bamboo horse long time no see

The two didn't talk about anything that night, and went home separately.

On the next Sunday, Xu Chetong didn't stay at home to rest, but went to see his parents to see if he could help.

In Xu Chetong's view, the past is over, and there is no need for him to be angry with his parents now.

It was just after noon when I arrived at my hometown, and my father said that such a big man came over to grab a meal.

Xu's mother said: "I would like to let my son come and rub."

When the whole family sat together for lunch, Xu Chetong could feel the harmonious and beautiful atmosphere. No wonder Wei Nan said he was envious yesterday.

After dinner, Xu's father went to take a nap. Xu Chetong heard his mother complain that his father didn't wake up until ten o'clock in the morning.

Xu Chetong followed his mother and helped her tidy up the house.

He wanted to laugh at himself a little bit, since his attitude was so cold before his parents went abroad, it was only after losing them that he knew how to cherish them.

At this time, Mother Xu asked, "Tongtong, how have you been these few years?"

Xu Chetong paused, and muttered, "I'm still called this nickname at this age..."

Xu's mother narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Then you are also my Tongtong."

Xu Chetong was obviously happy, and said, "It's been okay for the past few years, but the efficiency of the department has not been very good. It has been tepid for three years, and recently...it's better."

"Is it because of Young Master Wei?" Mother Xu said softly, "I was quite surprised when I heard that Young Master Wei returned to China to be your leader..."

Hearing that the topic seemed to bring up the past, Xu Chetong quickly said, "It's nothing, it's good that he came back. In just six months, my salary has been raised twice. It's because of his credit."

Thinking of something, Mother Xu suddenly turned her head and looked at Xu Chetong, her eyes seemed to express a little too much.

Xu Chetong was afraid that his mother would find out something, so he quickly said: "It's just that I'm too busy. The previous supervisors didn't care much, and the last one was arrested for violating the law. The department's performance is poor and the salary is less. , Now several projects have turned around in the past half a year, and the ratings given by the head office before are quite good..."

Mother Xu smiled and listened to him, and nodded in agreement, "Master Wei is really amazing."

Xu Chetong pursed his lips, he was right, he was indeed very powerful, and he was very capable. He was able to save these terrible projects and bring them back to life, which is enough to show his ability.

"It's just..." Xu Chetong said, "Don't call him the young master here, it's the Wei family...isn't it just like that..."

Mother Xu said: "But no matter what, the young master is still the young master."

Xu Chetong looked away, because of the relationship between the previous generation of the Xu family and the Wei family, or even the two previous generations, it was understandable to call him young master.

Back then, the Wei family also said that even though they were still employed at work, they were equal.

In Xu Chetong's generation, he has never really felt the difference between the young master and the young master. He and Wei Nan regarded each other as neighbors since they were young, and it was only after they grew up that they gradually realized the difference between the two families.

Because of this, Xu Chetong admitted that he felt a little inferior to Wei Nan in his heart, but it was also an immature thought when he was young.

Now when he looked at Wei Nan, it was nothing more than his boss, nothing more.

Seeing that Xu Chetong was silent, Xu's mother turned around and picked up the air conditioner that she just found out of the closet yesterday and was taken to the balcony, as if she was leading Xu Chetong to follow them, whispering to each other on the small balcony.

Xu Chetong helped his mother hang the quilt on the drying rack, and heard his mother sighing faintly.

"Tongtong, I'm sorry." Mother Xu said suddenly, "I heard everything you said yesterday."

Xu Chetong's hands and feet were suddenly cold, and he didn't dare to look at his mother, and said, "Oh, what, this is actually..."

"I'm sorry." Mother Xu said, "This sorry should have been told to you long ago."

Xu Chetong was stunned for a moment, feeling sore in his heart, and said, "No need, why are you apologizing to me, Mom?"

Xu's mother shook her head, "Listen to me, we were immature and incompetent parents back then, so we took it for granted to deal with some problems, always thinking that what we did was correct, and you as juniors should listen to us, and you can't do it. complain."

