Eccentricity

Chen Ziran came home in that ragged school uniform, and was scolded as expected.

When she opened the door with a key, her mother, Liang Roujie, had already cooked the meal. She was sitting on the sofa watching TV and knocking sunflower seeds. When she heard the movement in the entrance, she stared at the TV and said, "You're back? How is Ziying's rehearsal going?" ? Hard work?"

"I'm not tired at all, Mom, what delicious food did you cook today?" Chen Ziying took off her calfskin boots and kicked them aside, changed into cotton slippers, ran to the sofa with a smile, and snuggled up to Liang Roujie, He took a melon seed from the bag in her arms and knocked it.

Liang Roujie gently pinched her nose with two fingers, and said cheerfully, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat shrimp yesterday? Today I got up early and went to the market to buy the biggest live shrimp, and I made oil for you." Stewed prawns, because of this, I didn’t go to the poker game in the morning, and I don’t know how much money I won.”

"Wow, braised prawns in oil? I like it!" Chen Ziying hangs on Liang Roujie's neck, and kisses her on the face with a bright smile, "As expected, my mother is the best!"

Liang Roujie smiled with satisfaction: "Little brat, you have a conscience."

Liang Roujie was beautiful when she was young, but now she is middle-aged, with deep wrinkles on her face, and she can still recognize her youthful beauty from her facial features.Chen Ziying and her are like carved out of the same mold, except that their lips are not quite alike. Liang Roujie's lips are plump, while Chen Ziying has a small mouth with thin lips and a delicate shape, not only unlike Liang Roujie, but also not like her father Chen Dazhi.

Chen Ziran's shoelaces were tightly tied, and changing shoes was slow. He listened to their conversation, without saying a word, silently put his own and Chen Ziying's shoes under the shoe cabinet, and then walked in, lowering his head and calling softly. Mom.

Of those two pairs of shoes, one pair of leather is shiny and brand new, and the other pair is gray and the laces are too gray to wash off. You can see that the sole has been repaired in several places on the heel, and there are black scars one after another. The dog skin plasters are placed together, which is extremely uncoordinated.

Liang Roujie raised her eyes in response, and seeing the school uniform on Chen Ziran's body, her kindly smiling face just a second ago suddenly turned cloudy, she stood up with her hips crossed, and before Chen Ziran could explain, she complained in a high-pitched voice like a cannonball Get up, "Chen Yuran, what's the matter with you? You got into a fight? Why did you make such a big hole in your school uniform? You said that you are almost eighteen, why are you so worrying all day long? You and I Is it easy for Dad to make some money? Can you let him be so bad?"

Chen Ziran had expected such a situation in his heart, but he still felt ashamed of being taught a slap in the face in front of his younger sister. He stood awkwardly in front of Liang Roujie, clutching the hem of the torn school uniform, not daring to say a word. The back of the hand was too hard, and the knuckles turned white. She scratched the scabbed wound in the palm, and there was a small tingling pain, as if the wound was pulled away and started to bleed again.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Chen Ziying came up to help her sister to smooth things over, "Mom, I accidentally fell down when I was going upstairs today. My sister's school uniform was scratched on the railing to save me. If it wasn't for her, maybe it would be broken." The back of my head needs to bloom, you are so reasonable, don’t blame her? Then what, I’m so hungry, let’s go eat, shall we? Don’t we still have braised prawns?”

When Liang Roujie heard this, her face turned pale, and she smiled at Chen Ziying, "Okay, eat, go wash your hands... Put down your schoolbag first, it's so heavy, your waist is bent!" She chased after Chen Ziying's back and said .

Chen Ziying groaned in the bathroom.

Chen Ziran also wanted to wash her hands. Liang Roujie's red nails poked her forehead, and she complained again, "How much do you think you have wasted since you were a child? It's a good school uniform. Same, let’s look at you again, how amazing you can get through such a big hole! Do you know how hard your dad is making money? Look at what time it is, your dad is still working overtime! It’s just his monthly thousands of dollars The salary is enough for you to practice a few times?"

Her nails were newly made last week. They were long and sharp. They poked on Chen Ziran’s forehead. Mother just had this temper, she scolded her, and it would be fine when the scolding subsided, so she stood obediently and listened to Liang Roujie's scolding, and a fingernail mark was poked on her forehead, which made her dizzy from the pain, and what was even more uncomfortable was She was almost an adult and was embarrassed by being taught as a child. She lowered her eyes and stared at the big hole in her school uniform, her eyes were numb, and she didn't even blink.

The red sweater under the school uniform has been worn for a long time and has been washed countless times. In addition to losing its warmth retention effect, even the wool has begun to rot, and several of them are broken. Chen Ziran carefully remembers it. Then burn those thread ends, and then sew them up, so that the sweater will not come off the needle.

Liang Roujie became angry when she saw her wooden appearance, and wanted to dig out the things she wasted when she was a child one by one. At this moment, Chen Ziying came out after washing her hands, and shouted: "Mom, sister, what are you doing?" Why don't you come over for dinner?"

"Hey, come!" Liang Roujie agreed loudly, then looked at Chen Yuran who bowed his head and said nothing, gritted his teeth and said, "It's really a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, a girl's family, there is no shame at all! You Can't you learn from your sister?"

Chen Qiran, who had been listening dully, didn't shake her hand holding the hem of her clothes until she finished saying this sentence.

"Get out of the way!" Liang Roujie bumped into Chen Ziran and walked towards the kitchen.

