Chapter 17 Flowers Fade and Red Apricot Small (II)
Two meat and two vegetables, plus a bowl of steamed meatballs.
The mother and daughter each have a small bowl of rice.
Wang Jinglu's mother's name is Tao Huijun, she is forty-six years old this year, but she doesn't look like she is forty years old, although she is not as beautiful as her two daughters, but when she is middle-aged, she still looks like a slightly amazing person in her delicate manner, with a gentle and peaceful personality, usually doesn't talk much, and has good cooking skills.
In contrast, Wang Jingxue's temperament is a little strong, and Wang Jinglu is more like her.
Even, even the action of the mother and daughter eating is almost cultivated by a set of procedures, one small bite, one small bite, chewing and swallowing slowly...... Almost half of the bowl of steamed meatballs went into Wang Jinglu's stomach, but her lips were always clean and not greasy.
During the meal, neither mother nor daughter spoke.
When she finished eating, Tao Huijun filled each of them a bowl of soup, but she just picked up the bowl and took a small sip, and then just watched her daughter drink the soup with a smile.
"Final exams are still in three or four weeks, right?
"Hmm. Wang Jinglu nodded.
Tao Huijun smiled, stopped talking, and took a spoon and drank two spoonfuls of soup.
"It's over!" Wang Jinglu stretched out her hand to pat her little belly like a child, smiled sweetly and complained, "Mom, don't give me steamed meatballs in the future, every time I can't control myself, I will eat so much, and I will be fat in the future!"
Tao Huijun smiled and said, "You won't be fat, you and your sister are like mothers, you see, mothers are not fat." ”
Wang Jinglu shook her head in disbelief, "Last time my sister came back, she said that I was about to eat a pig." ”
Tao Huijun smiled, paused, and said, "Xiaolu, this morning, your father came back. ”
Wang Jinglu suddenly became nervous when she heard this, "Is it her...... What's going on?"
Tao Huijun shook her head with a smile, reached over and held her daughter's hand across the table, and said, "Your father mainly told me something related to you. ”
At this moment, Wang Jinglu suddenly chuckled in her heart.
Sure enough, Tao Huijun put away her smile and said slowly: "Mom knows that you must have your own ideas, so Mom told your dad that we will only provide some references and some options, and we will not force you to do anything, okay?"
Wang Jinglu looked at her timidly.
Tao Huijun sighed, withdrew his hand, and asked, "What do you think...... How's that Zhao Yumin?"
Really!
Wang Jinglu hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, you really won't force me?"
Tao Huijun suddenly laughed, "What era is this? Even when your mother and your father got married, they were already in free love, not to mention now, how could your mother force you?"
"But......" Wang Jinglu wanted to speak and stopped.
Tao Huijun said: "Introduce Zhao Yumin to you and help you match, my mother agreed." ”
Wang Jinglu looked at her in surprise, "How could it be?...... Why?"
She always thought that it was all her father's idea, and she knew that her mother loved her very much and was willing to spoil her.
Tao Huijun smiled at the corner of her eyes, but said with a serious expression: "If you put aside your prejudices, you tell your mother, what is going on with that young man?"
At this moment, Wang Jinglu opened his mouth and stammered.
How is Zhao Yumin?
Without in-depth contact, she certainly can't judge how a person is. But only from what she knows and sees so far, this person, handsome, chic, handsome, gentle, considerate, has an obvious British gentlemanly demeanor, excellent temperament, as a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge University, obviously not much worse in learning, and ...... He must have a lot of money in his family.
If you look at it purely from the perspective of choosing a son-in-law, he has almost no obvious shortcomings that can be picky, and some are just one shining point after another, which is enough to dazzle the vast majority of girls in this world.
Wang Jinglu wanted to speak and stopped, lowered his head, and pouted.
Tao Huijun sneered, "Nothing to say?"
After a pause, she said, "So, after he followed your father to our house that day, I got to know each other through various relationships and agreed to your father's suggestion." I think he's a good fit for you. ”
Wang Jinglu frowned and glanced up at her.
