Chapter Seventy-Four
The stairs of the old-fashioned buildings are narrow and dark, and there are piles of discarded furniture, bottles, and broken cardboard boxes at every corner.
Mu Yan walked in front, turning back from time to time to remind Qin Hanyang to pay attention to his feet.
The dim staircase lamp casts everything in a halo, like a dim old photograph, showing that time is like a knife.
In order to get such a two-bedroom house, Mu Yan's mother was forced by her parents to marry Mu Yan's father against her will. This marriage doomed her to pain, and made Mu Yan's father bear a heavy responsibility, and the two lived separately for more than ten years, which made an unfortunate footnote to this marriage.
Mu Yan's father left the south because he couldn't give Mu Yan's mother a normal married life, and Mu Yan's mother lived alone, and she had some anger and hope because of Mu Yan's arrival. And the desire for love in her heart was finally fulfilled in Uncle Liu's shadow, although the two lived here, they also shared joys and sorrows.
"I'm back!"
Uncle Liu stood at the door of the fifth floor and shouted in surprise when he saw Mu Yan.
Mu Yan's mother's face quickly flashed out from behind the door, "Mu Yan, that, hurry up and enter the house." Mu Yan's mother saw Qin Hanyang and was a little stammered.
Although the staircase lights were dim, Qin Hanyang's extraordinary bearing was still amazing.
The curtains in the living room have been replaced with floor-to-ceiling ones, and the lemon yellow background is flocked with large light brown flowers, which makes people look bright when they enter the house. The cushions on the wooden sofa have been replaced with curtains, and Mu Yan remembers that there was a crack in the wooden board on the seat of the sofa, and now they are covered with sponge cushions of the same color as the curtains, which suddenly look like new.
She glanced at the long wooden table she had used to eat since she was a child, covered with a plastic white crochet tablecloth, on which was full of dishes.
Mu Yan could see that in order to welcome Qin Hanyang, her mother really put a lot of thought into it. Even when her mother and Uncle Liu got married last year, they didn't rearrange the home.
Mu Yan said that this was her boyfriend Qin Hanyang, and Qin Hanyang smiled and shouted to the two elders that uncle and aunt were good.
Mu Yan's mother invited him to sit, and he naturally walked to the sofa and sat down, looking elegant and calm.
Uncle Liu and Mu Yan's mother were a little cramped, and a bunch of questions that they had thought about were shocked by the aristocratic temperament on Qin Hanyang's body.
Mu Yan walked around the room and said, "What about the two younger brothers?" ”
"I've sent them to my aunt's house." Uncle Liu's smile was a little embarrassing.
"Let's eat, everyone, you must be hungry all the way." Mu Yan's mother walked to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks, and turned back to Mu Yan to wink.
Mu Yan knew that her mother had asked her to ask questions, so she hurriedly followed.
"Mu Yan, you honestly, what does this Qin Hanyang do? It doesn't look like an ordinary person, and your mother can see that everything he wears is good and not cheap. He's not going to be your boss, is he? ”
"Mom, look at what you said! My boss is married a long time ago. He is the management company. Mu Yan was afraid that telling Qin Hanyang's true identity would scare her mother.
"That's good, don't learn to be a junior, it won't end well. How old is he? ”
"Thirty-two."
Mu Yan's mother paused for a moment and said, "It's okay to be eleven years older, but men know that they feel distressed." You're bringing him back this time to get engaged? ”
"Mom, we're going to get married on the second day of February after the New Year."
Mu Yan's mother was so shocked that a handful of chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground, and the sound of snapping and rolling down alarmed Uncle Liu, and he walked into the kitchen and asked suspiciously if he wanted to help.
Mu Yan's mother waved his hand and asked him to go back to the living room to accompany the guests.
Mu Yan hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and scalded them with boiling water, "Mom, we don't need so many chopsticks for the four of us to eat!" ”
"Get out of here, don't make the guests wait."
"He's not a guest!"
At the dinner table, Mu Yan's mother put chopsticks on every dish, and Uncle Liu occasionally pinched the dishes in front of him without saying much.
Mu Yan's mother constantly humbled herself and couldn't cook, which made Qin Hanyang smile.
Qin Hanyang said that these dishes were delicious, he ate a lot of food, but he was a gentleman, he saw that Mu Yan did not use his chopsticks, so he naturally used his chopsticks to pick up the dishes.