Xu Chetong's lips were drawn into a line, already aware of what his mother wanted to say.

Xu's mother continued: "It wasn't until after we went abroad that we saw and experienced some things that we realized how sloppy our actions were back then. In the past few years, I have also been reflecting on myself. If we had acted more moderately at that time, maybe we wouldn't have done it. become what it is today.”

Xu Chetong said softly: "Mom, I don't care anymore, so don't worry about it either."

Mother Xu smiled and shook her head, "I've been a little scared these past few years. I told you on the phone that I couldn't see your face. I don't know what you will think. I can only wait until I return to China. Thank you for being able to come back early this time. Young Master Wei's help. When I heard what you said yesterday, I feel even more sorry."

"Mom, don't think about it." Xu Chetong walked up to hug his mother, "I'm fine."

Xu's mother patted him on the back and said: "I was timid back then, and I was afraid that I couldn't teach you well. When I heard others say that wind is rain, I always hope that you will always be the little one when I was a child, and I would chase after butterflies when I saw them. The little boy who laughs when he sees the pretty lady next door..."

Xu Chetong coughed dryly, "Mom..."

When the two of them talked, there was no gap between the mother and the child, it disappeared, and there was nothing to hide if there were more words.

But the more Xu Chetong listened to it, the more he felt that there was a problem, and he always felt that the details in his mother's words were a bit wrong.

Mother Xu suddenly smiled and asked him, "Speaking of which, do you like men? I mean, do you like Young Master Wei?"

Suddenly Xu Chetong became dizzy and his blood surged up.

It was really embarrassing to ask this question, and to ask Wei Nan, so he hurriedly said, "Mom, why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

Xu's mother blinked, "We are not old and stubborn. We heard that you were a bad boy and wanted to run away from home and go abroad. Now that my son is so good, I don't talk about the past. What about the future? Do you like him? ah?"

"Huh?" Xu Chetong was stunned for a moment, "Didn't I..."

It seemed that things back then were really different from what Xu Chetong remembered.

At that time, he wanted to go abroad because he liked Wei Nan and wanted to stay with him.

But Wei Nan's mother took the initiative to come over to sing bad faces in the name of his parents.

He still remembered that Wei's mother exposed his thoughts on the spot, and said that as parents, they would firmly disagree with such things.

But as for why Wei's mother said it, it was just because Xu Chetong's parents were embarrassed to say these things in front of their son, so they came to persuade him.

Xu Chetong really thought that his parents knew all these reasons, and in the next few years he also poured these emotions on his parents as a vent.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

It's no wonder that Xu Chetong always felt that his parents' attitude towards him was different from what Wei's mother said.

As for the reason his mother just said, Xu Chetong had never heard of it.

When he asked again, he realized that his parents only knew that he was rebellious, learned, disobedient to discipline, and wanted to run away from home and away from them.

Moreover, they heard these words from Wei's mother, which really frightened them at that time.

Right now, when Xu's mother heard Xu Chetong's explanation, her face also changed.

She said that they didn't realize something was wrong until Xu Chetong failed to go abroad.

Even if Xu Chetong lives on campus on weekdays, he still looks obedient when he returns home. How could he be rebellious?

But they had too little communication with Xu Chetong at that time, and they still heard Wei Nan's mother say a lot, so they had no reason to doubt it.

Now that I think about it, the "rebellion" that Wei Nan's mother said was just that Xu Chetong liked men and fell in love with her son.

How normal is it to like men?

"Why did we think you were rebellious back then? You have been so obedient since you were a child..." Mother Xu became more and more sad as she spoke, "We misunderstood you."

"It's not that you misunderstood." Xu Chetong persuaded a few words, thinking that this is also a thing of the past.

Mother Xu blinked and said, "Son, I won't keep you for dinner tonight. You should go back to rest early. Mom will find a way to explain to you what happened in the past!"

"Oh..." Xu Chetong nodded, but he didn't understand what his mother meant.
