"Can we finally sleep together?! Mother!"
Before Seungmi's voice rang in his ears, Yin Qingshan had been licking the uneven edges of the candy on his fingertips with his tongue. While Chengmei gently knocked on the door, she hurriedly tucked the wrapping paper under the pillow, and then pretended to be mature and fell asleep, breathing gently and regularly.
"When Agent Zheng was a guest at home, you were so sleepy that you couldn't open your eyes several times. But you persisted until I finished washing up. It's really hard!"
Suddenly, Yin Qingshan clicked his teeth together without thinking. Then, almost as her brown eyes were gradually filled with sunlight-like light, a ray of sunlight flying from the other side of the ocean spread out in her mouth.
"You are not allowed to eat sweets while sleeping. You will get cavities. After you get cavities, you have to go to the dental clinic to have them removed."
When she was young, Yin Qingshan once witnessed a tooth extraction process that was bleeding profusely, so when Seung-mi said the words that most mothers would say when they are excited, she suddenly spit several mouthfuls of saliva on the floor in a irritable manner. After confirming with her own eyes that no special color was mixed in, she rubbed her hands and approached Seungmei with a smile.
"I've done everything you said, auntie. How about I just performed very well?" Although Yin Qingshan kept talking about Chengmei's rhetoric, which was very common and unconvincing, but when Chengmei looked coldly, When he approaches her with his face open, she will still open her mouth wide again and again.
"Well, you can get off work and go home quickly. Don't worry about me and Cheng Yan anymore. After all, Yucheng and the two children are hungry at home. Yucheng's son-in-law, study, make money, temperament, anyway Everything is fine, but I can’t cook, and my housework is always messy, so please go back and help me quickly.”
Doctors once said that when such patients make movements such as shouting, raising eyebrows, or being stunned, they all have specific meanings. For a normal person like Cheng Mei, just distinguishing them is already a headache. At this time, her mother's serious words obviously had several hidden meanings, and she even told her that she could not understand the world in her eyes from the surface. This made Seungmei suddenly sleepless. She beat her chest and looked at her mother. Although her head was getting hard, she never gave up the idea of communication.
"Mom, you are really like this today. How can you still be...I have explained to you several times that that person and I are really just colleagues. And he can never be your son-in-law, mom. Even if I don't treat him well, Disgusted, or even favored, the most I can do is bring you a real son-in-law according to his standards. But I swear to God, your son-in-law will never be named Zheng!"
According to Chengmei's idea, the mother's model answer at this time should be: Uh-huh. But what made her even more annoyed and puzzled was that her mother continued to use her acting skills and imagination tirelessly. It even processes fragments that are difficult for ordinary people to connect together into a classic family ethics play.
"You really can make people angry! I've explained to you countless times, you really only have a daughter, not a son-in-law!" Looking at her never tired mother, Chengmei shouted hysterically. At this moment, not only the bed, Even the solid air is about to burst.
"Son-in-law Zheng, son-in-law Zheng, son-in-law Zheng..."
The room fell silent for a moment, and Seungmei's lungs were twitching from the violent shouting. Suddenly a cool breeze blew in. Yin Qingshan grabbed Seungmei's arm tightly and shook it hysterically. The feeling was almost the same as if the arm was broken.
"No, no, really not!" Seungmei shook her head and cried hysterically. Before Seung-mei could recover, Yin Qingshan suddenly covered his mouth with his hand again, smiling strangely.
"Mom, it's really not what you think. I know I delayed getting married until I was in my 30s, and you look very anxious. But you can't confuse reality."
"Then what is reality?" Yin Qingshan looked at Chengmei with disheveled hair, dry mouth and peeling corners of her mouth with cunning and teasing eyes.
"The reality is that the Zheng Yucheng you are interested in is a married man, and his wife is Song Zhuxuan, the only daughter of the famous TVA Group chairman in Anseong!"
