The rich have an ugly duckling

After the frost, the grass and trees fall, and the weather gets colder day by day. Sometimes when Chen Wu gets up in the morning and opens the window, he can see the hoarfrost falling on the yellow weeds in the dawn sky.

In the late autumn, we need to pay special attention to keeping warm. In addition, Chen Wu needs a lot of nutrition when he is in the third year of high school. The aunt at the apartment starts to cook some nourishing broth for Chen Wu every day. Chen Wu has been drinking it for half a month. Before going to Nancheng I lost a few pounds and regained weight.

Auntie looked at Chen's dark and fleshy cheeks, feeling a sense of pride in raising the child well, she was very happy: "You still look fatter and look better! Drink more, Auntie will continue to cook for you!"

Zhu Jindong also said that Chen Wu looks better if he is fatter. He has a small frame. If he is thinner, he will always have the illusion that he will break if he is pinched. He is still fleshy and looks happy, and he is comfortable to hold.

Chen Wu is really suffering and can't tell. Rao is a person who is not picky anymore, and he can't stand the tonic every day. The weather is dry these days, and Chen Wu still has nosebleeds. Auntie stopped the high-nutrition feeding Activity.

The first day of October is the Cold Clothes Festival.Many people in the north will send warm clothes to their ancestors in the form of sweeping tombs and offering sacrifices on this day, and they can also send winter clothes to their parents and lovers to resist the coming severe cold season.

Zhou Youwei specially called Chen Wu this day and asked him to go to the grave with Zhu Jindong.As for why she called Chen Wu, it was Zhou Youwei's experience summed up after being rejected by Zhu Jindong many times. Anyway, no matter what, as long as Chen Wu agreed, her son would basically not object.

It's very strange to say, if it wasn't for Chen Wu being the boy she watched growing up, she would have thought that Zhu Jindong had married a wife and forgot his mother. I feel so ridiculous that I even eat a child's jealousy.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Wu told Zhu Jindong, her son's voice came over: "No problem, I will take him back with me in a while."

"I really can't help it, I think if I don't call Chen Wu, I won't be able to say a few words to you all year round." Zhou Youwei laughed and scolded.

Zhu Jindong said: "Ms. Zhou, you are usually so busy, and you don't answer when I call you. How can you blame me."

It was rare for the mother and son to talk on the phone, and they talked a few more words before hanging up.

Holding the phone, Zhou Youwei still feels a little emotional, the children have grown up, and she is also getting old.

Seeing Zhou Youwei's rare look of loneliness, Zhu Pengpeng leaned on Zhou Youwei's back and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Did you call brother just now?"

Zhou Youwei glanced at her little daughter who had always been dear to her, and said, "No, it was for your brother Chen Wu. Speaking of which, your brother's white-eyed wolf is not as caring as Chen Wu!"

Zhu Pengpeng sat down next to Zhou Youwei, hugged her mother's arm and said, "Mom, how can you say that about my brother? My brother is your real son, and Chen Wu is not our family. Whose relationship is closer?" , Mom can’t make a mistake.”

Seeing Zhu Pengpeng's serious explanation, Zhou Youwei was a little surprised, but she still followed her daughter's words: "Of course I know this. Isn't this a joke about your brother? But Chen Wu is really good, and I was afraid at the time. Bringing a brat back makes our family feel uneasy, I didn't expect Chen Wu to be so well-behaved, I'm already very satisfied."

Zhu Pengpeng frowned, thinking sarcastically, it was Chen Wu who planted the seeds of disaster in their family. If the scandal between her brother and him was revealed in the future, how could the family be peaceful?She will never allow such a thing to happen!Before mom and dad find out, Chen Wu must be told to go away sensibly.

But she warned Chen Wu repeatedly, but Chen Wu ignored her. It seemed that she was not enough, and she would not listen to her anyway, so she had to resort to other means.

