"Teacher Chen, I heard that your Tongtong is going to the Spring Festival Gala?"
"It's so shameful for you!"
On New Year's Eve, Chen Ya and Sha Jingyuan, who had just returned from shopping for new year's goods, met neighbors who greeted them.
Chen Ya could only reply with an embarrassed smile: "No, no."
When Chen Ya returned home, she couldn't help but said:
"How many people did Xu Ji's mother tell?"
Sha Jingyuan didn't think it was anything.
"It's not like you don't know, Xu Ji's mother is like this."
"What happened during the Spring Festival Gala on Xiaoji was worthy of her showing off for half a month."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Jingyuan, Teacher Chen, have a great New Year!"
The visitors were naturally Xu Ji’s parents.
Although the two families have been neighbors for so many years, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong often visit during the Chinese New Year.
But this is the first time we get together to celebrate the New Year like this.
Chen Ya and Tang Xianshu have never been easy to deal with.
At this time, after saying hello, the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.
Fortunately, Sha Jingyuan and Xu Jiakang have been friends for many years, and they often go out for drinks together.
The two looked at each other, and Sha Jingyuan took the initiative and said:
"Old Chen, you said you live next door, why do you bring so many things with you?"
Xu Jiakang quickly smiled and replied:
"Jingyuan, Xianshu and I don't think it's good to just let you two cook the New Year's Eve dinner."
"We just came here with our things."
......
After a few polite words to each other, Chen Ya and Tang Xianshu soon started busy in the kitchen together, preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
It was very different from the two grown men in the living room talking happily that day while picking vegetables.
The kitchen seemed very quiet from beginning to end.
But it just so happens that Xu Ji’s mother, Tang Xianshu, is a woman who can’t stop talking.
Finally I couldn't help but take the initiative to speak.
"Teacher Chen, I heard that you and Tongtong haven't been in touch for a long time?"
After hearing what Tang Xianshu said, Chen Ya cursed in her heart that her husband liked to talk about everything.
Then he replied calmly: "She is usually busy and has no time to contact her."
Tang Xianshu was stunned for a moment, and then said subconsciously:
"Isn't Tongtong quite free some time ago?"
"Still chatting with me."
"She and Xu Ji sent red envelopes to me and Lao Xu one day, but we didn't ask for them."
"Everyone on the Internet is saying that they started a company, and that it will go bankrupt sooner or later. I think now is definitely the time for them to use money..."
Tang Xianshu became excited and stopped talking in the middle of her talk.
I realized I had said the wrong thing.
Then I realized that Chen Ya's face didn't look very good at this time.
"I haven't even gotten married yet, and I'm already asking my mother-in-law not to be my mother."
"What a mother-in-law wolf, Tongtong was also raised by me, okay?"
"She eats the food I cook no less than she eats the food you cook."
Chen Ya was not happy when she heard Tang Xianshu's words.
"You still have the nerve to say it, but I'll just tell you why she dares to run out every time she quarrels with me."
"Is it all hidden with you?"
Not to be outdone, Tang Xianshu replied:
"Xu Ji doesn't hide in your house every time he's afraid of being beaten by me?"
Chen Ya: "That's not because your education method of beating and scolding is wrong."
......
The two women in their fifties seemed like children, each talking to each other.
"Pfft~"
Suddenly, both Tang Xianshu and Chen Ya couldn't help laughing.
"Teacher Chen, in fact, the children have grown up."
"We are also old."
"If you can't control it, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Tang Xianshu seemed to be persuading Tang Xianshu at this time, but also seemed to be sighing for herself.
"Yes, we are all old."
Chen Ya couldn't help but sigh.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Ya finally spoke out what was in her heart.
"Actually, I'm not against Tongtong becoming a singer."
"It's just a vanity fair in the entertainment industry, it's too chaotic."
"I'm afraid that she will suffer and be wronged."
Tang Xianshu responded promptly:
"Isn't this my son?"
Chen Ya: "Your son is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
"You don't like to study or talk about it, and you also lead my daughter into trouble. How many troubles did she get into when she was at school?"
When Tang Xianshu heard the other party talking about her son, she was about to refute.
But I heard Chen Ya continue to say:
"But..."
"If it's about Tongtong, then he's quite reliable."
Tang Xianshu was stunned for a moment, and then asked:
"You mean, in fact, you don't object to Tongtong becoming a singer now?"
Chen Ya: "What's the use of opposing?"
"Both of them have started their own companies."
"If I really can't survive anymore and go bankrupt, I will naturally come back."
Tang Xianshu asked with some confusion: "Then why are you and Tongtong..."
Only halfway through, Tang Xianshu reacted.
It must be Chen Ya who couldn't help but take the initiative to contact her daughter.
"You told me earlier!"
"Leave this matter to me!"
"I will ask Tongtong to call you tomorrow."
"I promise to get your relationship back to normal."
Tang Xianshu looked like she was wrapped around me.
......
Sha Jingyuan and Xu Jiakang looked puzzled. How could they, who had not spoken a word before entering the kitchen, act like good sisters when they came out?
The New Year's Eve dinner between the two families was much more sumptuous than the usual New Year celebrations. Two people became four people, and it was also a lot more lively.
"The Spring Festival Gala seems to be about to begin!"
"Teacher Chen, turn on the TV quickly."
Tang Xianshu looked excited.
Xu Jiakang said helplessly from the side: "There is still half an hour."
"And Xiaoji and Tongtong's programs seem to be broadcast later."
Tang Xianshu: "You are the only one who talks a lot!"
Xu Jiakang was glared at and immediately stopped talking.
Sha Jingyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw his friend's appearance.
But soon he found that his arm hurt and was pinched by Chen Ya.
The smile then disappeared.
At this moment, Tang Xianshu's cell phone rang.
After she picked it up, she said happily:
"It's a video call from my son!"
Tang Xianshu quickly got through.
"Mom, why are you at Teacher Chen's house?"
At this time, in the waiting room backstage of the Spring Festival Gala, Xu Ji could tell at a glance that his mother's background was not his own, but Sha Yetong's.
Tang Xianshu cursed: "You stinky boy!"
"Did you come to Teacher Chen every day?"
"Why is it so familiar? You can tell it at a glance?"
After hearing this, Xu Ji just laughed twice and said nothing.
"By the way, where's Tongtong?"
Tang Xianshu asked.
Sha Yetong's head came to Xu Ji's side in time.
"Auntie, happy New Year!"
Tang Xianshu was much happier seeing Sha Yetong than Xu Ji.
He greeted with a smile on his face: "Tongtong, happy New Year to you too!"
"Auntie will send you a red envelope later, remember to receive it!"
"By the way, Tongtong, look who this is."
Chen Ya, who was peeking at the phone screen with a curious face, was pulled over by Tang Xianshu.
Sha Yetong didn't expect that her mother would suddenly appear, and she subconsciously wanted to shrink her head in fear.
"Wait a minute, Tongtong, your mother has something to tell you."
Tang Xianshu quickly shouted.
Sha Yetong whispered: "I won't go back..."
Seeing that Chen Ya didn't speak for a long time, Tang Xianshu quickly touched her with her elbow.
Xu Ji heard the voice asking him and Sha Yetong to prepare at the scene, and he said to his mobile phone:
"Mom, Teacher Chen, the Spring Festival Gala performance will start soon, we have to get ready."
"If you have anything to say, we can wait until the Spring Festival Gala is over..."
Just when Xu Ji was about to hang up, Sha Yetong suddenly heard his mother Chen Ya say:
"Wait."
"Tongtong..."
"Spring Festival Gala... Good luck with the Spring Festival Gala performances!"
