After Chen Hansheng and Wang Zibo left Liangshan Prefecture, they finally arrived at Chengdu.
When they passed by a specialty supermarket near the railway station, Chen Hansheng went in and picked up a string of beautiful bracelets, which was obviously worn by a little girl.
"For Little Yu 'er?" Wang Zibo asked.
Chen Hansheng nodded and chose two horn combs. When he paid the bill, he said to Wang Zibo, "One for my mom, and the other for your mom. Women, no matter how old they are, like little surprises."
Wang Zibo looked at the unremarkable comb that looked like jade and said, "I think it's very limited. The effect of the comb in the TV commercials is exaggerated."
Chen Hansheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you think it's for health care? It's mainly to please our mothers. Believe it or not, if you send the comb to them, they will forget about you following me to Chuanyu Lang, and you will be spared from a beating."
Wang Zibo was embarrassed and said, "My mom stopped beating me a long time ago. Don't talk nonsense."
They took a hard sleeper back. After they got on the train, they slept and occasionally got up to look at the scenery in a daze. In short, more than 20 hours passed quickly.
They finally arrived at the familiar Harbor City after 7 pm. Chen Hansheng and Wang Zibo divided the chili peppers at the railway station and went back separately.
But standing at the door of the house, Chen Hansheng suddenly hesitated.
Originally, the school was closed on the 14th, and he left school on the 17th. Then he sent Shen Youchu home. The whole process was delayed for about 10 days.
Along the way, Chen Hansheng and Xiao Rongyu sent messages for a long time. Occasionally, he would report the location to his mother. He didn't know whether Liang Meijuan was angry or not.
Chen Hansheng quietly unlocked the door and found Chen Zhaojun watching the news on the sofa. Liang Meijuan was cooking in the kitchen. She heard the noise and looked out without saying anything.
"Dad, did you quarrel with my mom today?"
Chen Hansheng asked quietly.
Elder Chen made a gesture of wanting to hit him. "Can't you hope for something better? There's no quarrel!"
Chen Hansheng felt a little relieved. He walked to the kitchen and said with a smile, "Mom, I'm back."
Liang Meijuan ignores him and concentrates on picking out the prawn lines. "You still know how to go home. You might as well live in someone else's house."
"How could I?"
Chen Hansheng quickly took out the horn comb and helped Liang Meijuan comb her hair. "I bought it especially for you. It took me a long time to get it. Is your son filial?"
Liang Meijuan snorted coldly. "Other people's filial children are studying hard in college. Think about what you've done."
"Why didn't I study hard?"
Chen Hansheng began to talk nonsense again. "In this final exam, I don't think you can get full marks in all subjects. 90 marks is not a big problem. I think you can be a colonel and a good student. I'll send the certificate of honor home and you can take it to your grandparents' house to show off."
This sentence was both true and false. It was true that he was a good student, but it was not because of the exam results. However, people who didn't know the inside story would definitely be fooled.
Liang Meijuan glanced at her son and suddenly smiled. "Go sit on the sofa. I have something to tell you."
Chen Hansheng thought it was over. He pinched a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He sat on the sofa with a smile.
Elder Chen was smoking. When he saw Chen Hansheng's appearance, he asked, "What did you talk about?"
Chen Hansheng repeated what he said. Of course, he was mainly bragging about his exam results. Old Chen remained silent after listening to him.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Hansheng felt something was wrong.
"Nothing."
Elder Chen extinguished the cigarette and said, "When your mother hits you later, bear with it. Don't disturb the neighbors upstairs and downstairs."
Chen Hansheng suddenly raised his head and saw Liang Meijuan walking towards him with a rolling pin.
"Mom, don't play with knives and guns on New Year's Eve."
Chen Hansheng quickly ran behind the sofa.
Liang Meijuan didn't listen. She chased after him and continued to hit him.
Chen Hansheng walked around and said, "What's the reason this time? Didn't you agree that I was going to send Shen Youchu to school?"
Liang Meijuan stopped in her tracks and tossed an envelope over. "The school's three model students, take a look."
Chen Hansheng saw that it was an envelope from the Finance Department. He knew that something must have gone wrong. After opening the envelope, he couldn't help but laugh.
Chen Hansheng's final exam results: Western Economics 46 points, Management Principles 37 points, Organizational Behavior 60 points, Applied Statistics 51 points, Maoism 60 points, Advanced Mathematics 12 points.
After Chen Hansheng finished laughing, he scolded the school. What kind of dog is this, sending me a report card on New Year's Eve? Are they intentionally affecting the harmony of my family?
However, he still wanted to salvage the situation. He said to Liang Meijuan in a deadpan manner, "Logically speaking, my performance was not bad. Maybe, it was sent to me with the same name."
Upon hearing that he still didn't repent, Liang Meijuan immediately wanted to hit him. Chen Hansheng had no choice but to lower his head, "Even if you want to hit me, you have to finish eating first. I didn't even have a good meal on the train."
This reason was still very effective. Liang Meijuan loved her son dearly. She put down the rolling pin and said hatefully, "Eat first, you can hit me after you finish eating."
… …
Chen Hansheng's stomach was really hungry. His chopsticks never stopped moving. How could the food on the train be better than the food at home.
Seeing this situation, Liang Meijuan pushed the fish and prawns towards Chen Hansheng with a cold face and asked, "How is Xiao Shen's side?"
"Poor and cold."
Chen Hansheng didn't lie in front of his own parents, "At home, I have a 60 + years old mother-in-law and 6 years old sister. Let's put it this way, even egg pancakes are a luxury."
Liang Meijuan and Chen Zhaojun took a look at each other. Liang Meijuan didn't say anything, but Old Chen shook his head lightly.
Chen Hansheng thought to himself, what is wrong with Old Chen? His thinking isn't too proper. Do I still need to be matched in terms of social status? Then, he recalled that Liang Meijuan wanted to hit him just now, and Chen Zhaojun didn't even stop her.
Thus, Chen Hansheng coughed and said to Liang Meijuan, "Mom, comparing the conditions of our family and hers, it is about the same as my dad and you back then."
Sure enough, this move of diverting anger immediately worked.
Liang Meijuan put down her chopsticks with a "pa" sound, "Chen Zhaojun, back then, your family wasn't that rich either. The house that you built after getting married was built by Chen Hansheng's two uncles. Why didn't you tell this to your son …"
Hearing this, Old Chen became anxious. I was just eating quietly, how did I get dragged into this?
However, after being married for more than 20 years, who didn't have a quarrel material? The more Liang Meijuan talked, the more excited she became. She directly forgot that Chen Hansheng got 12 marks in advanced mathematics.
After finishing his meal, Chen Hansheng ran back to the bedroom and sent a message to Xiao Rongyu.
Chen Hansheng: I have finished my meal at home.
Xiao Rongyu: So fast, didn't I just say that I just arrived at the train station? I am going to my relative's house for dinner today.
Chen Hansheng: Don't worry, take your time. I will rest tonight and buy you a bracelet. I will give it to you tomorrow when I am free. Is Uncle Xiao at home?
Xiao Rongyu: Are you going to look for him? These few days, my family is full of relatives.
Chen Hansheng: Don't misunderstand, I just want to get a driver's license and learn how to drive. It might be faster to ask him for help.
However, after typing this sentence, he didn't send it. After thinking for a while, he deleted it and changed it to another sentence.
Chen Hansheng: What is there to be afraid of? It is just meeting his parents.
Xiao Rongyu: Humph, you sound like you have met other girls' parents before.
Chen Hansheng: Hehe, you are really good at joking.
