Chapter 2: An Awkward Mother and Daughter
"Don't hurry up yet!" Xu Shu saw that Ye Lan was still standing, and reprimanded, even if she and Ding Weiwei had nothing to say, she really didn't want her granddaughter and her mother to have nothing to say.
Ye Lan actually knew that her mother and grandmother had nothing to say, but she and her own mother really didn't have anything to say.
During the day, she received a notice from the school, went back to be interviewed and rewarded, and as soon as the results came out yesterday, as a freshly baked Beijing science champion, she was the new signboard of the school, so she was recruited back early in the morning, and then one day she was in school, and her mobile phone was naturally turned off.
My mother couldn't find her when she called, so she had to call home. When she returned, she turned it back on and saw several messages from her mother.
I went back to my room, looked at my phone and hesitated, but then dialed it. The other side didn't answer, but soon, the WeChat video request came, Ye Lan really didn't dare not answer, honestly connected, smiled at Ding Weiwei over there, and nodded honestly, "Mom!"
"Are there activities during the day?" Ding Weiwei looked to be about thirty, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her delicate face and bright background environment showed that her life was superior at this time.
"The school arranged several interviews, and there was also a ceremony. Of course, the people from Kyodai and Mizuki also met, and they wanted me to go to their school. Ye Lan reported honestly.
"Your Uncle Wang means to send you to Aunt Jiaojiao, you have always had a good relationship with Aunt Jiaojiao, and she can take care of you when she does research in Heidelberg. What do you think of it yourself?" Obviously, Ding Weiwei is not a polite person, and she directly said what she meant.
"Oh, thank you Uncle Wang and Aunt Jiaojiao for me, but I like mathematics, I had a good conversation with the teachers of Beijing University today, and I want to go to the Department of Mathematics of Beijing University. Ye Lan smiled and said politely.
"Heidelberg also has a mathematics department. Ding Weiwei looked at her daughter coldly with a straight face.
"Who knows if I can succeed in learning, I heard that some of the students who studied mathematics gave up halfway through, so maybe I will have to choose a new major when I go back, so it is more convenient to be in China. Ye Lan still had to be unhurried, with a lovely smile on her face, but the smile did not enter her eyes.
"Ye Lan ......" Ding Weiwei seemed to be angry, and her mobile phone was robbed. revealed the smiling face of a middle-aged man, "Lan Lan, not well-behaved." ”
"Uncle Wang!" Ye Lan cheered up and smiled at him and nodded, "How is Grandma Wang?" I also said that I called her in the past two days. ”
"She misses you so much that she asks when you're coming as soon as you finish the exam. Xiaojian too, said that when you came, I would take him to Japan to play. Wang Zhenghe sat down with Ding Weiwei in his arms with a smile, "As soon as your results come back, your grandmother Wang said that we will book you a plane ticket, she will hold a banquet, and tell relatives and friends that our family is also a champion." I'm so happy! When are you free, Uncle Wang will book a ticket for you?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but my classmates seem to be saying that they want to do some activities. Ye Lan smiled, but declined.
"You are a child with ideas, and your mother and I have always trusted you. And the fact that you can do so well in the test also proves it. So you have a plan for your life, and your mother and I will respect it. But your Grandma Wang and Aunt Jiaojiao like you too much, and they just want you to spend more time with us, not to control your life. Do you understand?" Wang Zhenghe smiled and said very gently.
"Yes!" Ye Lan lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, but still raised his eyes and looked at Wang Zhenghe calmly, "Uncle Wang, I don't know what I like, but I know what I don't like." I don't like to study medicine, I respect the profession, but I don't. Before I thought about what I liked, I wanted to find a quiet place to read and do some research. If I am sure that in the future I have something I want to study, and it happens that Heidelberg University has it, I will definitely trouble Aunt Jiaojiao. ”
"So I get it. Yes, I'll tell Aunt Jiaojiao. Wang Zhenghe nodded, thinking about it, "As for your Jiaojiao aunt, you know, she has no home and no children, when you were a child, she and Grandma Wang took care of you, and they have long treated you as their own child." So when I heard that you took the college entrance examination, I have been looking forward to you coming over to accompany her. So, even if you don't go over to study, I still hope you can take advantage of the holiday to come over and take Grandma Wang to live with her for a while. ”
Wang Zhenghe nodded, and played the emotional card again, I can agree that you don't go to Heidelberg to study, but the people in the family really love you, how can you bear to ignore them.
"Yes, I'll look at the time. Ye Lan smiled, and he really couldn't say no.
Because just like Wang Zhenghe said, the two people of the Wang family are something she can't refuse. At that time, Ye Lan was three years old, and Ding Weiwei's mood finally calmed down and remarried Wang Zhenghe. So he proposed to the Ye family to take Ye Lan over to live for a few days. This Ye family is really hard to refuse. But at that time, Ding Weiwei didn't know how to take care of a child at all.
And that was also the first time Ye Lan left Xu Shu after he was born, and he was so frightened that he cried. Ding Weiwei was also impatient, or a little afraid, anyway, when the mother and daughter met for the first time, the situation was a little unromantic.
It was Wang Zhenghe's mother and sister Wang Jiao who appeased Xiao Yelan, and during that time, she transferred her dependence on Xu Shu to Mrs. Wang, followed up, and ate and slept together. Wang Jiao had just graduated from college, just in time to catch up with the lovelorn, and Ye Lan, who was a little stupid and cute at the time, also greatly comforted her. That's how people's feelings are cultivated. So in the next few years, Ye Lan went to Wang's house, and most of the time he spent with Mrs. Wang and Wang Jiao.
Later, Ding Weiwei gave birth to another son, and the relationship between Ye Lan and Ding Weiwei did not improve much, but her relationship with her younger brother was not bad. So far, she has a good relationship with her stepfather's family, but she doesn't talk to her own mother for more than half a sentence, which is a little embarrassing!
"Good, say hello to your grandmother, go to bed early. Wang Zhenghe nodded with satisfaction and patted his wife gently.
"Go to bed early. Ding Weiwei looked at the camera and said softly for a while.
"Good night!" Ye Lan looked at her mother helplessly, there was always a mountain and water between her and her mother. Although the two of them didn't want to go in the past, they didn't know where the road was going every time.
hung up the video phone and returned to the big room, the old lady was still watching local TV dramas, don't watch the old lady sing Peking Opera all her life, she was at home, unless necessary, she definitely didn't watch the drama channel.
"What did your mother say?" asked the old lady casually.
"As I told you, let me choose my major. They seemed to want me to study medicine, and Uncle Wang's sister, who was a researcher in Heidelberg, had always liked me and asked me to accompany her. Ye Lan sat down, took the remote control, and changed the stage casually, she didn't have much time to watch TV, so she occasionally watched variety shows, without brains, and now she also wants to change her brain. The old lady doesn't watch the drama channel at home, in fact, it's the same, and she doesn't have to worry about letting herself go.
