Chapter 76: Escape
It's lunch time, and Song Fenglin comes to take the children to eat.
He thought that since everyone was there, calling his wife “by the way” wouldn’t be considered paying attention to her. He coughed to attract her attention, and then said, “Dinner is ready.”
Chen Yun: "Oh, OK."
When people are in a complicated mood, they will think about many things. She felt that it was too brief after she finished speaking. For some reason, she asked, "Have you eaten?"
Song Fenglin always tried to guess what she meant when speaking, and he really didn't know whether she wanted him to say whether he had eaten or not. He hesitated for a moment and said, "No...right."
Chen Yun was somewhat helpless: "Don't you know whether you have eaten or not?"
I was apparently very happy just now, but talking to myself seemed to spoil my mood.
Song Fenglin was inexplicably dejected, and if he had a tail, it would probably have drooped to the ground.
Fortunately, there are so many people here, anyone can break the atmosphere with a word, not to mention Chen Xingyue and her brother.
Chen Xinyang was still bright and handsome when he went out in the morning, but now he looks gray, and his two dirty paws want to hug his mother's thighs.
Although parenting experts say that children who are pushed away in childhood will push away their parents when they grow up.
But it was really hard for Chen Yun not to subconsciously take a step back. After all, she was in such an occasion with so many relatives, so she made some adjustments to her appearance, not wanting to be ruined by her own son.
Fortunately, Song Fenglin pulled his son up in time: "You are having fun, but I still need to wash your clothes."
Chen Xinyang called "Daddy, Daddy" and acted like a spoiled child. He was taken to the faucet and had water splashed all over his face. He shook his head like a puppy.
Song Fenglin was not spared.
He put his son down and took off his glasses, thinking of wiping them with the hem of his clothes, but suddenly he remembered something, so he held the glasses in his hand and blinked a little uncomfortably.
Chen Ying seemed to have discovered something new: "Brother-in-law, you have quite big eyes."
Then he looked down at his niece and said, "The stars have picked out the best in both of you."
Chen Xingyue never missed a chance to praise others. Even with her hair as messy as a crazy woman, she still held her chin up proudly.
Chen Yun tried to smooth her pain with her hands, but her daughter grimaced in pain.
Chen Xingyue repeatedly: "I want dad to comb my hair!"
Chen Yun wanted nothing more than to say, "Go ahead, go ahead."
She exchanged "team members" with Song Fenglin, holding her son's clean hand, and found her mother in the crowd.
Liu Yingxia served the rice and soup, and even cut the meat for her grandson into small pieces. She raised her hand and waved.
Chen Xinyang was probably also very hungry, so he ran over and sat down consciously, holding the bowl with his face almost buried in it.
Chen Yun picked up some vegetables for him when he was not paying attention and also put two snow peas in her daughter's bowl.
Chen Xingyue just sat down with her new hairstyle. Seeing that her brother had already eaten, she rolled her eyes but did not protest.
But she has a request: "Mom, can I have a pack of My Little Pony cards?"
Chen Yun: "When did you start liking My Little Pony?"
Chen Xingyue: "Sister Tongtong and the others all have it, but I don't."
If people want to fit into a group, they must have commonalities.
Chen Yun would not criticize her for this, but she said first: "Okay, then you can't buy other toys this week."
Chen Xingyue nodded vigorously, and her two braids swung back and forth.
Chen Ying looked at the cute girl and said, "After dinner, Auntie will take you to buy it."
Then I remembered that I had to be fair: "Yangyang can also choose a toy."
As if it was a surprise, Chen Xinyang immediately became very affectionate with his second aunt, as if she were someone else's biological child.
Chen Yun couldn't bear it anymore and turned away, looking at Song Fenglin intentionally or unintentionally.
Song Fenglin is eating.
He couldn't see clearly without his glasses, so he picked up two slices of ginger in a row. Perhaps he was speechless to himself, so he smiled and prepared to attack again.
There was only a daughter between the two of them, which made it easy for Chen Yun to lend a helping hand.
She picked up a large piece of bamboo shoots with her chopsticks and put it accurately into Song Fenglin's bowl.
He was secretly delighted, but was afraid that he was being too sentimental, so he hesitated to speak.
Chen Yun only asked: "Why don't you wear your glasses?"
Song Fenglin couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, he could only say: "It hurts a little bit."
Chen Yun: "Is the degree of myopia increased again?"
It is said that the degree of myopia will not increase much after adulthood, but Song Fenglin sees changes during his annual physical examination. He changes his glasses more frequently than his mobile phone. After all, they are his office equipment.
He said, “Maybe.”
He blinked again while speaking, and Chen Yun thought he was feeling very uncomfortable, so she said, "Go back and put in eye drops later."
Song Fenglin thought that she had lost weight recently, and her facial features had obviously become more open. The pair of eyes that she had praised for their beauty in the past should have more brilliance, but now it seemed that they were of little use.
He couldn't help but feel depressed, and put on his glasses in despair: "It's better now."
Chen Yun was afraid that he was just being stubborn, so he observed him for a while. After finding that he was just a little autistic, he thought that things would get more troublesome.
After ten years of marriage, this was the first time she felt such a difficult situation. It was also the first time she could understand the ostrich mentality. After all, some things were much more complicated to say out loud than to leave them unsaid, like a tangled mess that could not be untied.
When there are many people around, emotions are always interrupted here and there and pass by without room for careful thinking.
But it was late at night and there was no escape or escape.
——
In the evening, Chen Yun watched her daughter memorize words in the living room and then go back to her room to take a bath.
She looked back before going up the stairs. Song Fenglin was still exercising in the yard. She couldn't tell whether she was feeling relieved or pulling herself up and moving her legs forward.
Little did she know that Song Fenglin was also secretly watching her, and when he saw that no one was around, he quickly and warmly invited the child to sleep with her parents.
He knew how to guide them to say "yes", and it was done in just a few words.
When Chen Yun came out of the shower, the brother and sister, who had been playing all day, were already lying in bed drowsy, and the child's father was nowhere to be found.
She was surprised but not surprised. She didn't know who she wanted to get angry with. She applied skin care products furiously, but she spoke to her children in a pinched voice: "Stop talking, baby. Mommy will turn off the lights and close your eyes."
The siblings ran out of energy today and fell asleep quickly, their hands and feet moving freely.
Chen Yun was kicked and took a deep breath. She didn't know if it was because of the child's hot temper, but she just felt very hot.
She turned down the air conditioner a little. The consequence of not sleeping well last night hit her at this moment. Her eyelids gradually became heavy, and she slept soundly more than the child.
Even so, Song Fenglin didn't go upstairs until after twelve o'clock.
He had the foresight to put his pajamas in the next room in advance. After washing up, he sat on the empty bed for a while and even thought about spending the night there.
However, this idea only existed in his mind for one second, and its feasibility became zero.
He had no choice but to tiptoe back to his room, stood beside the bed and sighed, because his position had almost been taken by his two children.
The brother and sister slept in a sprawling state, as if their father was a paper man.
Song Fenglin made some room for himself and lay down on the edge of the bed, with one arm hanging in the air. He thought that he still had the child as a shield and he didn't know what to do when he returned to Ningjiang.
Of course he could see that Chen Yun had a lot more to say, but he didn't have the courage to continue listening, so he could only use this method first.
He also knew that this was not a solution, so he folded his hands on his stomach and stared at the ceiling quietly, thinking.
But his mortal body could not sustain 48 hours of sleeplessness, and the mental fatigue surged like a huge wave, quickly drowning him.
