Conformity

Chapter 24

The evening peak in the inner circle of the CBD is a veritable "blocking road".

Chang Yuan got stuck in the traffic and inhaled the exhaust, controlled the most urgent impulse in the morning, but now the old god is there.

The car owners around seemed to be heads down, some were talking, some were typing. At this time, the lone family was doing nothing, especially without hiding. Looking down, he found that it was Shao Bowen calling from his son's special number.

Chang Yuan stared at it for two seconds, then picked it up. Shao Bowen asked him if he had eaten, meaning he wanted to treat him to a meal, and thank him for his head-hugging rescue this morning.

Chang Yuan regretted that impulsiveness, but he also planned to invite Shao Bowen to dinner after he came back from his parents' house.

"It's a subconscious reaction, don't mention it again, you can eat," he opened his mouth and said nonsense: "But I have a call to answer now, I'll get back to you later."

The dinner was all arranged, and there was nothing wrong with being late, Shao Bowen hung up as soon as he said it, without any entanglement.

Chang Yuan had the key to his parents' house, but he never came and didn't bring it with him. His father, Chang Zhongshan, opened the door for him. After entering, he found that Chi Mei had set up a table full of Han people with great fanfare.

This woman loves him more than anything else, but her family affection is too heavy for him to bear.

During the meal, the atmosphere on the parents' side was very pleasant. Chang Yuan held the chopsticks and said in his heart that he would wait until the meal was finished.After eating, his father said that the overnutrition needs to be scraped off, and he took out the tea set to make tea. The boiling water was bubbling in the pot, and it was terrible to spill it. Dare to take the risk.

Finally, when his father's bladder was overwhelmed, Chang Yuan poured out all the remaining water and soup on the table calmly, then went to see Chi Mei and said, "Mom, I met a fellow villager at the construction site today, you Guess who?"

Chi Mei's heart skipped a beat for no reason, probably because she had pondered too much these days, and the word "Shao Bowen" jumped out at once.

Ever since she "suspiciously" saw this person that night, she has been restless. In order to take Chang Yuan away smoothly, she chose to trick Shao Bowen away.It is unrealistic to say that there is no guilt at all, so she left some money at Shao's house before she left, and the amount was almost exactly the round-trip travel expenses for Shao Bowen to find relatives.

She didn't expect Shao Bowen's subsequent encounters, which made her act of compensation look like a colluding conspiracy. In the years before he lost contact with Chang Yuan, Shao Bowen had always been bitter about his adoptive parents.

Now that her son is living a normal life, Chi Mei firmly believes that her choice back then was right, and that these two children will only destroy each other if they are tied together.

She didn't want to take up this topic, but her husband didn't have a good heart with her, and immediately expressed the curiosity that should be human: "You don't even look at how old your mother is, you still guess, just say it."

Chang Yuan stared at her without blinking, and forced a smile on his face so as not to look blunt. He didn't miss the shock of his mother's slightly stared eyes, and he vaguely understood that what Shao Lecheng said was probably true, but he still I want to ask her, when she ran to someone's house to give advice blindly, did she ever think that it would cause a big mistake.

"Shao Lecheng." This is the truth.

Chi Mei's heartstrings were tense, and she was stunned for a few seconds when she heard the answer. The remaining impression of this person in her mind was that he was a young man with a bad temper and overweight. Most importantly, he hated Chang Yuan.

She breathed a sigh of relief for a while, only to realize that Chang Yuan had been looking at her. She felt a little weird, but she couldn't tell, so she could only wipe her face with her hands, and asked suspiciously, "Is there something on my face?"

Chang Yuan shook his head, and heard Chang Zhongshan ask: "If the second son of the Shao family is with you, then the eldest of his family must also be engaged in construction. I remember that he was doing this before you graduated."

Just as Chang Yuan was about to answer, she was interrupted by Chi Mei again. She slapped Chang Zhongshan with a very stern expression: "What nonsense!"

This is a code word full of "Chang family characteristics". Chang Yuan has a bad memory, and Chi Mei doesn't want to hurt his heart. He is not allowed to mention the past at home, especially before he returns to stability.

