During the Spring Festival, the market in this township seemed a bit depressed. This is inevitable. People have been busy for a year. Who is willing to continue to work in such days? Sometimes I think of these farmers and vendors, but they are very happy, because they
It's not like officials need to put on a show on days like this.
There are still people selling vegetables, but the prices are more than twice as high as usual. The sellers take it for granted, and the buyers have nothing to complain about.
Tong Yao and I bought a lot of things, from fresh vegetables to meat. Because Tong Yao and I became very excited, and while selling vegetables, we were discussing what dishes to prepare today.
I didn’t think about whether the two of us could eat it.
This delayed a lot of time. When we returned to the city from this small town, it was already after three o'clock in the afternoon. Then we started to assign tasks, and as a result, all the preliminary things such as washing vegetables were left behind.
On my body.
I did it with great interest, because I was very happy. I never thought that on such a day, there would be someone who would accompany me to cook, chat, and drink together later. She was even prepared to stay here for one night. My loneliness
Loneliness and loneliness will definitely go away from me. I immediately felt very happy and excited.
After finishing the previous things, she rushed me outside the kitchen, "Go! The rest is mine. You can go read a book or watch TV."
I suddenly felt very tired, "I'm going to take a nap. I hope I can eat the food you cooked as soon as I wake up."
She smiled and said: "Go ahead. You must not have had a good rest last night, right?"
I nodded, but suddenly remembered something, "Tong Yao, why don't you call your mother here too. She will definitely be unhappy by herself."
She shook her head and said: "There are several tables of customers in the restaurant today. She went to the restaurant after getting up early in the morning, and she looked very happy. Feng Xiao, speaking of which, I have to thank you, because if it weren't for you, she would never be there now.
It will feel fulfilling like this.”
I laughed "haha", "As long as she feels happy. At this age, what people fear most is having nothing to do."
Having said this, I suddenly thought of my parents. After I got to the bedroom, I immediately called them.
The call was answered by my mother. She was so happy when she heard my voice and asked me how my Spring Festival was this year. I said it was fine, everything was fine. I had dinner with my father-in-law last night and drank too much.
I don't want my mother to know my true situation, lest she worry.
The mother said: "Your father-in-law... Feng Xiao, Chen Yuan have been gone for so long, are you still... You should understand what mom means. Now you are alone and you can't take care of the child by yourself. How can this go on?"
"
She talked about the fragile chord deep in my heart. I suddenly felt a little irritable and didn't want to continue talking about this matter. "Mom, where is dad?"
"He went out. He probably went to the company again. He is very busy now," she said.
I smiled and said, "Being busy is a good thing, as long as he feels happy."
The mother also laughed, "That's right. Let's not talk about him. I still want to tell you about yourself. You are in your thirties, you can't just live alone like this, right? You can't just marry a wife for the sake of it.
The most important thing is whether the person is beautiful, treats you well, and is in good health. Your dad and I discussed it and originally wanted to come live with you and take care of the kids for you, but your dad said that this is not good and may
It is inconvenient for you to have a girlfriend again now. You are used to living alone and freely, and if we are here, it will affect you. However, how can we rest assured when you are like this? I know you are very bitter in your heart, but in this life
Isn’t that just like this? The dead are dead, and we living people must continue to live well..."
She kept nagging like this, and I was a little upset, but I tried my best to listen patiently. But in the end, I really didn’t want to listen anymore, because now I feel most annoyed by such things. I interrupted my mother,
"Mom, please stop talking. I know. Now I feel a little uncomfortable and want to sleep for a while."
Only then did the mother stop nagging, "Ah? Are you okay? Did you drink too much? Or did you catch a cold?"
I said, "It's okay. I'll just sleep for a while. I have to go have dinner with my friends tonight."
Mother said: "Okay then. You can sleep for a while."
The phone call ended like this. Family love is actually so simple. It does not require verbal blessings, only care and concern from the heart. At this moment, I felt ashamed of my impatience just now.
I slept soundly this time, and the sleepiness I missed last night was completely made up for. Maybe this is a psychological effect, because I thought of Tong Yao cooking outside, so I was able to sleep so peacefully and sweetly.
When I woke up, it was already dark, and I immediately smelled the fragrance coming from outside. At this moment, I couldn't help but think: It seems that it's time for me to find a suitable woman to be my wife. For example, like Tong Yao.
of.
When I left the bedroom, I found Tong Yao watching TV. When she saw me leaving, she smiled and asked me, "Are you awake?"
I smiled and said, "To be precise, I was awakened by the aroma of the dishes you cooked."
She laughed and said, "Your mouth is so sweet."
I asked: "Are you ready? I'm hungry."
She stood up and said, "I've been fine for a long time. It's just that I want you to sleep a little longer."
I was immediately moved and said, "Tong Yao, you should have called me earlier. I'm sorry to make you wait for me to eat."
She glared at me, "Feng Xiao, you are so fake. Why are you saying such kind words in front of me? You asked me to accompany you to visit your wife's grave, and I went. You said you couldn't sleep at night, and I
I came to accompany you today. We are friends, why are you so polite to me?"
I didn't expect that my apology would cause such a big reaction from her, "Tong Yao, I sincerely thank you. I asked you to accompany me to the cemetery because I regard you as a true friend. I'm afraid
That's why I found you. But if you wait for me to eat and let me sleep, you are being too polite to me, do you understand? That's why I'm grateful to you."
She looked at me, very surprised, "What's the reason for this?"
I can't explain it anymore, but she will understand the truth if she thinks about it carefully: her being too polite means that our relationship is not that casual. Because of this, I will verbally thank you.
She. In fact, there is a very important point here, that is, I know the distance between us, and this distance is as insurmountable as a chasm.
I smiled lightly, "Tong Yao, I'm hungry. Let's eat. I'm really hungry, and I really want to try your cooking."
She glanced at me, her eyes full of tenderness, "Okay, let's eat. Feng Xiao, I find that you have really changed." (To be continued)
