Santana passed the main entrance of Xiangya Hospital, drove about 150 meters ahead, and pulled over.

Li Long took a puff of cigarette, puffed out a smoke ring, pointed to the two-story building across the road, and said, "This is it." ”

The two-storey building has a very new structure, with porcelain tiles on the façade, and a small section of it is still a very popular mosaic in those days, with a separate courtyard. Through the crack in the iron gate, you can also see that there are several vegetable patches planted inside.

Li Meng took a closer look and asked, "This house is good, it has a single house, it should cost a lot of money, right?" ”

Li Long replied: "I inquired with the original landlord and sold it for more than 30,000 yuan." ”

Li Meng doesn't know much about the real estate market in Changshi, "Is this cheap, or expensive?" ”

Li Long pulled his right hand, "Of course, this location is cheap, but the original landlord is short of money and urgent." At that time, the buyer was not Lu An, nor Qingchi, but someone else, and it was later transferred to Lu An. ”

Li Meng asked: "The property is now in Xiao An's name?" ”

Li Long nodded.

Hearing this, Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. I'm afraid that the name of the eldest daughter is written on the real estate certificate, so she can't imagine what the next situation will be?

After pondering for a while, Li Meng, who had sorted out his thoughts, opened the car door and walked down.

Seeing this, Li Long also got out of the car.

Crossing the road, Li Meng first circled around the two-story building, and then planned to call the door.

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

"Woohoo! Woohoo! ”

After a few knocks, the door didn't open, but Xiaobai began to yell through the door.

Hearing the dog barking outside, Meng Qingchi, who was reading a newspaper on the sofa on the second floor, got up and went to the corridor outside to check the situation.

Li Long, who was sharp-eyed in the back, noticed the movement on the second floor for the first time, and raised his head and shouted: "Qingchi, open the door, your mother and I have come to see you." ”

Uncle?

Mother?

Meng Qingchi's eyes first fell on her uncle, and then she looked at her mother in the air, and in just a moment, she almost guessed why her mother and uncle came to find her today?

The reason is simple, there are threefold:

One is that my mother came all the way from Baoqing to Changshi, and she didn't notify herself in advance?

There is something unusual here.

The second is that the house is still in a state of secrecy, but my mother and uncle suddenly came to the door, which means that it was exposed.

With my mother's temper and my uncle's energy in Changshi, it is hardly a task to find out the ins and outs of this property.

The third is that she and Xiao An talked on the phone not long ago, and the three paintings were a great success at the auction last night, and the astronomical figure of 9.02 million must have inspired the two elders.

As for why they found here?

Why do you come to the door without saying hello?

Meng Qingchi's heart is like a mirror, because of his uncle, because of the house and the car, because of Xiao An.

Go downstairs, stop Xiaobai's yelling, and open the door.

"Mom, uncle, have you had breakfast?" Meng Qingchi asked.

Li Meng didn't rush into the door, but looked her eldest daughter up and down for a while before saying, "I ate it, I ate xiaolongbao on the way." ”

After the two of them came in, Meng Qingchi closed the iron door again and said to the two: "I don't live much on the first floor, let's go to the second floor." ”

Li Meng looked around in the yard and saw 4 vegetable patches, as well as the brand-new Audi in his brother's mouth.

Seeing his eldest niece quietly staring at him, Li Long smiled awkwardly, and then silently told her with his lips: Mother is angry.

A sentence without a beginning or an end, but Meng Qingchi understood it, her uncle was reminding her that her mother came here specifically for Xiao An, and she might have gotten up early to come over according to the time, no matter what kind of relationship she has with Xiao An, don't admit it.

Meng Qingchi nodded imperceptibly.

In fact, her relationship with Xiao An is quite innocent now, and there is nothing to hide, but she knows that many things cannot be said directly at the moment, and it takes time to buffer.

Because her commitment period has not yet arrived, there are still more than three years before Xiao An graduates, and it is not time to consider whether she has a relationship with Xiao An.

Three years is not long, it is not short, and if you don't get it right, there will be changes in the middle, so it's too early to put some things on the surface.

Li Meng went up to the second floor.

Li Long didn't go up, he didn't want to get involved in the private affairs of the mother and daughter as a last resort, so he chose to sit on the rattan chair under the grape trellis and wait, if there was a fight, he could go up in time to persuade the fight and extinguish the fire.

Wading through the corridor and entering the living room on the second floor, Li Meng was attracted by the painting on the wall at a glance, came to observe for a while, and asked, "This is painted by Xiao An?" ”

With a sentence of "Xiao An's painting", Meng Qingchi confirmed all his guesses, poured a glass of warm boiled water and replied: "No, it was sent to him by his master." ”

Li Meng asked, "Who is his master?" ”

"Guan Shan X." Saying that, Meng Qingchi told the other party in detail about Guan Lao.

Li Meng reacted a little, Xiao An didn't come to Baoqing to pay New Year's greetings at the beginning of this year, and the eldest daughter said at the time that Xiao An went to Yangcheng to learn art, and this is what happened:

Ask: "So, this painting is worth a lot?" ”

Meng Qingchi said with certainty: "This painting is called "Green Pine", which comes from Guan Lao's handwriting, and is naturally valuable. ”

Li Meng took the water and drank half a cup, then put it down. Then he walked around the rooms on the second floor and found two bedrooms, one of which had a bed covered with cloth to keep out the dust.

