On this day, Situ Shuo went to the cram school to attend classes as usual, and received a call from his mother Jia Lan at noon, saying that the mother and son hadn't eaten together for a long time, and they planned to have dinner together near the company at noon.

Situ Shuo agreed. At the end of the year, his mother was always busy with work. He didn't understand it when he was young, but since his parents divorced, he didn't care.It's better to keep a person who complains all day than to let her do what she likes to do.

In Situ Shuo's opinion, my mother should love her job very much.

At noon, in the tea restaurant downstairs of a certain group company, Jia Lan was dressed in professional attire. As he walked into the revolving door of the restaurant, he took off his badge from his chest and stuffed it into his bag. He walked up to Situ Shuo with a smile.

It seems that my mother is in a good mood, and she even put on bright red lipstick.

"Are you hungry? Xiaoshuo, what do you want to eat?"

Situ Shuo looked at the colorful dishes on the menu, but he didn't have any appetite. Judging from his experience in eating takeout in the past few years, the more beautifully printed the dishes, the easier it is for people to be disappointed.

He turned the recipe in one direction and rushed to his mother, saying, "Mom, let's order."

Jia Lan casually ordered a few times on the menu. Situ Shuo tilted his head to see that they were all very simple dishes. It is estimated that his mother did not stay long to have this meal with him.

"Are you on vacation?" Jia Lan poured a cup of tea for his son, lowered his head and rummaged in his purse.

"It's been two weeks." Situ Shuo turned his neck helplessly, and said again to ease the embarrassment, "But I'm in cram school recently."

"Is there something I can't keep up with?" Jia Lan's face immediately became serious, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were slightly wrinkled.

"No, I just want to learn the next semester's courses ahead of time." When it comes to studying, Situ Shuo seems to be interested, he straightened up and said, "This final exam, I got the first grade in the grade."

"Really?" Jia Lan continued to rummage through the bag, as if he felt that this result was a matter of course, and he was not very happy.

Seeing her expression, Situ Shuo didn't have the intention to continue talking, he just gave a faint "um" and lay down on the table to sip his tea.

"Oh, I found it." Jia Lan put on a smile, took out an envelope from her bag, and said, "In the past few days, my mother has a lot of property reports to do, and she will work overtime until late, and running back and forth is too time-consuming, so I simply applied for it at the company. A dormitory, just plan to get through it. You take the money, tuition fees and living expenses, and tell your mother if it’s not enough.”

Situ Shuo looked at the thick envelope on the table, and suddenly felt that those words that lied to him that he didn't care about his mother working outside the house all day were all fake.

"Did you hear that?" Jia Lan pushed the envelope forward again, "It's almost Chinese New Year, can I take a few days off, and then I'll be with you then?"

Situ Shuo nodded, brushed his fingers across the cold glass on the table, took the envelope and stuffed it into his pocket.

In the distance, the waiter came over with a tray, and Situ Shuo whispered, "Then mom, take care of yourself. If you need anything, I can bring it from home for you."

Jia Lan thought for a while, leaned back slightly, and asked the waiter to serve the food: "There's nothing I need. If you want it, I might as well buy some from the nearby supermarket. Running back and forth wastes time, and you still have to study."

Situ Shuo thought that it would be okay to run for a while during the winter vacation, but he was afraid that his mother would teach him how to manage time and waste time on meaningless things, so he stopped talking and picked up chopsticks to eat.

Before the meal was over, Jia Lan was called away by the company.

Situ Shuo stared at his mother's [-]/[-] empty job bowl, lost his appetite for a while, got up and went back.

This was the first time in his life that he skipped class. Thinking of how bad he was in the high school attached to Normal University, he didn't skip class either.

When he got home, he took the envelope containing the money out of his pocket and threw it on the table casually.Looking at the messy home, he was suddenly in a bad mood.In the past, no matter how busy my mother was at work, she would spend a day on weekends to clean the house.Now……

While thinking about it, Situ Shuo put the snack packages on the table into the trash can.Maybe he is not sensible enough, Xia Lei is always alone at home, but the house is still so clean and tidy.But I rely on my mother for everything, no wonder she doesn't like to go home.