"Mom, do you really think Chen Wu is a very well-behaved person?" Zhu Pengpeng turned his head and asked Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei nodded with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you will be jealous if I say it. If you want me to tell you, Chen Wu is the most filial among you. When you were young, when you brothers and sisters were still sleeping soundly, he knew to leave a lamp for me. , He also said that he will support me to make money in the future, and he always remembers my share of any good things these years, and I am also the first to send blessings on my birthday, you can't compare with your brother!"

Seeing that her mother had such a high opinion of Chen Wu, Zhu Pengpeng felt a little unhappy, and deliberately said with a stern face: "Mom! Who is your daughter? What about the little padded jacket that you agreed to? Besides, to be honest, I don't really care. I like Chen Wu."

Zhou Youwei asked puzzledly: "You don't like Chen Wu? Why? I said why I never saw you take the initiative to talk to him. What's the matter? How did Chen Wu offend you?"

Zhu Pengpeng said dissatisfiedly: "I think my brother dotes on him too much! Since he came to our house, my position in my brother's heart has plummeted, and I can't even compare to him as an outsider! Mom, do you know that when I was in elementary school, I had The second time I fell ill, I lay on the bed and looked at my brother, I wanted him to be by my side to comfort me and take care of me like before, but he turned around and ran to take care of Chen Wu, I lay alone on the bed and cried For a long time, his eyes were swollen, and he didn't even ask me."

Zhou Youwei said in surprise: "Is there still such a thing? But, speaking of it, your brother is really too kind to Chen Wu, and many times he can't even compare to me as a mother." Zhou Youwei also felt a little feel bad.

Thinking about asking them to go home during the Chinese New Year, calling Zhu Jindong so many times but not answering, and Chen Wu agreeing as soon as they called, it is indeed a bit ironic.The son she brought up with one hand actually listens to Chen Wu the most, you can't be ridiculous.

But this matter can not be blamed on Chen Wu, Zhou Youwei can still tell the difference, patted Zhu Pengpeng on the shoulder and said: "It doesn't matter, they grew up together, they are like brothers, I think Chen Wu is also good to you, you As long as there is one more brother, I will be one more son, there is nothing wrong with that."

Zhu Pengpeng was unmoved, and coquettishly said to Zhou Youwei: "I don't want him as a brother! I only have one brother, how can he compare to my brother? Mom, there is one thing I haven't told you all the time, I'm afraid you will know I will blame my brother, but now I think it is better to tell you. Do you know why my brother is suddenly unwilling to study abroad?"

Zhou Youwei has a bad guess in her heart.Zhu Jindong gave up going abroad, even after so many years, it has always been a thorn in Zhou Youwei's heart.

She was born strong, and she had high hopes for her only son. Originally, according to Zhu Jindong's life trajectory, he should have gone abroad to receive a better education, and when he returned from school, whether it was to succeed his father's career or the Zhou Group , she can accept it.But it is such a goal that has been set since childhood, and she gave up overnight for no reason, and she refused to tell him the reason. In Zhou Youwei's view, this is simply a child's play, and it is a manifestation of his irresponsibility for other people's life. A challenge to her mother's authority.

But then Zhu Xueliang persuaded her, and she swallowed reluctantly. Although she still felt a fire in her heart when she thought about it from time to time, two or three years later, Zhu Jindong was about to graduate in China, and it would be useless for her to get angry again.

Now that Zhu Pengpeng mentioned it again, Zhou Youwei's face became serious: "Then why is your brother unwilling to go abroad?"

Zhu Pengpeng smiled sarcastically: "It's not thanks to Chen Wu. My brother regards Chen Wu as his younger brother. If he goes abroad, he will inevitably worry that Chen Wu will be bullied in China. It may be that Chen Wu said something to him. Well, it caused my brother to give up going abroad."

