Chapter 2 Back to the old house

She got into the car and started the car quietly, silent all the way

Liu Lubei looked at his mother's face, wanted to find some topic but didn't dare to speak

I wondered if I was too much, but he thought that he could have close contact with his mother and even went home with her, and he felt that everything was worth it.

Taking a deep breath, he quietly looked at his mother's side face and spoke carefully, Mom, I did something wrong, don't be angry?

He was whispering softly, and he was not as cruel as he was holding a stool in school.

She Yi was concentrating on driving, staring at the road without blinking

Liu Lubei, who had not received a response, swallowed and moved his mouth. He wanted to open his mouth but didn't know what to say. After apologizing, his mother did not react at all.

If she scolds herself, she can still pretend to be wronged and make her mother soft-hearted

Taking the opportunity to forgive myself, but my mother didn't say a word. He was extremely nervous now and his mind was messy. He was afraid that he would waste his hard-earned opportunities.

This kind of worry defeats reason. Mom, this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. I promise that I will study hard in the future, unite with my classmates, and never cause trouble for you again. Don’t be angry, okay?

Still silent

Liu Lubei's heart became heavier and he didn't even notice that the warmth in his eyes was slowly freezing, and it seemed as if he was hatred. If his parents hadn't complained in front of the teacher, his mother wouldn't have been so angry that she ignored him.

He sat on the passenger seat, his body gradually became tighter

She Yi listened to her usual taciturn son sitting in the passenger seat and admitting his mistakes. The more sincere his tone, the more sad he felt.

The bitterness in her heart hit her eyes along the blood. She began to feel a little blurred in front of her eyes, and then a chill on her face

When she cried, Liu Lubei was completely panicked. Mom, don’t cry, I know I was wrong. Really, don’t cry, don’t cry anymore...

She Yi tweeted out the hand on the steering wheel, touched tears, turned on the turn signal, parked the car on the side of the road, and expressed his thoughts: Xiaobei

Liu Lubei's mood turned clear, he unbuttoned his seat belt, looked at her side, and responded with a nod.

She stared at the front, and in her sight, a mother and daughter had just bought things from the supermarket and planned to go home.

The daughter held her mother's arm, and the two of them were smiling and wondering what they were saying. The intimate atmosphere between them made her stronger her mind.

She untied her seat belt, pushed the scattered hair in her ears to the back of her ears, and said earnestly: Xiaobei, your teacher has talked to me a lot, I...

Think about the behavior of the son who just told me about the head teacher, fighting, being late, and skipping classes...

I didn't know anything about such violations of discipline. If this continues, he is already in his second year of high school and will take the college entrance examination for one and a half years. If he doesn't take good care of him, he will have no future.

I thought about it, would you like to live with my mother? She Yi spoke with difficulty

Liu Lubei's hands were clenched into fists, he lowered his head to hide his emotions, and the corners of his mouth were uncontrollably cracked. He really didn't expect such a surprise. His heart was trembling happily, he licked his dry lips, pressed the pleasure that rushed to his throat back, and lived home? Where did grandpa?

When She heard that her son had signs of relief, she felt relieved: I will go and say, it depends on you now, do you want to go over?

Liu Lubei pinched his palm tightly, raised his head again, as if he had made a major decision, pursed his lips, yes

Asked with affirmative answer, She Yi's mood that had been raining finally improved a little. She rubbed her son's head and drove the car to the old house again.

After driving the car to the old house, he saw Liu Zhongyi standing at the door and making a phone call. Seeing their figures, he didn't know what he said, so he hung up the phone in a hurry.

When they approached, when Liu Lubei said hello and was about to go in, She Yi said: Xiaobei, go in first, I have something to tell your uncle.

The words were said to his son, but he didn't look at him, and he looked straight at Liu Zhongyi

Liu Lubei looked at his uncle deeply, didn't say anything, went in obediently

She Yi waited for his son to disappear, and was sure that he could not hear what he said, so he spoke: Thank you, for helping me deal with the matter of Xiaobei School. Over the years, he has been violating discipline. I don’t know anything. I only care about living happily alone and not fulfilling my mother’s responsibilities.

Speaking of this, she was a little sad again, sniffing and speaking with a strong tone: He must have caused you a lot of trouble, but he won't know how to do it in the future

After saying that, he ignored his reaction and turned around and went in

Liu Zhongyi frowned by the sarcasm in her tone. Without waiting for him to reply, She Yi stepped on his high heels and left.

When she went in, she saw Liu's mother trimming branches in the living room. She smiled and said hello, calling her mother. Liu's mother put down the scissors in her hand and put her eyes on the potted plant and asked: Why are you back so early today? I asked Xiaobei just now, but he didn't say it clearly.

She Yixiaoxiao, Xiaobei felt a little uncomfortable, so I picked him up first, right? Mom, is Dad at home?

