Tang Ning stared at her mother blankly.
The smile on her face grew wider and wider. She closed her eyes in ecstasy and let out a satisfied sigh. Then she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Tangning tenderly, "Why are you still standing outside? Isn't it hot? Go back inside and get some rest."
This was the first time since his mother became a deputy that her mother treated him so well.
Tang Ning looked at his mother again. His mother was still looking at him very gently, as if she had a lot of patience with him.
"Mom," Tangning asked tentatively, "Are you feeling good now?"
Mom smiled and said, "Why? Do you still want me to continue to be angry?"
She was in a really good mood. Tangning had given the carnation away just now because of restrictions. There was no place to hide the flower. A carnation was much smaller than a doll and could not fit neatly in the gap between her pants.
Plus, his mother's expression just now was indeed a little scary. If she really wanted to check Tang Ning's body, she would be furious when she found out that he had hidden the porcelain doll. It would be better to just give the flowers away. This would both calm his mother's anger and divert her attention.
Tangning still felt a little distressed after just giving away a prop. He boldly asked, "Mom, I have a question for you. Can you help me?"
Now that the props have been given out, why not try to see if they can produce the maximum effect.
"What's the problem?" Mom was a little curious.
Tangning considered her words and said, "That's right. I know a friend whose parents love to cook, but their cooking skills are not as good as yours."
Tangning flattered her mother, but she continued to look happy and cheerful, "And then?"
"My friend always feels sick after eating the food his parents cooked. We are friends after all, so I was wondering if I could..." Tangning observed her mother's expression. When she saw that her mother's expression did not change, "I would like to help him, but I am worried about his parents not letting me eat."
"I don't want to eat other people's food. It's not as delicious as my mother's." Tang Ning echoed the beginning and the end, and finally praised her mother firmly.
Mom put the flower in her pocket and said calmly, "I thought it was some problem. If his parents force you to eat, let them call and I'll have a good talk with them."
Tangning: “!!!”
Tang Ning looked at her calm and composed mother, and it seemed as if she had returned to her childhood.
Tang Ning had a soft personality since he was young. When he was bullied by his classmates for the first time in kindergarten, he just tried hard to hold back his tears and not let himself cry.
The young mother came to pick him up in a hurry and wanted to kiss little Tang Ning, but little Tang Ning pouted and had red eyes like a little bullied boy, and refused to say a word. After his mother's repeated questioning, little Tang Ning choked up and told his mother that today a little boy in the kindergarten insisted that Tang Ning be his girlfriend, and said that Tang Ning must be a girl, and that Tang Ning was lying and told everyone that she was a boy.
After listening to little Tang Ning stutteringly telling about her grievances today, her mother immediately took Tang Ning's hand and went to find the little boy.
The boy's parent was there. He was a tall and strong father, perhaps 1.9 meters tall. From Tang Ning's perspective, he was very tall, so tall that he was a little scared.
Now Tang Ning no longer remembers what his mother said. He only remembers that his petite mother was very powerful and her words were as loud as a machine gun. In the end, the tall father's face turned red and he kept pulling his son to apologize to Tang Ning.
Then little Tang Ning felt that his mother was taller than his father.
"What are you standing there for?" Tangning's mother winked at him. Tangning quickly followed her up the stairs. As they walked, he asked, "What if there's no signal and I can't make a call?"
"Why is there no signal?" Mom asked puzzledly, "We are not in the deep mountains. Why are you worrying so much? If you are really scared, tell me the time and I will call you."
"Then, Lin Yun wants to go with me. Mom, can you tell them not to force Lin Yun to eat?" Tangning didn't ask her mother to take care of all the players. If she asked too much, it would make her mother angry and that would be counterproductive.
"Is it the boy who has been coming to see you these past two days?" Mom said, "From the clothes he wears and the car he drives, he doesn't look like someone who needs a meal."
Tangning was a little nervous.
Mom frowned and said, "I just mentioned it by the way. I don't know whether you listened or not."
Tang Ning couldn't help but put on a smile. He was like a fool who only remembered to eat and not to be punished. He was scared to death because of his mother's weird look just now, but now that his mother was normal, he couldn't help but want to get close to her.
"Mom." He asked carefully, "Are you feeling okay now?"
"As long as you don't make me angry, I'll be in a good mood." Mom said without hesitation.
Tangning touched the tip of his nose. He wanted to ask his mother about Su Anyun. Where was Su Anyun adopted from? What was so special about Su Anyun? Besides the creepy porcelain doll, what else did his mother dislike about it
But these questions are too sensitive, like dancing in a minefield, and my mother may get angry at any time.
Seeing Tang Ning's mother smiling, he was silent for a moment, then slowly smiled.
