Old Mrs. Chen smiled as she welcomed him in, and when she looked at him, the knife in his eye flew at her.
Lin Pilan was also embarrassed. The large living room was completely occupied by the blanket and clothes. Chen Jianguo had spread the blanket on the three sofas while she was unaware.
Right now, there was only a single sofa left for him to sit on. He could only bring the guests to sit at the dining table and talk.
Ringpelin hurried to take the clothes and quilts upstairs, but the previous scene had already been seen, one of the customers joked.
"I didn't expect Commissioner Chen's house to be so full of fire and smoke. It's really enviable."
"Home is what it should be like!" Father Chen happily introduced them to his daughter-in-law. "Pei Lan, cook a few dishes of your own accord. Father's colleagues will be staying for dinner today."
"The dishes have just been served and are still warm. Dad and a few uncles will be on the table to eat first. They're not enough for me to cook."
"Alright!" Little Liu, Little Zhao, let's eat first. "
Father Chen did not care about this, seeing that dinner was just nice to eat, so he called his colleagues to come to the table to eat, and also solved the awkward scene of having no living room to talk to.
With two more guests, the dinner was naturally not enough to eat. Ringpelin hurriedly took the clothes and quilts upstairs and came downstairs.
Chen Jianguo and his mother did not come to the table either. Chen Jianguo was busy in the kitchen and Chen Jianguo was in the living room picking out dishes. From the looks of it, Lin Pailan could guess that what his father and his colleagues were saying was not suitable for them to listen to.
"Mom, you should go rest for a while! Just leave the kitchen to me. " He rolled up his sleeves and came over to help.
"Don't! There's no need for you to do it. " "In the future, don't bring your country habits into this house and embarrass us. I'll thank God for that."
Lin Peilan's hand stopped in mid-air, his mind was filled with confusion. He knew where the gap between the two families lay, but what his mother said today was too hurtful.
Taking in a deep breath, Rinperan was able to maintain his composure and speak in the same voice.
"Our countryside isn't as bad as you say. If you feel that those clothes that are hanging on the air are beneath your face, I can apologize." But you can't insult people.
Looking at Lin Peran's stubborn face, Chen's mother was angry, but since there were guests at home, she didn't have the face to make jokes.
"Sharp tongue!" Don't use your strength in the wrong place! "
With that, Mrs. Chan no longer took care of Ringperan and went to wash the vegetables and prepare to cook.
It was impossible to say that he didn't feel wronged, but it wasn't that he hadn't experienced those eyes before. It wasn't that he hadn't seen people who mocked and mocked him.
After taking a few deep breaths, he suppressed the soreness and continued working.
Chen Jianguo was picking up dishes in the living room. The two of them were talking quietly in the kitchen, so he didn't hear them. He only saw them standing very close together and thought they were getting along well.
He brought the dishes into the kitchen and saw that the two of them did not speak, but were busy with their own work. He also did not see anything, so he brought the dishes over to his mother.
He turned his head to see that Ringpelin had taken the frozen meat and cut it with all his might, but it was only a little too small for him to cut it off, so he went to catch it.
"This effort, I'll do it."
Without a word, Ringpelin let him take it, and turned to find some cantaloupe flour to marinate the meat, just in time to hear his mother muttering.
What eyes." Was there a need to hide the seasonings? "No matter how I searched, I couldn't find anything.
"…"
Previously, Lin thought it was an impromptu auntie who was used to placing bottles and jars on the kitchen counter, but now she knew that the one who liked to put them aside was Mrs. Chan.
Lin Pailan knew that Mrs. Chen was saying this on purpose, so she didn't say anything. She picked up the potato powder, which was in the drawer under the stove, and took out the neatly arranged bottles and jars in front of Mrs. Chen.
"I say, what are you doing hiding? "It's not convenient to cook …"
Chen continued to say that Lin did not pay any attention to her. She put the sliced meat of Chen Jianguo into a bowl and salted it with seasonings and sweet potato powder.
"Mom. Leave the kitchen to Peran! Today you've been in the rain and you're tired. "
Chen Jianguo looked at Lin Pailan, who was working hard, and then at his obviously discontented mother, and finally realized that something was wrong.
"This is my kitchen. Why should I go out?"
"Mom!"
The kitchen immediately quieted down. Chen Jianguo's smile froze on his face as he quickly looked at Rinperan.
When Chen Jianguo realized that her head was lowered as if nothing had happened, he panicked a little. After seeing that she was almost done, he placed her on the counter and silently washed his hands before walking out of the kitchen.
"Mom!" What's the matter with you? "As soon as Peran entered our house, he was already not used to it. Your words …"
"What did I say wrong?" Isn't this home mine? "
Chen also realized that her words were too harsh, but it was impossible for her to give in. She stubbornly stared at Chen Jianguo.
Fine.
If he were to continue like this, he wouldn't necessarily say anything.
"Good, good, good. "You go ahead."
Chen Jianguo couldn't care less about what his mother would think. Lin Pailan was very meticulous and had experienced all those rumors before. She shouldn't take those words to heart.
Chen Jianguo did not find Rimperan downstairs, but after some thought he went upstairs.
There was a sound of movement in the room upstairs. Chen Jianguo pushed the door open and entered. There was no light in the room, only a figure busily working in front of the window under the moonlight that had just risen after the rain.
"Pa Da"
Chen Jianguo turned on the lights in the room at any moment. Lin Peilan looked back and was a little depressed. However, his lips pulled up into a smile.
"Why did you come up? Aren't you going to help Mom downstairs? "
Chen did not relax when he heard Lin's feigned relaxed words. Instead, he felt a pang in his heart.
A twenty year old girl was at the prime of her life. If she wasn't married, then she would be at the age where her parents would act coquettishly to her.
The girl in front of him was his wife, and although they were forced to marry, Chen felt that Lin had been trying to integrate himself into this strange family for the past few days.
Looking at that forced smile, Chen Jianguo would rather see her not be so sensible and patient. At least, she would show her true nature in front of him and tell him if she felt wronged.
"Sorry. Mom, she didn't mean to say that. It's just that she couldn't keep her mouth shut for a while … "Don't take it to heart."
Chen Jianguo walked over step by step. His tall and muscular body was like a mountain, seemingly able to give people an unlimited reliance.
Lin Pei Lan smiled. The person in front of her was Chen Jianguo, someone who had helped her during her most difficult time. She was not a vile mother like Chen Jianguo.
Under Chen Jianguo's cautious and helpless gaze, she suddenly felt less uncomfortable.
After feeling wronged, he loosened up a bit.
"Look at you. Mom is right, you don't need to apologize. " "By the way, can I hang my clothes and quilts in the room?"
