Chapter 154: (Second update, first)
The atmosphere of the dinner was a little strange, there were many dishes and many people, but most of them just bowed their heads and ate their own food and didn't speak much.
If Chen Yue didn't return food to Gu Nian, it would attract Grandma Chen's eyes, but if everything was controlled by others, Chen Yue would not be Chen Yue anymore. He still went his own way and didn't care about Grandma Chen's eyes.
Chen Chao pulled Grandma Chen's sleeve several times, but she was photographed back, so Chen Chao could only bury his head in eating and try to reduce his sense of existence.
After the meal, Gu Nian also prepared apples for everyone. Chen Ling, who had only one gluten in the whole process, ate happily, and the rest of the people almost didn't eat much.
Gu Nian finally let out a sigh of relief after Shen Shuwen said his farewell.
"You close the doors and windows at home, I'll be back later, eh?" Chen Yue rubbed his wife's hair and spoke softly.
Before Gu Nian could answer, Grandma Chen replied, "Xiaoyue, it's alright, what can you do in the military area, besides, Niannian is not too young..."
"Okay, Brother Chen I'll wait for you to come back" Gu Nianjiao said coquettishly.
Gu Nian is no longer a vegetarian, she is almost turning into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Of course, she knows that the older generation dislikes this kind of behavior, but, what are they doing? She and Chen Yue are legal husband and wife, isn't it natural to act like a spoiled child and accept Chen Yue's care?
Grandma Chen was so angry that she hummed several times, looking at Gu Nian's eyes, as if she was looking at some "indecent" scheming girl.
"Grandma, why are you looking at me like this? Are you not happy that I have a good relationship with Brother Chen?" She rolled her eyes at the sky in her heart, even if Grandma Chen couldn't stand her, what if she couldn't get rid of her? !
Chen Yue and others' eyes were drawn to Chen Nian's *** by Gu Nian's sentence. Grandma Chen quickly eased her expression and said awkwardly, "Happy, happy."
Gu Nian let out a low laugh, and was listened to by Chen Yue.
Chen Yue turned to look at her, a smile flashed in his eyes, he lightly tapped Gu Nian's forehead, and before everyone could react, he led them out slowly.
The group was walking in the dark, no one said anything at first, but Chen Yue broke the silence, and the man said lightly: "Grandma, if you look at Nian Nian with a scathing look next time, I'll go back next time. Look at you."
Grandma Chen is so old and sophisticated, how could she not understand what her grandson meant, which means that if she still targets Gu Nian in the future, why don't she even come to their new house?
She turned her head and looked around. There were few passers-by around, so she didn't restrain herself any more, and cried to Chen Yue: "Xiao Yue, what you said is really hurting grandma's heart. Who am I for? Not all. Is it for your own good? Gu Nianren is small and ignorant, did I mention that she did something wrong?"
Chen Yue pursed her lips and did not speak. Grandma Chen looked over and could only vaguely see her grandson's cold outline. She felt a chill in her heart, and her grievance was even worse.
"Take today's matter as an example, Gu Nian doesn't like to clean up the house. Which woman is married and doesn't clean up at home? She spends a lot of money, and she keeps small snacks on weekdays. What kind of woman is not bought with money? I It's not pleasing to the eye, but I didn't say anything..."
"You didn't say anything, but do you think Nian Nian doesn't know anything?" Chen Yue cut off Grandma Chen's words coldly, his tone was extremely restrained but also implied anger, "Your eyes, your cold snort , except for the big-hearted Chen Ling, who can't see your hostility towards Niannian?"
"Niannian is studying right now, but she is suspended without pay and earns sixty-five yuan per month. For me, the income of the assistant teacher plus various allowances, etc., is paid every month. More than 150. Nian Nian doesn't like to make clothes, and the clothes at home are either made by my mother or bought by my mother-in-law. According to the income of the two of us, we don't have any bad habits. What's wrong with buying something to eat to improve our life? "
"As for the housework, there are only two people at home, and there is nothing to do. Niannian is busy doing experiments every day, which is also a matter of benefit to the public. Take food as an example, this year because of the fertilizer formula provided by Niannian, many places After using it, the grain output has not only increased by a generation. The leaders praised me, saying that I married a good wife, how come it has become the original sin of Nian Nian?"
Chen Yue wanted to control his emotions, but when he thought that Gu Nian was being wronged, he couldn't hold back. In this way, the old lady said she wanted to live together when she got married, but she moved out at a loss.
Grandma Chen was stunned and speechless. All she wanted was to make her grandson feel more comfortable. How could she be scolded by her grandson in turn, especially in front of her daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter, she suddenly felt ashamed of her old face.
On the way back, Grandma Chen didn't say a word. Even Shen Shuwen and Chen Yue talked to her, but she refused to speak with a cold face. When she got home, she said she had a headache and went back to the house to lie down.
Shen Shuwen said Chen Yue: "Didn't Mom tell you to take it easy? Why do you still ignore it?"
She had no problem with her son's actions, for fear that the old lady couldn't stand it.
