Shao Lanyin paused as she spoke, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Chen Xiaoyu sat close to her mother's side, was silent for a while, took Shao Lanyin's shoulder, and said softly: "Mom, where is this, how can I not listen to you, no matter what, marriage matters are to seek your opinions, but now there is nothing to tell you, if there is a decision, I will definitely say it." ”

Shao Lanyin stood up sensitively and asked, "Then you are a little eyebrow-raising?" Is there someone you want to talk to? Tell me, who is it? ”

Chen Xiaoyu smiled, and said coquettishly in a long voice: "Mom, I said it, it's not time to tell you, when the time comes, I will definitely say it." ”

Shao Lanyin poked her head, "You, if you don't want to say it, forget it, but you have to keep your eyes open, you have to find someone who is good for you, and you have to live a lifetime in the future, marriage is a woman's reincarnation, but you have to look at it clearly, don't be a rice basket jumping into the chaff basket, it's too late to cry when the time comes." Heard it? ”

Chen Xiaoyu nodded obediently: "Well, I heard it." ”

Shao Lanyin said and got up and went to the kitchen, "I have to cook, you can eat at home today, don't go back when it's late." ”

Chen Xiaoyu agreed, she hadn't lived at home for a long time, Lu Chongqing often came over, she was inconvenient to go home, and now that she is back, she wants to have a good rest at home.

It was getting dark, and the setting sun shone into the old buildings, imprinted on the mottled white walls.

The Chen family's house was built in the early 80s, which was the house allocated by Chen Wenbin's unit.

But now it seems that the house has shown a dilapidated appearance, there is a dining table in the narrow road, plus four chairs is the living room, the small room where Xiaoyu used to live was replaced with a folding sofa, which is the living room, and the guests usually come there to entertain, Xiaoyu came back, and the sofa was pulled out at night and the sheets were spread, and it became a small bed.

Chen Xiaoyu sat on this sofa and looked around, there was an old biscuit box on the small coffee table opposite the sofa, the box contained eye drops, corn ointment, band-aids, and a few boxes of worn-out cold medicine, Shao Lanyin's reading glasses, a few pages of old newspapers, the remote control of the TV, and there were half-knitted woolen pants in the corner of the sofa.

She leaned against the kitchen door with the sweater and asked, "Mom, whose pants are these kids?" ”

Shao Lanyin was washing rice, and said without raising her head: "Oh, this, it's the grandson of Aunt Zhang, the neighbor opposite, she doesn't know how to knit wool, let me help her grandson knit a pair of woolen pants......" "She pressed the switch of the rice cooker, looked at Chen Xiaoyu, and said: "Hey, that kid is so fun, every time he sees me, he laughs, it's pleasing......"

Chen Xiaoyu smiled, no wonder, the old lady has been surrounded by children recently, no wonder she thinks about it.

Shao Lanyin was chattering in the kitchen about the trivial things of life in the neighbor's house, Chen Xiaoyu listened while choosing vegetables, and echoed two sentences from time to time, the pork rib soup stewed on the gas stove was bubbling, gradually exuding a fragrance.

……

It's almost the New Year, Chen Xiaoyu is idle at home, and finds time to accompany her parents, go to supermarkets, shopping malls, purchase New Year's goods, and feel the lively atmosphere of the year.

Since the death of the old man of the Chen family, Chen Wenhui got married, and the New Year has become a family with each family, Chen Wenbin once invited Chen Wenguang to celebrate the New Year together, but he always refused on the pretext that the restaurant wanted to hold a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Chatting at home that day, Chen Wenbin talked about it again and sighed that the second brother was living a lonely life. "What's the use of having money, no one is around, there is no one with a son and a half daughter, the New Year's holiday, lonely, I feel sorry for my father and mother when I think about it."

Shao Lanyin said: "This can't be blamed on us, which year didn't invite him over, people didn't come, we were all in vain, he is also such an old person, he can always take care of himself, you really have to feel guilty, hurry up and introduce him to a partner, let him get married and have children is serious." ”

Chen Wenbin said: "Do you think I haven't introduced it? A female teacher in our original school, whose family is an intellectual family, is very honest and responsible, but when he met him, he disliked that they were not beautiful, and said that they were old, and they were two years younger than him...... I don't really know what he's looking for. I'm that old......" Chen Wenbin shook his head and sighed.

Shao Lanyin said: "The one you introduced last time, I don't think it will be successful, you still don't believe it, although the woman is two years older than him, she looks like Chen Wenguang's sister, how can Wenguang fall in love with her, don't introduce her if you don't understand." ”

Chen Wenbin's eyes widened and said, "Why don't I understand, does he still have to find a little girl at this age?" ”

Shao Lanyin snorted, "Don't you just want to find a little girl, you men's minds, who doesn't know like small ones...... You're not the same yet. ”

Chen Wenbin frowned: "You are really unreasonable, you have to talk nonsense about everything, I won't tell you this in the future......"

Shao Lanyin glanced at him disdainfully and said, "I'm, if you don't believe Xiaoyu or not, she understands much better than you." ”

Chen Wenbin seemed to have long been accustomed to her language pattern, and he didn't get angry anymore, so he turned his face and asked Xiaoyu, "What kind of truth do you say this is?" ”

Chen Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I think what my mother said is right, the second uncle is now a successful man, and he is going to be high on people, and the general conditions must be unacceptable, but if he meets someone who can match his eyes, he can't say for sure, it depends on fate." ”

Chen Wenbin sighed, "At this age, where can I go to see fate, your second uncle is now vigilant, and said, looking for a young person, I am afraid that people will take a fancy to his money, and if I look for an older person, he will not like others, and the rich person will have a lot of troubles." ”

Shao Lanyin glanced at Chen Xiaoyu and said, "So, you have to fall in love and get married as soon as possible, when you get older, you will have more ideas, and if you think about it left and right, time will be delayed." ”

Chen Xiaoyu knew that her mother meant something, so she smiled silently.

Chen Wenbin disagreed, and said to Shao Lanyin: "What are you talking about, don't think about this marriage matter, think about it more clearly?" Can it be like child's play, if you pick it up today and leave it tomorrow? He looked at Xiaoyu again, and said: "Now it's Wenguang, he's an adult, we can't control it, if it's our family Xiaoyu, I have to pick and choose, it's not easy for ordinary boys to pass my level, the pearl of our family, can't be sent to someone else's house to be wronged, if people don't want to see us, we don't marry, I don't believe that the girl in our family can still be unwanted."