She stood in front of the bed and asked, "This bedroom belongs to Xiao An?" ”

Seeing that his mother was tempting, Meng Qingchi didn't shy away from it, "Yes." ”

After several temptations, her daughter didn't shy away from it, Li Meng suddenly turned around and stared at her daughter's eyes and asked, "How often does he come over?" ”

Looking at each other, Meng Qingchi was quite calm: "I stayed here for a few nights during the Spring Festival, he taught me to practice driving, and then left." ”

Hearing this, Li Menghao wanted to ask, "When Xiao An came to Changshi, was our family still in Changshi at that time?" ”

But when the words came to her lips and she swallowed them back, she couldn't ask such a sharp question for a while.

Back in the living room, Li Meng picked up the newspaper on the sofa and looked down to browse: "The three paintings were sold for 9 million, did he call you to report the good news?" ”

Meng Qingchi sat on the side of the sofa alone: "It's reported." ”

Li Meng immediately put down the newspaper and said very dissatisfied: "Such a big thing, this kid didn't even tell me, is this treating me as an outsider?" ”

Meng Qingchi smiled, "I should have told my eldest brother last night, otherwise you wouldn't have come over early this morning." ”

Seeing her daughter talking generously about Xiao An, Li Meng was a little skeptical that she was really thinking too much?

After hesitating for a while, she still decided to get straight to the point: "Qingchi, Mom hasn't slept well recently, and I always want to ask you, did Xiao An buy this house and the Audi car below for you?" ”

Meng Qingchi nodded and shook his head: "Xiao An will talk to me on the phone every month, talk about everything, once he asked me how the accommodation environment is, I casually said that the hospital accommodation building is a little noisy, not very good sleep, I didn't expect him to listen, please someone buy this house." ”

In fact, she realized that it was true that Xiao An bought this house to improve her living conditions, but at the same time, she was also cautious.

But it was too late.

Since you have moved in, it is not good to move out again, otherwise it will be easy to do the opposite. What's more, she didn't want to hurt Xiao An's heart too much.

The daughter followed herself, slept lightly, and was easy to wake up when there was something outside, Li Meng didn't doubt this, and asked: "What about the car?" ”

Meng Qingchi said: "I don't know the car, I didn't discuss it with me before I bought it, I asked afterwards, he said that he saw someone else driving this kind of car in Shanghai, he liked it at a glance, so he also bought a good time." ”

The house she told the truth, and the car was all a lie.

Well, it can't be considered a lie, because Meng Qingchi never asked Lu An about why he bought an Audi car.

After asking about the car and the house, Li Meng roughly made a judgment, and suddenly lost his previous nervousness.

But when it comes to the matter of the two daughters, she doesn't dare to pretend to be confused as a mother at this time, otherwise the two sisters may fall out in the future and affect the unity of the family.

She pondered for a moment, and then asked first, in an extremely gentle and tactful way:

"Qingchi, you are not young, recently a friend mentioned you to me, saying that you are very kind of her son, and the other party's family conditions are good, do you want to consider it?"

Because the eldest daughter is very good, this kind of thing happens every year, and there are a lot of them, Li Meng has never told her in the past, and she doesn't really say it today, because she knows her daughter's temperament, and she is very disgusted with this arrangement, just to see how her daughter will react?

Some words can be understood as soon as you hear them, Meng Qingchi refused very decisively, "Mom, I haven't considered personal matters for the time being, let's talk about it later." ”

I haven't thought about it for the time being, are you waiting for Xiao An?

Or didn't you think about Xiao An?

Li Meng was stunned by himself.

She asked, "After August, you will be 26 this year, after this?" How long will it take? ”

My mother's tone was quite good, and Meng Qingchi also chose a gentle way: "Wait until I finish my Ph.D." ”

This answer was expected, Li Meng didn't find anything wrong, so he simply said straightforwardly: "Last month, your uncle went to the hospital accommodation building to look for you, but he didn't find you, and accidentally found you practicing driving, and later found out that you live here."

When my mother first learned the news, she was so anxious that she didn't think about it, for fear that you would fall into the trap of your children's private affairs and go astray.

Later, I forced your uncle to investigate, it turned out to be a false alarm, it turned out that the car and the house were bought by Xiao An, and I was suddenly disheartened. ”

The reason why she talked about so much was to help her younger brother Li Long exonerate, so that her eldest daughter would not have resentment towards her younger brother.

At this point, she began to complain, "You said that you didn't talk to your family about such a big matter, and you didn't talk to me, really, really. Hey."

Meng Qingchi poured himself a glass of warm boiled water, took a sip, and said softly: "I don't want Qing Shui to misunderstand." ”

This sentence sounds like a literal meaning, simple, clear, and expresses a position.

But it's scary to look closely, what is there to misunderstand between the two sisters? What kind of things can be misunderstood?

A sentence of no more than 10 words, Meng Qingchi has given a preventive shot for the situation that may occur in the future.

After all, she promised Xiao An that if the conditions were triggered, they wouldn't count, and she would really think about the possibility of the two of them at that time.

If the condition is not triggered, it is the best, and it is also what she is most willing to see, then the answer to this question is simply literal.

The eldest daughter's words, Li Meng seemed to understand for a while, as if she didn't understand, in the fog, she always felt that there was something strange in it, but time didn't make her think about it much, and then the landline phone on the coffee table rang suddenly.
