Bi Yue never expected to meet in such a situation.
Too coincidental, too sudden.
…
An old-fashioned short cotton-padded jacket with small red floral patterns, made by Liu Yafang stitch by stitch many years ago;
Bi Yue had long since abandoned it and nearly threw it away when she moved. The few times she wore it afterwards were only to carry coal and scrape ash from the stove.
Now she put it on again because she didn't want to listen to her mother's endless nagging.
Wearing black pants and red corduroy cotton shoes, Liu Yafang insisted that it was inconvenient for her feet to get cold when wearing leather shoes.
She thought, it's better to just go along with it, there's no need to argue with her mother over such a small matter.
A beige wool scarf about one meter long was wrapped around her neck.
In one hand he held a net bag, and in the other he carried a large bag of pork bones.
Bi Yue looked back with this look.
She, Liang Yinqiu and Chu Yiqing stood in the bustling and noisy crowd, you looked at me, we looked at each other, and from time to time a few women and children would walk by and talk.
Liang Yinqiu frowned slightly, and with complicated eyes she first glanced at Liu Yafang carefully, and then looked at Bi Yue.
There was surprise, astonishment, something like disapproval, and an inexplicable waiting in those eyes.
Wait for Bi Yue to come forward and greet her as the elder first.
Bi Yue saw clearly what Chu Yiqing meant by "those two eyes".
Seeing that she was disdainful at first glance, Bi Yue didn't think much of it and was even very calm. That should be Chu Yiqing's true face, right?
But the second time she looked at Liu Yafang's eyes that seemed to mock and look down on her, Bi Yue's face changed instantly.
There was a fire in my heart that was rushing straight to my brain.
Why do you look down on my mother?
That glance stimulated Bi Yue so much that the daughter's desire to protect her mother by standing in front of her was fully aroused.
Irrationality almost took over, and I almost rushed over and asked, "Who are you glaring at?" and then started a big fight.
It wasn't Chu Yifeng's existence that affected Bi Yue.
It was Liu Yafang again, the mother who always joined in wherever there was fun, who spoke and interrupted Bi Yue's fantasy of rushing over to fight.
Liu Yafang was really observant and she was watching all directions. She was watching the fun all the time when she heard someone say that the leather shoes were out of stock and on sale for 25 yuan a pair.
She thought to herself: Oh my god, that's really nice. Twenty-five, it's a bit expensive, but I should at least buy a pair for my child's father. Don't be like my father-in-law, wearing them on his deathbed. Who would he be wearing them for?
Anyway, my daughter has given the order, so I have to spend money. It doesn’t matter how I spend it, I should dress like a man first so that my father can have some dignity when he goes out.
"Daniel, wait for me here. I'll go take a look over there."
Bi Yue glanced at Liang Yinqiu and Chu Yiqing lightly, frowned and turned back:
"Um?"
Liu Yafang is much shorter than Bi Yue. After she said this, she realized that her daughter's face was so cold, as if it was covered with frost.
Liu Yafang leaned over slightly and glanced behind Bi Yue, quite puzzled:
"What's going on? What are you looking at? Did you run into someone you know?"
"Mom, please keep your voice down and just tell me what you want to do."
Liu Yafang thought to herself: No, I have to spend money. Her daughter looks so impatient, and then she will say she is wasting time.
"Put your things on the ground and wait for me. I'm going to buy some leather shoes. Look carefully, I'm buying them this time, so don't push me!"
After saying that, Liu Yafang jogged quickly and turned back to wave at Bi Yue.
Bi Yue looked at her mother's back, but her attention was all focused on what was behind her. She also knew that the mother and daughter must be looking at her.
Liu Dapeng's mother smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, why else would I say I envy you? No matter how long you live, you still have to be a girl. Having a daughter is different."
Liang Yinqiu glanced at Bi Yue before looking directly at Liu Dapeng's mother. He also nodded with a smile and said softly:
"It's all the same. It's all the same."
"What are you talking about? You're all busy, and I don't have a daughter. I can't even find someone to go shopping with. Look at all the other people, three or five of them, asking this and that. My old Liu and my son can't even point to anything. Unlike you. Yiqing, are you not busy today?"
Chu Yiqing raised his chin slightly, smiled and raised his eyebrows before speaking, looking very heroic, and said in a loud voice:
"Even if I'm busy, I have to accompany my mother. Aunt Liu, what you said is not entirely correct, right? It depends on what kind of daughter you are.
You are lucky to have such a disappointing daughter!
If you have a daughter who can only buy you some meat and bones during the New Year and other festivals, and you can only watch her when you go to the department store, wouldn’t you be worried to death?
Haha, I might have to give her a try!"
Liang Yinqiu pretended to shake Chu Yiqing's hand on her arm without leaving any trace, but in fact she squeezed it.
Bi Yue paused in her steps.
Before she could even catch her breath, her mother almost started a quarrel with someone.
"Hey? Comrade? What are you doing? Are you robbing me?"
Liu Yafang was holding a pair of black men's leather shoes in her hand. She shouted in confusion:
"How did I rob you? Isn't it twenty-five? I've given you enough, eh? You, these ladies saw me giving you money, don't deny it!"
The salesperson glanced up and down at Liu Yafang and was also annoyed. She was quite reasonable:
"Can't you read? The six pairs over here are twenty-five, and the one you have in your hand is eighty-five!"
This made Liu Yafang angry. She was so angry that she didn't tell him earlier. She picked and chose and threw her leather shoes on the counter:
"Give me back the twenty-five, I don't want it..."
Bi Yue struggled to carry two bags in one hand and handed over sixty yuan with the other. She asked Liu Yafang expressionlessly, "Mom, do you like them? Are the shoe sizes correct?"
