On the afternoon of the day after the Milan derby, on March 12, Tang Jue returned to Lyon. This time I returned to Lyon not to visit relatives, but to participate in the European Championship qualifiers. France will play Lithuania away on the 15th.

That night, Don asked Domenech for leave and returned home. At nine o'clock in the evening, a taxi stopped outside the hotel. Wen Ting and her mother stepped out of the car.

Wen Ting's mother Zhang Lan dragged her luggage, looked at the signboard of "Sichuan Hotel", and said, "I didn't expect to be able to eat Sichuan food here." I thought I was going to eat those unpalatable Western foods. ”

"It tastes good here, and I come here often." While Wen Ting was talking, she led her mother into the hotel. In the hotel, Tang Jue was chatting with his parents.

Chen Xiu'e stood up and said with a warm smile: "This is Wen Ting's mother." I've heard Wen Ting say it a long time ago. ”

Wen Ting said to Zhang Lan: "This is Aunt Chen, this is Uncle Tang, and this is their son." ”

"This is my mother, surnamed Zhang."

Zhang Lan nodded politely at the three of them, and when she saw Tang Jue, she felt a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. Chen Xiu'e hurriedly beckoned the two to sit down, and Tang Yuantian went to the kitchen to cook.

What made Zhang Lan strange was that her daughter didn't talk to her, but went to the kitchen to help, and Tang Jue also walked into the kitchen.

Tang Yuantian was cutting meat on the board, and Tang Jue and Wen Ting were sitting at the door picking vegetables.

"Your mother is very young and has just arrived?"

"Hmm!"

"The foundation of the lab has been laid."

"Hmm!"

Tang Jue picked up the lettuce and began to peel it with a knife. Wen Ting glanced at it and said coldly: "Leave it to me, you won't do these things." ”

Tang Jue pouted and handed the lettuce in his hand to Wen Ting, and his hand inadvertently touched Wen Ting's hand. Wen Ting's shoulders suddenly trembled, and her face began to turn red.

The lettuce fell to the ground, and the two hurriedly picked it up, and their hands touched again. Wen Ting exhaled a long breath and said, "Okay, if you insist, you will peel it." ”

Tang Jue looked at Wen Ting and hurriedly said, "I'm not good at this, it's better for you to come." ”

Tang Jue suddenly said again: "Actually, you don't have a straight face. It's beautiful. "At this point. Where is the ice on Wen Ting's face. When the hands of the two touched together, she remembered last night's spring dream, remembered her first kiss last year, and remembered more than twenty days ago. The high-pitched moans and gasps.

So her heart was in turmoil. The heart is in turmoil, and the hands are in turmoil. The lettuce fell pitifully to the ground.

Wen Ting didn't speak, she was afraid that her voice would tremble as soon as she spoke. will expose that throbbing in the heart.

Tang Jue looked at Wen Ting strangely and continued, "Why don't you speak? ”

Wen Ting ignored Tang Jue, tried her best to calm her breath, picked up the lettuce from the ground, and began to peel it. Tang Jue had long been accustomed to Wen Ting's coldness, and said, "By the way, where does Auntie live tonight?" Is the hotel booked? ”

"It's booked, in the school hotel."

……

In the dining room, Zhang Lan sighed: "She has never been in the kitchen at home, and she didn't expect to be in the kitchen here." She could see from Wen Ting's behavior that her daughter had a good relationship with this family.

"That's what you can't do." Chen Xiu'e said: "Our family has never been in the kitchen. ”

There was a question in Zhang Lan's eyes, and he obviously went to the kitchen......

"He's coming out soon."

As soon as these words fell, Tang Jue was driven out by Wen Ting. Tang Jue glanced at the kitchen stupidly, came to the two mothers, saw that there was no tea on the table, and went to make tea.

"He's probably in college." Zhang Lan asked. Chen Xiu'e shook her head and said, "Hey...... No, I didn't even finish high school. ”

Tang Jue, who was pouring tea, shook his head when he heard this, Wen Ting's mother should not be a fan, so she didn't know herself.

Zhang Lan thought for a while and said: "Reading is a matter that completely depends on the children themselves, you see our family's Wen Ting, who has been studying by herself since she was a child, didn't let us worry about it at all." Result first reading. Read until now. Postdoc, why do you read so much? ”

There was no pride in Wen Ting's mother's voice, but pride was everywhere.

Chen Xiu'e nodded and said, "Yes, I like children like this, don't let adults worry about it." ”

Tang Jue placed two cups of tea on the table of the two mothers. Zhang Lan glanced at Tang Jue and found that he was wearing Adidas all over his body. She didn't finish high school and was wearing a famous brand, so she was more sure of the guess in her heart, and she said: "The children's affairs are their own." The future depends on oneself. ”

Tang Jue sat beside his mother with a cup of tea, Chen Xiu'e glanced at her son with some doting, then turned her head to look at Zhang Lan and said, "Yes, the future depends on yourself." My son is so tired and busy all day. ”

Zhang Lan thought to herself: Of course, I didn't graduate from high school, of course, I can only do some manual work.

"You're doing hard work, aren't you?" Zhang Lan looked at Tang Jue and asked.

