117 Meeting Parents for the Second Time 03

"Still coming in? Grandpa almost fell asleep waiting."

Hearing someone shout, Cheng Chen raised his head.

Looking from a distance, there is a brightly lit house in the depths of the alley. Red lanterns for the New Year are neatly hung at the door, and there are two happy words on the face.

He Yuan, Zhu Lichuan's mother who had seen him once before, stood quietly on the steps, with a decent and gentle smile on her face all the time.

The dim light diffused lightly around He Yuan, casting a gentle halo on her face.

Even in such an old and dilapidated alley, He Yuan's gestures were elegant.

After meeting He Yuan's gaze, Cheng Chen hastily loosened Zhu Lichuan's coat, and took a half step back to the side, using Zhu Lichuan's tall figure to block himself in a panic.

He Yuan smiled and joked, "Children are quite shy."

She walked down the steps, and her high heels made a crisp sound on the green bricks.

The sound is getting louder and the people are getting closer.

Cheng Chen is like a child who has done something wrong, afraid of being discovered by his parents, so nervous that his legs become weak, he repeatedly retreats behind the backer Zhu Lichuan.

He didn't even think about the title, he was afraid that he would call it wrong again.

It is hard to forget the embarrassing meeting in Chongqing last time.

At that time, he and Zhu Lichuan were not together yet, they just went to have a meal together, thinking it was a private date, but unexpectedly Zhu Lichuan's parents were there.Cheng Chen was stunned on the spot, totally unprepared, followed Zhu Lichuan and blurted out 'Mom and Dad', which frightened Zhu Lichuan's parents' faces to black.Later, after Cheng Chen was given a few drinks by He Gu, he was completely drunk, and he didn't know if Zhu Lichuan's parents had gone out to use the bathroom or not.He wished he hadn't come back, otherwise he really didn't leave a good impression on his parents.

"Mom." Zhu Lichuan stretched his hand back, stopping Cheng Chen who had nowhere to hide, "Didn't I tell you to wait for us in the room?"

He Yuan tilted his head and hid behind Zhu Lichuan. He was a little embarrassed to see her daughter-in-law. He didn't expect that the person her son liked would be so shy and timid. He didn't look like someone in the entertainment industry at all. Standing here, seeing you two standing at the alley for a long time," couldn't hide the joy in his words, "What are you talking about? So happy?"

"It's nothing, just show him the traces left when he was a child." Zhu Lichuan took the opportunity to push Cheng Chen in front of He Yuan, "Little friend, my mother asked you a question."

Seeing the faint smile on He Yuan's face, Cheng Chen's face instantly turned red, and he immediately bowed ninety degrees, and shouted respectfully, "Auntie..." The moment he bent down, Cheng Chen's waist was pulled, the place where Cheng Chen was hit Twitching in pain, he maintained a bowing posture and did not dare to raise his head, for fear of being seen with tears in his eyes.

The night was relatively dark, and He Yuan didn't notice Cheng Chen's abnormality, so he gasped in surprise, "Why did you become so unfamiliar after only a few months? Didn't you call my mother earlier?"

Cheng Chen is not very good at dealing with elders, and with a very long reflex arc, he still can't extract from He Yuan's few words whether He Yuan is satisfied or dissatisfied with his address.Like a frightened little animal, he subconsciously grabbed Zhu Lichuan's hand, looking for a sense of security.

Tentatively whispered: "Mom?"

Seeing that He Yuan's face was not right, he changed his words again and again, "Auntie."

"Mom, don't tease him." Zhu Lichuan lifted Cheng Chen's collar to the side like protecting a chick, "He's new here and he's still a little uncomfortable. He was still asking me how to call someone on the road. .”

"Yes," He Yuan sighed intentionally, "Your daughter-in-law has not yet entered the door, and you have begun to dislike my old lady. If I hadn't blocked you, tonight would not be your welcome banquet, but your boy's." Hongmenyan, Grandpa is waiting for you in the living room with a cane, I have brought my words, so please do it."

Cheng Chen thought he was talking about him, panicked, and burst out: "Mom! That...no...Zhu Li...Brother Li didn't despise you!"

He Yuan was amused by Cheng Chen's reaction. Leaving aside his gender, he looked pleasing just by looking at his appearance. He had a soft personality, but he was not as smooth as other people in the circle.

Even she thinks this child is quite cute, no wonder it can make her ruthless son fall in love.

The two are about the same age and are traveling together, so they can take care of each other in normal times.

What's more, as long as they like each other, cherish each other, and support each other through their lives, what reason do their parents have to object?

During the two or three months when he returned to Beijing from Chongqing, He Yuan thought about this question all the time.

At first, she couldn't accept that her son, whom she had raised for 30 years, suddenly came out to her and the child's father, not to mention that the person who came out was an unknown actor whom he hadn't caught up with.

