Chapter 4 Waiting for You to Marry Me
Li Yueru pulled Jiang Yang, put the things at home, and hurried to the supermarket in the community to buy vegetables.
Like Jiang Yang when he was a child, it's just that at that time, Jiang Yang's love was just beginning, and he was a little repulsed by his mother's intimate actions, which was unacceptable.
It's just that the skin on my mother's hands is a little loose now, and the old dead skin is a little awkward in Jiang Yang's delicate palms. However, my mother still looked young, and I couldn't tell that she was nearly fifty years old.
Li Yueru bought a lot of vegetables, unlike other mothers, others bought what their daughters liked to eat, and Li Yueru bought her own specialty dishes.
"Let me tell you, Jiang Jiang, Zhou Pin's boiled pork slices at the store where he invited guests last time really didn't do well, Mom made you an authentic one today"
"Jiang Jiang, do you remember your mother's specialty dish? I told you that this shredded meat has to be chicken breast......"
Jiang Yang followed behind Li Yueru, listening to Li Yueru's babbling, her mother didn't talk so much in her memory, and she was very busy every day. It's just that she hasn't gone to work in the past few years, and Jiang Yang has grown up and doesn't need her to pay living expenses, and she has a very easy life.
Li Yueru is different, unlike many people, she almost couldn't cook any dishes when she was young, she could only cook a few home-cooked dishes to fill her stomach, and cooking was also learned from her neighbors in the past few years.
Jiang Yang suddenly felt a little indebted to her mother for letting her live a normal life that a woman should have so late.
Li Yueru said that she wanted to cook a big meal by herself, so she started washing and picking vegetables at two or three o'clock after she went back.
Jiang Yang has been helping on the side, Li Yueru talked about Jiang Yang's study abroad for two or three years, which aunt taught her to cook this dish, which person played mahjong with her and lost without giving money, all of which were ordinary trivialities, Jiang Yang occasionally interjected and said something about his own abroad.
I don't know when it started, and the topic came to Zhou Pin.
Li Yueru is also quite satisfied with Zhou Pin, as the saying goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes it.
At the beginning, as soon as Zhou Pin returned to China, he sent the things that Jiang Yang entrusted him to bring to him, Li Yueru happened to have something to do that day, and he didn't come back until the evening, and he waited for her for two or three hours as a big man, just because Jiang Yang told her to give her the things in person.
At that time, Li Yueru was quite satisfied with this young man, and later learned that her daughter was in a relationship with him.
"Alas! What did you marry Xiao Zhou? She suddenly asked such a question
Jiang Yang's action of picking vegetables paused, deliberately bypassing this question, "Mom, it's still early!" ”
"Morning! You're twenty-six! Look at your high school classmates, they all have kids! Li Yueru really wanted to get this son-in-law in her pocket as soon as possible.
She has had enough of living alone, and she doesn't want her daughter to follow in her footsteps.
"That's different, I'm a doctor" Jiang Yang is obviously deliberately evading, "I make a lot of money." ”
Li Yueru glanced at her, turned her head to look at the lettuce in her hand, and didn't continue to talk about it.
Since Jiang Yang didn't want to face it, she also chose not to participate. She lowered her head, and a look of loneliness suddenly overflowed in her eyes, "It's really good that girls can do something." ”
Jiang Yang didn't hear clearly, "Huh? Turning his head to look at her, there was nothing abnormal, Jiang Yang thought he was hallucinating. Shaking his head, he continued to work on his hands.
I received a call from Zhou Pin at the dinner table. She didn't shy away from it, and answered the phone at the table.
"Hello?" Zhou Pin's gentle voice sounded on the other end, "Where?" ”
"I'm here with my mother," he picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth, and replied a little slurred.
"Will you come back tonight?"
Jiang Yang looked up at Li Yueru, she was watching TV, as if she knew what Jiang Yang was thinking, she immediately said, "I just like to live alone, don't come back to bother me."
Jiang Yang immediately said to the phone: "Yes, you can eat first and then come over." She didn't want to give Li Yueru too many opportunities to get along with Zhou Pin
Zhou Pin was amused and laughed, "Okay, I'll pick you up at about nine o'clock." Listening to her reaction, she was afraid that she was forced to get married.
"Hmm."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yueru gave her a blank look, "That's what you did to your boyfriend?" ”
Jiang Yang didn't speak, and put a piece of boiled meat slices into Li Yueru's bowl, "Mom, your specialty dish." "Changed the subject.
After eating and cleaning up for a long time, the two of them didn't even eat a third of the table, and all of them were put in the refrigerator.
But even so, Li Yueru is still happy with it, like a child who has just learned to blow bubble gum, even if everyone is used to it, she will be happy to show off to everyone she knows.
This old neighborhood is no better than Zhou Pin's apartment, and there is gradually loud music downstairs, accompanied by the breath of the elderly, igniting the dry air, but also adding a little luster to their daily life.
The street lamps glowed white, working in the night breeze for a long time, and mosquitoes fluttered in the light and shadow.
When Zhou Pin came, Jiang Yang was accompanying Li Yueru to watch Taiwan's bloody TV series on the sofa, Li Yueru opened the door for him, and he politely shouted "Auntie!" ”
Li Yueru snorted, not too enthusiastic or cold, and asked politely knowingly, "Have you eaten?" Xiao Zhou? ”
Zhou Pin nodded, "Eat." ”
Jiang Yang had already packed his things and came to the door, and naturally stepped out of the house and grabbed the man's arm. "Mom, then I'm leaving. I'm coming to see you in two days, and the leftovers in the refrigerator will be poured after one hot time, don't stay too long, it's not good to eat, you know? ”
Zhou Pin always smiled politely, "Auntie, then I'll take Jiang Jiang away first." ”
Li Yueru nodded, watching this man take his daughter away and not enter the corridor, the voice-activated light in the corridor has been used for many years, and it is too old to light up.
Jiang Yang's hands were wrapped in Zhou Pin's dry and warm big hands, leading himself forward in the dark, and they went downstairs together, the dim street lamp cast a little halo on the top of the man's head, the collar of the suit was a little wrinkled, and Zhou Pin looked a little tired. His hair looked a little messy, but when he saw her, he smiled as if nothing had happened.
When she went back, it was Zhou Pin who led her into the elevator door, Jiang Yang looked at the pair of people reflected in the mirror in the elevator, she thought that she was really lucky in this life.
When the door was closed, Zhou Pin suddenly bullied up, Jiang Yang was stunned, the man was amused by her movements, and his hands held her face.
"Is your mother forced to get married?" His forehead was against hers, his eyes were covered by his eyelids, and the smile between his eyebrows was mixed with a hint of tiredness.
In the darkness, he couldn't see Jiang Yang's expression. No one answered him, the room was quiet and there was no sound. "Huh?" Receiving no response, he asked again.
"Nope. This lie is a bit outrageous. She didn't want to put too much pressure on him, they were both young.
Maybe so, because she didn't seem to be thinking about getting married herself.
