Chapter 231 The Vanishing Lover

From that day on, Xia Tian really did not expect Ye Boxuan's call.

When I called again, there was no one answering.

The more she couldn't find him, the more obsessive she wanted to hear his voice.

Call Zhai Yuanfang's office, and a soldier on duty answers Xia Tian: "The head of the group has something to go out."

How soon will he come back, when will he go out, when can he be contacted, and other similar questions, the little soldier will only answer Xia Tian seriously, that is "military secret, it is inconvenient to answer".

Eight words are enough to make Xia Tian speechless and unable to explore.

Xia Tian felt that this kind of scene was like Ye Boxuan being brought home by the head-on wife, back to the real home, and she was the mistress, so she didn't dare to inquire about it, and didn't dare to call to disturb her.

Because she would be ignorant if she continued to pester her in the summer.Because she was so insignificant in front of a powerful "rival in love" in Xia Tian.

Yes, she has a very strong "rival." And she can never win.

Father-in-law Ye Zhiqing also has no news.Every day when she comes home from get off work, only she and her mother-in-law Song Yaping face each other silently.

After Xia Tian thought about it carefully, he called the hospital to find Ye Boting and Li Tong, and the answer he got was two words: "Not here."

Accompanied by medical soldiers, either actual combat or exercises.Both answers made Xia Tian flustered, her hands and feet were a little cold, and she needed to curb her wild thoughts.

She made the above calls behind her mother-in-law Song Yaping's back.Some made calls in their own offices, and some made calls when their mother-in-law was away when they went home early.

Since Xia Tian realized something was wrong, Xia Tian and Song Yaping, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally found a common hobby, which is listening to the radio every day.

Neither of them said anything to the other, they just reached an unprecedented level of harmony and compromise with each other.

When the two listened to the radio, they couldn't communicate, and they were afraid of mishearing the slightest news.Since they both looked ahead and listened carefully, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not pay attention to each other's complicated expressions.

I listened to the radio for days in the summer and got nothing.She seems to understand, she guessed it, holding the calendar and biting her fingernails to remember, afraid that she would misremember the date, and finally confirmed it many times, and her fingernails were completely bald. She came to a conclusion that Ye Boxuan really Participated in actual combat exercises, making final preparations for what is about to happen.

Xia Tian guessed that it was the answer to the actual combat exercise, but he didn't breathe a sigh of relief like Song Yaping.On the contrary, it is still very tense.

Who says there are no casualties in the exercise?She didn't scare herself, but when she was in the [-]nd Regiment, she had checked the heroic deeds of the predecessor of the regiment, and she had actually seen cases of casualties during the exercise.

Xia Tian did not tell Song Yaping the answer she guessed.Every day he pretended not to know what to do with a smile on his face, and pretended that Ye Boxuan was probably really busy with work, and he called after a while, pretending that he didn't notice anything.

It's just that from that day on, she won't question her mother-in-law again, did Ye Boxuan call?
Xia Tian no longer struggled with the phone problem, and while Song Yaping was relieved, she once again felt that she had never missed anyone.

This child is heartless, and she has blinded her excellent son for nothing.

Although he was satisfied that Xia Tian finally forgot about the phone call, he was really dissatisfied with Xia Tian's indifference to her son's behavior, which was very contradictory.

According to the schedule handed over to Song Yaping, Xia Tian will pedal the bicycle vigorously every day, buy vegetables and cook as usual, and talk to Song Yaping when he has nothing to say.

She shuttled through the vegetable market, the grain store, and the queues to buy meat.It's just that when I was cooking, I was stunned a lot. It's just that when I was cutting vegetables, I cut off a piece of shredded meat with my fingers.

When Xia Tian accidentally discovered that Song Yaping was sitting in the living room in a daze, her eyes were empty, she stood in the dark silent for a long time, and left quietly.

Since that day, she no longer rushes back to her room to immerse herself in her own thoughts after finishing her meal and tidying up. She will take the initiative to stay and sit on the other side of the sofa to accompany Song Yaping silently.

Although Xia Tian can't take the initiative to communicate, and can't open the topic box to chat with Song Yaping, but he will try his best to make himself endure Song Yaping's preaching.

She persuaded herself that her mother-in-law could catch her a mouse in front of her eyes, so just say a few words, let her speak out.

It's nothing more than thinking that she is lazy and greedy, looking down on her and picking on her, and the mother-in-law has no idea, so she can't say anything else.

The mother-in-law is Ye Boxuan's biological mother, and Ye Boxuan is her husband. For Ye Boxuan, she wants to do her filial piety for him in her own way.Might not pass, but she gotta do it.

Song Yaping has the same way of thinking as Xia Tian, ​​and she didn't tell Xia the answer she guessed from the bottom of her heart.

She was afraid that Xia Tian would panic and worry blindly when she was young.Life has to go on as usual, which is where it is.If you can worry about things alone, try to do it by yourself, one more summer is useless.

Every time Song Yaping saw Xia Tian talking to her with a smile, she felt that she was another difficult woman.

Whenever she thinks about the difficulty of military families, and this difficulty will last for a lifetime, Song Yaping's attitude towards Xia Tian will be extra soft.

I don't remember when it started, but in the Ye family's kitchen in the early morning, Xia Tian was no longer alone.

The coolness of autumn did not make the sparsely populated Ye family look more desolate. On the contrary, the space between the two of them seemed extraordinarily lively and full of people's voices...

