At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yumei went out and bought a few bags of Yuanxiao from the store at the district gate, and prepared to go to her boyfriend's house.
Just after paying the bill, I saw my old neighbor aunt.
"Yumei, would you like to buy some Yuanxiao?" the old neighbor asked with a smile.
Lin Yumei nodded and said sweetly, "Well, hello, Auntie, my mother asked me to buy it."
…
As a result, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Aifang had just walked into the area after buying Yuanxiao from the store when she was discovered by the old neighbor who was exercising downstairs.
The old neighbor was surprised, "Aifang, why are you buying Yuanxiao again?"
Wang Aifang was also surprised, "Sister Zhang, how can this be called buying Yuanxiao again?"
"Your Yumei just bought it at two o'clock in the afternoon."
"This kid didn't even tell me before buying Yuanxiao." Wang Aifang said with a look of blame on her face.
"Didn't you ask her to buy it?" The old neighbor looked at Wang Aifang as if she were an alien.
"No, I was outside all day and I didn't tell her." Wang Aifang was even more confused.
"Maybe she wants to give you a surprise." The old neighbor laughed.
Wang Aifang smiled, guessing that her daughter was going to give her a surprise. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
However, when she returned home, Wang Aifang looked left and right but couldn't find the Yuanxiao that her daughter had bought. Not only were the Yuanxiao nowhere to be found, but she didn't even know where her daughter had gone.
"This kid." Wang Aifang said angrily, sat down on the sofa and paged Lin Yumei.
It was around seven o'clock in the evening when Lin Yumei returned home.
"Where did you go?"
"I came to see a classmate for something."
"Looking for classmates? Giving them Yuanxiao?" Wang Aifang asked with a frown.
Lin Yumei didn't know that her elderly neighbor had seen both her and her daughter buying Yuanxiao. She quickly shook her head and said, "Why give Yuanxiao? I just wanted to ask her about choosing classes for next semester."
"Didn't Aunt Li say you also bought Yuanxiao?" Wang Aifang looked suspicious.
Lin Yumei suddenly understood that her old neighbor Aunt Li had seen both her mother and daughter buying Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings). Otherwise, her mother would definitely not have said that.
"Oh, yes, I bought it." Lin Yumei said with a turn of her eyes.
"What about Lantern Festival?"
"I cooked and ate it myself when I was hungry."
"You kid." Wang Aifang said with a face full of "blame", "I told you to eat more at noon, so you wouldn't be hungry so early in the afternoon."
"Am I afraid of gaining weight?" Lin Yumei took her mother's hand and started to act coquettishly.
"Are you still hungry now?" Wang Aifang prepared to get up and cook Yuanxiao for her daughter.
"It's okay now. I'll cook it when Dad comes back." Lin Yumei said.
"Then give him a call and ask him to come back quickly. If he comes back after eight o'clock, he won't get any Lantern Festival." Wang Aifang was very dissatisfied with the reality that her daughter and husband, one came back at seven o'clock and the other had not come back yet.
"Okay, I'll give him a call." Lin Yumei said as she picked up the phone.
…
Yuan Fangguo sent Lin Yumei to the district gate. Just as he returned home, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.
He thought it was his girlfriend calling, so he quickly picked up the phone without even checking the caller ID. But when he heard the voice, it turned out to be Zhang Nan.
"Secretary Zhang..." When Yuan Fangguo called out these three words, he felt his scalp tingling.
"Fang Guo, did you just get home?" Zhang Nan asked.
Yuan Fangguo suddenly understood that since Zhang Nan said so, she must know something.
"Yes, I just got home."
"My mother asked you to come over and eat Yuanxiao together. Today is the Lantern Festival." Although Zhang's mother often nagged Yuan Fangguo throughout the Spring Festival, and Zhang Nan felt a little embarrassed, she felt very calm when she said this today. After all, the Lantern Festival is also a traditional festival. As a senior sister of Yuan Fangguo, it is understandable for her to ask him to come home to eat Yuanxiao.
Yuan Fangguo was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly told Zhang Nan that he had something to go out for later.
"Okay, then come over and visit me some other time when you're free." Zhang Nan said, then hung up the phone with a smile on her face. She turned to her mother, who had been staring at her intently, and said, "Mom. He has something to go out for later, so he can't come."
"What are you doing out here so late at night?" Zhang's mother asked with a frown.
"They also have their own circle. I guess they go out with friends to enjoy the lanterns." Zhang Nan said calmly.
Mother Zhang thought for a moment and said kindly, "Nannan, how about this? Send some to him. These are made by your father and me."
"I don't even know where he lives." Zhang Nan said with a wry smile.
"I say you are stupid, and you really are stupid. If you don't know, just call and ask." Zhang's mother said with a look of "blame".
"I……"
"Call quickly. If you call later, the person might not be at home." Mother Zhang said as she picked up the phone for Zhang Nan.
In desperation, Zhang Nan could only make another call.
Yuan Fangguo looked carefully this time. When he saw that it was a call from Zhang Nan's home, he hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the phone.
"Fang Guo, you haven't left yet, right?"
"Not yet, just pack up and get ready to leave."
"Then wait a moment, I'll bring you a bag of Yuanxiao. They're all made by my parents, and they taste really good."
"No need to trouble you, Secretary Zhang." Yuan Fangguo said politely.
Before Zhang Nan could say anything, Zhang's mother said loudly, "Yuan, it's not a big deal at all. You can put it in the refrigerator and eat it when you come back later or in a few days."
Zhang's mother's voice was very loud, and Yuan Fangguo couldn't refuse this time, so he could only thank Zhang's mother for her kindness on the phone.
As soon as Zhang Nan hung up the phone, his mother urged him to go and deliver Yuan Xiaojiao to Yuan Fangguo.
As soon as Zhang Nan left, Zhang's father, who had been sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but take off his glasses and complained, "You old woman, Yuan is still a student. You've made it very embarrassing for both Nan Nan and him. If the school knew about this, how would Nan Nan live in school?"
In the past, Zhang's father's words would have prompted Zhang's mother to reflect on herself. Unexpectedly, this time, Zhang's mother snorted coldly at her husband, "What do you know, old man? You don't know how well-matched Yuan and Nan Nan are."
Father Zhang snorted coldly, "How can someone like you who randomly matches couples know if they're a good match?"
Mother Zhang continued with a cold snort, "I compared their horoscopes, and the fortune teller said they are very compatible."
When Mr. Zhang heard this, his jaw almost dropped in shock.
