Chen Ping’s criticism embarrassed me, and what’s more uncomfortable was that I couldn’t justify it. Isn't the stepmother a mother? of course! Since it is, why don't you remember the other party's birthday? Obviously unfilial!
Chen Ping saw my embarrassment, and her tone eased a little, and said, "In the future, treat your stepmother better. Didn't you say that you have a good relationship with your brother? Just take care of her for your brother."
When it comes to this, what else can I say, I can only nod my head and say yes.
To make up for my unfilial piety, I drove directly to the county seat and bought a birthday cake for more than 300 yuan. When paying, Chen Ping rushed to pay. Her reason is that since I said that I bought everything she bought home, she had to make up for it in order not to owe me favors.
I bought the cake and returned home, it was almost noon. My dad has prepared a large table of dishes, but my stepmother has not returned yet. So I drove my stepmother back home in person.
When I was eating at noon, my stepmother started to cry. Chen Ping sat beside my stepmother and wiped her tears with a tissue and asked her why she was crying.
My stepmother said it was because she was happy.
In fact, I knew in my heart that my stepmother was not out of happiness, but that she thought of my brother affectionately.
Chen Ping cut a piece of cake for my stepmother and said, "Auntie, this is the birthday cake that Chen An bought for you. When I was with him, he often mentioned you and said that it is not easy for you to manage this family. It's just him. I'm not good at expressing my feelings. We came back today to celebrate your birthday specially."
I have to say that Chen Ping's mouth is really good at talking, which not only lifted me to the sky, but also coaxed my stepmother.
But when I heard it in my heart, I was very uncomfortable. I hurriedly picked up the glass and said, "Mom, happy birthday to you. From now on, I will celebrate your birthday like today."
The stepmother nodded with tears in her eyes and said okay, and then she also took up one or two of the wine glasses in front of her and drank it. Put down the wine glass, took the cake in Chen Ping's hand with one hand, and held her hand with the other, and said: "Girl, I will come here often, this time I will stay for two more days. Auntie will make you a good meal every day."
Chen Ping said: "Okay, I listen to Auntie."
This meal was pierced by Chen Ping's needles, and our family’s food was happily, and even made me feel a rare warmth. It seems that the stepmother in front of me is no longer a stepmother.
, But my mother.
Looking at Chen Ping and my stepmother's sincere love and affection, it made me feel in a daze that I did not bring a friend of the opposite sex home, but a sister who had been separated for many years.
A meal was eaten from noon to more than two o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Ping helped my stepmother clean up the table again, acting very diligently. My dad's happy eyes were narrowed.
It can be seen that he is very satisfied with Chen Ping.
After finishing the housework, I called Chen Ping aside and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I made you laugh."
Chen Ping rubbed hand cream on her hand and said, "What's so funny about this. As long as the old man is happy."
I smiled and said, "My parents are happy because they think I have found a good girlfriend."
Chen Ping gave me a white look and said, "Chen An, you have become more and more capable of inserting needles."
I deliberately sighed and said: "I guess I will be bringing such a good girl home in the future. My parents will not be able to pass this level, because you are so good. Hey, speaking of it, I still have no abilities. I couldn't catch you."
Chen Ping laughed after hearing "Puff". Just about to speak, my stepmother walked out of the house. She took Chen Ping's hand and handed her a big red envelope, and said, "Pingping, the first time I met auntie also There is no gift for you. You can use this red envelope to buy clothes to wear."
According to our custom, if the child takes the object home for the first time, if the parents approve it, he or she must give a red envelope, which is also called recognized money.
Chen Ping hurriedly declined and said, "Auntie, I can't charge this money."
"Take it, take it, although it's not much but it's a little bit of my heart."
"Auntie, I really can't ask for this money."
Chen Ping refused to say no, but my stepmother wanted to give it to her. The two argued for a long time. In the end, Chen Ping still failed to violate my stepmother.
Judging from the thickness of the red envelope, it is at least two thousand. When Niu Tongtong came to my house, my stepmother only gave 500 yuan. I have to say that my stepmother really gave me face today.
Seeing my stepmother enter the room, Chen Ping immediately wanted to give me the red envelope. Of course I couldn’t accept it. This is not a question of how much money is, but once Chen Ping accepts my stepmother’s red envelope, it means she agrees. The identity of my girlfriend.
I secretly praised my stepmother's trick to "drive the ducks on the shelves".
"I can't ask for this money, you can help with this money
I will go back. "Chen Ping said.
I waved my hand and said, "How can I accept what my mother gave you? If I let her know, I won't say I'm not sensible."
Chen Ping whispered: "But we are not a couple."
"In their eyes, you are, who made you behave so well at the dinner table just now."
"Didn't I help you? Anyway, I can't ask for this money."
"Then you go and return it to my mother. If you want to disappoint her."
"You, how can you do this!"
I smiled and said, "How am I? Is it wrong for me to like you?"
Chen Ping frowned and couldn't speak. It took a while before she said: "You are hard for a strong man."
I smiled hippiely and said: "Anyway, you received the red envelope, it is my girlfriend."
Chen Ping sighed and asked, "Do you really want me to be your girlfriend?"
"I want to dream."
Chen Ping sighed again and said, "I really got on the thief ship."
My heart moved, and hurriedly asked: "Did you agree?"
Chen Ping said, "How about it?"
I almost jumped up happily. I didn't expect to find Chen Ping by all means, but was actually taken by my stepmother with a red envelope.
Happiness comes too suddenly, but it feels a bit unreal. But Chen Ping didn't seem to be joking or perfunctory me.
Regardless of him, anyway, in the end, people will be nothing, whether it is real or absurd, as long as they have actually experienced it.
Even though Chen Ping is lying to me 90%, but if that 10% is true, wouldn't I be awakened by a happy smile in my dreams.
Chen Ping said: "I am but, we must make three chapters."
"you said."
"One, in the course of our relationship, you can't think of me wrongly."
"No problem, before getting married, I will never take a step."
"Second, we must honor the elderly. You must go home often in the future."
This requirement is a bit strange. When talking about love between men and women, do you put honoring your parents first when determining the relationship? And it was the woman who offered to go home often to see her future in-laws.
Such a good daughter-in-law is often seen on TV, but in reality, it is a puffy water chestnut. I did not expect such a good woman who is "filial to the father-in-law" to meet me.
I vowed to say: "No problem, I will go home once a month from now on. What is Article 3?"
