Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Skin Is Itchy
Because of Ms. Wen's arrival, Lin Yao didn't stay at home much during the New Year's Day holiday, and kept running around with her.
In the morning, I took her to burn incense in Lingyin Temple, worship Jigong, take her to the West Lake to watch the music fountain at night, and took many photos for her.
Ms. Wen was satisfied, but Lin Yao, a lazy person who could sit and never stand, and never sat while lying down, was tired.
After admiring the musical fountain, Lin Yao was tired and hungry, and she proposed: "Mom, wait a minute, I'll take you to eat delicious food, West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp ......."
Before Lin Yao finished saying the name of the dish, Ms. Wen interrupted her, "What are you doing wasting that money, I'll make you something to eat when you go home, the food outside is not clean and expensive, don't waste that money." β
When Lin Yao passed by the supermarket and was about to take Ms. Wen to buy some food, Ms. Wen said again: "What kind of food to buy?" Didn't I bring so many taro and let them rot at home if I didn't eat them? β
Lin Yao looked confused, "How can you just eat taro?" β
"Why not?" Ms. Wen said triumphantly: "Just the taro, I can cook a table of dishes for you." β
Ms. Wen is not bragging, she really can!
Steamed taro, taro with scallion oil, salt and pepper taro, braised taro, roasted tofu with taro, stewed stewed steak, taro soup, taro dumplings...... It's all her forte!
These are all from Lin Yao's snacks to big ones, can she not know?
Lin Yao suddenly thought of a question, according to the current rate at which they eat three catties of taro a day, it only takes more than half a month to eat this sack of taro!
It's just that she can't bear it when she eats taro every day!
That night, Ms. Wen said earnestly: "Yao, there is something that my mother didn't want to tell you, but now it seems that it is impossible not to say it." β
Ms. Wen usually picks her nose and eyes at her, either thinking she is stupid or lazy, and rarely is so calm.
Lin Yao had a bad guess, she blurted out, "I picked it up?" β
"Smack!"
Ms. Wen gave her a palm, but fortunately, it didn't hurt through the thick quilt.
Ms. Wen rebuked: "What nonsense? β
Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm joking with you, you continue." β
Ms. Wen sighed, "Mom had a blind date when she was young......"
"Wait a minute!" Lin Yao interrupted her again, "That person, could it be my biological father......
"Smack!"
Before she could say the words, Ms. Wen gave her another palm.
Dear mother, this palm must not be merciful!
Lin Yao wanted to cry without tears.
Ms. Wen was angry, "I said what kind of mess are you having in your head?" β
Lin Yao hurriedly begged for mercy, "Mom, I was wrong, I was really just joking to liven up the atmosphere, you say, you go on." β
was interrupted by Lin Yao one after another, and the solemn atmosphere that Ms. Wen had finally brewed changed, and she was a little embarrassed to mention the past.
***
It was a winter in my twenties.
Ms. Wen was introduced by a friend's friend and met a young man with good conditions, and the two got along very well.
At that time, the parties were all rushing to get married, and it was time for both parties to meet their parents if they looked suitable.
The day of the official meeting with her parents was very cold, and it was also Ms. Wen's menstrual period, she was very unwell, her stomach hurt badly, and her face was sallow.
What's even worse is that she was wearing a very ill-fitting padded jacket that Lin Yao's grandmother borrowed from others......
The man's family was shocked when they saw Ms. Wen.
They unanimously agreed that Ms. Wen must have an unknown hidden disease, and said that she looked a little hunchbacked, and in short, they did not agree to their marriage.
A good marriage was blown like this, and Ms. Wen was hit by this, decadent for several years, and became an old girl.
Later, Lin Yao's grandmother made the decision to marry Lao Lin, an honest and honest older young man, so that she still couldn't get used to Lao Lin after decades.
***
It's no wonder that Ms. Wen cares so much about dressing up......
Lin Yao thought a little distractedly.
She didn't know how long it had been since their mother and daughter had talked properly, and she didn't know if they had spoken like this.
For a while, she was full of emotion and said, "I'm afraid even Lao Lin doesn't know these things, right?" β
Ms. Wen and Lin Yao talked about these painful lessons, just to remind their daughter, so that she can pay attention to her own image.
As a result, her stupid daughter mentioned Lao Lin to her!
Ms. Wen was so angry that she almost didn't jump up as if someone had grabbed her pigtails, and she scolded and said, "What's the matter with Lao Lin?" You have itchy skin, don't you? β
Lin Yao was stunned, she just sighed, it was really not what Ms. Wen thought.
However, in order to avoid getting darker, she chose to silence.
was silent for a while, and just when Lin Yao thought that Ms. Wen was asleep, she heard her speak again.
