He Jifan arrived home at 6:30 in the evening, and when he entered the door, he saw his mother and wife sitting on the sofa talking and laughing, with two children playing beside them. This scene was very warm and beautiful.
During the meal, Shen Meng kept picking up vegetables for Dou Weier, and Dou Weier looked at the pile of meat in the bowl, and couldn't help feeling distressed, it was also a distressing thing for her mother-in-law to target her too much, and treat her too well.
"Mom, I don't eat meat." Being a model is the most important thing to keep in shape.
"Look at you, you're skinny. You'll lose weight in a few years if you don't eat meat." Shen Meng said disapprovingly, "I know that you have to keep in shape in your job, but you can't neglect your health. Just exercise more after eating." She said, she put another spare rib into Dou Wei'er's bowl.
"It's far from four years old, when will you have another one?" Shen Meng went around and said the topic.
Dou Weier grinned while biting her chopsticks, He Jifan said: "It's enough to have these two brothers, why are there so many?"
"Zhou Zhou to the end" Shen Meng only said half of what she said, Dou Wei'er and He Jifan behind him understood, Dou Wei'er glanced at Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou was already eight years old, even if adults didn't explain clearly, he might not understand many things.
Seeing that Zhouzhou didn't seem to hear what grandma said, Dou Weier was a little relieved.
"Mom, the matter of the child depends on fate." Dou Weier wanted to end this topic.
"It depends on fate, but you have to make some preparations. In the future, you should eat well, don't eat this or that, take care of your body, and the child will come as soon as you say it." After saying this, Shen Meng changed the subject: "Tomorrow your uncle's house is full of moon, and you specially told me to take it to Yuanyuan. I have asked the teacher from Yuanyuan for leave, and you two will also go there tomorrow."
Zhouzhou looked up at his grandma, then at his father and mother, then bowed his head and ate quietly.
He wanted to go too, but it was a pity that the adults seemed to have forgotten him.
He was different from his brother, he could feel it.
Shen Meng didn't leave at night, after giving Yuanyuan a bath, he told him stories, Zhouzhou was doing his homework while listening to the voice of the grandmother in the next room telling stories, with envy in his eyes.
Dou Weier came in with milk, although Zhouzhou quickly concealed her emotions, she still noticed the envy in his eyes.
Because of his identity, Dou Weier will pay more attention to his emotions, for fear that what he notices in the process of growing up will affect his mental health.
"Zhouzhou." Dou Weier walked over and put the milk in his hand, "Is there a lot of homework?"
"No, I've almost finished writing Mom." Zhouzhou said, "Mom, why haven't you slept yet?"
"Come and see you." Dou Weier patted his head, "Do you want to celebrate the birthday of uncle's cousin tomorrow? If you want to go, mom can ask the head teacher for leave tomorrow morning."
Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?" Then he became frustrated, "But grandma doesn't seem to want to take me there."
"That's not it, it's grandma who asked me to ask if you want to go. I'll ask for leave tomorrow morning for you. I'll go to bed early after I finish my homework. Tomorrow I'll be energetic and happy to see my uncle's brother."
Zhouzhou nodded heavily, "Well, I'll sleep right away."
Dou Wei'er returned to the room and said to He Jifan: "Zhou Zhou is very sensitive to some things now that he is a university student. Find a suitable opportunity to talk to your mother, and go to Zhou Zhou when you feel distressed and far away, otherwise Zhou Zhou will feel that he is not as favored as his younger brother."
He Jifan was looking at it with his mobile phone, and nodded absently upon hearing this.
Dou Wei'er was dissatisfied with his perfunctory, "What are you watching so engrossed in?"
He Jifan held up his mobile phone to show her, "Talk to them in the group."
He set up a WeChat group earlier, and the people who joined it were all his buddies who usually had a good time, as well as their wives.
Dou Weier was also in the group, she glanced casually, and the ones who talked the most were He Jifan and Cheng Ruyu, she curled her lips, "If you have the time, why don't you do something serious, and see when Husband Xinxin and Husband Xiaoyu have bluffed with you."
He Jifan was looked down upon, and immediately became unhappy. He threw away his phone, hugged Dou Weier and fell on the bed, "Alright then, let's do something serious now."
Dou Wei'er hasn't showered yet, she wants to push He Jifan away, "I haven't washed yet."
He Jifan pressed her tightly, "I don't despise you."
Dou Weier suddenly remembered that he had had so many women before, she was a little annoyed, and kicked He Jifan on the forehead, "You used to not dislike your ex-girlfriends so much, and you also lived with them like this."
