Mother Yan recognized Tang Mu almost at a glance.
In addition to her own son, this child was the most eye-catching at the scene.
He was fair and well-behaved, just like when he was a child, as handsome as a little girl.
Yan Xi stared at Tang Mu when she saw Yan's mother coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Mom, why did you come here suddenly?"
Mother Yan smiled and patted Yan Xi on the shoulder: "What? You are not welcome to come here?"
Li Bochao was the first to react, rushing up and grabbing Yan's mother's arm: "Oh, Auntie, I was thinking of you just now, you are here, and you really have a good heart. Auntie, your makeup today is really beautiful, more than When I went to your house the day before yesterday, I looked even more beautiful."
Mother Yan also patted Li Bochao and said, "This kid will coax people."
Mother Yan chatted with Li Bochao for a few words, and then looked at the other people in the box. Li Bochao and Guan Hongtu didn't need to be mentioned, and there were a few more that Mother Yan knew too.
When Mother Yan finally turned to Tang Mu's side, Tang Mu hurriedly said hello: "Hello Aunt Yan, my name is Tang Mu."
Mother Yan suddenly held Tang Mu's hand, nodded and said, "I know, that child from the Zhou family. When I go back this year for the New Year, I still see your parents. Your child has grown a lot taller than when he was a child. handsome."
Tang Mu blushed and laughed shyly.
Mother Yan didn't say anything else, just stared at Tang Mu for a while before turning to Chu Jiarui.
After greeting Chu Jiarui, Mother Yan sighed and said, "You guys, all of you have gone to college, so you should have a girlfriend. Look at you, you don't even bring a girl to your birthday party. ."
Guan Hongtu glanced at Yan Xi subconsciously, Yan Xi was about to speak, Li Bochao was the first to say: "Auntie, this is not right, we want to take it too, that other girl has to be willing to come out, isn't it? It’s not easy to be called a person during the New Year’s Eve.”
Mother Yan raised her eyebrows, but agreed with this statement: "That's right, Yan Xi's birthday is in the first month, but it's hard for you children to remember it every year."
After a few more greetings, Mother Yan said: "Okay, you young people can play, I won't delay you."
Yan Xi and Li Bochao went out to deliver them in person, and Guan Hongtu also delivered them for a while. Then they turned back and reminded in a low voice beside Tang Mu'er: "During the time when the eldest mother is in D city, you and the eldest brother should be careful. I always feel that, She doesn't look right at you."
Tang Mu also noticed it, and he whispered back: "I see, thank you."
After the birthday party, Yan Xi wanted to drive Tang Mu and Chu Jiarui back in person, and Guan Hongtu stopped him immediately: "Boss, you should go home directly, Tang Mu will be delivered, you can rest assured."
Yan Xi was a little reluctant, but Guan Hongtu persuaded: "Boss, I don't think auntie is right. If you send Tang Mu back here, maybe auntie will know right away. Today, auntie is aggressive, and it is likely that she has found something. You should think carefully about whether you have been overheard by your aunt on the phone or something with Tang Mu these days."
"This is not a joke. Even if you want to showdown, it's not now. For the purpose of protecting Tang Mu, you shouldn't tell the family so early."
Yan Xi was still hesitating, and Tang Mu also came out to persuade him: "You should go home directly. I have Chu Jiarui to accompany me, and Guan Hongtu to send it. What else do you have to worry about?"
Yan Xi reluctantly held Tang Mu's hand and didn't want to let go.
Tang Mu touched the necklace on his neck and the one on his neck, and Yan Xi was willing to let go.
The necklace on Yan Xi's neck was a birthday present from Tang Mu.
Tang Mu bought this necklace very early and was waiting to give it to him on his birthday.
The necklace is a pair, a couple's style. When Yan Xi just opened the gift, he put it directly on his neck.
As long as it was given by Tang Mu, he felt like a treasure.
For the next two days, Yan Xi obediently stayed at home with her parents. Seeing that Yan Xi came back early that day, Mother Yan didn't go to other places, but she evacuated the "ridiculous" thought before.
Of course, the more important problem is that she found out about Father Yan's problem again. Although she didn't quarrel with Father Yan in front of Yan Xi, the husband and wife had quarreled four or five times within two days.
Yan Xi has long been accustomed to his parents arguing about this kind of thing.
On the fifth day of the first day of the new year, Yan's mother sat alone on the balcony drinking boring wine, and Yan Xi walked to her side with a red wine glass.
At that time, Father Yan was already unbearable and went to S City alone.
Originally, the two of them had an appointment to go together, but Yan's father woke up early and left his mother alone.
Although Mother Yan did not cry in front of her son, Yan Xi knew that she was in a bad mood.
Yan Xi sat next to her, as before, without saying a word, just silently accompanying her.
Yan's mother put down the glass, turned her head to look at Yan Xi, and suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Yan Xi, you have to listen to your mother's words, no matter how much money our family has in the future, you can't learn badly. You can't be like your father. , I wish I could raise a few more women outside."
Yan Xi sighed and said, "I won't do that, never will."
Mother Yan thought of Tang Mu, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense without evidence. If she guesses wrong, it will only hurt Yan Xi's heart.
"That's good, I believe my son is different from his father."
After saying these words, Mother Yan smiled again and said, "You don't have to because I have an opinion on your father. In fact, your father is a very good person. He has vision, foresight, courage, and talent."
"When we were together, he still loved me very much."
