8. Missed good times
The fat man wanted to rush back to the unit to pretend, Ye Qiu casually found a restaurant on the side of the road, and ate Huaiyang dishes at noon.
After eating, I went to the pedestrian street to take a stroll, Jiangning is the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, and the scenery is excellent. Weiyang Street is close to the Qinhuai River, and the bluestone paved street is more than five miles long. The shops on both sides are antique, the blue brick eaves corner Zhumen small building, and the side is the brisk girl and wooden boat in the river.
Although Weiyang Street is inevitably popular under the corrosion of commerce, it is still a place worth visiting.
Ye Qiu walked around the old shop and spent 10,000 yuan to buy his mother a jade bracelet of the right quality. "He" used to be a child who liked to read quietly, and after he rummaged through the entire study, he was so miserable that there were no books to read. So I had to study jade jewelry, antique calligraphy and painting, and I actually had a lot of experience.
The money for the gift is the living expenses that "he" saved when he used to go to school.
Mom didn't know that Ye Qiu was not the Ye Qiu he used to be, but he couldn't pretend to be stupid. The coming day is long, and we are always grateful.
He stepped out of the jade shop with his front foot, and turned back with his back foot, demanding that the ten thousand pieces of jade be returned on the spot.
The angry middle-aged greasy boss couldn't wait to pull him with a knife.
"Poor ghost! If you can't afford it, don't learn from others!!"
Ye Qiu turned a deaf ear to the scolding behind him, and went out to turn left and continue to sway. Life is already so frustrated, and people are not allowed to scold a mother?
He went to the flower market again and bought a bouquet of flowers. Ye Qiu thought that this body was not his own, and his face unconsciously thickened, and he said some blushing and heartbeat words to the thin-faced girl selling flowers on the street.
For example: "Little sister, don't bow your head, the most is the gentleness of that bowing head." Even the flowers that fill the streets will be ashamed. ”
Or righteously said: "Little sister, I see that there are many hills and valleys in your chest, don't you hide a few catties of dreams?"
Whether the girl selling flowers was angry or not, Ye Qiu didn't know at all. Anyway, when the other party looked at him with pity and handed him flowers with a red face, the packaging, ho, not to mention how exquisite.
"Hey, it's really that men aren't bad..."Ye Qiu finally realized this truth, and he repented that the past twenty years had been in vain!
When I got home, it was early 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and my mother had already closed the clothing store in advance and went home to prepare meals.
When Ye Qiu walked to the mouth of the alley, he saw that the door of his old-fashioned villa was open, the sunset was evenly smeared on the walls, and the creeper was full of sunlight, sleeping lazily, and being crumbling by the breeze.
He couldn't help but think of when he was a child, carrying a small schoolbag from school. The most anticipated scene every day is that the door of the house is open and never closed. When I got home, I could see my mother wearing an apron, throwing down her schoolbag and going to the kitchen: "Mom, I'm hungry"
……
Mom is making braised vegetables, and the braised medicine bag is tumbling up and down in the soup pot, and the rich fragrance makes people can't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of heaven and earth (air) first.
"Qiu'er, hurry up and help. The sauce beef has been cut, can you help me see if the pig's trotters in the pressure cooker are ready. ”
As soon as he entered, his mother heard his footsteps.
"Okay Mom" Ye Qiu quietly walked into the living room and inserted flowers in the bottle, like a natural encounter between spring and summer.
"How's it going?" asked Mom.
"Job fair, it's still the same, nothing suitable. Ye Qiu snorted.
Mom stuck her head out of the kitchen to look at him, and said helplessly: "You, you can't fight for your father." When your dad was your age, he could do everything, but he couldn't do anything when it was your turn. ”
He didn't know how to reply, and his mother was still thinking about it: "Your Aunt Zhang's son, no one went to college, and now he has become the CEO of a listed company, and he just gave birth to a big fat boy in the spring, when can you let me live such a life?"
Ye Qiu sighed, no matter what time and space, the taste of home is never fickle.
He hid his face with his hands, and after a moment of sadness, he heard his mother urging in the kitchen: "You dead child, come and help." ”
Ye Qiu hurried over, and her mother said disgustedly: "Put on an apron!"
The mother and son were busy in the kitchen for more than two hours, and a big meal was about to come out.
Mom glanced at the wall clock on the wall and said, "Your second uncle also came to the house today, his position is rising now, not as good as before, it is not easy to come back." and your second aunt, who has also been promoted by two levels, will be more leisurely when you talk later. ”
"I know Mom," Ye Qiu pouted: "Besides seeing my uncle and aunt, I just asked them to help arrange a job." I think back then, if it weren't for my father's support, my second uncle wouldn't know where to move bricks. As for the second aunt, it was even worse, the full-time housewife who fed the pigs and chickens in the village. ”
Ye Qiu inherited the memories of this body, and those things were not a secret.
"Just let you stop talking nonsense!" Mom pretended to pull his ears and said angrily: "Even if your father is the dragon and phoenix among people, where is he now? Your mother and I have worked hard to pull you up, and you have to listen to me today." ”
"Okay, listen to you!" Ye Qiu expressed his position: "Wait a minute, even if my aunt slaps my slippers on my face, I will definitely not talk back!"
For this meal, my mother spent more than a thousand on groceries. This is not counting the seafood prepared in the water tank to be brought back to the second uncle's family, and the lobster the size of a suckling pig alone is thousands of pieces, how can he not know his mother's good intentions.
In fact, the mother doesn't need to do this at all, she doesn't know that her son doesn't need to be introduced to work at all.
Ye Qiu didn't break it, since her mother wanted to do it, just try her best to cooperate with acting. Anyway, the end result will not be any different from the previous times.
Before the second uncle's family arrived, my mother checked everything in every detail, until she saw the flowers in the living room and flicked them.
"Qiu'er, you're enlightened, your second aunt likes flowers the most!" said her mother, and she couldn't hide her relief in her words.
Ye Qiu felt a little sad, he put his hands around his mother's shoulders, and said with a smile: "What does it have to do with the second aunt, this is for you, Mom." ”
He was already much taller than the woman in front of him who gave him life.
Mom was a big beauty when she was young, and she was afraid that she had forgotten how much she used to like romance.
The things she lost were all the good times she missed because of herself.
Ye Qiu lowered his head and leaned on his mother's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Mom, it's been hard work for so many years. ”
"In the future, I'll give you shelter from the wind and rain, okay?"
"You stupid boy, you talk stupid things. ”
Mom wiped the corners of her eyes: "Your second uncle and they have arrived, hurry up to greet them." ”
Ye Qiu looked up, and a brand-new white Cayenne stopped at the door of his house, which was the car of his second uncle Zhao Qing.
The car door opened, and the second aunt walked down first, followed by the person he didn't expect, cousin Zhao Han.
The moment he saw Zhao Han, Ye Qiu's heart was refusal, that is, an arrogant, selfish, and self-righteous little goblin.
