Gazing at the Rainbow

Chapter 70: Compare

   Lin Yao received a call from Ms. Wen on the way home. Ms. Wen is Lin Yao's mother.

  

Ms.   wen said with concern: "Yao? It's New Year's Day soon. How many days are you going to have a holiday for your unit? Are you going home?"

  

   Lin Yao just remembered that she hadn't returned home for almost half a year, but she had already made an appointment with Jiang Mingshu to participate in the New Year's Eve carnival, what should I do?

  

   Lin Yao replied: "It's been three days, now this company is very formal, and the state stipulates that it can be taken as long as it is holiday..."

  

   Before she finished her words, she heard Ms. Wen anxiously asking on the other side of the phone: "Will you come back then?"

  

   Lin Yao immediately felt very self-blame, "I was just invited by a classmate to participate in an event, so I won’t go back on New Year’s Day, but I’ll come back again after Chinese New Year."

  

   At the end of the call, Ms. Wen gave a long oh, and then she asked, "How about I go to you?"

  

   Lin Yao was shocked, "Didn’t you say that you were busiest before the New Year, and you can’t walk away?"

  

   "What are you busy with?" Ms. Wen said disapprovingly: "You have been away from home for a long time, and you don't know that I will be busy before the Spring Festival. New Year's Day is idle during this time."

  

   Lin Yao’s hometown is a rural village, but she has never been diligent. According to the legend, she is not diligent, and she is the kind of person who does not distinguish the grain. Of course, this is also the reason why Ms. Wen deliberately pampered her.

  

   Besides, she went to study outside when she was a teenager. She has been away from home for six or seven years, and she does not know the situation in her hometown.

  

   Mom came to see her... It's good, but there is a problem.

  

   Lin Yao was embarrassed: "Mom, I told you that the place I live now is shared with others, and now their parents are here."

  

   Unexpectedly, Ms. Wen grunted a few times in dissatisfaction, "What? Both parents can go together, but I can't go alone?"

  

   Lin Yao was stunned, she hurriedly explained: "What do I mean by that, I mean, the house is small and there are many people, so I am afraid that you will live uncomfortably."

  

  Ms. Wen smiled, and asked, "The four of them are not uncomfortable living in one room. Why would it be uncomfortable for us, mother and daughter, to live in the same room?"

  

   Lin Yao thought about it, it makes sense.

  

  The point is, listening to her mother's tone, she clearly planned it well.

  

   She asked tentatively: "Then, would you buy a ticket?"

  

Ms. Wen is not uncomfortable, "Don’t underestimate your mother. To tell you the truth, I have already bought the ticket. It will be the morning bus at 6:50 am on January 1. I asked the conductor to arrive at Hangzhou Station at about 9:00. But I won’t take a bus in Hangzhou, you can handle it at that time."

  

   Lin Yao raised her forehead and complained: "Mom, you have bought your tickets, why do you still ask me if I can go back on New Year's Day?"

  

  Ms. Wen argued loudly: "There are so many people going to Hangzhou on New Year's Day. I must buy the ticket in advance. Besides, didn’t I call you for advice? If you have time to come back, I will refund the ticket. It’s completely too late."

  

   "Okay, anyway, what you say makes sense!"

  

   Lin Yao's personality follows Lao Lin, and like Lao Lin, she can't help Ms. Wen.

  

   Lin Yao guessed that after attending the New Year's Eve party on Friday night, she would go home. She would wake up until 8:00 in the morning, take a taxi to the station, and pick up Ms. Wen at 9:00. There seems to be no problem, so she agreed.

  

   Of course, she has no other choice.

  

Ms.   wen is almost fifty years old this year. Because she had a special personality when she was a child, she didn't like learning, so she dropped out of school before finishing the first grade of elementary school.

  

   Nowadays, not to mention that she doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters. With her self-taught Mandarin, she can't even ask someone for directions when she arrives in Hangzhou!

  

   It is impossible for her to take a taxi or let her take the bus by herself. Lin Yao can only pick it up at the station.

  

   "I will pick you up at the station!"

  

  Ms. Wen on the other end of the phone heard her agree, and she was immediately happy, "That's all, right now, is it cold in Hangzhou? How many clothes do I have to bring?"

  

  Lin Yao was a little lost. She found that she still knew too little about her mother. Every time before a holiday, her mother would call her to ask her if she could go back to her hometown. Lin Yao always answered, "Go back."

  

   It turned out that Ms. Wen didn't really want to hear her answer the word "return", but wanted to play in Hangzhou.

  

   She, who is a caring little padded jacket, has never thought of this layer. It is too caring.

  

   Lin Yao replied: "Hangzhou is very close, only a two-hour drive away, and the temperature is no different from home."

  

"Oh..." Ms. Wen was obviously relieved, "That's good, I will bring all the newly bought clothes, and then change to wear. Hey, let me tell you, Juanjuan's mother in front is going to Shenzhen After playing for a few days, I will have a good time when I come back. I just thought I would live in Hangzhou for a few days too, so as not to be looked down upon."

  

   Lin Yao was shocked by her **** logic, "So you didn't come to Hangzhou to see me, but to compare with others?"

  

  Ms. Wen denied it, "How can I, of course I went to see you, and let them know that I have been to Hangzhou by the way."

  

   Lin Yao curiously asked: "Who are they?"

  

  Also, is it possible that for Ms. Wen, a trip to Hangzhou is considered a very tall thing?

  

Ms. Wen is like a few treasures, "Mother Juanjuan went to Shenzhen last month, Mum Yingying went to Beijing last year, Mother Pengpeng went to Hong Kong on New Year's Day with someone... But none of them have been to Hangzhou, I at least went to Hangzhou before them. ."

  

   Lin Yao is speechless, nowadays rural aunts are even better than these?

  

   Besides, people fly to Beijing, Shenzhen, Hong Kong... Ms. Wen takes a bus to Hangzhou, is she embarrassed to compare it with others?

  

   Could it be, what is Ms. Wen suggesting?

  

   For example, should I take her out to travel or something?

  

   Lin Yao was lost in thought. She didn't want to take Ms. Wen to travel, but she couldn't. First of all, she had to go to work and it was impossible to take her to play around. Secondly, she didn't have the money to take Ms. Wen everywhere.

  

Lin Yao has never asked her parents for money since she graduated from university. In her opinion, her parents’ money belongs to her parents, and the money she earns belongs to her, and she has no plans to take it. Parents’ money takes them to play.

  

   Lin Yao is not short of money at home, but the money in the countryside is not enough to get it in the city.

  

Ms.    Wen neither speaks Mandarin nor can read, and no one is with her. Naturally, she can't go to a strange city. She can only choose Hangzhou.

  

   Lin Yao probably wanted to understand what was going on, so she replied, "I know."

  

   On the other side of the phone, Ms. Wen, who was already ready to go to the big city of Hangzhou, said in a good mood: "Don't worry, I will bring you a lot of delicious food."

  

  ******

  

After Lin Yao got home, she talked to Li Shulan about the incident, and finally explained: "My mother has never been to Hangzhou. She always wanted to come and see, worrying that I would disagree, so she bought the ticket first without saying hello to me. Now, if you ask her to return the ticket, she will definitely be unhappy, so I have to let her come and have a look. Please be more tolerant at that time."

  

   How could Li Shulan disagree. She hurriedly said: "It's okay. My parents have already bought the tickets. They will go back to their hometown early on Saturday morning. If your mom comes over, we can just have fun for a few more days."

  

   Lin Yao always felt that something was wrong when she said the word "lively", but she couldn't refute it.

  

  Ms. Wen's coming to Hangzhou is so settled.
