"Dad, I have enough money. It's been a long time since you've bought new clothes, I'm going to buy you clothes anyway, this week our school held an English speech contest, I won a third place, got a little scholarship, anyway, I have the money to buy it for you. Qian Ling patiently explained to his father.

"Really? Girls are awesome. Don't use it indiscriminately when you get the scholarship, you can go home and wait for something delicious. Qianling's father said happily.

On Saturday morning, Qian Ling and An Luoshu both went to the bus station with their suitcases, and they were going back. Although they have been good friends together since high school, they are not from the same place, and their homes are two adjacent counties. The shuttle bus was not together, and after saying goodbye to each other, Qianling and An Luoshu embarked on the journey home.

Sitting by the window, Qian Ling looked at the scenery on the side of the road, looked at it and fell asleep, after a few hours of driving, she finally returned to her hometown Xixi County. Qianling's father was at work when he received the call from Qianling, so he couldn't pick up Qianling. Qian Ling had no choice but to go home alone.

As soon as Qian Ling returned home, she felt very cordial when she looked at the familiar furniture, it was like returning to her mother's arms, her whole body relaxed, her father was still at work, she was the only one at home, Qian Ling put down her luggage, walked to the supermarket to buy vegetables, and prepared to cook for her father. Qianling went to a newly opened supermarket recently, and saw all kinds of discount brands from a distance, Qianling, who has always been thrifty, decided to go to those discounted places to take a look, and walked for about an hour, Qianling's shopping cart was already full.

She looked at it, there should be nothing left to buy, so she went to line up to check out, and just settled the bill. She understood something. Qian Ling only cared about buying and buying for himself, but he bought so many things. Even if I give her two more hands, I won't be able to carry them away. Qian Ling thought helplessly: "Didn't I only buy food for one lunch meal?" This unconsciously picked a big basket, and the box can't be carried, and it takes half a day to return the goods, why am I so stupid? “

Qian Ling touched his bag, and sadly found that he hadn't brought his mobile phone yet, and it was impossible for his father to pick it up. When she was worried, an aunt suddenly appeared in front of Qianling's eyes: Are you Qian Wenang's daughter? Qian Ling was at a loss, but she answered the mother-in-law out of politeness, "Yes, my name is Qian Ling, who are you, mother-in-law?" How do you know me? ”

The mother-in-law immediately smiled and said, "My daughter is in a community with your father, your father is your daughter, she looks good, she studies well, who doesn't know in the whole community, your grandmother and I are still dance partners, you are very happy to talk about it, but you shouldn't have lost your mother in the early years, and life is hard." “

Qian Ling thought speechlessly, "These gossipy old women, my father is not a person who will show off everywhere, it must be that you like to watch the excitement, and seeing that you are old, I won't care about you." The enthusiastic mother-in-law said, "Can't you carry it alone?" I'll carry it for you, just in time for me along the way. Qian Ling was very uneasy, and hurriedly snatched the bag from her mother-in-law's hand and said, "You better rest, I'll just come by myself, you are so old, how can I let you help me carry it?" “

Qian Ling said as he pulled the handle of the plastic bag and tried to snatch it over. What I didn't expect was that this old woman's strength was so strong that she didn't move, and her mother-in-law still said with a smile on her face, "You're welcome, I have a very good relationship with your father, don't look at my hair is gray, but my physical fitness is good, with me, I don't have to tire you at all." ”

As she said this, she snatched the two largest shopping bags while Qian Ling was not paying attention, and walked away with gusto. Qian Ling was dumbfounded, and hurriedly ran up to hold her mother-in-law's hand, and her mother-in-law preemptively said, "Qianling girl, although I am spiritual, I can't pull and pull, people's bones are very brittle when they are old, and they can't withstand such a toss, so you can hurry up and carry your things." This was so obvious that Qian Ling had no choice but to give up, obediently took the remaining bag, and followed the old woman out of the supermarket.

On the way, the enthusiastic old woman told Qian Ling a lot of recent things in the community, of course Qian Ling couldn't interject, so she listened silently, and finally walked into the community, Qian Ling hurriedly said to the old woman, "Mother-in-law, you see this is coming soon, no need to continue to send it, where do you live?" I can ask my dad to take you home. ”

The old woman shook her head and said, "My daughter lives in this community, there is no need to send it, she has always lived alone, except for going to work every day, she has always been very lonely, I just came to see her today." Qian Ling heard the old woman say that her daughter lived alone, so she enthusiastically asked the old woman, how many units does your daughter live in? I'm sometimes bored at home on vacation, so I can sit there when I have time. ”

The wife's originally somewhat melancholy face was wrinkled again: "Girl, my daughter's house is actually opposite the window of your house, I remember it very well." I heard that your college is in the city, it's quite far away, you definitely can't come back often, or tomorrow you will come to my daughter's house to play a trick, Qian Ling was stunned, she politely replied to this enthusiastic mother-in-law. "Well, mother-in-law, why don't you wait until I have a holiday, I can only arrange two days when I come back this time, I have other things to do, I should be very busy."

