101

 Ever since Yang Yinxi lived outside, her mother would always ask her for a roommate's phone number, in case something unexpected happens and she can't be reached. Over the years, her roommates have changed from group to group, from sleeping in separate rooms to sharing the same bed, from simple roommates to girlfriends... an unexpected situation in the eyes of her mother

happened

"What!" Yang Yinxi could imagine her mother's anger, but she didn't expect her mother to call Wei Lanxue, or even Min Jun, whom she was relatively unfamiliar with . She was startled when she heard 0, and then frightened by Min Jun's last words, she stuttered, "You want to answer my mother's call?" "Yes." "Why!" Yang Yinxi did

n't

understand , "Are you going to tell her everything?"

Min Jun didn't worry with her, and persuaded softly, "No, but your mother is an elder, it would be very rude for me to refuse her call. Leave a bad impression."

Yang Yinxi pursed her lips, "You don't have to refuse the call, it's so late, it's normal if you don't answer a number you don't know, my mother won't blame you." "She will continue

tomorrow What should I do?"

"It's okay! You said you were at work!" Yang Yinxi thought that Min Jun had been persuaded by her, so she came up with a bad idea.

She doesn't think Min Jun is so shameful, she just understands her own mother's temper. As soon as Min Jun picked it up, her mother must try her best to find out something. If Min Jun told the truth, her mother couldn't stand it. If Min Jun told lies, her mother might be fooled temporarily. No matter how she knew the truth later, she would feel resentful towards Min Jun.

Yang Yinxi didn't want Min Jun to be in trouble, but she couldn't think of a way to solve it, so she persuaded Min Jun to avoid it.

After hearing her ostrich method, Min Jun was silent for a moment before sighing quietly, "What if she doesn't call me, but contacts your other friends or colleagues?"

Yang Yinxi was stunned.

That's right...it would be good to call Min Jun and Wei Lanxue. For others, I received a phone call from a friend's parent who didn't know what to do. The good ones told the truth that they didn't know, and the bad ones might just say that she didn't have a boy. friends.

"My mother knows Teacher Kang's phone number..." Yang Yinxi bit her lip, "What should I do?"

Min Jun comforted her, "Don't be afraid, trust me."

"Then you..." Yang Yinxi gritted her teeth, "If you can't hold on Just tell the truth if you live, anyway, you are in S City, and your mother can't call you and can't scold you."

Min Jun smiled lightly, "Okay, you go to sleep, I'll call your mother back."

Yang Yinxi reluctantly said "Hum" sounded.

After the call was over, she got out of bed, put on her coat and sat up straight, leaning against the door to listen to the sounds outside, trying to understand what her mother and Min Jun were talking about on the phone. However, her room was separated by a door, and the parents' room outside was protected from the sound of the TV. My mother probably went to the balcony, suppressing her usual loud voice.

It can be said to be silent.

"Tsk." Yang Yinxi secretly opened the door and saw that her parents' room was ajar, and she couldn't see anything except a wardrobe.

It was a cold day, and she broke out in a sweat:

If the door of her parents' room was closed, she could still carefully walk over and eavesdrop, but now that she was like this, she used to throw herself into a trap and get nothing.

No way!

Reluctantly closing the door of her own room, Yang Yinxi sat back on the bed, patted her chest and took a deep breath to calm herself down, while staring at the second hand of the clock, counting the minutes and seconds of the phone call between Min Jun and her mother.

Five minutes later, she couldn't help but make a call to Min Jun, and heard the system voice repeating tirelessly, "Hi, please don't hang up, the number you dialed is busy.

Yang Yinxi hung up, got out of bed and walked around The small room went around twice.

At seven minutes, she thought ten minutes had passed, so she called again, but the result was exactly the same.

Min Jun talked with her mother for so long? Could it be that he couldn't hide the truth? Could it be that her mother persistently questioned her so-called "boyfriend", but Min Jun refused to answer and was unable to hang up, unable to rest because of being pestered?

Yang Yinxi panicked.

Ever since she was planning to tell her mother that she had a relationship, she had imagined the most terrifying experience of being chased and scolded by her mother and even kicked out of the house, but she was not at all psychologically prepared for Min Jun to suffer along with her!