In fact, Chang Yuan didn't hide illnesses and avoid doctors so much, otherwise his strong personality and that terrible amnesia would simply not be able to coexist, but everything is afraid of what the other party thinks.

Chi Mei firmly believed that he just didn't talk about the pain in his heart, and always wanted to pour chicken soup into him. She had a background in psychology, and she guided it one after another.

Generally, if there are "features", the topic should be shifted technically, but not this time.

Chang Yuan patted Chi Mei's arm reassuringly, telling her not to get excited: "I don't know about this, Shao Lecheng didn't say anything, he was quite busy, so he left after saying hello."

Chi Mei was afraid that they would get in touch, so she tentatively asked, "Why is this kid Lecheng at your construction site? Don't you say that the project will be finished this month? Did he leave you his contact information? Leave it and call him over Let's have a meal, haven't seen each other for many years."

"I said I wanted to stay, but I forgot when I got busy," Chang Yuan spent an entire afternoon preparing, and made it up without changing his face: "By the way, Mom, he said he would send hello to you on behalf of his brother, and said that he was trying to make a fool of himself. Thank you for guiding him."

Chang Zhongshan was still out of town at that time, and he only returned to his hometown when he moved. As he got older, his problems with inquiring into the bottom line became more and more serious. Hearing this, he thought his wife had done some good things without leaving a name, so he asked in doubt. up.

Chi Mei was even more at a loss than him. She just read the newspaper and lied to Shao Bowen to leave temporarily. Be wary.

"I, I didn't do anything," she said in shock: "The two sons of the old Shao family who are about the same age go to school together and get married together. At that time, the eldest brother of the Shao family was in a car accident again. Sister Gui cried every day, saying that there was no way out. There happened to be a missing family notice in the newspaper, so I showed it to her, she called and asked, and the situation was basically consistent with their boss, Sister Gui thought it was God's will."

The "Sister Gui" in her mouth is Li Zhigui, Shao Bowen's adoptive mother. Chang Yuan thought coldly: This is just a hoax.

"She wants her child to try it. If she's lucky, she can find her bloodline and enjoy the blessings. But Lao Chang, you should have the impression that the boss of the Shao family is very stubborn. He refuses to go. He and... I persuaded him. advise."

Chi Mei was going to say "he has a good relationship with our son", but she suddenly changed it when she was about to say it. This is what she didn't want to see, and she didn't want to cause any suggestive misleading to Chang Yuan.

Chang Yuan lowered his head and listened, his mind was full of thoughts. In his fucking rhetoric, the elders of the Shao family tended to send Shao Bowen back to his biological parents' home from the very beginning, and there was no need for her to persuade him. This is what Shao Lecheng called "provoking" If there was a conflict, did she persuade her or not?

Chang Yuan made up his mind, and stumbled again: "Mom, I almost forgot, Shao Lecheng also said that his mother misses you very much, if it weren't for you, she wouldn't have been able to make up her mind back then."

Chi Mei was misled one after another, and she thought she had accumulated a virtue. Since the result was good, then she was unintentional. She waved her hand and said modestly: "They themselves are blessed, and it has nothing to do with me." .”

Chang Yuan's heart seemed to be a weight. His mother made him think about it with fear, but to his father, Chang Zhongshan, she was still a generous wife, and her desire to control had always been directed at her children.

Chang Yuan stood up suddenly, without looking at Chi Mei, afraid that he would show hostility, he turned around as if he was in a hurry to leave, needless to say, Chi Mei immediately followed, she always wanted to send him away Go to his rented house and come back.

The voice-activated light turned on and off. Chang Yuan stood in the dark, looking at the figure who looked like a girl at the entrance of the corridor, feeling breathless in his heart, but he still shook his head: "Mom, I just lied to you."

"I did meet Shao Lecheng, but he didn't thank you, he hated you. He told me that the family-seeking notice was sent by a liar group. Shao Bowen went all the way there, and sold it after being stunned."

Chi Mei gasped, and even raised her hand to cover her mouth. There was a moment of eerie silence in the darkness, as if a dynamic revolving lantern had been turned on in her mind. Sometimes she thought it was impossible, and sometimes she was angry and lied to Chang Yuan. He, after a while, turned into the familiar figure that passed by that night.

