The "rival" of rebirth is too domineering

Before he knew it, Shu Baichuan had been living in Chen Haoxuan's house for more than three months.

During this period, Shu Baichuan's father also made a few phone calls to inquire about his academic performance. He neither talked about Shu's mother's death nor asked about Shu Baichuan's current situation.It seems that since Mama Shu's death, even the superficial harmony between father and son can no longer be maintained.Father Shu's tone was much more relaxed, with a hint of fatigue and guilt mixed in, but Shu Baichuan only responded with a cold tone.

Now that his mother has passed away, he has nothing to worry about, Shu Baichuan thought.

Perhaps, because of this, out of some kind of embarrassment and evasion, Father Shu hung up the phone hastily every time.

Regarding this, Shu Baichuan just sneered.

Every month, Chen Haoxuan would accompany Shu Baichuan to the cemetery of Shu's mother.Mama Shu doesn't have many friends, so compared to the few tombstones next door, Mama Shu's place looks very deserted, but her smile in the photo is very bright, with a kind of young girl's youthfulness, always staying in her most beautiful place. age.

This is a photo of Shu's mother when she was young, and Shu Baichuan chose it after a long time.

Once, from a distance, Chen Haoxuan and Shu Baichuan actually discovered that there was a bunch of flowers on Shu's mother's tombstone, and they didn't put it on it.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be a bouquet of daisies.

Shu Baichuan frowned slightly.

"Eh? Who put this bouquet of flowers? It seems that the parents and little sister haven't come here to see it these days..." Chen Haoxuan said in surprise.

Shu Baichuan's eyes were a little cold: "When my mother was young, her favorite flower was daisies."

"Uh... this..." Chen Haoxuan was at a loss for words.

He had a bold idea, but felt a little unbelievable—could it be Father Shu?

Since that man didn't come over on the day of Shu's mother's death, and didn't come on the day of her burial, then why is he coming here now?Reminiscing about his first love?

Just when Chen Haoxuan didn't know what to say, Shu Baichuan walked over indifferently, picked up the daisies, flipped through them, and then, with one hand, threw the bouquet of daisies into the bushes beside the cemetery inside.

Chen Haoxuan walked to Shu Baichuan's side, and patted him on the shoulder as a comfort.

Shu Baichuan smiled back: "It's okay." To him, father is just a pronoun and has no meaning.If it was finally found out that his father had nothing to do with his mother's death, he would still want to let this father go because Shu's father had paid for his mother to take care of his mother in the nursing home in the past few years.

As for Shu Baichuan's living expenses... To be honest, he really didn't use Shu's father for a penny, it was all paid for by his writing.Although Shu's father pays living expenses into his card every month, Shu Baichuan knows that this fee must be "repaid". chess pieces.

Naturally, Shu Baichuan would not accept this deal.

After the final exam is the winter vacation, and soon it will be the time to welcome the new year.

Chen Haoxuan and his family are going back to the countryside for the Spring Festival.Chen Haoxuan's grandfather had passed away long ago, leaving only his grandmother in the countryside.

It was the first time for Shu Baichuan to come to the countryside. Looking at the green and vibrant rice fields in the distance, his mood improved accordingly.

Yes, since Shu's mother passed away, although Shu Baichuan didn't see anything on the surface, he was actually depressed all the time in his heart.His goal was too far away from him, and it was a bit overwhelming for him who was fledgling to fight against such a huge monster.I don't know if I can finally realize my vision and gain real freedom.

In memory of Grandpa Chen, the place where Grandma Chen lives has not been changed much. Walking in through the mottled gate, it seems to have traveled through the corridor of time and returned to the old days.

Grandma Chen was sitting on a rocking chair, wearing a pair of reading glasses, rocking slowly, reading a book and listening to Cantonese opera on the radio.

"Are you here?" Grandma Chen put down her book and looked lovingly at her children and grandchildren.

Although she is nearly eighty years old, Grandma Chen is still sharp and energetic.

"Come on, come here, let grandma take a look..." Grandma Chen waved to Chen Haoxuan and the others, and Chen Haoxuan and Chen Xiaomei obediently walked over.Although Chen Xiaomei is usually naughty and troublesome, she can't help restraining herself when she is in front of Grandma Chen, feeling a little cautious.

Although, Grandma Chen is very kind.

"Eh? That's...?" Grandma Chen saw Shu Baichuan.

"Oh, this kid. He's staying at our house now, and he's Haoxuan's good friend."

"Grandma, my name is Shu Baichuan. I wish you a happy Chinese New Year, and you will be younger and younger." Shu Baichuan walked up and bowed slightly to Grandma Chen.

Grandma Chen nodded: "Good boy."

Shu Baichuan felt that the old man's eyes were sharp, but there was no malice, as if he was only examining his character.

Shu Baichuan still had a smile on his face, and looked at Grandma Chen openly.

Then, Grandma Chen's eyebrows widened, and she patted Shu Baichuan's arm lovingly, expressing her affirmation to him: "This child is good, and he will make great achievements in the future."