"What should I do..." She suddenly felt that the quiet room was infiltrating, and murmured softly as she circled around the room.

Yang Yinxi spent such a long minute for the first time.

When counting silently for 59 seconds, she clapped her hands, and finally called Min Jun, thinking that if she was "on the phone", she would rush to her mother's room to rescue her daughter-in-law who was being questioned!

This time, however, she dialed.

"Hello?" Within two seconds, Min Jun's voice sounded.

Yang Yinxi was a little stunned, pinched her arm, and the speed of feeling the pain slowed down with her flustered mood. After a blunt pain, she asked carefully, "Min Jun?" "Hey." Min Jun responded gently

. Asked, "Are you scared?"

Yang Yinxi nodded hurriedly, then remembered that Min Jun couldn't see, cleared her throat and said, "Yeah! I thought I'd save you if I couldn't get through this time!" "

Save me?"

" Yes! Don't let my mother press you again!" Yang Yinxi became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice changed into a high-pitched voice. Min Jun sighed and said something she couldn't think of, "Your mother didn't press me." "..." Yang

Yin Xi was speechless for a while, then sighed, "Well, I don't need to force you to ask the word." "

It has nothing to do with the word, your mother didn't ask who her boyfriend is." Min Jun chuckled.

Yang Yinxi was surprised, "Then what are you asking?"

"What you think."

Frowning, Yang Yinxi thought about her mother's temperament, and said decisively, "Impossible! She caught you and sent you to the door, so she must try to dig out all the inside information!" "

Xiaoxi," Min Jun Suddenly asked, "Why do you think your mother cares so much about her boyfriend?" "

...Afraid that I won't come home after taking root in City S? Afraid that the conditions of the person I'm looking for will not be good? Afraid that I will be cheated?" Yang Yinxi I made a bunch of guesses.

The answer Min Jun gave was only three words, "Because of you."

Yang Yinxi's first reaction was nonsense, and her second reaction... well, it seemed to be the standard answer.

She fell silent.

"Your mother asked about your boyfriend in the first sentence," Min Jun said softly, "but I mentioned that you called me, and she immediately asked what you said, and I said you worked hard for the exam , she doesn't think it's a waste of time like you said, asking if you have a good meal and rest."

"In front of me..." Yang Yinxi still felt the sting when thinking about the ridicule she heard before, and complained, "She didn't If you say that, just scold me."

Min Jun sighed, "Maybe the way of expression is wrong, but your mother cares about you and is afraid that you will have a bad life, so she keeps you by her side and asks who your boyfriend is. What, I want to take good care of you."

Emotionally, Yang Yinxi understands this truth, but the lump in her heart that is scolded by her mother cannot be eliminated by Min Jun's words, so she actively changes the subject, "Tell her What?"

"Tell me about your plan for the exam."

Yang Yinxi's heart suddenly rose, "What did she say?"

"Let's see your results this time."

Yang Yinxi's heart fell to the ground, broken In pieces, muttering, "I thought you had already convinced her..."

"Your mother has a prejudice, thinking that young people don't understand anything." Min Jun said helplessly, "I talked about the examination system in S City, and gave many examples of passing the exam, and even said that the unit you are suitable for applying for is someone I know from my family. ...She still thinks that your development in your hometown is the most reliable."

"Ah..." Yang Yinxi was disappointed.

Min Jun softened her voice and acted coquettishly, "I tried my best, don't be angry with me." "

How come that! You did a great job!" Yang Yinxi praised without hesitation.

There was a hint of a smile in Min Jun's voice, "Really?"

"Really!" Yang Yinxi said solemnly, "It's already remarkable that you didn't quarrel with my mother." "Try not to

quarrel with your mother." Min Jun said seriously.

Yang Yinxi asked in a low voice, "Have you never quarreled with your mother?"

"There was such an impulse, but..." Min Jun drew the tone.

Yang Yinxi pricked up her ears, "What?"

"My brother rushed up to argue first, we have to line up."

"..."