Tao Huijun continued: "Mom doesn't want to tell you that love and marriage are not the same thing, even if they are not, I don't think my daughter has the right to fight for love, in fact, Mom thinks that a marriage with love can be really happy." But...... If you don't even want to touch him, how can you be sure that you won't like him?"
"Perhaps, Mom just said maybe, when you really start to get in touch with that young man, you will soon find that he has all kinds of shortcomings and deficiencies that you can't accept, and at that time, you say that you don't like him, of course Mom will support you 100%!"
"But what if you approach him and find that he's the kind you like? if you really start to like him, fall in love with him...... Isn't that better? Love in this world has never been just childhood sweethearts or love at first sight, isn't it?"
"So, trust your mother's vision, get in touch with him, and get to know him, okay?"
Wang Jinglu pursed her lips and did not speak.
In fact, she had nothing to say.
Although she didn't want to have any contact with that person, she had to admit in her heart that what her mother said was not unreasonable.
It's just that......
Tao Huijun began to drink the soup in small sips, and then, Wang Jinglu also picked up the spoon and began to drink the soup in small sips.
In the end, Wang Jinglu drank it first. Even though her mouth was clean, she took a napkin and wiped her mouth before she stood up and said, "Mom, I'm full, I'll go back to my room first." ”
Tao Huijun nodded, but suddenly stopped her: "Xiao Lu......"
Wang Jinglu stood down and looked back at her.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "You already have someone you like, right?"
Wang Jinglu raised her head and lowered her head again, but did not speak.
Tao Huijun asked again: "It's Xiaoqian, right?"
Wang Jinglu showed a startled look on his face, but he still lowered his head and did not speak.
So, Tao Huijun thought about it and said as if talking to herself: "In the past two years, your father's mind has been on that woman, and your sister's mind is on music, they may not have noticed it, but my mother is not them." Mom knows you've been fond of going to the top of the building after dinner for the last two years...... Just with him, right?"
Wang Jinglu hesitated for a moment and nodded silently.
Tao Huijun also nodded, "Well, mom doesn't have to break you up, maybe your dad and your sister won't agree, but mom won't." Mom just wants to tell you that you're ...... now Too young. Being young means that the world you have seen is still too small, like a little frog that has not yet had time to jump out of the well and see a bigger world. So, don't close your heart too soon, and give other good boys in this world a chance, okay?"
Wang Jinglu always kept her head down and didn't say a word.
After Tao Huijun finished speaking, she finally raised her head, the mother and daughter looked at each other for a moment, she lowered her head again, and turned around to go back to the room. Took a step, but stopped. She turned around to look at her mother, suddenly plucked up her courage, and asked, "Mom, do you also think that Li Qian and I ...... Not appropriate, is it?"
Tao Huijun was stunned for a moment when she heard this, as if she was surprised by her daughter's sudden courage. But soon, she smiled and asked gently, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Wang Jinglu nodded affirmatively.
Tao Huijun thought about it, put away the smile on his face, nodded, and said, "He is not worthy of you." ”
After a pause, he said: "I don't deserve it now, and I don't deserve it in the future!"
Wang Jinglu couldn't help but be angry when she heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Why?
Tao Huijun suddenly laughed again, as if she liked to see her daughter angry, she looked at her daughter a little mischievously, and said, "So, do you want to tell your mother that he is very handsome?"
Wang Jinglu was surprised, but speechless.
Of course, this is not all she Li Qian, but at least at the moment, the person she likes in her heart, what can she use to show off or compare with others?
Tao Huijun continued: "Mom knows that he is very good-looking, and his mother is very beautiful, especially when we first moved here, my mother saw her for the first time, when you were just over a year old, my mother hugged you, she hugged Li Qian, we met in the corridor, said hello, I came back and said to your father, we are on the door Teacher Li's wife, so beautiful! Mom thinks that she can't compare to her, well, if it's just about appearance, Mom admits that Li Qian and you are a very good match. But...... Does it work?"
Wang Jinglu lowered her head and still didn't speak.
She wanted to say that Li Qian was not only good-looking, he had many advantages, and she even wanted to talk about Li Qian's improvement by a full 100 points in just one month, but she knew in her heart that those ...... It's useless.
