The small building of 200 Mo Qianni's house is a wooden structure, divided into two floors, and the walls are entangled with creepers, which are full of green. Outside, there is a small courtyard with chicken coops, and some onions and garlic are planted in a small area.

As soon as he entered the door and put down his luggage, Ma Guifang greeted Yang Chen, "Son-in-law Yang, your whole body is wet, let's wipe it dry first and change into clean clothes." Tonight, you'll sleep with Nizi in the east room on the second floor. ”

"Mom", Mo Qianni hurriedly shouted: "I'll sleep with you."

After all, the two had not yet had that relationship, and when Mo Qianni thought of sleeping in the same room with Yang Chen, she immediately retreated shyly.

Ma Guifang scolded with a smile: "What nonsense! It's such a big person, what do you sleep like with your mother." ”

Without waiting for Mo Qianni to fight again, Ma Guifang said to Ye Zi kindly: "Xiao Ye'er, you will just take a moment, the family is small, sleep in the same room with your aunt, okay?"

Ye Er threw a "love can't help" expression at Mo Qianni, and nodded happily.

Mo Qianni blushed and lied to her mother, but Ma Guifang didn't see it, turned her head and asked Yang Chen, "Son-in-law Yang, have you changed your clothes, I'll wash it for you, and it will be done as soon as the sun comes out tomorrow." ”

Yang Chen admired his mother-in-law who had just met, and sure enough, he had the vision to stuff his daughter into his bed, which must not be wrong.

Men always change their lines quickly, Yang Chen ran up to the prepared room on the second floor, while looking at the old bamboo and wood furniture around him, he took off his clothes and wiped them clean, and changed into a pair of long-sleeved trousers, although he didn't feel cold, but wearing it like this can make others feel more normal.

When she ran downstairs, the smoke in the kitchen had already come out, Mo Qianni finally returned to her mother, naturally there were endless topics, and the little girl Ye Zi was picking up wild vegetables on the side, and from time to time she joined in to say a few words, and the three women were happy.

Yang Chen, a big man, was always embarrassed to get involved, pulled a bamboo chair and sat in front of the courtyard, looked at the still continuous rain, burned a cigarette, and waited leisurely for dinner.

Mo Qianni, who was taking a char to burn the fire by the stove in the kitchen, saw Yang Chen enjoying Erlang's legs at the door, and secretly thought that this guy didn't know how to behave in front of his mother, so she immediately shouted: "Yang Chen, come and help my mother chop vegetables!"

Who knew that before Yang Chen stood up, Ma Guifang immediately asked Yang Chen to sit down, and said to Mo Qianni: "You girl!

Mo Qianni was said a few words by her mother, and pouted aggrievedly and did not speak.

Yang Chen saw that Mo Qianni, who was in the posture of a strong woman on weekdays, was like a little girl, and felt very funny, and smiled in the sitting position.

"Mom, you see he's laughing at me!" Mo Qianni complained to Ma Guifang in a low voice.

Ma Guifang glanced at Yang Chen, but smiled with satisfaction, and said softly to Mo Qianni: "I was worried before, what kind of son-in-law did you find for me, but now I can rest assured, Yang Son-in-law is a good man, you live with him, Mom, I don't worry." ”

"Really?" Mo Qianni was surprised to pass the review so quickly, and asked ashamedly: "Mom, how do you see it?"

"On the way back to you, he helped you carry such heavy luggage alone, and he didn't hold an umbrella. We were at the entrance of the village, and he stood so wet that he didn't complain. In front of me, the mother-in-law, he didn't deliberately curry favor, nor did he put any high profile. Such a man is simple and reliable, so ah, Nizi, this son-in-law you chose, Mom, I'm very satisfied. ”

After Mo Qianni listened, she looked at Yang Chen, who was sitting at the door and raised her eyebrows proudly, her heart was sweet, and she suddenly felt that there was nothing to be depressed about.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Yang Chen didn't know that Ma Guifang would be so optimistic about him, he took his luggage and was drenched in the rain, these things are not troublesome things at all in Yang Chen's opinion, so he naturally won't complain!

The three women were talking and cooking at the same time, and the efficiency was quite high, and after a while, they came out with five or six plates of dishes, and Mo Qianni proposed to put the table of the Eight Immortals at the door, blowing a cool breeze, so as not to be bored when eating in the house.

So, three women and one man gathered around the table under the eaves, the forty-watt tungsten light bulb in the room brought a dim yellow light, and on the table were some ordinary dishes such as pheasants and wild vegetables, and at a time when someone else's house had already fallen asleep, they ate a supper that was not too late.

Ma Guifang also took out a large plastic soda bottle out of nowhere, and said with a smile: "Come, this is the rice wine that your mother and I brewed last year, it tastes okay, I was about to finish drinking, I knew that you were coming back, so I specially kept it." ”

Yang Chen couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, okay, it's all "your mother"!

Mo Qianni said in surprise, "Mom, you still drink? I remember that you didn't drink before?"

"Hey, it's been more than ten years, Nizi, you've become a big girl, your mother and I can't change, I've nothing to do alone, and drinking some wine can relieve boredom. ”

Ma Guifang said this easily, but listening to Mo Qianni's ears, it made her nose sour, and she felt that she couldn't accompany her mother well, so she said quietly, "I'm sorry, Mom."

