After lunch, Li Yuan returned to the rental house to catch up on sleep, and just lay down for a while, his mobile phone rang.

The call was from Pang Tao.

"Li Yuan, where are you? Your mother is back......

Li Yuan was sleeping in a daze, but after hearing it, he woke up instantly, jumped off the bed, ran to the desk, and pulled out the pager from the drawer, and found that there were several paging on it.

It's over, it's a big problem......

"Hey, hey?" Pang Tao asked, "Are you there?"

"Ah, where's my mother?"

"It's home, you should go back quickly, I don't think her face is very good. ”

"Got it, hang it!"

Li Yuan hung up the phone, hurriedly got dressed, ran to the door to remember something, went back to pack some things, and then rushed downstairs, took a taxi and rushed home.

……

When he got home, Li Yuan took out the key and opened the door, and said as he walked inside, "Mom, I'm back." ”

No one answered.

Li Yuan tiptoed into the living room and found his mother sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face.

This is a precursor to a volcanic eruption.

Li Yuan's heart tightened, and he whispered, "Mom, you're back......"

Li Xiulan didn't react, looking at her heaving chest, she was obviously angry.

Li Yuan called again: "Mom......"

Li Xiulan finally reacted.

She glanced up at Li Yuan and said coldly, "If I don't come back, are you going to heaven?"

As she spoke, she stood up suddenly, slapped Li Yuan hard, and scolded: "You are really capable, you won't go back home, and you won't go to school!

"Mom, don't be angry, how do you say this......"

"What do you say! and how do you lie to me?"

"No, you listen to me......"

Li Yuan took a deep breath, starting from Pang Guo's family inviting him to dinner, and explained what happened before. Of course, there is nothing about Ma Jun, if Li Xiulan knows that he is still connected to the "underworld", his two legs will not be wanted.

……

After listening to Li Yuan's words, he and Guan Xuedao realized what happened in the past few days when they brought down the Jiang family's father and son, and Li Xiulan interrupted him.

"So you lied to me when you said you went to the essay contest?"

"The game is real, but it's ......"

Li Yuan wanted to distinguish, but seeing that Li Xiulan's face was wrong, he lowered his head and whispered, "That time it was...... It's a lie. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Li Xiulan to speak, he hurriedly took out a thick pile of printer paper and a letter from his backpack and handed it to Li Xiulan.

"But the competition is indeed real, this is the invitation letter sent to me by the organizer, this is the novel I wrote, I took leave mainly to write this novel, and Principal Li can testify to me......"

Li Yuan then told Li Xiulan about the preparation of the book.

Li Xiulan's face turned slightly pale.

"Did you really ask for leave from school?"

"Why am I lying to you, I have the principal's phone number here, you can call him if you don't believe it......"

Li Yuan took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Li Xiulan glanced at it and asked, "Where did the phone come from?"

"Well, I bought it myself. ”

"Where did you get the money?"

"Doing business earns ......"

Li Xiulan snapped and threw the printed version of the novel in her hand on the coffee table.

"Don't just talk about it! Honestly, what have you been doing lately?"

"That's right, I went to the provincial capital to meet a person before, his name is Ma Nan, he studied computers, and as soon as we put it together, we opened an Internet café......"

has already talked about this, Li Yuan simply didn't do anything, and told Li Xiulan what happened later.

Afraid that Li Xiulan would not believe it, he took out his bank passbook and handed it to Li Xiulan.

"This is the money made in the recent period......"

Li Xiulan looked at the numbers on the passbook, her eyes were a little dazed.

To be honest, until now she can't believe that her son has done so many things during the time she went out to work.

Li Xiulan had mixed feelings in her heart.

If you want to say surprise, I have already experienced it just now, but now it is more likely to be gratifying.

She looked up at her son—before he knew it, he had grown so tall......

……

It took Li Yuan a long time to explain everything clearly.

Of course, Li Xiulan couldn't just listen to his side of the story, during which he asked him to call Principal Li, Ma Nan and others separately, and learned that Li Yuan didn't lie and deceive her, so he was relieved.

The anger subsided, and Li Xiulan began to feel distressed again.

She gently touched her son's face and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. ”

"It's no wonder it doesn't hurt. Li Xiulan sighed, "I called you last night, but you didn't reply, I thought you were sleeping." When I came back this morning, I saw that the things at home hadn't changed at all, and I didn't come back if you didn't come back, and I couldn't find it, and my mother was afraid of ......."

"Mom......"

Li Yuan hugged her and said, "Mom, it's me who is wrong, I promise not to hide it from you in the future." ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Xiulan rubbed Li Yuan's head, looked him up and down, and said, "I haven't eaten well recently, I've lost weight." Did you eat at noon, didn't eat your mother to make it for you. ”

"I've eaten it, you haven't eaten it yet, I'll make it for you. ”

Li Yuan didn't let Li Xiulan do anything, and walked into the kitchen......

"Alright, you might as well stay there. ”

Li Xiulan looked at Li Yuan's clumsy appearance, angry and funny, drove him aside, and ordered a bowl of noodles by herself.

"You won't go out in the afternoon, will you? Mom will make you something to eat in the evening. ”

"Don't go out. ”

"Hmm. Li Xiulan nodded and said, "Remember to call your classmates, if I hadn't happened to meet Pang Tao today, I wouldn't have found you." You're really, people have invited you to dinner, and you don't say please go back......"

