032 Mother's thoughts
New Year's Day and weekends together, Li Yu first went back to the old house according to his habit, he didn't come over often when he worked, and he rested at Wen Yong at night, so he hadn't had a good meal with Li's mother for a while.
In the empty and cold old mansion of the Li family, the sound of Li Yu's parking alarm the women in the house. As soon as Mother Jiang in the room poked her head out and saw that it was Li Yu, she hurriedly greeted: "The young master is back." Mother Li then walked to the door, a well-maintained face with deep eye lines on her smile.
Li Yu called before he came back, and the meals in the old mansion had already been arranged. He was talking to Mother Li in the living room, and Mother Jiang turned into the kitchen to help.
The old house is empty, the status of Li's Jiahua is there, he doesn't receive anyone else on weekdays, and he hasn't seen his son for a long time, Li's mother has a lot of things to say to him, but the topic still goes around and around on his life's events.
"Well, do you have any of the girls I told you about last time?"
Li Yu's appearance is three points similar to Li's mother, and more like his father who has been missing for many years. Looking at the portrait of her husband's face, Li's mother felt more and more that her son's lifelong event must be put on the agenda.
The Li family, which was originally lively and lively, is really clean now.
Li Yu took a sip of tea with a smile on his face: "The company has been busy recently. ”
"I know your company is busy, but no matter how busy you are, you can't delay a lifelong event!" Mother Li was dissatisfied with his attitude: "You can go to the backyard to see it later!"
The sudden change of topic made Li Yu not react for a while: "What are you going to see?"
"Dogs, my dogs, three born in this womb, three. Mother Li said, her tone was slightly angry.
Li Yu now feels blocked when he hears the dogs in the old house, and he talks about those dogs when his mother is fine, and he called him specifically when he gave birth last time. His tone was agitated, and he thought something was wrong.
"I don't ask you to find a daughter-in-law who will only give birth, but son, you should also find a girlfriend at your age. Mother Li took a sip of tea and continued: "I've been busy since you accepted the company, so I didn't put pressure on you on this. But now Lee's Jiahua has moved forward steadily, and the project in the north of the city is also a flat river. Our Li family has endless money, you can take a break for a while and find yourself a suitable wife. ”
Li Yu listened carefully to his mother's words, and asked Li's mother first: "What kind of wife does my mother think is suitable for me?"
"Can't you find this yourself?"
"I want to know what my mother thinks is right in her heart. ”
"The family background can not be the best, but it can't be bad either. Otherwise, your vision and ideas will be very skewed. Behave appropriately, treat people and things gently and generously, can take care of you, and can also assume the identity of the mother of Lee Ka Wah Housewife. Mother Li talked eloquently, her daughter-in-law who had thought about her for so many years had already changed everything she wanted into a standard.
Li's mother's real name is Ruan Zhi, she was originally a young lady from another wealthy family in City A, she has been strictly educated by everyone since she was a child, and she is now nearly sixty years old but has a beautiful physique, her posture is still upright, and there are only scattered fine lines on her face. Li's mother is also in good health, insisting on exercising and walking the dog every day, and she is less likely to get sick. She has the bearing of everyone's wealthy family, and she also has the expectation of being a mother.
Li Yu suddenly fell silent.
What Mother Li said just now, he subconsciously compared Wen Yong. It wasn't until he suddenly realized that he already had this thought.
But the identity of gentleness ...... It will definitely not get the consent of Li's mother.
He had to think about it.
Seeing his silence, Mother Li was overjoyed, and hesitated on her face: "Son, do you have someone you like?"
Li Yu came back to his senses, looked at his mother, and spoke calmly, with an indifferent expression: "No." ”
Mother Li was instantly deflated.
Li Yu looked at her mother with a obviously depressed expression, and she couldn't bear it. In fact, he wanted to tell his mother that he had someone he liked, and he wanted to hold it in his hands for the rest of his life. But Wen Yong's current identity is embarrassing, and if his mother intervenes, it will definitely be unsightly. Wen Ji has a high spirit, in case the result is something he can't bear, he doesn't want to take such a risk.
