On the way home, Shu Neem drove, Gao Min looked out the window, the small northern city under the warm winter sun contained a warm swallow, like a slow song, left behind by time, the gray family buildings maintained the architectural style of the early eighties, and the familiar pedestrians on the street corners carried vegetable baskets to greet each other, with a warm smile on their faces.

The pigeons swept across the grey blue sky, leaving a loud whistle.

Gao Min's gaze fell on the side of Shu Neem's face, with unconscious tenderness, because of a person, he fell in love with a city.

Shu Neem drove the behemoth, shuttling through the familiar streets and alleys, and noticed Gao Min looking at her, thinking that he wanted to chat, and asked casually: "Is it bland?" ”

Gao Min came back to his senses from his thoughts, and it took a long time to realize what Shu Nee was asking.

"There is a strong sense of humanity, and I can see that the people who live here live a very leisurely life"

Shu Mei glanced at the vegetable market on the side of the road, it was close to noon, it was the time of fireworks in the world, and the people who bought vegetables and went home to cook walked back unhurriedly, met acquaintances, and held hands and talked affectionately.

"The place is small, half of the city is full of acquaintances, look down and don't look up to see it, the favor is too strong, sometimes I can't stand it, seven aunts and eight aunts worry about your affairs as if they worry about their own affairs, it's annoying!"

Gao Minguaner, "The Metropolis is indifferent, do you like it?" ”

"Ouch, Mr. Gao, where is the paradise for older unmarried people like us? Isn't it in a reinforced concrete forest with little human affection? ”

"Sounds like you have a lot of opinions about your hometown"

"It's not...... If you go south, the small towns are developing rapidly, and every day is the same, and when you look at it again, it will remain unchanged as if the spring breeze of reform has not blown. Why can't it be developed, there are many ways here, I believe you understand", Shu Neem pouted sarcastically, "It's not without benefits, I won't get lost when I go home for a year and a half, the street is still that street, the road is still that road - you want to sigh that the world has changed, there is no chance for the white clouds and dogs, old acquaintances, old places!" ”

The streets and alleys are hung with five-colored flags and red lanterns, the Spring Festival is approaching, the whole city is filled with a festive atmosphere, the New Year's flavor is strong, Gao Min retracted his gaze, smiled, "I like it very much, probably have an eye"

Shu Neem parked the car in front of a two-story small building with a single family, she pushed the car door, stepped on the ground, and was about to get out of the car, suddenly turned her head, squeezed her eyes at Gao Min, and gloated: "Hey, man, our people here are very kind and experienced, I hope your good first impression will not change"

Is this a reminder? Gao Min smiled dumbly, standing on the street with his suitcase and looking back, there were many two-story small buildings with similar structures, "Villa area? ”

Shu Neem laughed, "Is there such a rough villa area?" I forgot to tell you that our area is called an urban village, which is a self-built house, and the rich people in hand go to buy a frame structure building with an elevator, and the rest of the people are waiting for the government to demolish and tear it out - go, let's enter the door, I will take you around when I turn around, there is an ancient city wall that is still worth seeing! ”

There was a red □□ parked inside the gate, and Shu Neem said casually: "My mother's means of transportation has a higher status than mine, and people like me who have been away all year round are almost removed from the family."

There is nothing to see outside, there is a cave in the small courtyard, bamboo and pomegranate trees are planted in front of the shadow wall, and the plum in the corner of the wall is exuding fragrance.

"My mom likes to play with flowers and grass, cultivate interests in advance, and prepare for retirement"

Gao Min stopped to watch, the layout of the courtyard was well reflected, and the artistic conception was far-reaching. On the left side of the wooden plank road, there is a group of Dongyingfeng landscaping sketches, neatly built evergreen shrubs, stone lanterns, water purification bowls, water bamboo tubes, stone squatting, and red leaves are planted on the side. There are a few flower beds and vegetable patches on the right side, and although the grass and trees are withered, they will surely bloom in the spring of the next year.

"It's not bad, the landscape materials are all pulled back from the natural stone market, I originally wanted to make a Chinese-style courtyard, but unfortunately the decent Taihu Lake stone is too expensive, make do with it"

"I think it's very good, it's quite wild"

"I went to Dali with my mother to play, lived in the inn at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, and when she came back, she never forgot it, and she was so fascinated that we made a copycat version of the cat and the tiger, compared with your garden, it must be nondescript."