Yin Qingshan shrank his neck back and carefully looked at the window and the ceiling in turn. Seeing her mother's even more confused look, Chengmei closed her mouth tightly, and her face suddenly darkened in pain. The two of them sat like this without saying a word for a long time. For a long time, Yin Qingshan crossed his legs, held his chin in his hands, and stared blankly at the ceiling, shaking like a tumbler.
"Anyway, no matter what you say, Zheng Yucheng is my son-in-law, not an agent, not a married man, not a chairman or Song Xuan's husband."
"Mom! I'm so angry at you that I'm laughing!"
From Yin Qingshan's point of view, her daughter Chengmei always gave out weird reasons, but she would not lie like Chengmei, so she would step forward and observe silently when Chengmei was laughing. Not only that, she also paid special attention to Seung-mei's "happiness, anger, love, and resentment" mixed with anger.
"No, mom, how did you guess Agent Zheng's full name? It seems like I never told you."
Seungmei laughed out loud, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Do you remember that your son-in-law's name is so outrageous? Oh, I remembered it. Did you and Cheng Yan always think that I was mentally ill?"
The room was once again surrounded by a cold air, making it look deserted. Yin Qingshan was very sad and depressed, and his voice was lonely.
"How could it be? Our mother is the most magical person in the world. She can even predict fate. That's great!" Chengmei suppressed her sadness and twisted the corners of her mouth, showing a flattering smile. , and gave a thumbs up to my mother.
"Silly girl, what are you so crazy about?! You think I'm abnormal, but I think you are really abnormal. You keep telling lies every day, no wonder such a good son-in-law doesn't like you! Send you back. "
Yin Qingshan muttered in a weak voice, then sat up angrily, then held the quilt high and lay down again away from Seungmei. Chengmei looked at her quietly, the corners of her eyes twitching slightly...
"Mom, I understand what you mean, and I promise you that I will get married as soon as possible." Chengmei said this, raised her head, and kept looking up at the bright starry sky outside the window.
"You, you have been different from other children since you were a child. The other children gathered together noisily, but you were left alone. At that time, your teacher told me that our family Chengmei's brain There is a world inside. If you don’t want to go out, your friends can’t get in. Later, when you grow into your 20s and 30s, I also find that you seem to be out of touch with the whole world. My baby As for Chengyan, she has always been a very smart child. She can make me happy and act coquettishly. So compared with her, you are like a fool and an idiot. By the way, you now have your own family. We have a child, and Cheng Yan is also married? At least it’s not like you who are becoming less and less promising as you live longer!”
My mother's voice sounded like she was always worried about something, and she had to live like a sinner even when she was sick. Chengmei suddenly covered her head in the quilt. As time went by, Chengmei's face, which was as white as paper, gradually became wrinkled and distorted, surrounded by the moisture of the pillow towel.
"I won't ask you anymore. You and Yucheng's son-in-law must have been arguing too much. It would be too difficult for you to raise Cheng Yan at this time. When I first got married, my cousin and I were in the sky and the earth, and we were in those boring comparisons. I’m almost depressed now.”
For a while, Yin Qingshan just looked at the back of Chengmei's head. She seemed to suddenly remember something again, and turned around quietly. Listening to her mother's weak sigh, Chengmei heard a loud bang in her heart, as if someone had thrown a stone in.
"Mom, do you really like Zheng Yucheng?"
Yin Qingshan slowly turned his head when he heard the sound, and the two of them stared face to face.
"Of course, my favorite child in this world is our son-in-law Yucheng. After your father left like that, the only person who became our mainstay was son-in-law Yucheng. Before you graduated, Son, he has been working voluntarily at our house. He tutors you on your homework for free. He also replaces lights and repairs toilets in our house for free. When replacing furniture, this child didn’t even drink a bottle of water. He worked hard like that without complaining. He is doing the dirtiest and most tiring work. You and Cheng Yan are just watching there blankly. Among the three of them, he is obviously the unrelated child, but he is the only one who is the most considerate. "
Yin Qingshan looked fiercely towards Seungmei again. "Did you tell me to shut up again? Or was my mother also arguing tit-for-tat with me in the dream?" Because her heart was too heavy, Chengmei sat silently on the bed. At some point, it was completely dark all around. The evening breeze that slipped in through the cracks in the window felt cool and cool on the skin, much like a woman's tears.