She lost her mind and said, "How did this happen? Then, that boy Bowen, how is he doing now?"

"Mom, you answer my question first." Chang Yuan's heart was twisted, "I want to hear what you thought back then? Why did you go to Shao's house to make that kind of suggestion?"

Chi Mei's eyelids twitched, and she was irritated by his indifferent facial expression, because her angry voice raised her voice unconsciously: "What kind of suggestion? What kind of attitude do you have? Do you blame me? Oh, I suggest that others buy a medicine, she If I bought it and ate it and then died, then I am a murderer and has nothing to do with the pharmacy?"

"Their family is already torn apart. Isn't my suggestion a way out? They have to accept it themselves. The Shao family did the verification themselves. They didn't identify the other party as a liar, so they don't worry about letting their son go alone. If it were you, I would accompany you no matter what I said."

"Ten thousand steps back, if they really treat Shao Bowen as a family, I will give him a hundred suggestions and he will not be pushed out. I didn't expect that I was wrong, but the responsibility is not pushed in this way. This kind of result The Shao family should bear the greatest responsibility."

"And you, my son, you came back and yelled at me after hearing a few words from outsiders. I can see clearly now," Chi Mei burst into tears: "You still miss him! Sometimes I really wish , can't wait..."

I wish you were never better!

The two broke up unhappy that night. Chi Mei tossed and turned. She didn't know whether it was a dream or a memory in the chaos. She saw Shao Bowen, who was still a teenager. He couldn't support his stature and looked a little thin. The small note inside was slowly revealed...

She jumped up from the bed as if she had been shocked by an electric shock, but she woke up at a bad time, unable to cut off the progress bar in the dream, and Shao Bowen's voice lingered in her mind like a lingering sound.

Auntie, this is my phone number, if there is anything about Xiaoyuan, you can call me——

Ten years ago, mobile phones were still very expensive. An adopted son from an ordinary family who couldn't even afford to go to college suddenly had a mobile phone before he left. How could she believe that for her son, everything he did was just a gift? For morality?

Chi Mei was in a daze for half the morning. She found the little note from the bottom of the box. She never planned to give it to Chang Yuan, but she never threw it away.

It has been in many places in the past ten years. The storage box, the bottom of the biscuit box, and the piggy bank have creases one by one, but the number is still clear. Probably because they are afraid of getting wet, they wrapped it with tape several times. The gaps were filled with black smudges.

This is the care and affection of a young man. Holding this piece of paper, Chi Mei had an almost certain intuition in her heart that if she could get through, someone would pick it up, but she didn't dare. If Chang Yuan had no contact with Shao Bowen, then she It is to lead the wolf into the house.

This entanglement lasted until after breakfast, when she turned on the computer and prepared to write a thesis.

She was always worried that something would happen to Chang Yuan on the construction site, and she was used to going to the construction sections of various construction forums every day to take a look. She started to browse as usual. , many people were injured] the post was pushed to the top and pushed to her.

The text of about 800 words described how devoid of conscience the demolition party was, and the first picture rolled into Chi Mei's sight. The two men were frozen in the camera in a struggle, and the one facing the loess was suppressed and unable to move. The man who subdued him lowered his head. Chi Mei glanced up and was shocked immediately.

Xie Chengfeng came into the office in the same way, and saw Shao Bowen feeding his son bean curd. The scene was so Sunday that he thought he had misremembered the day.

But don’t bother me, Boss Shao’s three-dimensional is quite good, but he has been sprayed as a fighter in the sieve on the Internet.

Xie Chengshun took a small steamed bun from Huzi, stuffed it in his mouth and picked his phone while chewing: "Mr. Wen, you've hit the headlines."

The information about the forced demolition broke out in the self-media last night, and it became a push news early this morning. Without the huge size, the navy gang could not achieve this effect. Shao Bowen saw it early in the morning, and there were many criticisms below. He looks like a dog", he took these people to praise him for his handsomeness.

He just happened to be captured in a particularly vicious way. He was a cannon fodder who entered by mistake. Shao Bowen didn't think he would have a sense of existence for a long time, but if he showed his face in the news, anyone who was interested could see him.

When he received Chi Mei's call, he was thinking about where to have dinner with Chang Yuan at night.
