"I'm fine. I had a little problem before, but I'm fine now. You haven't eaten yet, and you didn't tell me in advance before you came back. Just wait, mom will cook for you."
Mrs. Su is old and usually doesn't cook. Her aunt at home does the cooking.
Even when her son and grandsons come back, she rarely cooks.
Only when her daughter comes back will she willingly and eagerly enter the kitchen.
Su Ningmei's eyes were filled with soreness. What her mother said was almost exactly the same as what her father said.
"Mom, no need, I'm not hungry yet. If you have anything else at home, just eat whatever you want."
"How can that be done? Just wait, it will be over soon."
Mrs. Su winked at her wife and asked him to take Su Ningmei to talk. By the way, she asked her in a sideways way how her relationship with Xia Anlan was going and whether there had been any progress.
Mr. Su asked someone to bring a few plates of Su Ningmei's favorite local telecommunications food, "Come on, please eat less to fill your stomach first."
"Dad, is my mother really okay?"
"It's okay. It wasn't really a big problem originally. I guess I was sick a few days ago, so I missed you very much. But now I'm fine. The doctor has also seen it. They are common problems among the elderly."
Su Ningmei sighed: "I should have come back earlier, but this time I was delayed for three days."
"There was a car accident or a typhoon. Who could have known about this in advance? How can I blame you for such a thing? Don't take it personally. Are you okay at Anlan these days? I see you have lost weight." The old man began. I started to make insinuations. First I mentioned Xia Anlan calmly, and then I found a starting point to talk about it.
He hasn't slept well these past few days either.
Worried that his daughter would like Xia Anlan, worried that he didn't like his daughter.
Su Ningmei looked gloomy and said with a smile: "No, how can I be thin? I am very good with him, he takes good care of me."
The old man's eyesight was so good that he, a veteran in the officialdom, could tell at a glance that his daughter felt strange after hearing Xia Anlan's name.
He smiled and said: "An Lan is a good boy. I feel relieved when you are with him. By the way, the typhoon in Haishi was so big this time, it should have caused a lot of economic losses. I heard that several people were drowned. , An Lan should be very busy now."
Su Ningmei didn't know that the old man had dug a trap by saying this, and nodded stupidly: "Well, he was very busy. He went out on the morning of the typhoon and didn't come back until midnight at night. There was serious water accumulation in the streets and residential areas, so he still took the boat. When he came back, he didn’t eat much all day. He went out after breakfast yesterday, and he didn’t come back until I came back.”
From his daughter's words, as well as her expression and tone, Mr. Su was sure that his daughter was attracted to her.
But Xia Anlan didn't come back for more than a day. This probably corresponded to his previous guess that the boy didn't care about his daughter.
This is what the old man is most worried about. His daughter is simple and Xia Anlan is too complicated.
But why doesn't he like his daughter? What's wrong with his daughter
The old man immediately became angry. He slammed the table and said angrily: "This boy, I was just thanking him for taking care of you, but in the end, he left you alone at home and ignored you. He didn't even say goodbye before leaving. I'll turn around." I have to talk to Lao Xia."
Su Ningmei's eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly waved her hand: "Dad, why do you say that? You can't look for Uncle Xie, he has taken good care of me."
