Chapter 10 chapter Ten

Although Wan Ying saw through Yu Nan early on and didn't expect her daughter to be filial to her, she still felt angry for them; moreover, she was too infatuated with her two sons and pinned all her hopes on them. After Yu Nan came to Beijing, the two brothers Only went home once, and never heard from him again.It was Saturday that Wanying had a stomachache.She specially cooked a lot of dishes, and wrote to her son in advance to tell her that the family had settled down. She arranged a bedroom for their brothers. Saturday was her 40th birthday. She asked the two brothers to go home to have a meal for their mother Here, stay overnight and then go back to school.They haven't heard back.Having eaten noodles at noon, Wanying waited and waited until evening, not giving up, and left food for them.

Yu Zhao was no longer impatient and said: "Mom, you are just stupid and can't make progress. You should learn from Dad, face reality, and accept new things! What good food! It's not sugar-coated!" Her language expressed her My thinking has suddenly improved a lot in the near future. Yu Nan echoed and said, "College students nowadays not only study business, but also study politics. Don't hold them back. I asked you to cook two dishes for the Fu's next door. Good neighborly, you just listen!" "They don't know me." "Ah, as a neighbor, I have to send two bowls of noodles! If you deliver it yourself, don't you know each other?"

Wanying said: "Is this still okay now? I'm afraid of making a joke." Yu Nan coughed hard and said, "Open your eyes and see, what kind of virtuous housewife just cares about oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar now! Fu Jin is the vice president in power, and he happens to be next door. It's strange how polite he is. Even if People don't appreciate it, but you are a housewife anyway, so you are not afraid of jokes." After he finished speaking, he went to Ding Baogui's house for dinner.Ding Baogui is his new drinking buddy.Come and go often, to inquire about some news and old things in the agency.

Yu Zhao yelled that he was hungry, and urged for dinner.She took care of herself to eat enough of the good ones, left her job, and found someone to help her learn to ride a bicycle. After a busy day, Wanying was tired and angry.She still had fantasies about her two sons, but they didn't care about her at all.She barely ate the next bowl of rice and suffered from stomach problems. She found that it was not the doctor who came to treat her illness, but Miss Yao who was said to have lost her fiancé because of her mother.Don't look at her slender fingers, but she has great strength. It's really comfortable to massage her.Thinking of her daughter, she couldn't help feeling pity and love for Miss Yao, and it was inconvenient to keep her at that time.A few days later, I specially made a yellow chicken and a mandarin fish, and I personally carried them to Yao's house to express my thanks before noon.

She handed the dishes to Shen's mother, introduced herself to Mrs. Yao, and said, "I had trouble with sister Yao last night, and disturbed my old aunt again. I really couldn't bear it, so I made two special dishes to show my heart." Private money can be used to make friends. Mrs. Yao said, "Mrs. Yu, you are not in good health. A neighbor should care about you. You are too polite." Mrs. Yu hurriedly said: "Call me Wanying, I am a generation behind my old aunt." She knew that Mrs. Yao was nearly sixty years old. Mrs. Yao liked Wanying's kindness and sincerity, so she asked her to sit down and gossip, and then explained that her daughter just saw the doctor massage her, and she just learned how to knead.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.Shen's mother brought a tall lady, about fifty years old, wearing an iron-gray damask cheongsam, with a four or five-year-old little girl, wearing a plump purple sweater, with short hair tangled in two. The horns are twisted on the top of the head, and tied with a bow with a big red ribbon.The back of the head is bald.Mrs. Yao stood up on crutches to greet the visitor, and asked the visitor's name. The guest said: "You are Mrs. Yao, right? This is Mrs. Yu! I am Mrs. Xu." Mrs. Yao said, "Mrs. Xu, please sit down."

"Old lady Xu! Mrs. Xu is our young mistress, and Xu Yancheng is my dog." Mrs. Yao looked at the girl's hair, remembered the children Yao Mi described, and guessed who they were.As she offered to sit down, she asked Mrs. Xu who she was looking for and what she could do. The child only looked at people with bare eyes, and suddenly saw Mrs. Yao's crutches, let go, grabbed the crutches, and ran out of the living room waving, beating on the fence. Mrs. Xu didn't care about the child, but said with a smile: "This child is wild! It looks like a boy, but it's just a girl."

She sighed and said: "It's also lucky that she is a woman. Her grandfather and her father have suffered from cold water for two generations. They hurt their wives and sons. If she is a boy, she will not be able to recruit a boy, so I don't expect her to recruit a younger brother." gone." Wan Ying chased after her, caught the child and said, "Xiao Li, give me the cane! You smashed our vase yesterday, and I haven't told Uncle Yu to settle the score with you!" Xiaoli didn't know who Uncle Yu was, and she was a little scared, so she asked Wanying to take back the cane and drag him into the living room.

Mrs. Xu heard that Xiaoli smashed the vase of the Yu family, so she didn't dare to protect the child, she just said: "I'm just for her! I'm four years old! Girls, it is said that girls are most promising to play the piano. This thing has to start in elementary school, so I asked her to learn the piano when she was three and a half years old. I heard that your family has a piano, which is useless now. I will discuss it, borrow our child to use it, or let her come over play, or let us carry the piano back." Mrs. Yao said: "My piano has not been used for many years, and it is broken."