"Isn't it?" Chen's mother answered, "A Chuan is much more sensible than the two brats in our family! Unlike them, he patted his buttocks and left after eating, and he knew how to eat without clearing away the dishes and chopsticks." !"

Chen Xiaomei stuck out her tongue.

"Okay, you little ones, go and play. I just need your parents to accompany me and talk." Grandma Chen issued an "amnesty order" to the juniors.

Chen Xiaomei let out a small cheer, and ran out with her ponytail tossing.And Chen Haoxuan also held Shu Baichuan's shoulders, and said to Grandma Chen: "Grandma, let's go."

"Let's go, don't stay here and think my old woman is an eyesore." Grandma Chen waved her hands in disgust.

"Hehe, how come, there are very few old people who can be as energetic as you, grandma. From this point of view, grandma, you are only 50 years old..." Shu Baichuan flattered without blushing.

Grandma Chen laughed haha: "This child has a sweet mouth."

"Grandma, let's go shopping first, and I'll come back later to talk with you." Shu Baichuan said with a smile.

Grandma Chen was soothed by Shu Baichuan's words, she nodded and said, "Go, there is a small orchard next to it, although there are no fruits in this season, you can ask Haoxuan to take you to have a look, there are many kinds of orchards planted in it. There are few flowers, but I have been taking care of them for a long time."

"Okay, thank you grandma." Shu Baichuan nodded slightly.

After walking out, Chen Haoxuan admired Shu Baichuan very much and said, "I always thought grandma was difficult to coax, but I didn't expect that grandma would be coaxed to laugh by you as soon as you step out, Achuan."

"Isn't grandma very kind?"

"Yes. But I don't know why, my little sister and I are a little afraid of her. I'm okay, hehe, you don't know, when I was young, my little sister hid behind my mother when she saw grandma. My mother said with emotion, if my little sister It would be great if my sister could behave like this every day."

"Hehe, I think it might be an aura problem."

"Aura?" Chen Haoxuan's eyes were full of doubts.

"When grandma was young, she must have been an extraordinary person." Shu Baichuan said with certainty.

"Haha, you guessed it right! Let me tell you..."

Next, Chen Haoxuan told Shu Baichuan a bunch of things about Grandma Chen when she was young. At that time, she was really a strange woman.

It turned out that Grandma Chen was a lady from a scholarly family, but she was different from the other sisters in that she didn't yearn for stories about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies.On the contrary, she is familiar with all kinds of military and political books, and has a fanatical admiration and yearning for soldiers, while her father is precisely the one who disdains soldiers the most, thinking they are big bosses and military ruffians!

At this time, Grandpa Chen was discharged from the army due to injury and returned to his hometown. He and Grandma Chen had known each other since they were young, but they lost contact after joining the army.From a distance, Grandma Chen saw Grandpa Chen, who was dressed in military uniform, tall and straight, with a military temperament, coming from the end of the path, and her heart fell.

It was Grandma Chen who first took the initiative to chase Grandpa Chen, making Grandpa Chen, a man with a serious appearance but a dull heart, at a loss for a long time.He did have a crush on Grandma Chen, but the pie fell too fast, making him think he was still dreaming in the army.

The love between Grandma Chen and Grandpa Chen was strongly opposed by her parents.At that time, some places still paid attention to "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker", and there were not a few people who were beaten with sticks.Just when everyone thought that Grandma Chen and the others had to compromise this time, Grandma Chen actually dragged Grandpa Chen along to elope, run away!Almost so angry that Grandma Chen's father smashed a few good antiques in the house.

Of course, after Grandma Chen's father's anger subsided, Grandma Chen still went back to "plead guilty".

Grandma Chen and Grandpa Chen loved each other for most of their lives until Grandpa Chen died of a serious illness.Perhaps it was the root cause of his illness in the army in his early years. Grandpa Chen's body was not healthy all the time, and in the end he only left a son like Father Chen to Grandma Chen.

Many people said that Grandma Chen married the wrong man. After all, with her conditions, what kind of good man can't be found?Even if you have to be a soldier, you can find someone with military merit and potential, which is better than such a sick guy.

Grandma Chen didn't bother to explain to them, as long as she knew her own happiness, what other people's opinions had to do with her?

Grandpa Chen passed away peacefully in Grandma Chen's arms.

After Grandpa Chen's death, many matchmakers approached Grandma Chen and introduced her to remarry. After Grandma Chen chased her away with a broom several times, the front of the door finally returned to calm.

Shu Baichuan smiled and listened to Chen Haoxuan crackling about the history of the Chen family, feeling peaceful in his heart.It suddenly occurred to him that a few years later, when both of them were gray-haired, they would also buy such a small house, plant some fruits and vegetables in the small yard, drink tea during the day and bask in the sun, and listen to songs at night to recall the past. A wonderful thing.

After staying in his hometown for five days, Chen Haoxuan and the others set off for home.Before that, Grandma Chen called Chen Haoxuan and Shu Baichuan to them, and closed the door, blocking Chen's father, Chen's mother, and the others from seeing them.

