Chapter 55: Demonization
I bought some souvenirs by the way and asked my mother to share them with friends.
This time, she accepted it with a smile and didn't forget to praise it. I don't know what my mother's real thoughts are, just like Mu Liang said, try your best to do what you can, and leave the rest to time.
Since Mu Liang passed his mother's level, he often took the initiative to take his mother and father out to play together. Sometimes it's mountain climbing, sometimes it's eating good food.
Mom began to praise Mu Liang, but who expected that this seemed to have developed another habit. It's like taking drugs, and if you taste it, you will repeat it over and over again.
On Valentine's Day, Mu Liang asked me to watch a movie. As soon as I arrived at the cinema, my mother's phone called.
"Xiangwan, where are you going to play? You're all out on Valentine's Day, I'm here alone, there's no one in front of me, no one to talk to, alas......"
"Okay, I'll go back after watching the movie."
I answered the phone three or four times after a movie, and before it was over, I hurried back.
As soon as I got home, my mother began to count.
"I said you, you don't know anything about people. Leave me home alone, what if something happens? Be careful that you're no longer mommy, you know! ”
"Mom, you've made no less than three or five phone calls a day. We didn't go anywhere, we went to work as usual during the day, and we only watched a movie, and we haven't watched it yet. Usually Mu Liang and I don't take you out to play often? ”
I can't figure out how my mother suddenly became like this, is it the so-called sense of loss?
"Oh, if you don't take me to the movies. Could it be that my old man went to the movies by himself? Is there such a thing? Isn't everyone else where to have good food and fun, and they all bring their mothers? I'm just not as good as anyone else's! Hello to the evening...... You have to know that it's not easy for your mother and me to pull you, without me, can you still be as happy as you are now? Mu Liang is good to you, shouldn't you thank me?! Without me urging you, can you still find Mu Liang? ”
Mom, what kind of brain circuit is this? I was stunned when I heard it.
"You and Mu Liang should both thank me! Did you know? You see that other people have to prepare gifts for their mothers for Christmas and Chung Yeung Festival, and they all ask me if I have them, and I am embarrassed to open my mouth, so I gave birth to an unfilial daughter! ”
"Mom, every year for three festivals plus birthdays, Mother's Day and Father's Day, I have prepared them all, and Mu Liang has prepared them for you. Now I take you out almost every week to have fun, and we don't have time to date at all. Mu Liang also saved money to buy a house, and he didn't pick the door at all, and the gifts he bought were all good things. Do you see that Cordyceps ginseng is missing? Can you just think about us a little bit? ”
The old mother rushed in with round eyes, slammed her fist on the door, and said angrily: "Heh! I say one word, you say ten! Who's bigger?! No money? What are you dating without money?! Mu Liang can't buy you a mobile phone? Haven't you bought clothes too? How? Spend some money on me, and you're going to talk about it?! I know that you are getting impatient with me when you quarrel every day. In addition, Mu Liang is considerate of you, buy this and buy that, you have a backer, what else do you want me to do? ! ”
Maybe my mother is worried that after I get married, I will forget her, she may be a little anxious because of her sensitive nature, I tried to suppress my temper, and I didn't meet my mother's bar.
Mom talked for a few hours and then changed the subject.
"Xiang Wan, you have to understand my mother, although the words are not good, but my heart is good. No one has ever said that I am bad, and if there is, it is you to your family. You see, this time I watched a movie, Mu Liang didn't invite me, I watched, he didn't take me in his eyes anymore, and he didn't have a word! If I don't agree! What can he do?! It's not like you usually pretend to be pitiful in front of him and let Mu Liang have an opinion about me......"
I've had a few times like this, and I've had a long memory. I don't want to refute it, anyway, try to be thoughtful, make my mother feel better, and slowly accept that I will marry sooner or later, and have the reality of my own life.
From this time on, I often went home shopping, and when I heard that she was missing this or hinted that something was good, I would prepare it for her the next day.
As usual, before the Chinese New Year, Mu Liang gave some gifts to his mother.
"Xiang Wan, take a look, this is our mother and mother talking about themselves, look at what Mu Liang bought this time, this store is too fake. Will it be that expensive? You take your phone and scan it and show me the price. "My mother turned out all the gifts and stood next to me waiting for me to scan the code.
"Mom, it's not good for you to be like this, it's more or less your heart. Besides, you also know that Mu Liang is a generous person, how could he deliberately prepare bad things for you? ”
"Can you sweep me and see what you can do? Let's sweep it ourselves, just don't say no to Mu Liang. Mom glared at me.
At noon the next day, my mother chatted while eating: "People nowadays are smart, they know everything, and there are not so many twists and turns in society before." ”
"Hmm." I bowed my head and picked up the rice.
My mother looked at me and continued, "Didn't I say it, Xiang Wan. We have to buy good things when we spend the money, no, it's not that Mu Liang did it on purpose, you have to let him know and let him change stores. ”
I frowned.
"Look, as soon as I speak, you keep a straight face! That's just the way it is! The old mother suddenly aggravated her tone, and was ready to be angry, and said: "It's not that I said, I went to this store where Mu Liang bought things, and there are many kinds of Cordyceps, and the good ones are less fake, and the cheaper ones are more......"
When my mother said this, I felt uneasy.
The two of us haven't saved money for a few years of work, and we are about to buy a house and prepare for a wedding, but Mu Liang is constantly working hard to make money, buying things for my mother to go out to play, and never spending money without blinking, so I still have to pick thorns, I really think this is unreasonable.
I was unhappy and said, "Then you also saw the price, isn't it cheap?" Even if it is calculated according to the lowest price, it is not cheap, not to mention that Mu Liang bought the lowest, right? Nor did his money come from the wind. ”
"I don't like to hear that! Isn't that what we said ourselves? Mu Liang doesn't know! What did I say? I just said that if you buy less ginseng, isn't it also your own loss? Does this make sense? Mom said as she tapped her chopsticks on the table.
"We're not connoisseurs either, we've already bought it from the flagship store, so what else can we do! Others send things out of their hearts, why do you always love to pick thorns? ”
I put down the bowl, knowing that it was going to be stiff again, but I still couldn't bear it.
"Heh, did I pick a stab? I knew to be honest with others. Whether it's you or Mu Liang, look at which time I didn't prepare delicious food for you? Your favorite fruits, don't I have to look for them everywhere? Do you have my sincerity? Mom rolled her eyes.