Mrs. Xu said: "It doesn't matter, I can afford to find someone to fix it. Anyway, renting it out or lending it is better than just sitting idle." Mrs. Yao lowered her face and said, "I don't rent out this piano, nor do I lend it out." Wanying couldn't catch Xiaoli, and hurriedly said: "Old lady Xu, you Xiaoli are going home——about the piano, let me talk to the old aunt for you." The old lady Xu is not a shrew, nor is she an imbecile, she is just willful and twisted, she only has herself and never thinks about others.She hit Mrs. Yao's nails, saw Wanying willing to play around with her, and saw the wind tearing up the tent, asking Wanying to "reason" on her behalf, and took the child away.

Wanying sighed and said, "These children deserve discipline. But, old aunt, I didn't flatter you in person. A good daughter like sister Yao is not born out of discipline, but cultivated by my old aunt for several generations. I heard her I admire her, and I like her when I see her." She squeezed Mrs. Yao's hand tightly and said: "Old aunt, I am destined to be your neighbor. If there is anything in the future, let Aunt Shen come and call me. I am an idler. " Mrs. Yao liked her sincerity and asked her to come and sit with her when she was free.As for the piano, Mrs. Yao said that there was no need to mention it. At lunch, Mrs. Yao and her daughter tasted the dishes made by Wanying. Yao Mi said, "Mom, how can we return the courtesy?" Mrs. Yao said that if you don't rush to "punch and go", people come to make friends sincerely.She only asked her daughter if Fu Jin talked to her. Yao Mi said on his mind, "Not yet. But that Chen Shanbao seems to have been looking for me. Fortunately, I hid quickly. I hope I can hide a few more times, so that he won't come looking for me again." That afternoon, the sky was cloudy and snowy, and Chen Shanbao seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to talk to Yao Mi.Just when Xu Yancheng came to the library, he said to her, "Yao Mi, I have something to ask you. Let's go outside and talk, okay?" They were sitting in a corner of the reading room, Yancheng said in a low voice: "My mother came to your house yesterday morning to cause trouble, you know that?" "I know—it's not an accident." "Ms. Yu said it very tactfully, but I know my mother is going to cause trouble. And her temper is extremely stubborn. If she doesn't achieve her goal, she will go on endlessly. It will make you tired. As for me, I suddenly thought of a good way. , I wonder if you agree or not?" He told Yao Mi that he had brought back a new-style record player and many classical music records from abroad, but he could only sit idle because Lilin thought he would make a fuss with the record player.Lilin was afraid of being disturbed when she was studying, so she even took off her watch, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and hid it deep in the drawer, so as not to be distracted by the sound of "tick tock".He thought that Mrs. Yao would like to listen to music. Yao Mi said happily: "I understand what you mean, exchange, don't you?" Yancheng nodded and said: "The piano is placed in our living room for decoration. I am in charge of safekeeping. Xiaoli has no ears at all, and every nursery rhyme she sings is out of tune. What kind of piano does she play? We send him to school and it's over. You can listen to the records. , pastime." "That's great! My mother often reads books, but the doctor doesn't let me read more. She sometimes asks me to play the piano to relieve my boredom, but how can I have time to practice the piano in the past few years? My fingers are stiff. My mother is eager to listen Good music—you can come to our house and listen to it, too." "Is that ok? Thank you. Anyway, I don't use the records, which is exactly the same as your piano. Tonight, Lilin wants me to come to your house with her to apologize to your mother. Lilin must also agree with my suggestion, But I haven't told her yet, I'll ask you first." Yao Mi saw that Shan was on the sidelines.When they finished talking, Shanbao left. Xu Yancheng's suggestion was approved by Lilin and welcomed by Mrs. Yao. The "exchange" matter was settled smoothly by the two parties at once. Yancheng and his wife bid farewell and went out.Mrs. Yao said to her daughter: "This standard beauty looks very smart, but why is she an idiot? She hates listening to music! She said she likes to listen to quiet music. What kind of quiet music is it? It's a love song from a movie. I think she is a bit vulgar, and she is not worthy of her substandard husband." Before Yao Mi could answer, Chen Shanbao came.She had nowhere to hide, so she had to bite the bullet and wait for him to "talk". Chen Shanbao said: "I have been waiting for you for two days, so I have to wait for your guests to leave before coming back. Maybe it is too late." He then told Yao Mi that the leader promoted her to do research work and told her to quickly formulate her own work plan.She doesn't have to write a summary, but she has to finish the bibliography.He said that Yao Mi and he and Jiang Min were considered to have the same education, and Shi Nina, Du Lilin and Xu Yancheng probably also had the same education, right?He didn't know much. "Where is Luo Hou?" "I don't know, he and Jiang Taotao are equal, right? Both Shi Nina and Jiang Taotao will come to our foreign language group in the future." "What are they doing here? - Oh, Shi Nina is an expert in Soviet literature. What is Jiang Taotao's degree and major? Isn't she a writer? Could it be that she also graduated from a graduate school like Luo Hou?" "She used to be in the modern and contemporary group, but we need her here. She sat in on a research class at some college." Yao Mi said: "When will my bibliography be completed? I'll just continue to manage the books, and I don't need to make any research plans." Shanbao made a grimace and said, "Catalogue, just finish compiling the one in your hand and leave it to Shi Nina, you don't care." "What? Leave it to Shi Nina? Isn't she in the foreign language group?" "She also serves as the director of the library." Yao Mi held back and said nothing.As soon as Chen Shanbao left, she said to her mother with a bitter face, "What should I do? There is no way out." Mrs. Yao comforted her and said: "Research work is better than managing books. Besides, Jiang Minzhun has done some work for Shanbao, and he only talked to you about business. Don't think too much about it. Let's listen to records together one day."