"So you want to live a good life with Yucheng, you know? What's the point of playing two games? Are you willing to force someone to stay up all night?"
Chengmei looked at her mother's face blankly. Suddenly there was a loud snoring sound like firecrackers in the room. Chengmei pushed her mother gently, and her mother chirped twice and mumbled something that Chengmei couldn't even understand.
"My son-in-law has a heavy burden on his shoulders. He not only has to take good care of you and your two children in life, but also works hard to go to work, work overtime, socialize, and work overtime. He also has to take good care of me and Cheng Yan financially. That little house of yours depends on him to repay the loan all by himself. If you think about it carefully, he is actually quite pitiful. So, you should be more considerate of him. If I hear you force your son-in-law to eat cold food again, If you want to eat, I will definitely pry open your mouth and let you eat all the leftovers I have saved for three years!"
"I see."
I don’t know if it was because her mother’s words were so unexpected, but Chengmei thought about it for a long time before answering.
"Then you can move back to my own home early tomorrow morning! If you guard your crazy mother and sister all day long, the neighbors will laugh at you."
My mother's whispering voice came to my ears again. Seungmei was shaking slightly as she cried. But the moment her mother turned around again, she showed a faint smile to her mother's unusually twisted face. That smile made people feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
"Mom, Agent Zheng and dad are all your favorite people, right? I will bring back a son-in-law who meets mom's standards as soon as possible."
"Um."
Chengmei looked at her mother with her mouth wide open, and her mother put her face close to Chengmei and smiled, with the corners of her mouth raised and the corners of her eyes drooping, so that her eyes and mouth almost touched each other. "If what I said is true, then my mother is a monster. The cutest monster in the world." Chengmei thought silently, and touched her mother's head sadly.
"If it doesn't meet the standards, I want my Yucheng son-in-law. Please, go and apologize to your son-in-law tomorrow, and then bring your son-in-law and the children back. We haven't seen each other for a long time. If you don't want to, I'm thinking too much." I'm crazy. I have an old lady with dirt on her neck. What else can I think about? I've already seen her once and that's less than once."
"Yeah, I will."
Seung-mei was unable to answer questions directly or hesitated more and more frequently when asked by her mother. In fact, her original intention was not to ignore it, but she couldn't expose the most basic things of joy, anger, love and resentment to a voice that could lose control at any time.
"Why are you humming a song again for no reason? I remembered it. Isn't this the song that was played after I gave you to Yu Cheng at the wedding?"
The room was noisy again. Seeing the indescribable happiness gradually appearing on her mother's face, Chengmei suddenly felt dizzy for a while.
"Hey! My mother has started to write novels now, the kind that others will believe is true."
Mom turned around slowly, her eyes widening for a while and then narrowing again. Chengmei knew that it was a special reaction that only occurs when someone is concerned about gains and losses. Chengmei nervously tightened her mouth into a "one-line" shape, and her mother suddenly sat in front of Chengmei again, holding her chest with her hands, without saying a word. It was really amazing, Seungmi took a deep breath, leaned back and made a creaking and shaking sound of the bed board. Mom finally put her hand gently on Chengmei's shoulder and muttered over and over again in a mosquito voice: "If you want to live, just live a decent life, idiot, idiot."
Chengmei smiled, but tears of disappointment still welled up in her eyes. From her lips that moved slightly towards the window, she seemed to be talking about the twists and turns she had encountered in her life in the past few years. For the younger sister Li Chengyan, who was secretly picking at the crack in the door, all she could hear from beginning to end was the two women taking turns sobbing, and occasionally the sound of blowing their noses. Perhaps she had understood all the content of the mime of life. After secretly closing the door, she suddenly placed her hands tightly across her chest like door bolts. Unknowingly, her hands slipped to her knees again, and finally she spread her arms. He lay in the cold moonlight for another long while, and the brightness lingering in his eyes gradually dissipated.
