032 What are you embarrassed about with your mother?
The whole world is waiting for me to grow up, and I can't stay where I am forever to live up to everyone's expectations, so I can only desperately move forward and walk, but my heart has not changed, you have always stayed on the tip of my heart, once upon a time, now and in the future.
Old Man He snorted coldly, "What don't you dare." ”
He Yu smiled, the old man pointed to his shoulder, He Yu stood up and rubbed his shoulder for his grandfather. I only heard my grandfather say: "When you are young, don't take interests too seriously." Do something serious. Grandpa, I still want to see a few more years of good times, and see that you can do something. ”
He Yu was silent.
Grandfather didn't say anything for a long time, He Yu thought that his grandfather might be sleepy, he looked down and found that the old man was staring at the red lacquer food box, thoughtful.
"Grandpa, what are you thinking?" He couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm," the old man replied, "Tang Tang is a good boy." ”
He Yu's movements on his hands stopped.
"I've looked at her coldly all these years, it's her, I can make do with you, the demon king of the mixed world. Your mother still has this vision. ”
The old man's tone was calm, like a river flowing quietly in the night. He Yu felt that his heart was also quiet. He sat down and looked at his grandfather. The grandfather and grandson looked at each other like this, and after a while, He Yu heard his grandfather ask, "I can stay here for two more days." ”
He Yu thought about it and nodded.
"I have one condition."
He Yu looked at his grandfather, how could he only work for a while, as if he had become a bargaining child.
"You've got to pick me up."
"That's fine." He Yu smiled.
"Open your ......," the old man's hand swiped in front of He Yu, and said, "Hum, the heart is not your own - that's it." When the time comes, you come to me, 'hum', a moment. ”
He Yu seemed to see bullets flying in front of his eyes.
Finally completed the student's defense, successfully sent off the graduates, and Li Yaotang officially started his summer life. In these short days, Mother He always called every day, just to let Li Yaotang go to Shanghai as soon as possible.
In the end, Li Yaotang still chose to fly to Shanghai on He Yu's special plane instead of taking the train. If you think about it, if you take the train, you don't know how many calls you have to answer along the way to ask about your itinerary, and it will be difficult to think about it, and how to see the scenery along the way.
Mother He smiled and opened the door for Li Yaotang in person.
"Mom." Li Yaotang smiled.
Mother He took her hand warmly and walked inside, "It's good that you can come, I thought my old woman was going to live alone again today." ”
Tang Tang couldn't help laughing when she heard her mother-in-law suddenly speak in a tone with a strong northwest accent, and then asked, "Where's Dad?" ”
"I've been out for meetings for a few days."
"When will Big Brother and Sister-in-law and Hopping come back?"
"Grandpa is sick, your eldest brother and sister-in-law took Hopping to Hong Kong, I don't know if I will come back this summer. I told them that it didn't matter if I didn't come back. The elders in the family are sick, and they should be filial. ”
Li Yaotang nodded.
Mother He pulled Li Yaotang to sit down, "Look at this white-faced, thin-faced ......" Her warm hand held Li Yaotang's chin, looked at it carefully, and frowned, "I said that Tiezi didn't take care of you, and he still stiffened his mouth." ”
"Don't blame him."
"The last time my mother went back to Beijing, I thought I could stay for a while and recuperate for you, but then something suddenly happened and I left in a hurry."
There was regret and guilt in He Mu's tone.
"I know, Mom." Li Yaotang opened his mouth lightly.
Aunt Liu at home came out with refreshments and looked at Li Yaotang with a smile.
He Mu smiled: "My family Tangtang has always been empathetic, and he never said bad things about Xiaotie. ”
"Not really." Aunt Liu smiled.
"Grab a bite to eat and go upstairs to rest. In the evening, we eat noodles. He Mu said thoughtfully.
"I'm not tired, Mom." Li Yaotang said busily.
"Then talk to me for a while." He Mu was very happy, "I'll go out later." Which supermarket around the corner has good apples. I want to go shopping again, there are some things to buy. ”
"Then I'll go with you."
"No, I don't. I'll go out, and you'll rest. ”
Aunt Liu went to bring another cup over. Li Yaotang smelled the strong medicinal fragrance.
"Mom is taking Chinese medicine?" She asked.
Aunt Liu put the pastel cup in front of Li Yaotang, looked at her with a smile, and said, "It's not Madame's, it's yours." ”
He Mu smiled: "Your illness is not completely cured, the humidity here in Shanghai is heavy, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." I asked the health care doctor to prepare a few flavors of Chinese medicine, and asked Aunt Liu to fry it, and you can eat it for two days. ”
Li Yaotang knew that her mother-in-law believed in Chinese medicine and was proficient in pharmacology, and she was accustomed to taking some medicinal decoction she ordered. Immediately he picked up the medicine cup and drank the black-brown soup. Aunt Shen handed over the rock sugar cup, she shook her head, and only took a sip of water.
"It's not bitter." Li Yaotang smiled.
It's the same in the Li family, she is considered to be a big mess in the pile of herbs, where is she afraid of this?
Aunt Liu praised it.