Grandma Chen first looked at Shu Baichuan quietly for a while, her eyes were calm and her expression was no longer as loving as before.

Shu Baichuan also looked back at Grandma Chen calmly, neither nervous nor flustered, he had roughly figured out what Grandma Chen was looking for them for.For this old man whom he admired from the bottom of his heart, he could only wait for her sentencing first, and then make plans later.

Chen Haoxuan was quite nervous, he secretly clenched his fists, although he didn't know why Grandma Chen would call them in alone.

Suddenly, Grandma Chen smiled, very relieved: "Seeing you, I think of myself when I was young."

"Ah?" Chen Duxiong still couldn't understand what happened, but Shu Baichuan did, and he also smiled, very easily: "Thank you grandma for your success."

Grandma Chen shook her head helplessly: "I thought my old woman was enough to 'shock the world', but I didn't expect you two children to be more powerful than me. Has the times changed? Are you able to accept this kind of feeling?"

Shu Baichuan was very honest: "I know that Xuanzi and Xuanzi will encounter many difficulties in the future, but I have only identified him in my life, so I also hope to receive blessings from my relatives."

Grandma Chen shook her head: "Actually, I'm not very optimistic about the two of you. Two men have no children, and men are not as careful as women. There will be no cushion for bumps in the future, and they will easily collapse. However, these I can also see it in the sky, my grandson has fallen on you, and you are a good boy, I just hope you can figure it out in the future. My old woman will not do the thing of beating mandarin ducks."

Chen Haoxuan finally understood. His grin grew wider and wider. Finally, he couldn't help but gave Grandma Chen a "bear hug", and said excitedly, "Thank you Grandma!!!"

"Ouch! My old bones~" Grandma Chen wailed, and Chen Daxiong let go of her hand embarrassingly.

Shu Baichuan patted Chen Haoxuan's arm amusedly, stepped forward, hugged Grandma Chen gently, and said, "Thank you, Grandma." After letting go, he used his skilled massage skills to relieve Grandma Chen muscles and bones.

Grandma Chen was pressed quite comfortably, and she felt that it would be nice to have a "granddaughter-in-law" like Shu Baichuan, at least she was careful and smart enough.After she felt that it was almost the same, she patted Shu Baichuan's hand and said, "Okay, you and Haoxuan wait here, I'll bring you something."

After speaking, he took out a box from an old cabinet, and when he opened it, there was a delicate jade pendant inside.

"This piece of warm jade was given to me by my father, and it's not a valuable thing. Let's treat it as a gift from me to my granddaughter-in-law now..."

Granddaughter-in-law?Shu Baichuan thought about it in his heart, and thought that "grandson-in-law" would be more appropriate, but it doesn't matter, let the old man be happy.

After saying goodbye to Grandma Chen, Chen Haoxuan and Shu Baichuan finally set off on their way home.

In the car, Chen Haoxuan sneaked a few glances at Shu Baichuan with a smirk.Shu Baichuan raised his eyebrows, tilted his head, and motioned for Chen Haoxuan to explain with his eyes.

Chen Haoxuan scratched his hair: "I feel very happy to be recognized by grandma."

"Yes." Shu Baichuan sighed softly, his tone was very relaxed: "I didn't expect to pass grandma's level so quickly. I thought her old man would be the one that would be the most unacceptable."

"So my grandma is a magical woman." Chen Haoxuan said proudly.

Shu Baichuan secretly held Chen Haoxuan's hand from below, leaned over, and asked, "Grandma Chen said that I am a 'granddaughter-in-law', what do you think?"

"What do you think?" Chen Haoxuan asked in a daze.

"Why do I think it should be 'grandson-in-law'?" Shu Baichuan had a wicked smile on his lips. "How about, let's 'use action' to explore this issue tonight?" He suggested very "sincerely".

Chen Haoxuan's chrysanthemum tightened, feeling that the chrysanthemum crisis that had disappeared for a long time was coming again.He laughed dryly twice, and said, "Ah...Achuan...haven't you thought about this for a long time?"

"Ah! That was when I was in a bad mood before, but I feel much better these days. I think it's better to solve this kind of historical problem earlier, what do you think?"

"This... this..." Chen Haoxuan faltered, wanting to find a topic to divert this matter.However, with his limited bear head, he couldn't escape Shu Fox's palm no matter what.

"It's rare that I'm in a much better mood..." Shu Baichuan lowered his eyes, looking a little "lonely".

Chen Daixiong's heart softened immediately, he raised his head, straightened his chest, and said with a desperate attitude: "Then... let's do it tonight!"

qaq~ In fact, he is so nervous, why not!

Shu Fox smiled triumphantly.

In order to prevent Chen's father and Chen's mother from seeing the clues, they returned to the small villa in Shu Baichuan on the grounds of going to a friend's house to play, and spent a harmonious and beautiful evening.

As for the earth-shattering, pig-killing "bear howl" sound that night... let's consider it the "soundtrack".
