Chapter 202

After Zhang Xin left, my dad smoked one cigarette after another. From his expression, it could be seen that he was very nervous.

And I felt the same anxiety in my heart, "Dad, do you still love my mother?"

My dad didn't expect me to ask such a question, and asked me with a cigarette in his mouth: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Then do you love Chen Yimei?"

"Fool. I'm so old, how can I love it or not." My dad stroked my head, and roughly put out half of the cigarette: "Is there any food in the refrigerator? I'll cook."

After speaking, he spit into the trash can.

As Chen Yimei once said, my dad is indeed a rough person. Although he has made some achievements in those years, he still can't change many living habits.For example, talking very loudly, for example, always coughing up old phlegm at every turn, for example, when I was fat in the past, I always liked to roll up my clothes to expose my stomach and put my feet on the stool, and happily drank Laobaigan, which was specially brewed by others.

This has been his habit for many years. I didn't criticize him like before, I just smiled and pointed to the refrigerator: "I just bought a lot at noon."

"Okay, haha, I'll make your favorite braised pork." My dad tried to hide his nervousness with a smile.

I didn't expose him, I got up silently and went to the room, tidying up the other bedroom so that he can sleep at night.But when I walked into the bedroom, I still couldn't hold back my tears. I have never seen my dad go out of the kitchen all these years since I was a child, but today he took the initiative to cook!Thinking about the scene later, he, Zhang Xin, Chen Yimei and I, sitting at the same table, will it seem that I am a bit redundant?

After dawdling for a long time, the bedroom hadn't been tidied up, but the cell phone rang outside.I turned around and went to get the phone, only to find that it was my mother calling.Some time ago, she said that she was going to practice in a temple in the snow area for a period of time. There was no mobile phone signal there, so there was no contact during this time. When she called at this time, it obviously made me timid, and I was not confident enough to pick it up: "Mom, Did you come back?"

"Not yet. It's just that my mobile phone has a signal in the urban area today, so I wanted to ask how you are doing?"

"I'm still the same." I tried to pretend to be normal.

"That's good." My mother's voice sounded a little low: "I saw a message from your uncle after the mobile phone received the signal today. He said... your grandma passed away."

"Grandma passed away?" I raised my voice in shock: "When did it happen?"

"In the first ten days, I heard from your uncle that before she left, she said that your father came back and she was leaving."

My heart skipped a beat. It was the day when my dad came back in the first ten days. Could it be that my grandma felt it?And my dad should have heard me talking, and quickly came out of the kitchen with a spatula. I watched him point to the phone, and asked him if he wanted to talk to my mom?My dad shook his head and mouthed to wait another two days.

Compared with my fussy appearance, my mother was much calmer: "It's okay, death is just a very painful process, and she should be in the world of bliss soon."

I can't understand what my mother is saying, and I found that after my mother changed to another layman forest, I can't understand her more and more.It's always like seeing through the world of mortals.At the beginning, he still cared about my dad's affairs, but later he just asked me about my current situation, telling me to pay attention to demons and the like, and not let my peace of mind be polluted by demons.I think my mother has believed in Buddhism for too long, and she has become more peaceful, and she agrees with her: "Mom, don't worry about me too much, I will take care of myself. When I find my father one day, Shall we come and pick you up?"

"Why do you pick me up? Going down the mountain and returning to the human world is just suffering from the sufferings of the world. I stayed here to save myself and everyone else, so I can be regarded as a proper way of cultivation. Alright, get busy, I'm going to meditate now."

After hanging up my mother's phone, my father didn't say anything more, turned around and re-entered the kitchen.After I went to the bedroom to tidy up, the doorbell rang outside the door. My heart was raised, but I didn't dare to open the door when I walked into the living room.It was my dad who came out of the kitchen, wiped his hands on the apron and opened the door, looked at Chen Yimei and just said naively: "Here you are?"

Chen Yimei was as proud as ever, she looked up and nodded as if nobody was there, and sat down on the sofa: "Xin'er, you picked me up to meet their father and daughter?"

"Well, Uncle Ke just came back and wanted to invite you to have dinner." Zhang Xin hung Chen Yimei's shoulder flatteringly: "Mom, look at Uncle Ke cooking himself."

Looking at it like this, before Zhang Xin brought Chen Yimei here, he probably didn't say anything to her.

"Didn't he run away due to debts? When did he come back?" Chen Yimei still looked down on my dad: "Ke An, this meal is probably a Hongmen banquet?"

"Mom, why is it a Hongmen banquet? My dad and I have just settled down here, so I just invite you to have a meal." I endured the unhappiness in my heart and sat beside her.

"Humph" Chen Yimei snorted disdainfully: "Is it that simple?"

