He quietly and carefully cleaned the garbage on the ground, trying to lower his voice so as not to disturb Pei Zhen. After cleaning, he turned around and caught Pei Zhen’s gaze.
Mom has been watching him…
Realizing this, Pei Jing was a little at a loss for a moment. He packed up the garbage in his hand. Pei Jing turned his head carefully to look at Pei Zhen and asked, “Mom, have you eaten?”
Pei Zhen’s voice was hoarse: “No.”
Pei Jing said: “There are instant noodles at home, does Mom want to eat them?”
Pei Zhen nodded, then turned her head, and closed her eyes.
After throwing away the garbage, Pei Jing found the instant noodles, opened the refrigerator, and took out an egg. These were all delivered by takeaway before Pei Zhen left, but the egg was not broken yet.
The stove in the kitchen was high and not suitable for children to cook. Pei Jing found a small bench and stepped on it to fry eggs.
He can cook very basic food, such as cooking rice, scrambled eggs, and vegetables. All of which were taught by his grandmother.
Grandma had to go out to collect garbage. She was very tired and had to cook when she came back. Pei Jing started to learn to cook by himself, which could make Grandma more relaxed. Pei Jing knew that Grandma went to collect garbage every day to save his school expenses.
After frying the eggs, Pei Jing used a spatula to scoop them up and put them in a bowl. He then added water to the hot pot to cook instant noodles.
He was very skilled at doing this. But after all, he was not tall enough, so it was still a bit difficult to do it. Finally, he picked up the noodles and put them in a bowl with eggs.
He pressed his hand on the stove and carefully stepped on the stool, ready to wake Pei Zhen up. But when he turned around, he saw the figure standing by the door.
“Mom, the noodles are ready.” Pei Jing’s voice was a little low.
Pei Zhen’s eyes were reddish, and her eyes were complicated. They fell on Pei Jing for a long time before she took them back. She sat at the table with a straight face, but Pei Jing stayed in the kitchen.
Now that the external crisis has been resolved, Pei Jing did not want to see Pei Zhen, so he stood by the kitchen window and looked out. Over there was the Ningyi family’s house. He did not know what they were doing now.
“Pei Jing, come here.” Pei Jing heard his mother’s voice. He walked out silently and found Pei Zhen eating instant noodles. When mixing the noodles with chopsticks, she found the fried egg at the bottom and stopped.
“Come over.”
Pei Jing sat next to Pei Zhen and then heard his mother ask: “Have you eaten yet?”
Pei Jing nodded: “I have eaten.”
He did not know why his mother asked this today because he had never received such care before. He was even more afraid that his mother would punish him if he knew that he was eating at Ningyi’s house.
But, Pei Zhen asked again: “How do you know how to fry eggs?”
Pei Jing said, “Grandma taught me.”
Pei Zhen asked: “I’ve been away for a few days, do you still have enough money?”
Pei Jing squeezed the hem of his clothes: “That’s enough.”
Pei Zhen stood up, and Pei Jing’s eyes fell on her. He saw her opening her bag, taking out many one-hundred-dollar bills, and giving them to him: “Take them.”
This money was a large amount of money for Pei Jing. He shook his head and refused: “I don’t need so much. I only spend a small amount of money.”
Pei Jing doesn’t want his mother to think that he is a waste of money. His grandmother doesn’t want him anymore. He only has his mother as a relative now. If his mother also abandons him, he won’t be able to live. Pei Jing knows his situation clearly.
But, Pei Zhen thrust it at him roughly: “You can take it away if I give it to you.”
Only then did Pei Jing carefully spread out the money, fold it, and put it in his pocket. He thought that his mother might have to go out for a long time this time, but the money would be enough for him to use for a long, long time.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Pei Jing took the bowl and washed it. The tap water washed over the bowl in his hand. The water flowed loudly. Pei Jing heard his mother’s voice.
“Pei Jing, how are you doing these days?”
Pei Zhen had never cared about this before, and Pei Jing replied cautiously: “Have a good life.”
“Okay, stop washing and go to do your homework.”
Pei Zhen strode over, snatched the unwashed bowl from Pei Jing’s hand, and drove Pei Jing out of the kitchen.
Standing outside, Pei Jing was a little dazed for a moment. He could sense his mother’s different emotions, but his mother seemed to have changed today.
Pei Jing woke up the next morning, packed his schoolbag, and went out. When he arrived in the living room, he unexpectedly found breakfast on the table, including bread and milk.
Pei Zhen walked out of the kitchen with a calm expression: “Eat, I’ll take you to school after you eat.”
Pei Jing was stunned.
This is the first time that Pei Jing has breakfast at home after moving. He bought breakfast outside the school a long time ago, and then he ate at Ningyi’s house. Today, his mother is going to send him to school. He thinks all this is incredible.
