Ning Deyan went to the bathroom to clean up without saying a word.

Fangfang ordered a big pot of Buddha jumping over the wall on the Internet, with abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw and other big supplements, and the family gathered around the round table, chatting idly.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was made by Fang Fang and the invited hourly workers, and the hourly workers left first, and Fangfang carefully looked down and smelled the plate of tofu: "Eh, is this dish a little peculiar?" ”

Xia Fanghui has a very smart nose, basically any dish can be eaten if it is spoiled, but sometimes it is too sensitive, and often everyone is still happy to eat it, obviously there is no problem, she said that this dish feels like it is bad, and it is very appetizing to everyone.

Ning Yue looked up in surprise, and Lao Cheng said: "Mom, we usually call that flavor." ”

Fangfang was very arrogant, and Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes: "Huh." ”

The meal took a long time, and Ning Deyan took the opening of the Spring Festival Gala as the background sound of their chat.

A few people chatted and chatted, and somehow talked about the topic of raising pets, in fact, Ning Sui has always liked small animals, especially the plush kind, kittens or something, but she feels that she is actually not very good at taking care of them.

After all, I raised a lot of rabbits, turtles, goldfish, silkworm babies, hamsters, and finally they all left this beautiful world in a peculiar way without exception - the goldfish were eaten by the turtle, the turtle jumped off the building mysteriously and died, and the silkworm baby was unfortunately trampled to death by Fangfang after turning into a butterfly......

All kinds of things are outrageous.

Fangfang is superstitious and says that it is best to raise a dog if you speculate in stocks, because the dog is prosperous, but she is afraid of dogs, so she has not chosen to raise it for a long time.

Ning Yue had always had this intention, and knew that his mother was not very interested, so he turned to lobby his father: "Dad, please!" Let's get a dog! ”

Fang Fang looked at it again and again.

Ning Deyan rubbed his head and said kindly, "Well, isn't this you." ”

Ning Yue: "? ”

—

About the seventh day of junior high school, Comrade Ning Yue continued to take his painting class.

Ning Sui gave Ning Yue a simple answer to his winter vacation homework in the morning, and sent him to class at almost ten o'clock.

When she went out, she realized that she had forgotten to take her mobile phone, thinking that the distance was quite close, and Ning Yue was about to be late, so she didn't go back to get it.

On the way, the sister and brother chatted, and Ning Sui asked, "What are the teachers teaching now?" ”

Ning Yue was obviously not interested, and drooped his head: "Sketching, drawing cubes and cones every day, practicing lines, it's so boring." ”

Ning Sui smiled: "That's how Da Vinci came over." ”

Ning Yuesheng has nothing to love: "I don't want to be Da Vinci, I don't want to be Tchaikovsky, I just want to be an invincible salted fish in the universe." ”

“……”

Ning Sui sighed lightly and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "Bear with me." ”

Ning Yue thought about it, it is true, if he doesn't learn these conventions, he will feel that he is idle and has nothing to do, and it will not be good to suddenly let him learn ancient Egyptian in the future.

Xie Yichen is going to Hong Kong today, Xie Zhenlin and Qiu Ruoyun have passed a few days ago, the company's business needs, to meet the people of the foreign investment bank, Xie Zhenlin asked Xie Yichen to come over, Ning Sui was idle and had nothing to do, and said that he would go to the border in the afternoon to see him off.

Xia Fanghui and Ning Deyan were both at home, and the reason that Ning Sui and Xia Fanghui said before leaving was that Hu Keer was going to see a solo exhibition, and let her accompany her, which might take more than an hour.

Xie Yichen didn't bring anything with him this time, so he simply straightened out a backpack, Ning Sui still didn't dare to have any intimate actions with him in public, for fear of being seen by Huai'an's acquaintances and elders, so he was separated by a distance not close to the exit point.

Before leaving, he hugged her, Xie Yichen touched her head and said, "I'll be back in about two days." ”

Ning Sui tilted his head, his peach blossom eyes lit up slightly: "Okay." ”

"Have you booked a ticket to Beijing?"

Ning Sui shook his head: "No, I'm waiting for you." ”

Xie Yichen smiled: "Okay, then I'll talk about it when I come back." ”

Ning Sui watched him walk inside, slowly passed the security check, and turned around to wave at her.

Ning Sui also smiled and stood on tiptoe and waved.

It wasn't a big difference, but she clearly felt that she couldn't bear it.

It seems to be more and more dependent on him.

Ning Sui stood for a while, raised his hand and looked at the time, it was almost time to go back.

She thought about taking the subway, so she went to the nearby subway station first, Ning Sui was a little absent-minded, and she didn't look at the road seriously.

So when she saw Xia Fanghui, her first reaction was to stand in place stunned.

It took a while to find his voice back, and he was a little nervous: "...... Mother? ”

Xia Fanghui didn't have a smile on her face, looking at her from a distance, this expression reminded Ning Suiqian of when she was in junior high school, and her mother came to the dean's office to pick her up with such an expression.

At that time, Ning Sui was a little contact barrier.

Contact rejection of the same sex is relatively light, but it is more obvious for the opposite sex. As soon as a boy wants to approach her, she feels physically resistant.

There was a boy in the class who probably liked her and wanted to tease her, so he pulled her braids, but Ning Sui resisted in his heart, and he didn't know how to push people away with reflex.

The boy didn't expect her to react, and the corner of his eye suddenly hit the corner of the cabinet next to him, and he was bleeding at that time.

Although the injury was not serious in the back, the way he covered his eyes and howled at that time still scared her, thinking that he had really disabled someone.

Ning Sui remembered that he was very scared at that time.

