Chapter 58 Fifty-Eight Like a Fish in Water
Zhou Peilin said she was sleepy, but for some reason her mind was becoming clearer and clearer.
Her decision to leave Ningjiang was a sudden impulse, and she felt a little overwhelmed. In the elevator, she started to explain in which store she had a recharge balance that was about to expire.
The amount was so huge that Chen Yun couldn't help but complain: "Fortunately, we didn't divide this when we divorced, otherwise the agreement would have to be three more pages long."
He added, "I can't remember it even if you recite it like this."
Zhou Peilin: "I'll list them for you later."
The chaos she had after her divorce seemed to have finally been sorted out, and she suddenly asked, "You're coming home next week, right?"
This "home" refers to Chen Yun's ancestral home thousands of miles away.
She nodded: "Ticket for next Wednesday."
Zhou Peilin: "Then I will try to leave earlier than you, and you can still see me off."
The word "walk" sounds a bit unlucky when used here.
Chen Yun: "We'll be back soon after we drop the child off. You don't have to be so anxious."
Zhou Peilin: "I see that you look even more anxious now, and you can't wait to fly back."
Halfway through summer vacation, Chen Yun's patience with her two children has reached its limit. She can't help but sigh when she thinks about it: "They can call me mom a thousand times a day. It's really overwhelming for me."
Zhou Peilin, who often stays up late, felt a sense of empathy when she thought of Chen Xinyang's bravery when he just jumped onto her bed: "I can't stand just getting up early."
In fact, she had been preparing for pregnancy for nearly two years before her divorce. She was once very anxious about not getting pregnant. After all, women who get married after the age of 30 will spontaneously enter the state of expectant mothers. People who don't know would think that she got the fertility quota from somewhere, but she was not prepared to raise a child at all. Now she is a little glad when she thinks about it.
I had thought it through when I was thinking about Chen Yunsheng, but unfortunately reality always exceeds expectations.
She sighed helplessly: "Today is still relatively late. Two days ago, Song Fenglin said he would take them to KFC for breakfast. He ran into the room at five o'clock and said it was already dawn."
Five o'clock? Zhou Peilin shook her head and said, "Only your parents can handle this kind of schedule."
Chen Yun: "Who said it wasn't? I just hope that when I open my eyes it will be next Wednesday."
Zhou Peilin was so impatient: "You have never liked your hometown so much in your life, right?"
For Chen Yun, the meaning of the word "hometown" can be divided into three periods.
When she was young, she lived in the city with her parents, and occasionally returned to the countryside to catch fish and shrimp with her friends, and go up the mountains and down the rivers. When she went back as a teenager, she saw only the exclusion and exploitation of her as an only child in the village. After the child is born, those hands that were once secretly extended are retracted, and everything becomes friendly again.
The emotions are so complicated that it is difficult to describe, but it does not prevent her from always thinking of the village thousands of miles away first when she mentions "hometown". Even though she has lived in Ningjiang for almost half of her life, she still feels a gap between herself and this city.
If she is like this, what about the parents?
Thinking of this, Chen Yun said: "I used to think that I would go back less and less often, but now it seems that I will go back more often in the future."
Zhou Peilin: "After all, if you build a house and live in it for a while longer, you won't lose money."
Speaking of this house, Chen Yun has a lot to complain about: "I just spent money to make my parents happy, otherwise it would be a loss."
He rolled his eyes again: "Song Fenglin also said that it's okay and we can go live there after we retire. He actually lives very well in our village."
Zhou Peilin pretended to clear her ears: "Who is like a fish in water? Did I hear it wrongly?"
Chen Yun: "As soon as I got home, my cousins took turns to ask him to go out and play, and they took good care of him."
Zhou Peilin: “Why?”
Chen Yun: "According to my research, it's because of sympathy."
It was so ridiculous that Zhou Peilin couldn't find anything worthy of sympathy in Song Fenglin even when she was picking at the cracks of an egg with a magnifying glass.
She laughed: "Has your village entered a well-off society ahead of schedule?"
Chen Yun smiled a sarcastic smile: "Because he actually became the 'son-in-law' of the Chen family. He came to such a far place with me and even gave up something as precious as his surname. As a man, I feel so sorry for him."
Her emotions were not directed at Song Fenglin himself, but they always inevitably irritated him, so much so that she couldn't remain calm when she mentioned it.
Zhou Peilin laughed speechlessly: "Married women are all 'live-in wives'. My ex-husband's family only let me burn incense and worship the ancestors and wash my husband's underwear."
Now that I think about it, she really endured a lot in her marriage.
Chen Yun couldn't even laugh as the two of them had already walked to the entrance of the coffee shop while talking.
She pulled out her keys: "Would you like an Americano?"
Can I take a nap after drinking? Zhou Peilin raised a finger and shook it to refuse: "No, I'm leaving."
She walked like a wealthy woman, raised her hand to stop a taxi, and the next second she merged into the hustle and bustle of the morning rush hour.
Chen Yun couldn't even blink to tell which car it was. She stared at the traffic for a while, her mind completely empty. After a while, she looked away and opened the store door to prepare for business.
Halfway through the work, barista Xiaoxiao came to work wearing a green double-tail wig.
Chen Yun has become accustomed to her transformation and appearance. Occasionally, she feels like she is watching "Martin's Morning" as a child. She asks, "Who are you going to cosplay after get off work today?"
Xiaoxiao: "Hatsune Miku."
Thanks to her, Chen Yun knew a little about all the 2D and 3D celebrities, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Song Fenglin, who brought his son who had no classes to play in the store, couldn't help but take a few more glances at this look. After a while, he went into the baking room to look for someone: "Chen Yun."
Chen Yun was beating cream with her back to the door. The roar of the machine was too loud and her eyes were focused on the TV series playing on the tablet, so she didn't hear any footsteps at all.
The sudden voice startled her, and she turned around angrily: "You didn't even tell me you came in!"
Just saying that scared her like this.
Song Fenglin knew he was in the wrong and had no room for explanation, so he scratched his face awkwardly.
Chen Yun's reaction was subconscious, and she didn't mean to be really angry with him. She raised her chin and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"
Song Fenglin: "I was just thinking, what would it be like if Xingxing also liked to wear red, orange, yellow and green when she grows up."
Chen Yun rolled her eyes, imagining what it would be like, and grinned, "It's better not to."
Song Fenglin: "Don't you support your child doing this?"
It was a bit unexpected for him.
Chen Yun was of course emotionally supportive, but her financial situation did not allow it: "Go ask Xiaoxiao, her hair cost at least 800 yuan, you can't do cosplay without some financial strength."
With their family background, it is enough for their daughter to have the freedom to put stickers on her.
When it comes to money, Song Fenglin feels pressured.
He is still very patriarchal when it comes to making money. He believes that a man should be the financial pillar of the family and it is his responsibility to ensure that the family has enough food and clothing.
Thinking that his daughter might not be able to pursue her hobbies in the future due to lack of money, this loving fatherly heart could not sit still, and he wanted to pick up bottles on the street, just to help out a little.
Chen Yun knew what he was thinking from his expression and said, "Why don't you take your son for a run when you have time? Walk until he is exhausted and then bring him back. Try to make sure he can sleep until he wakes up naturally tomorrow."
Song Fenglin had to carry out his wife's order immediately, and took his son away without saying a word, but he did not forget to think about how to earn some extra money along the way.
