Lost (novella) Zhang Baotong

knocked on the door, Qiu Wen's mother opened the door, and when she saw that her daughter had brought a middle-aged man, she naturally understood in her heart, and her expression was unconsciously stunned. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xu Bin was of course very sensitive to this, but he still politely bowed down to Qiu Wen's mother and called, "Aunt." Qiu Wen's mother immediately beckoned, "Why do you buy so many things, come in." ”

Qiu Wen said to her mother, "Xu Bin heard that you like to eat fruits, so he bought you two boxes at once." Moving from the store to here is going to exhaust him. Normally, he had never done anything like that. Qiuwen's mother said, "Buying so much is enough for me to eat for a year." Qiu Wen took the bouquet of carnations to her mother and said, "This is also what Xu Bin bought for you." Qiu Wen's mother said, "Why do you buy this thing? Spend more money!" Qiu Wen smiled, "Mom, today is Mother's Day." This flower is called carnation, which means to wish health and beauty. Qiu Wen's mother then understood, so she asked Qiu Wen to put the bouquet into the vase next to the windowsill.

Qiu Wen's mother obviously had a good impression of Xu Bin's courtesy and thoughtfulness, poured Xu Bin a cup of tea, sat on the wooden chair opposite the sofa, and began to talk to Xu Bin. Because she was worried that her mother would embarrass Xu Bin, Qiu Wen sat next to Xu Bin, ready to rescue Xu Bin at all times. The mother's questions were not hurried or slow, and they were clear-sighted, as if there was a deep meaning in each sentence. Xu Bin's reply was too respectful and cautious, for fear that he would say something wrong. Qiu Wen felt that although her mother was polite to Xu Bin, there was still an obvious doubt and hesitation hidden in her voice, but no matter what she said, she still thought that her mother had begun to accept Xu Bin. So, he walked to his mother's side, hugged his mother's neck affectionately, and said in a praising tone, "Mom, you don't know Xu Bin yet, he is a good person, but he can be considerate." Some time ago, I couldn't sleep at night with insomnia, so he kept rubbing my head and massaging me, and I was cured of my insomnia. ”

Qiu Wen originally wanted to praise Xu Bin in front of her mother, but when she saw Xu Bin's face, she immediately became gloomy and distorted, and secretly gave her a look. Qiu Wen's mother saw that Xu Bin looked very uncomfortable, so she said very wisely, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" and got up and went to the kitchen. Qiu Wen wondered what was going on. But before she could understand, Xu Bin scolded Qiu Wen in a low voice, "How did you do this, you dare to say it in front of your mother if we live together?" Qiu Wen said disapprerovingly, "Then what's wrong?" Xu Bin said, "Didn't you mean to make me unable to raise my head in front of your mother?"

Qiu Wen realized that she had leaked her words, but she also felt that Xu Bin was too nitpicky and made a fuss, so she said, "Men and women are together, isn't that a little thing? My mother is also a person who came over, and I don't know? How many men and women who are not married now live together openly? They all sleep together, why are they so hypocritical?" Xu Bin was even more annoyed, and said, "You don't look at the occasion, this is the first time I came to your house, and I wanted to make a good impression in front of your mother." But, now it's okay, now I don't know who your mother wants to see me?" Qiu Wen had never seen Xu Bin lose his temper so much, so she felt that her words were indeed inappropriate, so she waved at him, "I forgot, I forgot." Pay attention next time. ”

After breakfast, when Xu Bin went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, his mother called Qiu Wen to her house, closed the door, and asked Qiu Wen seriously, "Do you really live together?" Qiu Wen didn't dare to look up at her mother's face, so she nodded silently. Mother said angrily, "You are so bold, you can really let go!" Qiu Wen didn't expect her mother to take this very seriously, so she felt a little embarrassed and didn't say anything. Mother asked again, "Did he let you live?" Qiu Wen said, "I want to live there myself." The mother said, "I don't believe it." Qiu Wen said earnestly, "Mom, I don't lie to you. The mother looked at her daughter for a long time, and from her eyes she seemed to be able to perceive that her words were indeed true. The mother was even more angry, and said, "You don't have a place for yourself, why do you want to live in someone's place?"

