Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chen Jianyan, who counted the days, felt anxious. This was the first time since he was born that his father had been away from him for such a long time. The family had been busy during this period, and he wished his father would come back soon. When his father was away, his mother didn't feel sorry for him. She would just say that he was a real man and couldn't bear such hardship.

Chen Jianyan was walking back to the village after school with his schoolbag on his back, and Zhang Zhuangzhuang was walking with him.

Although Zhang Zhuangzhuang didn't believe what Zhang Cuihua said, he was still a little worried about Chen Jianyan. After all, in his eyes, Chen Jianyan was his good brother. "Chen Jianyan, when will your father come back?"

"It should take another day or two." This was what his father promised him, but there was no point in asking.

"But." Zhang Zhuangzhuang stuttered and was a little afraid to say what he heard.

"But what?" Chen Jianyan turned around and frowned at him. He must have heard his aunt talking nonsense again.

Seeing Zhang Zhuangzhuang's hesitation and reluctance to speak, he got angry and said, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"I'm afraid you'll be angry." Zhang Zhuangzhuang still didn't dare.

"I will be angry if you do this, tell me quickly, and I won't be angry if you tell me."

"Everyone in the village says that your father will be like the educated youth in the village chief's family in the neighboring village. Once he goes home, he will never come back and will no longer want his wife and children." This matter was widely circulated, and there was more than one case.

There was also a female educated youth in their village who was getting a divorce recently and wanted to take her daughter away. However, because it was just a daughter, the other party agreed.

"Hmph, my dad wouldn't do that." Chen Jianyan certainly knew what had happened in the village recently.

Chen Jianyan didn't get angry with him, but he still felt that Zhang Zhuangzhuang shouldn't listen to other people's nonsense. He kicked the pebbles under his feet as he walked.

Zhang Zhuangzhuang didn't say anything. Actually, his aunt was also talking nonsense at home, but because she couldn't be idle at home, she cursed less. The clothes at home were all torn by her washing. His mother said she did it on purpose, and the two quarreled again. When she was cooking, his aunt smashed the bowls at home again.

There were enough bowls originally, but one was broken at every meal. Zhang Zhuangzhuang felt that her grandfather was even angrier than before she was asked to work.

So he was a little afraid to go home. As soon as he got home, he stayed in the room with his younger aunt to do his homework. His younger aunt wrote very quickly and went to help cook after finishing. But his older aunt was mean and he saw his older aunt pushing his younger aunt.

Grandpa also saw it, so he never let my aunt help her with work again.

Zhang Zhuangzhuang was actually quite happy, even though he didn't help much.

Zhang Zhuangzhuang looked at a familiar figure walking towards him from a distance. At first he thought he was seeing things, but when he rubbed his eyes, he realized it was Chen Jianyan's father.

He ran to Chen Jianyan's side and tugged at his sleeve, "Chen Jianyan, look over there."

Chen Jianyan said, "What's so interesting on the road over there? It's just cows and dad!"

"Dad!" Chen Jianyan ran very fast.

He should have arrived in the morning, but he missed the return bus, so he waited until the afternoon. Add to that the excessive amount of things he was carrying in his hands and on his back, and Chen Xuyan looked unusually disheveled.

"Dad, why did you come back today?" Chen Jianyan quickly took some of the things in Chen Xuyan's hand.

"You bought so many things, Mom will be angry when you get home." But he was happy, because there was no shortage of food and fun, but it was too tiring for Dad to carry them all the way back.

"Something happened, so I came back early."

"Where is your mother?" Chen Xuyan asked.

"Mom is busy, but she must be home by now and cooking."

"Chen Jianyan, I'll leave first." Zhang Zhuangzhuang felt a little uneasy.

"Zhuangzhuang, come to my house and play for a while." Chen Jianyan looked at Chen Xuyan. This matter still needed his father's consent.

Chen Xuyan nodded.

"That's not good. I have to go home for dinner." Zhang Zhuangzhuang felt a little embarrassed. Although Chen Jianyan sometimes invited him, he always felt that it would be inappropriate for him to go and it would cause trouble.

"Then you can leave your schoolbag at my house first, and then go back and tell your dad that you will do your homework together and have dinner at my house later." Chen Jianyan grabbed Zhang Zhuangzhuang and stopped him from leaving, as if to say, "If you don't agree, you can't leave today."

"Well, okay then." He agreed.

"Just put it with my schoolbag, and go tell your parents." Chen Jianyan took Zhang Zhuangzhuang into his room.

"Okay." He turned and left without even looking at Zhang Zhuangzhuang.

"Hurry up." Chen Jianyan urged from behind.

Zhang Zhuangzhuang waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

"Mom, I'm back." Zhang Ni didn't bother to pay attention to him when she heard the voice. He was back, so what was the big deal?

Seeing the stillness in the kitchen, Chen Jianyan called out again, "Dad is back too."

"Bang." The door outside the kitchen was pushed open with force, and Zhang Ni didn't even have time to put down the spatula in her hand.

As soon as Chen Xuyan unloaded his things, he saw Zhang Ni running towards him noisily.

Zhang Ni originally thought that Chen Jianyan would not dare to make such a joke. If he really lied to her, then she would have to wait for a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork today.

"Why are you back?" Zhang Ni calculated that there were still two days left, but she still couldn't help but be happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.

"She met my elder brother, and he brought the things out to me directly." Chen Xuyan couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this.

"Forget it, talk to me again tonight and I'll quickly cook a few more dishes." Fortunately, she bought the vegetables in advance today, otherwise there would be nothing to eat when he came back.

"By the way, Xiaoyan brought a child to eat later."

"Zhang Zhuangzhuang?" Zhang Ni thought of someone.

"Correct."

Zhang Ni knew this child, who always played with Chen Jianyan. Chen Jianyan also talked about him all the time, calling him Zhang Zhuangzhuang this and Zhang Zhuangzhuang that every day.

"Okay." She had no reason to object. Chen Jianyan would do whatever he wanted, and she would have a way to deal with it later.

"You bought too many things." Zhang Ni felt that her previous purchases were exaggerated, but today's purchases were definitely the most exaggerated. There were so many big and small bags that they took up half of the room.

"What a loser."

Chen Xuyan felt a little guilty, "Some were bought by my elder brother, and some were given by my teacher."

Zhang Ni stopped talking and said, "I'm going to go cook now. We'll talk after we finish eating."

Chen Jianyan, who was hiding at the door with a nervous look on his face, finally felt relieved. It was his father who had to take action, otherwise his mother would definitely not give him face. A child's face is also very important, okay?

Only after seeing Zhang Ni walk into the kitchen did Chen Jianyan dare to walk out stealthily.

"Dad, what did you buy?"

Chen Jianyan was eager to try it out and couldn't wait to open them one by one and take a look.

"This is what I bought for you. Take this one to mom and dad's room." Chen Xuyan pointed to the things on the ground.

"Okay." Chen Jianyan moved the things with great effort, not feeling tired at all.
