Chapter Fifty-Eight: Old Girl
"Tuk tuk tuk" Lin Yao's door was knocked.
"Is Sister Lin here?" Li Shulan asked outside her room, "Sister Lin, let's have a meal with us later." ”
Lin Yao got up and opened the door, smiled at her, and said, "No need, you guys eat, I'm about to go out." "It's just a prevarication, it's really not good, she really goes out.
"We've already cooked the meal, wouldn't it be a waste if Sister Lin didn't eat at all?" Li Shulan looked at her with a blank eye, and said pleadingly: "Sister Lin, the dish will be ready immediately, and it won't take much time, let's eat together~." Besides, you've taken care of me for so long, so it's right to treat you to a meal. ”
Taking care of it definitely can't be talked about, Lin Yao knows very well that since Li Shulan and they moved in, they have always been stained by themselves.
And their family sits together to chat and eat, how inappropriate is it for her to sit there as an outsider?
Lin Yao was about to refuse, but saw Li Shulan pulling her sleeve and shaking it again and again, her eyes were full of begging, "Lin~Sister~, let's eat together~Well~"
Lin Yao's originally brewed words suddenly couldn't be spoken, and she had the illusion that the person in front of her was Jiang Mingshu instead of Li Shulan.
I don't know if Jiang Mingshu was influenced by her Hujian roommate, or the influence of idol dramas (dubbed by Hong Kong and Taiwan), she speaks very much, and she looks like a coquettish when she is not coquettish.
Li Shulan is an authentic Hujian girl, although she speaks Mandarin well and does not have a strong Hujian accent, but she is the same as Jiang Mingshu.
Lin Yao didn't know how the boy felt when she heard it, anyway, she couldn't refuse, "Then, I'll have another meal?" ”
"Great!" Li Shulan was overjoyed, "Then we're decided!" ”
******
When Lin Yao walked out of the room, she saw Li Shulan and her family of three already sitting around the small dining table.
She walked over with a smile and said to them, "Hello uncle, hello aunt!" ”
Li Shulan patted the empty chair and greeted warmly: "Sister Lin sit here, I served this bowl of soup for you, drink the soup first, and then serve the rice." ”
"Thank you, Shulan!" Lin Yao sat down as she said, and she asked casually, "Why isn't your husband here?" ”
Li Shulan's face immediately darkened, and she poked the rice in the bowl with the chopsticks in her hand, "He went back to the company after receiving his parents, their company is very annoying~, always working overtime, endless overtime!" ”
The atmosphere at the table suddenly fell into a depression.
Lin Yao also remembered at this time, Li Shulan's husband is indeed rarely at home, even on weekends, which pot does she belong to, which pot does she not open?
"Well, I'm ......" she didn't know what to say for a while, and laughed at herself, "I'm probably sleeping......"
Li Shulan raised her head and smiled a little reluctantly, "Oh, Sister Lin don't have to worry, anyway, I'm usually the only one at home, and I've long been used to it." ”
Li Shulan's husband is not the only one who always works overtime, Lin Yao rarely goes home early, eighteen-year-old Li Shulan goes to buy vegetables alone every day, cooks alone, eats alone, and cleans up alone after eating......
Lin Yao suddenly understood, no wonder, Li Shulan was very happy every time she saw her go home.
A look of worry appeared on Li Shulan's parents' faces.
Seeing this, Li Shulan hurriedly changed the topic, "My mother's stewed soup is delicious, Sister Lin try it!" ”
Lin Yao tasted it as she said, and sure enough!
Home-cooked food is different from the food in a restaurant, where the food pays more attention to taste and appearance, while home-cooked food is more attentive.
Li Shulan's mother's stew was so hot that even the bones were crispy, the soup was rich, and the meat was fragrant...... What's more addictive in winter than a hot bowl of fragrant bone broth?
For Lin Yao, there is no more!
She couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed, "It's delicious!" It's so delicious! Auntie's craftsmanship is really unspoken! ”
Li Shulan smiled from the bottom of her heart, "Yes, the soup made by my mother is the best." ”
was praised, Li Shulan's mother also smiled from ear to ear, "More~Eat~Point~, you are all too thin, More~Eat~Point~!" ”
The small restaurant is filled with laughter, which is very warm, as if it can dispel the chill of winter.
******
After the meal, Li Shulan was sent back to the room to lie down and raise the fetus.
Li Shulan's father sat there with his legs crossed.
Lin Yao took the initiative to help Li Shulan's mother clean up the mess.
Li Shulan's parents are very young, they look to be in their forties, and the actual age is probably less than forty.
Lin Yao felt incredible when she thought about it, two people at such a young age were about to become grandparents!
Li Shulan's mother is a little blessed, she looks very similar to Li Shulan when she laughs, very kind, "Miss Lin~How old is this year~?" "The accent is also a little familiar.
Lin Yao replied while handing over the bowl in his hand, "Twenty-one." ”
"Yo!!" Li Shulan's mother exclaimed, "Are you twenty-one ~ years old?" I really can't see ~come~. ”
This is not flattery, Lin Yao looks younger than her actual age, while Li Shulan is more mature than her actual age, so the twenty-one-year-old Lin Yao does look younger than the eighteen-year-old Li Shulan.
Li Shulan's mother seemed to be a little hesitant, but she still spoke cautiously, "Miss Lin~not married~yet~?" That look, that look is exactly the same as Li Shulan.
"Mom... ¥%¥——*%…*?? …”
Li Shulan shouted in the room, she was speaking in a dialect, Lin Yao couldn't understand it, but listening to the tone should be explaining why Lin Yao was not married yet.
Li Shulan's mother listened to her daughter's words, her face changed and changed, and she seemed to feel a little sorry for Lin Yao's appearance, and it may also be sympathy.
"yes, not yet." Lin Yao smiled disapprehantly, "I only graduated from school last year, and I only worked for a year, so I didn't find a partner so quickly." ”
Li Shulan's mother widened her eyes and exclaimed, "You Lu child read this~?~How much~books~~?!" ”
(Lv child = girl)
Lin Yao was stunned, according to what she meant, boys should study more, and girls don't have to?
And she only graduated from a junior college, how can she be qualified to be called "reading so many books"?
However, Li Shulan got married as a teenager and is likely to have not finished high school, or has not attended high school at all.
Compared with Li Shulan, Lin Yao has indeed read a lot of books...... So she said "um".
Li Shulan muttered in the room, "Mom...#?? ~%**——*~…#*! It sounded very upset, like complaining that her mother shouldn't have said this.
Lin Yao discovered that it turned out that every girl was more willful in front of her mother, and Li Shulan was no exception.
Li Shulan's father obviously didn't want to see his wife being bullied by his daughter, and took the lead in protesting, "&**^$~~^$#@~~!" ”
Li Shulan's mother also muttered a few words, "%$^~??" —*~~$~~" seems to be weakly defending himself.
Lin Yao didn't want to see their family arguing over her matter, so she made a round, "Shulan, I'll have a casual chat with my aunt, it's okay." ”
"Yes~~~, let's just talk casually~, it doesn't matter~." Li Shulan's mother smiled again, but she was still most concerned about Lin Yao's marriage, "Miss Lin's family hasn't arranged a blind date ~yet~?" ”
Lin Yao felt helpless, "The family is not in a hurry, I am only twenty-one years old this year, and many people are still in school when they are my age." ”
It is a fact that those who can be admitted to the undergraduate program are still studying.
Li Shulan's parents looked at each other, they obviously didn't believe her statement, and the two got together and muttered quietly.
Lin Yao was about to go back to the room, when Li Shulan's mother spoke again: "Our ~li~all~ are married in teenagers~...... At the age of twenty, you became an old ~girl~mother~, you are twenty-one~, why doesn't the family arrange ~arrangement~~? ”
Lin Yao stiffened, her face full of disbelief.
Old girl?
Who is the old girl she says?