She was standing in the infirmary, and the boy's parents came, and the mother reprimanded her and took the person away to take her to the hospital. The boy's father stayed behind to wait for Xia Fanghui to come over, and then the dean took her back to the office and told her to wait.

In this process, no one said a word to her, only the teacher, her, and another strange man, Ning Sui's fingertips timidly grasped the corners of his clothes, completely at a loss.

Then Xia Fanghui hurried over in a cargo overalls and skirt.

She heard about the incident from the teaching director, looked at the monitoring records, and indeed didn't pull Ning Sui's braids. Xia Fanghui and the boy's father apologized and discussed compensation.

Then, with that expression, he took her by the hand and left without saying a word.

"Mom......" Ning Sui felt that her and her mother's hands were so cold, she was suspicious for the first time, and asked in a snort, "I...... Isn't there something wrong with your psychology? ”

Xia Fanghui quickly interrupted her: "What nonsense, you have no problem." ”

……

At this time, Xia Fanghui was standing a few meters away, the sun and shade dappled on her, Ning Sui's heart sank, and she was uneasy, but she still moved her steps and walked over: "...... Mother. ”

Xia Fanghui looked at her for a long time and asked, "How long has it been?" ”

Ning Sui knew that she had probably seen Xie Yichen just now, and lowered her head: "More than a month." ”

Xia Fanghui's voice was still very cold: "Why are you lying?" ”

Ning Sui's fingertips curled up, knowing that she should be really angry, because they had reached a consensus early on on about lying, and it was a minefield that was absolutely forbidden.

Her heartbeat became more and more rapid, she held her breath and didn't dare to move rashly, biting her lip.

"I'm sorry, Mom."

Xia Fanghui didn't answer: "If it's not for me to see it now, when are you going to tell me?" ”

Ning Sui opened his mouth: "I ......"

"Did I say that you can't be in a hurry when you fall in love, and if you have a suitable partner, tell me, and I'll help you take a look." Xia Fanghui looked at her, "How long has it been since you lied?" Ning Sui, you really disappointed me. ”

"I'm sorry." Ning Sui could only repeat this.

"I'm going to tell your dad about it." Xia Fanghui ignored her.

She turned around and walked forward, Ning Sui was suffocated in her heart, and chased after her: "...... But I'm just in love. ”

Is it some heinous crime?

She didn't understand.

Maybe it's not right to lie, but she just wants to have her own space, a utopia that won't be disturbed by prying eyes for a while.

"Just in love?" Xia Fanghui's voice raised, "I ran out to meet him every day during the winter vacation, and went to open a house, you see what has become of you?" ”

Ning Sui said: "I didn't open the room, it was just a study room-"

As soon as she wanted to explain, she suddenly reacted: "You looked at my phone? ”

“……”

Then I thought of a deeper layer, maybe it wasn't a chance encounter, Xia Fanghui probably saw the time and place they agreed on, and followed her directly, "How can you peek at my privacy without my permission?!" ”

Even if she suddenly understood what her mother was angry about, it was because she read the chat record of their appointment to meet, and misunderstood it as something else, but Ning Sui still felt very hurt.

She looked at Xia Fanghui with that expression, Xia Fanghui's chest rose and fell, and she was also stimulated: "Yes, I just watched it, what's wrong?" You are the meat that fell from me, I gave birth to you and raised you, what do you have that I can't see?! ”

Near the subway entrance, there are sporadic pedestrians, and hearing the sound of their quarrels will turn their attention to it.

Ning Sui felt that her face was burning hot, angry, humiliated, and aggrieved, but she still tried her best to suppress the surging emotions in her heart and asked, "Can we go back first, don't ...... here?"

Xia Fanghui didn't leave, and said strongly: "Just finish talking to me here." ”

Ning Sui clenched his fists, his feet were like nails stuck to the concrete floor, and his breathing trembled slightly.

In the past, Xia Fanghui would come to pick her up after school, but whenever she came out late, she would scold, and occasionally when she was in a bad mood, she would scold at the school gate, completely ignoring Ning Sui's face and the strange eyes of passers-by. I even bumped into other classmates in my grade.

It's like going back to that moment.

The only difference is that there are not too many people on the road now, but Ning Sui still wants to shrink himself.

However, Xia Fanghui continued to say in a deep voice: "Okay, even if I make a mistake, you are just studying on your own, but do you really understand what kind of person the other party is?" Don't you think it's too hasty to have such a quick and in-depth exchange? ”

Ning Sui raised his head suddenly: "I don't think it's hasty. I've known him for a long time, in high school. ”

"High school?" Xia Fanghui coldly grasped the point, "So you always hold your mobile phone in high school, just chatting with him?" Did he get a bad math grade in his sophomore year of high school, but also because of him? ”

Ning Sui didn't understand how all this was messed up like this.

"It's not!"

"I only met him after his math scores declined, and if he hadn't enlightened me, I wouldn't have done so well in the college entrance examination. His academic performance is also very good, and he won the provincial championship. ”

Ning Sui's fingertips pressed hard into his palm, poking it painfully, he was really wronged, but he still tried to suppress his voice, "And if you want to talk about family conditions, our family is not worthy of him, I don't understand what prejudice you have against him, why are you so angry at me?" ”

The air is stagnant.

Xia Fanghui fell silent.

The two of them confronted each other tensely, and after a while, Xia Fanghui spoke again, her momentum softened a lot: "Is that so?" ”

Ning Sui's lips were tight and straight, and he didn't answer.

Xia Fanghui also seemed to take a deep breath, and her tone softened a lot: "Don't be angry, Xiaoye." ”
