post middle age

Chapter 3
As soon as Ren Shuxia opened her eyes, it was already dusk. When she came out of the bedroom, she saw her daughter Keke alone, nestled on the sofa, playing with her mobile phone there. She gently came to her daughter, smiling. asked:

"Ke Ke, can you stop playing with your phone and talk to your mother?"

There was an embarrassing silence, and her daughter Keke didn't raise her head, and was still addicted to the mobile game by herself.

Grandma Ding Xiang couldn't stand it any longer, she smiled and persuaded:

"Ke Ke, your mother finally came home, so can't you talk to her?"

After listening to grandma's words, Ke Ke looked away from the phone screen and replied indifferently:

"it is good!"

"Ke Ke, how have you been studying in school recently?" Ren Shuxia carefully asked for nothing to say.

"Good" the word "good" popped out of Coco's mouth again.

At this moment, Ren Shuxia looked at her bewildered daughter, as if she had found something in her heart, she quickly got up and went to the bedroom, she quickly opened the suitcase, took out her daughter's favorite BJ specialty: Poria biscuits and BJ crispy candies, and held them in both hands. He came to his daughter and said:
"Ke Ke, do you see what delicious food Mom brought you from BJ?"

Ke Ke glanced at her mother, and replied with disdain:

"what!"

"You, we Keke have all grown up. As a mother, why do you still remember her childhood? Buy her these things to eat." While blaming her daughter, the grandma said to her granddaughter Keke:
"Ke Ke, why do you say this is your mother's heart for you, what do you look like on your face?"

Ke Ke did her best to save face for her grandma. At this time, the cloudy face suddenly turned sunny. She smiled and said softly to Ren Shuxia:

"thanks Mom!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately lowered his head, and the family was speechless for a while, the atmosphere was so embarrassing.

Grandpa saw it, smiled and said to the big guys:

"Let's go, let's go out for dinner tonight, and clean up your mother."

At this time, Ren Shuxia also wanted to take the opportunity to ease the awkward atmosphere between each other. With a shy face, she carefully asked her daughter Keke:
"Coco, what did you say you want to eat? Tonight, mom treats you."

"Anything!" The daughter replied indifferently.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go to eat Northeastern dumplings as a family. I know this is what our cocoa loves the most." Grandma said while pulling up Cocoa, and gently scraped Cocoa's nose with her fingers , said affectionately:

"You ghost girl, why do you suddenly become strangers to your mother?"

Ke Ke stood up, but ignored her grandma's question. Instead, she came to grandpa's bedroom by herself, took a hat, and handed it to grandpa with a smile:

"Grandpa, it's windy outside, put on your hat!"

Grandpa took the hat happily and said with a smile:

"When we grow up, we will love others!"

The family went out, took the elevator and went downstairs, and turned right not far from the community, and there was a "Northeast Dumpling Restaurant".

As soon as the proprietress saw their family coming in, she walked forward with a smile and said to grandpa:

"Old man, your daughter is back, are you going to cleanse her up tonight?"

This northeast dumpling restaurant has been operating here for more than 20 years, so Ren Shuxia's family is also a regular customer for them, and they know their hobbies well, so there is no need to talk, so grandpa replied with a smile:

"It's still the same, just watch it!"

The proprietress smiled and said to the bartender:

"A plate of cold beef, a plate of fried peanuts, half a catty of dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs, half a catty of dumplings stuffed with scallions and mutton, plus a half catty of the old man's favorite drink, Dukang Daqu wine."

Ren Shuxia's family just sat down, and after a while, cold dishes and liquor were served first.Grandpa said to his daughter Ren Shuxia:
"I'm happy tonight, Shuxia, let's have a drink with Dad."

"Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Ren Shuxia first filled a glass of wine for her father, handed it to her father, then filled a glass of wine for herself, raised the glass and said to the family with a smile:

"Father, Mom, it depends on how well you have taken care of your elders. I will express my gratitude to your elders with wine."

After finishing speaking, Ren Shuxia raised her neck and drank the glass of wine. A hot taste rushed from her heart, and her eyes immediately became moist. She quickly picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.

Daughter Keke glanced at her mother inadvertently, and muttered:
"A woman's family, what kind of wine do you drink, if you don't know how to drink, don't be brave!"

"That's right, old man, what kind of wine are you trying to persuade your daughter to drink?" The grandma looked at her daughter distressedly and cursed viciously.

"My daughter, I know, there is no electrification engineer who can't drink, right, Shuxia." Dad said with a smile.

"Mom, I'm fine!" Ren Shuxia raised her head, glanced at her daughter Ke Ke who was silent and bowed her head, and said to her mother.

Since then, daughter Keke never said a word, and the family ate dumplings and went home.