She didn't want to embarrass Zhu Lichuan, so she nodded in front of him, but she was not at ease all the time. While comforting the irritable Zhu Weihai, she also comforted herself, thinking that maybe Zhu Lichuan was just joking, not real , After the freshness, it will return to normal.

So He Yuan never intervened in the relationship between Zhu Lichuan and Cheng Chen, and let them mess around.

In the end, things didn't develop as she had imagined. Zhu Lichuan not only didn't get tired of the ordinary Cheng Chen, but became more concerned.

She had also heard about Cheng Chen.

After hearing the news, she felt sorry for this thin and frail boy from the bottom of her heart.He was kicked out of the house at a young age, and has been sending living expenses to those who abandoned him.The follow-up development made He Yuan even more angry. He was used to the filth of doing business, but he never expected that the dirtiest thing was the human heart. What's more, they were blood relatives. For money interests, he beat him up and pushed his own son into the fire pit.

Fortunately, their family did not get a good reward, otherwise He Yuan might be so angry that he would do it himself.

But heartache is heartache, how can a businessman make a compromise out of sympathy, she trusts that after Cheng Chen's accident, Zhu Lichuan may think that he is a big trouble, so he will get rid of him with money.

The money was taken, but it was not used to drive people away, but to make the beauty smile.

After receiving messages from Zhu Lichuan on WeChat for more than two weeks in a row, He Yuan finally understood that her indifferent and heartless son really fell into it, getting deeper and deeper, and became a Affectionately planted.

Every day I can receive various photos and videos of Cheng Chen, and it is difficult for He Yuan not to compromise.

He Yuan stopped causing psychological pressure to Cheng Chen, turned around, and said, "Let's go, grandpa hasn't eaten dinner yet, so we'll wait for you to come back and eat together."

Zhu Lichuan carried the luggage and walked in front with He Yuan. The two chatted and walked in. He had to pay attention to whether Cheng Chen behind was left behind from time to time.

Passing by the door, Cheng Chen curiously stretched out his hand and fiddled with the lantern tassel twice.

It seemed that he hadn't seen a lantern for a long time.

In their small town, big red lanterns are hung at the door of the house only during Chinese New Year, just to celebrate.But it can only be hung for a while, and you have to take it off after the new year.There is a custom in the countryside that hanging lanterns on weekdays can not be rich and wealthy, which is unlucky.

He has been away from home for many years, and Cheng Chen is quite homely. The only entertainment during the New Year is to watch the Spring Festival Gala in front of the TV. How can he make Spring Festival couplets and lanterns? Just make do with it.

However, the red lanterns are so beautiful.

Cheng Chen stared straight at it, and couldn't help but think.

But why do you still post a happy word?

It happened that Zhu Lichuan asked this question, "Why did you take out the lantern so early this year?"

Hearing Zhu Lichuan's words, He Yuan slowly looked away from Cheng Chen's face, smiled, and deliberately raised his voice, "Isn't it that the two of you are back, and it just so happens that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the New Year is booming, How can there be a red lantern?"

After a while, she asked again: "The second brother Tang's child won't come back this year?"

The second elder brother Tang that He Yuan was talking about was Tang Yi's father, and the person who couldn't go home because of his stubborn temper was naturally Tang Yi.

Tang Yi's father and Zhu Lichuan's father grew up in the alley in the same pair of pants as they had a revolutionary fighting friendship.Zhu Weihai is three years older and calls himself Big Brother Zhu, while Tang Yi's father can only be Tang's second child.Brother Zhu, Brother Tang, Brother Zhu, Brother Tang... Shouting and shouting, each other got used to it, and even the family members started shouting like this.

Zhu Lichuan glanced at the opposite door where the lights were not on, and said with a smile: "Come back, why don't you come back? He also brought a big gift, which will definitely satisfy his father."

Seeing Zhu Lichuan's gloating expression, He Yuan could guess a thing or two, and said helplessly: "You two are 31 after the new year, why are you still acting like a child?"

The two people who were sitting upright in the living room had already noticed the movement outside the door, but neither of them moved, with dark faces, as if they were deliberately showing someone to see.

Zhu Lichuan put his luggage at the door, took Cheng Chen's hand and walked in, shouting: "Grandpa, Dad, I brought him back." The voice was not too loud, just enough for a family of five to hear.

Before they could make a sound, another voice from inside the room sounded first.

"I'm back! I'm back! Ai-sun is back!"

It turned out that Doudou, the parrot raised by Zhu Jianguo, got out of the cage by himself and hovered over the living room, barking non-stop.

Cheng Chen vigorously rubbed his face, which seemed to have no energy, and stood at the door to take a deep breath.