Qiu Wen said with shame on her face, "Mom, you don't know, our boss hasn't come back since the New Year, and the rent hasn't been paid for two months." The rent was originally paid by the boss, but the boss never returned, and the landlord urged us to ask for money every day. There was no way, Fan Ling and I pooled the money together to pay for the house. At that time, I couldn't find a job for several days, so I couldn't rent a house. Xu Bin said that I would live with him first, and then go out to rent a house when I found a job. I always had insomnia at night, I couldn't sleep all night, people were like going crazy and nervous, I thought Xu Bin could give me a massage, and he was also very considerate and caring for people, so I stayed with him. ”

When my mother heard this, her tone immediately changed, and she said, "But why don't you tell your mother about this?" Qiu Wen said, "My mother has done everything for me in her life, and I am an adult now, and I don't want my mother to worry about me anymore." The mother cupped her daughter's face with her hand, sighed softly and said, "My child, Mom doesn't blame you. Mom knows that it is not easy for a girl to go out to work. Qiu Wen heard her mother speak to her like this, so she called "Mom" emotionally, and hugged her mother tightly.

Xu Bin bought the vegetables back and began to go down to the kitchen to cook. Qiu Wen's mother thought that Xu Bin was a guest, so she asked Xu Bin to rest, but Qiu Wen wanted Xu Bin to show his hand in front of his mother and show it, so she pulled her mother into the bedroom and chatted with her mother. As soon as she opened her mouth, she said to her mother, "Mom, listen to what Xu Bin said about you. The mother was stunned and said, "What did you say?" Qiu Wen snorted at her mother and said, "He said that together we are like a pair of prostitute sisters." When my mother heard this, she sighed and said, "What do you mean?" said Qiu Wen, "It's not that you look young, you don't look like a person in your forties at all." But her mother was not confused by this flattery, and said in a solemn tone, "Qiu Wen, my mother thinks that although Xu Bin is not bad, he is too old, and you have to consider this matter carefully." When Qiu Wen heard this, she said impatiently, "Mom, Xu Bin is a little older, but I love him, and he loves me, we must be able to live well together." I believe in my feelings. When the mother saw that her daughter was a little unhappy, she said, "Since you said that, Mom doesn't want to say more." ”

Qiu Wen was talking to her mother in the bedroom, Xu Bin was picking vegetables and washing vegetables in the kitchen, cooking and stir-frying, and after a while, a plate of chicken, duck, fish and shrimp with beautiful color and fragrance and full of Jiangsu and Zhejiang characteristics was served to the table. During the meal, Qiu Wen kept holding the dishes for her mother, asked her mother to taste the dishes on the table one by one, and asked her mother to evaluate them one by one. My mother is a southerner and an expert in stir-frying, so she is naturally full of praise for Xu Bin's stir-fried dishes. This made Qiu Wen feel very proud.

After eating, Qiu Wen pulled Xu Bin into her room to surf the Internet together. But Xu Bin has no interest in surfing the Internet, and thinks that this will leave Qiu Wen's mother aside, so he wants to accompany Qiu Wen's mother more. This is the task given to him by Qiu Wen, saying that her mother is lonely all the year round, no one cares about her and no one loves her, so that he can talk and chat with his mother more when he is fine, so as to change his mother's opinion of him.

He came out of Qiu Wen's room and saw Qiu Wen's mother sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, so he sat next to Qiu Wen's mother and took the initiative to chat with Qiu Wen's mother. There was an advertisement on the TV about Weiyang Lake. The Weiyang Lake in the advertisement is a spring-like lake with a beautiful water color, which is very poetic and picturesque. Xu Bin asked Qiuwen's mother, "Has your aunt been to Weiyang Lake?" Qiuwen's mother said, "I'm used to staying at home, I always don't want to go out, and besides, I'm alone, no matter how good things look boring." Xu Bin immediately said, "If Aunt is interested, we can go to Weiyang Lake together." Qiu Wen's mother immediately showed excitement and said, "That's okay, you go and call Qiu Wen, let's go together." ”

However, Qiu Wen's Internet is booming, and she has also been to Weiyang Lake, so she said, "Otherwise, you can take my mother there, so that my mother can get to know you well through this trip." Xu Bin said with some embarrassment, "However, I don't know your mother very well after all, so I'm afraid it's not good if you don't go." Qiu Wen said, "If there is anything good or bad, you will go if you are told to go." "No way, Xu Bin had to take Qiuwen's mother to Weiyang Lake by himself.