Mu Yan's tense mood finally relaxed. She simply put away the chopsticks and said with a smile that they were all a family, and it was troublesome to engage in chopsticks.
Mu Yan's mother asked Qin Hanyang how many people there are in the family, how many brothers are ranked, and how are the parents in health......
Qin Hanyang always replied with a smile.
Qin Hanyang said that if the two old people have no opinion, he is ready to get married with Mu Yan as soon as possible, and his parents said that the second day of the second month of February is a good day, and they want to choose that day.
Mu Yan's mother was not very surprised because she was prepared, but Uncle Liu looked at Mu Yan's mother with wide eyes in surprise.
"My Mu Yan is a real person, and she has a good temper, and when I saw you today, I think your temper and personality are also very good. As long as you treat each other sincerely and love each other, I will be relieved. Mu Yan's mother had tears in her eyes, and she single-handedly pulled her eldest daughter to say that if she wanted to marry, she would become someone else's family, she wiped her eyes and said, "But your marriage is set in too much hurry, I'm afraid that I won't be ready well for a while." ”
Qin Hanyang said that when the time comes, he will send someone to pick up their whole family to watch the ceremony, and the rest of the dowry and the like will be prepared by his family, so that Mu Yan's mother doesn't have to worry about it.
Mu Yan also echoed, she didn't want her mother to be difficult, Uncle Liu was seriously ill and used money, and the family had been in a tight financial situation.
Uncle Liu went to the cupboard and took a bottle of wine and drank it with Qin Hanyang, Mu Yan's mother slowly became less restrained, and the more her son-in-law looked at it, the more happy she became.
After eating dinner at ten o'clock, Qin Hanyang called Driver Huang to pick him up.
Mu Yan's mother kept it again and again, and Uncle Liu also said that Mu Yan's mother came back for them, and the beds at home were all new, so he went to sleep in the living room, let Qin Hanyang live in a small room, and Mu Yan slept with her mother.
Qin Hanyang was a little drunk, he said that he brought the driver, and the hotel was also set, and it was not good to let the driver live in the hotel alone. Come back tomorrow at noon, and go back tomorrow night.
Uncle Liu patted Qin Hanyang on the shoulder and said that he would call the driver home for dinner tomorrow, and his family would not be polite. After drinking a bottle of wine, the two of them were quite angry.
Qin Hanyang said okay.
Mu Yan didn't speak, and kept looking at Qin Hanyang.
Mu Yan's mother asked her to send Qin Hanyang downstairs, and Uncle Liu accompanied him to send Qin Hanyang downstairs, watching him go upstairs to Maybach, and the two went upstairs and returned to the house.
Mu Yan was lying on the bed in the hut, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, she knew that Qin Hanyang had been approved by her mother, but she didn't know how to tell Qin Hanyang whether the marriage could be postponed.
After closing the door of the big house, Uncle Liu said to Mu Yan's mother that Mu Yan's boyfriend is not an ordinary person, and he knows when he sees the car, and he doesn't know what brand it is, but the car is dark and bright, the shape is perfect, and the front and rear lights are very special, it must be a famous car.
Mu Yan's mother sighed and said, Mu Yan didn't tell me the truth, Qin Hanyang's family has brothers and cousins, looking at the way he talked about it, it should be a big family living together, obviously the Qin family is a big family. Mu Yan said that he was managing the company, and I think he opened a company, and that kind of appearance is definitely not a small company. How can a small family like ours be worthy of others, I don't know how Mu Yan knows people, although the son of a big family looks good, it is difficult to guarantee that he is not playing with Mu Yan on impulse. Ay!
Uncle Liu comforted her a few words, saying that she was too careful, and he saw that Mu Yan and Qin Hanyang were a good match together.
Mu Yan's mother didn't make a sound, she turned over, thinking that Mu Yan's eyes were full of love when she looked at Qin Hanyang, but in Qin Hanyang's eyes, she couldn't find the same amount of love. She is a sensitive woman, and her two marriages have made her understand men, she not only wants Mu Yan to marry a good man, but also is afraid that Mu Yan will be hurt too simply.
The concept of a rich family is even more deep-rooted, she thinks, Mu Yan's life experience may be destined to be related to a wealthy family, when can she tell Mu Yan the secret in her heart......
