In a blink of an eye, two weeks have passed, this day is Saturday, I packed up early, took the morning bus home, today is I made an appointment with my mother, ask a professional to help me know the day of the news commentary, my mother said about at home, at first I was not very happy, because it felt weird, and then I thought about it, it is my mother's colleague must not be a living person, maybe it is a super easy-going aunt, and my mother is a best friend, so I agreed.

Carrying bags and laptops, quickly flashed to the station, although it was early in the morning, but there were still a lot of people who walked early in the morning, Beijing has gradually entered the summer, the sky is also early, but the morning is still a little cool.

I took the morning bus and walked home, about 10 o'clock in the morning, I arrived at my home in Jingbei, thinking about my mother's cooking, a burst of saliva, hehe, I miss the taste of my mother, probably it is a blessing for children. Thinking of my mother's good meal, my steps are much lighter.

Dingdong Dingdong...... I rang the doorbell and pretended to be a courier to surprise my mother. However......

Click, the door opened, and it was a middle-aged man, in his 40s. I was taken aback, took two steps back, and I didn't go home for a month.

"I'm sorry, I think I went to the wrong door. I turned around to leave, and my eyes swept over the door number, "Qin Fang Yazhu Du No. 77", yes?!

"You're a sniffer, aren't you?"

"Who are you?" I said, looking at the other person.

"My surname is Lei, my name is Lei Yidong, and I am your mother's colleague. He beckoned to me, "Come in, kid!"

His name sounds familiar, Mom's colleague?!

"Are you a colleague that my mom asked me to help guide the press release?" I said, walking into the room.

I looked at him seriously, although he was middle-aged, he was still heroic, his eyebrows were awe-inspiring, he was not handsome, but he had an attractive temperament, and every smile he gave me was extremely cordial and extremely ...... It's not good to say, it's not to please, it should be "asking for recognition". He said he was a colleague of his mother?! There seems to be another delicate layer of relationship.

All in all, there must be some secret in this, is he ...... him? I thought so, and was hugged into my mother's arms, and after a while, "Eat, wear, live, okay?" This sentence has been asked three times by my mother, and I only smiled sweetly at my mother to show that I was doing well, and Uncle Lei also looked at our mother and daughter and smiled.

"This is your Uncle Lei. Mom introduced

"I think we've known each other, haven't we?" Uncle Ray was very happy to arrive.

"Hello uncle. ”

"You're good. "He's really not as good as your average uncle. Looking back at my mother, she was smiling.

It seems that it is not as good as my mother's usual, I feel that I smell something unusual, is it...... Mom...... Lei Yidong ...... Lovers, I've only been home for a while, and I've had some kind of certainty.

I went upstairs with my bag and passed by the living room, only to find that all the old furniture in the house was gone, and even my mother's most cherished combo speaker had been replaced by a digital jukebox and laser speaker. Today, really...... It's strange, it seems that I am one step closer to my conjecture, I unconsciously looked back at my mother, but her face was glowing with a heartfelt light, as if people were also much more cheerful, and their whole body exuded joy, and what surprised me even more was that my mother actually put on pink light makeup today, and it seemed that something really happened. I couldn't help but turn my gaze to Uncle Lei, who had gone into the kitchen to be busy, my mother never brought her male colleagues home, could it be that they really ...... No matter, if it was really my mother who would tell me. So I went upstairs.

I changed my clothes and walked down the stairs to see my mother really want to go out.

"Mom, where are you going?"

"Wenwen, you help Uncle Lei cook, and I'll go to the supermarket to buy a few spices. "I felt a certain embarrassment in my heart, but I guess my mother had her intention in doing so.

"Good. "I didn't refuse.

Seeing my mother go out, I closed the door, thinking that I could take this opportunity to ask Uncle Lei about his relationship with my mother.

"Xiaowen, you come. Help my uncle with the cutting board. ”

"Good. "I went into the kitchen.

"Help me, this old one is always warped. You can help me out. ”

Uncle Lei took out a fish from the basin and put it on the cutting board, and then skillfully scraped the scales to remove the internal organs and gills, it seems that Uncle Lei is a veteran in cooking.

"Uncle Lei, you're good at cooking, aren't you?"

