Fang Xiaole was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Yao, then shook his head and said:
"No, Mom, why do you ask?"
Now is not the time to announce their relationship, so Fang Xiaole cannot tell his family about himself and Lin Yao for the time being.
"Alas, Miss Li is hurting me again!"
When Song Yan heard that Fang Xiaole was not in a relationship, she immediately felt disappointed.
Fang Xiaole understood and asked with a smile, "Mom, did Miss Li downstairs ask you to go to which temple to pray for a marriage for me?"
Fang Xiaole's hometown is called Dengcheng, located in the southwest of China. The locals call aunts "Auntie". The Fang family used to live in an old building allocated by his father Fang Guoqing's unit, and they were very familiar with the neighbors.
Song Yan worked in a small state-owned factory. She retired two years ago and has been living an idle retirement life ever since. Fang Xiaole and his sister are not around, so her greatest pleasure is to chat with the aunts and uncles in the yard about family matters.
What this group of retired ladies love to talk about most when they get together is their children, especially their children's love and marriage, which touches their nerves.
Song Yan has a pair of children. She originally thought that she would be able to have grandchildren early, but she didn't expect that her two children are almost 30 years old and have not even had a relationship.
Miss Song often heard that someone's daughter-in-law gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, or someone's daughter married a big boss. Whenever this happened, she would call Fang Xiaole and Fang Shengnan, urging these two useless people to bring her a baby as soon as possible.
But the Fang siblings have been away for several years, and they are still alone every time they return home for the holidays.
Miss Song was extremely anxious, but the two siblings lived far away from each other, and she had no other way to urge them except to make a phone call.
In desperation, they could only place their hopes on the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
It just so happened that Miss Li downstairs believed in this, so Song Yan often asked her which temple nearby had the most powerful Bodhisattva.
It can be said that more than half of Miss Song’s meager retirement salary was donated to various temples around the City of Lights.
"Sister Li told me that there's a Tianchi Temple in Xian City, and the Guanyin deity there is very powerful. I went there to burn a few incense sticks the day before yesterday, and last night I dreamed that you married a very beautiful fairy, and that the fairy gave birth to two grandsons for me!
Sister Li said that this kind of dream means that the Bodhisattva has accepted my incense and is willing to help me fulfill my wish, so I called to ask you. Alas, I didn’t expect that the Bodhisattva in this temple is not helpful!
Fang Xiaole thought that it would make sense if you were worshipping Yue Lao, but you insisted on worshipping Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth.
I'm not even married, how can I have a child?
Fang Xiaole was afraid that his mother would keep nagging, so he changed the subject and said:
"Mom, haven't you moved into the new house yet?"
He gave all the 400,000 yuan that Lin Yao gave him to buy "The Roof" to his parents, so that Song Yan and her father Fang Guoqing could buy a new house.
Having a grandson or granddaughter in arms as soon as possible and living in a new house have always been Miss Song’s two biggest wishes.
Now that we have a new house, all we need is a grandchild.
"That house was just renovated not long ago. I'm worried about formaldehyde, so I have to dry it in the sun for two months before I can move in..."
Song Yan answered, then immediately reacted and cursed into the phone:
"Don't give me that, Fang Xiaole, how long will it take for you to bring me a daughter-in-law?"
Fang Xiaole immediately said to Song Yan, "Mom, I just heard my sister say that her boss is young and promising, and still single."
"Give the phone to Fang Shengnan!"
Song Yan's attention was indeed diverted to Fang Shengnan.
Fang Xiaole handed the phone to Fang Shengnan with a smile: "Mom is looking for you."
"Fang Xiaole, you son of a bitch!" Fang Shengnan glared at Fang Xiaole and took the phone with a bitter face.
Sure enough, Song Yan nagged on the phone for five minutes. Fang Shengnan was miserable, but she didn't dare to hang up her mother's phone, so she could only listen obediently to Miss Song reciting the spell to tighten the headband.
Song Yan finally said she was tired and let Fang Shengnan go. Before hanging up, she said:
"Tell your brother that your cousin is getting married in Linqu on the 10th of next month. Lao Fang and I will be there, and we'll visit Jiangrong while we're there."
"Got it, Mom, you should get some rest early, bye~"
Fang Shengnan agreed obediently, hung up the phone, and let out a long sigh.
Then he yelled at Fang Xiaole, "What nonsense are you talking about to Mom?! How could I possibly have any relationship with my boss? Besides, my boss is going to be introduced to Sister Mo."
"Sister, eat the food. You've worked hard." Fang Xiaole smiled and picked up two pieces of food for his sister with his chopsticks.
"roll!"
Fang Shengnan reached out and hit the guy twice, then calmed down and continued:
"Mom said that my cousin is getting married in Linqu on the 10th of next month, and she and Dad will come by to see you."
Fang Shengnan conveyed her mother's words to Fang Xiaole.
Linqu and Jiangrong are only sixty or seventy kilometers apart, very close.
"Mom and Dad are coming over?" Fang Xiaole nodded. "Okay, I'll take two days off and have some fun with them."
At this moment, the cell phone in Fang Xiaole's pocket vibrated. He took out his cell phone and found that it was Lin Yao who sent him a WeChat message.
Fang Xiaole looked at Lin Yao and saw her nodding calmly. Fang Xiaole lowered his head and continued to look at his phone:
"I have to prepare for a concert in Kyoto on November 10th. What should I do if I can't come?"
Fang Xiaole looked up at Lin Yao. She pouted slightly, feeling unhappy that she couldn't receive Fang Xiaole's parents in person.
Fang Xiaole lowered his head and sent a WeChat message:
"It doesn't matter. I'll take you to my hometown when I have the chance, and you'll be able to see them then."
Lin Yao, who was sitting opposite Fang Xiaole, quickly received the WeChat message. She buried her head in her phone, raised her eyes slightly to look at Fang Xiaole, then glanced at Fang Shengnan sitting next to her, and quietly typed a reply:
"I want to go during the Spring Festival, is that okay?"
Fang Xiaole looked up at Lin Yao in surprise. The girl's smile was gentle, with a bit of shyness and charm.
"Aren't you going home for the Spring Festival?" Fang Xiaole asked in a WeChat message.
Lin Yao's expression was slightly gloomy, and she typed a reply: "I rarely go home during the Spring Festival."
Fang Xiaole was silent for a moment. He remembered that Mo Yan said that Lin Yao had a bad relationship with her parents, but he didn't expect that it had come to the point where Lin Yao didn't even go home for the Spring Festival.
Could it be that Lin Yao has spent the Spring Festival alone in Kyoto for the past two years?
How did she spend New Year's Eve alone when families were reunited and having fun?
Fang Xiaole looked at Lin Yao. The girl lowered her eyes slightly and looked confused. Feeling his gaze, Lin Yao raised her head and gave him a gentle smile.
A surge of warmth surged in Fang Xiaole's heart, rushing upstream into his head. He quickly edited a WeChat message and sent it:
"From now on, I will be with you every Spring Festival."
The next second, this sentence appeared in Lin Yao's WeChat.
She was stunned for a moment, the sadness in her beautiful eyes gradually dissipated, a warm arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she pressed her finger on the phone and replied:
"Okay, thank you."
"What are you two doing?"
Suddenly, Fang Shengnan looked at Fang Xiaole and Lin Yao and asked in confusion.
