After breakfast, Chen Jianguo and Lin Peilan are left at home.
Lin Peilan and Chen Jianguo went to buy some materials to make steamed buns, but she stayed at home to clean.
Chen Jianguo came back soon. Lin Peilan wanted to clean up before he went to make noodles. He didn't expect that he would do the same thing.
It seems that a man who has never done any housework is a little better than others.
"How's it going? Am I doing ok? "
Lin Peilan looked at him as if he wanted to be praised by others. He wanted to laugh but he could not help it. Sometimes he looked like an adult, but he was almost like a child.
"It's very good. You can help me cut the vegetables later."
"Well, I won't let you down."
It's a lot easier for two people to work together. The steamed stuffed bun, which used to take more than two hours, was finished by two people in more than one hour.
Chen Jianguo was working most of the time, and Lin Peilan only needed a few minutes to finish. He didn't pull him down when he was making steamed stuffed buns.
In the beginning, one or two of them looked ugly, but in the back, they were pretty good.
"Dad said your steamed buns are delicious, and they are right."
As soon as the steamed buns came out of the pot, Chen Jianguo tasted two of them impolitely. He had a bad appetite. After eating them, he kept praising them and looked at Lin Peilan with hot eyes.
"You can't stay at home and take care of them. It's just to make them eat better in the morning. It's not so exaggerated. "
Lin Peilan said that nothing happened, but Chen Jianguo still understood that Lin Peilan was a little aggrieved. After all, he wanted to live a good life from the beginning. He did not expect that he would encounter so many frustrations and setbacks in the future.
"Give mom some time, and she'll know about you."
Lin Peilan smiles. In order not to worry Chen Jianguo, she nods.
"It's OK. I know it."
"I've wronged you."
Lin Peilan bowed her head to pack up and didn't want to continue the problem.
"When you leave tomorrow, do you need anything else?"
"With your warm brand of meat sauce, I have the whole world."
"Pooh. Do you want to exaggerate like that? " Lin Peilan couldn't help laughing.
"It's not exaggeration. It's true. All the food in the canteen has the same taste. You haven't eaten it. You don't know the pain in it." Chen Jianguo's painful way.
"I'll send you some after you've finished eating. Anyway, it's not bad when it's cold. "
"Don't you want to come and see me?" Chen Jianguo took the pot in her hand and asked.
Lin Peilan was stunned. Before, she was perfunctory. Chen Jianguo's colleague Dagang said that she really didn't take it too seriously.
"Well, I'll come to you if I'm free."
As for whether she is free or not, of course, is she in charge? Lin Peilan is still wrong.
But Chen Jianguo didn't think so. He was very happy.
I haven't left yet. When I plan to visit Lin Peilan, I should arrange where to live and so on.
The steamed stuffed bun was also made. They read books and tasted tea for a while. They had a good taste of years.
At noon, Chen's mother came back for dinner. She didn't look good. It was probably a matter of work.
After Lin Peilan gave her a cup of warm tea, she went back to the kitchen and put the food on the table.
If a woman wants to do something of her own, even if she has a strong man behind her back, she still has to go through a walk when she wants to leave.
The successor has come. Chen's mother is no longer the one who made the same decision in the unit. No matter what the subordinates were, they have to look at the new boss for some face.
Having been in power for so many years, Lin Peilan suddenly turned to look at others in this way. There is always a little gap in her heart, which she understands.
Chen Jianguo naturally saw that Chen's mother was depressed and tried every means to make her happy, but it was useless.
"I'll take a nap, and then go to work. What are you doing? Go ahead."
Chen mother said back to his room, Lin Peilan looked at Chen Jianguo, do not know how to persuade Chen mother.
"Don't worry. I'm sure mom will be back to normal soon. She's the one who has seen the wind and waves."
In his heart, he was worried and didn't want to burden Lin Peilan a little more. Chen Jianguo thought about it and said to Chen's father in the evening. Pay more attention to Chen's mother's recent mood.
Sometimes the most wanted care comes from the person beside the pillow.
At more than two o'clock, Chen's mother's unit came and her colleagues asked her to deal with the matter.
Just washed face, drank tea, then left in a hurry.
"Should it be all right?" It's such a rush again. Lin Peilan is a little worried.
"It's going to be OK. If it's the same thing as last time, it's impossible for my colleagues to call my mother."
Lin Peilan was worried all afternoon. Chen Jianguo talked to her about some books. She couldn't listen to them. Instead, he went to Chen's mother's unit by bike.
Some of them came back in early four o'clock. Chen's mother's face was very good, not as bad as before, and there was still some excitement.
"Mom, you've been working hard for so many years. It's time to have a rest. Don't go from tomorrow."
"Originally, I was thinking that I would explain everything well, and then retire and go home, so as to give play to my surplus heat. But in the current situation, I can't be used for anything. Everyone can do well and continue to be afraid that someone will think I'm in love with power. "
"Yes! After that, you will raise flowers and drink tea with everyone. Why don't I come back with a puppy! So when you're alone at home, it's not so boring. "
"Am I that idle?"
Chen's mother is not happy. She retired, and she is not as idle as those old men and women in the courtyard.
"No, no, I just don't think it's good. It's better for a dog to come back."
"Don't talk about it. I'll know that when I retire, everyone will dislike me." Chen's mother threw her face and went back to the house.
Chen Jianguo is a fool. He just thinks that with a dog by his side, he can spend his spare time. It really doesn't mean anything else, but obviously his mother misunderstood him.
"I am. I said something wrong?"
"Mom has been a leader for more than ten years. Now you mean to let her stay idle like those old women and grandparents who have been supporting for several years. Naturally, she is not happy."
Lin Peilan said directly, Chen Jianguo suddenly realized, and patted his forehead with chagrin.
His mother is an intellectual, and she is also a noble and strong woman. When she retires, she will treat her as an idle person. She certainly can't accept it.
"It's my carelessness."
Chen Jianguo poured a cup of tea and went to the room to coax his mother. He didn't know what to say. When he came out for dinner, his mother was not so depressed and her face softened.
"You'd better bring a little dog back. I think it's good to have a little dog at home." At dinner, Chen's mother said.
"OK, I'll ask Lu Kun in a moment. Who has a dog in his family?"