He took the garbage to the kitchen, took a rag to wipe the table, glanced at the calendar on the refrigerator, and made a circle on January 1.

He still remembers that he made this circle himself when he bought a new calendar last month. January 1th is his mother's birthday.Situ Shuo immediately went to check his mobile phone and confirmed that today is the 28th.

God!I actually forgot my mother's birthday, and still blamed her in my heart.

Situ Shuo couldn't help feeling guilty when he thought about how his mother worked so hard all day for the livelihood of both mother and son, but he was acting childish.

"Om..." The phone still in my hand vibrated.

Situ Shuo looked down and saw a message from Xia Lei: "Finally back!"

"So fast?" Situ Shuo threw the rag and nestled in the sofa and replied.

"Do you think I came back early?"

"No, no," Situ Shuo suddenly thought of Xia Lei very much. If that person was by his side, his mood would not be as bad as it is now, but he glanced at the calendar again, swallowed what he wanted to say, and only asked, "You know How do you cook the chicken soup?"

Situ Shuo stared at the screen. It took a long time before he received Xia Lei's text message, which was marked with Arabic numerals. From buying chicken, washing chicken, cutting chicken, to choosing seasoning, adding water, and stewing soup, every step was meticulous.

Situ Shuo couldn't help admiring this foolish chicken soup teaching.Xia Lei is such an amazing person, nothing can trouble him except that he can't do exercises.

Thinking about the two meals he had eaten at Xia Lei's house, Situ Shuo suddenly came up with an idea. He wanted to try cooking again and cook her favorite chicken soup for his mother.

For the time being, hide the thought of missing Xia Lei.Situ Shuo took two pieces of money from the envelope on the table and flew out to buy chicken.After returning home, it took nearly three hours to stew the chicken into soup according to the recipe sent by Xia Lei.

He scooped the soup into the thermos one spoon at a time, imagining the happy expression on his mother's face when she drank the soup, and suddenly became a little excited.

Just in time for lunch, Situ Shuo took a taxi to the downstairs of his mother's company. He hesitated several times and wanted to deliver the soup, but he felt a little shy when he thought of asking his mother to drink his soup in full view, so he planned to call and ask her to come down. Pick.

Situ patiently called Jia Lan's cell phone over and over again, but there was no answer there.

After a while, Situ Shuo looked up, and his mother came out of the building together with an uncle of about the same age.Situ Shuo was about to catch up, but unexpectedly, a black Mercedes-Benz drove slowly.

The uncle opened the car door with a smile, covered the frame of the car with his hands, sent the mother who was also smiling into the car, and then went around to the other side and stepped into the car.

This is?

Situ Shuo's hand holding the chicken soup suddenly lost consciousness, and his heart, which had been excited for a long time, suddenly felt the severe cold of winter.

He carried the soup and walked down the street dejectedly, like a fool who had lost his mind, and he was sore and aggrieved by the trademark on the handle of the insulated rice bucket with his thumb.

To say that my father and mother have been divorced for many years, and my father has already formed a new family. If my mother has a boyfriend or something, I probably won't object.But why?Mingming said during lunch that he was too busy to live in the company dormitory, now he has time to go out with others?

As the sky gradually darkened, Situ Shuo's fingers pinching the rice insulated bucket were already red from the cold.He didn't know why he suddenly missed his father very much.If dad is with me now, at least he can talk to me and have a serious meal together.

"Dad, I miss you." Situ Shuo sent a message to Situ Xingye.

"Is the chicken soup ready?" Situ was walking on the street at the beginning of the Hua Deng, and boredly opened WeChat, which contained a message from Xia Lei.

"Where are you? Can you come out?" Situ Shuo called Xia Lei and found that his voice had become hoarse.

"I just got home and packed my luggage, where are you?" Xia Lei asked.

"I'm on the street, ha ha." Situ Shuo smiled wryly, and turned around to look at the bustling street that was a little strange.

"Which street? I'll come over now." Xia Lei could hear that Situ Shuo was unhappy, but his tone was surprisingly calm, as if a person who had waited patiently for a long time finally got a chance to express himself.
