At around noon, Chen Hansheng drove to Wang Zibo's house. Wang Zibo received a call and ran out in surprise. There was no surprise on his face, but a hint of resistance.
When Xiao Rongyu and Bian Shishi lowered their heads to take fruits, Wang Zibo pulled Chen Hansheng aside. "Are you crazy? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"What?"
Chen Hansheng was also puzzled. "Why should I tell you in advance that I'm coming to your house?"
Wang Zibo choked. Only his best friend would take such shameless words for granted.
"We don't have an air conditioner at home. We agreed to install it in the afternoon!"
Wang Zibo stomped his feet and said.
Chen Hansheng was stunned. "I know, but I don't mind."
"I …"
Wang Zibo glanced at Bian Shishi. "Bian Shishi will feel hot."
"That has nothing to do with me."
Chen Hansheng said lightly. "Who told you not to install an air conditioner when you were rich? You spent all your money on clothes and bags for Sister Hui. You deserve it!"
While the two were talking, Wang Zibo's mother, Lu Yuzhen, also came out.
Just like how Liang Meijuan liked Wang Zibo very much, Lu Yuzhen also liked Chen Hansheng, the mischievous boy since he was young.
It couldn't be helped. "Other people's children" were fragrant.
"Hansheng, you're here."
Lu Yuzhen greeted him warmly. "Have you eaten?"
"Of course not."
Chen Hansheng didn't treat himself as an outsider. "We came here at this time to eat."
"No problem."
Lu Yuzhen smiled and said, "Wait for me to cook two more dishes for you."
"Hello, Aunt Lu."
Xiao Rongyu jumped over to greet them.
"Little Yu 'er is still so beautiful."
Lu Yuzhen looked at the girl who had almost no flaws. She was good at her studies and came from a good family. Wang Zibo had also said that Xiao Rongyu had opened a famous law firm before she graduated.
Luckily, she had watched Chen Hansheng grow up, otherwise Lu Yuzhen would definitely think that they were not a good match.
"Aunt Lu, guess who she is?"
Xiao Rongyu pulled Bian Shishi over.
"Her?"
Lu Yuzhen looked at the slender and elegant Bian Shishi, looked at Chen Hansheng, and then at Wang Zibo. She asked uncertainly, "Is this Shishi?"
No matter how fierce Bian Shishi was usually, she was still shy at this time. She shyly handed over the fruit and said, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Bian Shishi."
"Well, well, well, well …"
Lu Yuzhen knew that her son had a girlfriend called Bian Shishi, but she didn't expect her to be so beautiful. She was at a loss for a moment.
"It's too hot outside. Let's go in and enjoy the fan."
It was Chen Hansheng who spoke first, and then everyone walked into the house.
Lu Yuzhen beamed with joy. She couldn't hide her joy anymore.
Wang Zibo followed at the back. His steps were hesitant, and his face was full of hesitation.
… ….
Wang Zibo's house was a two-story self-built house, and the paint on the exterior walls was already peeling.
Around 2005, in a small city like Harbor City, the living conditions were generally better. Only those who were slightly worse off lived in self-built houses left by the elderly.
The central room of Lu Yuzhen's house was relatively bright, so it wouldn't be damp and dark. However, it was a little stuffy in the summer.
Wang Zibo's father was also at home. He was more honest than Wang Zibo. After a few simple greetings, he fell silent. While smoking the Zhonghua cigarette that Chen Hansheng gave him, he looked at Bian Shishi.
Old Wang was different from Old Chen. Chen Zhaojun adhered to the principle of "speaking less, making fewer mistakes", but when he needed to speak, Chen Zhaojun had the ability to support the situation. Wang Zibo's father really didn't know how to talk.
Fortunately, Lu Yuzhen had the spirit of a middle-aged woman to gossip. She could chat with Bian Shishi.
Wang Zibo was a little sad. After Bian Shishi got out of the air-conditioned car, Bian Shishi's forehead was obviously sweating even though the ceiling fan was still spinning.
In fact, people had a high tolerance for temperature. Although Chen Hansheng and Xiao Rongyu were "rich kids" who had air-conditioning everywhere they went, they were indeed a little uncomfortable when they got out of the car. However, they got used to it after sitting for a while.
Especially from time to time, there was a cool breeze blowing, which was more comfortable than the air-conditioned air.
Needless to say, Bian Shishi didn't have air-conditioning in her house either. All she had was this kind of big ceiling fan.
Wang Zibo had this kind of thought because of his inferiority complex. He felt that with his condition, it was already "god's mercy" to be able to find a girlfriend like Bian Shishi. When he saw Bian Shishi sweating, he subconsciously blamed it on himself.
"Zibo."
Lu Yuzhen realized after talking for a long time that she didn't pour tea. She quickly reminded him, "Why are you acting like an idiot? Hurry up and pour some water."
"Oh."
Wang Zibo stood up gloomily. When he was about to take the teacup, Wang Zibo's father suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Chen Hansheng misunderstood and said politely, "Uncle Wang, you don't have to take the tea leaves. I'm not an outsider."
Wang Zibo's father didn't say anything. He went into the house and took out three sets of unopened teacups, bowls, and chopsticks.
"It's new."
Wang Zibo's father's words were still short.
"Tsk, tsk."
