Chapter 148 I want to propose to you in front of my aunt
Do we still remember Fang Jianjun’s apprentice Xiaolong?
A nice young man, he fell in love with Wang Hong's apprentice Meng Meng when he was in Ganqika. However, the love between the two did not last long. Xiaolong was calm and Meng Meng was romantic. The two did not have the same personality, so they fell in love.
Time is running out.
Then the Chishan Road store opened, and Xiaolong and Meng Meng were transferred there together to cook cold dishes and dumplings respectively, and both became chefs.
During this period, Wang Hong intended to ask Meng Meng to be her daughter-in-law, but it didn't work out. The main reason was that Meng Meng was in the provincial capital and Wang Hong's son was in Jilin, so it was inconvenient for them to communicate. Besides, Wang Hong's son didn't plan to find a girlfriend yet.
This matter was dropped.
Let’s go back to Xiaolong.
Xiaohui learned how to make stuffing from Wang Hong, and Xiaolong got to know her. They didn't work in the same store, so they didn't know each other well at first. They just smiled and nodded to each other when they met.
The two got acquainted during the Spring Festival party.
Xiaohui is well-behaved and sensible, smart, studious, and filial. Although she is not particularly beautiful, not as good-looking as Meng Meng, and a little thin, her innate gentleness and strength in her bones attracted Xiaolong, and she gradually fell in love with her.
.
No one knows when the two began to fall in love.
After Xiaohui's mother was hospitalized, we found that there was a slightly shy young man beside Xiaohui, who together with her served her mother attentively.
After Xiaohui's mother was discharged from the hospital, Xiaohui took care of her at home. Xiaolong prepared the meals during lunch every day, packed them and sent them to Xiaohui's house, and ate with her mother and daughter.
After dinner, I go to the market to buy vegetables, chop firewood, and clean the yard. Then I chat with Xiaohui’s mother, or clean up the house with Xiaohui, as if I have become a member of the family.
Xiaohui's mother was happy from the bottom of her heart. This miserable woman knew that her time was short, and she had been worried about what Xiaohui would do if she left. Now she was relieved, Xiaolong was good, she did not dislike her family being poor, and she was sincere to Xiaohui.
Really, I can leave with peace of mind.
How can a mother not miss her daughter?
They all hope that their daughters will find a good partner and have a good home.
What is the cruelest?
Knowing that you are going to die, you still have to smile every day and walk towards death step by step.
When people are alive and healthy, they feel that death is very far away and has nothing to do with them. They always act as if it is nothing, or even boast: "Why are you afraid of death? When the time comes, you can close your eyes and just love."
The time has not come yet, I don’t want to die by then, I want to live even if I can.
Knowing that your life is coming to an end and saying goodbye to your loved ones in this world is cruel and painful.
But all this is even more cruel and painful to the loved ones around me.
Who wants to watch their loved ones die step by step under the torment of illness?
I believe that no child in the world wants his mother to die. Even if he knows that there is no cure, he is still hoping for a miracle to happen. When he wakes up tomorrow morning, his mother will be cured. ------
Our Xiaohui is already strong enough.
She is nineteen years old, a grown-up girl. In front of her mother, she has her usual smiling face, as if nothing has happened and she is doing what she should do.
She doesn't want her mother to leave, she wants her mother to live a few more years and live a good life in peace and contentment.
My mother's life is too hard.
As far back as she can remember, her mother has been living with her alone. There is a shadow of her father in her vague memory, but it is not clear. All she knows is that her father passed away and was buried in a dirt bag called a "grave".
She and her mother lived in terrible fear. She never wore any new clothes when she was a child, and her mother always wore a pair of yellow rubber shoes that had been washed white and had broken laces.
There were no toys or good food. When the little friends in the village were eating the snacks bought by the adults at home, she could only watch from a distance.
Always remember that the most delicious meal was a bowl of instant noodles cooked by my mother on my birthday. The tempting aroma is still lingering in my mouth------
We should know that when she was a child, instant noodles were no longer a good thing, and many people bought them in boxes.
The deeper memory is that my mother dragged her tired body under the scorching sun, holding her with one hand and stretching out the other, begging for food and money from passers-by------
She remembered that her mother had almost no expression, and was begging for help blankly and numbly, saying the same words. When someone gave her a coin, her mother bowed deeply and said thank you.
When she was little, she didn’t know what begging was like. She only knew that she was hungry and had no strength in her body. She held her mother’s hand, her dirty little face was dull, and she looked at the stalls selling food on the street with greed.
. Sometimes when I walk by a child holding snacks in his hand, his stomach growls, his little tongue licks his lips, and his eyes follow the child for a long distance ------
But, what about mom?
