Chapter 27: Childhood Shadow Reappears
Shen Mo had no idea that Chen Weining and Zhang Zilu were looking for him.

He rode the second-hand electric bike that had been with him for more than a year at full speed all the way back to Xingfuli Community.

I stopped at the RT-Mart supermarket at the north gate of the community to buy some groceries, only to find that my cell phone was turned off.

When you get home, charge it immediately.

Two minutes later.

The cell phone beeped several times in succession.

I picked it up and saw several QQ messages and missed calls.

The first one was a QQ message from my best friend Zhang Bo.

"Brother Mo, Zhang Yueyue asked me to ask you why you suddenly ignored Tang Yating."

"Aren't you going to give her a massage?"

Shen Mo curled his lips.

Recalling that a few days ago, Tang Yating sent me two QQ messages and then withdrew them.

With Tang Yating's proud, princess-like personality, being able to send a message and then withdraw it is already her limit.

Shen Mo could probably guess that she must have complained about this to her best friend Zhang Yueyue.

Zhang Yueyue then asked her dog Zhang Bo to ask her.

These little girls will keep hanging on to boys if they are pursued by them, but will become anxious and worried if there is no one around.

He thought about it and replied.

"There will be a class meeting tomorrow, let's talk about it in person then."

When Ding Gong was digging a well, people spread the news, and the news became more and more confusing.

Just a few words on QQ and it’s not possible.

If we say too much, Zhang Yueyue and the others might end up making things worse.

Zhang Bo did not reply after receiving the message. It is estimated that he was either beating others or being beaten in the Dota world again.

The second one is two missed calls.

When I looked at the numbers, they were all unknown people.

Shen Mo ignored it and thought it was a harassing call.

The third one was a call from my mother Zhou Wanyun.

Shen Mo quickly called back.

"Hey, son, we'll be there in about half an hour."

As soon as I heard the sound, I was on the road, with horns honking continuously.

It was the rush hour after get off work, and there were a lot of vehicles entering and leaving Hangzhou.

"Okay, I'll cook some food and wait for you guys."

"Oh, my son is awesome!"

Zhou Wanyun's voice was full of joy, but she added one more sentence.

"You don't need too much, just some steamed rice and two fried vegetables will be enough. Mom brought some delicious food for you."

"Ah... isn't it that again?" Shen Mo suddenly looked miserable.

"Which one? Don't think too much." Zhou Wanyun's voice was obviously malicious.

Shen Mo sighed.

As a human being, sometimes you have to be forced to endure the critical blows of love.

Coming to the kitchen, he steamed the rice first and then fried some scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Just as I finished frying the second dish of vegetables, the doorbell rang.

When he opened the door, the first thing he saw was his parents whom he had been thinking about day and night.

Mother Zhou Wanyun walked in front, holding a cylindrical lunch box in her right hand.

She is forty-three years old, with a rosy complexion and is well maintained.

This has a lot to do with her cheerful and optimistic nature, and also with her happy family life.

Although her marriage was not approved at first because her husband's family was poor when he was young, her husband loved and cared for her after marriage, and her son Shen Mo was also adorable. Zhou Wanyun's life was happy at this point.

Father Shen Weiguo walked behind, carrying large and small bags.

He is forty-four years old and in the prime of his life.

As a veteran, he is full of energy and his face is rosy.

However, due to the hard work in business over the years, he has gained some wrinkles and gray hair, and his back is obviously hunched.

Looking at his parents in front of him, Shen Mo's eyes suddenly turned red.

At this time, my father had not yet fallen seriously ill due to his business and was unable to survive those three years.

My mother's hair did not turn white overnight, and she did not become tearful and sad all day long.

This moment is exactly what Shen Mo has been dreaming about day and night.

"mom!"

Shen Mo choked up.

He walked up to his mother and hugged her, his eyes red.

"Stinky boy..." Zhou Wanyun patted Shen Mo's back in a somewhat annoyed manner. Her face was slightly flushed, but she seemed to have a little bird singing in her heart, and she was very happy.

Since my son reached puberty, he rarely hugs himself.

Most of the time I took the initiative to hug him, but he still rejected me.

Shen Weiguo looked at this scene of loving mother and filial son with a look of relief on his face.

Unexpectedly, the next second, his son stretched out his right hand and hugged him.

"dad!"

Shen Mo couldn't hold it back any longer, and tears burst out like a dam breaking.

Dad’s body is still strong and healthy, not the haggard and weak look in my dream.

"Xiao Mo, what's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Seeing her son like this, Zhou Wanyun subconsciously thought of something.

When Shen Weiguo heard this, he immediately brought it up, even though he had just been feeling very relieved.

"What's wrong, son? Who bullied you?

"Dad is here, and he will settle the score with him!"

After hearing his parents' concerns, Shen Mo finally reacted.

I was a bit too radical.

"It's okay, Mom and Dad, I just missed you."

"Son, don't hide anything from us. My Shen family doesn't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it!"

"Son, tell me something."

……

After great efforts, Shen Mo finally managed to convince his parents that he was fine.

Oops!

This is more tiring than running 400 meters, he couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, the situation of loving parents and filial sons has finally returned.

Unfortunately, the good times only lasted 3 seconds.

"Xiao Mo, you are still a little short and easy to be bullied."

Following Zhou Wanyun's casual comment, she picked up the cylindrical food box she had brought and placed it on the dining table.

"Mom, isn't that the same thing again?"

When Shen Mo saw the food box, he almost fell down.

The psychological trauma caused by this lunch box was so great that he had nightmares about it at night.

"What? Eat more of this to grow taller."

Zhou Wanyun opened the lid, revealing the food inside.

As Shen Mo expected, it was a rooster soup stewed with Panax notoginseng, Perilla stems and red dates, which is known as the height-increasing soup for young boys.

The soup itself wasn't too bad.

But the problem is that Zhou Wanyun heard from somewhere and added another ingredient to the medicine - donkey glue.

The result was that its taste was greasy, bitter and astringent, which became the biggest shadow in Shen Mo's youth.

When he was admitted to Hangzhou in his first year of high school, he was quite short.

For this reason, Zhou Wanyun was very anxious. She would cook a pot of soup for him every two months, stand by his side and require him to eat all the soup and meat.

"This is abuse!" Shen Mo protested seriously every time.

"Stop talking nonsense and drink quickly!" This always resulted in a critical hit of mother's love.

At this moment, seeing the shadow of his childhood reappear, Shen Mo looked like he had lost all hope in life.

"Mom, I'm already 1 meters tall, do I still need to drink this?"

"It's hard to find a wife if you're less than 1.80 meters tall!" Zhou Wanyun said righteously.

Shen Weiguo was gloating on the side, grinning from ear to ear - he was like this when Shen Mo was a child.

"Mom, I see so much, I don't think one person can finish it."

"I see that my dad has lost weight recently, so give him some."

Seeing his father like this, Shen Mo made a filial suggestion.

Zhou Wanyun turned her head to look at her husband and nodded thoughtfully.

"Well...Old Shen has been busy with business recently and he does look a little haggard."

"Okay, let your dad drink some too."

"What?"

Shen Weiguo almost fell down.

I thought I was just watching the fire from the other side of the river, but how come I ended up being affected?

"Sister Yun, I don't need to drink it, right?" He looked miserable.

"drink!"