"I don't have any special requirements for you to find a partner, people are real, just be good to you, it's best to be right. By the way, I heard that Hangzhou people look down on outsiders, so it would be good if you found someone in the province who would work in Hangzhou like you. β
Lin Yao snorted, her thoughts were similar to Ms. Wen's, just find someone who can live a good life with her.
Rich and handsome or something, she has never had the luxury of expecting it.
It is rare for the mother and daughter to reach a consensus.
Ms. Wen suddenly said, "By the way, I asked someone to tell you your fortune before I came." β
Lin Yao was a little flustered, "What's it?" Why go for fortune telling? β
Ms. Wen believed in the words of those goddesses or gods, and Lin Yao couldn't help but worry.
"Of course it's your marriage." Ms. Wen was proud when she said this, "I'm looking for the goddess of the hemp car, the most famous one in the town." They all said that she was accurate, and I went with Yingying's mother. I spent 50 yuan to calculate your marriage! β
(Note: The place name of the hemp car ---.) οΌ
Ms. Wen has a characteristic, but whenever she buys something, she must tell her how much money she spends, and how much money she earns every month, she must also tell her the specific figure...... If you don't say it's okay, it's uncomfortable.
Therefore, although Lin Yao has been away from home for five or six years, she still knows the family's income and expenditure well.
50 RMB...... Lin Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the goddess of the hemp car is a good goddess with integrity.
The problem is that Ms. Wen is her marriage......
Lin Yao really didn't know what to say, "I only graduated from school in the first half of last year, do you need to be in such a hurry?" β
Ms. Wen was remarkable, "Of course, such an important matter must be calculated in advance, is it possible to wait until you find a partner and then let you separate?" β
Well said, makes sense!
Lin Yao couldn't tell her.
Ms. Wen continued: "The goddess of the hemp car said that you can't find a southerner......
Lin Yao hurriedly interrupted her, "Mom, the whole of Zhejiang is considered southern, right?" Do you want me to find someone from the Northeast? It's too cold there, and it's not convenient to go home for the New Year! β
Ms. Wen paused, and then said unhappily: "Who told you to find the Northeast?" Don't look for anything more south than us. β
Lin Yao was silent, of course she didn't believe the words of the goddess, but Ms. Wen was convinced, what she said would not work.
In that case, why bother arguing with her in vain?
It's a big deal, it's just a blind date for not going on a blind date with southerners in the future......
No, she didn't plan to go on a blind date!
Ms. Wen said: "The goddess also said, you especially can't find Wenzhou people, do you know?" β
Of course Lin Yao has no opinion, she is in Hangzhou, not in Wenzhou, and she doesn't know anyone in Wenzhou, so it's not a problem at all!
In the future, when someone introduces her to a blind date, she can directly refuse, the reason is that "my mother has asked a master to tell my fortune for me, and I can't find someone from Hangzhou/Wenzhou/Taizhou/Quanzhou/Guangzhou......"
How useful this is!
Why didn't she think of it?
What's even better is that when Ms. Wen asks about her love life, she can also say: "Oh, you may not believe it, but the boys I have met recently are all from Wenzhou...... presumably Ms. Wen will not urge her.
Thinking of this, Lin Yao was in a very good mood, and she agreed without thinking, "I know, don't look for Wenzhou people." β
She agreed too cheerfully, and her tone was too normal, without even the slightest hesitation or surprise.
From this, Ms. Wen drew two pieces of information: first, Lin Yao really has no object; Second, she doesn't even have a goal!
This is definitely not good news!
"You really don't have a partner?" Ms. Wen was surprised: "I heard that other people fall in love when they are in college, how can you ......?"
Hehe, that's a bit hard to explain.
Lin Yao didn't want to mention the black history of the year, lest Ms. Wen scream angrily, she decisively shook the pot, "Didn't my mother say it, oppose my early love, let me study hard and make progress every day." β
"Pull it down, you ......" Ms. Wen naturally didn't believe her words, she asked, "You really didn't talk about it?" Or did you talk too much about breaking up? β
Ms. Wen was right.
Lin Yao didn't want to mention Qin Wenyuan's matter, and she didn't want to be investigated by her, "No, no, not once!" β
Ms. Wen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but her tone was not without worry, and she muttered: "If I don't let you look for you, you really won't look for it, are you stupid?" β
If she is disobedientβββ Ms. Wen will be unhappy, and if she is obedientβββ Ms. Wen will think she is stupid. So, what exactly does she have to do to make Ms. Wen satisfied?
Lin Yao didn't know what to say, "Sleep, Mom, I'll go to work tomorrow." β
"You said you're so honest, alas......" Ms. Wen sighed faintly, "What can I do in the future?" β
