【016】Lantern Festival (II)
Liu Ruyan leaned against the wall, put her hands into her pockets, and watched Lin Gang busy. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info thought of Lin Gang's self-taught cooking process as soon as he first said, his nose was sore, and tears almost flowed out, a few words that day, outlining the hardships of his life, she found that if Eleven was a chance encounter, the shopping mall was an accident, New Year's Day was a collision of personalities, the New Year's Day was a potential youth surge, and visiting Phoenix Mountain was to open his heart, and now, he has completely fallen in love with him.
"Do you want me to help?" Liu Ruyan stood next to her, wanting to give Lin Gang a hand, but Lin Gang acted sharply, and she couldn't intervene at all, she opened her mouth to ask, originally to remind Lin Gang that she was by her side, and she wanted to create a sweet atmosphere of husband and wife.
"No need, you can sit with your aunt. Lin Gang didn't understand what Liu Ruyan meant, and refused directly.
Liu Ruyan was a little disappointed, sighed secretly, and walked out of the kitchen.
The apple in Liu's mother's hand was originally peeled for Lin Gang to eat, but the apple was not cut halfway, Lin Gang cooked, and Liu's mother had to keep holding the apple in her hand, looking at the young man in the kitchen, as if thinking about something.
Liu Ruyan returned to the living room, her mother was looking at the two of them with a smile, and when she saw her daughter coming over, she stretched out her hand to pull her daughter to sit beside her, Liu Ruyan sat down next to her mother, and Liu's mother stuffed the apple in her hand to her daughter.
"Cub, is this young man reliable?" The mother gently hugged her heart and looked at Lin Gang kindly, although her daughter had already told the young man about the situation, she was always concerned about her daughter's happiness, and there was always a question in her heart that needed to be further confirmed, even if this confirmation was still the same as she had heard, she just wanted to hear it again.
"Mom, didn't I already tell you, he is from the countryside, he came out to work without graduating from junior high school, and he has been earning money for his mother's treatment for more than ten years, and finally cured his mother's illness, but because he has no money, he has not yet started a family, and he is very honest and hardworking. Liu Mu nodded with a smile, although it was a repetitive language, her heart was much more steady.
"Cub, mom is still the same sentence, don't ask you to find money and status, a woman is to find a family, loving, filial piety man, your father is an example, he has money, status, and we have ended up with a mother and daughter dependent on each other, our family money is not a problem, the problem is that you have to find a good man who can accompany you for a lifetime. As she spoke, a stream of tears streamed down her mother's emaciated cheeks.
Liu Ruyan saw her mother shed tears, and quietly tried to remove the tears for her mother, so she snuggled in her mother's arms.
"Alright, the dish is ready, now it's time to eat. Lin Gang cleaned up the stove and beckoned Liu Ruyan and her mother to eat.
Mother Liu took out a bottle of red wine, poured a little for everyone, and beckoned Lin Gang to sit down.
Lin Gang picked up the cup and said to Mother Liu: "Auntie, I came in a hurry today, and I didn't give you the gifts I prepared, I wish you a long and healthy life, and all the best." ”
Liu's mother also happily picked up the cup: "It's good to come, I like it, Xiaolin, come, let's have a toast, Rourou, you also have a cup." After speaking, the old mother had tears in her eyes, dried up the wine, took out a piece of meal paper, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, these tears are not sad tears, they are tears of happiness, they are attachments to life, and they are concerned about their daughters.
I don't know if it's because she's in a good mood, or if the dishes are very much with Liu Ruyan's appetite, she actually added two meals tonight. Liu Mu smiled and quipped: "Rourou, if you don't lose weight, if you eat like this, you will soon become a big fat girl, who dares to ask you?"
