Chapter 28 Family War of the Century
"Dad, what's in these bags?"
Shen Mo pointed at the big and small bags his father brought over and asked curiously.
Shen Weiguo, however, pretended not to hear anything and changed the subject.
Huh?
It’s tricky!
Shen Mo immediately felt that something was not right.
Zhou Wanyun was quick to answer with a smile, and she resolved the confusion. "Before we came here, your father went to the countryside and bought two big roosters and brought them here to nourish your body."
Shen Weiguo's face suddenly turned black, with an expression of regret.
I guess he will have a share of the soup made from these two big roosters.
The bullet fired before coming to Hangzhou hit him right between the eyebrows.
"Hahaha……"
Now that his "suffering" was shared with someone, Shen Mo suddenly felt that the soup in the bowl was not so unpalatable.
"Honey, what are you going to eat tonight?"
"How about some too?"
Shen Weiguo drank so hard that his teeth were grimacing, and he wanted to share some with Zhou Wanyun.
"I don't drink, I lose weight."
Zhou Wanyun ate the two vegetarian dishes made by Shen Mo with gusto.
"Thank you, son, for making me scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
“It tastes pretty good.”
She praised repeatedly.
"Mom, don't be so pretentious. If you want to thank us, help us drink some soup."
Shen Mo also drank with a grimace in his mouth.
Zhou Wanyun finally couldn't help laughing so hard that she fell forward and backward.
The father and son looked at each other and rushed forward at the same time.
One of them held his mother down, while the other picked up the bowl and poured soup into his wife's mouth.
"Ah...rebellion!"
A terrifying soprano voice came from Room 501.
A family war of the century begins, two Shens versus one Zhou. Both sides are cautious and evenly matched, fighting back and forth.
……
After a long time, the war finally ended, the two sides ended in a draw, and they shook hands in peace temporarily.
Peace finally returned to the table.
"Son, are you interested in volunteering?"
Zhou Wanyun finally asked about this topic.
After asking, the couple looked at each other and seemed a little nervous.
Shen Mo didn't care at all. He buried his head in eating chicken and responded vaguely.
"My first choice is most likely Hangzhou University of Technology."
"The second is Hangzhou University of Electronic Science and Technology."
Hearing this answer, the couple breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Although a son is no longer under the control of his mother when he grows up, they still hope that their son will stay in Hangzhou.
"What was the admission score of Hangzhou University of Technology last year?" Zhou Wanyun was a little worried.
"548." Shen Mo replied.
"That's good." Zhou Wanyun finally felt relieved.
Shen Mo's college entrance examination score was 576, 28 points higher, which is relatively stable.
"Come on, have a bowl for our son!"
Zhou Wanyun was a little excited and raised the bowl of beer in her hand to signal to the father and son.
"cut……"
The father and son looked at the chicken soup still in the bowl and booed in disdain at the same time.
……
After the family of three had eaten and drunk their fill, Shen Mo took the initiative to clean up and wash the dishes.
He realized that he was too ignorant in the past.
From childhood to adulthood, I have almost never helped my mother with housework under the pretext of studying.
No matter what time it is, you just open your mouth and clothes will be provided, and stretch out your hand and food will be provided.
My mother took care of me in every way. It was not until my father passed away and she fell ill that I realized I had missed out on so much.
Fortunately, it's not too late now...
After cleaning up everything, the family sat together watching TV and chatting.
The show on TV was "Snow Leopard", a popular TV series.
My father leaned back on the sofa, watching the Japanese being killed in various ways on TV with great concentration.
My mother was lying on her side with her legs resting on her husband's feet, eating grapes and watching TV comfortably.
Shen Mo moved a stool and sat next to his father.
Although it was just an ordinary daily routine, he felt extremely warm at the moment.
This scene was something he longed for so much.
Many times, happiness lies in these ordinary moments. It does not require fancy words or complicated rituals. It only requires family members to care for each other, support each other, and spend time together.
