within Temptation

Chapter 39 Mother's Expectation

Although I was seven years older than Yingying, at that time, I was still an ignorant half-grown child.I know that I was very naughty when I was a child, maybe I really bullied her, I don't know.

Having said that, I finally understand why Yingying is so afraid of me when she enters my house.I think I played tricks on her when I was a child, so she still remembers it fresh?

For my naughty mischief when I was a child, I have reflected on it and reformed it when I grew up.People will always mature.Now, although I can't change Yingying's impression of me all at once, I believe that as time goes by, she will understand that I am no longer the bad boy who caused troubles all day long.

So, I stopped talking to her about the past, and just tried my best to comfort this poor girl whose heart was hurt.I hope she can understand that here, each of us will treat her as a relative, and she will never suffer any pain or hurt again.

The girl still seems to have a bit of a grudge against me. Basically, what I say, she listens to and doesn't express any opinions.I don't mind, knowing that this is just a temporary stranger between me and her, I believe it won't be long before we get acquainted.

My mother came back after going out for more than an hour, and came back with her, as well as my sister and Liangliang.From now on, there will be someone living in the family. As a member of this family, my sister will of course come back to take a look.

In front of Yingying, my sister didn't say anything.But judging from her expression and my mother's expression, I guess they must have had another fight over this on the way.

Of course, I know that my sister is a woman with a sharp mouth and a tofu heart.If you really want to drive Yingying away, I believe she can't do it.Sure enough, my sister saw Yingying's lovely and pitiful appearance, she was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, went out and said to my mother: "Forget it if you come, everyone will work harder in the future."

So, our family of three held a meeting for this.My sister said that her father-in-law needs someone to serve him for many years because of his illness.In order to take care of his old man and save the family's expenses, she decided not to go home for dinner every day, but to have dinner with my brother-in-law's parents instead.

I know that this actually means that my sister has given up taking advantage of the family, and has to take on the responsibility of taking care of and supporting the two elderly people over there.She was not well off financially, and her life will be even more difficult from now on.

Of course, neither my mother nor I will ignore it.As long as we can, we will do our best to help.Yingying came, just in time for Grandpa Liangliang to be seriously ill.In the future, we all know that life will be more difficult and difficult.My mother took out the 2000 yuan she had saved over the past few years, and gave it all to my sister, saying that the money was used to treat the in-laws.My sister is not polite, and she really needs the money.Otherwise, when Grandpa Liangliang was discharged from the hospital, he would not know if he would be able to pay for the hospital treatment.

Not long after, my sister brought Liangliang home.My mother started to take Yingying to the bathroom to wash her face and feet, preparing to let her sleep.

Of course Yingying shares a bed with my mother, so that my mother can take care of her at any time.Fortunately, it is still summer, so there is no need to prepare quilts or anything.Add a pillow and blanket, squeeze a little, and you can barely sleep.

Yingying is very obedient, and she has no complaints about my mother's arrangements.Soon, she slept alone on my mother's bed.My mother has settled down with Yingying, so she is free to have a private talk with me.I was sitting in the living room smoking a cigarette when I saw my mother sitting in front of me with a smile and looking at my face with a happy look.

I said inexplicably: "Mom, what are you laughing at?"

My mother chuckled and said, "You kid, you still keep it a secret from your mother at this time, right? Let me ask you, where did you get the 3000 yuan hospitalization advance payment for Grandpa Liangliang? Don't tell me that girl The child is just your colleague, right?"

I... I sweat!
I knew that with my sister's big mouth, there was no way I could hide my money from my mother.But the question is, why do women always like to be self righteous?It's obviously just borrowing money from a colleague, but just because she is a woman, you have to think that I have an unusual relationship with her.Even if I explain it seriously, I still treat it as a secret and refuse to admit it.

well!Although I'm too lazy to explain, I still have to make it clear right now.Otherwise, with my mother's temper, she might ask me to bring Shi Shanshan home for her to meet.

So, I could only say with a very serious expression: "Mom, are you listening to my sister's nonsense again? The person who borrowed my money is really just my colleague! You also know that it is not much to borrow a little money these days." It's easy! I had no other choice, so I finally spoke to her with the cheek. Fortunately, my colleague is a warm-hearted person who happens to have some spare money on hand, so he agreed to lend me an emergency. It was such a simple matter, and I For no reason, my sister thought I had something to do with her. But she didn't even think about it. If I really wanted something with her, why wouldn't I admit it? Talking about a girlfriend is not something to be ashamed of!"

My mother said oh, but believed my words.Maybe it's her understanding of her son, knowing that whenever I explain something seriously, it's mostly true.

However, my mother's face showed a little disappointment.Sighing softly, he said, "Really? Is it really just a colleague? Alas, just now... Mom was really happy for a while. Xiaoyong, you are not young anymore. When will... let Mom... Are you really happy for once?"

I know that my mother really hopes that I can have a girlfriend.Ever since I was growing up, my mom has been looking forward to the day when I can bring a girl into the family.But for me, let alone looking for a girlfriend, it is a female friend, and my mother has never heard of it.The son is slow and incompetent in this respect, can she not be in a hurry?

To be honest, I am also a normal man, a normal man, who wouldn't want to have a girlfriend?But this kind of thing has to be a matter of chance, doesn't it?I'm not Sun Dong's kind of person who has ways with women, I don't know how to court a girl.Maybe in the future when fate comes, I will know each other and fall in love with a certain girl, and then we will be together naturally.But if I want to find a girlfriend deliberately, I really don't have that ability.

My mother knows me so well that she was so happy when my sister told me about it.That's why she was so disappointed after hearing my explanation.

Seeing the disappointment on my mother's face, I could only say: "Mom, don't worry, I'm still young, take advantage of this moment to work hard and earn more money to improve our family's life, and then think about it." There is still time for personal matters. I assure you, sooner or later, my son will bring you a daughter-in-law."

My mother smiled and shook her head, and said: "When you have that day, maybe your mother will be buried in the ground long ago."

Just as I was about to say something, my mother waved her hand and said, "Okay, Mom understands. Now our family is in trouble, and it is really not easy to find a partner. When our family has money, what kind of woman can't we find? Xiaoyong, you can be retained by the new company this time, which shows that someone still values ​​you. In the future, you must work hard and perform well. Only when you are appreciated by the leaders can you have a chance to stand out and make a lot of money. Mom also You don’t need to improve your family’s life. You can keep the money you earn, and if you marry a daughter-in-law who will be more beautiful and decent, Mom will have no regrets.”

For a while, I didn't know what to say.Maternal love is so great that no words can express my gratitude.

Soon, my mother went to wash and went to bed.I went back to my room, untied my clothes, and checked the wound on my lower abdomen.Maybe it's because of my good physique. Although I didn't take any medicine or nourishing food, the wound has begun to heal slowly after a day, and it seems that the stitches will be removed in a few days.

Thinking of my mother telling me to work hard in the new company, perform well, and strive to be appreciated by the leaders, I couldn't help but think of Tang Xiaoru.Although Tang Xiaoru and I have reached an understanding, I don't think she has any grudges against me, right?Wanting to be appreciated or even promoted by her is tantamount to wishful thinking.

I knew that if I was still working in the new company, it would be impossible to get ahead.Being able to secure a salary to support the family is already the best result.If I want to improve the life at home and let the family members live a happy life, I have to find another way and make another effort.

However, apart from fighting, I have no other skills.How can I earn a lot of money and change my family's life?
