After get off work, Tong Yan returned to the villa.
"Xiao Yan, you're back."
Tong's mother looked at her daughter, stood up from the sofa and said with a smile.
"Um, Mom, what are you doing?"
Tong Yan nodded, hung up her bag and asked.
"I'm checking Guicheng on my phone."
Tong's mother had already thought of what to say and raised her cell phone.
"Cha Guicheng? Cha Guicheng for what?"
The child's face is a little strange.
"Hey, they are just some old sisters who dance together. They travel with their sons and daughters every year and go to many places... When we dance, they often say which place is good or something like that."
Tong's mother said deliberately.
"After I heard that, I felt envious and wanted to go out for a walk and see the outside world... You said that mom is so old and has never traveled. Her life must be so boring, right?"
"Uh-huh."
Tong Yan nodded.
"Mom, you should go out more often, and you'll feel better."
"Yeah, I stay at home all day, and I feel like I'm going to get sick from being bored! Xiaoyan, aren't you suffering from depression now? I think I'm going to get depressed from being bored, staying at home all day and doubting my life..."
When Tong's mother heard her daughter say this, she was delighted and said.
"Forehead."
Tongyan looked a little strange. Are you sick from being bored? You go out for a stroll and dance all day long. You are almost never idle, okay?
Of course, she only thought about this in her mind but didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
"Xiao Yan, an old sister of mine, went to Guicheng a while ago. She told me that the mountains and rivers in Guicheng are very beautiful. It really is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains, rivers and scenery!"
The child's mother continued to move on.
"I was thinking, should I go to Guicheng to take a look? Now is a good time!"
"Sure. Transportation is so convenient nowadays. I'll buy you a plane ticket online. It will only take a few hours to get you there."
Tong Yan nodded.
"Hey, kid, why are you so unfilial?"
Hearing Tong Yan's words, Tong's mother deliberately frowned and said.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Tong Yan was stunned. Why was she unfilial?
"They all went with their children, but you just sent me away with a plane ticket?"
Tong's mother said somewhat aggrievedly.
"Um, Mom, I'm busy lately, right? If I wasn't, I would definitely go with you."
Tong Yan said hurriedly.
"Busy, busy, busy, you are so busy all day long! What can I do if I go out alone? Aren't you afraid that I will get lost and you will not have me as your mother? Or is that what you think? You don't want me as your mother anymore, so forget it if I get lost!"
Tong's mother said deliberately.
"Mom, how could you think that? I don't think that at all, okay?"
Tong Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt a little strange. Her mother hadn't talked to her like this for a long time. Why did it feel weird?
"I didn't think so, then you can go with me!"
Tong's mother looked at her daughter and said.
"Mom, I've been really busy lately. There's still a lot of things going on at the company!"
Tong Yan smiled bitterly.
"After I'm done with this busy period, I'll take you out for a trip, okay?"
"No, when you're done, I'll get depressed and jump off the building... no, jump off the villa and die."
Tong's mother shook her head.
"Well, if you jump down from this villa, you won't die."
Tong Yan corrected her.
"What? Okay, you damn girl, are you really hoping that I'll fall to my death?"
The child's mother glared at her daughter.
"No, no, Mom, that's not what I meant... How about this, why don't you go ask your sisters if they're going? If they are, you can go together, how about that? That way, you won't get lost, and you won't be bored."
Tong Yan thought for a while and said.
"Everyone has been there, why go again? Besides, it's best to go as a family! Alas, there are only two of us in our family. If you don't go with me, who can go with me? I feel so pitiful!"
As the child's mother spoke, she squeezed out her tears.
"Mom, please don't cry."
Tong Yan was a little anxious.
"It's not that I won't go with you, it's just that the company's new product is at a critical juncture, I..."
"What? This new product won't work without you? Or will the company go bankrupt without you?"
The child’s mother stared.
"Well, it's not that serious, it's just..."
Tong Yan is helpless.
"If it's not that serious, then why don't you care about me? Oh, I raised my daughter for nothing, but you don't care about my life or death. You might as well just jump off the building!"
Tong's mother said this, shook her head, and was about to go upstairs.
"Mom, mom, please don't leave... I don't care about you, how about this, I'll call and ask if I can ask for leave, okay?"
Tong Yan had no choice but to say.
"Okay, okay, then you can call and ask! By the way, my good son-in-law is the vice president of your company, right? You can call him and ask! Otherwise, I will call him!"
Tong's mother was delighted, knowing that she was about to complete the task of being a good son-in-law!
"No, I'll call him."
Tong Yan shook her head and took out her cell phone.
“Yes, yes, you can hit me. My good son-in-law loves me and will definitely agree!”
Tong's mother stopped wiping her tears and said with a smile.
“…”
Tong Yan really couldn't do anything about her mother, so she called Xiao Chen.
