Chapter 24 Excuses

It was rare for my father to show his strong side in front of my mother, stopping her from returning to the bedroom. Seeing the anger in my mother's eyes getting stronger and stronger, my father still couldn't bear the pressure and begged with a wry smile:

It’s rare for the family to have a meal together. If there is anything we can say after the meal, can we finish it?

Finally, my mother sighed slowly and sat down at the dining table with an expressionless face. During this process, my mother didn't look at me at all. I was very depressed and shouted with grievance:

Mom~

My mother didn't speak or look at me, so my dad quickly sat down to smooth things over:

Try them all and see how my craftsmanship is.

After my mother took the first bite, I picked up a piece of meat and put it in my mouth. I was so tired and hungry that I suddenly felt that this was the most delicious thing in the world. I couldn't help but want to eat it, but I didn't want to be too excited in front of my mother.

My father gave my mother a spoonful of egg custard, and my mother took a bite with expressionless face. My father asked immediately:

Wife, how does it taste?

Mom nodded indifferently and said that it was not bad. Dad smiled happily and said:

That's right. No matter how big the matter is, it's not important to eat. Son, you can eat too.

Looking at the warm scene, the food in my mouth suddenly became extremely bitter. From beginning to end, my mother didn't say a word. The only emotional action was because of the delicious meal made by my father.

The air was terriblely quiet, and the sound of chopsticks and bowls made clear sounds. My father might think the atmosphere was too weird and asked tentatively:

Wife, what mistake did your son make?Is it so angry that you are so angry?Tell me, I will teach him a lesson for you.

Bang!

My father's words seemed to ignite the explosive barrel. My mother suddenly threw the bowl on the table. Her expression, which was finally slightly emotional, became cold again, keeping people from thousands of miles away. Listening to the trembling sound, I was extremely scared and could no longer eat a bite of food.

Facing the mother's reaction, my father seemed very embarrassed. He wanted to say but didn't know what to say, and finally turned into two words: Eat.

My mother didn't move her chopsticks, and I didn't dare to move her chopsticks. Seeing that I didn't move her chopsticks, my father naturally wouldn't move her chopsticks either. This scene was a bit like giving three prisoners the last meal of a dead head, strange and funny.

I am like a fish in your lotus pond, just to wait for the bright white moonlight with you... A cell phone ringtone cut through the silent air, it was my mother's phone call.

My mother took out her cell phone, and the willow eyebrows above her right eye frowned slightly, and finally picked up her cell phone to answer the phone.

Teacher Wang’s tone was very plain. This was the first thing I heard my mother say in the past few days, or maybe the first thing my mother said. At the same time, it also made me curious about what Teacher Wang was going to say when he called.

you say

I see.

goodbye.

After two or three minutes of call, my mother only responded to three very brief sentences. I carefully observed my mother's expression and finally found that my mother's black eyebrows stretched a little. It seemed that what Teacher Wang said was pretty good, at least she did not criticize me.

My dad may have discovered this and asked carefully:

The teacher called...what did he say?

My mother looked forward and did not respond to her father. After a while, she turned to look at me and said coldly:

The teacher praised you for your progress and entered the top 100 grade.

I was stunned. Did my mother talk to me?

At this moment, my mother's words were like a warm sunshine scattered on me in the ice cellar. Although my mother's tone was still unemotional, I still made me very happy. If it were in the past, my mother would definitely show her pride and gratitude, and I would also take the opportunity to seek merit and reward.

But it is obvious that it is not the time to seek credit. I followed the clues and said weakly and sincerely:

I will work harder, and I will strive for it next time... No, I will definitely enter the top 50 next time.

My dad also took the opportunity to say:

Yes, you see that my son is becoming more and more sensible. This time he made such great progress, he must have put in effort.

My mother ignored my promise and my father's encouragement, and instead picked up the chopsticks and picked up a dish again. I was not disappointed, but was extremely happy. Although my mother didn't seem to have changed, based on my understanding of her, she should be feeling a little better at this moment.

Just because it was a little better, I kept thanking Teacher Wang for delivering such a critical good news at such a critical point in time.

This time I took five days off, and I have paid for these five days of meals!My dad didn't forget to take the opportunity to add a ton of the warmer atmosphere.

During the next meal, my mother never said a word, but at least, my mother started eating and ate two bowls of rice. I also felt much better and ate two bowls of rice with my mother.

After dinner, my mother went back to the bedroom, and I took the initiative to quit and wash the dishes. After that, I took a shower and soaked in the greasy Internet cafe these days. The smell was really big. I washed it for nearly an hour before I returned to the living room and sat up next to my dad. I felt very depressed and heavy.

My dad took out a cigarette and lit it. He looked a little haggard and confused. He took a few puffs before asking leisurely:

What did you make mistakes that made your mother so angry?

What mistakes did you make?What I made is not a mistake, but a sin. I thought so, but it was impossible to tell my father the truth. How should I answer in silence? My father's eyes became more and more confused...

I... I was caught by my mother in love early.

I made up a reason that I thought it was OK, but my dad didn't believe it at all. He took two puffs of cigarettes and put them in the ashtray, and said in confusion:

Early love?Early love... It's really wrong, but your mother shouldn't be so angry.

Indeed, my parents also came from my age. Early love is not a serious sin in their hearts. My brain is running rapidly, thinking about creating a reasonable reason. Under my father's increasingly confused gaze, he said:

I called the female classmate home, and then...and when I was doing that... I was caught by my mother.

I squeezed out two tears and tried to tell the lie very truthfully. My father disappeared most of his doubts when he heard this and said:

So that's it, you did too much... Dad was not very angry, and I think so, men and women have different thinking in this regard. I will continue to add fire to make this lie more real:

When I was secretly dating that female classmate before... my mother had already discovered that she told me that I was not allowed to fall in love, but I...but not only did I not listen, I also did such a thing... Will mom not forgive me...
