On the Best Ways to Punish a Playful Ex

Since New Year's Day, there are faint signs of the new crown virus being ready to go, and sporadic diagnoses have been reported in many places across the country.In order to prevent the epidemic, people working in foreign countries have been advised to stay in the local area for the New Year and try not to go home, so as to avoid a new wave of viruses brought by the transportation peak.

Shen Zhengying took the subway to her parents' house with bags of food and food.She was mentally prepared to spend New Year's Eve at home with Jiang Yuming, but due to emotion and reason, she should go home before the Spring Festival.

What is the old saying?There are no wrong parents in the world.

The more I study psychology, the more I feel that the old sayings are farting.The old saying is to imprison people in the family from all angles and all-encompassing.These words came from Jiang Yuming's mouth, and by the way, they told Shen Zhengying that the long-disappeared parents were a disaster for the Douban group.

As a mother, Shen Zhengying felt a little harsh.

It is undeniable that although there are many factors in a person's growth process, the pain brought by the original family to children is far more than others.Many people spend their entire lives battling their family of origin.Even if you realize that the problem is related to your parents, it is not easy to find a solution.Not to mention external pressure, even my own heart will always have illusions or deny myself, and keep telling myself: After all, they are parents.

Stepping into the door of the parents' house, the smell of decay and pickle came to the face, making people sick.I don't know if it's because it's been a long time since I came to my parents' house last time, Shen Zhengying was not used to it for a while, and stopped at the door for a long time before suppressing the feeling of nausea.This time she could actually tell that the unpleasant smell came from two places, one was the cold weather, the window was open for less time to breathe, the objective smell in the house, and the other was mental pressure.

According to Jiang Yuming, every time he entered his grandparents' house, it was like entering an ancestral hall.And his identity is not a grandson, but a little daughter-in-law from outside, who will be made a rule at any time.Hearing this for the first time after New Year's Day, Shen Zhengying didn't know whether to lament that her son's imagination was too rich or his mind was too detached.Unexpectedly, after only a month, when she stepped into the house again, she would have the same feeling as her son.

It was exactly two o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at my parents' house. The two elders had already woken up after their afternoon nap, walked around the house vigorously, and when they saw Shen Zhengying coming to deliver things, their originally relaxed and laughing faces suddenly became serious.

Shen Zhengying sighed secretly, even the unfilial son next door who gambled and lost a house at home would not be treated like her when he returned home.

The cold reception was as expected, and she didn't feel disappointed or sad, and politely called out as usual: "Dad, Mom. Remember that your vitamins and bone strength should be finished, I brought some."

His father, Shen Weiguo, was 71 years old after the Chinese New Year. His hair was gray, and his brows and eyes were still a little bit of the elegance and elegance of his youth.Mother Ye Zhifang was 72 years old after Chinese New Year, with silver hair, thin and tall.

It is said that sons are like mothers and daughters are like fathers. In this family, Shen Zhengying looks like her mother the most, especially the eyes.In the early years, Ye Zhifang was young, she covered her chin and only looked at her eyes. Those who are not familiar with her would definitely confuse the two.

The biggest difference between the mother and daughter lies in their temperament. Ye Zhifang has sharp eyes and always gives people the feeling of a powerful old lady, while Shen Zhengying's eyebrows are affectionate when he does not put on a gesture of repelling others thousands of miles away.

The two elders have just turned [-]. Apart from the general decline in physical functions of the elderly, there is no major problem. They are in good health and have good hearing and eyesight.

Shen Zhengying once proposed to ask a nurse or aunt to take care of her at home, but both elders rejected it under the strong opposition of her sister-in-law Qian Qing. The old people save more, no matter who pays the money, they always feel reluctant.They can take care of themselves and have no special requirements for food. There is a community canteen in the community for the elderly to take care of. Three meals a day are very convenient.

"Usually you come here in the morning." Mother Ye Zhifang sat on the sofa and said casually.

Shen Zhengying couldn't figure out if there was something in her words, so she interpreted it literally, and explained: "I ordered a mobile phone to be delivered in the afternoon, and the time should be almost here."

"You're spending money indiscriminately, we don't need this kind of thing."

"Your grinder didn't work well before. This time, you can change it to a new one. It can be crushed even more and it is more convenient to eat. How can I spend money on you. By the way, Mom, this winter is very cold, you usually don't worry too much. If you want to save money, you should turn on the air conditioner."

Shen Weiguo was not happy when he heard that the air conditioner was turned on. "We're not afraid of the cold. It's not cold. Turning on the air conditioner makes it extremely stuffy, and we can't breathe."

Talking about turning on the air conditioner is just a cliché, and the answer is the same every time.Shen Zhengying didn't know why she had to say something, maybe it was too cold to come into the house, or maybe she had nothing to say to her parents, so she could only say caring words, and the cycle repeated.

She would feel uncomfortable being bounced back so coldly by her parents.This time it's better, it's more like a cutscene, I said it, the obligation has been fulfilled, that's it.

What else can she do.

After a few gossips about the weather and the virus, Shen Weiguo's face finally softened, "This year's New Year's Eve we eat at home, and it's full of viruses outside, so it's not safe. Come early to help your sister-in-law, it's hard for her to do it alone. "

Shen Zhengying thought to himself: Qian Qing is not good at cooking, he either eats hot pot at home or eats semi-finished dishes in restaurants, he doesn't have a lot of tricks, so it's hard to say.However, when her father asked her to come back earlier, it was always an act of reconciliation. For the elderly, he hoped that the family would be peaceful and happy.She also responded with a smile.

