Half a month later, the sunshine in the capital could not withstand the cold snap, and the temperature dropped very low at night.

When Ning Ye returned home after saying goodbye to his colleagues, it was already the beginning of the day.

My father hadn't come home yet, and my mother was in the bedroom suite, holding a book and reading it with relish.

Ning Ye's business trips have long been the norm, but her mother Hu Xinlan is very strange this time: "Aren't you about to be transferred?" Why did you suddenly order your visit? Is something wrong? ”

Ning Ye took off his windbreaker and replied with a smile: "No, this is a project that I have been responsible for following up before, and the original negotiation time was originally scheduled to be at the beginning of next year, but suddenly the external environment has undergone some changes, and the other party asked to enter the negotiation stage in advance." ”

Hu Xinlan took off the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said, "This negotiation is not a matter of one or two days, so are you not moving from this work?" ”

"No, this time I just assisted from the side, and took this opportunity to carry out the handover, everything else is as usual, I heard that the ministry has been transferred." Ning Ye took off his tie and felt much more comfortable.

"Have you had dinner?" Hu Xinlan knew that at this point, her son should still be hungry.

"Not yet, Mom, you keep reading, I'll just cook a bowl of noodles." Ning Ye said with a smile.

Hu Xinlan glanced at her son slightly and said, "Don't you just want to have a hot meal when you go home, you go wash and tidy up, and Mom will make some for you." ”

"Okay, thank you Mom!" Ning Ye maintained his usual politeness, but it made Hu Xinlan feel very uncomfortable, this son was taken by their husband and wife since he was a child, that is, in the years of high school.

When he was young, she and her husband worked outside, he grew up with his grandparents, and when he came to Jiangcheng, she felt that the conditions there were suitable in all aspects, so she took him to his side. Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and it really didn't bother her to say anything.

Later, he grew up, went to college, studied abroad, and had a smooth journey. Although the family is reunited after work, he is also busy, and it is rare to have a day at home all year round.

Hu Xinlan was busy in the kitchen, looking at the suddenly steaming soup pot. Although the son has always been respectful to their husband and wife, because he has not been with him since he was a child, he is not intimate enough. When he returned home, he didn't call his mother even when he was hungry, he only thought about solving the problem by himself.

Hu Xinlan felt a little sour and distressed in her heart. I can't help but feel that it is probably the reason why he gets together less with his parents and leaves more that he is not enthusiastic about starting a family......

When Hu Xinlan brought two dishes and one soup to the table, Ning Ye happened to enter the kitchen. Looking at the tall and handsome son, who was still watery after just bathing, his wet hair was a little messy under the light, and he was wearing a homely gray sweatshirt, but he looked comfortable and casual.

When Hu Xinlan saw such a son, she suddenly felt as if she was old.

Ning Ye seemed to be aware of his mother's emotions, the crystal lamp illuminated a few gray hairs on his mother's sideburns, he concealed a deep sniff, and said as if intoxicated: "It's so fragrant, it's still comfortable to eat at home, Mom, I'm hungry, I'll eat first." ”

Hu Xinlan served her son a bowl of soup, watching him hula and drinking while blowing, the corners of her lips couldn't help but smile: "You eat slowly, you're so old, and you're still like a child." ”

"Mom, why do I feel that your cooking skills are different from before?" Ning Ye put down the soup bowl and asked.

Hu Xinlan took the empty soup bowl and said with a smile: "It's not a retirement, and it's nothing, just study this, it's also quite interesting." ”

"Do you still have the leisure to do so? Aren't you a lady of diplomacy very busy? Ning Ye teased.

"I don't want to keep getting into the fun, sometimes I can't help it. The house is really deserted, Ah Ye, why don't you go on a blind date? Hu Xinlan still couldn't help but think about it, and hesitated to say it.

"Mom, haven't we already discussed this matter? I went on a blind date, it wasn't suitable, didn't my father think it was bad too? Ning Ye suddenly remembered Zhang Shuqiu's dark eyes, looked at him with a smile, and couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Then you can't be single like this all the time. Besides, you're going to leave the house soon, and you'll be gone for at least three or five years. I've heard your dad say that you still have to go to such a place, isn't your marriage even more unsettled......" Hu Xinlan continued to express her worries.