"Hey, Xiaoyan."
Soon, Xiao Chen answered the call.
"Brother Chen, I have something I want to ask you."
Tong Yan felt a little embarrassed. She had no idea that this was exactly what Xiao Chen meant. She felt that now was a critical time for the new product and she had to ask for leave, which was too bad!
"Yeah, tell me, what's wrong, Xiaoyan."
"It's like this, my mom wants to go on a trip, and she insisted that I go with her... If I don't go, she'll cry and make a scene and want to jump out of the villa, and I don't know what to do. Brother Chen, can I take a few days off? It doesn't have to be too long, three days, no, four days, I'll be back as soon as possible!"
Tong Yan said in a low voice.
Hearing Tong Yan's words, Xiao Chen on the other side was stunned for a moment, then grinned.
Crying, making a fuss, and jumping around in the villa?
Isn’t this mother-in-law so awesome?
"No, it's so hard to accompany Auntie out, four days is not enough! How about this, I'll give you half a month's leave, you accompany Auntie out for a good walk... By the way, where is Auntie going to go?"
Xiao Chen asked in a pretentious manner.
"She said she was going to Guicheng."
"Oh, Guicheng, that place is really fun. You must calm down and experience the beauty of the place! If you just rush through it, it won't be that interesting!"
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"Just do as I say. I'll give you half a month's vacation so you can have fun outside with your aunt! Besides, you've been tired lately, so just take a vacation and relax."
"Half a month? No, Brother Chen, the new product is at a critical time right now, how can I take a half-month leave? Four or five days will be enough."
Tong Yan said hurriedly.
"Xiao Yan, four or five days is not enough. Listen to me, just half a month! As for the new product, it is already on track. It doesn't matter whether you are here or not! Besides, network communication is so advanced now, even if you are in Guicheng, you can still do things remotely!"
Xiao Chen said to Tong Yan.
"Is that so?"
Tong Yan hesitated.
"Well, if you arrange two people to help you keep an eye on it, there won't be too many problems... As for the filming of the commercial, there will be people from the advertising department watching it, so there will be absolutely no problem! Besides, if you can't trust others, can you trust me? I'm still here, and I'll handle anything that comes up!"
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"Oh, okay."
Tong Yan nodded, hesitated, and asked.
"Brother Chen, you... aren't going?"
"Where to go? Guicheng? I'm not going."
"oh."
Tongyan is a little disappointed.
Xiao Chen could hear Tong Yan's disappointment and said hurriedly, "Xiao Yan, I have something to do recently and can't leave at all... I won't go this time. I'll take you out to play next time. How about it, just the two of us?"
"Really?"
Tong Yan's eyes lit up, her face flushed with anger because of Xiao Chen's 'world of two people', but her heart was full of anticipation.
"Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you?"
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"Oh, okay."
The childish face smiled.
"Xiao Yan, when are you leaving?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Well... the day after tomorrow, I have to go back to the company tomorrow to deal with some things, and then I have to explain a few things."
Tong Yan thought for a while and said.
"Okay, then I'll book your tickets for the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Chen said to Tong Yan.
"No, I can just order it online myself, it's very convenient."
"Haha, let me do it."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"oh."
After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Tong Yan hung up the phone.
"Xiao Yan, how about it, does my good son-in-law agree?"
Tong's mother already knew this, but she still asked deliberately.
"Well, he agreed, and he also said he would give me a half-month vacation so that I can have fun with you."
Tong Yan nodded.
"Really? Haha, he really is worthy of being my good son-in-law. He knows how to love his mother-in-law!"
Although Tong's mother knew that this was something Xiao Chen had planned a long time ago, she was still very happy at the thought of being able to go out and play for half a month.
"Mom, let's leave the day after tomorrow. I have to go back to the company tomorrow."
"OK."
"Then pack your luggage tomorrow and take your daily necessities with you."
"What do you need? I've never been out, so I'm not sure."
The child's mother scratched her head and asked.
After hearing what her mother said, Tong Yan felt a little guilty. She really should take her mother out more often.
"Mom, I'm going to take you out to have some fun this time."
"Yeah, okay."
Tong's mother nodded happily.
"I'll tell them tonight that my daughter is going to take me on a trip."
"hehe."
Tong Yan smiled.
"Go upstairs and have a rest for a while. Mom will go and make you some food."
As Tong's mother said this, she was going to cook.
"Mom, I'll go with you."
Tong Yan also stood up.
"No, no, go and rest! By the way, I heard that we need some strategy when we go out to play, you should also study it and find out how we should play! Don't get lost, that would be bad."
Tong's mother said to her daughter.
After hearing what her mother said, Tong Yan thought about it and nodded.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go up there and look up some information to see what's fun there and make a simple guide."
"Yeah, go ahead!"
