Chapter 798 Mother-in-law 22
Zhao Qichen never really waited in the restaurant like an uncle. He went to the room to change out of his suit and came to the kitchen wearing simple short-sleeved trousers: "Let me help you. What can I do?"
The corners of Cheng Qingci's mouth turned up slightly: "Then you serve the rice, I'll be ready soon."
Zhao Qichen hummed: "The soup pot is very hot. I'll pick it up later. Don't move."
"Okay, I won't argue with you," Cheng Qingci put down the spoon: "At home, my dad cooks and my mom washes the dishes, but she can't wash a few dishes and there is a dishwasher. But usually things like carrying soup pots, It’s all done by my dad.”
Zhao Qichen turned his back to her and served the rice. When he heard these words, he sincerely praised: "Uncle and aunt have such a good relationship,"
Cheng Qingci turned to look at him and only saw Zhao Qichen's back: "It's very common. Many people's homes are like this."
Zhao Qichen just responded softly, and Cheng Qingci suddenly thought of Zhao Qichen's information. His parents seemed to have divorced early in his life? Thinking of this, Cheng Qingci suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Zhao Qichen also noticed Cheng Qingci's strange silence. He couldn't help but smile: "These are none of your business, so you don't have to take it to heart."
Cheng Qingci turned off the heat and said while loading the plate: "I just feel embarrassed, as if it made you sad."
"It's not that sad," Zhao Qichen raised his eyebrows: "I have reconciled with my past self a long time ago. It is a good thing that they divorced. Before they became my parents, they were themselves first."
"They just don't live together anymore, but they are still very caring and responsible for my education. I won't blame them for this."
Cheng Qingci stared at him, and when Zhao Qichen couldn't bear it, she said: "I don't complain, but I still have some regrets, right?"
Zhao Qichen took out a tissue and wiped his hands: "You are really very perceptive, and I do feel a little sorry. Because the very common scenes you described are almost non-existent in my memory."
"Because they separated too early, and I was too young at that time to remember. When you described those things to me, it was difficult for me to have a picture in my mind."
Cheng Qingci's eyes kept changing, and finally she let out a long sigh. Zhao Qichen was confused: "What's wrong?"
Cheng Qingci had already carried the dinner plate to the restaurant. After both of them sat down, Cheng Qingci said: "My mother told me before that you should not feel sorry for a man, otherwise he will become unlike yourself. I didn't understand at that time , now I understand a little bit about it.”
Zhao Qichen raised his eyebrows slightly, then laughed: "Do you feel sorry for me? There seems to be a story behind your words."
Cheng Qingci thought for a while: "A bit, my dad is the second eldest child in the family. There is an older brother above him and a younger brother below him. Generally speaking, the eldest son and the youngest are the most favored by their parents, while those in the middle are easily ignored."
"My dad was like that. He had a pretty bad life in the past anyway." Cheng Qingci said lightly: "Then he met my mom. My mom had always been short-tempered. She was separated from my dad not long after we got married. , there was a lot of commotion at that time, and they were almost driven out empty-handed.”
"I heard from my dad that I wasn't even born when we separated. At that time, my mom went out to look for a house and helped my grandparents in their shop. It was very hard."
"Later, after I was born, my mother left early and came home late every day. My father was just working as a teaching assistant at the university at that time, and the family mortgage was paid off entirely with my father's salary."
"My mother is still looking for part-time jobs to make the family more relaxed. In my memory, no matter how late my mother works overtime, my father will pick her up at night. Even now, as long as my mother doesn't come home on time, my father I had to make a phone call or go out to pick her up. "It wasn't until I was in elementary school that my mother met Jiang Jun's mother, and they started working together. The conditions at home gradually improved, and my father also started working together. Gradually slow down and start to cooperate with my mother’s work.”
Zhao Qichen listened to Cheng Qingci say these words and was a little confused about what she meant.
Cheng Qingci began to summarize: "My father has a gentle personality and doesn't care about things. When I was a child, I didn't understand why my mother was with my father. Later I asked her and my mother told me the reason."
Zhao Qichen raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
"Before she got married, my mother followed my grandparents in setting up a stall and started a small business. She has been strong since she was a child. At that time, my grandparents opened a noodle shop near the university, and my mother has been helping in the shop."
"One time, the store was about to close, and my dad went to the store and ordered a bowl of simple noodles. He was still a sophomore in college at that time. My mother was the only one in the store that day, and she served it to him. My dad was holding the bowl of noodles and crying while eating. ”
"My mother said she had never seen a grown man cry like that. Later, when she asked the reason, she found out that my uncle was getting married. My grandparents took all the money my dad earned from working around in college and gave it to my uncle to get married."

"The college tuition he had saved for so long was all gone. His emotional breakdown happened at that moment. My dad almost collapsed at that time."
"I still remember my mother's expression," Cheng Qingci put down her chopsticks: "She said that the moment she saw my father's tears, she suddenly felt extremely sad. At that time, she made up her mind never to let this person in front of her ever again. The boy cried, and she wanted to protect him. ”
"Your mother is very brave," Zhao Qichen also put down his chopsticks: "So you are very happy now."

"Yes, we have always been happy," Cheng Qingci glanced at him: "I used to think that my mother's words were alarmist. I couldn't imagine that one day I would feel sorry for a man. But now I find that it has become different. Myself, I don’t usually talk that much.”
The smile on Zhao Qichen's lips deepened: "Then let's talk about something else. If you don't talk about these sad things, you will still be the same person. Apart from dubbing work, do you have any other hobbies? In addition to making snacks and studying cooking skills Outside? ”
"That's reading," Cheng Qingci saw Zhao Qichen clearing the table and wanted to get up to help. After being stopped by Zhao Qichen's eyes, she watched from the side and finally wiped the dining table clean.
Zhao Qichen also started talking about his usual schedule: "I usually go out to exercise after get off work or on my days off. I have many friends, and we often get together on my days off."
"I don't like to go to places that are too noisy. It makes my head hurt."
Cheng Qingci leaned against the bar: "Then do you like visiting museums or science and technology museums?"
"I like it," Zhao Qichen put away the washed dishes: "I especially like visiting the history museum."
"That's a coincidence," Cheng Qingci said while pouring tea: "I have been going to various museums since I was a child. You and my dad should have a lot to talk about. He teaches history."
