Can I?

Looking at the faint smile on Rinperan's face, Chen Jianguo felt uncomfortable. It seemed that the efforts he had put in these past few days had been in vain because of his mother's words. Rinperan was even more polite and distant than when they first met.

He heard himself say stiffly, "This is your house. You can do whatever you want."

For the first time in Chen Jianguo's history, he felt unspeakably embarrassed.

Mother Chen's temper didn't seem to have hurt anyone. When she went downstairs to eat dinner, Rinperan still called her mother. After dinner, she would also help to clean up, but she was clearly a lot more polite.

Chen Jianguo wanted to ease the atmosphere, but there was nothing he could say. After all, some words were like spilled water that could not be taken back.

After dinner, the two guests that Chen Changsheng's father brought back went back to work overtime with his father. It was said that there were still some cases that needed to be tried. Having come back to eat was considered relaxing after going out for a few days.

After Mrs. Chen had washed up, she went to rest. She was afraid that it wouldn't be good to hang out in the rain. She wanted to wash her clothes and hang them in the bathroom. Thinking about Mrs. Chen's attitude before, she decided to let it go.

After carrying the dirty clothes back upstairs, Chen Jianguo took a glance but didn't say anything. He then went downstairs to take a bath.

Ringpelin wiped his hair dry and blew it dry in front of the electric fan. Chen Jianguo did not come up.

Listening carefully downstairs, there was the sound of nails being hammered, and as he went down, he saw Chen Jianguo nailing two triangles to the wall.

"Why did you come down?" "The atmosphere downstairs is very humid, and there are many mosquitoes. You should go sleep first."

Feeling that someone was looking at him, Chen Jianguo turned around and shone his flashlight over. He saw a pretty girl standing in the shadows, looking over.

"We can't even see that anymore. Let's do it tomorrow!"

The eaves of the house stood out for 70-80 cm. Upstairs was a half-filled balcony. If you left your clothes there, they wouldn't get wet unless it was a very windy or rainy day.

Ringpelin suddenly understood what it meant when Chen saw him take his dirty clothes upstairs.

"Isn't this a flashlight? "It's fine."

Chen insisted on finishing what he was doing. Ringpelin went over to him with the flashlight in his hand, which made it much faster.

"Take shelter from the rain here, I'll set up a shelter tomorrow. From now on, if it rains, I won't have to worry about my wet clothes being hung up."

Ringpelin looked at him with a guilty smile and nodded.

Some small matters could become the beginning of friction, but as long as they were dealt with in time, there would be no problems.

Chen Jianguo's attitude was clear. He didn't want to hurt Lin Peran, but he also wouldn't really quarrel with his mother.

Chen's mother came out of the bathroom to take a look. She knew that Chen Jianguo had nailed a clothesline rack to dry the night, so she immediately felt stuffy again.

But Ringpelin had already gone upstairs, and only his son had taken a bath and was waiting for Manny to come back. He could not hear what he was going to say to Ringpelin.

"Mom, do you want some water?"

Chen Jianguo called his mother over to the living room. Having been a leader for more than ten years, how could he not know that Chen Jianguo had something to say?

She also had something to say. She had just gone to hide in her room because she did not want to see Ringpelin's aggrieved face.

"I will not drink water. As I am old, if I drink more I will get swollen. If you have something to say, just say it! "

Chen Jianguo's hand paused for a moment as he placed the kettle to the side.

"Mom, I hope that our family can live in harmony with each other."

"What do you mean?" Old Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows and sneered. "Even if you're husband and wife, how long have you known her? Are you going to listen to whatever she says?"

"Mom. "Calm down and listen to me." Chen patted his mother on the shoulder to appease her, "I'm an adult, so I have my own judgment. Dad and I have to travel a lot for our work. There's only the three of you in the house, so we'll be fine, okay? "

Mother Chen looked at Chen Jianguo in disappointment. Her premonition was right, after her son had a wife, he started to despise her.

The woman who had just become his wife, and now he had come to negotiate for her.

"I'm not an unreasonable person. I'll explain everything to her whenever she can change her rustic attitude.

Don't let the next time a guest comes, and see the living room full of clothes and quilts hanging up. Do you think this is their unruly farmyard in the countryside? "

"Mom. People in the countryside aren't as bad as you think. "Her grandmother was a lady of a noble family. They taught her manners very well …"

"Yes!" Your daughter sent someone to be a child's daughter-in-law, took food, and then went to be a good person! "

Chen Jianguo was at a loss for words. He did not know about this, so it was likely that Aunt Lin and his mother had mentioned it.

"Let's not talk about the past anymore. No one has a good time back then." Chen Jianguo changed the subject. "Peran works at the tea factory in their town. I think we have nothing to do, so we should let her go back and continue cooking."

Mrs. Chan stood up to leave, but stopped when she heard this.

When Ringpelin was married, he could go back to his parents' house and live there. She didn't want to see him in such a poor state.

"Since you've already decided, why are you still asking me?"

With that, Chen's mother left, leaving Chen Jianguo distressed on the spot.

It was just a small matter. Why did it become a big matter when it was with his mother?

"Then I'll talk to Peran. "Thank you, Mom, for your support."

Chen thought about what he had to say, and decided that he wouldn't change the fact that Peran was going to go back and make tea.

On the one hand, there was really nothing to do in the house. On the other hand, he had promised Lin Peran that he would not go back on his word.

Chen Jianguo's mother responded with a heavy slam on the door.

Standing in the living room, Chen Jianguo helplessly pinched his forehead. Lu Kun's words hit the nail on the head. His mother had put her heart into her work to confront Lin Peran.

When Chen Manny arrived home at 9: 30, Chen Jianguo wanted to talk to her about studying. Seeing her tired face, he felt troubled and decided not to talk about it anymore.

He took out the porridge that had been prepared with various kinds of beans and nuts and gave it to Chen Manny.

"Your sister-in-law left you some food. Go wash up after you're done!"

"What is it?"

Chen Mannie took a closer look, all kinds of beans and nuts were cooked together, it was the same as rice porridge, wasn't it supposed to be eaten during the Laba Rice Porridge Festival?

Chen Manny asked as soon as she thought of it. In any case, she had nothing to be polite about in front of her big brother.

"No one has made it clear that the porridge can only be eaten during the eighth festival!" Chen Jianguo didn't do anything, but he was already physically and mentally exhausted. He pointed at the table, indicating for Chen Manny to eat. "This way, the nutrition is abundant. Eating more is good for your health."

"What a mess. I wonder if I can …"

"Chen Manny!" Chen Jianguo shouted with a heavier tone.