Tang Jue thought for a while and nodded, "It's almost, but after a day, there is still time to rest." ”

"Hey......" Zhang Lan said: "Our family Wenting is also hard, and she is either doing experiments or analyzing data all day long. Brainstorming, I'll bring some walnuts for her this time. ”

……

After dinner, Tang Jue offered to send them, but Wen Ting did not object. Wen Ting didn't speak along the way, as if she had something on her mind. Tang Jue didn't take the initiative to speak, because he was not familiar with Wen Ting's mother. Of course, it was Zhang Lan who spoke, and she introduced to Tang Jue how her daughter used to study.

After that, she asked, "How old are you, young man?" ”

Tang Jue said: "Nineteen! ”

"Nineteen, well, it's still young, you can pick up your textbooks again and get ready to go to a university. You can't do physical work for a lifetime! ”

"By the way, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask our family's Wen Ting."

"Mom! ......" Wen Ting shouted. Zhang Lan looked at Tang Jue and said with a smile: "Look, she is unhappy. ”

Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "When I was in junior high school, I went to Sister Ting's house almost every night. She tutored me in my studies. ”

"That's right! Although our family Wenting is very cold on the surface, she is actually very willing to help people. She's the kind of person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. ”

"Mom!"

Zhang Lan waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about you." ”

"By the way, are there Chinese in the unit you work for?" If there is, introduce to our family Wenting, she is also not small. ”

Wen Tingqi stomped her feet angrily. Tang Jue felt inexplicably as if his heart had been suddenly stabbed, he thought for a while and said: "Auntie, this is no, except for me, it is a European and an American." ”

"It's a pity. However, foreigners can also consider it. Zhang Lan thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that the unit you work for is a multinational company?" ”

Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "Not really. It's an Italian company, oh no, it's an Italian ......"

"Mom. You ask these questions again. Just go to the hotel alone! Wen Ting interrupted Tang Jue's words. Said angrily to his mother. What Zhang Lan said really made her angry, as if she couldn't get married.

……

Tang Jue sent Wen Ting's mother and daughter to the hotel and left. For Wen Ting's mother and daughter, he is an outsider.

"This young man is quite handsome, but it's a pity, it would be nice if he was studying." Zhang Lan looked at the door and said.

"Mom!" Wen Ting's face turned red all of a sudden.

The mother looked at her daughter's face and suddenly had a trace of suspicion: Does her daughter like him?

She remembered everything that had happened since she entered the Sichuan Hotel, and after a long time, she felt that the situation was serious.

"I'm anxious about you finding a boyfriend, but not everyone can be your boyfriend. This, I don't agree with, I didn't read it in college. ”

Mother said firmly. If you say this, you will be laughed to death, her daughter is a postdoctoral fellow, and her boyfriend has not graduated from high school. How does this work? And the gap between the cultural literacy of the two is too big, and there will be no results. Even if there is a result, it will not be happy.

Wen Ting made her mother a cup of coffee, shook her head and said, "Mom, someone else already has a girlfriend, and she is a very beautiful Serbian girl." ”

Zhang Lan didn't believe her daughter's words at all, shook her head and said, "It's impossible. Unless it's that foreign girl who is fresh and plays with him. ”

Wen Ting said: "Other people's feelings are very good, and they have been together for many years. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Lan pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that Chinese boys are popular in foreign countries?" ”

Wen Ting shook her head and said, "I don't know about this, I rarely come into contact with other Chinese boys. ”

Zhang Lan sighed: "This is what I am most worried about you, and this is also the main purpose of my coming this time." Do you have a boyfriend now? ”

Wen Ting shook her head.

"Okay, then come back with me, let's go home. In a few years, she will become a leftover woman. Do you want us to support you for the rest of your life? ”

The mother was clearly angry.

Wen Ting said stubbornly: "Mom, I'm not going back, I work here." ”

"Is work, work, work important, or is it a life event that matters? A returnee postdoc will have a good job when he goes back. By the way, isn't your alma mater always going to invite you, we're going to quit our jobs here tomorrow and go home! ”

Zhang Lan said angrily.

Wen Ting continued to stubbornly say: "No! ”

"Then find me a boyfriend right away!"

"No!"

"Then go home, you have to choose one!"

"Don't choose!"

That night, the mother and daughter parted unhappily.

……

When Tang Jue returned home, Chen Xiu'e was chatting with Tang Yuantian.

"Seeing Wen Ting's mother dressed, I knew that their family conditions were good."

"Hmm."

"If Jue Wazi hadn't fallen in love with Alice, Wen Ting's mother wouldn't have agreed to the two of them playing friends."

"Hmm."

As soon as Tang Jue stepped into the door, he heard these words, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Tang Jue was a little annoyed. Success can't be seen from academic qualifications, although I don't study much, but no matter how I say it, I am also a successful person. Thinking about how dominant I was on the court, now in the mouths of my parents, it has become as if I don't want it.

Chen Xiu'e beckoned her son to sit over and said, "I'm telling the truth, didn't you notice her expression when I said that you didn't graduate from high school?" ”

"Also, she asked you if you were doing manual work, and you said 'yes'. She ......"

"Mom? It's not good to talk about others behind your back. Tang Jue interrupted his mother's words. (To be continued......)
