good old days

After Chen Jinhua returned from a business trip, he first went to Shitou Hutong. After leaving Shitou Hutong, he returned to his former home.

The light shines through the window, and after entering the door, Feng Man is seen sitting on the sofa and taking a nap.

Feng Man was woken up and was extremely happy to see him, "You are back. There is still food at home. You should eat some first."

Chen Jinhua sat aside, coughed a few times and waved his hand: "Stop working, where is Jiajia?"

Feng Man saw that he didn't look well and was coughing before the weather started to get cold. She asked with concern: "Do you have a cold? Have you taken medicine? If you are particularly uncomfortable, you can get better quickly by hanging up water."

Chen Jinhua drank a glass of water, "I'm fine, where is Jiajia?"

After he lived in the camp, he came back once a week to see his daughter, but he could not see her twice in a month.

School was in session before, so it would have been excused for her not to come back for the holidays. Now that it's summer vacation, it's already dark and she hasn't come back yet.

Feng Man shook his head, "She goes out to play every day. I have told her countless times to come back early every day, but she doesn't listen to me."

"When she comes back later, you can talk to her properly." She paid attention to his expression and said with hope in her heart: "Otherwise, if you come back to live, if you are at home every day, she won't come back until midnight every day. .”

Chen Jinhua didn't speak, and she continued: "Jiajia used to be very obedient, but since our divorce, she doesn't listen to me very much. I can't control her. She is afraid of you. Jinhua, for the sake of the child, you should come back and live here. "

Chen Jinhua looked at her solemnly and said bluntly: "I don't like you playing tricks on me with Jiajia."

Feng Man froze.

He continued: "Jiajia is not your child? If you are really doing it for her own good, you should control and educate her. She is much closer to you as a mother than to me."

"I don't expect you to educate her like Chen Yi. At least she must go home before dark. She is a young girl. If she doesn't come back after dark, what if something happens?"

She was involved in a group fight at the skating rink in the winter. He went to the film school to see her once, but was sued by the department head for her frequent truancy. What's more, a jeep ran rampant on campus two months ago and hit someone. , she was also sitting in the car. Fortunately, nothing serious happened to the other party, and the people in the car were not injured.

After the divorce, his daughter became less and less presentable.

In the past, he was obedient and quiet, but now he is away from home every day and hangs out with those young people. How can he still learn?

Hearing him mention Chen Yi, Feng Man's eyes became paranoid and fierce, "Yes, it's my responsibility. She didn't come home after dark because I didn't teach her well. You, a father, don't have any responsibility? We should still be good In our family, she will be outside every day making mischief? Will she be rebellious and not want to go home? Chen Jinhua, you blame me for killing your mother, why don’t you think that your mother was spoiled by you, she thought she was Lafayette, everyone You have to obey her! Why? She gave birth to you, but she didn't give birth to me. Isn't it because of you that I have endured her for so many years? She asked for it when she fell ill. She was so angry at my words that she couldn't even come up. Her lifespan has been ended by herself!"

"Don't stare at me like this. You think I can't teach children well. You think what I just said is not pleasant to listen to. But who do you think said what I just said? It was Wang Sumei who raised a good son. She said that your mother is She was spoiled by you. After such a long time, I have figured it out. Isn’t she just spoiled by you? It’s not because you follow her in everything. She is so petty and can’t bear it when something doesn’t go her way! She just deserves it. "

Her hands were hanging by her sides and trembling all the time, and she screamed silently and forcefully in her heart: Shut up! Shut up! If anything, he'll never come home.

But there was also another voice shouting: Why didn't you say it? I've been holding these words in for a long time! He won't come back anyway, so why not let yourself have a good time?

"You reap what you sow. It was because of her that I married you, and it was because of her that I divorced you. But I don't feel sad at all when she dies.

Over the years, I have had enough of her. She is patriarchal, bossy, and domineering. If she doesn’t listen to her, she is not a good daughter-in-law. If she doesn’t give birth to a son, she is a hen that can’t lay eggs. She talks about divorce every day. My Jiajia is not as good as Chunlin in her eyes. You will listen to whatever she asks you to do. You are a filial son, and I must also be a filial daughter-in-law..."

Those conflicts were just minor conflicts that could be tolerated, but the attitudes in the conflicts accumulated over the years, and she had already had enough.

Feng Man was struggling in her heart, her facial muscles were trembling, and she spoke in a loud voice. Chen Jiajia, who had just walked in, interrupted her and said, "You guys quarrel every time we meet. Let's just not see each other again."

Her voice was clear, and after she finished speaking, she was ready to go back to the room if it had nothing to do with her. Chen Jinhua saw that her face was covered with a layer of white greasy, her mouth was red, a black line was drawn on her eyes, and a layer of glitter was applied to her eyelids. Her eyelashes were ridged like a fly's legs, and she had no sleeves. top, and a short skirt that ended above the knees. He was even more angry than when Feng Man pointed at him and scolded him just now.

"come here."

How could Chen Jiajia not notice the suppressed anger in her tone?

Ever since she was beaten by her father once, she was afraid of what her father would look like when he got angry.

She couldn't move her legs, and her voice trembled slightly as she whispered stubbornly: "Don't worry about me, I will continue to make noise to you."

Feng Man stared at her, feeling glad that she was back at this time, "What have you been doing?"

Chen Jiajia's eyes couldn't stop darting, "I went to watch a movie. I'll be back as soon as the movie ends."

Chen Jinhua looked serious: "Go and wash your face."

Feng Man escaped with Chen Jiajia.

When they got to the bathroom, Feng Man let out a long breath and said, "Jiajia, let your dad come back to live. Mom can't live without your dad. Mom depends on you."

Chen Jiajia looked at her strangely, "Mom, you scolded me like that just now, and you still expect my dad to come back?"

No matter how smart she is, she knows that her mother is so angry that her father will never forgive her.

"Mom, let's leave it like this from now on. Dad thinks I'm not as good as Chen Yi, and I don't want to be told by him every day. There is a saying that a broken mirror cannot be reunited. Don't force it."

Her father was not at home, so no one would care about her anymore.

Feng Man slapped the wall angrily and said paranoidly: "We are a family, and a family should be together."

Chen Jiajia washed her face and retched in the sink.

Feng Man glanced down at her and suddenly smelled the smell of alcohol. She frowned and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

Chen Jiajia felt guilty: "I just tasted a little."

...

When mother and daughter went out again, Chen Jinhua was still sitting in the living room.

Seeing that his daughter's face had regained its freshness, he softened his expression and said, "I must be home before six o'clock from now on. Even if I don't come back, I will call home."

Chen Jiajia wanted to fight for herself, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she heard her father continue: "If you don't obey me, stop studying. I will transfer you to the camp and watch you under my nose every day."

What else can Chen Jiajia do? They can only be forced to surrender.