"Let Mingming apologize to his aunt. What happened last time is over. He is a junior after all, so he shouldn't be so rude to his elders."

Shen Zhengying's heart sank, and he didn't answer.

His father continued to say: "You too. I am a teacher. I have to be strict with my son and discipline him more. How can I make him so rude. Tell me that Mr. Shen's son, Mr. Shen's grandson and Mr. Ye's grandson are so rude. Tutor, it’s our family’s face that’s lost.”

To Shen Weiguo, not having a tutor and losing face to the whole family is an extremely severe accusation.Shen Zhengying and Shen Zhenghui have been raised and warned since they were young, and they are cautious, for fear that they will lose face to the whole family by doing something without a tutor.Hearing his father say this to her son, Shen Zhengying felt it was ridiculous.Jiang Yuming moved his mouth, but Qian Qing did it, smashing cups, bowls and soup.

"It's obviously pretty good, I don't feel ashamed. If he sees his mother being bullied and keeps silent, he will be ashamed of having no tutor." Without passing through his brain, Shen Zhengying blurted out, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone.Surprised that I was either right or right, and found that my parents' face changed while refuting their words.

"Shen Zhengying, no wonder Mingming jumped out. It's because you usually instill in him the idea that you are being bullied. This makes sense." Shen Weiguo was heartbroken, "Who bullied you? It was me, your mother, your brother or you Sister-in-law and nephew!"

"Okay, old Shen, don't say a few words." Ye Zhifang looked up at Shen Zhengying, "Do you think your sister-in-law's introducing someone to you is a kind of bullying?"

Shen Zhengying remained silent.

In fact, she was more afraid of her mother than her father when she was a child.Ye Zhifang has a pair of eyes that see through everything, and her eyes are always full of scrutiny.In front of Teacher Ye, she often felt that she had made a mistake, otherwise why would her mother not have warmth in her eyes.It's better to be Teacher Ye's students. Even Teacher Ye's students will face the same scrutiny, but at least they can gain some of Teacher Ye's care and warmth.

"Yingying, do you know how thankless it is to introduce someone to you?"

"No one asked her to do that."

"It's me, your mother asked me. I'll take care of her again and again, and I'll pay attention to you when I see something good."

"Oh, so in the eyes of my sister-in-law, those are considered good."

"You're getting old, and you have a son, so..."

"Mom!" Shen Zhengying interrupted her mother's words. Normally, she would only hear someone leave, but today she couldn't listen to a word. "I told you a long time ago that I don't want to remarry. Why don't you always listen to me?"

"I have taught you since I was a child, you have to listen patiently and don't interrupt when others are talking. Why can't you always remember?"

Again.

Even though she has retired for a long time, Teacher Ye is still immersed in the old days of teaching and advising people, as if it is her bounden duty to educate people with a straight face, and what she says is also a golden rule, and the other party must listen.If she doesn't listen, she will put on a pity face that a child can't teach.Talk to your husband like this, talk to your children like this.

In the past, Shen Zhengying must bow her head and admit her mistakes, even if she didn't feel logically wrong, she would feel guilty to some extent, but this time she took a deep breath and said, "Maybe it's like you, inherited, and can't remember what others say."

"That's how you talk to your mother!"

Shen Weiguo has shown an angry face, Ye Zhifang is still calm with the presence of the old god, a little more helpless now. "If you don't get married, who will take care of you when you get old and sick? Do you expect Ming Ming? If you don't get married, what will others think of you? If you don't get married, you will always be a divorced woman, you know. Yingying, I am also doing it for your own good."

There was clearly no word of condemnation, but it was full of condemnation. That tone, that expression, clearly said that Shen Zhengying didn't know good from bad, and there was no cure.

For her good?No, no, that's all they care about.

"Mom, if you really want to be good for me, don't let my sister-in-law worry about it. I'm the one who decides the marriage. Please don't worry about it."

Ye Zhifang sneered, "You make up your own mind. Last time you made up your own mind and didn't go straight to get married. The result? Divorced. Whatever you say is what you say. After what happened last time, your sister-in-law will no longer be thankless. thing."

Shen Weiguo said in a deep voice: "No matter what, let Mingming apologize to your sister-in-law on the day of the New Year's Eve dinner."

It was hard to tell whether it was disappointment or something else, Shen Zhengying just wanted to leave, but fortunately the courier who delivered the broken phone rescued her in time.

After receiving the courier, he didn't show his parents how to operate it like before, but put the things on the wall. Shen Zhengying said: "If you want to apologize to Qian Qing, Qian Qing must also apologize to Mingming. That day, it was She did it first."

"How is that possible? There is no reason for an elder to apologize to a junior."

"Is it the right thing to apologize to the wrong one?"

Shen Weiguo couldn't believe that these words came out of his daughter's mouth. He pointed at her for a while and said, "How did you become like this? It doesn't make sense. If you insist, then on the eve of the night, you don't Come, even if you come, it will only make everyone unhappy."

"dad!"

Ye Zhifang frowned, didn't interrupt, just glanced at Shen Zhengying.

Shen Zhengying shook her head, took out two red envelopes from her pocket and put them on the table, zipped up the down jacket, fastened the smoky gray scarf that she hadn't taken off since entering the house, and said calmly, "Then I wish you all a Happy New Year first."