He had never met Zhu Lichuan's grandfather, so he became more nervous for no reason, and couldn't help but want to lick his lips, his palms were sweating all the time, his stomach was not feeling well, and he was gurgling.

Zhu Jianguo was sitting right in front of the door. In fact, he had already seen Zhu Lichuan and Cheng Chen standing behind him with his head bowed.

He coughed, slammed his cane vigorously, and said in a thick voice, "Where is the person? Why didn't I see anyone!"

Cheng Chen poked his head out from behind Zhu Lichuan, and said timidly, "At..."

Zhu Jianguo looked Cheng Chen up and down, then stood up and strode in front of him.

Looking at Grandpa Zhu with a serious face, Cheng Chen felt that he was about to pee his pants in fright, his hands had nowhere to rest, and the draft he had typed rotted in his stomach, so he was so nervous that he couldn't open his mouth to call someone.

Instead, Zhu Jianguo took Cheng Chen's trembling hand first, "Are you the one my good grandson likes?"

Cheng Chen could only nod dully, and hummed lightly.

"Okay." Zhu Jianguo patted Cheng Chen's back, "It's fine if you like it, I think it's fine."

Cheng Chen didn't expect Zhu Jianguo to be so strong, and he almost beat him to the ground with a slap.

Seeing Cheng Chen staggered two steps before he stood still, Zhu Jianguo realized that he might be used to patting Zhu Weihai in normal times, and his hands were not light or heavy, so he quickly reduced his strength and changed to light patting, and his voice was much softer. "Come back with my grandson to celebrate the New Year, yes, he is a good and sensible boy." He took out the hot red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Chen.

Cheng Chen solemnly held up a thick stack of red envelopes with both hands, not knowing whether he should accept it or not, he hurriedly asked Zhu Lichuan who was at the side for help.

Seeing that Cheng Chen was still in a foggy state, Zhu Lichuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, soon?"

Cheng Chen's ears were red, "Thank you...thank you, grandpa."

The old man, who usually cares about two or three cents, was a little embarrassed at the moment. He turned his back and said calmly, "Let's go and eat, old man, I'm so hungry."

And Zhu Weihai, who couldn't say a word from the beginning to the end, looked at the three people who went to the living room for dinner together, and could only drag his wife to complain, "Why did Dad take him away? Didn't I say nothing?"

He Yuan couldn't help but gouged him out, and complained, "What nice things can you say with that mouth?"

The son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren are usually busy, and it is rare to get together. The dinner table is so lively, and the three generations sit together, chatting happily.

Although Cheng Chen was rather timid, in such a warm family atmosphere, he relaxed unconsciously, and he was able to interject a few words from time to time.

Zhu Lichuan kept observing Cheng Chen's expression.

Seeing that he finally smiled, Zhu Lichuan thought to himself, that's great.

It was already one o'clock in the morning after eating, the old man couldn't hold on and went to bed first, and He Yuan and his wife returned to their room early after a few simple explanations.

Zhu Lichuan sent Cheng Chen to the guest room.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Cheng Chen secretly grabbed Zhu Lichuan and whispered, "Come with me..."

"I just chatted so happily with grandpa and the others, I thought the kids had gotten used to it and wouldn't need her husband anymore." Zhu Lichuan joked.

Cheng Chen listened intently to Zhu Jianguo's chat while eating, afraid that when he was mentioned, he would not be able to answer, and he didn't even notice that Zhu Lichuan was serving him food.

Now Zhu Li Chuanqiu came to settle accounts, Cheng Chen knew he was wrong, so he had to use his trump card.

Cheng Chen hugged Zhu Lichuan tightly, raised his aggrieved face, elongated his tone, and said in a low voice: "Husband—sleep with me—is that okay?"

Before he finished speaking, his delicate lips were blocked.

After washing up, Cheng Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, stared blankly at the unfamiliar room, and asked incredulously, "Zhu Lichuan, am I going to celebrate the New Year here too?"

Zhu Lichuan rubbed his soft wet hair, let him sit on his body so that he could dry it off, "This is your home too, if you don't celebrate the New Year here, where do you want to go?"

"My home...home..." Hearing Zhu Lichuan's words, his heart felt sour, his nose and the end of his eyes were a little red, Cheng Chen lowered his head and repeated in a low voice, "My home... I also have a home..."

Zhu Lichuan was caught off guard by Cheng Chen and pushed him down on the bed. A red-eyed little white rabbit slipped into his arms, twitched its furry ears, and rubbed against him aggrievedly.

Zhu Lichuan coaxed softly: "What's the matter?" His tone was gentler than the moonlight outside the window.

"Zhu Lichuan, thank you." Cheng Chen's voice was tearful, ****.

"no need thank me?"

Cheng Chen raised his tear-stained face, bit his lips lightly, and sobbed, "Thank you for giving me a home."
