Conformity

Chang Yuan withdrew his hand as if being hit by an electric current. Because he was aware of his physique, he honestly rolled down the car window. He didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything.

The smell of gasoline in the air is mixed with some vague fragrance, through the gradually rising and narrowing window slits, the Sophora japonica flowers in full bloom by the roadside leap into view.

He recognizes this kind of flower tree, Tongcheng is also known as Xiaohuai Township, although Chang Yuan can't remember much, and he has been away there for a long time, but some things are soaked into the bone marrow, and he will not think of them deliberately, but they are hard to forget, such as hometown and feelings.

Shao Bowen realized that he was looking at acacia, and remembered the big meal at night: "Old Cao made steamed fish with acacia, I remember you like this."

Chang Yuan likes to eat fish, especially fish roe, but his mother Chi Mei can't stand the smell of fish, and she vomits when she smells it, so when he was a child, he ate this dish from Baijia Banquet.However, there are not many Sophora japonica flowers in S city, they are not clean, and they can hardly be eaten. This is a local dish in Tongcheng. He hasn't heard of it for a long time, and he was a little surprised at the moment: "Is Mr. Cao also from Tongcheng?"

When the green light came on, Shao Bowen stepped on the clutch and said with a smile: "He is from City K, but he is Chinese when he enters the kitchen."

Chang Yuan let out an "oh", and then there was no more.

The back seat was so noisy that the roof could be overturned, but Shao Bowen drove smoothly. Chang Yuan accidentally glanced at him sideways, vaguely remembering that he used to be particularly annoyed by people making noise around him, that's why he treated himself better than Shao Lecheng. It seems to be a lot warmer.

The community is only a quarter of an hour's drive away from the construction site. Building 2# is a large apartment with two elevators and four households. When you get out of the elevator, the corridor is full of hot pot smell. Chang Yuan was led by Shao Bowen to 7-103#. The door was opening, but they I can't get in because there is a small horse in the middle of the door, and there is an unhappy baby sitting on the stool.

The boy was about five or six years old, his complexion was yellow, and he didn't look particularly healthy. He probably only saw Shao Bowen, the tallest among the group of five, staring at him, and said resentfully, "Humph, you don't talk too much, my lord." .”

Shao Bowen was carrying a bunch of gift boxes of rare treasures from others, and was about to go back to soak in hot pot, but he didn't take him seriously at all, like chasing a chicken: "Nonsense, move the chair, please come in, Uncle Yuan."

"Which Uncle Yuan?" The child didn't recognize the leader, tilted his head and glanced back and forth between Chang Yuan and Guo Zijun, but he still got up from the chair and began to move the stool.

Shao Bowen said, "The one next to me."

The child's gaze was fixed, Chang Yuan stared at him, and found that he had no similar facial features with Shao Bowen, but his tone was so intimate, Chang Yuan felt a little chilled, thinking that the child's face might be just like his mother's, And this woman might be in the house, he regretted coming here a bit.

The child bit his lip, and after a few seconds he said as if he was reading: "Hello, Uncle Yuan, I am Hu Zi, and welcome to my house as a guest."

Chang Yuan had never raised a child before. He didn't know that today's children are very good at talking sweetly, and because their inherent innocence is irresistible, he was a little at a loss: "Thank you."

Huzi let everyone in, Shao Bowen put Chang Yuan on the sofa, Xie Cheng and Zhou Yi went to the kitchen with big bags and small bags, Guo Zijun also helped carry things, and they were left there together to work for Lao Cao .

Shao Bowen was going to put things in the kitchen, and Huzi moved a small bench and followed behind him, saying: "I can't finish my homework, it's all because you came back so late, you do this every day."

Shao Bo heard that he was in the way, so he turned around and bent his knees against his bench legs. He originally wanted to say, "If you didn't write in a kindergarten, you didn't write." But when he accidentally saw Chang Yuan alone in the living room, he immediately changed his mind. With a tone of mouth, he squatted down to abduct children.