Chen Ziran's heart was dug into a big hole by Liang Roujie's last words. Not only did it hurt, but it also felt cool. She grabbed the gap in her school uniform and thought angrily, if only she had walked a few minutes earlier today.

That way he won't bump into Gu Qiong, and won't break the school uniform.

Chen Ziran is used to taking all the faults on herself, forgetting that the reason why she went out too late was because Liang Roujie refused to let her go out in the morning, and she had to wash the dishes before going out.

In the small and crowded living room, Chen Yuran stood alone for a long time. She attributed the fault to herself, just because her mother reprimanded her as "shameless", but she couldn't vent the grievance in her heart. Feeling hot, I was confused and didn't know how to resolve it, tears started to swirl unknowingly, afraid of being discovered by others, I hurriedly wiped them away.

Chen Ziying waited for a few minutes, and seeing that Chen Ziran didn't come, she shouted again: "Sister! Come and eat!"

"Come on!" Chen Ziran wiped her eye sockets in a panic, and responded with a hoarse voice.

At this time, when Chen Dazhi got home from get off work, he saw Chen Qiran standing alone in the living room in a daze, putting the keys on the shoe rack, and asking while changing his shoes, "What are you doing here? Where's your mother?"

Before Chen Ziran could answer, Liang Roujie shouted in the kitchen: "I taught her a few words just now, she is angry with me! This child, the older he is, the less he sees me as a mother!"

"I..." Chen Ziran said, but was interrupted by Chen Dazhi, "Okay, I'll talk about it later if I have something to say, let's eat first."

He patted Chen Ziran on the head, sighed softly, "Dad knows it all."

Chen Ziran wiped his eyes vigorously, and followed him into the kitchen.

This Saturday, Liang Roujie cooked two more dishes. In addition to the stewed prawns that Chen Ziying ordered, there was also a stir-fried pork with dried tofu, a pork liver soup with wolfberry, and a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts.

At the dinner table, Chen Ziying reported to her parents the results of her rehearsal at school today, and said that the official performance will be held next week, and both parents must go to see it.

Of course, Chen Dazhi and Liang Roujie are very happy that their daughter is so outstanding. Chen Dazhi laughed and picked up a prawn for Chen Ziying, and said loudly: "How can I, as a father, miss my daughter's performance, okay, you and I Mom must go, Ziying is so good, come, reward the biggest prawn!"

Liang Roujie smiled and scolded him: "You want your daughter to eat the shells? You are a rough man, and you don't know how to peel the shells for the children." She personally helped Chen Ziying peel the shrimp shells, and put the shrimps in her bowl, "Taste quickly Try the prawns made by Mom, are they delicious?"

"It's delicious! My mother's skill is comparable to that of a five-star chef. Can cooking be delicious?"

Liang Roujie was praised to the bottom of her heart by her, and her branches trembled with laughter.

Sitting at the corner of the table, Chen Ziran couldn't participate in their excitement, and ate with a bowl by himself.

The plate of brightly colored prawns made people salivate just looking at them, but Chen Ziran was not tempted, he concentrated on eating the plate of stir-fried bean sprouts in front of him, eating a lot of rice.

The hot rice tasted much better than the cold rice at noon, it was fragrant and soft, and it didn't scratch my throat at all.

"Why do I eat it alone? Sister, you eat too!" Chen Ziying peeled a shrimp and put it in Chen Ziran's rice bowl.

Chen Ziran paused with his chopsticks, looked nervously at his mother's face, put the shrimp back into Chen Ziying's bowl without thinking, and smiled honestly, "Ziying, you've been tired all day, eat it, besides, I don't like it shrimp."

Liang Roujie's complexion improved a lot, she nodded approvingly, and her attitude was finally not as cold and rigid as before.

Chen Ziran was very happy and continued to eat a lot of rice.

She is easy to be satisfied. She is happy when she has cold rice to fill her stomach, and she is satisfied when she has delicious hot rice. Adding bean sprouts with rice is a happy meal. Things that do not belong to her, she does not want to eat. Don't be greedy.

In the past, I didn't dare to ask for extravagance, but now I don't want it.

After dinner, Chen Dazhi watched the news, Liang Roujie went back to the house to watch TV dramas, and did not forget to urge Chen Ziying to review her homework as soon as possible, while Chen Ziran cleaned up the messy table in the kitchen, washing the pots and dishes by the way.

Her hands had a lot of bruises, so they shouldn't be soaked in water, but Chen Ziran was used to this job since she was a child, and she didn't pay much attention to it. She washed the pots and dishes without fuss. When she picked up the plate of braised prawns, Seeing that there was still some soup left at the bottom of the plate, which tasted very fragrant, she hesitated for a moment, and wanted to dip some soup with her fingers to taste the taste, but her mother's words "no shame at all" sounded in her mind, and her hand seemed to be touched by electricity. She retracted as if nothing had happened, and continued to wash the dishes as if nothing had happened.

She doesn't want what doesn't belong to her.

While washing the dishes, Chen Ziran imagined that after she was admitted to university, she would be able to make money by herself. At that time, she could buy herself whatever she wanted to eat and whatever she wanted.

Chen Ziran wants to grow up quickly. By then, she will have a stable job, a lover who cares about her, and if she is lucky, she will have a cute baby.

This is the most fulfilling wish in her life. She made up her mind a long time ago that no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, there should only be one, and she will love him and pet him, give him all her love, and not let him suffer any grievances. (Note)

Without Gu Qiong, Chen Ziran's wish could have come true.

The author has something to say: Note: In Chinese, "he" can also be used to refer to any individual whose gender is unknown.