Yan Xi knew Yan's mother's affection for Yan's father, and he didn't know what to persuade her at such a time. But after being silent for a long time, Yan Xi said: "Mom, I think, no matter how much you love my dad, your own happiness is the most important thing. If you think that you are happy with those women outside, you should fight. If you don’t feel happy, you find a way to make yourself happy.”
"No matter what decision you make, even if you plan to separate from him, I will support you."
Mother Yan seemed to have never thought about this issue, and she immediately retorted: "How can it be, Yan Xi, if this is the case, our family will be broken up. Although your father is a little concerned, he still takes care of the family."
Yan Xi couldn't agree, he chuckled and said: "My dad's business is getting bigger and bigger, it is good to have a career and a dream. But there are some problems, but they are hard injuries. You can endure it for a lifetime and slowly relieve it. Your mood is naturally good. But if you can't, I advise you not to endure it any longer."
"However, no matter what I say, it is my personal opinion. Mom, just listen. After all, you may not take what I say. But I ask you to believe that no matter what, your son will stand by here."
Mother Yan had been holding back her emotions, but now she suddenly burst into tears.
"You are my mother's good son."
--
Mother Yan left in the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month. Before she left, she made dumplings for Yan Xi herself, made a few dishes, put them in a thermal insulation box, neatly lined them up in the refrigerator, and left a note for Yan Xi. , reminding him to eat early.
No matter how delicious the auntie at home cooks, the taste of mother will always be the most unique taste in this world.
Yan's mother has become more and more lazy in recent years, and rarely cooks herself. During the Spring Festival, Yan's father never tasted her craft.
Yan's mother didn't use Yan Xi to send her off. After she got up, she chased Yan's father to S city alone.
After leaving, Yan Xi didn't know when he would be able to meet his parents.
After all, Ruiduo's business is all over the country, and the two of them have to be busy with their careers in addition to their quarrels.
Yan Xi took a mouthful of dumplings, which tasted exactly as he remembered.
He packed all the meals and prepared to take them to Tang Mu's.
But when he thought that Chu Jiarui still lived in Tang Mu's house, Yan Xi suddenly felt inconvenient.
This kind of inconvenience is not because he is afraid of eating the food made by Yan Xi's mother, nor because he does not want him to live in Tang Muna, but because Yan Xi has gone, with Chu Jiarui's character, he must give up his place.
Yan Xi heard from Tang Mu that the dormitory where Chu Jiarui lived was very poor.
Yan Xi didn't want him to go back to that kind of place to live. If he arranged another place for him, Chu Jiarui might not be willing.
Thinking of this, Yan Xi called a friend of hers directly.
This friend's name is Jiang Zuoren, who is also a rich second-generation, five years older than Yan Xi, and returned from studying abroad two years ago.
He is gay too.
Jiang Zuoren's breakup with his family was not entirely the reason for coming out of the closet, but that he had a very unpleasant quarrel with his former boyfriend.
After the little boyfriend broke up with him, he persevered and ran back to seek reconciliation. The city was full of ups and downs. The parents of the little boyfriend even came to the door and told Jiang Zuoren to stop disturbing their son in front of his parents.
The Jiang family is also a decent person in D city. Jiang Zuoren's father is the boss of major chain supermarkets in D city.
After the incident became too big, the second elder of the Jiang family disliked him and drove him out of the house.
After Jiang Zuoren fell out of love, he also started not doing his right job. Now he is at ease outside, and he doesn't even care about his family's business.
I heard that Jiang's father couldn't control this son later, so he discussed with Jiang's mother, and hurriedly wanted another child while he could still give birth.
Now Jiang Zuoren's younger brother is one year old.
After having a younger brother, the family was a little more relaxed towards Jiang Zuoren, and no one cared about how he was outside.
The last time Yan Xi saw him, he was drunk and swaying, Yan Xi felt that his brain was going to be drunk.
In the second year of junior high school, Jiang Zuoren also came to Yan's family to pay New Year's greetings. He also played with Yan Xi when he was a child, so Yan Xi persuaded him: "Let him go over the past feelings, and I will introduce you to a new boyfriend another day."
Jiang Zuoren sneered: "It's not that easy, it's not like I haven't looked for it, it's annoying to look at."
"Try it, maybe it's better than your last one. People always have to look forward. If you don't like it, it doesn't matter. Anyway, just to see, you shouldn't even take this step now, right? ?"
Jiang Zuoren laughed immediately: "Why don't you dare? You kid just met me."
After that day's conversation, Yan Xi drove Jiang Zuoren up on the morning of the sixth day and went to Tangmu's community.
When approaching the station, Jiang Zuoren was a little nervous: "How about that kid? Is he handsome?"
Yan Xi thought about it and said, "It's hard to say, he's not as handsome as my boyfriend."
"But I don't think there is anyone more handsome than Tang Mu in this world, so you don't have to take my words to heart."
Jiang Zuoren gave a "en" and asked again: "You really introduced me to someone? Could it be that you want to take me to some shabby place and spend money to have fun?"
Yan Xi was amused by him: "I'm that kind of person?"
Jiang Zuoren shook his head violently: "That's not true, since I know you, I have to be like a monk."
He was about to turn his head when he thought of something and said quickly, "However, I'm not going to the Shaolin Temple either. I'm worried that you will take me directly to the temple to listen to the monk's sermon."
Yan Xi reluctantly raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Jiang Zuoren said again: "Is this kid really in love? Is it the one you have had a crush on for several years?"
Yan Xi said: "You will know when you see it."
"Also, I really won't take you to the temple, don't worry."
Jiang Zuoren was uneasy all the way, but when he saw Chu Jiarui, his eyes suddenly lit up...