The old woman sighed a little and said, "Hey, you young people are busy, and it's so difficult to find time." Qian Ling's nose was sour, and she hadn't seen her father for a long time. Qian Ling promised the old woman that the next time she came back, she would definitely go to her house to play, and after separating from the old woman, Qian Ling began to wash her hands and cook.

She was busy for more than an hour, three dishes and one soup were finally ready, and she put the newly bought rosemary and starry dried flowers in the vase, so that the whole room was sublimated, Qian Wenang knew that his precious daughter had returned, and his joy was overflowing.

This elegant man sat down next to his daughter gently, asked softly, and looked at her with love in his eyes, Qian Ling silently answered the boring questions from his father, and finally in an empty place, she pushed her father's bowl in front of him, and complained loudly: "Dad, you just hurry up and eat, don't ask, I'm hungry, I want to eat first, Qian Wenang really stopped asking and began to eat food." Qian Wenang began to praise after eating for a while, and said, "I am starting to enjoy myself, my daughter's dishes are very delicious, I really want to eat ready-made ones every day." ”

In Qianling's heart, that's called a refreshing, in fact, can she still not know the dishes she stir-fried? It's just barely enough to eat, as long as a little bit of fine cooking skills can completely turn her into scum in seconds, she snickered and said, "Where is there such an exaggeration?" ”

Qian Wenang replied, "As long as you make it, it's delicious." This sentence reminded Qian Ling of the picture when he was a child, no matter what kind of meal Qian Ling's mother cooked, his father could always finish it. And always praise my mother's cooking skills, of course, Qianling's mother's cooking skills are really good, in the past, when I was in the countryside, the women in the village would always come to talk to my mother, and most of them came to ask for advice on how to cook. Qianling's mother always knows everything and says everything.

When Qianling's mother was still there, her father was a big fat man in her impression, she especially liked her father to play with her on his back, the thick quilt was full of security, the strong arms could throw her into the air and catch it, and the soft belly was her favorite pillow. Later, after Qianling's mother died, Qianling's father became thinner and thinner, calm and melancholy, and at this time he was like the father in the previous wedding photo.

Qian Wenang said a lot, and when he saw Qian Ling wandering, he touched her and asked her, what was she thinking? Qian Ling woke up from the memory, looked at his old father and didn't say what he was thinking just now, he understood that it took many years for his father to get out of the days without his mother. Qian Ling opened the topic and told her father about the enthusiastic mother-in-law she met when she went to the supermarket today.

After hearing Qian Ling's description, Qian Wenang asked, "This mother-in-law said that her daughter lives in the opposite window, right?" "Yes." Qian Ling told Qian Wenang all the conversations she had with her enthusiastic mother-in-law, and Qian Wenang knew in his heart that he didn't tell Qian Ling. In fact, my mother-in-law's daughter is an employee of the same company as her, and she used to be a child in the same teacher's dormitory. "Since you have promised someone, then you must go to someone's house next time you come back." Qian Wenang taught Qian Ling.

"Got it, Dad." Qian Ling replied obediently. Qian Ling took advantage of the break and went to the house of his former high school classmates to play. In their mouths, she learned that Jing Hao had been in a car accident as early as a week ago. The injuries are severe, and he has not yet recovered. Qianling was so worried that he hurried to Yonsei Hospital to visit Jinghao.

When Qianling arrived at the hospital, Jing Hao had already been transferred from the intensive care unit to the VIP ward, and Jing Hao's mother arranged for a nanny to take care of Jing Hao all the time. When Qianling arrived at the ward, he just caught up with Jing Hao's mother and came to visit Jing Hao. Jing Hao's mother looked at Qian Ling, and she asked her, "Who are you?" Is it Jing Hao's classmate? ”

Qian Ling bit her lip and plucked up her courage to say, "Auntie, in fact, I am Jing Hao's girlfriend." My name is Qianling. ”

Jing Hao's mother's face changed suddenly, and she said sharply: "You are Qian Ling, as his girlfriend, you didn't come to see him until he had an accident for a week, where is your conscience?" If it weren't for the fact that you were in Yeon, would he have come here to go to school? It's only been a long time since something like this happened, and you can't escape it. ”
