under the foggy mountain

Chapter 48

half a month later.

On this day, when Tang Qinglian came home from work, it was almost six o'clock. Usually, the food is already cooked at this time, but today the whole stove room was cold, and Tang Peng was the only one sitting in the room, so he asked : "Pengpeng, where's Mommy?"

Tang Peng said, "Mommy is going to the vegetable garden."

When Tang Qinglian arrived at the vegetable garden, she saw Tao Lanying picking vegetables, and there were already some vegetables in the basket next to her.Tao Lanying picked vegetables very slowly, and sometimes she stopped after picking a little vegetable, and it took a long time before she reached out to pick it again.

Tang Qinglian was taken aback, thinking that her mother was ill again, so she ran over and called out, "Mother!"

Tao Lanying was startled, seeing that it was Tang Qinglian, she scolded: "You ghost girl, shouting so loudly, you're going to scare me to death!"

Tang Qinglian saw that her mother was normal, and said with a smile: "Mom, Pengpeng said you came to the vegetable garden, let me take a look."

Tao Lanying then said: "Are you off work? Damn it, I'm still dawdling here. Are you hungry? Where's your grandfather?"

Tang Qinglian said: "He has to be on duty and won't come back for dinner."

Tao Lanying said: "The food is enough, let's go back. I have already cooked the rice, and there are some leftovers at noon, just fry two more side dishes."

Tang Qinglian reached out to pick up the vegetable basket and said, "Mom, let me get it."

After returning home, Tang Qinglian helped her mother choose vegetables, and Tao Lanying stopped from time to time, looking preoccupied.

Tang Qinglian said: "Mom, what's the matter with you today?"

Tao Lanying said: "Chen Ailian came this afternoon."

Tang Qinglian asked: "Chen Ailian from Huangqiao?"

Tao Lanying said, "Yes. Then your aunt also came."

Then, Tao Lanying told Tang Qinglian about Chen Ailian's arrival.

It turned out that Chen Ailian came to match Tang Qinglian.The person Chen Ailian introduced to Tang Qinglian was named Xu, 30 years old, good-looking, from Huangqiao Street, and worked in Provincial Construction No. [-] Company. She became a department manager at a young age and was highly valued by the leaders.It is said that the salary income for one year is very considerable, the unit has a house, and also bought a house in the provincial capital, and my parents have already lived in the provincial capital.Chen Ailian spoke with joy, saying that if Tang Qinglian could marry Xiao Xu, it would be a blessing.However, this man has one condition, that is, Tang Qinglian will live in the provincial capital after marriage to take care of his parents.

"Qingqing, Chen Ailian has brought a photo of Xiao Xu and put it on the table in the main room." Tao Lanying said this, then turned to Tang Peng and said, "Peng Peng, go to the main room and take the photo on the table." Come."

Tang Peng went to get the photo and handed it to Tang Qinglian.

Tang Qinglian refused to answer and said, "Mom, stop talking, I won't leave you."

Tao Lanying took the photo and prepared to show it to Tang Qinglian.Seeing Tang Qinglian, she immediately got up and went out to wash the vegetables by the pool with the vegetables she had chosen.Tao Lanying sighed, shook her head, and put the photo on the table.

When Tang Qinglian came back, she fried the dishes, put them on the table, took out the bowls and chopsticks, and served the rice, and the three of them began to eat.Tao Lanying said she was full after two mouthfuls, and sat on the edge of the table watching the siblings eat.

Seeing that Tang Qinglian was almost done eating, Tao Lanying took the photo in front of Tang Qinglian and said, "Qingqing, don't talk stupidly. You are going to marry after all, and you can't spend the rest of your life with us. Look, this little Xu looks so good A handsome man, young and promising, working as a manager of a big company in the provincial capital, if you can marry him, you will be blessed indeed. That cycad... ah, I mentioned this person again, his mother-in-law thinks our family is poor Look down on us. You can say that when you marry. Qingqing, this is a good opportunity, don't miss it."

Tang Qinglian didn't even look at it, she stretched out her hand to push the photo away, and said, "Mom, I'm leaving, who will take care of you?"

Tao Lanying said: "Qingqing,..."

Tang Qinglian put down her job, interrupted Tao Lanying, and said, "Mother, don't talk anymore, I won't go even if you beat me to death!"

After all, stand up and clear the table.

Tang Peng shouted: "Sister, I want more!"

Tao Lanying glanced at Tang Qinglian, then at the photo, and sat motionless on the chair by the table.

After Tang Peng finished eating, Tang Qinglian began to pack up.After cleaning up, she looked up and saw that Tao Lanying was still sitting on the chair in the same posture.She walked up to Tao Lanying and yelled twice, and Tao Lanying came back to his senses.

Tang Qinglian said: "Mom, don't think about it anymore, I won't leave you."

Tao Lanying smiled wryly, and said, "You stupid girl, you don't want to leave, I don't want to raise an old girl!"

Tang Qinglian said: "Mom, I have already suffered a big loss once, and I don't want to suffer again."

After hearing this, Tao Lanying was moved, and said, "Qingqing, has your sister Xinping been looking for you in the past few days?"

Tang Qinglian showed a puzzled look on her face, and asked, "What does Miss Xinping want from me?"

Tao Lanying quickly said: "Nothing to do, I'll just ask."

"A few days ago, I ran into Sister Xinping on the road. She invited me to her house to play. I said I wanted to go to work, but I didn't agree to her."

"Qingqing, your sister Xinping's family has treated us very well. You cousins ​​should walk around more often."

"Mom, you said so."

"If Xinping calls you again, you have to go to ask for leave, bring something, and go to see your uncle and aunt."

"Okay, Mom."