"Mom, some things can't be slowed down." Chen Yue said lightly.
"Okay, okay, Mom can't tell you. I'll see how you coaxed the old lady."
Chen Yue smiled calmly. Regarding this matter, he had already thought about the countermeasures before speaking. As the old saying goes, a heart disease needs a heart medicine doctor, and the old lady's medicine is Chen Chao.
Grandma Chen was in her own room, lying on the bed and sighing all the time. When she was old, she felt that her children and grandchildren didn't take her seriously. She suddenly felt a little sad. Maybe she should not have followed Chen Yue's wishes to live with her. , Although I am a little tired by myself, I don't need to be angry.
At this moment, there was movement from the door of the room, and Mrs. Chen didn't look back. "Go out, I don't want to hear anything."
"Grandma, it's me." Chen Chao stood at the door, bewildered.
What happened today is not only clear to Chen Yue, but also to himself. Grandma Chen picked on his sister-in-law for no reason. In the final analysis, she still wanted to use her sister-in-law to win benefits for him from the eldest brother.
Now that he knows, seeing Grandma Chen's anger, Chen Chao can't pretend he didn't see it.
Chen Chao walked over quickly, sat down beside Grandma Chen's bed, looked at the thin old man on the bed, and couldn't help feeling sore. "Grandma, don't be angry."
"Good boy, you are here, I thought it was your brother!" Grandma Chen patted Chen Chao's hand, her eyes hard to hide her loss.
"Milk, don't be angry, it was my elder brother who asked me to come here."
"What did he ask you to do, see if I'm mad at me?" Grandma Chen said duplicitously.
"Bah, bah, you're not allowed to say such things." Chen Chao interrupted quickly: "Big brother and I are the same, only looking forward to grandma's long life."
"It may be true that you are looking forward to my long life. Your elder brother is fascinated by goblins, and even your milk dares to say it." Grandma Chen said and began to wipe her tears. She didn't know she was doing something wrong. But it was a little difficult to get off the stage, and felt that Chen Yue and Gu Nian had hurt face.
"No, my eldest brother also wants grandma to live a hundred years." Chen Chao said seriously.
Seeing that Grandma Chen was still crying, his handkerchief wiped Grandma Chen's tears, "Ma, you are doing this for me, I know."
Grandma Chen's heart warmed, and her gaze towards Chen Chao softened a lot.
"But it's really unnecessary." Chen Chao sighed, looking down at his palm.
"Before, Dad protected me because he thought I couldn't do anything well, and he was always worried that I might be in trouble again. I think you think the same way now, but I'm also growing up, no longer The old Chen Chao is gone."
Chen Chao may not have felt this before, but since Chen Zhongyan went in, he did feel a lot of warmth and affection. The truth that he didn't understand before is slowly starting to understand now.
"Honey, the more you want eldest brother to help me, the more you can't force him. Everyone has a rebellious mentality, not to mention that eldest brother is a deputy teacher."
Chen Chao still lowered his head, as if there was something special in his hand that was always attracting his attention.
"Milk, do you all think I'm too stupid to rely on yourself?"
"No, our Chaochao is also a capable boy." Grandma Chen patted the back of Chen Chao's hand, rarely willing to calm down and listen to someone.
Chen Chao looked up at her, and then he laughed sincerely, "Then if you have confidence in me, don't do anything. Besides, the sister-in-law is actually a very good person. If there is no sister-in-law, there will be no me and Chen now. Ling."
Besides, Chen Chao actually agreed with what the eldest brother just said, that the eldest sister-in-law is capable and ambitious, and it would be a real pity if she was detained at home as a housewife. As far as he is concerned, he also appreciates Gu Nian very much. The existence of Gu Nian makes Chen Chao understand that even girls can live in another way, and they don't have to rely on someone to get everything like a mother.
Seeing that Grandma Chen seemed to have listened in, Chen Chao was relieved. If Grandma kept being stubborn, he probably wouldn't even want to come back for the holidays.
"Big brother." As soon as Chen Chao left Grandma Chen's room, he met Chen Yue at the door.
Chen Yue hummed, patted him on the shoulder, and asked bluntly, "Have you thought about what to do in the future? If you want to join the army or politics, it's probably impossible."
"Brother, why don't you say that I'm the only one who wants to enter a big state-owned factory?" Chen Chao wanted to laugh, but he couldn't erase the bitterness on the corner of his mouth.
Chen Yue is because of his own ability and military merit. What does he have? Whatever Chen Zhongyan and Yuan Jiangxue did can block his future, so it's not unreasonable for grandma to be so anxious to tie Chen Yue to prison.
Chen Yue glanced at him admiringly, this younger brother is much more mature than before, and he doesn't feel sorry for himself, which is very rare.
"I didn't actually think about it before, but last time I cooked for her for a while at my sister-in-law's house...I have an idea..."
Chen Chao's eyes were bright, and he looked into the distance, still full of hope.
He felt that his father and grandmother actually underestimated him, and he might not have a bad life on his own in the future.