"Your uncle Yuan has good grades. The four walls of the house are covered with big red flowers. He has passed all the top ten babies and three good students. You can ask him if he would like to teach you how to write."

Huzi immediately turned his head to look at Chang Yuan, and found that he didn't start looking for wifi when he entered the house like everyone else, but was sitting upright on the sofa, as if he was reading his homework on the coffee table.

He looked hesitant, that's why he was tempted. Shao Bowen put down his hand strap, touched his bald green head, shook him back and forth, and continued: "And his name is also like yours, His name is Chang Yuan, your name is Lu Yaozhi, and they all mean the same thing."

The ten best babies were so attractive that Huzi finally moved the stool to the sofa.He put the stool at Chang Yuan's feet, sat down opposite him, blinked his single eyelid: "Teach me to do my homework."

Chang Yuan didn't see any signs of the child's mother, so he breathed a sigh of relief. The sudden appearance of this child made him feel a little guilty, so he didn't care about his imperative sentence, and said, "... If I know it, yes, What grade are you in this year?"

In addition, Guo Zijun has no shortage of helpers in the kitchen. Shao Bowen came out of the kitchen and saw Huzi lying on the sofa biting the penholder, and Chang Yuan sitting sideways pointing at his homework. The scene was so warm that he didn't want to move.

Across the wall, Guo Zijun squatted on the ground peeling green beans, and whispered to Xie Cheng: "Chengzi, I really didn't expect Mr. Shao's son to be so big, although he doesn't look like him."

Xie Cheng was peeling the lotus root: "Yes, but don't let the tiger hear the second half of the sentence, he will jump up and hit your knee."

Guo Zijun was a bit puzzled, whoever stipulated that a son must look like his father, this child is really withdrawn.

Lao Cao made a bold move to set up a table of dishes and a hot pot. There were many dishes but few, and only Huzi was a stranger. It is said that everyone else in Shao Bowen Company was dispatched, and he could drink whatever he wanted.

Chang Yuan was very cautious at the beginning, but thanks to Xie Cheng, who are not big or small, the atmosphere on the table has always been relaxed, except for Shao Bowen who always let him try this and that, others are quite at ease.

Lao Cao was a master of craftsmanship, and Shao Bowen divided the spoils between two chopsticks, half of which went to Hu Zi, and the other half went into Chang Yuan's bowl. He felt that Shao Bowen was a bit ostentatious, and he had to know how to back down when eating out, and he was eating alone with a doll. So he blocked the chopsticks: "Thank you, I can reach it, do it yourself."

Shao Bowen laughed dumbfounded, realizing that he was still treating him like a child, he dropped his chopsticks into the tiger bowl, pointed to the steamed fish and said to Chang Yuan: "Eat more if you like, they usually have enough. "

Chi Mei had many restrictions on him back then, and table manners were one of them. Every time there was a wedding on the street, there was never a place for Chang Yuan on the table.

The children are ignorant, and they want to monopolize what they like to eat. Chi Mei does not allow this behavior of taking advantage, so Chang Yuan sits on the small bench next to her and cannot see the table. Naturally, he does not know what is on the table. Chi Mei Mei gave him food according to the head, and didn't allow him to waste it.

This caused Chang Yuan to have no enthusiasm for the meal, as long as he went out to eat, his chopsticks would always only move clockwise on the few plates in front of him.

Chang Yuan said yes with a bowl in his hand, but he didn't take much action.

Huzi was still young, so Shao Bowen put a chest pocket around him, telling him to eat rice everywhere, and his face was covered with miso soup.Under the influence of Chi Mei, Chang Yuan couldn't stand it anymore. When Shao Bowen went to add food, he resisted the urge to wipe his face. He thought to himself: This is Shao Bowen's son.

Huzi was sleepy in the middle of eating, Shao Bowen dragged him into the room with one hand and went to sleep without taking a bath, and Chang Yuan was speechless for a while.