There are two red gauze lanterns hanging under the eaves of the porch, and the martial arts wind is blowing in the face, which really looks like a sharp-edged inn. Gao Min clenched his fists to his lips and coughed lightly, hiding his smile, the preferences of this mother and daughter are ancient and modern, one Chinese and one foreign, they are really different.

The wooden lattice doors and windows of the mortise and tenon structure are antique, Gao Min stood under the porch and changed into the loafers that had been prepared, Shu Neem opened the door and shouted at the top of his voice, "Mom, we are back"

"Come on, come on, I said why don't you tell me when your kid is about to arrive, the meal was made in advance, and now it's cold, and you have to go back to the hot pot", the people upstairs said one after another, with affection, and came down from the second floor in a hurry.

Fang Ling is nearly fifty years old, slender, well-maintained, a pair of apricot eyes are amiable, and the eyebrows are not very similar to Shu Neem, after a skimming glance, Gao Min lowered his eyelashes, held the junior salute, and said respectfully: "Auntie, I'm sorry to disturb"

Fang Ling was first surprised and then delighted, it is really rare for young people to be courteous and thoughtful now.

Shu Neem was also stunned, Gao Min bowed, the posture was like meeting the national leader, solemn over-the-top, glanced at him, with a serious face, setting off the enthusiastic Ms. Fang with a sense of joy.

Seeing that his mother was not embarrassed or embarrassed, Shu Neem's eyes quickly said: "Mom, let me introduce you, this is the friend I told you to be a guest, Gao Min." He gave him that dark green cashmere shawl! ”

Shu Neem called home on the way, vague and did not explain clearly, now look, the visitor is white and polite, Fang Ling is happy in his eyes, and secretly said that his daughter really has a hand, not to talk about friends, just talk about a long face, look at this young man, to look good, to have a height, really all bad, all dissatisfied.

Shu Neem was shocked to see it beside her, Ms. Fang's eyes were wrong, how could she look like she was looking at her son-in-law, before she could clarify the misunderstanding, Fang Ling rushed over with an arrow step, and took Gao Min's arm upstairs with her familiarity, "Let's go, the upstairs room is cleaned up, put down the luggage to wash and eat, Auntie made you braised pork and lentils stewed noodles, I don't know if it suits your taste?" ”

In the eyes of many people, including his mother, he is regarded as a precocious prodigy, and the prodigy should be able to handle anything, no need to be cordial and warm, he was raised in strict accordance with the rules of the adult world, so the sudden care and thoughtfulness made him a little at a loss, but he quickly calmed down and respectfully answered Shu's mother by asking him about his eating habits and starting a series of inquiries.

Shu Neem was left behind by her own mother, her head was as big as a bucket in an instant, Ms. Fang touched the bottom to check the Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, everyone could hear it, Gao Min didn't know how to divert the topic wittily, she was usually not very able to break it!

Fang Ling didn't know that her daughter was complaining about her, so she sent Gao Min into the guest room, chattered and talked about the family routine for a while, found out the family situation of the prospective son-in-law, and walked out with her feet satisfied, and was unexpectedly dragged to the corner by Shu Neem, who was ambushed on the side.

"Eh, you kid, frizzy, can't you be as quiet as a girl? You see how polite and educated people are, I also wonder what such a good child likes about you! Fang Ling glared at Shu Neem and said dissatisfiedly.

"Ms. Fang, your elbow is a little bit outward, I can tell you, that 'Xiao Gao' is my boss, besides, I don't need him to look at me, we are ordinary friends!"

"Ordinary friends?" , Fang Ling's voice was raised, and she asked in disbelief: "Ordinary friends give your mother and me a scarf worth tens of thousands of dollars?" Look at your mother, I don't know the brand? ”

Shu Neem was helpless, so he had to make his words clear: "That's because I helped him, 'big favor'!" A rich person like him gives a gift casually like giving a cabbage, which has no special significance, in short, don't think too much, don't be too attentive, otherwise it will be more stressful, besides, his future mother-in-law is definitely not your Ms. Fang, you must not show wrong feelings, make people look at jokes! ”

Fang Ling was skeptical, "Really? ”

Shu Neem nodded, "It's more real than real gold!" ”

"I'll just say, you've been unlucky, why did you suddenly hand over the peach blossom luck!" , Fang Lingkong was overjoyed, the loss in his heart was called a mountain and a sea, sighed a few times, and said to Shu Neem with a straight face: "Since people are your ordinary friends, you don't have extra thoughts, your mother and I have suffered a loss of wishful thinking, and I have been in it for half my life, and you can't follow in my footsteps!" ”

"Ouch mom, you persuaded me, your daughter and I have a spectrum, especially on the issue of men and women, I can basically become a Buddha immediately!"