This simple and true happiness makes people feel extremely warm and satisfied. …
After an episode of "Snow Leopard" is over, it's time for commercials.
Zhou Wanyun suddenly thought of a question.
"Xiao Mo, Lin Ying's family still lives across the street, right?"
When she came to Hangzhou to see Shen Mo before, she had a very good relationship with Lin Ying and her daughter.
Both families are from Xiao County and are making a living in a foreign land.
Zhou Wanyun was a cheerful and kind person by nature. She learned about the tragic experience of the mother and daughter during a chat and couldn't help but care about them.
After a few interactions, we became familiar with each other.
"She's still here, but her mother passed away at the beginning of the month."
Shen Mo's voice was a little low.
"what?"
"How did he die?"
Zhou Wanyun was so surprised that she was stunned and sat up from the sofa.
"I heard that it was a cerebral infarction caused by chest pain."
"Ah, wasn't everything fine in the first half of the year?"
Shen Mo was speechless.
"So how is she now? Is their cake shop still open?"
"At first, she sold the store in order to save her mother, but later she rented it back and reopened it." Shen Mo couldn't say that it was he who paid the rent.
Otherwise, given the temper of my parents, they will inevitably question me.
Zhou Wanyun stood up and said, "I'll go see her."
She quite likes her neighbor, the quiet Lin Daiyu.
I had introduced a distant cousin of mine to her before, but she politely declined.
"Sister Lin, this is Zhou Wanyun over there." She dialed Lin Ying's number first.
"Oh, hello, Miss Zhou."
"Are you home? I came here today and wanted to see you."
"Yes, please wait for ten minutes. I'm taking a shower."
"Oh, okay, it's alright, whatever you want."
Fifteen minutes later.
Zhou Wanyun, carrying a bag of country eggs, knocked on the door of room 502 opposite.
"Oh, Sister Lin, you are still so beautiful!"
"Ah, Sister Zhou, stop making fun of me. You're here if you want to. Why are you bringing something with you?"
Lin Ying, who had just finished taking a shower, had skin as delicate as a baby's, and she exuded a clean and refreshing scent, like a newly blooming flower.
The water droplets flow down the slightly wet hair and down the curves of the body, revealing a natural beauty.
Even Zhou Wanyun, a woman, was amazed by what she saw.
"I just heard Xiao Mo talk about your mother. I'm very sad..."
"Sister Zhou, thank you!"
Then the door closed.
The two women put on a drama, and Zhou Wanyun chatted for more than an hour before going home.
Half past ten in the evening.
Zhou Wanyun lay next to her husband.
"Lin Ying next door is so pitiful. Her father is a bastard and her mother passed away. She is a lonely girl." She said with regret.
"Why didn't that distant cousin you introduced to me last time work out?" Shen Weiguo asked curiously.
"My cousin is in Xiao County and can't come to Hangzhou. And I think Lin Ying seems to have someone she likes, so she's not very interested in him."
"Does she have someone she likes? Why doesn't she get married?" Shen Weiguo became even more curious.
"Who knows who she likes?" Zhou Wanyun pouted, "What a pity, such a beautiful girl."
Shen Weiguo was silent for a while, and suddenly blurted out something incomprehensible.
"She doesn't like our son, does she?"
He made full use of his masculine sense of smell at this moment.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhou Wanyun's voice instantly rose octaves, making a dolphin sound.
"Our son is so much younger than her, how is that possible?" she said, angrily hitting her husband.
"Oh, it hurts, it hurts..." Shen Weiguo grabbed his wife's hand in pain and suddenly turned over.
The two of them were looking into each other's eyes, full of affection.
"Dad, Mom, are you okay?"
Shen Mo heard his mother's screams in the next room and asked loudly.
The two bodies stopped suddenly.
Zhou Wanyun glared at her husband in displeasure, totally ignoring the fact that the dolphin sound just now was made by her.
"Son, it's okay. Go to bed early. You have a class meeting tomorrow." Shen Weiguo comforted his wife. He was already eager to start the next activity.