It has to be said that the young people's fighting power is terrible, and when the table was over, there was not much left.Guo Zijun hadn't practiced his drinking well yet, but he drank too much, and he could no longer walk in a straight line. He said drunkenly, "Mr. Shao, thank you, no need to send him away", but he didn't know that Shao Bowen was just dropping him off by the way.

When Guo Zijun got into the rental, Chang Yuan had to go back. He walked for a while into the community and found Shao Bowen following behind, so he stopped: "Is there something wrong?"

Shao Bowen's face could not be seen clearly in the dark, but his tone sounded cheerful. He said, "You won't believe me when I say I'm walking."

Chang Yuan thought he was nervous. People who are dozens of years older still act like boys and girls. He stood still and said, "I believe it. Let's go."

"It's almost gone," Shao Bowen said seriously, "It's nothing, just, I want to send you off."

Chang Yuan didn't understand for a while, and he continued to say: "When you left your hometown, I regretted not being able to send you for a while."

Chang Yuan thought of Huzi calling him dad, and wanted him to go further away: "If you don't deliver, you don't deliver. You have your own business to do, so you don't need to deliver now. I'm right at the door."

"Okay." Shao Bowen didn't force it, but the topic jumped, and suddenly turned to Huzi: "Xiaoyuan, do you know any Chinese medicine practitioners, recommend one or two to me, Huzi is similar to you, and he can't detoxify his liver. "

The child's skin was abnormally yellow, Chang Yuan himself was just a medicine jar, he sighed and took out his phone: "Yes, write down the phone number."

He reported his mobile phone number, and Shao Bowen also leaned over to look at it. The two of them were almost head-to-head, and Chang Yuan immediately tilted his head back.

The light from the screen was reflected on his face, and Shao Bowen wrote it down and said: "Xiaoyuan, if you have time, come to the 7th floor and walk around. I think Huzi likes you very much. He has a personality that is a bit out of gregarious. He is the same as you when you were young. He likes you." Do your homework."

Who likes to do homework!Chang Yuan endured it, calling him an idiot in his heart. Seeing Shao Bowen clicked save, he put down his phone and planned to leave: "Let's talk when we have time."

Shao Bowen could see that his attitude was perfunctory, so he didn't say much, and just dialed him a number.

After Chang Yuan walked a few steps, the phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number starting with 135. After he got through, he said, "Hello, hello."

However, both inside and outside the receiver were Shao Bowen's voice: "Xiaoyuan, it's me. This is my private number. Only Huzi knows about it. If you need me urgently, you can use this number."

Chang Yuan really wanted to turn around and ask him why he should specialize himself. Huzi is his son, but what about himself?

But he still left without looking back. It was extremely noisy at night. He thought he would be quiet for a while when he went home, but when he opened the door, he found that the lights were brightly lit. It looked like his mother was squatting on the ground and wiping the floor for him with a towel.

The floor was already shiny with oil, and not a single dog hair could be seen. Chang Yuan didn't know whether he dared or didn't want to step down. The little wine he drank at Shao Bowen's just now burned like a fire in his body, making him uncontrollably annoyed distracted.

He pulled off the tie vigorously, and the pressure brought by the excessive friction made him calm down. He coughed inexplicably, and went into the entrance to change his shoes: "Mom, why didn't you say anything when you came here?"

Chi Mei stood up holding a towel. She was nearly half a hundred years old, but because of her natural beauty, she looked much younger than she actually was. She had a melon-seeded face, gentle eyebrows, and her hair was coiled up to reveal her slender neck. She had the air of a lady.

She walked towards Chang Yuan, smiling half angry and half angry: "It's not all about you, if you don't go back to see me and your dad, I can only come here, don't you dislike me calling you all the time, I'm afraid of you I'm busy again, so I'll just wait for you to come back. God, how much wine have you drunk, aren't you still coughing?"

