Chapter 84: Penguin (1/2)
Chen Suling stayed at home for another night. She went to visit Grandma Chen the next morning. Seeing that the old lady was in good health, she resigned from the family and took her husband and children back with her.
Pei Yun was ashamed for several days, so she didn't dare to come to the old house, so she only asked Chen Wenqian to take the children in the family to visit the old man. The two children didn’t understand what was going on at home. Chen Deyun was a little bit older, but she was as close to her family as she was to her grandparents. Deqing was only a little older and didn’t feel the difference at all. She was still acting like a baby with her family.
Although the two elders of the Chen family did not like their daughter-in-law, they treated the children as they did before.
Grandma Chen even looked at Deyun, a little girl who was so sensible, and her heart softened a bit. She called her around to ask her to study, and gave her a little pocket money to buy her books.
The second daughter-in-law made them feel chill, and there was no way for them to recover for a while.
Pei Yun stewed soup for several days and asked her husband to bring it. The second elder of the Chen family accepted it and understood her kindness to please them.
Grandma Chen was the most angry with her, but she was not the only one talking about her daughter-in-law.
A few days later, Chen Wenqian went to the study of Old Chen, and he wanted to be separated from the old man.
Chen Wenqian has always stayed with the two elders. In the past few years, he has been working in the company with the old man, but there is no exact division. He felt that he had something to do with his wife’s situation, so he completely separated from his old house. Chen Wenqian was very tough. As long as he keeps up with the old man's salary, he doesn't want much for the rest.
He discussed it with his father in the study. He would still work hard at his old man’s side, but he wanted to separate from his father and have financial freedom. The money and other things would be re-purchased by himself instead of relying on the two elders.
Old Chen nodded and agreed.
Although Grandma Chen felt that this was too sudden, she sighed after thinking about it, and said: ”Let's do what he said. Anyway, if they stayed with us, we would have taken care of everything. It would be great if his wife’s knot in heart would be released, so it's fine.”
Chen Qiuguo also went back, and was under the weather, but she did not let her anger lash out on her younger brother or at his children at home. Her family Hua Yan still played with her cousin Chen Deyun every day, and the friendship between the children did not affect her.
On the other hand, Chen Suling brought Tang Jinyu back home early, probably because the journey was a little tiring, and her child developed a low fever the night she came back.
He was sent to the hospital for a day, and the next day he was better. Xia Ye stayed at the hospital to accompany him. He was worried about the little guy and did not return to school early, and stayed there to accompany him.
Tang Jinyu doesn't like to be hospitalized. He has been in the hospital for too long and finds it boring here, but it was fine as long as his brother was with him.
He draws pictures by himself every day, and when he finishes the drawing, he waits to show them when Teacher Xia and Xia Ye come to visit the next morning. It was a drawing of a rainbow with a blue sky and white clouds. On the bottom of the drawing, was a drawing of all five family members, although they were drawn in simple strokes, everyone’s characteristics were well grasped. Chen Suling’s dress and pearl necklace, Tang Hongjun’s briefcase and glasses, Teacher Xia’s suit and musical instruments, and Xia Ye holding his laptop…
Xia Ye's eyes fell on the drawing and the little guy was holding his legs as usual. The little sloth was about to climb up with his feet off the ground.
The drawing was given to Teacher Xia, who liked it very much. On the way home, he found a frame shop to complete it. He planned to go back and hang it on the wall in the corridor of the living room.
Xia Ye helped him, and after he hung it up, he watched it for a while and laughed, ”Dad, Mr. Tang in Qizhou also has such a corridor with a lot of Xiaoyu's calligraphy and paintings hanging on it, as well as his kindergarten.' Entrance Certificate'.”
Teacher Xia smiled and said: ”That's good. Let's try to hang a few more. The bare walls don't look good, this would make them look more interesting.”
Xia Ye looked at it for a while, nodded and said okay.
In fact, it's not just drawing hanging on the walls. He doesn’t when he's been surrounded by things related to the little guy. It slowly penetrated little by little, silently, but very naturally.
In the past, he would never believe that he would be so patient with a child one day, would feed him, make milk powder, and would allow one or two small toys on his computer desk in his bedroom.
Xia Ye helped his father clean the house when he went home. Some outdated magazines and messy objects were thrown away, and one or two pieces of broken building blocks left by Tang Jinyu and several marbles, but he didn't dare to move them. He wiped them clean and put them on the tea table in the living room, and finally repaired the little guy’s small water gun.
