After sending Qingting to her doorstep.
Wei Lai looked back at her walking into the house through the car window and began to ask Wei Zikang.
"Dad, Mom won't take it seriously, will she?"
"Of course, what else do you think?"
"Why don't you persuade your mother?"
Wei Lai covered his head and felt a severe headache.
He had a premonition, but he still held on to a little bit of hope, after all, his mother was an adult.
But now even this little bit of luck is gone. Mom must have been spoiled by Dad. She dares to think of anything.
The car was driving very slowly, but it was only a few steps away after all.
Soon, we arrived at the doorstep.
Even though he was reluctant, Wei Lai had to get out of the car and drag his suitcase to face his mother.
I opened the door and heard the sound of the range hood coming from the kitchen.
While changing his shoes, Wei Lai shouted tentatively.
"Mom, I'm back."
The next second, the sound of slippers coming from the kitchen was heard.
"Wei Lai, you're back! How are you getting along with Xiao Ting at school?"
The mother in front of me had a rosy face, and she was holding the shovel in her hand, forgetting to put it down, with excitement shining in her eyes.
"Haha, that's it."
Wei Lai smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say at this moment.
Xu Xiang didn't care about that. As soon as Wei Lai changed his slippers, she immediately pulled him back to the kitchen.
Wei Zikang, who came in later, became a complete background figure.
After arriving in the kitchen, Xu Xiang stuffed a basket of potatoes into Wei Lai's hand and continued to look at the soup he was cooking.
Then he pretended to ask casually:
"Wei Lai, do you like Xiao Ting?"
“…”
Your previous expression has already betrayed your thoughts, so there is no need for you to pretend like this.
Wei Lai was speechless. He felt that no matter how he answered, it would be wrong. He could only pretend that he was washing potatoes and didn't hear anything.
"If you don't say it, you agree." Xu Xiang began to talk to herself, "Come to think of it, you grew up together and often played together. It's impossible for you to say you don't like me."
"Actually, I should have known that. You met before you went to kindergarten together."
This sentence instantly piqued Wei Lai's interest.
"We met before kindergarten, how come I didn't know about it?"
"You were still young at that time, of course you don't remember it."
"Then tell me about it."
"Probably when you were about three years old."
After washing the potatoes, while Wei Lai was peeling them, Xu Xiang began to describe the scenes of that year.
That was the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before he went to kindergarten.
At that time, the Yue Lao Temple on the mountain next to Xiaohe Town had not been demolished yet.
Xu Xiang was confessed to by Wei Zikang in front of the Yue Lao Temple. After they got married and gave birth to Wei Lai, they were busy with work and taking care of him and had no time to fulfill their vow at the Yue Lao Temple.
That year, the company happened to be on holiday, and Wei Lai was already three years old and could understand and speak some words, so they took him to stroll around the Yue Lao Temple.
Although there weren't as many people going to the market as during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Yue Lao Temple still hung some lanterns every Mid-Autumn Festival.
Some men and women or young couples come here together to enjoy the moon, or bring their children to play.
Originally, Xu Xiang was holding Wei Lai and strolling with Wei Zikang, admiring the moon and buying some mooncakes made by the elderly people nearby.
It was the first time for Wei Lai to go out to such a place. Everything he saw seemed new to him. He looked around with his pair of black eyes.
I was so curious that I asked Xu Xiang to put him down and walk away.
As soon as he was put down, the man disappeared in the blink of an eye while the two of them were buying mooncakes.
The two people who had just become parents had no mood to wander around anymore, so they started looking for someone everywhere.
"Then what?"
When Wei Lai heard his mother talk about this past event, he had no recollection of it at all, and he became even more curious.
"Then it wasn't us who found you, it was you who found us, holding a little girl your own age."
Xu Xiang's face was full of nostalgia. "At that time, you said you were hungry and asked me for food, so I gave you one of the mooncakes I bought."
"After you got the mooncake, you gave half to the little girl. Then she said thank you and left."
"We didn't think too much about it at the time. We were lucky to find you."
"Later, when you brought Xiaoting home from kindergarten, I thought you recognized each other."
It would be strange if he recognized me. He didn't remember anything like that at all. Besides, it was Xiaoting herself who said she wanted to visit his house.
Wei Lai complained silently in his heart and put the peeled potatoes on the chopping board. "Cut into pieces or slices."
"Cut it into pieces and put it in the pot later. Save it for you to eat tomorrow."
"By the way, since you like Xiaoting, have you confessed to her?"
After talking about the past, Xu Xiang immediately brought the topic back.
Wei Lai wanted to continue pretending not to hear.
Finally, Xu Xiang walked behind him, touched his head, and said:
"Son, if you like someone, you should be brave enough to say it out loud. Otherwise, if Xiaoting is snatched away by someone else, you will regret it."
"I know, I'll tell you. You don't have to worry about that."
Wei Lai pouted. What a foolish mother was. She always treated him like a child.
In two years he will be an adult, eighteen years old, and a legal adult.
"Okay, I'll go find Xiaoting's mother tomorrow and ask for her opinion."
"Let's pick a good day, and our two families will have a good meal together to settle the matter."
"mom!"
Wei Lai really couldn't hold it in any longer.
If he continued to let his mother act recklessly, he could already imagine that when An Baoer and Qing Qishu came over, they would definitely make him say that he liked Xiaoting in front of them and Xiaoting.