——The

next day, Yang Yinxi deliberately picked her parents to get up after going to work, brush her teeth, wash her face and move. When I went to the dining table, I found that the breakfast prepared by my parents was rich and varied. There were hot steamed dumplings downstairs that required a long queue, and horseshoe pork buns from the steamed stuffed bun shop just across the bus station. Freshly ground fragrant soy milk, and...

Yang Yinxi pinched the small post-it note on the corner of the table, looked at the short line of words on it, "I'm sorry, Mom."

She was stunned, her fingertips trembling.

Sitting down numbly, Yang Yinxi ate the still warm breakfast, wiped her mouth when she was done, and sent a message to her mother, "The breakfast is delicious, thank you mother."

She also added a cute little milk cat emoji.

Five minutes later, Yang Yinxi washed the breakfast dishes and looked back to see her mother's reply.

"You ate this cat?"

Yang Yinxi's mouth twitched.

It seems that mom doesn't quite understand what emoticons are all about.

She collected herself and replied, "I'm going to buy vegetables. What do you want to eat

?

" , rushed to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy vegetables.

She used to be lazy, and she often started a small kitchen on weekends, and she was fascinated by picking up vegetables behind Wei Lanxue, who was smart and picky. After being with Min Jun, let alone, she often went shopping hand in hand. With such a lethal voice, she remembered every sentence clearly. Gradually, when she arrived at the vegetable market, she would no longer be at a loss as if she had strayed into it.

The beef was fresh in the morning. She bought some beef brisket, and then bought fruits and peppers that her mother talked about all day long to be good for her health. She picked potatoes and vegetables.

After returning home, Yang Yinxi thought of the stewed beef brisket she had eaten, and her shameless pestering while cooking, "I won't go out, I'll stand aside obediently and don't get in the way!"

Min Jun nodded her cheek at that time, " You don't need to go out, it's very simple."

"Huh?"

Min Jun blinked, "You can learn it too."

Yang Yinxi really learned it.

She took advantage of the time when her parents were off work, and cooked beef brisket stew, shredded green peppers and potatoes, and fried vegetables that were not very colorful but could be seen. After her parents arrived home, she just came out of the pot, and her mother was stunned for a long time, washing her hands. The steps are false.

"Try it." Yang Yinxi has eaten it herself, the meat is tender and the juice is thick, but it is a bit salty.

Mom held up her chopsticks and took a sip.

Yang Yinxi watched eagerly.

"Oh." Mom said with a serious expression.

Yang Yinxi was puzzled, and picked up her own chopsticks to try, "Isn't it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Mom praised the dish, but her face was not happy, and she suddenly grabbed her hand and looked at it for a while.

Under Min Jun's urging, her hands should be covered with hand cream after dipping in some dish soap and chalk dust. They are white and tender, and her nails are much more trimmed than before. They are very neat and round, not like hers at all. What a rough girl should have. Seeing her mother looking at her hands, Yang Yinxi panicked, "Mom, what are you looking at..." "It's okay if your

hands are not thick." Her mother is not on the same channel as her, and said seriously, "Your cooking skills have become so Well, I thought your boyfriend made you cook every day and made you suffer..."

   When she was in the second grade of elementary school, Yang Yinxi's mother's unit held a volleyball match, and she started practicing as soon as she got off work for honor, and she didn't remember to go home until seven or eight o'clock. It happened that her father was on a business trip, and Yang Yinxi was hungry, so instead of going downstairs to find her mother on the volleyball court, she dug out dried noodles from the dining cabinet and cooked them with soy sauce. When my mother came back to see it, she was very touched, touched her head and said, "Oh, I'll make it for my mother when I grow up."

Yang Yinxi was young and ignorant, because the noodles with soy sauce were unpalatable, she firmly opposed it, "No, it's very delicious. It's unpalatable."

Mom patted her angrily, "I'll make delicious ones in the future!"

Yang Yinxi's answer was only one sentence, "Mom, I'm not full."

"..." Mom sighed helplessly, accepting her fate cook for her. However, my mother saw that she finally had a sensible behavior. She upgraded the soy sauce noodles to tomato beef noodles and publicized it among neighbors, colleagues and relatives, saying that she was extremely obedient and wanted to take care of the family's meals.

