Although the elder brother Zhu Pingchuan changed his mouth quickly, but was still caught by the mother Chen sprayed a meal, sprayed the elder brother coyly did not dare to say a word more.
So when the elder brother saw Zhu Pingan along with Zhu father enter the door, also only “mother, mother”, has been shouting this word, excess words, excited can not speak.
“Shouting more Niang, you are still a white-eyed wolf, marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting your mother, this daughter-in-law has not yet married into the door, and you think that Niang’s cooking is not tasty,” said his mother, Chen, who heard her eldest son shouting Niang all the time, and still had not recovered from her son’s earlier remark that the outside restaurants cooked better.
“Mother, I’m back.” Zhu Pingan walked into the house with Zhu father carrying his travelling bag and shouted out when he saw his mother Chen from afar.
“You’re not always there,” mother Chen thought it was her eldest son who spoke, only after finishing this sentence did she feel that it was not right, all of a sudden she raised her head to look at the front door, and then she saw her youngest son enter the door carrying his travelling bag in a dusty manner.
Mother Chen’s first reaction was surprise
Then the second reaction was anger
But she was angry.
Three steps forward, two steps back.
And he slapped him.
A slap landed on that big shoulder of Zhu Shouyi, Zhu’s father, and the sound was old and loud, while the roar of mother Chen’s Hedong lion rang out:
“Zhu Shouyi, you blind ah, did not see my son outside are hungry and thin it, all the way back, you still let him carry things alone, all the pressure of my son can not straighten the waist, you grow so big and thick is a pose ah!”
Where is the starvation thin, I look also fat point it, and just now I also have to take the bag, is the swine child insisted to carry their own back.
Zhu father looked at Chen’s aggrieved, covered by Chen’s beating arm, did not dare to squeak.
“Mother, I was the one who wanted to carry it, it’s none of father’s business.” Zhu Pingan rushed forward to help his father out.
The way her mother Chen looked at Zhu Pingan, and the way she had just looked at Zhu’s father, were simply two different people.
When she looked at Zhu father just now, it was cold like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
When she looked at Zhu Pingan, it was as warm and caring as spring.
“swine child don’t help him to speak, quickly put down the bag to let my mother take a good look, how my mother looked at you and thin, is not outside do not want to eat ah, my mother always feel that when you leave to give you less money, and there are a few days rumours that you have been robbed, so that my mother was worried about for a long time, if you don’t have to let someone send a letter to come back, have to go with your father to see you can’t, hehe, my mother how to think that your size is taller! It, ah, why so much darker.”
“The other day the town beat the drums to say that you took the first place, but also sent ten taels of silver it, said the county honourable reward they also said you will be outside to continue to study it, I would not be happy, outside which is as good as at home, mother to give you every day more good food.”
Mother Chen quickly walked to Zhu Pingan, took down the travelling bag that Zhu Pingan was carrying, forcefully shoved it into the arms of Zhu’s father who was on the side, and also dug a hard look at Zhu’s father, and then tenderly pulled Zhu Pingan to his side to carefully inspect it as if Zhu Pingan had just come down from the battlefield.
Zhu’s father, holding the bag in both hands, stood together with his eldest son Zhu Pingchuan, looking at Zhu Pingan who was being treated gently by Chen, his envy was overflowing.
It was estimated that what the two were thinking in their minds at this time was, why are they all family members, why is the gap so wide.
After the mother Chen’s examination, then huffed and ran to the kitchen, said to simmer a bowl of chicken soup to the “hungry and thin” Zhu Pingan supplement body, no one can pull.
“Back, swine brother.” Big brother is not good at expressing himself, rubbing his hands together and saying one sentence, then remembering something, he ran to his room, and after a while brought out a beehive from inside the room, and then went back into the kitchen.
“Mother, honey for swine brother.” Big brother’s voice came out from the kitchen.
Then his mother Chen’s teasing voice came out, “What, isn’t this what you went to the mountains to pound to send to your Yue family.”
“There’s plenty more in the mountains.” Big brother’s embarrassed voice came out immediately after.
In the courtyard Zhu father and Zhu Pingan looked at each other wide-eyed, a little while later Zhu father opened his mouth, “Quickly go to your room to change into clean clothes, your mother has made two more sets of clothes for you.”
You say.
This teaches me how not to miss home.
The strong love and care at home can melt the cold ice of the entire North and South Poles, and instantly indulge in love and being loved.
When Zhu Pingan changed into clean and fresh clothes and came out, his mother Chen had already simmered the chicken soup, and the rich chicken soup was fragrant, and there were mushrooms, greens and ginger inside the chicken soup, which was full of colour and flavour. Mother Chen’s good chicken soup, and made two dishes, a whole table full of food.
This meal Zhu Pingan ate a full ten full, even if it is stuffed with another peanut rice can reach the critical point spit out. Even walking with a shy stomach, this mother Chen also suspected that Zhu Pingan did not eat enough.
Before going to bed, Zhu Pingan will be selected from the town of gifts to the mother Chen and Zhu father, Chen’s face smiling beautifully will be silver earrings to wear up, but in the mouth smacked Zhu Pingan indiscriminate spending; Zhu father will be the wine altar in the hands of the up and down, carefully look around, face is also with a smile.
As for the grandfather’s gift, go back to the old mansion tomorrow.
This night, Zhu Pingan did not read any more books, after taking a bath, he rested his tired but propped up body on the bed, calculating that tomorrow he would first go to the old mansion, and then go to his master’s house to lie on the bed at home, not only did his body get a rest, but he also felt that his soul had found a resting place to get a rest, and he got a complete rest from the inside to the outside. Lying on the bed soon fell asleep, sleep very heavy and comfortable, rolling in the dust of three thousand zhang, at home to get a complete rest.
Waking up with a start the sky was already slightly light, Zhu Pingan, as usual, got up and started to practise his calligraphy on the big stone in the courtyard.
“Swine child, why are you up so early again, you’ve only just returned, go and sleep some more.” Mother Chen, as usual, was the first to get up, seeing Zhu Pingan sitting in front of the stone dipping into the water and practising his calligraphy, she couldn’t help but say with concern.
“No need mother, I slept early last night.” Zhu Pingan laughed nervously.
Mother Chen didn’t insist and went to prepare breakfast after washing up.
Then, the family members woke up one after another, not surprised by Zhu Pingan’s behaviour of getting up so early to practise calligraphy, and had already gotten used to his practising calligraphy rain or shine.
Early in the morning, mother Chen prepared a table of good food, last night’s leftover chicken stew, three hot dishes made early in the morning, a dish of home-pickled cucumbers, and a pot of fragrant rice porridge.
Outside the home is quite nostalgic for the mother’s pickles, pickled cucumbers, Zhu Pingan drank three bowls of congee in a row before finishing, which makes the mother Chen’s great satisfaction.
After breakfast, a new day began!