If a flower can make mother happy, it has actually realized its greatest value.
Now it's good like this.
Tang Ning followed her mother up the narrow staircase. When her mother opened the door, Tang Ning saw her brother sitting on the sofa.
Su Anyun was a little different at this moment than usual. He seemed to be very hot. He unbuttoned the outermost buttons and his face turned slightly red. He seemed to have a dry mouth and held a half bottle of water in his slender hand.
Mom didn't communicate with Su Anyun and went back to her bedroom.
Tang Ning wanted to go back to her room, but Su Anyun looked up at her.
To be more precise, it was Tang Ning's waist.
Tang Ning realized that he still had the porcelain doll hanging around his waist. The doll was cold at first, so it was hard to ignore. However, Tang Ning went to meet his mother directly at that time. He was completely focused on his mother and forgot about the doll.
Su Anyun stared at Tang Ning's waist. He raised the glass without changing his expression. He opened his light-colored lips and drank the remaining half of the glass. His Adam's apple kept rolling down, but his focused gaze never moved from beginning to end.
Tangning felt a little uncomfortable.
After finishing a glass of water, Su Anyun stood up and said, "I'm going to take a nap, Xiaoning, you have a good rest."
Tangning quickly said, "Good afternoon, brother."
Su Anyun smiled and said, "Good afternoon."
After returning to the room, Tang Ning quickly took out the porcelain doll. The originally cold porcelain doll now had a temperature similar to Tang Ning's. The corners of its lips curled up in a smile. The craftsmanship was so exquisite that it looked like the real Su Anyun was smiling at Tang Ning.
But the real Su Anyun would not have such a strange sense of malice.
Tang Ning quickly turned the doll over and found a small purse in the room. It was a small toy that Tang Ning bought when he was a child. It was just big enough to fit the Su Anyun-style doll. Tang Ning hid the purse on his body. After he finished everything, he turned on the air conditioner and lay comfortably on the bed.
Sleeping in is not a good habit in the card world, but Tangning really felt attached to his bed. He quietly thought about what his mother had just said.
"Let them call me and I'll have a good talk with them."
Tang Ning turned over in bed. If there was a mirror in front of him, he would find that his eyes were red and he was smiling.
He picked up his phone and opened the chat app. Bai Yingxue still hadn't contacted him, but in the group chat, Bai Wuliang was reminding everyone that they could leave and just go to Zhou Kang's house to meet up. Lin Yun sent a message to Tang Ning, saying that she had already picked him up at the community entrance.
Time flies so fast! It’s time to visit other players’ homes again.
But this time, his mother came to support him!
Tang Ning sat up from the bed, took a deep breath, walked out of the room, and left the quiet home.
When Che and Lin Yun met, Lin Yun praised Tangning, "Not bad, you looked very impressive today."
There is no longer the depressing feeling of being a deserter right after a war.
"You can't guess what happened in my house today." Tangning briefly recounted what happened this afternoon. Lin Yun was shocked and asked, "Did your mother really say that?"
Tangning nodded vigorously.
Lin Yun approached her and asked, "Auntie, are you still in need of a child?"
"But mom was just mentioning you in passing, I'm not sure if Zhou Kang's parents will listen to her." Tangning emphasized this because she was afraid Lin Yun would have too high expectations.
"One sentence is enough." Lin Yun said affectionately: "One sentence is enough for me to run away."
Soon they drove to Zhou Kang's community, which was a rich community with valuable cars parked there. They took the elevator to Zhou Kang's home, where Bai Wuliang, Jiang Mianmian and Lu Yuhua were already waiting.
Seeing Tangning and Lin Yun coming, Bai Wuliang asked, "Shall we go in now?"
"Can you wait a little longer?" Tangning requested.
Because Tang Ning and his mother had agreed to meet at 1:10 p.m., Tang Ning waited for a while. At 1:09 p.m., he nodded to the other players and Bai Wuliang pressed the bell.
He said politely to the camera in front of him: "Hello, uncle and aunt, we are Zhou Kang's friends."
Open slowly.
The strong smell of food hits you in the face, with barbecue, seafood, durian, snail noodles and other food smells mixed together. It would be fine if you picked out one of them alone, but the overly complex and unrelated food smells all stacked together not only make you lose your appetite, but also make you feel a little nauseous.
Tang Ning slowly opened his mouth, stunned at what he saw. Plates filled with food extended out from his mouth, piling up endlessly inside. Some of the food was very expensive, while others were fast food. They all formed a sea of food.
In the middle of the living room, two extremely obese middle-aged men slumped on the sofa, holding half-eaten hamburgers, raised their heads in unison like listening pigs and walked towards Tang Ning.
