Chapter 70: An Appointment
Xiao Yao has one of her biggest advantages, her eyes are beautiful, and this is also her biggest disadvantage, because all her thoughts will be reflected from those eyes, and she can be easily understood.
Mrs. Wen didn't know how to answer her, so she turned her head and looked at Tong Mingyu again, as a mother-in-law, you should speak.
Tong Mingyu bowed and said: "The real reason is that this child really doesn't know, I think so, instead of letting her deliberately please the performance, it is better to let the grandmother see her true temperament and appearance, and then make a judgment." Her words and deeds today are the same as at home on weekdays, and I don't know ...... grandma. "Satisfactory.
When Tong Mingyu spoke, Mama Ruan's eyes looked at Xiao Yao for a moment, and when she saw her ignorant expression, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, it is not difficult to guess what this child thinks in the future, and you will know everything by looking at those eyes.
Mama Ruan did not answer Tong Mingyu's words, but chose to continue the conversation with Xiao Yao.
"What's your name, little girl?"
"Back to Mama, my name is Xiao Yao, and my name is Ping'an."
"Do you know why your family gave you such a name?"
"My grandfather said he wanted me to be at ease and happy and peaceful."
"Looks like your grandfather loves you a lot."
"Grandfather is the one who loves me the most." After saying this, Xiao Yao quietly glanced at her mother, what she said was indeed the truth, and she hoped that her mother would not be angry.
"Then isn't your father the one who loves you the most?" Mama Ruan deliberately embarrassed her.
"My dad also loves me the most, my mother...... If it weren't for the general punishment for copying the "Female Commandment", he would be the one who loves me the most. As a mother-in-law, she ranked behind several people, which made Tong Mingyu very upset, this child actually dared to say in public that she was punished for copying the "Female Commandment", and she was not afraid of being laughed at by others.
"Why did your mother punish you for copying the "Female Commandment"?"
"If you say the wrong thing, you will be punished for doing the wrong thing!" I'm used to it.
"Do you blame your mother for doing this?"
"It's not to blame, because every time I get punished, my grandfather and dad will send gifts to comfort me." A few "Female Commandments" can be exchanged for a lot of good things, and sometimes Xiao Yao feels that she should make mistakes from time to time, so that good things will come in a steady stream.
Tong Mingyu hated to cover his face, this kid is too embarrassing, it's right to let you behave naturally and truthfully, but it didn't let you say all your thoughts.
Mama Ruan showed her first smile today, judging from her countless experiences, the little girl in front of her must be a clever and cute child, and she had some expectations in her heart.
Mrs. Wen also laughed out loud, this kid is so funny. It's a pity that the grandchildren are not the same age as her, otherwise they would have to set her up and marry her back, do you still have to worry about being lonely in the future?
"Let's go down and play." Mama Ruan nodded slightly.
The adults did not continue to discuss this topic, whether this matter is successful or not, I am afraid that Mama Ruan has already reached a conclusion in her heart, and she will definitely give an answer, and the eager inquiry will make everyone feel embarrassed.
Xiao Yao did not return to Tong Mingyu's side, but approached Zhou's youngest son, Brother Run, who was two years younger than herself, and took out a calf-shaped wood carving from her purse, shook it in front of Brother Run's eyes, and said temptingly: "Call Auntie, call Auntie, this is yours." ”
The child who couldn't withstand the temptation happily abandoned his mother, stood in front of Xiao Yao, who was not much taller than himself, and called out in a milky voice, "Auntie." ”
"Good", Xiao Yao looked happy to have picked up a big bargain, upgraded to an aunt, and in an instant, the feeling of being tall overflowed all over her body.
"Ping'an, someone calls you aunt, do you feel like your heart is in full bloom." Zhou saw that if her sister-in-law had a tail, she would go to the sky, and teased her.
"It's also my first time as an elder, so if there's anything you don't do well, please bear with me.
"It's already good, just keep it up." Tong Minglan felt that she was very happy as long as she saw her niece, so she just kept it up.
Xiao Yao, who was recognized, took Brother Run to play happily on the side, and the adults sat around and chatted about some trivial matters of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Mama Ruan only glanced at Xiao Yao inadvertently, and saw that she was all devoted to playing with her little nephew, and didn't care about what others said or did at all.
The little girl in front of her looked like a flower that had just budded, and Mama Ruan believed that under her careful care and cultivation, this flower would definitely bloom proudly and scorch.
Tong Mingyu is also polite and moderate, and Fengyuan seems to really regard this meeting as an ordinary visit.
For the performance of the mother and daughter, Mama Ruan was a little more satisfied.
About an hour later, Tong Mingyu got up to say goodbye, and with her understanding that today's matter had failed.
If Mama Ruan chooses her daughter, she has many opportunities to say the answer, and she didn't open her mouth, perhaps because she was embarrassed to say no on the spot for the sake of Mrs. Wen's face, so as to avoid her embarrassment.
"Auntie, don't go." Brother Run grabbed Xiao Yao's sleeve and refused to let go, finally came a person who could play with him, how could he let go easily!
"Would it be okay for your mother to take you to your aunt another day?" Tong Mingyu lovingly hugged Brother Run and comforted.
Xiao Yao tidied up the clothes that were crumpled because of the play, and the elder patted the little nephew's head with great momentum, and then said, "Listen to your mother obediently, otherwise your aunt will never come to play with you again, do you hear?" ”
Brother Run, who was originally thinking of crying and making trouble, immediately became honest, with tears in his eyes, and nodded obediently.
If this is in her own home, Xiao Yao will definitely tell her family very proudly: "Look, people from eighty to three years old have all been conquered by me, this is the truest portrayal of people who love and flowers bloom." Given that this is someone else's home, she has to keep a low profile.
"I don't know if Miss Xiao is welcome to come to your house as a guest!" Just as Tong Mingyu was holding Xiao Yao and turning around, Mama Ruan got up and said.
Everyone was slightly stunned, but they understood that Mama Ruan had chosen Xiao Yao.
"Yes, you're very welcome." Xiao Yao, who didn't know what was going on, replied politely, this is the guest of the Wen family, if you are a guest at Xiao's house, you should be well entertained.
"Then it's set for two days later, how about I visit the Xiao Mansion?" Mama Ruan's attitude has changed a lot compared to before, and her gaze on Xiao Yao has a little more warmth and love, if nothing else, the little girl in front of her will be her reliance for the rest of her life, I believe that I will not choose the wrong person, and I also believe that the two of them can get along very well.
"I'll go with you." Mrs. Wen is also very happy, and she must witness the good things that are done by herself.
"The two of you are very welcome to Xiao's house as guests, and my little girl and I will definitely wait for the two of you to come." Tong Mingyu was pushed by her sister to wake up from disbelief, which was an unexpected joy for her!
"When the time comes, don't forget to steal the pear blossom white from your father-in-law's private collection from the two jars, let's taste it too." Mrs. Wen teased.
"You won't be disappointed." Now Tong Mingyu, not to mention that someone just asks her for two jars of wine, just wants something rarer, as long as she has it, she will serve it with her hands without hesitation.
Tong Minglan personally sent the mother and daughter out of the door, and did not forget to make fun of her sister when she parted, "Look at your nervous appearance, you are not as calm as my niece!" Now I can finally rest assured. ”
"Sister, don't laugh at me, you know how much I want to invite Mama Ruan."
Listening to the conversation between her mother and aunt, a not-so-wonderful feeling flooded Xiao Yao's heart, probably ...... It seems like...... Something has to happen.
