Although the eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan changed his tune quickly, he was still caught and slapped by his mother, Mrs. Chen. The eldest brother was so submissive that he did not dare to say another word.
So when the eldest brother saw Zhu Ping'an entering the door with Zhu's father, he just said "Mother, mother... mother..." and kept shouting this word. He was too excited to say any unnecessary words.
.
"No matter how much you call me a mother, you are still a white-eyed wolf. After marrying a daughter-in-law, you forget about your mother. This daughter-in-law has not even married yet, but she thinks that the food cooked by her is not delicious..." Mother Chen heard this
The son kept calling mommy, but he still didn't recover from what the eldest son just said about the restaurant outside having better food.
"Mom, I'm back." Zhu Pingan followed Zhu's father into the house with his luggage on his back. When he saw his mother Chen from a distance, he called out.
"Aren't you always here..." Mother Chen thought it was her eldest son who was speaking. After saying this, she felt something was wrong. She raised her head and looked at the door and saw her youngest son carrying a bag.
Entering the door dusty.
Mother Chen's first reaction was surprise
Then the second reaction is anger
So angry
Three steps and two steps forward
Just a slap
A slap fell on the big shoulder of Zhu's father, Zhu Shouyi, and the voice kept ringing. At the same time, his mother Chen's Hedong lion roar sounded:
"Zhu Shouyi, are you blind? Didn't you see that my son was starving and thin outside? You came all the way back, and you asked him to carry things by himself. My son couldn't even straighten up because of your weight. You're so tall?"
This big and thick thing is just a decoration!"
Although I lost weight due to hunger, I looked a little fatter. I also had to carry my luggage just now, but Xie'er insisted on carrying it myself.
Father Zhu looked at Mrs. Chen aggrievedly, covering his arm that had been slapped by Mrs. Chen, but did not dare to say a word.
"Mom, it's my responsibility, it's none of Dad's business." Zhu Pingan quickly stepped forward to help his father out.
When mother Chen looked at Zhu Pingan, she looked completely different from the way she looked at Zhu's father just now.
When he looked at Zhu's father just now, he was as cold as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
When I look at Zhu Pingan, it is as warm and caring as spring.
"Xie'er, don't speak for him. Put down your bags and let mom take a good look. Why did mom see you have lost weight again? Are you reluctant to eat out? Mom always felt that the money she gave you was less when she left. Why?
There were rumors for a few days that you guys had been robbed, which made my mother worried for a long time. If you hadn't asked someone to come back with a letter, I would have had to go with your father to see you. Hey, why did your mother feel that you have grown taller?
,Ah, why is it so dark..."
"A few days ago, the town was beating gongs and drums to say that you came first in the exam, and they even sent ten taels of silver, which they said was a reward from the county... They also said that you would continue to study outside. I
I'm not happy about it. There's no better home than outside. Mom will give you lots of delicious food every day."
Mother Chen walked quickly to Zhu Pingan, took off the luggage Zhu Pingan was carrying, stuffed it into Zhu's father's arms, and gave Zhu's father a hard look, and then gently pulled Zhu Pingan to him.
Looking around carefully, it seemed as if Zhu Ping'an had just come off the battlefield.
Zhu's father held his luggage in both hands and stood together with his eldest son Zhu Pingchuan. He looked at Zhu Ping'an who was treated tenderly by Mrs. Chen, and his envy was beyond words.
It is estimated that what the two of them were thinking at this time was why they were all the same family and why there was such a big gap.
After her mother, Mrs. Chen, checked her, she rushed to the kitchen and said she wanted to simmer a bowl of chicken soup to replenish Zhu Ping'an, who had "lost weight due to hunger." No one could hold him back.
"I'm back, Brother She." The eldest brother was not good at expressing himself. He rubbed his hands and said, then as if he thought of something, he ran to his room. After a while, he took out a honeycomb from the room and went into the kitchen again.
"Mom, give the honey to brother." The eldest brother's voice came from the kitchen.
Then the mother Chen's teasing voice came out, "Hey, didn't you go to the mountains to tinker with this and send it to your in-laws' family?"
"There are still many in the mountains." The elder brother's embarrassed voice came out immediately.
Zhu's father and Zhu Ping'an looked at each other in the yard. After a while, Zhu's father said, "Go to the room and change into clean clothes. Your mother has made two more sets of clothes for you."
you say
This taught me how to miss home.
The deep love at home can melt the ice of the entire North Pole and Antarctica, and you can instantly indulge in love and being loved.
When Zhu Ping'an came out in clean and fresh clothes, his mother Chen had already simmered the chicken soup. The rich chicken soup was fragrant. There were mushrooms, green vegetables and ginger slices in the chicken soup. It was full of color, flavor and flavor. Mother Chen made the chicken soup.
, cooked two more dishes, and filled the whole table with food.
Zhu Pingan was so full during this meal that even if he stuffed another peanut, he would reach the critical point and vomit it out. He even had to walk with an empty stomach. Even his mother, Mrs. Chen, suspected that Zhu Pingan was not full.
Before going to bed, Zhu Pingan gave the gifts he selected from the town to his mother Chen and his father Zhu. Chen put on her silver earrings with a smile on her face, but she disapproved of Zhu Pingan's wasteful spending;
Holding the wine jar in his hand, he looked carefully up and down, left and right, with a smile on his face.
As for my grandfather’s gift, let’s go to the old house tomorrow.
That night, Zhu Pingan stopped reading. After taking a shower, he put his tired but stretched body on the bed, planning to go to his old house tomorrow and then go to his mentor's house... to lie down.
On the bed at home, not only did my body get a rest, but I also felt that my soul had found a resting place and rested. I got a complete rest from the inside out. I fell asleep quickly while lying on the bed, sleeping deeply.
It's very comfortable, and I have a complete rest at home, amidst the world of mortals.
When he woke up, it was already getting slightly brighter. As usual, Zhu Pingan got up and started practicing calligraphy on the big stone in the yard.
"Xie'er, why are you up so early again? You just came back. Go and get some sleep." As usual, mother Chen was the first to get up. When she saw Zhu Ping'an sitting in front of a stone, dipping in water and practicing calligraphy, she couldn't help but be concerned.
said.
"No need, Mom, I went to bed early last night." Zhu Ping'an said with a naive smile.
Mother Chen didn't insist. She washed herself and went to prepare breakfast.
Then, the family members got up one after another. They were not surprised that Zhu Pingan got up so early to practice calligraphy. They were used to him practicing calligraphy regardless of rain or shine.
Early in the morning, my mother, Mrs. Chen, prepared a table of delicious dishes, including the leftover stewed chicken from last night, three freshly made hot dishes early in the morning, a plate of homemade pickled cucumbers, and a pot of fragrant rice porridge.
.
When he was outside, he really missed the pickles made by his mother at home. With the pickled cucumbers, Zhu Pingan drank three bowls of rice porridge in a row before finishing it, which made his mother Chen very satisfied.