He Jifan was just getting into it, when he was kicked unexpectedly and almost fell off the bed, he quickly grabbed the foot that was kicked over again, kissed him twice without hesitation, and said: "No, they are not as clean and beautiful as you, and I like to give you this."
Dou Weier blushed and said angrily, "Slick tongue, who would believe you?"
"I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart." He Jifan followed her instep and kissed her all the way up, speaking vaguely.
Dou Weier bit her lip, her maroon curly hair bloomed like a flower on the pillow.
For Shen Wangjin's grandson's birthday party, the He family naturally had to count them down.
Only a few days after Shen Meng came back, she has not yet divorced He Changju, and the He family and the Shen family are still related by marriage.
He Changju still had lingering fears about the twelve elder brothers-in-law of the Shen family. He didn't want to come, but Mrs. He insisted on wanting him to reunite with Shen Meng, so she gave the order to die.
Shen Meng came early to help Shen Wangjin greet the guests. As soon as He Changju came, he saw Shen Meng wearing a dark blue dress. Perhaps it was because of traveling abroad. Her skin was darker, not as thin and tender as before, but her figure was much better. Her muscles were not as loose as her age, firm and elastic, like a young and energetic girl, but she had a charm that young girls did not have.
She was joking with others, and when she was happy, she would cover her lips with her hands and giggle.
He Changju suddenly remembered decades ago when they were in the same high school. Shen Meng was a famous beauty in the school.
He Changju didn't like this kind of girl who wasn't quiet at all. It happened that at noon in summer, when everyone was taking a nap, he was in the quiet corridor and saw her standing and chatting with another girl. The other girl didn't know what she said, which made her giggle with her hands covering her lips.
At that time, there was a gust of wind brushing her cheeks and blowing her long hair, and for a long time afterward, that image was lingering in his mind.
"Dad, what are you looking at?" He Jifan's voice pulled back He Changju Piaoyuan's thoughts, he recovered, Shen Meng was no longer where he was before, He Changju looked away, and looked at his son, "Where is Zhouzhou and Yuanyuan?"
"I went to see the little birthday star." He Changju held a champagne glass in his hand, "Dad, do you also think that my mother is too beautiful today?"
He Changju ignored him, walked away, and sat down in the corner. His eyes patrolled the audience intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't see Shen Meng again.
Shen Meng didn't appear again until the banquet started.
"Xiao Meng, come and sit here." Mrs. He quickly raised her hand as she saw that Shen Meng was about to sit at the Shen family's table.
Call her over.
Seeing Shen Meng's expression of hesitation, Mrs. He directly leaned on her crutches to ask for someone. Even Shen Meng, who did not know what to do in the past, would not let an elderly person do this for herself. She hurried forward to meet Mrs. He, "Mom, you are still walking so fast at such an advanced age, isn't it worrying, go back and sit down."
Mrs. He held Shen Meng's hand and did not let go, "You sit with me."
Shen Meng nodded, and followed her to the table of the He family.
"You do this." Mrs. He pointed to the seat next to He Changju.
Shen Meng looked at Dou Weier's side, "I'll just take Weier's place."
Mrs. He refused, "If you don't sit here, I'll stand."
Shen Meng was helpless: "Mom, aren't you playing tricks?"
"I'm so old, I'm not allowed to play tricks." Madam He pouted like a child. People say that the older you get, the more you look like a child. This is not false at all.
The guests next to him all looked over, Shen Meng couldn't say anything more, so he quickly sat down, this was after all the full moon banquet at the eldest brother's house, and all the people who came were famous and distinguished.
On the Jing family's side, Ye Qingxin took the matter seriously, and anyone who knew the inside story could see Mrs. He's intentions. She turned her head and said to Jing Boyuan in a low voice: "Grandma He wants to match uncle and aunt, but I'm too embarrassed to watch."
Shen Meng has changed, and she no longer cares so much about some things, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't care about He Changju's betrayal at the beginning, and judging from her current attitude, she should still be very resistant to He Changju.
Jing Boyuan glanced at the He family, but didn't say anything.
After drinking for three rounds, Jing Suosuo came over with a big belly, "Xinxin, I want to ask you a question."
There was an empty seat next to Ye Qingxin, she opened the chair to let Jing Suosuo sit down, "What?"
"Does it hurt to have a baby?" Jing Suosuo was worried.
Ye Qingxin: "" It seems that everyone around me who is having a baby for the first time likes to ask her this question.
"Everyone's situation is different, but it's not that painful, and it's over." Ye Qingxin said, "You're almost on your due date."