Sure enough, Tao Huijun continued: "There is a truth in this world that everyone has to admit that good-looking people do have advantages, and they can always get more opportunities than others, including some good opportunities, but that's all." ”
"Now, let's just say now. If you don't go to Beijing and don't take the film academy exam, then my mother thinks that you can be admitted to any university in the country, with your intelligence, of course, and beauty, after graduation, you will have a good future. So, what about him? Can he?...... And if you go to Beijing and go to the film academy, my mother is not sure that you will be able to get in, but my mother knows that you have the talent in this area, and you, as well as your sister, will achieve certain results in your respective industries in the future. So, what about him?"
Tao Huijun spread his hands, "So, now can you tell your mother that you are a good match with him?"
Wang Jinglu raised her head.
"But I like him!" she said firmly.
Tao Huijun was a little surprised, obviously, she didn't expect her daughter to answer herself directly.
And, it's an answer that's enough to overturn some.
So, she was silent for a moment before she said, "Yes." You can like him!but, at least in ...... Don't really give yourself to him until you graduate from college, give yourself the opportunity to choose other people, and give other people the opportunity to show themselves, okay? If in the future, you have graduated from college, started working, started to have your own career, and you still firmly believe that you still like him, then your mother will bless you, okay?"
Wang Jinglu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.
Then, she looked up and looked at her mother.
"I like him! I'm not going to change!" she said.
Tao Huijun smiled, "If this is the case in the future, stubbornness is not a kind of happiness." However, believe Mom, there are too many boys in this world who are both handsome and capable of giving you better love and a better life. When you go out, when you look with your heart, to observe, to feel, you will understand that the so-called blind eye to Mount Tai is not a lie. ”
Wang Jinglu pursed her lips, lowered her head, turned her head and walked towards her room.
In the dining room, looking at her daughter's stubborn back, until the door was gently closed, Tao Huijun sighed slowly.
"I wish I had lost my eyes. She muttered, "I really hope that the Li family kid can impress me and your father a little more." ”
…………
"Hey, Xiaolu, what's wrong?"
"Sister, what should I do?"
“……”
"My dad arranged a blind date for me, and my mom told me just now, and she agreed. ”
"In the afternoon, my mother called me and told me. ”
"That'...... What should I do?"
"Don't like him?"
"I don't like it. ”
"Don't even want to touch it?"
“…… Unwilling. ”
"Mom said, "That's a good guy." ”
"I know. But ......"
"Distressed? want to control your own destiny, and don't want anyone to make decisions for you, even if that person is your mother?"
"Hmm. ”
"Then come to Suncheon, think about what I told you. ”
"Hmm. ”
"By the way, that kid on the other side has been beating you up, you pay attention, that kid has a lot of ghost ideas since he was a child, don't let him deceive him. Remember, the most untrustworthy thing in the world is men's rhetoric, and boys are no different. ”
"Uh......"
"Uh, what? That's it, when you get to Suncheon, your parents won't be able to take care of it. By the way, as for that, what is Min...... I suggest you still go and meet him for a chat, after all, even his mother thinks he is good, and he must still be a bit outstanding. If you still don't like it after seeing it, then don't bother with it. Xiao Lu...... Xiao Lu?"
"Well, I'm listening. ”
"Well, that's it, I'm hanging. When you're done with your final exams, I'll pick you up. ”
"Hmm. Bye. ”
"Bye. ”
The phone hung up, and Wang Jinglu threw herself on the bed weakly.
"They don't like you, what should I do?" she muttered.
Raising her hand and raising her mobile phone, she clicked on the "short message", clicked on the word "Li Qian" that had accumulated hundreds of text messages, thought about it, entered the word "roof", hung her finger on the send button, hesitated for a long time, but deleted both words, threw away the mobile phone in distress, and covered her face.
After a moment, she let go of her hand, turned over and sat up, took the Walkman from the table, found Zhou Yan's "Dreamer" on the small bookshelf on the desk and put it in, and pressed the play button.
“……
The wind is not the wind, the clouds are not the clouds,
I don't love you,
It does not matter
Anyway, it's just passing by.
Flowers are not flowers, mud is not mud,
You dancing in the desert,
At first glance,
I need a little more luck. ”
