99. Perform quietly

Father Zhou, I haven't negotiated, and his face looks a little majestic. Mother Zhou, as in the video that day, said to me gently with a smile on her face: "It's Xiaoru, where did you go just now, why didn't you come out?" ”

I replied a little apprehensively: "I went to buy water to drink, it happened to be a little crowded over there, and I came back a little late." ”

Actually, I just looked at the time, I don't know if Zhou Yu remembered the wrong flight time or arrived early, and it was only 12:50 when I came back after buying coffee, otherwise I wouldn't have run to buy tea at that point in time.

Mother Zhou saw my crampedness and comforted me kindly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, it's enough for the three of them to help us carry our luggage." ”

I smiled politely and didn't answer again.

Zhou Yu interjected at the right time: "Okay, don't stand in this luggage area and talk, there is time to talk on the way back." ”

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou glanced at each other, smiled and didn't say anything more.

When the first cadre walked to the parking place outside the airport, the question came, a total of two cars were driven, which car did the second elder sit in? I don't want to be with his parents in my heart, but of course I can't say this, I can't even have a little expression.

Hearing Zhou Yu laughing there, he said, "Queen Mother, you haven't seen me for so long, don't you want me?" My car is so spacious that you can fit five of them. ”

Mother Zhou was coaxed by his sweet mouth, turned to his father and said, "Then it's better for you to take Ah Nian's car, I will go with Xiao Yu's car, anyway, it will be a long journey." ”

Obviously, Zhou's mother's words have a very high status in their family, and Zhou's father walked to Zhou Nian and Zhou Liang's car without saying a word. The car was rented by Zhou Nian and the car rental company after coming over, so it was convenient for him to get in and out.

When Zhou's mother walked towards Zhou Yu's off-road vehicle, Zhou Yu squeezed her eyebrows at me twice and chased after me quickly. I walked away in silence, I could probably figure out what he meant, and deliberately called his mother into our car to sit in order to give me a chance to spend time with his mother.

As everyone knows, I can't show the bitterness in my heart.

Zhou's mother sat in the back seat, out of politeness, I shouldn't have sat in the passenger seat, I thought about it when I sat in the back seat, I didn't deliberately distance myself from her, but also moved closer to her.

I'm going to have to take this step anyway.

The car started slowly, Zhou Yu glanced behind him from the rearview mirror in front, and then took the initiative to open the topic: "Queen Mother, how are you and the old man traveling around the world this time?" ”

Zhou's mother pretended to be angry and reprimanded: "It's not big or small, that's your father, what an old man." The words fell and the words changed: "Don't mention this trip, if your father hadn't insisted on pulling me to go shopping, I would have wanted to come back a long time ago." I'm so tired that I don't say anything, I can't eat well, how can those foreigners' food have our Chinese delicacy. ”

Zhou Yu laughed sullenly: "You are really the Queen Mother, you have to be served by someone at home." People travel around the world to see scenic spots, and you run to eat. It's not me who said, but can you eat something that is old and beautiful? You still think it's good. Go back and let Jia Xiaoru take you to eat the food of our A city, so that you can appreciate and feel the warmth of your hometown. ”

Originally, I was listening to it next to me, but I had to respond when Zhou Yu named me: "Mom, if you have anything you want to eat, just tell me, Zhou Gongjin and I will take you and Dad together." ”

Mother Zhou glanced at me with a light smile, and said to Zhou Yu: "Come on, you, you still need to introduce the food in City A here?" I think you're too lazy to cook and don't want to cook for me and your dad, so you want to induce us to eat out. ”

Zhou Yu hehehe, silly music: "You found out." ”

Mother Zhou suddenly turned her head and asked me, "Xiaoru, do you know how to cook?" ”

I was caught off guard by the question and replied humbly, "A little." ”

"Then I'll try your hand at it tonight."

Subconsciously went to see Zhou Yu, my cooking skills ...... It's hard to put into words, and the wound on the finger is the best example. When he received my message, he shouted strangely: "Don't be the Queen Mother, my hotel has been booked for you." And Jia Xiaoru cut her finger a few days ago, isn't it still wrapped in gauze. ”

Mother Zhou's eyes fell on my fingers when she heard this, and when she saw that she was really wrapped in gauze, she scolded: "Why are you so careless?" ”

I replied, "I was stunned when I was chopping vegetables, and now it's fine." ”

"Who said that?" Zhou Yu vetoed me in front, "Her finger cut unfortunately, and the blood vessel was cut, so the wound is difficult to heal." I saw Mother Zhou purse the corners of her lips, and the smile in her eyes became dull, "Then forget it, let's try your craft again when we have the opportunity another day." Don't go to any restaurant to eat, buy some vegetables on the way for a while, let Ah Liang do it, no matter how bad it is, there will be Xiaoxue here. ”

Zhou Yu saw that his mother insisted on eating at home, so he didn't refute her, and said in agreement: "Okay, you are the Queen Mother, you have the final say." ”

However, this time, Zhou's mother did not show a smile again because of her son's flattering words, and there was always a faint look in her eyebrows, but she also changed the topic, mentioning that since she returned to China for the New Year, the number of etiquette should be indispensable, and it is inevitable to visit relatives and friends.