Liu's mother patted the fallen petals and leaves on her body, feeling a little anxious. Discomfort? Where is it uncomfortable? Wasn't she okay when she went to school? I went to see Xiaobei and asked her mother to call the doctor over to see what was going on.

While talking, she walked towards Liu Lubei's bedroom. She frowned and asked again: Mom, is Dad at home? I want to discuss something with Dad.

Liu's mother obviously didn't care much about what she said. She was all about her own baby grandson. She was in the study. She took a deep breath and organized her language to go upstairs and knock on the door to welcome the storm.

After she finished talking about her idea of ​​picking Xiaobei back to live, unexpectedly, Liu's father agreed readily, just reminding her to tell her mother well.

She Yi suddenly had a headache when she thought of this. She saw Liu's mother's care and love for Xiaobei. She was originally a relative of her generation, not to mention that Xiaobei grew up under Liu's mother's nose since she was a child. She pulled a five or six-year-old child into a handsome young man now. The bitterness and feelings she paid were much more than her mother.

Uneasy, when lunch came, Zhang's mother put the food one by one. She Yi sat on the right side of Xiaobei, and Liu's mother sat on the left side of Xiaobei. She watched Liu's mother pick up food for Xiaobei, a shrimp, a chopstick and egg. It was not easy to get enough. The bowl in front of him had already pointed. While picking up the food, he muttered: Xiaobei, eat more shrimp. I asked the doctor just now, and he said that you need nutrition at your age, and you are not feeling well now. You can't eat too greasy. But this is a calcium supplement. You can eat more.

Liu Lubei nodded obediently, thank you grandma

She Yi looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't open her mouth, but when she thought about her son's condition, she instantly felt sorry for her. Mom, I want to discuss something with you.

Liu's mother started to give Liu Lubei the soup again. Drink more soup. I specially stewed black chicken and chestnut soup in the kitchen. You can drink more.

She Yi felt a little uncomfortable, Mom

Liu's mother looked at her and found that her bowl had basically not been moved much. She asked indifferently: Is the food not suitable for her taste?

She Yi put down the chopsticks and smiled dryly: No, mom, the food is delicious, just...

Liu's mother slowly chewed the food in her mouth and swallowed it before she replied to her: Since it's not unpleasant, then eat first, and wait until the meal is over before talking.

A gentle tone, elegant posture, and a very polite manner

Seeing the cold treatment of his mother, Liu Lubei's mouth sank, silently pushing the soup bowl in front of him

Liu Zhongyi, who was drinking soup opposite, couldn't help but speak: Mom, otherwise you should listen first... Before he finished speaking, Liu's mother looked over, without saying anything, without saying anything

A meal is bland and tasteless

After dinner, Zhang's mother cleaned the table quietly, and Liu's father took the cup and went to the study silently. Liu Zhongyi happened to call and went upstairs to answer the phone. For a moment, the three of them were left in the huge restaurant.

She Yi was very worried. When she took the time to wash her hands, she saw Liu's mother sitting on the sofa. Xiaobei rarely sat with her and watched TV.

She took an orange in her hand, peeled it, and handed it to Liu's mother, mom, eat an orange

Liu's mother refused, just after dinner. Liu Lubei looked at her mother's awkward expression and felt a little distressed. She took the orange from her mother. Grandma, what are you going to eat? The fruits are just getting tired of it after the meal.

Liu's mother took it with a smile, her face was not blushing, her heart was not beating: OK, Xiaobei is still sensible

She Yi, who was peeling oranges next to her, was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Looking at the scene of the harmonious coexistence of grandparents and grandchildren in front of her, after a few minutes, she smiled and said: Mom, look, Xiaobei has also made you and dad work hard at home for so long. He is about to be in the third year of high school. His study will definitely become tighter and tighter, and the pressure he faces is getting bigger and bigger. I thought, otherwise he would let him go back and live with me, so that you and dad will worry about his affairs.

When Liu's mother heard her words, she ate oranges and slapped her.

She Yi continued: I just talked to his class teacher, and the teacher also said that Xiaobei is actually in adolescence and is more sensitive. I think he has been relying on the care of you and your father before. You and your father have worked hard for so many years, and I have never fulfilled my mother's responsibilities and missed his childhood and youth. Now he is an important moment in his life, and I want to accompany him well.

Liu's mother sat upright on the sofa, patted the non-existent gray on her body, and then she looked at her daughter-in-law: Do you still know that she is a mother?

She Yi touched the broken hair in his ear uncomfortable, so smart that he didn't say anything.

Liu's mother's tone is calm and her speaking speed is neither fast nor slow. But every word is ridiculed: You left Xiaobei alone at the age of six. He is still so young. Douding's older child, why don't you say to accompany him? He had a fever at night and was so burning that he didn't know what to do. He was like a cooked shrimp, curled up on the bed, only crying and calling her mother, why don't you say to accompany him? As soon as you left, it was raining, he was wearing a thin coat alone, looking for you regardless of it. When we found him, he was soaked all over and cold as ice. Where would you be? Did you ever think of yourself as a mother?

