Beloved Concubine

Chapter 40 All of a sudden
Xiao Shitou drinks with Fang Yu.

Zhou Huiqin held a Baisuo in her hand, and wanted to put it on her son and left, but the son ignored her.

Seeing that she was being treated coldly, Chen Xiao wanted to find something to chat with her, but he didn't know what to talk about.Because some topics may touch things that others don't want to mention.

"Sister Zhou, are there any customs for the Dragon Boat Festival here? For example, what to eat and what to play?" Chen Xiao finally thought of an idle topic.

She knew that eating zongzi and rowing dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival was to commemorate Qu Yuan. There is no Qu Yuan in this world, so they should not have the custom of eating zongzi.

Zhou Huiqin said: "Dragon Boat Festival is mainly about wearing Baisuo and eating snake meat. As for playing...no. But wait until the tenth day of June when there is a Kazakh singing festival, and it will be very lively."

Suddenly, Chen Xiao understood why Zhang Lizheng asked his son to give them a snake today. It turned out that this thing should be eaten tomorrow.

Chen Xiao said to Xiao Shitou: "You should know that snake meat is eaten tomorrow, right?"

"I know." Xiao Shi chewed the meat.

"Then why didn't you remind? Let's save it for tomorrow."

"Eating today is the same as eating tomorrow. Anyway, you can eat snake meat during the Dragon Boat Festival."

Seeing his son's attitude when talking to his boss, Zhou Huiqin wanted to remind him to be respectful to his boss.But the son didn't even look at her.

Fang Yu said: "Tomorrow I will buy another snake and have another meal."

"There is nothing to eat every day."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, she turned her head and saw the earnest expression on Zhou Huiqin's face, as well as the Baisuo she had been holding in her hand.

She also wore Baisuo when she was a child, and knew the meaning of Baisuo.

She said to Xiao Shitou, "Let your mother put the Baisuo on for you."

"No. I'm not a child anymore." Xiao Shitou took a sip of his wine.

"In front of mother, no matter how old you are, you are still a child." Chen Xiao taught him a lesson.

Little Shitou didn't speak, just lowered his head to eat the vegetables.

"Do you know the meaning of Dai Baisuo?"

"In the past, I wished my mother would wear Baisuo for me. But, I don't have a mother..."

Chen Xiao didn't know what was wrong with him. After saying this sentence, tears burst out suddenly.She couldn't control her tears a little, and immediately turned and went back to the house.

Several people at the dinner table were fooled by her.

Fang Yu reacted quickly, he was stunned for a second, got up and followed Chen Xiao's room.

"what happened to you?"

Chen Xiao found a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

"Nothing. Just a sudden burst of tears."

In fact, she is not sad at the moment, and she doesn't know why she suddenly shed tears.

If it was in the past, Fang Yu would tease her, "Why don't you lose your memory again? Remember no mother".But now, he learned more from the boa and where she came from.

He stood beside her silently, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know what words to use to comfort her.

Chunhong was very surprised.She had never seen Sister Chen cry.

Little Stone looked blank: Did I make her cry?

Zhou Huiqin secretly sighed.She knew that motherless children would shed tears when they mentioned their mothers.Zhou Huiqin is also a motherless child, she knows why Miss Chen is crying.

"Little Shitou, no matter how old you are, in mother's eyes, you are still a child."

Zhou Huiqin controlled her emotions, and there were crystal tears in her eyes.

"This is the last time this year. You will be an adult next year, so don't wear it if you don't want to."

Before Xiaoshi made a living by catching snakes, Zhou Huiqin was always in fear, for fear that he would be bitten by a poisonous snake or encounter danger outside.

She can't control him, and he doesn't let her control.She silently prayed for his peace every day.

Little Shitou saw that his mother seemed to be about to cry, and said, "Put it on! Help me put it on my neck."

Finally hearing that her son agreed to wear Baisuo, Zhou Huiqin stood up and put it on for him.

inside the room.

