"Ah, Xuxu Mom, you bought a lot of vegetables today, are there any guests?"

Xuxu's mother rode a small electric donkey, and when she passed by the rice noodle shop, Aunt Xiuhua, the proprietress of the cheong noodle shop, saw her and asked enthusiastically.

Xuxu's mother braked the little electric donkey, raised her hand and pulled the hair that was messed up by the wind due to cycling behind her ears, and in the sun, Xuxu's mother's hair was mixed with a few silver threads.

"Oh, this is not a festival, what a guest." Xuxu's mother smiled a little tiredly: "It's all Xuxu's father, I got up early this morning, and suddenly I want to eat what kind of pig's feet, I think he looks like pig's feet." No, I bought everything, I simply bought more other vegetables, so as not to have to run to the vegetable market all the time. ”

"Well, it's quite annoying to buy groceries." Aunt Xiuhua empathized, "Me too, I run to the market every day, and I don't know what food to buy every day." ”

After a change of words, Aunt Xiuhua said again: "But now that the weather is hot, don't cook too many dishes, it's not fresh, it's not good for your health." ”

"I know, I'm just a little lazy these days." Xuxu's mother raised her eyebrows and said to the proprietress of the rice noodle shop: "Let's go, I'll go back first." ”

"Hey, wait!"

Aunt Xiuhua rushed out of the store, ran to Xuxu's mother's side, and asked in a low voice, "Hasn't Xuxu come back yet?" ”

"No, I don't."

"Oh, why have you been there for so long, it's been three months, what are you going to do?"

"I'm on a business trip." Xuxu's mother tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "She said that she wanted to open a branch and wanted to investigate, but I don't understand it anyway, so let her go." ”

Xuxu's mother raised her eyes and looked at the people on the street, "What's wrong?" Xiuhua, do you have something to do with my family? ”

"That's right, my husband's family has a cousin's ......"

"Stop, stop." As soon as Aunt Xiuhua's mother heard Aunt Xiuhua's words, she knew what was going on, and Xuxu's mother smiled helplessly: "I can't be her master now." ”

"Also, children now have big ideas." Aunt Xiuhua looked at Xuxu's mother unwillingly, "Otherwise, I'll send you a photo of my nephew first?" ”

"No, no, no." Xuxu's mother waved her hand weakly, "Wen Xu said that he should focus on what career he wants, and if he concentrates on his career, he won't delay your nephew, but thank her Aunt Xiuhua." ”

Looking at the neighbor next door who was riding a small electric donkey and didn't look back, Aunt Xiuhua sighed, "It's a pity." ”

"It's a pity."

It's past the restaurant at this time, and the store is not too busy. The owner of the rice noodle shop shook the rag in his hand, hung it on a piece, and then whispered to his wife: "Wen Xu estimates that something has happened." ”

"What?" Aunt Xiuhua looked at her husband in surprise, "No, don't talk nonsense, if the Wen family listens to this, they can't have a conflict with you." ”

"I'll just tell you the truth." The owner of the rice noodle shop raised his eyebrows with a look on his face that you couldn't see clearly, "Although we haven't known that person for a long time, anyone with eyes can see that it is a mother's treasure." If nothing happens, can you go so long without showing up? It's been three months. ”

"I can't." Aunt Xiuhua still didn't believe her husband's judgment, "That child in the preface doesn't look like a troublemaker, what can happen to her." ”

"Then how do I know that I'm not her father." The owner of the rice noodle shop stirred the rice milk in the bucket, "Don't believe it, don't say anything else, just look at the state of the two of them." When Wen Xu was in Dingcheng before, those two people were so angry, and now look at it, I don't need to say more. ”

"That's right, in the past few months, the two of them have aged a lot." Aunt Xiuhua said: "Mother Xuxu has white hair, but she didn't have it before. ”

"yes, why are these two people so old all of a sudden? That must be sad. Why worry? It's not for money, it's for people. The owner of the cheong noodle shop tilted his head and glanced at the flower shop a few shops away, "Their flower shop and farm are doing well now, and they bought the No. 2 store and the house above it last month, so it's definitely not about worrying about money." ”

"Shhhh

Seeing that his wife agreed with his words, the owner of the rice noodle shop sighed, "Otherwise, how can I say it's a pity." ”

——

Mother Xu didn't know that someone was talking about herself.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to care about these things.

She went upstairs with the groceries she had bought, cleaned up, and was about to remove her apron from the hook.

Just then, there was movement at the door.

Xuxu's mother turned her head to look at Xuxu's father who was changing shoes at the door, "Why did you come back at this point?" Isn't the farm busy? ”

"I'm the boss, why am I always there."

Xuxu's father changed his shoes, walked to Xuxu's mother's side, and took the apron in her hand.

Xuxu's mother said dissatisfiedly: "You person, what's going on now, can you die without thorns?" ”

"I don't want to quarrel with you." Xuxu's father put on an apron, washed his hands, and began to pour the vegetables that Xuxu's mother bought, "You go downstairs to look at the store, you don't need to do anything in the kitchen, it's in the way." ”

Xuxu's mother became angry when she heard this, "Are you the boss, I'm also the boss, why should I pestle downstairs." ”

Look at what Xuxu's father said, it's like Xuxu's mother is a kitchen killer.

But when Xuxu's father usually doesn't come back from the farm, Xuxu's mother is responsible for cooking.

You don't like me, and I don't like you.

The kitchen soon fell silent, except for the occasional sound of water when Order's mother picked and washed vegetables, and the thudding sound when Order's father chopped pig's feet.

The two stopped talking.

An unspeakable silence spread between the two.

It wasn't until lunch was ready that Father Xuxu said, "Go and call someone to eat." ”

"Hmm."

The staff downstairs came up quickly.

However, several employees soon found that neither the boss nor the boss lady looked very happy today.

But this is nothing new, and for the last two or three months, they have been doing it often.

Alas.

Maybe this is a mid-life crisis, it is estimated that the two of them quarreled again.

I really miss the days when the little boss was there, if only the little boss hadn't traveled.

A few employees finished their meals and went downstairs.

Father Xuxu held a glass of liquor in his hand, silent, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Xuxu's mother looked at the liquor in Xuxu's father's hand, and suddenly said, "On the tribute platform, have you poured wine?" ”

"Huh?" Xuxu's father frowned, and looked at Xuxu's mother strangely, "Didn't you let her drink?" ”

"Pour her some."

Xuxu's mother sighed silently, she picked up the chopsticks, but she didn't know which dish to hold for a long time.

In the end, Xuxu's mother still put down the chopsticks, "I don't have much appetite, I'll go lie down for a while." ”
