Chapter Eighty-Five: The Tranquility of Parting
"Everything, corn ribs, omelette, and the pig's trotters you had leftover from yesterday." Mu Niannian's mother waited for her with a bowl and chopsticks, counted the food on the table and told her.
"It's early in the morning, it's too rich." Mu Niannian washed her face casually, brushed her teeth simply and ran over for breakfast.
"Did you brush your teeth seriously? So fast, your teeth didn't get wet, right? Mu Niannian's mother said with disgust.
"Swiped. The brush was clean. Just like that, there are more than 20 teeth, what is good to brush every day, and a simple brush can be brushed. Mu Niannian ignored her, this is a woman's breakfast gift nagging every morning, she is used to it.
"Teeth still have to be protected, and they have to be used for a lifetime. And you eat slowly. There are a lot of them. Enough for you to eat. The woman couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Mu Niannian's reckless appearance as before.
"You eat too. This corn rib soup is delicious, you drink more. Mu Niannian took a bowl and helped her mother fill a bowl as well.
After eating for about twenty minutes, Mu Niannian put down the bowl, and in the past two days, he didn't think about those unhappy things, and his appetite improved. Many times she thinks she can eat a cow. It may be true that she can eat half a cow.
Mu Niannian helped her mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks together, and then walked to the door and pulled up the box.
"Then I'll go." Mu Niannian said. I don't know when I'll be able to come back.
"Good. When you arrive in the U.S., remember to call me and notify me if you have any difficulties. Mu Niannian's mother helped her straighten her clothes, and her eyes were slightly red.
"Good. I know. I'll remember to call you. Not only to call, but also to pick you up and stay. Don't come with me. Mu Niannian's eyes were also a little wet, she really didn't like this kind of parting occasion.
"Don't be too tired, don't be too bitter." Mu Niannian's mother spoke in a very small voice, a little hoarse, and said, "If you want to come back, you can come back at any time." ”
"Hmm." Mu Niannian hugged the woman and told her to rest assured.
Mu Niannian turned around and opened the door and walked out, and the woman stood at the door looking at her. Mu Niannian told her not to come to deliver it, told her to pay attention to her body, and then left with the box without looking back. She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears, after so many years, she still had feelings for this place. She can't take a lot of things with her, and seeing them will only make her sad. Of course, there was one more thing that she could take away but didn't take, and that was the bank card she had placed on the table in her room.
Back at Lin Lin's residence, Lin Lin had already gone to work. Although I went to work, there were a lot of things in the refrigerator and a lot of snacks on the table, all of which were very expensive and nutritious for pregnant women.
"Make whatever you want to eat, and buy the ingredients for you. Send me a message if there's anything else you want to eat, I'll bring it back for you after work. Lin Lin also put a note on the table, Mu Niannian picked it up and looked at it, and smiled a little happily.
Mu Niannian was not hungry just after eating, she still had a lot of things, so she had to do it quickly while she was free.
In the afternoon, a number called, and it didn't look like the number was domestic. The area code is 212. Mu Niannian answered with some doubts, and vaguely guessed the answer in his heart, but felt that it was still a little impossible.
"Hello?" Mu Niannian asked in a low voice.
"Mu Niannian? I'm Cheng Xiwen. A low, slightly hoarse, magnetic male voice came over.
"Cheng Xiwen? Yes! I know. I know. I just didn't expect you to call so soon. Are you calling from the United States? Over there...... Is the phone bill expensive over there? Mu Niannian calmed herself down from the shock, it was only two days, and she was just talking at that time, and she didn't think that she would get help. I didn't expect others to take it to heart, and they called so quickly.
"Haha......" The other end of the phone laughed, and after laughing enough, he said in that low voice: "I didn't expect you to be so cute after so many years." ”
"What? Do you mean to call me stupid? Or do you think I'm stupid? Mu Niannian asked him a little unhappily. A long time ago, Cheng Xiwen always said that she was stupid, and when she saw her, she always ran over and laughed, touched her head and said, "How can there be such a stupid girl?" ”
"Haha...... No no. I didn't think you're stupid. The man on the other end of the phone was happy for a long time before he stopped, and then said slowly: "It seems that you still haven't changed, it's the same as before." The call from New York to China is very expensive, but you can rest assured, I still pay for the international call. ”
"......" Mu Niannian listened to the people on the phone laugh enough, and then said disdainfully: "Okay, good." You've got the money, okay! Big boss, okay! ”
"There is really no RMB, but there are more US dollars." After the other end of the phone finished speaking, he laughed again, and he still laughed at himself by telling cold jokes?
"......" Mu Niannian was speechless, quietly listening to his nerves on the phone. After so many years, she still doesn't want to take Cheng Xiwen's words, and she can't take them.