"I am the best at fishing, and when my son is in China, we father and son often compare each other. ”

"Son, you have a son?"

"Yes, he's four years older than you, and he's doing a master's degree in the United States. ”

"Oh, let's get to know each other for a chance, hehe. ”

"Okay, when he comes home, make sure you get to know each other. But first, you can get to know my youngest son. He is an undergraduate student in Beijing, but he will be leaving after a while. ”

"Also going to the United States?" I asked, continuing to help him.

"He's a secret! He's a little bit special, and when you get to know each other, he'll tell you himself. Xiaowen, what kind of fish do you like to eat? Sweet, salty, spicy?"

"I love sweets. ”

"Okay, then Uncle will make a sweet and sour one. He put the fish back in the basin.

I looked at my watch, and it was only ten o'clock.

"Uncle Lei, it's only ten o'clock, isn't it too early for us to do it now?" I asked, and subconsciously snapped my fingers, thinking about how to speak, and asked him about his relationship with my mother.

"Uncle Lei, can I ask you something?"

"Okay, you say, I'll tell you what I know. He said with a smile, as if he knew what he knew.

"Are you and my mom really colleagues," I said, putting my hands behind my back, tentatively speaking.

"This ......," he paused, "sort of, I'm just a well-known news commentator, we all eat news meals, we should be colleagues." He replied to me, but his hands were not stopping, mixing the sweet and sour sauce of the fish.

He's a celebrity, so it's no wonder that his name sounds familiar to me when I first hear him, and it's not surprising that he's known to my mom like this, but I still feel that their relationship goes beyond colleagues. I asked again:

"And how did you know each other?" I pulled out two eggs from the fridge.

"Although I am a news commentator, I also write some essays, and I love the style of the web section that your mother is responsible for, and I always publish articles there, and after a long time, I signed a contract with her department, so that I have frequent contact with your mother.

"Your mother is a very successful female editor-in-chief, quite accomplished in the field of news media, and I admire her. We've known each other about ......," he thought for a moment, "I've known each other for more than a year and a half." He put the chopped tomatoes on a plate and cut the onions with his own hands.

"Then you ......" I wanted to continue asking.

"Ahh

"What's wrong with uncle?"

"It's okay, Xiao Wen quickly give Uncle a few pieces of tissue paper. With his eyes closed, he fumbled his way to the faucet, apparently spicy from the onion.

"Tissue paper, towel huh?" I put down the egg in my hand, hurried to the bathroom, wrung the wet towel, and handed it to him.

Ten minutes later, he was finally better, and I laughed out loud as I watched him blink awkwardly and try to see normal vision. He heard my laughter and laughed along, wiping his eyes with a wet towel while shedding tears as he laughed. The strangeness between me and him was broken unconsciously, and slowly we became talking and laughing.

"Uncle, I found you a pair of sunglasses. I handed it to him

"Sunglasses? He took it and put it on. "Xiaowen, watch your uncle perform a 'blind man's onion chopping' for you. ”

"Huh?'blind man chopping shallots'?haha......" I was amused by him again, and watching him touch and touch like a blind man made me laugh even more. "Uncle, what are you doing chopping onions?"

"Make finger mutton, your mother said you love it. Isn't it?" he looked at me with sunglasses.

"Really, why don't you say it earlier, getting you a pair of glasses or dipping a knife in water earlier can relieve the spiciness of the onion, so as not to cry and laugh again. Haha!" I laughed again.

"That's why I have a sense of humor, and I'm not old-hearted. ”

"That'...... What does my uncle have to do with my mother?"

He didn't answer, but turned to me and smiled.

"Uncle, this is important to me, please tell me. I asked.

"I think you guessed it, right?" he asked me instead of answering.

Yes, yes, sure enough.

"I think mom she's in love, and it's you. "I kicked the balloon back to him.

He laughed again, this time laughing loudly, I found out that he is really a very attractive man, not only upright appearance, and hearty, his smile is not like some literati artificiality, but sincere, this is his charm point, I secretly scored 90 points for my mother's eyes, and I also had an inexplicable good impression of the man in front of me.

"You little ghost, you actually learned from me and started a dumb riddle. He still smiled.

Behind my hands, I looked at him proudly, like an old man.
