Chapter 50 Fifty Neglect
As the conversation got more lively, Song Fenglin's desire to talk seemed to open up.
He indulged in this happy atmosphere of just the two of them. When he saw her drowsy from the corner of his eye, he realized, "Go to bed early."
Chen Yun had been yawning for a long time and nodded slowly: "Let's talk tomorrow."
After she said these words, she leaned back and wrapped herself in the quilt, fitting tightly without leaving any space.
After a few seconds, I suddenly realized that this bed was for two people to sleep in, and I struggled to get out of the quilt like a silkworm chrysalis.
It was the middle of the night, and not only was I panting from exhaustion, I also got angry and kicked the quilt away.
Song Fenglin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Just cover yourself, I'm not cold."
He was afraid of heat, and at night he always had half of his body outside.
Chen Yun: "At least it can block my stomach."
After this busy period, she became energetic again, but when she looked at the time and thought about opening the store tomorrow, she quickly closed her eyes.
Song Fenglin stopped arguing with her and just thought about things quietly.
There is a phrase that goes, "cater to someone's taste."
If Song Fenglin is a boring and uninteresting person, then the person next to him is exactly the opposite type.
Chen Yun is curious about everything in the world.
She is a fan of celebrities, TV dramas, and novels. She likes to go out for delicious food, occasionally play the piano and practice yoga to cultivate her sentiments, and is keen on chatting about gossip with friends.
Even when she's alone, her life is wonderful, as if she doesn't need anyone to force her way in.
But Song Fenglin covered his stomach with the corner of the quilt, thinking that maybe he could have a place too.
Inspired by this, he got up and exercised without sleeping for a while, hoping to develop abdominal muscles as soon as possible.
Chen Yun was half asleep and half awake when she felt a space beside the bed. She turned over in a daze and said, "Buy breakfast."
Song Fenglin responded and stopped at the breakfast shop at the entrance of the community on his way back from the park.
There were not many customers in the store, so the proprietress said to him, "Is your sister-in-law still in her hometown?"
Song Fenglin really sometimes wishes he were a paramecium, so that no one would even look at him twice when they pass by.
But people living in this world always have many unexpected social interactions. He said, "Yeah, still."
If you run a shop, you need to be good at dealing with people and you can keep the topic going without any help.
Anyway, it will take another two minutes for the dumplings to be steamed, so there’s nothing to do but sit there.
The proprietress: "The countryside is nice, the mountains are mountains and the waters are waters..."
It would be too impolite to keep silent, so Song Fenglin had to say a few words casually.
He thought he should have ordered something ready-made, but it was too late to regret.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he picked up the bag, but while waiting for the elevator he met another neighbor.
The eldest sister is also a passionate person. She doesn't give people a chance to breathe after she finishes a string of words.
For a moment, Song Fenglin thought he had returned to his hometown.
He wondered who said that there was no humanity in city communities. As soon as the elevator door opened on the 22nd floor, he pretended to be calm and walked out.
The electronic lock clicked and the two children playing in the living room came over.
On school days, they would only open their eyes after being urged many times, but when they have holidays, they get up early and dance here at the sound of the crowing of the cock.
Song Fenglin smoothed his daughter's messy hair and asked, "Did you brush your teeth?"
Chen Xingyue said confidently: "Not yet."
Song Fenglin braided her hair into a simple pigtail and said, "Let's go now."
Chen Xingyue wanted to wait a while before going, but when she saw her younger brother run into the bathroom first out of the corner of her eye, she became anxious.
The brother and sister almost broke the door down, and their mother gave each of them fifty lashes of the cane early in the morning.
Chen Yun overslept and got up. After washing up, she took a bun from the table and said, "You do it. I'm leaving now."
After she said that, she put on her shoes and left, forgetting even to take her bag.
Song Fenglin dropped her off on his way to her after-school class. When he saw the person sitting there, he was startled. Just as he was about to say hello, Chen Xingyue jumped out from behind her father with a sweet voice, "Auntie Qingqing!"
It’s all thanks to having a baby.
Although his relieved expression was not very obvious, He Qingqing still saw the clues. After he left, she joked with her friend: "If you don't know, you would think your husband doesn't welcome me."
Chen Yun was rubbing her wrist during the intermission while waiting for the dough to ferment: "He looks like this on the outside, but he's very enthusiastic in his heart."
He Qingqing: "But it's improved since you first got married. Before, he really looked like he wanted to burrow into the ground."
It is not accurate to say that Song Fenglin has social phobia based on his personality.
He has fixed interpersonal relationships, and wants to avoid everything else, but he can still fool around when he needs to face it head-on.
Chen Yun: "If you had seen him the first time he came back to our hometown, you would have thought he was particularly calm when he saw you."
He Qingqing heard her mention her relatives from her hometown and asked, "With so many people around, didn't he run away on the spot?"
Chen Yun: “Almost.”
Song Fenglin probably felt like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting, but he also knew that it was a major life event that he couldn't avoid.