"Mom, let's not all talk about it, you don't have to urge, I know for myself, my boss is not small, it's time to start a family, and I will naturally bring it back to you when the time comes." Ning Ye comforted his mother casually, but he also deliberately revealed some meaning from the words.

As soon as Hu Xinlan heard it, she felt that her son had something to say, and the last time he talked about this topic, he still resisted. But it's only a matter of a month, that is, I went to Jiangcheng and went out of the country, why did I suddenly have a new situation? It was just a short stunned, Hu Xinlan's heart had already turned one hundred and eighty turns, and she also asked casually: "Then when, is it the time you said?" ”

"Mom, I'm going to eat here, let me eat first." Ning Ye said with a haha, the key is that he has no bottom in his heart. He wished he had brought the man in front of him, but he didn't even know where she was.

On the day Ning Ye suddenly received the recall call, although he saw a little reluctance in her eyes, but after he had been gone for so many days, she hadn't even called him. He called, and most of them were not answered at that time, he left a message on WeChat, and she replied occasionally, which was also very concise and clear.

If it weren't for the photos on his phone that he insisted on taking, she was next to him and smiled so warmly. He almost felt that it was just a sweet dream he had ten days ago.

Hu Xinlan saw that her son was concentrating on eating, so she tentatively changed the topic: "The flower cake you bought this time is not as sweet as before, and it is more refreshing." ”

"Well, when we went to buy it, she said that now there is this kind of not too sweet, which is more suitable for the elderly." Ning Ye replied casually.

The corners of Hu Xinlan's mouth unconsciously showed a smile, it turned out that this was not a lack of food, it was an excuse that it was not yet time. As for the matter of buying bread, it is even more strange, when did her son know that she cared about these things when her son grew so big? This bread was bought by someone else, and who was the person who accompanied it? And who said that there is a pie suitable for the elderly?

"Why did you suddenly want to go to Li Yun's house for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Hu Xinlan continued to go around in circles, although this son is not so close to him, but he still knows very well what his temperament is. He has been nurtured by his grandparents since he was a child, and he has a good grasp of these etiquette matters. This Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for family reunions, if there is no reason, no matter how good his relationship with Li Yun is, he will not rush to his house for the holiday.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, so let's get together. Besides, there are a lot of people celebrating the festival in their family, and I am not rude. Li Yun explained.

After hearing this, Hu Xinlan's heart became even brighter, and she continued to ask: "I remember that their family is the same as ours, just Li Yun." Is it Li Yun who came back with his wife and children? ”

"No, I said I wanted to come back around the Spring Festival."

"Then how can there be so many people?"

"Li Yun also has a younger sister, and I brought a few friends, so it was lively."

"Where does Li Yun have a sister, it's not that I don't know you Aunt Zhang, why don't I remember that she also gave birth to a daughter."

"Mom, are you still letting me eat?"

"You can't be talking about Zhang Heng's niece, right? I think about it, what's it called, Xiaoqiu is here, right? Hu Xinlan saw that her son was about to bypass again, so she simply clarified the topic.

Ning Ye looked helpless and had to nod.

Hu Xinlan suddenly remembered something, leaned in front of the table and asked, "Have you asked me back, does Jiang University have any teacher's daughter, who is black and thin, and who is particularly good at reading, wouldn't she be the one who asked?" ”

Ning Ye listened to his mother's words, choked on a mouthful of food in his throat, and coughed violently.

When Hu Xinlan saw her son's reaction, she couldn't help but laugh, and hurriedly filled her son another bowl of soup and said: "I remember that I saw that child once before, her aunt took her, she was still young at that time, thin and thin, but not black at all, but I remember the child's eyes, black and bright."

I also praised the kid to your Aunt Zhang, saying that he was a good reader at first glance. Your Aunt Zhang is happier when she hears me praise that child, but she is happier than she praises Liyun, saying that she will never forget. I still muttered in my heart, such an aunt is also rare in the world, wasn't the child seriously ill at that time? Oh, your Aunt Zhang is in a hurry, everyone is thin and out of appearance, and she often asks for leave, I remember that I also helped her with substitute classes.

