Chapter 4 Father, Mother
Refusing Xie Zhijing's kind offer to invite him to dinner, Ren Hao took the liberty of asking her to take him home.
Mainly, he wanted to confirm his presence.
The familiar courtyard, the hand-screwed faucet, the slightly dilapidated north room. Ren Hao's eyes were a little moist, he truly believed that he was reborn at this moment!
"Mom!"
Trembling, he pushed open the hidden door of the house, only to see his mother, Zhuo Yuzhen, washing clothes with a scrubboard in the outer room, the sweat on her face slowly dripping down in the basin, a very hard look. Ren Hao's family is not rich, parents are 800 monthly salary of state-owned enterprise workers, so, usually do not use the washing machine to wash clothes.
In his mother's words, it was too electricity intensive!
The forty-something-year-old Zhuo Yanqin did not lift her head, "How is the bank card done, alas, our family has no money, you say you a small child, what is the use of doing that thing, quickly go and wash your hands, a moment later, your father came back to us to eat." Zhuo Yanqin, like ordinary people's mothers, loves to nag, "You should start the school year, study early to review your homework, high school is the most important period, you have to grasp, well, our family is counting on you to make a good living."
Ren Hao turned his head away and wiped the crystals from the corners of his eyes, "Mom, I will, I will."
Death makes Ren Hao understand a lot of things, a lot of happiness, in fact, around you, only has not been aware of it.
Parents healthy body, family and beautiful, the world, there is a happier thing than this?
No more!
Really no more!
Zhuo Yuqin stopped her work, slightly surprised, raised her eyes to look at him: "Usually you are impatient to answer me, what's wrong today?" The corners of his mother's eyes were already covered with fine wrinkles, "If you really know what you're doing, help mom with the laundry."
"Okay!" Ren Hao lifted up his sleeves and went up to squeeze his mother out of the way, grabbing the clothes and soap, "You rest, watch some TV."
Zhuo Yanqin smiled bitterly and took the shoulder top son, "Stay aside, mom is so say, you still serious ah, besides, you will not wash ah, when mom still have to wash two times." In fact, as long as the son has this heart, for Zhuo Yuqin is enough, where she would not want to let her son work ah?
But who knows Ren Hao is not relentless, must wash the clothes, Zhuo Yuqin helpless to hold up the bladder, at the side of the smile to see him make a fool of himself. After sixteen years, not to mention doing housework, even the quilt has not been folded Ren Hao how could be able to wash the clothes?
Soap, rub the clothes, throw the water to wash and dry, wring it out and dry it on the tweed thin line in the yard. Six pieces of clothing in one go, actually in just ten minutes all washed, and under the supervision of Zhuo Yuzhen, each piece is still washed very clean.
"Son, where did you learn this?"
Zhuo Yuzhen was a little surprised.
Ren Hao smiled smugly and played a sloppy game, "I watched you wash every day, so I learned, how is it, it's still in your eyes, right?" Ren Hao has suffered, this work is naturally not a problem.
"Look at you." Zhuo Yanqin was amused by her son, "If you have the ability to make dinner for both of us, that's what you can do." Cooking is not like washing clothes, you can't learn by watching once or twice.
Ren Hao picked up the towel on the washbasin and wiped his palms, not willing to show weakness, "Okay! You'll see!" Without saying anything, Ren Hao confidently ran to the small kitchen outside the house.
"Hey, you're really doing it, forget it, go back to the house and do your homework, don't burn you again."
"Oh, it's fine."
Zhuo Yanqin how to know, since Ren Hao graduated from college, the family meal can be his one person package.
......
"Yuqin, I'm back."
Is the father Ren Xueyu's voice, bearded dad carrying a small bag, face tired into the courtyard. The father is a real person, not good for those who fight, flattering, so only to the factory drive delivery, with the promotion is destined to have no chance.
Ren Xueyu see Zhuo Yuchen eyes surprised to stand outside the house in front of the small kitchen, can not help but curiously walk over to see, "What are you doing, how not to cook?"
Zhuo Yuqin nudged toward the kitchen, "Looking at our good son."
Ren Xueyu gazed into a look, saw Ren Hao a hand holding a three kilograms of large iron pot, a hand with a frying spoon pulling vegetables, skilled movements, fancy, even the two will not be pawing the spoon even mastered!
The couple watched from the sidelines, fearing that a bad, scalded their son.
......
Placing a few plates of simple home cooking on the small round table in the inner room, Ren Hao clapped his hands with satisfaction, "Mom and Dad, taste our handiwork."
Color, aroma, and taste, Ren Hao seemed to have done it all.
Ren Xueyu chewed on the potato slices and slowly nodded, "You know to whip the potatoes with oil before frying them, not bad, the flavor is not worse than what your mom does." Zhuo Yuqin was greatly relieved, but her gaze gradually grew suspicious, "Tell the truth to mom, who did you learn all this from?" The two of them always felt that today's son was a bit different from usual.
"Learned it from the recipe, I have a strong comprehension ability, and I mastered it after practicing a few times." Ren Hao opened his mouth to give his parents some food, "Eat quickly, it will get cold in a while."
At this time, a news item popped up on the twenty-one-inch ball screen old-fashioned Peony TV.
"Today, Hufangqiao Industrial and Commercial Bank suffered a robbery, there are two robbers holding homemade pistols, the lives of more than three dozen hostages are seriously threatened, the police then used three snipers to shoot the robbers, but midway through the change, one of the robbers were not hit, raised his gun to shoot at the masses, just in the nick of time, a middle school student stepped forward, picked up the robbers' pistol toward He pulled the trigger, after four shots, the gangster fell to the ground, next, this secondary school student again with a gun against a shot not dead gangster, only to be able to save the hostages in his hands, to protect the lives of many people, because he did not want to disclose his name ......"
Zhuo Yanqin heart shook a bit, palpitating with fear looked at the bowed head of Ren Hao: "Good risk ah, fortunately our son did not go to that bank, alas, to say that the current secondary school students are too powerful, right, at a young age will dare to shoot, but also with those outlaws confrontation?" Ren Xueyu also felt a bit unbelievable, put down the pair of faded bamboo chopsticks, eyes firmly staring at the TV set.
Ren Hao smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose, he really couldn't talk about being powerful, now when he thought about the images at that time, his legs and stomach were still shivering!
"Xiao Hao, if you meet this kind of thing in the future, you have to hide as far away as you can, don't try to show off that ability."
"I know."
In this case, if it was any other person of his age, I'm afraid he would have to show off a little bit. However, Ren Hao was different, the first thing he considered was how not to let his parents worry, so he didn't say it out loud, and just wanted to wait quietly for the bonus guaranteed by Director Ye to hit the account.
These money, Ren Hao took it for granted.