Chang Yuan avoided her approaching to sniff, took a towel and pushed her towards the sofa, a little helpless: "I didn't drink, I ate a few mouthfuls of dishes made with wine. I don't think you are annoying, it's just that working hours are inconvenient It’s always said that parents are short-sighted. No matter how busy you are, you have to tell me when you come here. In case I change the lock and I can’t come back because of something, are you running for nothing, or are you waiting?”

Chi Mei sat on the sofa and said, "Why change the lock properly?"

Chang Yuan knew that he had made a wrong analogy: "I don't want to change it. I said what if it was picked up by a thief, or it broke down by itself, no one can tell."

"That's why I said let you go home and live. Young people renting a house outside. Your father and I are so worried about what will happen in the news today."

"It's too far away, I can't get up," Chang Yuan had long since given up using the reason "he is a capable adult" to reason with her.

He got up to put the big money in from the balcony, and found that his dog's four feet were wrapped in medical cotton cloth, walking around, whining and acting like a baby at him, he squatted down, and hugged the big dog Money, thinking about it in a bitter way, is really like a fake dog.

When Chi Mei saw him cuddling with the dog, she immediately became a little anxious: "Hey! It rolled around on the ground for a long time at night, and its body was very dirty."

With all his strength, Chang Yuan picked up the big money and said, "OK, OK, I'll take it to take a bath."

The big guy didn't need to bind his feet after washing, and he became a good man again when he came out wet. He didn't get close to Chi Mei, and when he saw her sitting on the sofa, he ran to the kitchen to shake his fur.When Chi Mei saw the dog go to the kitchen, she dried the washed mulberries on the cooking table to control the water, fearing that this silly dog ​​who was not picky would steal them, so she hurried to the kitchen too.

Chang Yuan packed up and came out, and saw his mother on the sofa talking on the phone, saying that the mulberries were very sweet, and asked Chang Yuan to thank her in person some other day.

Before he could ask after hanging up the phone, Chi Mei was so happy that she couldn't help herself. She patted the sofa beside her and said, "Come on, this mulberry was sent by Xiaorong at night. Her uncle's sports car I brought it here for you to try something new."

Zhan Rong also lived in this community and raised a little Pomeranian. Chi Mei met him when he was walking his dog. Later, she always liked to invite Zhan Rong to sit at home. This was the main reason why Chang Yuan didn't want his mother to come over.

His face turned cold, Chi Mei cared about what he was happy with, the kindness of nurturing was greater than heaven, and he could let her do whatever was passable, but if she involved another person on the grounds of being a male college student, that would be too much It's too much, she doesn't know that he has a lifelong illness.Besides, it's not a question of whether the woman dislikes him or not.

Chi Mei was so flustered by him, she couldn't help but sat on the sofa, trying to change the subject: "Come on, it's very sweet."

Chang Yuan intercepted the hand she sent over, took the mulberry from her fingertip and put it back, knowing that it would hurt her heart, he squeezed her finger very tenderly: "Mom, I'm yours." Son, I am not a puppet. I am filial to you, so I should follow you and not make you angry, but I am not happy if I follow you blindly."

Chi Mei looked at her little son in disbelief who had given everything for him, and felt that he had no conscience. She pushed Chang Yuan away and began to wipe her tears, and was about to leave with her handbag.

Chang Yuan didn't keep her this time, they couldn't continue their conversation every time, she cried every time, and he softened every time, how could he take a new step like this?Chi Mei rushed out of the house, and Chang Yuan followed her closely. He would send her home and then come back.

After 9 o'clock, there were only a few ground lights left in the community, and only one light at the main entrance.

Chi Mei was a little tired, and her pace gradually slowed down. Her attention was actually on the footsteps behind her, but because she was facing forward, all the pedestrians outside the door were in her eyes.

A tall man passed by the door, and Chi Mei was shocked. She felt as if she had seen Shao Bowen.