"Mom..."Liu Ruyan stomped her feet coquettishly, "Why are you making fun of your daughter in front of outsiders?, I don't know how to have such a good appetite tonight." ”
"Outsiders, how can you speak, Xiao Lin is not an outsider, I want to recognize him as my godson, so that he can come every day, you ask Xiao Lin to cook for you every day, and I can retire with peace of mind." Yao's mother said with a pun.
Liu Ruyan knew the meaning of her mother's "retirement" in her heart, but she only felt a heartache, thinking that her mother would die soon, thinking of her lonely person, and thinking that Lin Gang didn't know whether it was interesting to her at the moment, so she sighed softly.
Lin Gang saw Liu Ruyan sighing secretly, thinking that he had done something wrong, and it was inconvenient to say it, so he asked: "Ruyan, why are you unhappy, I didn't say the wrong thing today?" He originally wanted to be humorous, so that Liu Ruyan remembered the reason why he met him, and he was happy.
"What do you think about when you eat your meal? But it was indeed Liu Ruyan who came inexplicably to say this, which made Lin Gang and the second monk puzzled.
"Rourou, the first time Xiao Yang came to the door, why did you talk like this?" Seeing that her daughter's mood was not very good, Liu's mother immediately stopped her, afraid that her emotions would develop again, and at the same time understood her daughter's mood.
"I'm sorry, I'm not angry with you, I'm unhappy thinking about other things at work, don't be weird. Liu Ruyan also felt that she had lost her temper, and hurriedly apologized to Lin Gang. Lin Gang didn't take this matter to heart, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, how can I be angry, I hope you are happy every day." After the meal, Lin Gang rushed to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then came to the living room to play with Liu Ruyan's mother and daughter, and Liu's mother took Lin Gang's hand and asked the long and short questions, asking the old people in the family if they were okay? Ask if the mountains in their hometown are high? Is the water sweet? How are the folk customs? Anyway, you can ask whatever you think.
Liu Ruyan sat on the side watching TV, eating lychees, and knew that she couldn't plug in, so she simply watched TV wholeheartedly.
"Oh, look at me, I nag so much, I even forgot the time, okay, it's too late today, I won't keep you, remember to come more in the future." Liu Mu looked at her watch and said to Lin Gang embarrassedly.
Lin Gang sat patiently with Liu's mother, he knew that such a single mother was very lonely in her heart, and he couldn't bear to interrupt a poor mother's desire to drive away loneliness. It's not that Liu's mother is worried that they will go to work tomorrow, he will continue to chat with Liu's mother.
Lin Gang stood up and said to Mother Liu: "Auntie, I'll go back, I have to go to work tomorrow, and I'll come to see you after a while." ”
"Okay, good, child, you have to come often, Rourou, send Xiao Yang. Mother Liu turned around and urged Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan was dressed in civilian clothes and sent Lin Gang downstairs, and Lin Gang hurriedly asked Liu Ruyan to go back: "Ruyan, it's cold outside, go back, don't freeze." ”
The word "Ruyan" made Liu Ruyan happy for a while.
Liu Ruyan glanced at Lin Gang, didn't make a sound, didn't stop her feet, and continued to send Lin Gang downstairs. When she was about to reach the staircase, Liu Ruyan took out a few hundred-yuan bills from her pocket and handed them to Lin Gang: "The money to buy you a gift." ”
Lin Gang sank his face: "Xiaoliu, who do you think of me?" After speaking, he reached out and took the money and put it back in Liu Ruyan's pocket, Liu Ruyan did not refuse, and let Lin Gang put his hand into his pocket.
Walking out of the stairs, it was raining lightly outside, the cold wind was still a little biting, Liu Ruyan shivered, and then sneezed again, Lin Gang took off his coat and put it on Liu Ruyan, Liu Ruyan hurriedly took it off and gave it back to Lin Gang: "How can you take off your coat? Put it on, the weather is so cold, and it's raining, you will get sick." ”
"I'm a big man, my body is great, it doesn't matter, you better put it on, don't catch a cold. After speaking, Lin Gang rushed into the vast night.