"It's been a long time. How are you doing? Cheng Xiwen finally returned to normal and began to chat in a normal voice.
"It's okay. How are you? Mu Niannian asked.
"I'm okay. After so many years in New York, it's still okay to take you around. Cheng Xiwen said with a smile and said, "You're here, I'll take you wherever you want." Got somewhere you want to go? ”
"I don't care. Anyway, I haven't been there, and it's fresh everywhere. Mu Niannian really doesn't care, besides, she is not in the mood to walk around now, she just wants to find a place to give birth to the baby safely, and then find a good job to earn money to support her family.
"Hmm. Waiting for you to come over, I will take you to walk around slowly. I would like to share the view with you. The other end of the phone paused for a moment, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Hey...... I forgot to tell you the truth. I inquired about the house for you, there are two places that are not bad, and when you come over and you see which place you like, you will rent which place. ”
"Okay. Thank you then. Do me a great favor. "Mu Niannian is from the heart, which can solve a big problem for her.
"It's fine. What's polite to me, it's strange that I'm not used to it. Cheng Xiwen also got serious, stopped a little unnaturally, opened the topic, and asked, "How did the visa go?" ”
"The visa hasn't come down yet. We'll have to wait. Mu Niannian said.
"If you need anything at that time, just let me know." Cheng Xiwen said.
"Okay." Mu Niannian thought for a while and then continued: "I don't think the problem should be big, I'll tell you when the visa comes down." ”
"Okay. I wait for your good news. Cheng Xiwen laughed at the other end, and said softly in his deep voice, "I'm looking forward to your arrival." ”
Mu Niannian hung up the phone. There was an indescribable joy, she didn't expect things to go so smoothly, she thought that she was the only one left in the world to struggle alone, but she didn't expect that there were still people willing to help her, and she was still an old classmate who hadn't been in touch for a long time. What makes Mu Niannian even happier is to have Cheng Xiwen's friend, this rare friend. This is what the ancients said about the friendship in the snow, and this precious adversity sees the truth.
It is more gratifying to have a sincere friend in this time of suffering than to help her. Mu Niannian didn't say that it was impossible to be moved, if it was possible, she would keep it in mind, and there would be a place where she could help him in the future, she couldn't say anything.
Mu Niannian is more confident in his future life. Her mother, her friends, stood behind her as always, even though some of them weren't with her.
Mu Niannian was in a good mood and made herself a delicious meal in the afternoon.
In the evening, Lin Lin came back and carried a lot of things.
"What did you buy? Mention out of breath. Mu Niannian came over and wanted to help her carry it, but was pushed away by Lin Lin.
"These are bought for you, they are very heavy, let me mention them, you are a pregnant woman to sit." After putting the things on the table, Lin Lin sat on the sofa to rest.
"What's that?" Mu Niannian walked over and opened the bag curiously. There was a lot of food in it, a lot of souvenirs, and the rest was some clothes.
"Why do you buy so much?" Mu Niannian flipped through it, and it was a big bag.
"I've pretty much run the whole city to buy you these foods. Your favorite snacks are given to you to eat on the plane, and there are some specialties that you definitely don't buy in the United States, and you will definitely miss the food of your hometown when you are breaded and fried chicken every day. Lin Lin poured herself a glass of water and drank it in one go.
"Thank you. So good to me. Mu Niannian felt a little embarrassed, and he bothered others to buy things for himself while eating and drinking at other people's houses. She didn't do anything to Lin Lin, and she was so good to her that she couldn't get upset.
"Oops! Be polite to me! These are all things I am willing to do for you, and besides, I can only do these things for you now, and when I go to the United States, I can't help you if I want to. Lin Lin said with some worry, she still wanted to persuade Mu Niannian to think about it again, there was no need to do this, it was completely unnecessary to suffer herself for a scumbag. Today, Lin Lin saw the news of Gucci and Li Qingqing, which really stunned her, her wife was still pregnant, and she hooked up with Bai Fumei when she turned around. Forcing a woman to this point, she has lived for more than twenty years and is still seeing for the first time. What a scumbag, even she was angry, if Gucci was in front of her, she would never say a word and walk over and slap him twice. She couldn't be angry, let alone Mu Niannian. Angry and distressed, she couldn't do anything but buy what she needed.
"It's all you buy, why do you buy these clothes? Is this a maternity dress? Mu Niannian picked up a wide white dress and asked.
"Yes. Isn't it good-looking? Lin Lin asked her, and pointed to another blue dress in the bag and said, "This dress was also bought for you, is this one good-looking?" ”
"It's all good-looking! Thank you! Mu Niannian laughed happily, Lin Lin's appreciation level is really good, she likes both of them.
"So what is this?" Mu Niannian picked up a small apron-like strip of cloth and asked.
