"Mom, you're back!" I fiddled with my shirt collar one last time, and opened the door.
"Why so slow! Didn't I already tell you to wait for us at the door!" My mother asked strangely looking at me who was out of breath.
"This... There are guests in this house." I said awkwardly.
At this time, Zhao Yanyan was also fully dressed and came out of my bedroom. After seeing my mother, she whispered: "Hello, auntie!"
"Oh! There are guests at home, Leilei, why didn't you say it earlier, didn't you eat at noon? Lao Liu, go wash the fish quickly, and cook the rice quickly!" My mother began to give orders, and my father didn't even have time After changing clothes, he was thrown into the kitchen.
"Auntie, don't be too busy, I'm fine." Seeing that my mother was busy cooking just after she came back, Zhao Yanyan hurriedly discouraged her with embarrassment.
"It's okay, we still have to eat if you don't come, let Leilei's father go to work, let's talk for a while." My mother said affectionately.
I'm so dizzy, what's wrong with my mother, she's more enthusiastic than me when she sees a beautiful woman, last time it was Xia Jing, this time it's Zhao Yanyan.
"Girl, sit down, don't stand! Leilei, quickly pour some water for your classmate, isn't there any drink on the balcony, bring some!" My mother yelled at me.
"Auntie, don't bother, I don't drink water." Zhao Yanyan waved her hand hastily.
"It's okay, let Liu Lei go to work." My mother didn't know that Zhao Yanyan would feel even more distressed if she tormented me like this.
Sure enough, Zhao Yanyan looked at me apologetically, and I gave her an indifferent smile. When I brought the drink, I heard my mother chatting with Zhao Yanyan: "Girl, what's your name?"
"Auntie, my name is Zhao Yanyan." Zhao Yanyan also let go a lot, without the restraint she had before.
"Zhao Yanyan, that's a good name. You and Leilei are in the same class?" My mother asked with a smile on her face.
"Yes, we are at the same table." Zhao Yanyan replied.
"Oh, so it's the same table! It's good to be the same table, you should help each other in your studies!" My mother took the drink from me and gave it to Zhao Yanyan.
"Auntie, Liu Lei doesn't need other people's help to learn from him!" Zhao Yanyan began to put gold on my face again.
"Then let Leilei help you." My mother was very happy when she heard Zhao Yanyan praise me.
"Mom, just stop talking a few words. Zhao Yanyan is the second in the school year, so I don't need my help." I also opened a bottle of drink myself, and to be honest, I'm really thirsty. XXOO this morning is physical labor.
"Ah, that's even better! One of you is number one and the other is number two, and we will communicate more together in the future!" My mother and Zhao Yanyan got started after such a short time.
"Well, Leilei, you also go to the kitchen to help your father with his work, don't stand around here." Seeing that I was doing nothing beside me, my mother found something for me again.
I gave Zhao Yanyan a wink, signaling her not to talk nonsense. Zhao Yanyan immediately gave me a reassuring expression.
"Dad, you don't need to prepare so many dishes, just deal with it." I said to my dad who was cleaning up the fish.
"Is that okay? It must be like that when someone comes to the house!" My dad put down the packed fish and started to clean the pot.
"By the way, Liu Lei. Tell Dad, what's going on with that little girl?" My dad finally came out and began to question me.
"What's going on? She's my deskmate!" I started to play dumb again.
"At the same table? At the same table, can you let her come to our house? You boy, tell me honestly, do you like her?" I didn't expect my dad to go straight to the point without any shyness, and I didn't know what to do Answered.
"I-I-" I really didn't know what to say.
"Leilei, there are no outsiders in this kitchen. We're just talking, Dad, let me tell you, if you like her, tell her as soon as possible, don't push her. That girl looks pretty to me, I like her There must be many people, right? Am I right? Anyway, it’s not a big deal for children of your age to fall in love. I think your mother and I were about the same age as you when we first met. I’ll tell you If you say a word, it would be preemptive to act first, I think if I hadn't gone to express my attitude to your mother first, maybe there would be no you now!" My dad whispered to me with joy.
I was dumbfounded when I heard it there, is this still my dad? Why is he so different from the serious and upright father he usually is
"Cough-cough! Don't be dazed, hurry up and help me wash the vegetables. Don't tell your mother what I told you just now, this is the ancestral secret book of our old Liu family!" My dad coughed twice and said to me.
Ancestral secrets? How come I haven't heard of it before? If you had taught me this way in my previous life, maybe I would have taken care of Zhao Yanyan by then.
"Okay, son! This girl is pretty good, you don't have to say anything about her looks, don't let your father down!" My father patted my shoulder and covered me with fish scales.
"I—" I was so embarrassed that I didn't know how to answer, did I tell him that I had already dealt with Zhao Yanyan
I skillfully helped my dad. In fact, I can also cook these dishes, and I really did a lot of them in my previous life, but I can't show too much. Even so, my dad still praised me in confusion, saying that the vegetables were cut more neatly than before.
After our grandpa and I have been busy for a while, three dishes, one soup and one fish were quickly put on the table.
"Come over and eat!" My dad set the table and chopsticks, and shouted to my mom and Zhao Yanyan who were chatting happily in the living room.
My mother smiled and led Zhao Yanyan to the dining table, Zhao Yanyan was also full of smiles. What are the two of them talking about right now? Judging by their intimate expressions, my mother probably recognizes her daughter again, right
"Yan Yan, you're already hungry, you can eat first, don't worry about others! Just treat this place as your own home." My mother handed Zhao Yanyan a pair of chopsticks and said.
Um? It seems that this sentence is very familiar. I remember that the last time I was a guest at Zhao Yanyan's house, Zhao Yanyan's mother said this sentence to me.
Thinking of this, I raised my head and found that Zhao Yanyan was also looking at me, probably she also thought of this, the two of us looked at each other and smiled.
I was very depressed after eating a meal. My mother kept picking up vegetables for Zhao Yanyan. Every time when I wanted to put down the chopsticks, my mother would take the food away first. I even wondered whether I was actually her own of. My dad seldom speaks during the banquet, and most of the time it is my mother who talks loudly. Often, after my mother mentions a topic, Zhao Yanyan either laughs or chatters non-stop, while my dad and I have a look of disbelief. It's inexplicable, is this the so-called woman's topic
What's more, what makes me feel extremely upset is that my mother complained more than once, that she regrets having a boy, how nice it is to have a daughter, and we can go shopping together without talking about it. After hearing this, Zhao Yanyan immediately expressed that she would often come back to my house when she was free in the future, and chat with my mother, making my mother laugh from ear to ear.
On the other hand, Zhao Yanyan was smiling like a kitten who successfully stole a fish.
