Seven's secret

As soon as Pei Rong entered the door, he saw Mr. Pei sitting leisurely on the sofa and reading the newspaper. There were two cold dishes on the dining table, and his parents were arguing in the kitchen, which was mixed with Aunt Fang's helpless persuasion.

Pei Rong poked his head around to look twice, squeezed to sit next to Mr. Pei, and squeezed Mr. Pei's shoulders pretendingly, "What's going on? The two of them are going to quarrel, and you're still so calm?"

Mr. Pei glanced at him sideways and snorted.

Pei Rong pretended not to understand his face, and said with a smile: "Oh, I don't know what these two people are arguing about. If you want to quarrel, find a good place. They are all crowded in the kitchen to interfere with Aunt Fang. When can we have dinner? "He shrugged his nose, "It seems that there are stewed ribs, I don't know if they are cooked yet?"

Mr. Pei couldn't bear it anymore, and knocked him on the head with the newspaper in his hand, "You still have the face to mention stewed ribs! It's not all because of you brat!"

Pei Rong dodged neatly, and reached out to touch his unshaven chin, "I'm already like this, and you still have the nerve to bully me? This is too disrespectful."

Old Pei couldn't help but look at him more.

Ever since Pei Rong made up his mind to act out the drama of the failure of his secret love to the end, he has become unkempt. He doesn't shave his beard, his clothes are wrinkled, and he always looks very haggard.Although Mr. Pei was not sure about Xiao Qi's attitude, he could tell that Pei Rong was competing with his parents.Apart from sighing secretly, she didn't jump out to expose him.After all, he knew Pei Rong's character, and if this matter persisted, his relationship with his parents would only deteriorate in an all-round way.His parents' vacation is coming to an end, and they may not see each other for several years. If they break up this time, they will not contact each other for a few more years...the thin family relationship between each other will still be left How much do you want?

Mr. Pei is already in his 70s, and he absolutely doesn't want to see his son and grandson quarreling like that.As for the fact that the granddaughter-in-law may be a man... Didn't the ancients also say that the lesser of two evils?

Dad Pei came out with his hands shaken, seeing Pei Rong talking next to Mr. Pei, with a smile on his face and a reckless look, his heart was full of mixed feelings.He is not only a failed father, but also a failed son.His father's hair is gray, how much time does he spend with the old man?I didn't bring the water for washing my feet a few times.The old man has a headache, isn't this kid Pei Rong worried about?

Dad Pei stood at the door of the kitchen in a daze for a while, and suddenly felt that if the couple hadn't come back, would Mr. Pei be more tolerant than them when facing these things alone?Mr. Pei thinks more about the problem from the perspective of loving the children, but the couple look at Pei Rong's personal problems from a critical perspective.So Pei Rong acted like a baby with Pei Lao, but played tricks with both of them cynically.

Essentially, Pei Rong didn't trust the two of them.This realization made Dad Pei suddenly feel lost, but the fact is true: his son did not believe that as parents, they would understand him, so he was unwilling to be open and honest from the very beginning.

"That's the end of this matter," Dad Pei suddenly said loudly: "From now on, we won't discuss Xiao Rong's private affairs at home anymore. He is such an adult, what's the point of talking about finding friends every day?! No matter who you are looking for, From now on, let’s listen if you like to talk, and don’t ask if you don’t like to talk!”

The two people on the sofa didn't expect him to say such a word out of nowhere, and they were all startled.Before the two of them came back to their senses, they heard a bang in the kitchen and the porcelain fell to the ground.Mother Pei's voice was out of tune, "Say it again!"

Dad Pei shouted sharply: "I said my son can find whoever he likes! He has this freedom!"

Everyone in the room was silent, and they were all overwhelmed by Dad Pei's sudden burst of domineering.

Pei Rong's paws were still resting on Old Pei's shoulders, and he looked at his mighty father in a daze.Mr. Pei was also a little dumbfounded. His son had a resolute personality, but he was always gentle in dealing with things. He had never seen him yell at anyone so loudly.As for Pei's mother... she was probably the one who was most surprised.The image of the gentle and generous husband in her impression was instantly subverted.Something is wrong with the son, and something is wrong with the husband.

