Chen Yuan was busy eating an apple just now and didn't go to see his mother opening the gift. Now he saw that the scarf given by Jiang Baige was so beautiful.
Such a wide silk scarf, it's not really a silk scarf! It's almost like a shawl.
When his mother asked if it looked good, Shen Yuan nodded: "Yeah, it looks good."
Not much to say, but it's all from the heart.
Mother Shen said happily: “Son, I really like it, thank you.”
Chen Yuan looked at it carefully, then said, "If you like it, wear it! You can also wear it around your neck. It matches your skirt very well."
Mother Shen glanced down and pouted unhappily.
"I wouldn't dare. I can just enjoy it at home, but I wouldn't dare take it outside."
As she spoke, she took the scarf off her shoulders, folded it along the grain, and placed it gently on the coffee table.
I saw a small package next to me, so I picked it up and tore open the newspaper, and found there was a small box inside.
Puzzled, he asked, "Son, what is this for?"
Chen Yuan said: "I heard that this is the lipstick you women use to paint your lips red. Go and try it to see if it looks good."
Mother Shen is only in her fifties, and she is also a fashionable person who likes to dress up.
When I heard it was a lipstick, I quickly opened it to study it.
After taking out the lipstick, she rubbed a little on her hand. It was red and she thought the color looked very nice.
He quickly said, "I'll take it upstairs first. Don't eat the apple yet. We'll have dinner soon."
With a great harvest, she went upstairs with a bag of things in her arms.
I returned to the room, took out all the gifts and placed them on the dressing table. I looked at them carefully, sighed, and then put them in the drawer.
She didn't even take a shower. She found some clothes from the closet, changed into the skirt she was wearing, and went to the study on the third floor.
He raised his hand to open the door, looked at what the person inside was writing, walked over and touched his shoulder.
She whispered, "Husband, our son is back. Can you please give me some face and control your temper today so that our family can have a good meal together?"
Shen's father, Shen Yuefeng, was wearing a neat military uniform. He just sat there without saying a word, looking dignified and solemn, with an aura that said "keep away from strangers."
After hearing what his wife said, he put down what he was doing and put away the pen.
He sighed and asked, "He is willing to come back."
Mother Shen nodded, "You've become thinner when you come back this time. We only have this one son, don't you feel sorry for him at all?"
Father Shen raised his hand and patted the hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry! He is so old, how can I beat him?"
"He doesn't want to join the army. I don't have any hope for him anymore. Let him be!"
Mother Shen didn't expect that her husband suddenly came to his senses and no longer insisted on having his son join the army.
He smiled faintly and said, "Then let's go downstairs! The dishes are ready, I will cook for you myself today."
Father Shen said: "Aunt Zhang can do it, why do you have to cook it yourself."
The couple talked for a while, and when Jiang's mother came down from upstairs, Aunt Zhang had already placed all the dishes on the table.
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Let's eat! It will be cold soon."
Chen Yuan was also hungry today. He threw away the half-eaten apple core and walked towards the dining table.
When he saw four pairs of chopsticks on the table, his expression changed instantly. He was stunned for a moment before pulling out a stool and sitting down.
Seeing her son’s expression, Shen’s mother quickly gave him a shot of prevention.
"Today is my birthday, and your dad finally has time to spend with us. Can you please talk less and eat more?"
Shen Yuan looked up at his mother's expression and took a deep breath.
"Let's eat! I have something to do later!"
He negotiated a big deal today and needed help from two of his buddies.
Seeing that her son was not about to leave, Mother Shen smiled and said, “Wait, your father will be here soon.”
Shen Yuan didn't wait for his father, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a chicken leg and started eating.
When Mr. Shen went downstairs, he glanced at his son from a distance on the stairs, and then strode downstairs.
When we walked into the dining room, he asked, "You're back. Where have you been recently?"
When Shen Yuan heard his father's voice, he dropped the chicken leg bone in his hand.
He said nonchalantly, "I went to the north."
Not much to say, but the truth.
Even if he didn't say it, he could guess that his father would find out in a minute.
Mother Shen quickly pulled her husband’s stool away and asked him to sit down and eat.
Seeing that the father and son both looked unhappy, she quickly tried to laugh it off.
"Let's eat! Today I cooked braised pork, steamed sea bass, and poached chicken. You guys should try them and see how they taste."
"It's just that I haven't done it in a while, so my technique is a little rusty."
Aunt Zhang had already served the rice and placed a bowl in front of everyone.
She said with a smile, "I think the taste is okay, but you cook like you're going to war. The kitchen is your battlefield. It's a complete mess. I, who's in charge of logistics, have to clean up the battlefield."
Mother Shen said embarrassedly: "I think it's okay! It's just that you like to be clean too much."
The two of them chatted back and forth, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became much better.
Father Shen said, "Hurry up and sit down and eat! The food is getting cold."
Chen Yuan stopped talking, eager to finish his meal and leave quickly.
Aunt Zhang has never had children and has never married. She has been an aunt in the Shen family for many years. The Shen family does not treat her as an outsider and they always sit together for meals.
At the Jiang family's side, Jiang's mother and Grandma Meng went for a walk around the city today, and fell asleep in the car on the way back. When they passed by their home, the ticket seller didn't call them.
When they woke up, they were already in the suburbs.
After they got off the bus, they simply walked back. The two of them had just witnessed the loss of their big house today, and when they came back they wanted to save as much as possible.
When they passed by a field, they saw a nest of rabbits. How could they miss the ready-made meat? Even if the rabbits had run underground, they dug them out.
The big rabbit was killed on the spot, and the whole nest of little rabbits were not spared and were all caught.
Because they can eat grass, they thought they could catch them and feed them.
At the dinner table in the evening, there was a pot of stewed rabbit meat, a pot of steamed buns and a pot of vegetable porridge.
Because Jiang Baige brings food home from time to time, they don’t have to worry about food now.
By the time Jiang Baige picked up Jiang Baiyang and brought him back, their meal was already ready.
When Jiang Baiyang came back, he saw a bunch of rabbits jumping around on the ground, and he hurried to catch one to play with.
While catching rabbits, he asked, "Mom, where did all these rabbits come from?"
Jiang's mother said, "Your Grandma Meng and I caught it on the road. Don't worry about it. Wash your hands and eat!"
Jiang Baiyang touched the caught rabbit, quickly put it back on the ground, and went to wash his hands.
Jiang Baige walked in and saw rabbits running around. She asked in confusion, "Mom, you let the little rabbits run around on the ground, aren't you afraid that they will poop all over the floor?"
Jiang's mother swept the floor nonchalantly, talking as she did so.
"Your father is already weaving a cage. He'll lock you up once it's finished."
