree, and we broke up later."
Before this later, there were certainly many straws that broke the camel's back, but times have changed and now only the results remain.
Song Fenglin sounded more and more familiar with the situation: "Did you tell me about this?"
Chen Yun: "Not just you, I've told this to several guys I thought were pretty good, but you're the only one I didn't say 'If you really love the other person you won't give up so easily'."
Song Fenglin didn't expect that he had fought many battles, but he was still curious: "If I didn't say so, I'm a good person?"
This evaluation standard is completely different from what he believed in as all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor.
Chen Yun said confidently: "I'm looking for a partner, and if I say yes, it's yes!"
She raised her head slightly, as if saying, "If you dare to disagree, just give it a try."
Song Fenglin: "Well, I'll listen to you."
Then he said with a little embarrassment: "That's why you like me."
He is already thirty-five years old, which has nothing to do with the word teenager.
But perhaps when it comes to the word "love", he is still immature.
Chen Yun didn't dare to look him in the eye for a moment, and lowered her head: "We get along best."
Even though she didn't want to admit it, she knew she was taking advantage of his love.
On the contrary, Song Fenglin felt that getting along well was better than "liking" each other, and smiled shyly.
Chen Yun moved closer to him and said firmly: "I will treat you better."
Only in this way can she better convince herself.
Without those unknown backgrounds, this is just a confession.
Song Fenglin was happily immersed in it, and everything seemed calm.