After Chen Xiao wiped away her tears, she was ready to go out.I saw Sister Zhou get up and wear Baisuo for Xiaoshitou.The steps that were about to step out were taken back.

She saw that Xiaoshitou was having trouble with his mother.Although she doesn't know much about Xiao Shitou's heart, she does know a little bit about the rebellious children of modern divorced parents.

Fang Yu followed behind, she stopped suddenly, Fang Yu didn't stop, his chest hit her back.Chen Xiao was almost staggered by him, but he hurriedly hugged him.

The chest on the back is like a wall, and the arms wrapped around it are like a safety railing.

Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat, feeling "being cared for" for no reason.

These days, she saw that Fang Yu wanted to chase her, and she also gave him a chance. Although they didn't say anything, they were in a vague state before they fell in love.

Of course, this is only what Chen Xiao thinks.She uses the modern love way to understand the process between them.

She felt that the two of them hadn't formally confirmed their romantic relationship, but in Fang Yu's view, it was confirmed that she and him "as evidence".

Chen Xiao didn't break away his arm immediately, and stood there without moving.

Fang Yu felt her delicate body and smelled the fragrance of her hair, and his arms tightened involuntarily.

Chen Xiao had a strange feeling in his heart.Or the feeling of heartbeat.

She knew that Fang Yu had been defending her, helping her to cover up or explain things of "unknown origin".

Isn't he curious? —but he didn't.

He has a very special tacit understanding, which makes Chen Xiao a little hard to understand.

She guessed that Fang Yu didn't lose his memory, but just had some secrets that he couldn't tell.So when she has something "can't explain", he will take the initiative to explain it for her.

This may be a "secret exchange".

He acquiesced that she had amnesia, and she also acquiesced that he had amnesia.However, both parties should know that neither of them has amnesia.

Chen Xiao knew that he had revealed too much.In this regard, Fang Yu did better than her.He hardly showed any tell, even if he showed one or two places, it was just for her to see.For example, he knows about military uniforms and spirit stones.And help her explain the origin of the peppers.

In fact, Chen Xiao was very curious about what kind of place Xiling's "Northern Black Mountain" was. Why, as the shopkeeper of Ruyilou, who was from Xiling, heard that the peppers came from the northern Black Mountain, so he didn't ask any more questions. He seemed to believe it completely.

Of course, as a "secret exchange", Chen Xiao never asked Fang Yu where Montenegro was.

This is their tacit understanding.Know each other, don't ask each other.

Chen Xiao saw Sister Zhou helping Xiao Shitou put on the Baisuo, then pushed Fang Yu's arm away and walked out of the room.

Seeing Chen Xiao coming out, Zhou Huiqin said:
"I'm so sorry! I interrupted you." She actually apologized for making Chen Xiao cry.

After all, she is in her thirties, with a delicate heart, and knows that there are some things that cannot be said directly.Saying "I'm sorry to make you cry" at this point will only be embarrassing.

"Nothing." Chen Xiao smiled.

Zhou Huiqin saw that his youngest son had finished eating the bowl, and said:
"We're leaving now. Thank you!"

Her last three words were very meaningful.It seems to thank Chen Xiao for entertaining the younger son to eat snake meat, and it seems to thank Chen Xiao for persuading the eldest son Dai Baisuo.But she has another meaning: thank Chen Xiao for taking Xiao Shitou.

Aunt Shen went to tell her that Xiao Shitou had come to Chunji Snack Restaurant, and introduced Chen Xiao and Fang Yu to her.Said that the two of them are amiable and generous, Xiao Shitou came to them, so she can rest assured.

Zhou Huiqin was not at ease at first, and sent someone to observe secretly.The man went back and told her that the little stone was fine here.

During the meal just now, she saw the way Xiao Shitou got along with them, and she was relieved now.

"When I go back, I will ask you where the ball was made." Zhou Huiqin never forgot about it.

"Thank you!" Chen Xiao took her hand and thanked her sincerely.

If someone asks, she can save a lot of detours, which is a great help.