Mom is even hungrier——
Every time when she had to get enough money to buy food, her mother would first go to the stall and buy a piece of cake or a bowl of noodles, and watch her gobble it up. She would drink the remaining soup in the noodle bowl, or take a sip of cold water.
He took out the already hard dry food and took two bites.
"Mom, are you hungry?" she asked.
"Mom is not hungry, and there is nothing to do. Just drink some water." Mom said.
Poor, great mother.
One afternoon, I walked to a small square with my mother. She was tired, and her mother carried her to a long chair to rest. After a while, she fell asleep. When she woke up, her mother was gone, and she was so scared that she almost burst into tears.
I was crying when I saw a woman standing next to a trash can not far away, eating an apple she pulled out of the trash can into her mouth------
That woman is mother------
She cried, silently.
She felt wronged and uncomfortable with her mother.
Uncomfortable.
Yes, it's uncomfortable.
She felt uncomfortable in her young heart, and she seemed to suddenly understand why her mother said she wasn't hungry. She just didn't say she was hungry, and went through the trash can while she was asleep, looking for something to fill her stomach -----
-
Mom, mom——
She and her mother met a bald, fierce-looking uncle. The uncle gave her mother a few coins and turned to leave. He immediately turned around again, looked at her, and then began to dig into his pockets and put all the money in his pockets.
I gave the money to my mother, then turned around and left.
That was the person she saw who gave her the most money, and she was deeply impressed. It was with the money from her bald uncle that her mother bought a bus ticket and took her to the provincial capital to find relatives.
After so many years, she still remembered her bald uncle.
After arriving in the provincial capital, my mother and my aunt worked together, scraping something called "big white" on the wall. She followed her mother, often making her face and clothes stained.
Later, she and her mother moved away from a relative's house and went to a house with a big boy with glass flowers in his eyes. At first, she was afraid of the big boy, mainly because of the flowery eyes, and she was so frightened that she hid in her mother's arms.
However, having dazzled eyes is good for my mother and her.
Later, she went to school, learned knowledge and understood things, and gradually understood her mother's hardships and difficulties, as well as her deep love for herself. She loved her mother even more, and said in her heart that when she grows up, she will definitely let her mother live a good life.
My mother's life has been very difficult.
Sometimes fate is fair, sometimes it is unfair.
He was so good at her and her mother that he died in a car accident, and even the driver who caused the accident was not found.
She and her mother returned to the days when they depended on each other.
She started working to earn money. Although the money she earned was not much, apart from paying the rent every month, the rest was enough to live with her mother. She did not have excessive demands for life and only hoped that her mother would be healthy and safe.
We all know what happened next.
She and her mother went to Aqiao Dumpling House, learned how to mix stuffing, and became a master.
After the Spring Festival, I also gained love.
Xiaolong came into her life subtly.
A nineteen-year-old girl has long known about the relationship between men and women, and has a dreamlike longing for love. She imagines that one day the boy she likes will come to her gracefully on a white horse, help her up on the horse, and do
His bride.
Our Xiaohui also has such a dream.
God favored him and sent Xiaolong to her, holding her helpless little hand.
She was grateful to Xiaolong in her heart and loved him deeply. It was him who stayed by her side when she needed him, which warmed her lonely heart, gave her frail body something to rely on, and tasted the sweetness of love.
Yes, is there anything more heart-warming than having your loved one by your side at this time?
Brother Xiaolong is so considerate and always thinks of himself. He has done many things that he didn't even think of, but he has done them.
She can no longer live without Xiaolong.
Her mother's illness tortured her, and she looked like a good person, but in fact she was always in a trance. Sometimes tears would flow out involuntarily, but she didn't dare to let her mother see them, so she could only wipe them away secretly. At this time, she would forget what she wanted.
What are you doing? I have been stunned for a long time.
Fortunately, she has her beloved Brother Xiao Long, who thinks of everything for her, so it doesn't become a mess.
"Hui, I want to call my father and mother." Xiaolong said to Xiaohui.
"Huh?" Xiaohui asked doubtfully, "Why?"
"We are engaged." Xiaolong said seriously.
Xiaohui opened her eyes wide, surprise and surprise were written on her face at the same time, and suddenly a warm current of happiness flowed through her heart, so that her cheeks rose red.
She asked again with her eyes, my beloved Xiao Long, is it true?
"I want my aunt to see us getting engaged. I want to propose to you in front of her and treat you well all my life." Xiaolong said excitedly.
Tears instantly flowed out of Xiaohui's eyes ------