Zhang Xin stood behind her and motioned me to stop talking, and I immediately shut up and went to the refrigerator to take out a bottle of mountain spring water and handed it to her: "Mom, you drink this."

"The elderly cannot drink cold water."

I resentfully poured water into the cup, took it to the kitchen to heat it up in the microwave, took it out and put it in front of her again, and stopped talking.Taking a closer look at Chen Yimei just now, the rosy luster on her face has disappeared, even the flesh on her face has loosened a lot in a short period of time, and a lot of age spots have appeared on her cheeks.Presumably, during this period of time, she has suffered a lot at home as a lone family, or else she wouldn't suddenly grow old so quickly.

"Let's eat at the table."

When my dad met Chen Yimei for the first time, he hardly spoke, but this time, he was very attentive.Chen Yimei put on a shelf and went to the table. When she saw the dishes on the table, she immediately changed her face, showing a trace of tenderness, but it only took a moment for her to return to her previous state.

Chen Yimei picked up the chopsticks and the first words she spoke were: "What is the score of the Hongmen Banquet, please tell me."

My dad pointed to the middle with his chopsticks: "Eat something first, we'll talk about it later."

"Yes, Mom, why don't you eat after eating?"

Due to Zhang Xin's dissuasion, Chen Yimei didn't continue to ask any questions, and ate in silence.I glanced at her from time to time, always trembling when holding the plate of braised pork.I was thinking, from time to time, what happened to her past?It turns out that no matter how strong a woman is, she still has a weakness in her heart.

After that, no one talked about the meal, but it tasted very unpleasant. It is estimated that everyone is brewing their own thoughts in their hearts, right?

When Chen Yimei put down her chopsticks and said she was done eating, my dad finally said, "Ke An, pour your mom a glass of wine."

This made me feel awkward.But he still poured a small cup for Chen Yimei and handed it to her without saying a word.

My dad raised his wine glass and let out a "hiss", "Yimei, the children are all here, I have something to say tonight, I'd better talk to you first."

Chen Yimei's hand that was about to hold the wine glass suddenly stopped, "What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm just telling the truth." My dad drank the whole glass of wine in one gulp, and put the glass in front of me as a signal to mix it up: "Just drink less to show."

Chen Yimei picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Don't be impatient, since I saw you two when I entered the door today, I knew that nothing good would happen."

"Hehe." My dad drank the wine I had just mixed, "There are many things to tell you tonight, but you have to promise me that no matter what you hear, don't get angry. No matter what, the children and I will stand up." Here to help you."

"Ke Zhongliang, what kind of medicine do you sell in your gourd?" Chen Yimei was obviously a little timid, and then turned to me and said, "Ke An, what are you two doing? Are you unable to fight and move the old one out? "

"Mom, don't get excited." Zhang Xin quickly patted Chen Yimei on the back: "Uncle Ke and Ke An have no bad intentions, you trust me."

"No bad intentions?" Chen Yimei probably realized something when she heard Zhang Xin defending my dad so much. "Ke Zhongliang, what are you worrying about? Don't think that I don't know. Don't think that in front of the children, the two years of being an educated youth can threaten me. I tell you that it has been so many years , you don’t have the energy to mention it now.”

"After so many years, you haven't changed at all." My dad said with a smile: "Don't think that people are so dark, the real dark people are hiding behind you, and you can't see them."

"Yes, I really can't see it." Chen Yimei echoed and said, "Xin'er, you helped them so much today, do you know everything?"

"Mom" Zhang Xin replied timidly: "I went to see Teacher Wen, and I also know that I am not my father"

Chen Yimei is indeed worthy of being a strong woman, her face didn't change at all when she heard this, "You know it, you will know it sooner or later. But Xiner, you are old and young, you should know how your father treats you all these years Right? Although he is your biological father, he once abandoned our mother and daughter."

"I didn't abandon you, and I didn't even know you were pregnant with Xin Er." My dad interrupted Chen Yimei, and said with red eyes: "Yimei, it doesn't make any sense for us to pursue the past. This is the era. The regrets caused by changes and coincidences are not your fault. It’s just that CC Group is on the verge of crisis and BJ’s branch has been listed, so you don’t realize why?”

My dad brought the topic to the point in a concise manner, but what he got in exchange was still Chen Yimei's stubborn thinking: "I realized it, how could I not realize it? It's just that I'm old and your family Ke An is still young, so it's really scary! I think You, Ke Zhongliang and me, have been known to Ke An and his wife for a long time, right? Ke Zhongliang, is it because you still can’t forget me all these years, and you are not good enough to their mother, that’s why you let your daughter behave like this Are you fighting against our Zhang family?"