Mother He looked at her with satisfaction and smiled, and said, "It's still our Tang Tang who is obedient, and those few who ask them to drink some tonic soup are like killing them." This is especially true of Xiao Tie. The second is your sister-in-law. The little devil who jumped did the same, daring to shout in English to his grandmother that this was poison. ”
He Mu smiled and waved her hands, graceful and luxurious. She should be the He family's most insistence on traditional Chinese medicine. Others have been poisoned by Western medicine for a long time. It is no wonder that by advocating "opening your eyes to the world", the He family followed the trend of learning from the West to the East. Tradition is still respected, but medicine is a belief in Western medicine. She wasn't impressed. If you have the opportunity, let the children try Chinese medicine. Although there have been repeated setbacks, I still enjoy it.
Li Yaotang listened to it funny.
"Hopping English is much more fluent than Chinese, and your father is very dissatisfied. I want your sister-in-law to pay attention to Chinese education. It is said that the children of the He family are all first-class in Sinology, and Dachuan Xiaotie has also learned Chinese in a solid manner, and fake foreign devils are not allowed in the family. ”
"Hopping is in Canada after all."
He Mu smiled: "That's it." Dad is angry that your sister-in-law also speaks English with Hopping at home. ”
Li Yaotang nodded. Liu Shu himself is a foreign devil, it is inevitable. But the He family is still an authentic big family in the end, although it is Western, it also retains some traditions. No wonder the Guild said that.
"Dad said that the children of the second family don't have to worry about this in the future." He Mu looked at Li Yaotang with a smile.
Li Yaotang was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew what his mother-in-law was referring to. How could she not understand such an obvious hint? I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I had to smile vaguely. Mother He was a little disappointed when she saw that Li Yaotang didn't answer this stubble.
"I said, Tang Tang."
"Mom."
"After the New Year, you will be thirty years old, and Tiehe is four or five years older than you, and he is not young."
“……”
"In the first few years, when you were in your career, you didn't have the energy to think about this, Mom understands. Now, you are also older, and besides, both of your careers are on track, and your relationship is stable, should this issue be put on the agenda? ”
“……”
"Mom has wanted to ask you for a long time, but she is worried that you are stressed; With Xiao Tieti, he just perfunctory me. He Mu's smiling eyes stared at Li Yaotang for a moment, and Li Yaotang's face gradually turned red under her gaze.
Child?
Maybe it's been a long time in the past two years, but it's not that she hasn't thought about it. It's just that every time a thought flashes through her, she quickly avoids it. It seemed like a shadow that couldn't be more illusory.
It turned out that the sister-in-law really didn't ask her for no reason. It's that the whole He family is already paying attention to this matter - He Yu, he didn't leak anything with her at all.
Did you forget? Did you not pay attention to it at all? Or are you looking for the right time to talk to her?
Li Yaotang was a little annoyed.
He only needs to mention it, and she won't be so passive at the moment.
But maybe he didn't want to mention it at all. Maybe he didn't even think about having children. Or maybe they didn't even think about having their children...... All sorts of thoughts were tumbling in her head, but she didn't have a clue. She pursed her lips, and her face burned more and more fiercely.
Seeing Li Yaotang's red face, He Mu just didn't squeak, smiled and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me?" ”
“……”
"You kid, what's so embarrassing about your mother? In my opinion, you should be defenseless. ”
Although there were only two of them in the house, Li Yaotang still felt ashamed and embarrassed. The beautiful and noble Mother He is just an ordinary mother-in-law at the moment, and she is still a mother-in-law who is anxious to hold her grandson - Li Yaotang didn't expect that she still has such a side.
"Mom......" Li Yaotang swallowed and wrung his fingers in embarrassment.
"That's it! Shrewd! He Mu smiled and patted Li Yaotang's face, "Yes, I'll wait." ”
She didn't wait for Li Yaotang to answer, and said something in a rambling manner. Li Yaotang's heart was so confused that he didn't listen to anything. Fortunately, Mother He was just chatting with her. A call came in for a while, and Aunt Liu asked her to answer it, so she got up and went into the room. Li Yaotang sat on the sofa and suddenly felt a dense layer of sweat on his forehead. She pulled out a tissue, folded it twice, and pressed it to her forehead.
Her mother-in-law's words caught her off guard.
She didn't know what she was supposed to do. It's just that I subconsciously don't want to answer my mother-in-law so quickly. In a hurry, it seems that any answer is a fool. She didn't want that.
But she is the daughter-in-law of the He family, and the old man's desire to add a new grandson is a normal wish; She is a woman, married and has children, it is human, and it is even more reasonable, does she have any reason to disagree? It seems that there is none.
So, what happens...... What did he think? Would he think the same way?
Li Yaotang thought of He Yu, and couldn't help but see his cold face and deep and sharp eyes in front of him, and that expression seemed to ask her: What about you, what do you think? Will you give me children? Would you like to?
Li Yaotang seemed to have a thunder rolling behind him.
She didn't dare to think further. Inexplicably, I feel irritable in my body.
In the room, Mother He put down the phone with a happy face, she asked Aunt Liu to take out the prepared Chinese medicine, and instructed Li Yaotang to stew tonic soup in the morning and evening starting tomorrow.
That small physique, it's useless, how can you do it if you don't make it up?