"Don't be blind and poor with me, you don't have any shape at all!"

Seeing that Ms. Fang's anger was about to escalate, Shu Yi immediately corrected her attitude, "Mom, how old am I, what else can't I understand, everything can be fought for in this world, but feelings can't, you can rest assured, I won't be confused!" ”

"You just want to understand too much - hurry up and clean up and come down to eat!" , Fang Ling has no problem with her poor and tongue-scratching daughter, what do you say, she has a set of crooked reasons to deal with, she can't help it, alas, sighed secretly, turned around and went downstairs.

Shu Neem went back to his room to change his clothes and knocked on the half-open door next door.

"Please come in", Gao Min opened the door and couldn't help but smile when he saw Shu Neem changing clothes.

Shu Neem was wearing sportswear, and the most amazing thing was that the four big characters "Shi Yàn Middle School" were embroidered on his chest. She didn't know what Gao Min was laughing at, the corners of her mouth curved, and she laughed at herself, "Don't look at the ugliness of our school uniforms at that time, but the quality is not to be said, it is very durable, and my mother is very prescient, every time she orders a school uniform, she will report the size by 10 cm more for me, and I can wear it for a lifetime!" ”

As she spoke, she looked into the room, "Does it feel okay?" If you are not satisfied, you can change rooms with me"

Gao Min had a smile in his eyes, and he was silent for a moment and said, "No need, I like it very much"

The eloquent boss Gao lacks vocabulary today, and repeats the sentence "I like it very much", but he also understands that when he is a guest at someone else's home for the first time, he naturally has to be polite. Shu Neem's eyes and bones wandered around, and the joke on his lips was swallowed back into his stomach, and he just beckoned him to go downstairs together.

Shu Neem really wronged Gao Min this time Piri Chunqiu, he didn't say kind words, this room is elegant and clean and very pleasant, he likes it at first sight, like returning to his hometown, in addition to timidity, the wandering soul has a home. He liked the bedding that exuded the bitter smell of jasmine, the bark lamp at the head of the bed, the smooth and beautiful lacquered floor, the light grid shadow cast by the sunlight through the wooden window lattice, or rather, he liked the qiē related to neem, and this joyful mood could not be expressed to her, it was too presumptuous.

Shu Neem walked down the stairs with lazy steps, squinting at Gao Min beside him, he also changed into casual clothes, a black sweatshirt with a white shirt, and smoky gray fine wool pants, at first glance, he looked as gentle and elegant as a scholar who had lived in an ivory tower for a long time, and his compelling momentum at work was completely restrained, not at all like a cold-blooded speculative businessman.

- She laughs, she's very good at pretending!

Gao Min saw that Shu Mei's gaze was rolling on him, so he raised his eyebrows and showed a puzzled expression.

Shu Neem smiled, "What, let me give you a reminder first, my mother doesn't have a sense of distance, she wants to be overly enthusiastic about you, ask questions and ask questions, don't mind, bear with me", paused for a while, frowned, "Don't talk about my mother, there is no sense of distance in this city, anyway, when you meet people who are idle and boring and inquiring, you can play Tai Chi, I usually deal with it like this"

Is this a vaccination for him, looking at the appearance of her eyebrows knotted, she probably also suffered from it, Gao Min laughed secretly, pretending not to care and said, "That's nothing"

"So" with a mind, then take it well. Shu Neem shrugged his shoulders and said no more.

Gao Min eats elegantly, as if he is not enjoying noodles, but a French meal, drinking soup in small bites, chewing slowly, without making a sound when chewing, and handling the dishes and chopsticks gently.