Later, I heard that it was good, and I said that I had skipped a grade. If you want to say, it is estimated that your Aunt Zhang's family has good genetics, you see Li Yun, who used to be an Olympiad champion, and now he is a young scientist, I heard that he is a talent recalled by the state. This one is called Xiaoqiu, according to your Aunt Zhang's words, I am afraid that it is not worse than Li Yun. What is this kid doing now? ”

Hu Xinlan said as she watched her son's reaction, and her heart was even more scored, and she didn't ask a word coldly, Ning Ye just stopped coughing, and replied in a daze: "She made a translator." ”

"Yes, it's good to be a translator, but it's not as good as her brother, it seems that your Aunt Zhang is praising too much." Hu Xinlan blinked and continued.

"Mom, these are completely different fields, but there is no comparison. If you want to compare hard, hey, forget it, anyway, in Li Yun's words, he thinks he is not as good as his sister. Ning Ye had already sensed the taste, and he didn't follow his mother's words.

Hu Xinlan saw that her son had come back to her senses, so she couldn't ask, but she went around something else: "I remember that the child is only one year younger than Li Yun, this is also more than thirty, is he married?" ”

Ning Ye only felt that there was no way to eat this meal anymore, but he couldn't help but answer this question, so he shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Ouch, that Zhang Heng must not die in a hurry, this girl is not like a boy, why hasn't she started a family until now?" Hu Xinlan knew that if her son was interested in such a problem, he would definitely give an explanation at this time.

Ning Ye knew that this was a sensitive topic involving Zhang Shuqiu's impression in his mother's heart, and he not only had to answer, but also had to answer thoroughly: "I have been abroad for a few years, busy with my career. As far as I know, she has advanced translation qualifications in seven foreign languages, but when I look at her translations, it seems that there are many more books she has translated. Listening to Mr. Yu in our department, he is very powerful, and he has already sat in the position of a god in the industry at this age. He has also been hired as a visiting professor by some top universities abroad......"

Although Hu Xinlan was wearing an apron and a homely cardigan at this time, she was no different from an ordinary old lady, but that vision and insight were extremely difficult to fool, and before Ning Ye could take a breath, she blinked her eyes and asked, "Haven't you been looking for her?" It stands to reason that there must be an intersection in your work, and it is impossible for you not to notice such a brilliant resume? Why haven't you heard you talk about it before? ”

Ning Ye smiled bitterly: "I have only been in this position for two or three years, and she stopped working a few years ago, and just focused on cultural input and output. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Ning Ye knew that he had fallen into the pit dug by his mother, and all of them were defeated.

Hu Xinlan looked at her son's stunned appearance, couldn't help laughing, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks in front of her son and said, "You don't blame me for this, you can only blame yourself for not asking clearly." Eh, you said the girl was black and skinny, when did that happen? You only met her in Jiangcheng, and you know that you are the child of a teacher of Jiang University, so you fell in love with her at that moment? ”

Ning Ye was asked by his mother and didn't know what to say, so he simply got up and said, "Mom, I'm tired, let's go and rest first." ”

Hu Xinlan smiled at the corner of her mouth, she couldn't stop her, but she was very sure in her heart, this kid would have to come back to her immediately.

Hu Xinlan watched her son go upstairs without looking back, she was in a very happy mood and wiped the table, and suddenly felt that the usual spacious room didn't look so empty.

Hu Xinlan finished washing the dishes slowly, sat back in the bedroom, put on her glasses, and picked up the half-read translation book on the table, the translator's name was not Zhang Shuqiu.

A few days ago, when Hu Xinlan cleaned up her son's study, she found that he came home with a large box of books before leaving the country. The more I watched it, the more interesting it became, and then I was too lazy to change it, so I simply moved to my study together.

At first, Hu Xinlan was still a little confused, how could Ning Ye suddenly like these translations. Although these books are good, my son is usually very busy, and it is impossible for him to pay attention to such books.

In the past few days, Hu Xinlan has read almost all these books. At first, she didn't think anything, but she thought that this translator's Chinese skills were very good. Later, I read the second and third books, and found that the Chinese skills of this book are excellent, and the style is similar, I couldn't help but turn the translator's name, only to find that so many books in different languages were translated by the same person.

This discovery made Hu Xinlan can't help but admire, she is really a very powerful talent. Thinking of the nature of his son's work, I thought that he had found these books for work. But then I suddenly heard my husband say that my son had decided to go out to exercise, so I was faintly confused.

Unexpectedly, after a meal, this is the answer, and the heart disease is almost gone.

Sure enough, the matter of marriage is still about fate......