He can pretend quite well, but he has to do a lot of mental preparation every day when he wakes up, and he has to take a deep breath when a new relative comes to his house.
Hearing this, He Qingqing sighed: "Sure enough, it's not easy for both male and female wives."
Chen Yun: "That's not possible. It's easier for a man than a woman. After all, your mother-in-law won't worship you just because the child has the father's last name."
Because of this surname, everyone in the Chen family felt that Song Fenglin was at a disadvantage. They were afraid that he was not happy with his life, so they were very polite to him.
He Qingqing said in a serious tone, "You sound a lot like my husband when you say this. As expected, being a woman is a matter of circumstances."
Perhaps she felt it was impolite, so she added awkwardly, "We just had a fight before we went out, and I was a little emotional, but it wasn't directed at you."
Whether it's directed at you or not, it's all the truth.
Chen Yun was not angry, just stunned.
Only then did she realize that perhaps she had overlooked many of the hardships Song Fenglin had experienced in this marriage.
Or maybe she is not the only one who has made many sacrifices against her will in the past ten years.
Thinking of this, Chen Yun smiled bitterly: "It's okay, you are right."
Then he reacted: "Why did you quarrel?"
He Qingqing curled her lips and said, "We were talking about going to the confinement center. Anyway, he gets nervous when I mention my mom giving him money."
She touched her belly as she said this, and there was a hint of confusion in the loving care of a soon-to-be mother: "In this life, whoever gets married is really the sucker."
Between friends, not every sentence has to be continued.
Chen Yun may not even agree with her own choice, let alone easily judge others. She just asked: "Which one did you choose?"
He Qingqing: "It's not decided yet. I came to consult you."
She sat down and took out a few flyers. Chen Yun glanced at the numbers on them and clicked her tongue: "So expensive."
He Qingqing: "This is the price in Ningjiang."
She was straightforward: "Let me show off my wealth, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable."
Chen Yun smiled: "Don't you know that being low-key makes you look high-end?"
He Qingqing: "We ordinary people don't understand these things."
She smoothed out the wrinkles on the flyer and pointed at each house while introducing its situation.
Those who don’t know the situation might think she has a stake in a store. Chen Yun: “Have you memorized the sales words?”
He Qingqing said as a matter of course: "This is my first child, so of course I have to be cautious."
Yes, when Chen Yun was pregnant with her daughter, she even suspected that sneezing would have an impact on the child.
She said, "It's all the same. In a few months, I'll want to listen to the fetal heartbeat eight hundred times a day."
No wonder marriage and childbirth are a watershed in a person’s social circle. He Qingqing: “Only those of you who have given birth can understand me.”
At first it sounds like nothing, but after careful consideration, Chen Yun said, "Wait a minute, Yan Xin and I were talking about children in the group, were you complaining about us in your heart?"
Among three roommates in college, He Qingqing got married and got pregnant the latest.
She took a sip of water and said, "No, your cub is good-looking. I'd like to see more of it."
Chen Yun raised her hand and gently placed it on her shoulder: "Don't worry, you will give birth to a beautiful child."
He Qingqing: "It's very difficult to look at the genes."
And then suddenly: "Don't mention it, now that your husband has lost so much weight, I know why you married him."
Song Fenglin's weight gradually dropped, and his buried facial features gradually appeared.
Chen Yun was surprised: "You've never seen him thin?"
He Qingqing: "You met on your wedding day, but no one had time to look at the groom. When I came back from my postgraduate study abroad, your husband was already..."
She gestured with her hand to make a ball: "At that time, I thought, what a flower..."
Chen Yun: "When I got married, you whispered to Yan Xin behind my back, didn't you?"
He Qingqing: "Yes, you are beautiful, have a good job, are well educated, and your family has a house in Ningjiang. It would be unfair for you to find Song Fenglin."
Maybe it's like this between good friends. She said, "You also think my husband is not good, right?"
Chen Yun: "Now it's my turn to praise you?"
He Qingqing raised her chin slightly: "You can praise me for that."
The sky is big, the earth is big, and pregnant women are the biggest.
Chen Yun was racking her brains and couldn't find any words when the timer rang.
If it weren’t for this, she would have forgotten that her dough was still rising, and would have washed her hands and said, “You sit for a while, I’ll do some work.”
He Qingqing responded, closed the door of the bakery, and quietly took out her mobile phone to scan the code to pay.
Xiaoxiao was slacking off, but when she heard the announcement of the account arrival, she looked around in confusion.
She was an employee and had no control over her boss's personal relationships. She smiled at the other party and then lowered her head.
He Qingqing also smiled politely and touched her belly subconsciously.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s about to become a mother, but now she feels happy when she looks at girls of this age, mixed with a hint of nostalgia for the past.
When she was in her early twenties, she didn't expect that she would become a mediocre person who could not stand the world. She thought the world was broad, but now she can only sigh when she thinks about it. She opened the deposit page of her bank card and took a look, thinking: There is no way, my mother gave me too much.