Everyone has preferences, Fang Ling is a countryman, she is used to seeing rough men working in the field shirtless, they drink a lot of wine and eat meat, they are not very particular, and their personalities are rough and bold, but what she likes is another, like the person in front of her, elegant and delicate, she has preferred scholars all her life, and she also hopes that her daughter will find such a man. It's not a pity in my heart, Xiao Gao's family background can't be climbed by ordinary people, and it's better to live at home.

Disappointment to disappointment, Fang Ling cleaned up her mood and treated Gao Min as a nephew, her eyes were full of love, and she persuaded her to eat and drink on the side, for fear that Gao Min would not be hungry.

Shu Neem's bowl of noodles was eaten in the morning, gnawing on the melon slowly, and glancing at Gao Min from time to time, it was strange, there was no impatient look on his face, Ms. Fang nagged endlessly, he could actually bear it, it was really self-contained.

Gao Min wiped his fingers with a tissue, Fang Ling noticed that he had a pair of beautiful hands, and the person in the depths of his memory also had a pair of good-looking hands, his nails were trimmed neatly, and the nails were also clean, it was such a pair of hands that helped her who fell to the ground, patted the dust for her, and his dark eyes were full of worry, he asked softly: "Sister, did the fall hurt?" Since then, she has engraved him in her heart and will never forget him for the rest of her life.

Fang Ling was stunned, Gao Min opened a jewelry box, and on the black velvet was a set of jade and diamond jewelry, the color was thick and bright, the water head was full and full, and the green seemed to overflow.

Gao Min lowered his eyebrows, "A little heart, not a respect"

"This ...... It's too outward", Fang Ling is not a nutritional product, she is embarrassed whether to accept it or not, I am afraid that the gift is too heavy, and it is not appropriate to accept it rashly as an elder.

"But the craftsmanship is slightly better, it's not worth anything", the implication is not expensive, so that she can dispel her worries and accept the meeting gift with peace of mind.

Fang Ling's old sisters also wear jade bracelets, with green flowers the size of fingernails floating on a white background, and go to the counter to ask for the price of eight thousand, the jade sent by Xiao Gao is green and transparent, there is no variegation at all, the more you look at it, the more fake it is, but the workmanship is exquisite, the style is not old-fashioned, it can enter her eyes, since it didn't cost much, then it doesn't hurt to accept it, in the end it is a piece of Xiao Gao's heart, and he couldn't put it down and touched the smooth and delicate beads and said diligently: "I made a set of cheongsam two days ago, with this set of jewelry, I went back to the house to change it, and you gave me a palm eye." and see if it works."

Waiting for Ms. Fang's figure to disappear, Shu Neem Fang pulled back his gaze, and glanced at Gao Min with his residual light, he was light-hearted, and his slender fingers were as slender as jade and knocked on the table idly.

Shu Neem doesn't understand jade, her eyesight is poor, and she can't distinguish the real from the fake, but she knows that the gift given by Boss Gao will not be adulterated, because he can afford it. The problem is that she can't pretend to be ignorant with a clear conscience, the value of this set of jade jewelry is immeasurable, and it is not a sky-high price, where did she come from to accept such a valuable gift.

"Mr. Gao, our friendship you send some food and drink supplements and the like, I will definitely not refute your face, and happily let my mother accept it, but-", Shu Neem raised his chin and nodded towards the exquisite jewelry box, "This can't be accepted, we understand your kindness, my mother wants jewelry or it is more appropriate to honor her as a daughter"

Gao Min was noncommittal, and smiled, "I'm so good at taking advantage of money, giving a gift is no different from giving a cabbage, and besides, you have helped me 'a lot', and I can't say anything to thank you."

took Shu Neem's jokes to block her, Gao Min damaged the soldiers without blood, Shu Neem had no choice but to follow his words without going around in circles: "I did you a 'big favor', you gave me shares, it is quite fair to me, I can't take this set of jade jewelry for nothing, you make a price, I will make up the money for you"

Gao Min frowned, and had to consider his rhetoric to rationalize his behavior, "Dark material capital has invested in two jade mines in Hpakant, Myanmar, and the jade carver uses the remaining rough stones to polish and inlay into a set of jewelry when carving thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. As you can see, it's this set of jade jewelry that I gave to my aunt, first, it wasn't used for exchange, and second, it wasn't used for sale, strictly speaking, it wasn't a commodity, so I couldn't offer it to you, you really don't have to mind too much"

In Shu Neem's cognition, no matter how close friends are, there are also Chu River and Han realms, especially friends of the opposite sex, once they cross the line, friendship is no longer pure. Before she accepted Gao Min's gift with peace of mind, because the work involved interests, Gao Min asked her, promised a lot of money, and even gave gifts to show goodwill, which is very normal, and now they have two silver goods, then this set of priceless jewelry is tantamount to a hot potato, Gao Min's reason is not tenable at all, there are so many diamond dealers, and I haven't seen one of their relatives and friends.