"Yeah, just these few days, I've been worried every day." Jing Suosuo rubbed his stomach, and the silly and sweet look from a few years ago faded from his brows and eyes, adding a bit of wisdom and mother's tenderness.
Not long after she married Cheng Ruyu, she became pregnant with a child, but for some unknown reason, the child died before it was formed. She was immersed in the pain of bereavement for the next few years, until she became pregnant again this year, and her situation improved.
It may be that she has grown up after going through this incident.
"Relax, you'll be fine. Besides, your husband is the dean, and he will definitely arrange for the best doctor to deliver the baby for you." Ye Qingxin touched Jing Suosuo's stomach, and Jing Suosuo's eyes were filled with anticipation for the coming little life.
"I heard that Xiaoguo's daughter-in-law is also pregnant. Congratulations." Jing Suosuo laughed.
When Ye Qingxin mentioned that Xu Jinhuan was pregnant, she was also happy, but at the same time felt distressed, "Huanhuan's pregnancy reaction is very serious, she has been lying in bed for several days, can't eat or drink, and is so thin that she has no figure."
"It's so serious." Thinking that his two pregnancies were not as serious as Xu Jinhuan's, but he had suffered a lot of crimes, Jing Suosuo couldn't help feeling: "You said that we women are desperately trying to bear children for men, and some men always think about women outside.
He Changju, who should have been beaten up and thrown to the mountain to fend for himself: ""
He came over with a wine glass to have a drink with the three Jing Zong brothers, but when he heard this, he felt a little blocked, and went back to his seat and fell silent. Shen Meng was no longer here, and was called to the lounge by Shen Wangjin's daughter-in-law.
Jing Suosuo's words reminded him of Shen Meng's birth to He Jifan when he was not ready for a cesarean section. Shen Meng was the first child again, and the delivery process was extremely painful. He screamed all day and night before giving birth to the child. He hugged her hair that day and swore that he would never let her have a child again.
Later, after a few years, the heart-piercing pain was gradually forgotten by him, so He Yunxiao was born, and then He Yiyi was born.
He Changju didn't know what happened today, but remembered many old things.
At night, she also dreamed of her wedding with Shen Meng.
The next morning, he sat on the bed and smoked a few cigarettes. He wanted to recall why he and Murray got together in the first place, but he couldn't really think about it. Instead, he had a much older relationship with Shen Meng. He can still recall many details.
Just as He Jifan came out of the business club, he received a call from Lao Tzu.
"Dad, what's the matter"
"I have time to have a meal together in the evening. I haven't had a good meal with Yuanyuan for a long time."
"Okay, you book a place, and I'll go to the kindergarten to pick up the fare later."
"It's not safe to eat outside. It's better to eat at home. I'll go to your place to eat." After a pause, He Changju asked: "It shouldn't be inconvenient."
He Jifan seemed to understand something, with a half-smile, "I'm not inconvenient, it's just that Mom lives with me for the past two days, and I'm afraid it will be embarrassing for you to meet."
"What's so embarrassing, I went to you to see Yuan Yuan, not for her." After He Changju finished speaking, he left a sentence: "That's it." Then he hung up the phone.
He Jifan looked at the words that the call was over on the screen of the mobile phone, and smiled evilly and knowingly with his mouth crooked.
Call Dou Wei'er, "Daughter-in-law, when will your side end? Let's pick up the two children in the evening and go out for a big meal."
When it was over, I called Shen Meng again, "Mom, I want to eat the Buddha Jumping Wall you made, you can make it for me, I can pick it up from Hezhouzhou, I have nothing to do today."
The son has a request, and the mother must actively fulfill it. Shen Meng hurriedly went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, and then went into the kitchen to make Buddha jump over the wall. The other dishes were made by the housekeeper.
At six o'clock in the evening, none of the four members of He Jifan's family came back. Shen Meng and the housekeeping aunt had already prepared the meal and called He Jifan.
"Hurry up, the food is ready." After urging, he added: "Be careful when driving, and don't be in a hurry."
He Jifan smiled: "I know, hang up first."
Dou Weier waited for He Jifan to cut off the call before speaking, "Is it really okay for us to do this, mom will definitely guess that we did it on purpose, what should I do if I get angry?"
He Jifan: "It will be fine if you coax her, don't worry."
Shen Meng hung up the phone, and after a while, the doorbell rang from the entrance.
She directly told the housekeeping aunt, "They are back, you open the door, I will go back to the room and change clothes, there is a smell of oily smoke."
When she came back after changing her clothes, she saw the old god He Changju standing in the middle of the living room, and was taken aback for a moment: "What are you doing here?"