She Yi was forced to throw away her armor by Liu's mother's question, but she was unable to refute her. When she was missing her son one by one, she was said by Liu's mother. Her heart seemed to be missing a hole. She was shaved blood by these words, but she was more guilty and heartache for her son.

Before she knew it, she was already crying, looking at her son sitting on the sofa with tears in her eyes. The more painful she felt in her heart, the more regretful she had not insisted at that time.

Liu Lubei didn't have much insight when he heard his grandmother talk about the past, but he just watched She Yi start to shed tears again. The tears fell down in strings like beads with broken threads, and began to feel uncontrollably.

He leaned his waist and pulled out tissue from the table, squatted in front of She Yi and wiped her tears, and his tone was cold: Grandma, don't say that to mother, but he looked like he was acting cute, and Liu's mother didn't take it seriously either

Tears seemed to be wiped out, flowing all the time, and the fingers holding the tissue were eroded by the transparent liquid drop by drop, making his heart soft

Liu Lubei simply put the tissue box on his legs and looked up to comfort her: It's all over, mom, everything is all over.

She couldn't help but cry loudly, Sorry, it's all my fault, I'm sorry, I only now know how excessive it was for me to let you go, I'm sorry, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

When Liu Zhongyi answered the phone and handled the company's affairs, he saw such a scene. She Yi sat on the sofa, covering her face and crying so hard that she couldn't help herself. Xiaobei squatted in front of her, hugging and comforting her. Her mother's eyes were also a little wet, but her eyes were still arrogant.

Liu Zhongyi didn't know what happened after he called, so he stood silently at the entrance of the stairs without saying a word.

Liu's mother took a sip of water and was not too slow: You said you would take Xiaobei back now? I feel that I am in my senior year of high school and the study pressure is high. Have you ever thought about whether changing the environment for him now will affect his condition?

Liu Lubei wiped his tears and continued to say: Grandma, I have discussed with my mother and want to go back. I have been here since I was a child. You and my grandfather have been taking care of me for so many years. Thank you for your hard work for so long. The school teacher just felt that my condition was not very good recently. My mother and I thought it would be better to go back and live.

Liu's mother looked at She Yi with red eyes beside her. Her baby grandson squatted on the ground, with a handsome little face, and she couldn't say anything she refused, but she didn't want to agree to She Yi's request so easily, so she was silent and didn't speak.

She thought about her son and the teacher's words, and mustered up the courage to speak: Mom, I know these things are a bit sudden, but I really want Xiaobei to go back with me

In fact, there is still the second half of the sentence she didn't say. Xiaobei is now spoiled like this, and she has an unshirkable responsibility, Liu's mother's spoilment and the inclusion of her uncle are also indispensable.

Liu Zhongyi, who was silently a spectator, walked over from the entrance of the building, looked at the old one, one middle school and one young man in front of him, and the balance in his heart was still biased. Mom, I think in the long run, it is still feasible to let Xiaobei go back.

Liu's mother glanced at him sideways, with a slight dissatisfaction in her eyes. Liu Zhongyi was choked, and the corners of her mouth were pursed, and she continued to speak up for justice. Besides, Xiaobei is not coming back? In the future, you think he can let him come back every weekend.

Seeing Liu's mother start to shake, Liu Zhongyi increased his firepower and leaned into Liu's mother's ear and whispered: Besides, Mom, She Yi is Xiaobei's biological mother, even if she did something wrong before, it's enough for so many years. Breaking bones requires connecting tendons, and Xiaobei also wants to go back together. Even if you don't look at your sister-in-law's face, you can see your eldest grandson's face? Look at Xiaobei has been alone for so many years, lonely, and waiting for She Yi on weekends...

When Liu's mother opened her eyes, she wanted to get angry. When did Xiaobei become alone? He grew up in front of him and loved him like a pearl and jade. Why did she become lonely? Just as she was about to refute, Liu Zhongyi changed the subject: Although both you and your father love him, no matter how close your grandparents are, it is not maternal love, right?

Liu's mother did not refute this time. She also knew that maternal love was essential for the growth of children, but Xiaobei had been with her side. After she suddenly left, how could she get used to it?

Liu's mother sighed long, a little hesitant

Liu Zhongyi winked at She Yi on the side, and she carefully said: Mom, I know I am not considering doing this today, a little suddenly, I want Xiaobei to live with me, but I...

She Yi pursed the corner of his lips, as if he had made a major decision: But mom, I haven't taken him for so many years, and I don't understand many things. I thought Xiaobei would live here first, and prepare what he needs here, so I would give Xiaobei a transition period. I can also learn from you if I go here a few more trips. How should I take him? After the New Year, I will take him back.

Liu's mother cleared her throat, and Liu Lubei handed her the cup on the coffee table with a wink: Grandma drinks water

Liu's mother took a sip of water and said lightly: That's all that's the only way to go

She Yi kept holding the heart back in her stomach, thank you mom, thank you mom