It still didn't happen.

Many years later, when Yang Yinxi thought of this incident, she felt an indescribable sense of shame and an unforgettable sense of guilt—after so many years, her level still failed to reach the level of tomato beef noodles, at most it was the level of tomato egg noodles Well...

She felt that if she cooked every day, her mother would be very happy.

Who knows that this day is coming, but mother is holding her hand instead, afraid that she will suffer from housework?

Yang Yinxi's hands were pinched closer, and when she lowered her head, she could see her mother's frowning eyebrows. Looking down, she saw the overlapping hands of their mother and daughter. One was delicate and smooth, and the other was wrinkled. No more annoying chatter.

"Does he often ask you to cook?"

Mom asked several times before Yang Yinxi came back to her senses and shook her head, "No, she usually does it."

"He taught you?" Mom smiled.

Yang Yinxi saw the fine lines in the corners of her mother's eyes when she smiled, she was speechless for a moment, she pursed her lips and nodded.

My mother is fair-skinned and thin, and she knows how to dress up better than her. She is sharp and energetic, and her loud voice looks particularly vigorous. Standing next to her gray-haired father, she doesn't seem to be the same age at all. Yang Yinxi went shopping with her mother, and every time she heard others praise her mother for looking young, it didn't look like she had a daughter who had given birth to a child, and she hadn't changed since she was a child.

She also thought that her mother would not change or grow old.

Yang Yinxi is usually careless, and can be cured if there is delicious food, but when it comes to family affection, she has no resistance, and her tears are so low that even if her mother doesn't say anything, even if there is a table of hot dishes waiting to be eaten, Still with a sore nose and the urge to cry, she hooked her mother's hand and leaned over, coquettishly calling, "Mom~" "

Huh?" Mom was holding the vegetables, instinctively dodging her head that was about to be pressed down.

Yang Yinxi almost fell off the table, stood still, and said softly, "You said that cooking is hard work, but you have been cooking for so many years..." "I can't help it." Mom said calmly, "Your father

cooks It's so unpalatable."

"..." Yang Yinxi's tears retracted a little, and the moving emotions dissipated a lot.

The next second, my mother tasted the green vegetables, which were slightly salty after cooking, but she still praised "delicious".

Yang Yinxi was moved again, "Mom... I'll make it for you every day from now on."

"Huh?" Mom sat down by herself and gave a mouthful of food, "No, I'm going to another unit to study tomorrow. The corner of Yang

Yinxi's mouth twitched.

"It's fine if you know how to cook. When you're not at home these few years, your dad and I like to eat in the cafeteria. It's very convenient to get food on the next few floors. When we go home, we have to buy vegetables, fry one and cool it... ...Hey, if we don't come back in the future, you can cook and eat by yourself." "

..." Yang Yinxi sighed quietly, "Oh."

It seems that the sensational mode is not suitable for their family.

She sat down, put the rice on the table, and put the lid back on the rice cooker. As soon as Dad came home, he went into the study and didn't know what he was busy with. The two of them took it easy and ate their own food. Yang Yinxi remembered that there was such a person as Dad in the middle of eating, and shouted loudly. Mom was startled by her, Tucao, "Leave him alone, he will come over to eat when he's hungry."

Yang Yinxi couldn't laugh or cry, "If he doesn't come home, will he forget to eat?"

"I don't know." Mom answered casually.

Yang Yinxi was unable to support her forehead, and was about to call out again, when her mother suddenly interrupted, "Wait, you said your boyfriend cooks for you...you live together?"

She was dumbfounded.

"Isn't it?" Mom put down the chopsticks and asked with a serious face.

Coincidentally, her father forgot to eat before, but when her mother pressed her to ask, she happened to come over, and she became anxious when she heard the word "cohabitation", "What, are you living with your boyfriend?" "

... Facing the stares of her parents, Yang Yinxi really didn't have the courage to tell the truth, and replied in a low voice, "No... I didn't live with my boyfriend."

She thought, this is not a lie, the person she lives with is her
