In this era without mobile phones and without the convenience of making phone calls, everything in the future seems to be a surprise.
Until now, Lin Qingping is still not used to such a life.
For example, if possible, she would like to contact Gu Juncheng by phone and ask him if he would go home this weekend.
However, we can only look forward to the unknown.
However, she also felt that such anticipation had its own unique charm, creating a more lasting charm in the unpredictable thoughts.
On Friday, she began to prepare for Gu Juncheng's return.
The house next door that she bought had flowers planted in the yard, and the original owner gave her the flowers as well.
The flowers are in full bloom now, so she moved a few bonsai into the house. The breath of spring and summer instantly rushed in, and the house was filled with the joy and liveliness of this season.
She only had classes in the morning on Saturday, so she went to the store first.
If Gu Juncheng came back and found that she was not at home, he would naturally come to the store. However, he did not show up until the afternoon. It seemed that he was busy this week.
Lin Qingping picked up Zhiyuan and Xiaomai after school and brought them to the store. After dinner and closing the store, they all went home together.
However, what she never expected was that she did not wait for Gu Juncheng to come home, but instead waited for an uninvited guest.
When the three adults and two children were returning home, they passed by that row of two-story houses. Suddenly, a voice came from a neighbor's yard, "Look, isn't that Lin Qingping coming back?"
Lin Qingping looked inside in surprise and found her mother and brother sitting in someone else's yard!
Her mother was also delighted to see her and said to the neighbor, "My daughter is back, thank you!"
After saying that, she ran over and waved at Lin Qingping, "Pingzi! Pingzi! Mom misses you so much!"
Lin Qingping: ???
She absolutely believed that what her mother said was true, and that her mother really missed her. However, being missed by her mother was not a good thing.
The neighbor was very polite and sent her mother and brother out. She smiled and said to Lin Qingping, "It's not easy for the old lady to come all the way to see you. She refused to eat with you and insisted on waiting for you to come back. She also gave us a bag of local specialties. Thank you!"
Lin Qingping thought, is the sun rising from the west? Her mother is so generous? Is she willing to give local specialties to people?
At a glance, I saw a bulging bag of things, which looked like either potatoes or sweet potatoes.
In front of outsiders, Lin Qingping really couldn't afford to lose face, so she had to thank her neighbor, and then watched her mother happily take her brother into her yard.
Lin Qingping did not open the door. She asked Gu Youlian to take Sister Zhao and the two children to the next door. She stood in her yard and asked her mother, "What are you doing here?"
"Of course I came to see you!" Her mother smiled, as if nothing had happened between them. "You and your second sister have made it big, and I'm happy for you. There's nothing at home to bring you, and you liked eating roasted sweet potatoes when you were a child, so I brought you two big bags! Jiagui carried them all the way here, and his shoulders are red! When I was at home, I told him that he couldn't carry so much, and asked him to carry less, but he said no, saying that he hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and he wanted to bring more delicious food to his sister..."
Her mother said, pushing her brother, "Jiagui, tell me, you are always very nice at home, but why are you silent in front of your sister?"
After saying this, seeing that her brother didn't respond and even struggled a bit, her mother apologized and said with a smile, "You're shy. You're always thinking about your sister at home."
It would be strange if Lin Qingping believed her!
I wonder what his plan is this time!
"How did you find this place?" Lin Qingping remembered that she had not told her parents her current address.
Her mother said with great joy, "Hey, you can find out by asking at the Capital Railway Station! How can we not find out about my daughter and son-in-law who are so capable and famous? Everyone in the capital knows you!"
Lin Qingping: …
This is really exaggerating!
Her mother thought that the capital was the grocery store at the entrance of the village? After dinner, she sat there and knew all the gossip in the village?
Seeing her daughter's half-smile, Wu Ah Xiu guessed that what she said was not quite right, but she couldn't say that she pretended to visit the Gu family and saw the letter Lin Qingping sent to the Gu family, so she stole the envelope and found the address on the envelope? She took the envelope and asked all the way from the train station, which took a lot of effort!
Lin Qingping nodded, "Let's go eat first."
"Eat...eat? Okay!" Wu Axiu hadn't eaten for the whole day. She cooked some sweet potatoes and eggs to eat on the way and also took care of her son. She was already starving. When she heard about eating, she prepared to go into the house.
Lin Qingping stopped her and said, "There's no food at home, let's go out to a restaurant." This was the truth. They were having dinner at the restaurant today, and there was indeed no food at home at this time.
Wu Ah Xiu was delighted when she heard this. She had come all the way here, and her daughter invited her to a restaurant. How polite! She had never eaten in a restaurant before!
"Let's go." Lin Qingping led her and her brother out.
There is a hotel and a restaurant on the corner of this street.
Lin Qingping led them into the restaurant, gave the menu to her mother, and let them order their own dishes.
Her mother gave the menu to her brother again.
Lin Qingping didn't say anything.
Her brother was not good at studying, but he knew how to order dishes. He ordered roast duck, stir-fried lamb with green onions, braised meatballs, pork elbow, and shredded pork with Beijing sauce...
We ordered eight dishes in total, all meat.
The shop owner was honest and even asked how many people were eating there.
Her mother said, "Two, just the two of us. She's already eaten."
Pointing at Lin Qingping and speaking in dialect.
The uncle said that the dishes were too much for two people and they couldn’t finish them all.
Lin Qingping smiled and said, "It's okay, uncle. My mother and brother are here from my hometown. Let them have a taste of the capital's cuisine. If they can't eat it, I'll take it back."
The uncle gave her a thumbs up and praised her for being filial.
Wu Aixiu was proud again, "Of course the children I gave birth to are filial."
Lin Qingping smiled and didn't respond.
As the dishes came up, Wu Aixiu was stunned. Not to mention the people in the village, even the richest families in the county didn't eat meat like this.
He was not polite at all and kept asking Lin Jiagui to eat more, "Eat, your sister is treating you, eat as much as you can!"
Wu Aixiu was not to be outdone and ate with relish, burping all the time.
Although Lin Jiagui was also greedy, he only ate the good food. He didn't want to eat much after he ate so much. However, Wu Aixiu kept putting food into his bowl, "Eat! Eat quickly! It will be a waste if you don't eat."
“Didn’t you say that if you can’t finish it, you can take it back?” Lin Jiagui really couldn’t eat any more.
"You're stupid!" Wu Aixiu whispered, "Won't it be leftovers for tomorrow if we take them back? If we eat them all today, your sister will take us to eat something better tomorrow!"
Lin Jiagui had never been hungry since he was a child. No one in the family could go without food, but he, Lin Jiagui, would never suffer a loss. So he did not listen to his mother and refused to eat even when he was full. Only Wu Aixiu ate until the food reached her throat.
