He secretly cursed in his heart. Judging from Uncle Zou's secret message, his mother wanted to ask him for something? What could it be? Could it be another blind date party?
Stepping on the steps of the main room, it may have just rained a few days ago, and there are some slippery moss marks on the steps. In my ears, I can hear the rain rolling down the upstairs edge of the room, and the horse dripping on the ground.
There is something poetic and picturesque about the trough.
Huo Shaoyan opened the old door curtain, walked into the main room, and called out to the upright and thin body with his back to him, "Dad, I'm back."
Huo Zhengguo is sitting in the main room, smoking an old-fashioned pipe, and the white smoke comes out in wisps. Although he is nearly sixty-five years old, he still has strong features and a straight body, with only a few white hairs on the temples.
The traces of his age betrayed him. "You know it, he's really promising!" Commander Huo snorted coldly, too lazy to respond.
"Dad," Huo Shaoyan lowered his head and placed his hands on his thighs, waiting for his father's teachings.
"Forget it, forget it. I don't care about you young people's affairs. Your mother is waiting for you in the west wing. Go ahead." Commander Huo waved his hand. Huo Shaoyan said nothing more and left.
All the way through the corridor and across the bridge, in the four-entry courtyard, my mother was usually either in the back garden or in the west wing.
Huo Shaoyan's father Huo Zhengguo is nearly sixty-five this year. There is a fifteen-year age difference between Mrs. Huo and Commander Huo. She ignored the dissuasion of adults and married Huo Zhengguo without hesitation. When Mrs. Huo gave birth to Huo Shaoyan, Commander Huo
Already thirty-five years old, Mrs. Huo's stomach has been silent since then. Therefore, Huo Shaoyan has no brothers or sisters and is the only son in the family.
As the old saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, the worst of which is not having children.
Since Huo Shaoyan is the only son in the family, the matter of inheriting the descendants depends on him alone. Seeing that his son is already thirty years old, there is no attractive girl around him, and he has no plans to get married. How can Mrs. Huo and Commander Huo
The staff's brows turned pale with worry.
In the west wing, Huo Shaoyan pushed the door open and went in. There was a "squeak" sound, but there was no movement in the room.
The CD in the gramophone was spinning, and an old and yellowed beautiful song slowly spread in the air.
"Woman flowers swaying in the mortal world"
"Women's flowers sway gently in the wind"
"I just hope to have a pair of gentle hands"
"It can soothe the loneliness in my heart"
"..."
Huo Shaoyan crossed the threshold and looked up, only to see his mother wearing a purple-red straight-fronted cheongsam with a low slit, slowly dancing to the music. Although she was fifty years old, she was still well-kept, and the low-slit
The cheongsam that was cut up to the knees showed off the slightly concave calves underneath, which were still as fair as before. Even the slightly upward face had only a few inconspicuous wrinkles at the corners of the eyes.
Seemingly hearing the sound of footsteps, Mrs. Huo stopped dancing, opened her eyes and looked at the person.
"Mom," Huo Shaoyan walked over, "Dad, did you say you have something to do with me?"
"When did you come back? Do you think you have forgotten that I am your mother?" Mrs. Huo turned off the music and sat down on the rosewood armchair. Seeing that Huo Shaoyan was still standing like a stupid man, she immediately held her son's hand.
, "Sit down, just be polite to your dad. Why should you be polite to your mom? Do you think I'm a tigress?"
"Mom, I don't dare!" Huo Shaoyan hurriedly shouted that he was wronged and sat down on the red sandalwood armchair beside him.
"Hmph -" Mrs. Huo looked at her son and hummed through her nose, "I don't dare yet. I already have a wife, so I didn't even know to tell my mother, so I hid it by myself."
Mrs. Huo's words were meant to test Huo Shaoyan, but the latter's expression changed and he murmured: "Mom, how can I have a wife!" He frowned deeply and thought through all kinds of speculations in his mind, "Mom,
You must have misunderstood something, right?"
Mrs. Huo patted Huo Shaoyan's hand and said slowly: "Shaoyan, Mom can tell you that the matter between you and the girl from the Liang family is over, and you should keep your mind away from it in the future. Mom has already informed you.
You know, even if you like that girl doll, mom will not allow her to come in. Do you understand this?"
Huo Shaoyan's breathing was a little difficult, but he still laughed at himself: "Mom, haven't you said this a long time ago? Besides, even if your son likes others, they may not like your son!" Huo Shaoyan was half angry.
The words are half true. Liang Muchi doesn't want to marry him, doesn't that mean she looks down on him?
"And -" his eyes dimmed, "there is no possibility for me and her." As early as that moment at the airport, he decided not to look back. Some loves, knowing that they can't continue, are still clinging to each other.
What are you doing? He gave her a chance, and he gave himself a chance. Since she chose herself, he would no longer be reluctant to leave. Some love must be broken off.
"If you think so, of course it's best." Mrs. Huo sighed, and then continued: "But Mom also has to tell you that our family is also a respectable family. Those dirty girls should have less contact with each other.
!" Although her words were spoken gently, Huo Shaoyan could hear a bit of sharpness in them.
"Mom -" he couldn't help shouting, "Don't think that Mom doesn't know what you are doing outside!" Mrs. Huo patted the table and stood up, her face was pulled down, and she looked at the latter seriously and said:
"Shaoyan, Mom doesn't mind if you find a partner by yourself. In Mom's eyes, she doesn't have so many family views. However, the girls who marry into our Huo family must be from clean and decent families. If they are divorced
, Mom will never let her in if her private life is inappropriate."
"Uncle Huo has already told me, and Mom has also checked it out privately."
"Do you know the past of that girl? Although she used to be the daughter of the Su family, her husband has divorced her. She has had children and had an abortion. If she comes from a clean girl's family,
Mom agreed to it today without saying a word."
"Mom!" Huo Shaoyan interrupted her hurriedly, feeling dumbfounded in his heart. How could his mother see that he and Su Mozheng were a couple? He had helped her and had a good impression of her, but this good impression had not yet developed into love.