I didn't know the relatives and friends she talked to Zhou Yu about, and I couldn't interject, so I had to sit silently and listen.

Finally, when passing by the hypermarket, Zhou Yu asked his mother if she wanted to stop by to buy some vegetables now, or get her luggage back and come back, Zhou's mother was disgusted with tossing back and forth, and decided to get out of the car to buy vegetables.

Zhou Yu went to park, and I accompanied Zhou's mother into the hypermarket first.

took the initiative to push the cart over, and heard her ask casually: "How did you and Xiaoyu meet again?" ”

I paused, knowing that I was finally here.

But the scene of my reunion with Zhou Yu is really not very specific.

I had to reply vaguely: "It was a chance." ”

Zhou's mother smiled and walked side by side with me to the store, and before she reached the food area, she suddenly said: "I asked Ah Nian to inquire two days ago." ”

A sigh in her heart, did she mean that she had already asked Zhou Nian to investigate me?

"Xiao Ru, it's not that I want to say anything, Xiao Yu, this kid is frizzy and anxious, and sometimes he struggles to the end, but how ......" She paused, as if looking for the right words: "I won't be able to find a second marriage piece." ”

My brain exploded, and the word "second marriage" pierced my heart like a knife.

The most important thing is that I can't deny that it is true that before Zhou Yu, I got married with other men and only waited for wine. And listening to Zhou's mother's words, she obviously already knows on what occasion Zhou Yu and I met again.

This matter is not difficult to investigate, and even Zhou Nian doesn't need to find any private detectives, as long as he inquires around, he can roughly understand.

At the beginning, Zhou's mother hinted that she did not agree with me being with Zhou Yu because of my family. Her parents divorced at an early age, and then her father died, she may sympathize, but she doesn't want her son to go on with me. Now, I have added another stroke to my black history: there is an ex-husband who was arrested by a female ticket girl, and I am married for the second time.

Zhou Yu's phone came in at this time, and I whispered "sorry" to Zhou's mother before picking up the phone, and Zhou Yu asked on the other end, "Where are you?" I parked the car. ”

After a pause, he whispered, "In the vegetable section." ”

"Wait." Zhou Yu put down the two words and hung up the phone.

I saw that Zhou's mother had already stepped aside to pick vegetables, and hurriedly pushed the cart up, feeling the need to say something before Zhou Yu came, and mustered up the courage to speak: "Mom, I married him for nothing else, I just want to live a good life." Please give me a chance to do it for you. ”

Mother Zhou put down the broccoli in her hand, turned her eyes to look at me, and asked very practically, "What are you going to do?" ”

I choked up when I was asked, I wanted to say this, but I couldn't say what I was going to do. Seeing that I didn't answer, Zhou's mother swept her eyes at my fingers that were still wrapped in gauze, and said with a light smile: "I don't ask much for being a mother, so I hope that my son will be filial and marry a daughter-in-law who will come back so that the family is not so complicated, and she will be virtuous." ”

I silently said that I couldn't do either of the two things she proposed.

In fact, I am afraid of seeing the two elders of the Zhou family, not because I am afraid of them themselves, but because I know that Zhou's mother has a prejudice against me, and now it seems that this prejudice is very deep.

When the atmosphere was stagnant, Zhou Yu ran over, looked into the cart and saw that it was empty, and teased us: "You two are too inky at this speed, you haven't chosen anything after turning for so long." ”

Zhou's mother had a more comfortable smile on her face after her son came, and her tone of voice was no longer dull: "We have chosen, what is the use of you?" Waiting to eat? ”

Zhou Yu shouted: "Hey, my function is not only to eat, I will not help you carry vegetables and surname Li for a while, this is what we men do." Mother Zhou was amused, raised her hand to tap his head, and scolded with a smile: "You kid will be poor." ”

With Zhou Yu here, the atmosphere has come back. He was in charge of teasing his mother, and from time to time he pulled me into the conversation and led me to talk. If it weren't for the brief unpleasant conversation with Zhou's mother before, I might think that Zhou's mother has changed her opinion and attitude towards me.

In fact, it was just me and her performing quietly in front of Zhou Yu.