Li Yuan was embarrassed and said: "I'm afraid it's not convenient today." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Guo Hua and his father went to Jinmen, and Zhao Min was hospitalized......"

"What's going on? What is Zhao Min's illness?"

"Well, that's what happened......"

Li Yuan told Li Xiulan about Zhao Min.

"How can this be like this!"

Li Xiulan was angry and distressed when she heard this, and said, "That's it, tomorrow you go to see her with your mother, what does she like to eat?"

"I don't really know. ”

"Forget it, don't worry about it, Mom will go to the vegetable market to buy a chicken in a while, make a chicken soup for her, think about what else ......"

……

The next day, Li Yuan and Li Xiulan, mother and son, came to Ren County by car early in the morning to visit Zhao Min, who was hospitalized.

"Is it better, if there is anything you want to eat, just tell your aunt......

Li Xiulan sat on the edge of the hospital bed, shushing and asking for warmth.

"Thank you, Auntie, I'm much better. ”

Zhao Min rarely showed his weak side and insisted on sitting up and talking.

"Just lie down. ”

Li Yuan picked up a snake fruit from the fruit bowl, took a bite, and said disgustedly: "It's really unpalatable!"

Li Xiulan glared at Li Yuan, and said angrily: "It was bought for Zhao Min, who let you eat it!"

"Didn't I try it for her first. ”

Li Yuan smiled and said to Zhao Min: "My mother has to buy it, I told her that it is unpalatable, and she still doesn't believe it......"

While talking, Xu Xiaowen and Shen Zhuyin walked in from outside.

"Uncle Zhao is good, Aunt Li is good!"

Xu Xiaowen greeted politely and introduced Shen Zhuyin.

Shen Zhuyin met Li Yuan's mother for the first time, and after introducing each other, they quickly became familiar with each other.

Li Xiulan chatted while observing the two girls.

Xu Xiaowen has an introverted personality, listening quietly to everyone's chat, always with a faint smile on her face.

In contrast, Shen Zhuyin is much more lively, chattering non-stop, but it is still very likable.

Li Xiulan's eyes drifted over the two girls, and the woman's unique intuition told her that both children liked their sons.

It's embarrassing.

Li Xiulan looked at it and felt that the two girls were very good. Xu Xiaowen is quiet and elegant, Shen Zhuyin is lively and atmospheric, the grades are very good, and the appearance is even more comparable...... Li Xiulan couldn't help but glance at Li Yuan, thinking that her son probably didn't know how to choose.

Forget it, my son is still young anyway, and when he grows up, let him have a headache himself.

……

Shen Zhuyin quickly noticed the snake fruit in the fruit bowl.

"It's imported from the United States. Shen Zhuyin asked.

"What is imported from the United States?" asked Xu Xiaowen curiously.

"That's it," Shen Zhuyin pointed to the snake fruit in the fruit bowl and said, "This is called snake fruit, my aunt bought it for me when she came back from abroad before, it seems to cost dozens of yuan a piece." ”

When Xu Xiaowen heard it, she was immediately startled: "It's so expensive!"

Not only Xu Xiaowen was taken aback, but everyone was taken aback except for Li Yuan and Shen Zhuyin.

Especially Zhao Baozheng, when he heard that one would cost dozens of yuan, he couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said to Li Xiulan: "How can you buy such an expensive thing?" No, you can quickly bring it back in a while......

Li Xiulan was also a little confused.

The fruit was picked by her and Li Yuan from the Pang family supermarket, and she took a few when she thought it looked good, and in the end it was the money that Li Yuan paid, and she didn't know the price.

"It's not that exaggerated. Li Yuan hurriedly said: "This is not imported, it is grown in Dongshan, and it is only five yuan per catty." ”

"That's expensive enough, and Red Fuji is only a dollar a catty. Although Zhao Baozheng still thinks it is very expensive, it is somewhat acceptable. He took out an unwashed snake fruit from the plastic bag, looked at it, and said, "Don't say it, it's indeed better than ordinary apples." ”

Shen Zhuyin realized at this time that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't debunk Li Yuan, but he couldn't see the Star-Spangled Banner logo on the apple.

……

visited Zhao Min, and as soon as she came out of the hospital, Li Xiulan pulled Li Yuan and interrogated her.

"What kind of snake fruit is that, it's really that expensive?"

"Hmm...... Pretty much. ”

"How much?"

"Thirty dollars a piece. ”

"Ah!" Li Xiulan let out a low cry and said, "Why didn't you remind me?"

"I thought you knew. If you're distressed, why don't I take it back?"

Li Yuan was about to go to the hospital.

"Nonsense!" Li Xiulan glared at him, "How can you ask for the things you sent out! Besides, Zhao Min's child is also ...... to blame."

Li Xiulan said, still a little distressed about money, and said: "I don't dare to spend money indiscriminately in the future." ”

"Isn't money earned for spending, don't worry, your son has a great ability to make money. ”

"That can't be messed around. Li Xiulan has a different view, "You are still young now, and when you grow up and get married in the future, there will be more places to spend money......

When Li Xiulan said this, she suddenly asked coldly: "Which of the two girls do you prefer?"