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will cook together, and Song Yaping will still teach Xia Tian without holding back, saying whatever she wants, and never worrying about Xia Tian's self-esteem:
"Why did you put so much soy sauce again? How do you cook and still be in a daze? What else can you do well?"

"Oh, you girl. How can you be such an idiot!"

"Your father and Boxuan have been taught by me to like sweet and not salty. You need to add sugar, not salt."

"What kind of memory do you have? How many times have I told you that I really don't know how you got to the military newspaper. How can the military newspaper want you to be so useless?"

And summer...

"Mom, let's have a discussion. If you say something about me, just say something about me, but can you stop being on the line? Besides, it's not good to eat too much sugar, it's not good. No matter how much you ask me to fry anything Put sugar? What does it taste like when you fry it? You, if you want to eat sugar, there is it on the coffee table, but it’s not good to put in vegetables. It’s delicious to eat alone.”

"You, just listen to me when I tell you, how can you talk back so much, kid?"

"I'm talking about things."

"Do it yourself, I happen to be out of sight and out of mind."

And is Song Yaping a character who will be manipulated by her daughter-in-law?the answer is negative.She was choked by Xia Tian, ​​and wanted to recruit and subdue Xia Tian.

"In summer, I buy a sack of potatoes after work at night and bring them home. In a few days, a cart will come into the city, and you will come with me to buy autumn cabbage. In the winter months, you have to learn how to live. When this season comes, you have to start buying one after another. I'm back. Otherwise, there are no fresh vegetables in winter, what are you eating!"

……

Every morning in summer, when I do housework, due to the tight working hours, the work is a bit messy, and the furniture is not wiped once. Song Yaping will jump out as usual:
"Look at what this is?"

"A plush ball that scrapes into the house."

"What fuzz ball, can't you see that it's bacteria? You wipe it carefully. Who are you fooling? It's you! The dust is all in your stomach."

When going out in summer, Song Yaping would also chatter.Xia Tian suspects that she is just like her mother-in-law talking on and off. When her mother-in-law sees her, she feels uncomfortable and itches all over her body:
"Hold your head high, you should be full of vigor at your age."

"Look at the girls your age in the compound, which one is not smiling like a flower? Look at you again, you don't have any vitality at all."

"Oh, by the way, didn't you say hello to your Aunt Wang when you came home from get off work last night? Why are you being rude when meeting people? You are the daughter-in-law of our Ye family, and the people in this compound are not those in your village , Do you understand social relations?"

What annoys Song Yaping the most in summer is that she always looks down on the people in the village, acting like she is superior to the people in the village.

What's up?You are in the city, you are a cadre, you don’t eat rice.The rice you eat is produced in Northeast China.If you don’t have farmers, you can eat and drink whatever you want. If you don’t have any food and drink, why are you superior?
But when she opened her mouth, she had a confused expression: "Mom, which Aunt Wang? I'm a little prosopagnosia."

She really doesn't remember.How fast is she driving, and she has to rush home to cook ready-made meals for her mother-in-law. How can she have the time to be like those smiling girls in the compound, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li who greet, chat, and take a walk.

"Why do you have so many problems? You have auditory hallucinations and prosopagnosia for a while. Why do you have so many vocabulary? No wonder you work in the military newspaper. When you talk about you, you follow a bunch of new words. Let me work in the hospital for many years people can't understand."

Xia Tian broke down, and her voice was a little high: "Mom, even if I don't have those stinky problems, I couldn't see that Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu last night.

The big live fish I bought was hung on the handlebars, and it jumped so joyously that my handlebars were all crooked, how could I even bother to say hello?

If I were in the compound, including people, a bicycle, and a big live fish, flopping and falling together, it would be even more embarrassing to the Ye family. "

The voice is crisp, and the expression is resolute.That attitude is, no matter how much you talk about it, I will still be like this.

"Xia, are you talking back to me?"

"No, Mom, I'm getting ready to go to work. When I get back, we'll continue chatting." Hurry up, Xiaobai's temper could hardly be suppressed.

Going upstairs to get the documents and going downstairs to go out, he mumbled "Goodbye, Mom."

Song Yaping choked on Xia Tian's back.

……

But no matter who wins the confrontation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law every morning, at night, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still gather to listen to the radio.

A topic is wrong, a behavior of Xia Tian is not in line with Song Yaping's wishes, Song Yaping will open fire unilaterally, most of the time Xia Tian just ignores and pretends to be ignorant.Occasionally, I can't help but say a few stubborn words.

Every night when I go back to the house in Xia Tian, ​​I feel that I am too wronged.What's the matter, mother-in-law?
Every time Xia Tian sees Song Yaping talking softly and gracefully with others, she feels that it is an illusion.Why did she split into another personality as soon as she saw her in Xia Tian, ​​turning into an overbearing and irrational type!

The main mother-in-law is still an established fact, and Ye Boxuan cannot change his mother.She is so sad...

As for Song Yaping, occasionally she would be very sad by Xia Tian.As soon as she was old, she taught her daughter-in-law to be diligent and thrifty to manage the house. Not only did her daughter-in-law not appreciate it, but she always sang against her.Whose daughter-in-law is so disobedient?This is not a daughter-in-law, she is simply a ghost...

The "lively" Ye family's mansion distracted Xia Tian's wild thoughts, distracted Song Yaping's heart waiting to suffer...

For better or worse, they are companions after all.
