"The rice cooker... I went to the teacher's house, and I'm eating at her house again today..."
"The rice cooker has been carried over...?!"
Zou Wanrou is in her forties, but she doesn't understand what it means to hold a rice cooker while going to dinner.
"Where does your teacher live?"
"very close……"
Seeing his mother's sharp eyes, Lin Lu had no choice but to say honestly: "It's just next door to us."
"That's pretty close...next door?!"
Zou Wanrou almost didn't turn the corner again. She was stunned for a while and said in surprise: "The new girl who lives next door to our house?"
"Yes, you even praised her for her sweet mouth."
"...because you have a sweet mouth, and then you find someone to be your tutor?"
Lin Lu nodded.
Lin Lu put on his shoes again and went down with his mother.
Fortunately, it was not too late now. Ten o'clock in the evening was the bustling time in the city. Zou Wanrou simply drove Lin Lu to the mall together and bought two boxes of cherries, a box of Anmuxi yogurt, and two
Dragon fruit, a bag of apples.
The old mother glanced at him and warned: "I don't care about the little things. You can usually have meals with other teachers and take tutoring, but now you are in a critical moment. Everything is focused on the college entrance examination. Don't have any thoughts. You know
have no idea."
"What does she do?"
"Li Xingruo."
She stood up, opened the refrigerator, and rummaged through the contents, but there was nothing she could find that she was satisfied with.
"I don't want it. When my mother heard that you were tutoring me, she specially dragged me down to buy it for you. If I took it, she would kill me." Lin Lu shook his head quickly.
"Graduated from Su University?"
Just as she put down the hair dryer and rubbed her wrists, the doorbell rang, startling her.
Li Xingruo had just taken a shower and was drying his hair in the living room.
Zou Wanrou felt relieved. She still understood her son well. She knew what should be done and what should not be done since he was a child. This was also her most stringent requirement for Lin Lu. On top of this standard, she also gave him a lot of
Large free space.
"Okay, see you next time."
"Remember, remember! Good evening, auntie."
That’s what happened!
After understanding the cause and effect, Li Xingruo finally relaxed.
She put on her cotton slippers and trotted to the door. Her delicate little face lay in the peephole and looked out——
The door lock turned slightly, and the door opened a crack. From the crack, the little girl's pretty face appeared, and a soft smile appeared on Zou Wanrou's face outside the door.
After all, I just moved here and I don’t know anyone around except Lin Lu. Who would ring the doorbell so late...
After just looking at it for a second, her little heart began to beat wildly.
"The craftsmanship is pretty good. Did the girl do it herself?"
Woo...
Zou Wanrou took out her mobile phone and checked the map, and Lin Lu also changed into the shoes he was wearing.
"Your mother is pretty good..."
"These fruits of yours, even if you don't eat them even if you are told to eat them, they will go bad even if you put them in the refrigerator."
"twenty two."
"Good evening, I am Lin Lu's mother. I heard from Xiaolu that you are helping Xingruo with his studies. I just wanted to thank you. Auntie came over in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. You can take these fruits.
Go back and eat."
"Mom, what are you looking for?"
"knew."
Lin Lu nodded.
Li Xingruo watched her leave. It wasn't until the figure went downstairs that he looked at Lin Lu in front of him.
When the doorbell rang for the second time, Li Xingruo took a few deep breaths and decided to open the door to see what was going on...
"It's okay, it's okay! I've disturbed your rest so late. I have to go back. I'm going to leave first. Xiaolu, please remember to go to bed early."
"Twenty-two, twenty-two..."
Lin Lu didn't know what his mother was thinking. Seeing that her attitude seemed to have softened, he was probably angry that he didn't tell her anything, so he took out his phone to show her the photos of the dinner he took as if he was taking credit.
The old mother blinked her eyes and muttered silently for a while.
"Then let me go down with you."
Zou Wanrou took her mobile phone and keys, opened the door and went out: "I'll go downstairs to buy something. You can deliver it to the girl with me later."
"Yes, my cooking skills are very good!"
Li Xingruo saw clearly that the person in front of the door was Lin Lu's mother. Lin Lu stood behind her, looking like a parent bringing his son to the door to ask for an explanation.
"Don't just shamelessly eat other people's food. Isn't it a shame..."
…
Zou Wanrou stood in front of Lin Lu, took what he was carrying, and rang the doorbell.
"How embarrassing..."
"That's definitely not because she talks sweetly. Sister Xingruo is a top student majoring in literature at Soochow University, and her high school scores are usually among the top ten in the school."
"He's not hungry. He has a poor foundation on the path. It's not easy to take tutoring. Xing Ruo will have to trouble you a lot."
"You're welcome, auntie! These are all things that should be done. Auntie, take them back and give them to Lin Lu to eat..."
"Nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Hello Xingruo, remember auntie, you said hello to me that day!" Zou Wanrou said with a smile.
"Is it from Liangxi?"
"It's pretty good."
Click——
Zou Wanrou picked out all the bad ones and threw them away, "You didn't tell me earlier. If you had known that the teacher was the girl next door, I would have bought something when I came up."
"Did you just say 'Sister Xingruo'?" Zou Wanrou asked curiously.
"You better be!"
"Mom, have you heard of Wutong Town?"
"Lin Lu, take these back and eat them."
Zou Wanrou crossed her arms with her arms.
Her hair is very long, and it takes a lot of effort to dry it completely, which makes her wrists sore.
"You still have to learn more about dealing with people!"
"Your mother is so enthusiastic, how can I finish eating so many things..."
"I think I have a colleague whose hometown is over there..."
What should I do? Should I pretend to be asleep?
Could it be that Lin Lu told his mother about the toe-toe touching?
But I obviously didn’t do anything, he was the one who started it! Is this feeling of guilty conscience given to the wrong person?
After all, the two roles of teachers and parents are like the two ends of a balance beam. If it is not a good thing to meet, it must be a bad thing.
It was already half past ten when I got back upstairs, so I didn't even enter my house, but went straight to the door of Li Xingruo's house next door.
"Now I'm an intern editor."
"...Mom, it's not what you said yourself, you should learn more from excellent people."
"Then, goodbye aunt."
Li Xingruo squatted down and saw clearly that there were many things in the heavy bag.
"I helped buy groceries, wash dishes and pay for meals!"
"I haven't officially graduated yet. I moved here to rent a house because I was doing an internship."
Zou Wanrou nodded happily, went back to the house to get her bag, went downstairs and left.
"So you go to the house next door every day to get food."
Li Xingruo couldn't resist Zou Wanrou's enthusiasm. While accepting the greeting gift, he also invited her, "Auntie, come in and sit down. I'll get you a glass of water."
Probably because the day Li Xingruo first moved here, she left a good impression on Zou Wanrou. After all, as an old mother, she felt guilty enough that she couldn't take care of her son's daily life. Now, she has such a good impression of a girl.
I am willing to tutor Lin Lu and even cook!
The old mother's face gradually softened.
After seeing clearly the smile on her aunt's face and the calm Lin Lu behind her, Li Xingruo felt a little relieved - it didn't seem like something bad?
"Huh, auntie?" Li Xingruo looked a little surprised.
"No need..."
"How big is it?"
Lin Lu smiled: "Sister Xingruo, just remember to be nice to her son."
"That makes sense..."
Li Xingruo was stunned for a while, then realized what he was doing and said angrily: "You also said that the rice cooker was left at my house!"