What's wrong with this world? !

Dad Pei seems to be asking himself, and also like asking Mom Pei, "If the child is doing something wrong now, where are we two before his concept has formed and can be corrected? Now he has missed the opportunity to correct him. What's the use of jumping feet? Are you really jumping into the lake to hang for him?! Colonel Zhang, let me ask you a question, do you really want to use the military tactics of the enemy's advance and retreat on your own son?!"

Mother Pei covered her mouth and ran back to her room.

Pei Rong looked at her stupidly, "My mother, she..."

Dad Pei glared at him, but his tone was calmer than before, "Let her calm down. Wash her hands! It's time to eat!"

Pei Rong obediently got up to wash his hands. When he came back, he heard his father say to his grandfather: "She reacted so violently to Xiao Rong's incident, but it was largely because of self-blame—she felt that she had neglected her duty. She didn't do her best." As a mother's parenting responsibility, so the child has such and such problems. To put it bluntly, she just can't tolerate her own mistakes."

Pei Rong stopped in his tracks.

Mr. Pei sighed and said, "Raising children is not about planting soybeans. If you sprinkle a handful of seeds, only soybean seedlings will grow. As the saying goes, one kind of rice raises all kinds of people. Talk to her carefully, and don't compete with yourself. gone."

Papa Pei agreed in a low voice.

Mr. Pei said again: "Besides, I don't think Xiao Rong is bad. This kid really has to break it down one by one, and there is no one that is inferior to others. Let's be content."

Papa Pei sighed.

Pei Rong shook his hand, thinking that this matter could finally come to an end.

Mother Pei didn't come out of the room until the performance of "News Network" was almost over. Her eyes were still red and swollen, but her expression had returned to calm.

Pei Rong was frightened by the quarrel between his parents today. When he saw his mother coming out, he stood up like a dog and asked her, "Are you hungry? I'll make you a hot meal. My dad gave Aunt Fang the stewed ribs." You left a big bowl, it's delicious." Seeing Mama Pei nodding, he quickly got up and ran to the kitchen.Maybe the two officers would continue to quarrel, but he didn't want to be caught in it as cannon fodder.

But to his surprise, until he brought out all the meals, the living room was still peaceful.

Pei Rong raised his eyebrows, his mother's reaction was really weird.He had expected her to say something more.His mother is not the kind of virtuous little daughter-in-law who can do whatever the man in the family says.

Mother Pei lowered her head to eat, and as she ate, her eye circles became red again.

"Mom," Pei Rong couldn't help it anymore, "It's not good to cry while eating, it affects digestion."

Mother Pei sobbed, "Xiao Rong, mom is just... If mom sees you going astray but doesn't care, she will feel that she has not fulfilled her responsibility as a mother."

On the sofa not far away, Dad Pei glanced at her, but didn't make a sound.

Pei Rong said in his heart that he's coming, and finally he's here.

He sat upright on the chair and nodded solemnly, "I understand what you said. But you can't just expand the scope of the so-called 'wrong way', right? Everything you don't like is crooked? Only you decide What is right? You don’t think your old man is the truth, do you, Mom?”

It was this problem that troubled Mother Pei.

"Everyone's standards are different. You can't use your standards to demand everyone. I also have my own standards. For example, when I perform tasks, I must believe in myself and not be easily disturbed by other people's ideas. Judgment." Pei Rong picked up a piece of pork ribs for his mother, "Eat more meat, I think it will definitely taste better than the ones made by the master chefs in your cafeteria."

Mother Pei was silent for a while, her expression a little downcast, "So I also want to understand. The two of us have different principles, and in the end, it can only be whoever decides."

Pei Rong froze for a moment, then looked at her in disbelief, "Mom?!"

Mother Pei ignored him and ate her meal with her head down.Sitting opposite her, Pei Rong felt happy for a while, and suspected that he was hallucinating just now, and was somewhat uneasy.Seeing Pei Rong's frizzy look, Mother Pei suddenly felt that the two of them had been back for half a month, and only today, Pei Rong's behavior was really childish.