What does it mean when a businessman does something that is not profit-seeking?

Shu Neem stared at Gao Min's eyes, trying to search for clues, so as to confirm that her guess was not whimsical or self-inflicted, but what puzzled her was that Gao Min's eyes were very open, and there was no different color on his face, could it be that she was thinking too much?

Gao Min let her look at it, there was no flaw from head to toe, he raised his index finger and interrupted Shu Mei's contemplation, "I fell in love with my aunt, you will treat it as a piece of my admiration", he smiled, his eyes were full of banter, "Buying and selling is not benevolent and righteous, I am still very willing to maintain the human favor, we will come to the future, there will always be a time when you Shu is the editor-in-chief, usually do not burn incense, temporarily hold Buddha's feet, and disdain for it", after speaking, he looked away lightly, and the corners of his lips curled, "Auntie is out, Put away the scale in your heart quickly, the feelings between friends are not counted like this! ”

Shu Neem choked, and saw Ms. Fang, who was wearing a cheongsam and a bun, walking all the way, picking up the jewelry in the jewelry box and greeting herself, wearing earrings, not to mention, but also putting on a bracelet, looking left and right with an orchid finger, and a smile on her face.

This is too unkind, Shu Neem was amazed, but unfortunately she didn't stop Ms. Fang, who was eager to try, and when she saw her daughter making a big look, she rolled her eyes angrily, "What's the matter, do you have eye cramps?" ", turned his head and drizzled, "Xiao Gao, come, help Auntie put on the necklace"

There is a girl who is out of tune, she Fang Ling can't enjoy the blessings of her son-in-law, her heart is gloomy, and there is a click on the back of her neck, which is the sound of the necklace buckle closing. Gao Min withdrew his hand, took a step back, tilted his head slightly, and blurted out the compliments without hitting the draft, "Jade with cheongsam can best express the gentle temperament of oriental women, and Auntie undoubtedly interprets this temperament to the fullest."

The gold silk plate buttons, splashed ink plum blossoms, peacock blue cheongsam and crystal clear green jade set off Fang Ling's noble and elegant, full of classical atmosphere, Shu Neem blink an eye, I feel a little unrecognizable Ms. Fang.

Fang Ling stretched out her hand and stroked her sideburns, and her demeanor was very good, quite a bit of the old style of the Republic of China, and she walked a few steps as if she was ostentatious, thinking that she would go to the dance team to meet the old sisters later, so that they would envy her.

Suddenly, she turned her head sharply and looked at Shu Neem, "Did your phone ring?" ”

"Is there one?" , Shu Neem took out her mobile phone from her pocket, she was going to go upstairs to sleep after dinner, and turned down the volume with her hand, just like that, Ms. Fang heard the movement, and the sensitivity of her ears was not ordinarily high, no wonder she could hear the gossip that she couldn't play.

"Who called?" , Fang Ling glanced closer, had a number in her heart, pursed her lips and pretended to be disdainful, and snorted heavily, "That person—"

That person has a name and a surname, his name is Shu Yuming, he is Shu Neem's father, he doesn't see each other all the year round, he usually contacts him by phone, and over time, he has become the code name in Ms. Fang's mouth.

Gao Min played the role of a qualified background board, sitting silently on the sofa and drinking tea quietly, with interest in his eyes, listening attentively to the mother and daughter's comedy.

Shu Neem teased Ms. Fang in her heart, and turned around, "Mom, I'll go to the yard to answer the phone, otherwise you will be upset when you hear it."

"Why do you want to go out to answer the phone, is Xiao Gao an outsider, what's there to hide when you make a call, just call in the house, turn on the speakerphone, I want to see what he's grinding this time!?"

