Momo no rain

Chapter 144 Inviting Mother-in-Law to the Graduation Ceremony

Momo and Li Kun sat on the soft sofa, turned on the heater, and started talking about what happened after they broke up.

Now Li Kun is not only married, but also gave birth to a beautiful daughter the year before last.Their family of three rented a small house in Shanghai. Her husband worked in a decoration company, Li Kun worked in a housekeeping company, and her mother-in-law helped them take care of their children at home in Shanghai.Although I was not particularly wealthy when I was young, I still lived happily.

Later, the two of them inevitably talked about the other classmates in the same dormitory at the technical school, as well as the teacher at the time.Before I knew it, it was past twelve o'clock.

Li Kun had lunch at Momo's house.The two of them cooked lunch together.Although they only made two bowls of tomato and egg noodles, which was very simple, they still ate them with gusto.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Kun's mother-in-law called her.He said that his daughter kept clamoring for her when she woke up and asked her to go back quickly.Only then did Li Kun reluctantly leave Momo.

Li Kun hugged Momo for a long time before leaving. They were once good classmates and good sisters, but they only met this way a few years ago. It was really hard to part with them.Finally, they agreed to get together at least once a year from now on.They don't want to be indifferent to the feelings they finally found again.

After Li Kun left, Momo got into bed again and began to fall asleep with her head covered.I vaguely felt that Duan Zimo was back.

Duan Zimo walked gently to the bedside and saw Momo sleeping with her eyes closed. He thought she was asleep, so he quietly exited the bedroom, then gently opened the door and walked to the neighbor's house across the door.

Momo didn't know what Duan Zimo and the neighbor talked about that afternoon. Anyway, the neighbor moved out in despair two days later.After the Spring Festival, an old couple moved in across the door.

During the whole Spring Festival, apart from the thrilling incident that happened before the Spring Festival, Momo and Duan Zimo had a smooth time during the rest of the time.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Momo was going back to school again. This time, Duan Zimo personally sent her back to school.When they arrived at school, Duan Zimo and Momo went to visit Lu Weizhi, the deputy dean of E University, who was Chu Jianwei's classmate.

Since Chu Jianwei had called Lu Weizhi beforehand, when Duan Zimo and Momo found Lu Weizhi, Lu Weizhi received them warmly.

When Lu Weizhi saw Momo, he said that he was still impressed by Momo, a good student with both good character and academic performance.When it came to recommending Momo to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D., Lu Weizhi said excitedly on the spot that even if there was no such relationship, he would agree to recommend Momo to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D.He sincerely said that Momo was recommended for admission based on his own strength, and that such a good student deserved to be recommended.

Two days later, Duan Zimo left Jiangcheng, and Momo started studying intensely again.She did not relax because she was recommended to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D.Every morning I still start reading for two hours at five o'clock as always, then get up, wash up, and run two laps on the playground to exercise.The next day of life and study officially begins.No matter how busy she is with schoolwork, her official account must be completed every day.I still study until after eleven o'clock every night before going to bed.Her habit of going to bed late and getting up early has been maintained since junior high school.

In the last semester of their senior year, most students are very busy, busy writing papers, preparing for thesis defense, and other academic assessments.

A few months passed without realizing it in my busy life.At the end of June, some students successfully graduated and were ready to leave campus and start a career.Some took the national examination before graduating, and could go to work after graduation.Of course, there are also students who don't study hard and don't study hard, but they fail to get their diplomas and will come back to make up the exam next year.There are also those who continue to take postgraduate entrance examinations.There are only three students in the college like Momo who graduated with both academic excellence and were recommended to their college to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D., and Momo is one of them.

On the eve of the graduation ceremony, Momo received a notice from Director Wu that the college would invite the parents of the three students who were recommended to continue their master's and doctoral studies at E University to attend the graduation ceremony. Of course, Momo's parents were among the invitees.

One day, Duan Zimo was reading a document in the office when his cell phone rang on the table.He saw the word "wife" flashing on the phone screen and hurriedly pressed the answer button. There was no one else in the office anyway. He immediately said with a playful smile: "Wife, do you miss me again? Hehe."

"Yeah, you don't want to think of others." Momo answered mischievously.

"You're smart! Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Our college will hold a graduation ceremony next Wednesday. Director Wu told me that the college will invite three parents of students who recommended students to attend the master's and doctoral studies to attend the graduation ceremony." Momo's soft voice slowly reached Duan Zimo's eardrums through the mobile phone.

"Oh, then let your dad go, and I will send him there then." Duan Zimo replied calmly.

"I just called my dad. He said that his blood pressure has been unstable for the past two days and his head is a little dizzy, so he doesn't want to come over." Momo's voice sounded a little disappointed.Then Momo said: "Husband, how about you come here with our mother?"

"Mom? You were able to get into college, and you were recommended by the college to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D. Speaking of merit, Lao Mo still had a little bit of credit. At least he took care of you when you were a child. My mother has nothing to do with it. She has no merit at all. You are not entitled to salary!" Duan Zimo immediately refused to let his mother attend Momo's graduation ceremony, "Besides, if she is asked to speak again and introduce how to raise such an outstanding child like you, what will she say? Isn't this embarrassing for her? ?! No! Absolutely don’t let her go!”

"Husband, don't be excited, listen to what I tell you. Do you think our mother has never liked me very much? One of the reasons is because I can't bring her much honor and face in front of others. This graduation ceremony is a What an opportunity! Think about it, let her be in front of tens of thousands of college students and teachers. Do you think it will be a great opportunity for her to gain face? Then she will become the center of attention. Take a few more photos of her on the spot. A photo. Will she be able to show off in front of her friends after she goes back? She will be the protagonist in front of tens of thousands of people at that glorious moment."

"But, what if the leader of your college asks her to speak?" Duan Zimo was a little shaken.

"Just say a few words at will. There are no rules about what parents must say. Let our mother say a few words of thanks to the college. My mother should be able to say it." Momo said to Duan Zimo in a gentle voice.

"Hmm -" Duan Zimo thought for a moment and said, "I'll think about it. I'll go home from get off work in the evening and ask our mother for her opinion to see if she agrees. I'll get back to you then."

"Okay. I'll wait for your call. I hope from the bottom of my heart that our mother can come with you." Momo said to Duan Zimo seriously.

"Okay, I will try my best to convince her." Duan Zimo said to Momo briskly, and then he lowered his voice: "Honey, we haven't seen each other for another month. I miss you so much..."

"I, I miss you too~" Momo said with a blush on the other end of the phone, "You will come over next week, so we can meet again..."
