When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 798 Mother-in-law 22
Zhao Qichen didn't really wait in the restaurant like a big shot. He went to his room to change out of his suit, and came to the kitchen in simple short-sleeved shirts and long pants: "Let me help you, what can I do?"

Cheng Qingci's mouth curled up slightly: "Then you serve the rice, I'm almost done here."

Zhao Qichen hummed: "The soup pot is very hot, I will take it over later, don't move."

"Okay, I won't argue with you," Cheng Qingci put down the soup spoon, "At home, my dad cooks and my mom washes the dishes, but she can't wash many dishes, and we have a dishwasher. But generally, things like carrying the soup pot are done by my dad."

Zhao Qichen was serving rice with his back to her. Hearing this, he exclaimed sincerely: "Uncle and aunt have such a good relationship."

Cheng Qingci turned her head to look at him, and only saw Zhao Qichen's back: "It's very common, many people's families are like this."

Zhao Qichen just responded softly, and Cheng Qingci suddenly thought of Zhao Qichen's information. It seemed that his parents divorced early in 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, you don't have to take it to heart."

Cheng Qingci turned off the fire and said as she plated the food: "I just feel embarrassed, as if I brought up your sad memories."

"I'm not that sad," Zhao Qichen raised his eyebrows, "I've already reconciled with my past self. It's a good thing that they're getting divorced. Before they became my parents, they were themselves first."

"They just don't live together anymore, but they are still very attentive and responsible for my education. I won't blame them for that."

Cheng Qingci stared at him, and when Zhao Qichen couldn't bear it anymore, she said, "I don't complain, but there are always some regrets, right?"

Zhao Qichen took a tissue and wiped his hands: "You are really perceptive. I do feel a little sorry. Because the very common scene you described is almost invisible in my memory."

"Because they separated too early, and I was too young at the time to remember anything. When you described those things to me, it was hard for me to have a clear picture in my mind."

Cheng Qingci's expression kept changing, and finally she sighed deeply. Zhao Qichen was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Cheng Qingci had already carried the meal tray to the restaurant. After they both sat down, Cheng Qingci said, "My mother once told me not to feel sorry for men, because it would make me not myself anymore. I didn't understand it then, but now I understand a little bit."

Zhao Qichen raised his eyebrows slightly, then laughed: "You feel sorry for me? It sounds like there is a story behind what you said."

Cheng Qingci thought for a moment and said, "A little bit. My dad is the second child in the family. He has an older brother and a younger brother. Generally speaking, the eldest and youngest sons are the most favored by their parents, while the ones in the middle are easily neglected."

"My dad is like this. He didn't have a good life in the past anyway." Cheng Qingci said lightly: "Then he met my mom. My mom has always had a bad temper. Not long after she married my dad, she was separated from my grandparents. There was a big fight at that time, and they were almost kicked out with nothing."

"I heard from my dad that I wasn't even born when the family split up. At that time, my mom went out to look for a house while she was pregnant and helped my grandparents in the store. It was very hard."

"After I was born, my mother went out early and came back late every day. My father was just a teaching assistant at the university at that time, and the family mortgage was repaid entirely by my father's salary."

"My mom also had to look for part-time jobs everywhere to make the family more relaxed. As far as I can remember, no matter how late my mom worked overtime, my dad would pick her up at night. Even now, if my mom doesn't come home on time, my dad will call or go out to pick her up." "It wasn't until I was in elementary school that my mom met Jiang Jun's mom, and the two of them started working together. The conditions at home gradually improved, and my dad gradually slowed down and started to cooperate with my mom's work."

Zhao Qichen listened to what Cheng Qingci said and didn't quite understand what she meant.

Cheng Qingci began to summarize: "My father has a gentle personality and doesn't like to care about things. When I was a child, I didn't understand why my mother was with my father. Later, when I asked her, my mother told me the reason."

Zhao Qichen raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"Before my mother got married, she followed my grandparents to set up a stall and do small business. She has been strong since she was young. At that time, my grandparents opened a noodle shop near the university, and my mother has been helping in the shop."

"One time, when the store was about to close, my dad went to the store and ordered a simple bowl of vegetarian noodles. He was still a sophomore at the time. My mom was the only one in the store that day. My mom served him the noodles, but my dad cried while holding the bowl of noodles and eating."

"My mom said she had never seen a grown man cry like that. Later, when she asked why, she found out that my uncle was getting married. My grandparents took all the money my dad earned from working part-time during college to give to my uncle for his wedding."

"He had saved so much money for college tuition, and it was all gone. He had an emotional breakdown at that moment, and my dad almost collapsed at that moment."

"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 not to let the boy in front of her cry again. 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 very happy." Cheng Qingci glanced at him and said, "I used to think 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 I have become unlike myself. I don't usually talk that much."

The smile on Zhao Qichen's face deepened: "Then let's talk about something else. If we don't talk about these sad things, you will still be the same person. Apart from dubbing work, do you have any other hobbies? Besides making snacks and studying cooking?"

"Then read a book," Cheng Qingci saw Zhao Qichen cleaning the table and wanted to get up to help. After Zhao Qichen stopped her with his eyes, she just watched from the side and finally wiped the table clean.

Zhao Qichen also began to talk about his daily schedule: "I usually go out for exercise after get off work or on my days off. I have a lot of friends and we often get together on our days off."

"I don't like going to places that are too noisy. It makes my head hurt."

Cheng Qingci leaned against the bar: "Do you like visiting museums or science and technology museums?"

"I like it," Zhao Qichen put away the washed dishes, "I especially like visiting history museums."

"That's a coincidence," Cheng Qingci said as she poured tea, "I've been visiting various museums since I was a child. You and my dad should have a lot to talk about. He teaches history."