There is also the affection for him.
During this time, the woman's attitude towards him was changing, and he was happy to look at it. But the name she shouted in her mouth when she was unconscious, that kind of reluctance and affection made Li Yu think of the chest blockage. He also once wondered why he suddenly agreed when he met the following year when he rejected him so harshly. In the ten years that we have never met, what was her experience and feelings?
How much did she love that man?
Why did she leave?
If it weren't for that illness, would she have been hiding it from him and her feelings?
But so what? As long as he understood his thoughts, he wouldn't let Wen Ji leave his side again.
He will find a way to give Wen Yi an identity worthy of her and keep her by his side.
Here, Mother Jiang walked happily: "Madame, young master, the food is ready." ”
Li Yu looked at Jiang Ma, who was dressed plainly but had an obviously good texture, and nodded slightly. Jiang's mother grew up with her mother since she was a child, and the relationship between the two has always been good, Li's mother also brought Jiang's mother over when she married into the Li family, and she has been with her for so many years, compared to Li's mother's brothers and sisters who are busy with their own families, Jiang's mother has a deeper relationship with mother and son.
Here, Mother Li had already stood up and walked towards the dining room.
The architecture of the Li family's old house, inherited for several generations, can be seen everywhere the precipitation of time and the heritage of the family, from the small green bricks that pave the way at the door, the two porcelain kiln vases of more than 100 years on the inside of the door, and the top ebony furniture that can be seen everywhere in the living room. There is also a ten-meter-long golden silk nanmu moire decorated dining table in front of Li Yu in the dining room. This is different from the popular likes of young people now, but it is where Li Yu grew up.
Mother Jiang put the last dish of steamed cinnamon fish on the table, with a rich smile on her face: "I haven't made it for a long time, it's all fresh ingredients, young master taste it, but it's still the original taste?"
Li Yu and Li Mu, who had cleaned their hands, had already sat in their positions, their faces, and the same noble bearing, and even the posture of sitting upright during the meal was very similar. Mother Jiang looked proud in her heart, this is the young master of her family.
After dinner, Li Yu talked with Li's mother in the living room. After eating, the servants gathered in the living room until one o'clock. According to the custom of previous years, Li Yu would send New Year's red envelopes to his subordinates on big days such as New Year's Day and Chinese New Year's Eve.
According to the habits of previous years, like Jiang's mother and Jiang's husband's husband, Uncle Liao, who is the housekeeper of the old house, are people who have worked for the Li family for most of their lives, Li Yu will give 5,000 to 10,000 red envelopes, and others will give 3,000 to 5,000 red envelopes according to the length of working hours and the difficulty of the work. This is the owner's intention, and it is also a lively and festive one. But this time, Jiang's mother took the red envelope, and she knew that the amount of money was different when she looked at the thickness, so she and her husband looked at each other and accepted it happily.
Li Yu stayed in the old house until after dinner, during which he received a call from Gu Wei Yuxu, and the man told Li Yu very seriously over there that he was coming back.
After Li Yu left, Jiang's mother and her family totaled the amount in the red envelope, which was an integer of 20,000. When waiting for Mother Li to sleep, Mother Jiang told her about it, and Mother Li didn't take it to heart, for a family like them, 12,000 is just a number.
But Jiang's mother is not down-to-earth, they are in the Li family, and the treatment has always been very good, and the Li family has never really treated her as a subordinate. It is said that the red envelopes of this New Year's Festival are all for a festive time, but 20,000 yuan is enough to catch up with their monthly salary.
Mother Li sighed lightly at Jiang's mother's anxiety: "It's all about so many years of love, that is, you have a child, otherwise Li Yu will give you a pension in the future, but it's just 20,000 yuan, don't take it to heart." ”
Jiang's mother is very measured in her life, and she has been in the Li family for so many years, and she has never exceeded her duty. That's why he has been trusted by Li's mother for many years. When there is no one in private, the two of them get along like sisters, and Mother Li also told Jiang's mother a lot of things in her heart.