Chen Hansheng sighed at Xiao Rongyu. "This is' Treatment '. I don't know how many times I've been here, but I've never seen this standard."
"How can you compare to Shishi?"
Xiao Rongyu secretly poked Bian Shishi, "Right?"
Bian Shishi was a little embarrassed. She took a look at Wang Zibo and began to have a feeling of "identification" with her boyfriend's parents.
Wang Zibo used the new tea set to pour the water, and then reminded Lu Yuzhen, "Mom, you can start cooking first. I'll go help you."
"Look at my memory, I've forgotten all about it."
Lu Yuzhen reluctantly let go of Bian Shishi, "Daughter, you can sit for a while. Auntie will go and cook some prawns and beef for you. I'll also kill a chicken for you tonight."
Bian Shishi hurriedly declined, "No need, no need …"
"I want it, I want it."
Lu Yuzhen ran to the kitchen with a smile, and Wang Zibo also followed.
After the two left, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became quiet. Chen Hansheng and Xiao Rongyu were both watching TV, and Wang Zibo's father was still very quiet. Bian Shishi thought for a while, then quietly came over and said, "Little Yu'er, I'll go to the kitchen to help."
"Sure."
Chen Hansheng immediately applauded, "Xiao Rongyu, look, this is' EQ '. You've been to our house many times, but when have you ever been to the kitchen?"
"I've been to the kitchen before, but Auntie Liang kicked me out again!"
Xiao Rongyu pouted, "Then you've been to our house, but you've never been to the kitchen."
"I'm different."
Chen Hansheng said with a smile, "I've been drinking with your dad, can you drink with my dad?"
"Humph, go away!"
Xiao Rongyu turned around unhappily. She felt that she was at a disadvantage because she couldn't win against Chen Hansheng, so she pretended to fiercely pinch Chen Hansheng's thigh to vent her anger.
Bian Shishi left the flirting couple, and planned to leave a good impression in the kitchen. However, when she was at the door, she suddenly heard the angry conversation between Wang Zibo and Lu Yuzhen.
"… I sent you a message on my way back home yesterday, and asked you to contact the person who installed the air conditioner to come over this morning. Why didn't you do it?"
Wang Zibo was blaming her.
Lu Yuzhen was choked by the smoke and kept coughing. She said impatiently, "I forgot. Besides, it's not a big deal to be late for half a day."
"Of course!"
Wang Zibo sounded annoyed, "If the air conditioner was installed this morning, Bian Shishi would have been able to enjoy the air conditioner when she came over!"
Lu Yuzhen didn't think it was a big deal, "The girl doesn't even care. Why are you so vain?"
"I'm not vain!"
Wang Zibo was even angrier when he realized that he had been misunderstood. "You've always been like this when we were kids. You never cared about the things I told you before. It's because you didn't go to school. Uncle Chen and Aunt Liang didn't teach Xiao Chen like this at all!"
Lu Yuzhen's temper was even worse than Liang Meijuan's. The temperature in the kitchen was very high, and the waves of heat were rolling one layer after another. If it was in the past, Lu Yuzhen would have already scolded him.
But today, because Bian Shishi came to visit, Lu Yuzhen forced herself to endure it. She only replied coldly, "Your father and I are like this. If you look down on us, you can choose not to acknowledge us as your parents."
Wang Zibo regretted it after he said that. He actually cared about and loved his parents very much, and was even willing to sacrifice his life for them. However, the feeling of "dislike" was still there.
They didn't have education, and they didn't know how to be considerate of their children. They only knew how to yell and scream.
Wang Zibo had always been envious of Xiao Rongyu and Chen Hansheng's family background, but it was the way parents and children communicated with each other.
"Let me do it."
Wang Zibo wanted to apologize, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He snatched the spatula from Lu Yuzhen's hand and prepared to cook for his mother.
Lu Yuzhen's character was also tough. She still swung her arm and ignored him. When the two were fighting for the spatula, a "clang" sound was heard, and the spatula flew out.
Wang Zibo ran out and was about to pick it up when he saw Bian Shishi standing in front of him.
Her gaze was very complicated, and of course, the most obvious one was disappointment.
"You, you …"
Wang Zibo suddenly panicked. There were many faces in life, and the one that he showed just now was definitely the ugliest one.
"My dear daughter, why are you here?"
Lu Yuzhen, who was about to break off the "mother-son relationship" with Wang Zibo, put away her grievances and walked out happily, "Zibo is such a filial child. He felt that the kitchen was too hot, so he didn't want me to stay here. He wanted to snatch the spatula just now."
Wang Zi was embarrassed when he heard that. His head was dripping with oil from the sun, and his heart felt like it was being roasted.
Lu Yuzhen was afraid that it would affect the relationship between her son and his girlfriend, so she stood out to defend Wang Zibo.
These ordinary parents seemed like they couldn't give their children anything, but in fact, they had already given their children everything.
"Auntie."
Bian Shishi bent down to pick up the spatula, "We, the girls in Xiangnan, all know how to cook. Let me show my cooking skills."
… …
(It seems that there won't be any "confession" between a man and a woman tonight, but only between a mother and a son. This emotion needs to be laid down, and Old Liu doesn't want to deal with it carelessly. The last emotional outburst will be left for tomorrow. I've written 8000 words today, and I'm so tired.)
