Chapter 62 - As long as you're happy
My mom was chatting and laughing with Xi Qianzhi as they walked out of the elevator. It could be seen that my mom was really happy. She must be having fun too!
Seeing me walk out the door, my mother shouted in exasperation: "Xiangxiang! Why did you come out? "Hurry up and go in. There's a wind in this corridor, don't you know that you can't let it in?"
I hurried back to my room and sat on the sofa, waiting.
They didn't take long to walk in, but when they came in slowly with my mother, the gift bags were almost all over the coffee table, and on top of them were the spoils of the day.
There were donkeys rolling around, Poria Cocos, pea yellow, beefcake and other snacks. There were even cloth shoes, silk scarves and dresses!
I couldn't help but look at him slowly, but he didn't say anything.
My mother showed me their spoils of war, one by one, and said to me: "Look here, I went to the commercial street with Slow to buy them, they look very comfortable, I was going to buy them for you, but when you are ready, he will take you to try them, I think, shoes always have to try, not just the feet know.
Xiangxiang, look at this, I went to the business street slowly to buy it, look at this silk scarf, the quality is extremely good, a pure Sky Worm Silk is not expensive, one is not even 300 pieces! "
I know this brand of silk scarves, if I remember correctly, it should be more than 2,000 yuan each. My mom would actually mistake it for more than 300 yuan. How did she do that?
I picked up the tag on the silk scarf and saw that it had more than three hundred marks on it. Knife!
I think it must have been a gentle gesture. I bought about three or four.
I suddenly thought of what Qin Xin had told me, "You only need to spend some money on gentleness, don't be too serious about relationships!"
My heart was suddenly in a state of desolation. The words my mother had just said were suitable for only my feet knew, and it pierced my heart.
He then saw my mother take out a dress. It was indeed a beautiful red dress, and my mother said: "Come, Xiangxiang, try it on! I bought it for you slowly! I was pretty good at holding it up, so I bought it for you! "Try it."
Why would you want to buy me a present? What was she planning to do? I couldn't figure it out.
"Mom, it's been a few days since I last took a bath, so I won't try on this new dress for now. I'll try it again when I'm better!"
My mother was reluctant to part with it, but felt that what I said made sense, so she reluctantly said, "Alright then! Then remember to keep it properly. Remember to try it out! By the way, are you hungry? Mom will go cook for you right now! "
My mother started for the kitchen.
Only at this moment did the gentle, quiet voice say, "Auntie, don't move. You've been tired all day. Let me do it!"
As he said this, he pulled my mother back and made her sit on the sofa.
"Aiya, no no no, you've been tired all day too. Auntie will do it!"
"Auntie, even if I am to drive today, I didn't do anything else, so I'm not tired. You must have worked hard after wandering around for so long.
But my mother still felt that something wasn't right, so she gently pushed my mother back into the chair and said to my mother: "Auntie, I'm really not tired. Don't worry, I promise I'll make something that both you and Xiangxiang will love to eat!"
Saying so, he slowly took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves and headed straight for the kitchen.
How happy I would have felt if it hadn't happened!
But I know, and I'm still repeatedly telling myself, everything is fake, everything is fake! Perhaps he felt guilty towards me for being so gentle. Seeing that my mother had come, he did everything he could to please her and help her. I wanted to let her feel at ease, so I acquiesced in his actions.
Or maybe it was because of my guilt that I was trying to make up for it in a different way. But in short, none of this is true.
I can see that my mother is having a good time today! One could see everything from her smiling face.
I listened to her tell me where she'd been, what she'd played with, what she'd seen, where she wouldn't have to waste her time the next time she brought my dad, and where it was worth going again.
Hearing this, I felt very gratified in my heart. After all, not only did the matter of mother coming this time make her sad, there was still a little thing that could make her happy.
In less than an hour, the delicious food was served.
Perhaps because of yesterday's experience, I am not as embarrassed today as I was yesterday.
I took my mother and sat her down at the table and said the first thing I'd said to him since we moved: "It's been hard on you."
, you aren't tired at all, it's not hard at all. It's fine as long as you're happy!! "
But his words did not make me happier. On the contrary, they made my mood even heavier.
I stopped talking and bent down to pick up my chopsticks. He picked up some food for his mother and ate it for himself.
My mother probably saw my unhappiness and glared at me and said, "You child! What kind of expression was that? [You didn't even say thank you for the food he cooked for us!] Even if you are one of us, you are not like this! "
Then my mother picked up a pork chop and put it in a bowl. "Slow down," she said, "you've been tired all day, so eat more."
"Ai, good, Auntie, thank you!"
But my mother looked at me and said, "Look at her. She's so polite! Lin Xiang, you need to learn a bit! "
I nodded helplessly.
Just as I was eating, she was still chatting slowly with my mother. "Auntie, how is the pork chop made? I was making it out of tofu."
"What is soy bean curd?"
Without looking up, I said to my mother, "That's what we call bean curd milk."
"Oh?" Soy bean curd milk can be used as ribs? This is really my first time eating it! The taste is really good, I will cook and try Xiangxiang's father when I get home! "
"Sure, auntie. I'll tell you how I did it later. It was very simple!"
My mother nodded.
Just then, a sentence suddenly came out of my mother: "Please wait, when are you and Xiangxiang planning to bring the Marriage certificate? That account book, I've already sent it to you guys for a long time, right? "
When my mother said this, the food in my mouth stuck in my throat and I couldn't swallow it, but I didn't dare cough it out.
I looked up at my mother. I was just about to say that she didn't need to worry about it anymore, but the food in my mouth stopped me from speaking.
At this time, he gently smiled and said to my mother: "I always want to bring back Marriage certificate from Lin Xiang, but for this matter, I still need to seek Lin Xiang's opinion."
My mom tilted her head and looked at me, "Why is Lin Xiang acting like a child again?"
It was only a gentle smile, "There's no auntie, I was the one who did wrong, and it's not Lin Xiang's fault, it's my fault, it's my fault!"
I managed to swallow the food in my mouth and said to my mother, "Mom, you don't have to worry about that! We'll take care of our own affairs. "
"What do you mean 'mom doesn't have to worry about that?' You are all in a new era now, and there is nothing wrong with that. Although it doesn't seem like we paid much attention to our parents' orders, we still have to listen to our parents' opinions!"
Then, he slowly said: "Oh yeah, take it slow, I heard that Xiangxiang has seen your family before, how do they feel about Xiangxiang?"
"All very good! Aunt, my parents really like Lin Xiang! "
After he slowly finished speaking, his mother pulled my hand and said it was really similar. The scene of her holding my hand suddenly lingered in front of my eyes, and when I looked at her gently, I really don't know how she managed to move out.
"Really? Aiya, we, Xiangxiang have been liked by people since we were young. Furthermore, slowly, I think highly of you! Otherwise, just take advantage of my presence and bring the Marriage certificate over. I will take a picture and when I return home, I can even show it to Xiangxiang's father! "
Mom once again mentioned Dad, I lowered my head a bit sad, maybe really like Mom said, Daddy will really be very happy!