"It's New Year's Day soon. Mother Li diverted the topic: "Didn't you say some time ago that some family members handed over the post and wanted to come over to visit on New Year's Day?"
Jiang's mother immediately replied: "Yes, many people have handed over the post. Or do you want to pick some people, as you always do?"
"How is Ah Yu's itinerary arranged?"
"The young master is still with the people of the company as always. Li Yu explained this in the afternoon, but at that time, Li's mother was taking a nap in the room.
"The company's affairs are all on him alone, I can't help much, so let's stabilize in the rear and help him maintain the relationship between the family!"
Jiang's mother knew that Mother Li was distressed about her son, and if Mr. was in the young master, she would not be so tired. But sir...... It has been many years since there has been no news. Thinking of this, Jiang's mother felt a little more distressed about Li's mother.
The marriage of a city's top wealthy family is mostly a combination of commercial interests, and Li's mother marrying Li's father was also the beginning of this. It's just that after marriage, the rare fit between the two has produced feelings in their later lives. Mother Li is single-minded to Mr. Li, and Mr. Li is not like other men who have a family, he is outside in the twilight, and all he has in his life is a Li mother. The two love and harmony with each other as husband and wife, and they have always been a good story in high society until Mr. Li suddenly disappeared.
"I've read the post that came over this time, and many families have girls of the right age. Jiang's mother reminded.
"Then take it all. Mother Li's mind turned: "I'll take a look at the faces of these girls first, after New Year's Day, it's Ah Yu's birthday, and then we'll have a birthday party, so that Ah Yu can take a look again." ”
Jiang Ma thought about the feasibility of this method and questioned: "Young master...... Will you agree?"
Mother Li finally showed a smile before going to bed: "He's thirty years old, no matter what, he should do one." You don't know that kid from the Gu family, his son is almost three years old. "Gu Wei Yuxu's mother, they don't know what they know, they only know that one year, Gu Wei Yuxu came back for the New Year, and suddenly hugged a child, and told the family that it was his species.
There is still a difference between men and women in society, if it is a daughter's family who takes back a child like this, I don't know what the consequences will face, but the man will be scolded a few times at most. Besides, Gu Wei Yuxu's son they have seen, the one who looks like a cute one, like the good money boy on TV, white and tender, people can't help but love it.
The two of them suddenly became energetic when they talked about the child, and Mother Li didn't sleep anymore, and talked about the cuteness of the Gu family's child face-to-face with Jiang's mother.
Jiang's mother also laughed, she married a few years late to Li's mother, her son just graduated from college and entered Li's Jiahua, and it will take a few years to get married and have children. After all, she is a person who wants to be a grandmother, and when she talks about cute children, she smiles with folds on her face.
"When I came back last year, the child was just over a year old, and the hearts of those who shouted loudly and loudly at a grandma were melted. Gu Wei Yuxu brought her children over to pay New Year's greetings last year, and Li's mother saw that she liked to leave people until dinner. At that time, Gu Wei Yuxu joked that Li Yu would get married soon, give her a lot of grandchildren, so that she couldn't hug her. Mother Li thought about that scene and smiled brightly.
"Speaking of which, I don't know when I'll see that kid this year. Mother Li's voice was full of nostalgia.
Jiang's mother cleaned up the bed for her and said with a smile: "There is still more than a month to go before the New Year, and it's almost over." ”
Mother Li thought too: "Let's go to the mall to buy something for the child after a while." "The last time the child came in advance, she didn't say hello in advance, so she gave a red envelope and didn't prepare a gift.
Mother Jiang looked at the joy on Li's mother's face and nodded yes.
The two chattered for a while, and then Mother Li lay down to rest.
When Jiang's mother went downstairs, she glanced at the clock on the stairs, and it was half past ten. She was stunned for a moment before she slowly descended the stairs, her gaze gradually shifting from looking down to level, and the living room was surrounded by the priceless furniture.
This home is really quiet.