Looking at Ms. Fang's insincere appearance, Shu Yu smiled clearly, answered the phone and turned on speakerphone, Shu Yuming asked a few irrelevant words, such as when he went home, how long he planned to live at home, how to go to work after the New Year, whether to take a plane or a bullet train, and after chatting casually, Shu Yuming asked if he could go to Beijing to live with him for a few days.

Shu Melia twisted her face to look at Ms. Fang, Ms. Fang twisted her head, and said in a vicious voice: "Look at what I'm doing, will I stop you from visiting my relatives?" ”

Okay, in accordance with Yi's order, Shu Neem deliberately said loudly: "Dad, did you hear, my mother let our father and daughter reunite during the New Year."

Fang Ling rolled her eyes at the roof and shouted at the top of her voice, for fear that Xia Mengyi on the other end would not hear it? That woman's heart is smaller than the tip of a needle, in previous years, Shu Neem went to Beijing to see her father, and she didn't say that she was invited to the house for a meal, like a thief, she was really a little child!

Shu Yuming was worried that he couldn't find an excuse to comfort his ex-wife, and when his daughter handed over the words, he hurriedly answered, "Your mother, she...... How are you doing? ”

"Hmph, I don't have anything to say, I'm very good, don't bother!" , Fang Ling's face was impatient, but her ears were supported and listened to it word for word.

Shu Neem truthfully conveyed her mother's meaning, "My mother is very happy, no illness or disaster"

"That's good, that's good", Shu Yuming muttered, as if infinitely stunned.

This grudge is really unreasonable, if there is a difficult relationship, thirty years have passed, it is too late to say anything, Shu Neem sneered slightly, cleared his throat, and began to add oil and vinegar, "My mother's amateur life is not boring at all, no, I formed a dance team with her friends to dance the waltz——"

"Didn't your mom square dance before?" , Shu Yuming felt quite uncomfortable.

"Square dancing is too difficult, my mother is interested in Waltz now, her dance partner is a retired university professor, very elegant, he took my mother to get started, the two partners don't mention how tacit understanding, it's a perfect match, maybe they can win the award in the ballroom dance competition on the fifth day of the new year!"

Shu Yuming was silent, and said in a complicated mood: "Your mother and that professor ......", but how can he be qualified to ask, the past is gone, leaving only the bitter taste, no matter what, he hopes that the sister who has suffered a lot will have a good life in her old age.

It sounds a little sour, so that you have a wife, don't make the old love unforgettable. Besides, this is not the first time, when she was fifteen years old, someone introduced Ms. Fang to a partner, who looked good at work, Ms. Fang was a little moved by the matchmaker, and then answered Shu Yuming's phone call, and there was no follow-up.

Of course, Shu Neem would not think that his father was the obstruction, but his attitude was hesitant, and he kept interrupting, knowing that his ex-wife couldn't forget him, and he still cared about finding a sense of storage from time to time, just like a donkey tied to a carrot in front of her, always hooking her, can she wave goodbye to the past and start again?

Take this opportunity to hint to Dad and let him live his own life, don't worry about her and Ms. Fang, the daylily has already cooled down, so he will do useless work, so everyone can worry about it.

"The professor's surname is Gu, widowed, and his children are all abroad, so he is a good match for my mother, you know, doesn't my mother just like to be educated, you and she can't climb high, this may work!"

Since Ms. Fang joined the elderly ballroom dance troupe, the number of times she contacted her daughter has plummeted, and she occasionally calls and urges her to go on a blind date.

Shu Neem flickered Shu Yuming while thinking, maybe there was really a door for the matter of my mother and Professor Gu.

Shu Yuming listened to the taste in his heart, and muttered for a long time, and finally swallowed the words back into his stomach.

The father was silent, and Shu Nee was embarrassed, expecting to understand what she meant. Fortunately, Aunt Xia called her father to see a guest at this time, otherwise she didn't know how to end it, after all, she made up nonsense.

Shu Neem retracted the thread in a sloppy manner, and the wind in the back of his head hit, and Fang Ling slapped it over.

Covering his neck and turning back, Shu Neem glared, "Mom, why are you beating me?" ”

Fang Ling was angry, "Hey, you're still baring your teeth with me, are you arranging your mother's work like this?" ”

"Can that be called choreography, that's called heartfelt blessings, I think Professor Gu is good, how good it is for you two to be good old companions together!"

"You're big! I can't worry about myself, and I still worry about your mother!? ”

(To be continued)