After Zhou Youwei heard the reason, her first reaction was to find it ridiculous and impossible.She thinks she knows her son very well, how could she change his plan for one person?Chen Wu has hands and feet, and he is still living in their Zhu family, so could something unexpected happen?But at the bottom of his heart, he felt that what Zhu Pengpeng said might be true.

Because apart from this reason, she couldn't think of any more reasonable reason for Zhu Jindong to make such a choice.But she never imagined that the importance of Chen Wu in her son's heart has refreshed her cognition time and time again in so many years.

It is said that raising a child will prevent old age, so is she single-handedly raising a son who is facing outsiders?But Zhou Youwei never admits it, she has always known her son's excellence, how could he really be a white-eyed wolf?Although Chen Wu is a good kid, what is it compared to Zhu Jindong?Could it be that she has lost sight of her for so many years, this child actually looks cute, but in fact has a lot of heart, which made her divorce her own son?

Seeing her mother's unsightly face, Zhu Pengpeng actually felt quite uncomfortable, but when she thought about what she just hated about Chen Wu, it was nothing compared to knowing that Chen Wu was in love with her brother.She didn't intend to let Zhou Youwei know the scandal between her brother and Chen Wu, but she needed Zhou Youwei not to feel sorry for Chen Wu.And what I said today is enough, there is no need to say more, sometimes it is just a seed of doubt, which can destroy trust in a person in the end.

When Chen Wu and Zhu Jindong returned to Zhu's house, Aunt Zhang, who hadn't seen him for a long time, brought two sweaters she knitted by herself and handed them to them.Chen Wu's sweater is white, and Zhu Jindong's is black. The patterns are very fresh and look thick. The most important thing is that Aunt Zhang knitted it by herself. Chen Wu likes it very much, and talked with Aunt Zhang for a long time.

Zhou Youwei was sitting in the living room with an ugly expression.Chen Wu greeted her as usual, but she just responded coldly, not as pleasant as before.

Although Chen Wu noticed it, he thought it was Aunt Zhou who was in a bad mood, so he didn't take it seriously, and quietly followed Zhu's family to visit the tomb and worship the ancestors.

But when she returned home during the Chinese New Year, Zhou Youwei's attitude towards him still changed. The previous gentle smile from the elders was replaced by a heavy scrutiny. Only then did Chen Wu realize that Aunt Zhou was not in a bad mood , but that he might have done something wrong to make Aunt Zhou angry.

This is something that has never happened before.Zhou Youwei's position in Chen Wu's heart is very, very important, so seeing Zhou Youwei's expression of dissatisfaction sometimes, Chen Wu felt very sad.

He once suspected that Aunt Zhou knew about his relationship with Zhu Jindong, but was overturned again.If Aunt Zhou knew about it, she shouldn't have such a reaction.

But he couldn't think of any other reason, he was thinking wildly all day long, and the sense of guilt in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.Is it wrong for him to be with Zhu Jindong?

The problem that he had been avoiding all this time was put before him again, and Chen Wu found that he still couldn't face it squarely.As long as he thinks of Zhou Youwei's disappointment in him, he will feel a sharp pain in his heart.He was really afraid of Zhou Youwei's possible harm to her after knowing this, he couldn't imagine it.

Zhu Jindong soon discovered that something was wrong with Chen Wu. At first he thought that he was too nervous about the college entrance examination, but later found out that he was not.He called Chen Wu to his side and questioned him thoroughly, but Chen Wu never thought about hiding his uneasiness from him.

Zhu Jindong hugged Chen Wu tightly and said: "Don't think so much, my mother is far stronger than you imagined. She will definitely be dissatisfied and sad when we are together, but you have to believe that it is only temporary, more What's more, there is nothing wrong with us being together except against her wishes."

A wry smile appeared on Chen Wu's face.Sometimes when you are not in that position, the embarrassment in your heart can never be imagined by others, even the closest lover.He is like a prisoner waiting for the death penalty, enjoying his last spring in prison, joy entwined with despair, and the following spring, summer, autumn and winter are destined to miss him.