Ma Guifang smiled and nodded Mo Qianni's forehead, "Silly girl, what are you sorry for, now that you are developed in Zhonghai, your mother and I have a lot of face, and when I meet people, I praise me for having a good girl, and my mother is a little bored alone, and it is not that I have no food to eat and no clothes to wear." ”

Ye Zi didn't drink, he ate obediently, and Yang Chen and Mo Qianni both poured a glass.

Speaking of the old days, Mo Qianni remembered important things and hurriedly asked, "By the way, Mom, is Zhang Fugui still coming back?" She hadn't paid attention to her stepfather who had brought her countless troubles for a long time.

Speaking of Zhang Fugui, Ma Guifang's movements paused, sighed lightly, and said: "A few days ago, I heard from someone who came back from outside that he was chased by a few loan sharks outside, and then there was no news. ”

Because Zhang Fugui had already signed a divorce agreement, coupled with his fear of Mo Qianni and Yang Chen, he didn't have the courage to run home to ask for money again, so the possibility of coming back was indeed very small.

Mo Qianni breathed a sigh of relief, raised her wine glass, and said with a smile: "Mom, I respect you, you can finally live a stable life." ”

Ma Guifang also raised her glass with a smile, and said with some emotion: "Yes, it's all over, my daughter is going to get married in a blink of an eye, I'm also old, and my son-in-law Yang is also here to touch it." ”

Yang Chen naturally couldn't help but touch his future mother-in-law, this home-made rice wine is indeed mellow, he has long been greedy, there is no such delicious wine abroad.

"Ye Zi, don't be polite, just eat more vegetables at home", Ma Guifang greeted Ye Zi, who was a little restrained, and gave a chopstick chicken to the little girl's house.

Ye Zi hurriedly thanked him, put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'...... Aunt Ma, I went into the kitchen and brought out the mushroom soup chicken bones, which were almost ready. ”

"Hey, let's go", Ma Guifang said with a smile, "Ye Zi is really sensible." ”

After Ye Zi entered the kitchen, Mo Qianni said to Ma Guifang: "Mom, I came back this time and wanted to take you to Zhonghai, you can simply clean up in two days, and then come with us." ”

Ma Guifang sighed and said: "Nizi, my mother knows that you are filial, but my mother has lived on this mountain for more than 40 years, almost half a lifetime, so she just said she would leave." Besides, when you go to a big city, your eyes are black, you all have jobs, and your mother can't do anything. Even if you just eat and drink at home, clean you and so on, it will be boring. ”

"But here, so far away from Zhonghai, Mom, you are old, and there is no one to take care of, how can I rest assured. Mo Qianni said anxiously.

Ma Guifang is not a stubborn person, she also realized that no one is by her side, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble in her old age, so she had to be silent at the moment, took a sip of rice wine, and said: "Nizi, let Mom think about it, won't you leave in a few days?

Mo Qianni had no choice but to nod and put the conversation aside.

Yang Chen gnawed on wild vegetables, and felt a little big about Mo Qianni's proposal in his heart, if he really took this mother-in-law to Zhonghai, wouldn't his relationship with Mo Qianni be exposed to her old man!

However, filial piety to the old man should be, Yang Chen has to swallow it in his stomach if he suffers, who makes himself "open-minded and tolerant of all rivers"!?

At this time, a pot of leaves from the kitchen with a casserole pot was brought out of the kitchen, and a pot of soup made from wild mountain mushrooms and chicken bones was placed on the table, and a burst of charming natural fragrance immediately spread.

Ma Guifang picked up the spoon, took the bowl of the leaves, and scooped the bowl for the leaves with a smile, "Come, the leaves are hard, drink a bowl first, and then I will give a bowl to Son-in-law Yang, this wild mushroom is newly picked today, but it is fresh, drink more soup." ”

Because the weather is relatively cold, this hot soup is indeed very tempting, and soon, the four of them drank one or two bowls, and the warm soup moisturized the stomach, which was very comfortable.

The four of them were about to use their chopsticks to continue eating and chatting, but they didn't want to, when there was a knock on the big wooden door of the courtyard......

"Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk".

Attached to the outside of the wooden door was an iron ring, which was continuously struck.

"Why is there still anyone coming at such a late hour?" asked Mo Qianni suspiciously.

Ma Guifang also wondered, "Who is outside?"

She asked, but still no one answered, just a "tuk-tuk" sound.

A strange smile flashed on Yang Chen's face, "Just take a look, maybe it's not a human, it's a ghost?"

"What are you talking about!?Where the hell did you come from!" Mo Qianni pushed Yang Chen dissatisfiedly, in fact, the environment at the moment was gloomy and cold, and she was a little scared.

"I'll open the door!" Ye Zi was bold, volunteered to put down the dishes and chopsticks, ran out of the eaves, and ran to the door in the rain.

At this moment, Ma Guifang and Mo Qianni, mother and daughter, who were sitting at the table, suddenly held their foreheads in unison and shook their heads in pain.

"How...... Think of it this way...... Sleep ......"

Mo Qianni muttered, and directly "snapped" and fell on the table, and fell asleep!

"Smack"!

Ma Guifang also suddenly fell on the table, and brought the wine glass on the table to the ground for a while, but fortunately it was a wooden board, and the glass rang and rolled to the side, but it didn't break.

Seeing that the mother and daughter both fell asleep, Yang Chen was not too excited, but looked at the door.

At this moment, the leaves that ran to the door also happened to open the wooden door......
