After leaving the coffee shop, I gathered my emotions and returned to the ward.
My mother had already packed her carry-on luggage. She didn’t even ask me where I had gone. She just asked me if I had completed the discharge procedures.
I nodded and said it's done, we will leave the hospital now.
My mother had agreed to live with me in the city, so I took her directly back to my current rental place.
But the house here is not big, with only one bedroom and one living room, so I had to temporarily let my mother sleep in the bedroom while I slept in the living room outside.
My mother was reluctant at first and said she couldn't wrong me any more, but after all my attempts to dissuade her, she still agreed.
I told her that I would buy a big house in a while and we would move there then. Living here would only be temporary.
After Liang Jing learned that I had brought my mother back to my place, she insisted on coming here to take a look.
I gave her the address and when she arrived she started complaining to me again.
It is said that this house is too small, and it does not face much sunshine. The floors are high, and my mother must not be used to living there.
After complaining, he directly said that he would buy me a house outside and let my mother and I move in.
When my mother heard this, she quickly stopped Liang Jing from doing this, because for her, buying a house is not like buying cabbage at the vegetable market. You can just buy it if you say it.
But Liang Jing is persistent, which is in line with her character.
Although she hasn't broadcast live for a while, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, so she can still get the money.
But in the end I declined. I knew she had good intentions, but let it go.
Liang Jing finally gave up and took my mother to chat for a while. They had developed a relationship in the past few days.
That night, my mother told me in a serious way that she should give Liang Jing some due consideration, saying that this girl is really good.
He also said that although the girl named An Lan was also very polite, he had never been in contact with her like this before and didn't know what her personality was like.
I have no choice but to tell you that it's my business and you don't have to worry about it. I have my own sense of discretion.
My mother said no more. Of course, I also knew that she was doing it for my own good. Even a fool could see that Liang Jing was good to me.
I was supposed to go to work at the company the next day, but I wanted my mother to get familiar with life in the city, so I had no choice but to spend the day with her at home and also go out to buy some daily necessities.
Around noon, my mother received a call from Liang Jing, saying that Liang Jing wanted to invite my mother to sit with her.
When I heard this, I knew that this must not be Liang Jing's idea, because she couldn't make the decision yet, but it must be An Lan's idea.
My mother had already agreed, so I had no choice but to drive her to the teahouse in Anlan.
Liang Jing even came out to pick her up in person. As soon as she entered the yard, my mother looked around and sighed, "Jing Jing, why is the place where you live so big?"
Liang Jing replied with a smile: "Auntie, this is not my home, this is my company, but I also live here now. I will take you to meet someone later, who is my boss."
My mother immediately glanced at me, and she knew that Liang Jing’s boss was the woman I liked.
I didn't say anything at the time and just walked in.
An Lan was already waiting at the door of the inner courtyard. She seemed to have dressed up specially today and looked particularly beautiful.
After we met, Liang Jing introduced each other and was even more enthusiastic than me.
An Lan smiled and said, "No introduction is needed. Auntie and I know each other. We have met before."
My mother kept staring at An Lan as if looking at her daughter-in-law. After a while, she said with a smile: "Yes, we have met. Are you the girl who came to our house for development last time?"
An Lan nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, Auntie, you also gave me a bag of oranges."
"Yes, I remember."
"Come in quickly, Auntie, we have prepared a meal waiting for you." An Lan said, and invited my mother inside.
In the courtyard inside, there is a round table, which is already filled with many dishes.
After An Lan asked my mother to sit down, he took the initiative to ask my mother: "Auntie, I heard some time ago that you were in poor health and were hospitalized. Are you feeling better now?"
"Well, it's almost done."
My mother looks very happy, she must be very satisfied with An Lan.
But Liang Jing looked a little embarrassed. She was still happy at first, but suddenly she fell silent while eating.
I didn't say much, I just lowered my head and ate.
After dinner, Liang Jing took my mother to wander around the yard. It was really big here, almost as big as two ordinary farmhouses.
There are several large and small courtyards. It is not an exaggeration to call it a park.
An Lan was cleaning the dishes alone. She didn't hire any servants. I knew before that she didn't like having servants.
I immediately went to help clean up, but there was still no communication between us.
After I put all the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen for her, I finally asked her: "Is it your idea to call my mother here?"
"No, it was Liang Jing's idea."
She still hasn't told the truth to me. Is it so difficult to admit that she cares about me?
Since she didn't reveal it, I won't reveal it either, so as not to embarrass each other.
I had no choice but to change the topic and asked her: "Your yard is so big, you should actually hire some sanitation people."
"Yes, please." Her answer was still so cold.
"Then why didn't I see it?"
"They come to clean it every few days. Have you finished asking?"
I was immediately embarrassed, touched my nose and said, "Are you that impatient?"
"Don't interfere with me washing the dishes."
"Let me wash it for you."
"Need not."
I sighed softly and had to leave the kitchen, not knowing when we could break the ice.
When we returned to the yard outside, Liang Jing had already returned from a stroll with my mother. The two of them were still holding hands, looking very intimate.
Liang Jing said to me: "Chen Feng, your mother likes it here very much. Why don't you go tell An Lan and let your mother live here in the future!"
"How can this work?" I immediately denied it.
My mother also said, "Yes! Jingjing, that's what I said. I didn't say I wanted to live here."
"Auntie, this place is much more convenient than Chen Feng's place, and the yard is bigger. Didn't you see a useless empty space just now? Didn't you also say that you can get key fruits and vegetables? It's just like your hometown.
"
What Liang Jing said made my heart flutter. It’s a shame that she doesn’t do sales. No, she just sells online!
In fact, I can also see that my mother likes it here. It is certainly much better than my one-bedroom apartment, and living there is not that uncomfortable.
But I think this one is inappropriate, and it will be difficult for them to get along with each other in the future, not to mention that An Lan will probably not agree.
However, at this moment, An Lan's voice suddenly came from behind: "Actually, it's okay. Anyway, there are many rooms here. Auntie, why don't you stay here with me, and we can still eat the pure natural vegetables you cooked."
I was immediately shocked when I heard An Lan's voice. I didn't expect that she would accept it.
I immediately looked back at her, and she came over with a smile on her face and said to my mother very sincerely: "Auntie, just stay."
After saying that, she turned the topic to me again and asked: "Chen Feng, you don't disagree, right?"?
