"Mom, what are you talking about? Don't say that my relationship with Mr. Liang is just an ordinary leader and employee relationship. Even if he and I really have anything, it has nothing to do with Liu Nanhao. Liu Nanhao and I have broken up since graduation. Got it!"
My mother has always been a very righteous mother. When I was in school, the parents of other classmates did not allow their children to fall in love, but my mother was very understanding. As long as the people I played with could help me, she would No objection. So when Liu Nanhao and I were together, I told her immediately. She was very happy and said that she was my first love and she must invite Liu Nanhao to our house for dinner. But at that time, Liu Nanhao always said she was embarrassed and refused, so my mother didn’t know what Liu Nanhao looked like.
Actually, now that I think about it, the reason why Liu Nanhao refused was not entirely out of embarrassment, but more out of dislike. Because he did not intend to have a future with me, he also refused to meet my parents. But that’s okay, at least there’s no barrier between us when we break up, and it won’t involve each other’s families.
Goodbye, that's all.
"Then tell mom, you and Liu Nanhao have been dating for five years, and you broke up anyway!" My mom obviously didn't believe me, so she decided that Liu Nanhao and I broke up because I had moved on to Liang Sheng.
I don’t want to recall those painful past events, and I don’t want to mention Yuan Yushan in front of my mother, because my mother doesn’t like Yuan Yushan. She thinks I have no friends because of Yuan Yushan. She thinks I should make friends with similar kids. And I asked her what it meant to be "almost" like me, but she couldn't answer, and then she said it was up to me. After that, I took Yuan Yushan home for the night as usual, and she would still happily make pasta for us. Maybe this is motherly love. Even if she didn't like it, she would respect my preferences.
And I finally understood what she meant by "almost". There may have been some vague barriers between me and Yuan Yushan from beginning to end. This barrier is not that she and I wear the same brand of clothes, or that she and I wear the same brand of clothes. It can be eliminated by eating the same high-end Western food or attending the same school. My innate arrogance and her low self-esteem since she was a child have destined that the distance between me and her will be difficult to get closer even if it takes ten or twenty years.
When my mother saw that I was silent, she knew that it hurt my heart, so she said in a serious voice, "My dear daughter, let's break up. We deserve something better."
Better, does Liang Sheng count
I asked my mother: "Isn't our Mr. Liang good?"
My mother glanced at me sideways: "You're not really with that boss, are you?"
My eyes were wandering and my words were vague: "No, I just asked casually."
"I also know a little about Yuan Sheng's boss. He is young and capable, and he is indeed very good. But Yan Yan, for such an excellent person, are you sure he can treat you sincerely? Let's not say anything else, that kid is also quite handsome. , what kind of wife do you want? Although we are not bad, I don’t want your future life to be too tiring. Mom hopes that you can find a boyfriend who is motivated and down-to-earth. There is nothing wrong with being ordinary. "
My mother suddenly preached, and I didn’t know how to respond. I followed her words and thought about it. Liang Sheng's excellence is obvious to all. There are indeed many equally outstanding suitors around him. A wealthy noble like him should pay attention to being well-matched, right? His future wife should be a strong businesswoman like my mother, not a loser in the workplace like me who does nothing.
I replied nonchalantly to my mother: "You just hope that I can find someone capable to help you take care of your business."
My mother burst out laughing: "My little cotton-padded jacket still understands me, hahaha."
I rolled my eyes at her and was too lazy to speak.
When the car stopped at the playground in front of grandma's house, grandma had been waiting at the door for a long time. When I got out of the car, I saw her stooping figure, and my nose felt sore. I rushed over and hugged her, bending down and rubbing in her arms. Grandma likes it when I act coquettishly, because it makes her think that I am still a child and she is not old.
"Yanyan, my good baby, grandma has brought you back." Grandma lovingly stroked my cheek, and her cataract-like eyes suddenly filled with tears.
I resisted the urge to cry and broke away from her arms. I smiled and said, "I brought you Haicheng's specialties. I'll go get them."
I got back into the car, wiped my tears with my sleeves, and then got out of the car with the four or five bags of gift boxes bought by Liang Sheng, smiling again.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my grandpa's portrait hanging on the inner wall of the living room. I quickly looked away. I didn't dare to look at it, not because I was afraid, but because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control my tears and would make my grandma sad.
I raised the gift bag to show it to my grandma and explained one by one: "These are all specialties of Haicheng. Here, this is sea urchin, this is sea cucumber, this, eh, what is this, mom?"
My mother was chatting with her uncle, and then she looked back and said, "That should be a tonic too. Just leave it alone. Tell your grandma that she doesn't understand it either. Just ask your uncle to teach her how to take it later."
I turned my attention to the chat between my mother and my uncle. It turned out that they were discussing my grandma’s condition. Grandma was already old and had some minor physical ailments, but they were never serious. Until my grandpa passed away this time last year, she seemed to have aged a lot overnight. When my grandpa passed away, I didn’t see my grandma shed a single tear during the entire process, but I knew she was the saddest. She was too proud to show it, and more importantly, she didn’t want her children to worry.
But after that time, I noticed that my grandma’s head would sway slightly uncontrollably. I checked online and found that it was probably Parkinson’s syndrome, which is a chronic degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that can damage patients. animal skills, language abilities, and other functions. Last year I told her to take her to the hospital for examination and treatment, but she disagreed, saying it was nothing serious and would not affect her daily life, and she was not willing to spend the unjust money. My mother and brother-in-law have been whispering in her ears for almost a year, but they have not been able to convince her. When I came back this time, my mother was very cruel. She said that even if she was kidnapped, she would take my grandma to the hospital for treatment.
My brother-in-law is the son of my grandpa’s brother. My grandpa’s brother passed away from hepatitis B when I was very young. My brother-in-law’s mother is mute and can’t speak, so my brother-in-law communicates with us more. My grandma is almost his second mother. When we were in Haicheng, we mostly relied on my uncle to take care of my grandma at home.
My uncle said, "My aunt is stubborn. No matter how much we try to persuade her, we can only resort to extreme measures."
The extraordinary methods he mentioned were probably similar to what my mother said about binding.
I pulled my grandma outside to chat, trying not to let her hear.
Grandma also knows about Liu Nanhao and I. She can’t remember much, but she only knows the name Liu Nanhao. She held my hand and asked me: "Yanyan, how are you and Liu Nanhao getting along? When will you bring me back for grandma to see?"