"Okay, okay, don't hang around me," Pei's mother was dizzy when he turned her head, "Where should I get out of here, don't hinder my mother from eating." If I make up my mind, I won't struggle again and again, but I was a little upset before, so I was immediately annoyed when my son surrounded the front and back with a shy face.

Pei Rong obediently returned to his father's side, held it back for a while, and lowered his voice to ask his father, "What did my mother just say mean that she won't interfere with me in the future?"

Papa Pei glanced at him, but said nothing.

Mr. Pei couldn't stand it anymore, "Do you look like a father?"

Dad Pei reluctantly put down the remote control in his hand, "Yes, that's what she meant. Satisfied?"

Pei Rong nodded without straining, and smiled.

Dad Pei suddenly felt that his son was so stupid... he couldn't bear to look directly at him.

Mr. Pei snorted, snatched the remote control from his son, and started looking for the programs he liked to watch.

Pei Rong really felt like seeing the moon through the clouds at the moment. Sitting on the sofa, he couldn't sit still. He always wanted to stand up, but he didn't know what to do when he stood up.After enjoying myself for a while, I simply ran to the kitchen to make tea and wash fruits for everyone.

Pei's father and Pei's mother looked at each other and smiled wryly.

Mr. Pei glanced at the two people with similar expressions, "The children and grandchildren each have their own children and grandchildren. Think about it. My son only comes home once in a few years, and he never sees each other all year round. I can't even count on buying a bag of rice. Who did you complain to?"

Papa Pei, "..."

Is this really comforting him?

Old Pei turned around and asked Pei Rong, "Have you looked for Xiaoqi recently?"

"I've looked for it." Pei Rong replied solemnly: "But it's not for personal matters. Some time ago, someone went to his shop to provoke troubles and almost smashed his shop. Xiao Qi had no choice but to call the police."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Mr. Pei suddenly became nervous, "How is it now?"

Pei's father and mother also looked at Pei Rong.Pei Rongting helplessly spread his hands, "The troublemaker is the hooligan on the other side of Beitiao Street, that kind of person... You also know that there are people who get paid out of it, and this is not enough to be sentenced. What else can I do? Consider yourself unlucky, and be careful everywhere in the future."

Mr. Pei's eyebrows immediately frowned, "What about the banker? Didn't you say that the third young master of the banker also owns shares? Why didn't they express their opinion?"

Xiao Qi didn't say what the dealer's attitude was, and Pei Rong really didn't know.

Mr. Pei pondered for a while with a sullen face, "No way. How can I escape smoothly after messing with that kind of ruffian? Maybe something will happen in the future. I will go to Director Chen later."

Pei Rongqi asked, "Is Grandpa Chen still in charge of the underworld?" That old man used to be the dean of Pei's old school, and he looked upright, unexpectedly...

Mr. Pei glared at him, "Old Chen, the underworld, can't be controlled, but he has friendship with the old man of the Zhuang family. I have to let him talk to the old man Zhuang. If someone finds him in the store to make trouble, isn't it Slap the dealer in the face? Although the old man Zhuang is not familiar with me, I know that he is the most competitive person. I don't believe he can remain indifferent."

Pei Rong nodded, "That's a way. If the banker is willing to show up, Xiao Qi will be safer." After all, those who join the underworld are not fools.Compared with ordinary people, their ability to assess the situation is even stronger.They know who they can mess with and who they can't.

Mom Pei and Dad Pei exchanged another look: Do you want to take advantage of the time in Binhai to get to know your son's sweetheart?

Mother Pei coughed, "Bring Xiaoqi back for dinner someday." Seeing her son's immediately alert expression, she added helplessly: "Give us a chance to get to know him positively, rather than sneaking out to inquire about him." OK?"

Pei Rong pondered for a while, and then reluctantly compromised, "That's fine. But you can't scare him."

Papa Pei, "..."

Mother Pei, "..."

Practice has proved that the conclusions of the ancestors are all reasonable.Mother Pei thought sadly, this brat really has a wife and forgets his mother!
