Chapter 5 Chapter 5

By the time Huan Hui was able to sit soberly at the breakfast table, the stock market had already dropped by 1,100 points. His mother had guessed rightly that the lesson had silenced him, but his sister saw that his eyes were out of focus and his energy was low. Huan Mei took the opportunity to ask him, "How much did you buy and how much did you lose?" He just replied, "Don't ask." "You can tell me, I won't tell anyone, Maodou, I've kept all the secrets for you since I was a child." "Everything is in the past, I have learned my lesson, Eyebrow, don't ask any more."

Huanmei always felt that his complexion was not good. Huan Hui hugged his sister tightly, "Don't worry about me, you know?" "Then I want you to follow me now: Huan Hui will be a good boy in the future." Huan Hui asked: "Do you remember Ai Ziyou? I will take her home for dinner." "She's such a good kid." "Midou, I heard that you also have a new friend, how about inviting him to join?" "Not yet." "My eyebrow, for some reason, I suddenly want to get married." "You, Huan Hui?" His sister was taken aback and pointed at him, "Who do you want to harm?"

Huan Hui bowed his head and remained silent. Huan Mei immediately regretted that he shouldn't hit him when he was not happy. So he quickly said: "Okay, you go to register first, and I will follow." Huan Hui suddenly asked: "Do you think there will be someone willing to marry us?" Huan Mei was startled, and immediately forced a smile and said: "Why not, one after another." But Huan Hui didn't laugh. Huan Mei also felt an atmosphere of forced laughter. It seemed like it was all over. This city is very talented, no matter what kind of wound it is, it can quickly stop the bleeding and heal without a trace.

Only the old driver is still complaining: "I don't want to die. Four yuan and nine and a half will fall to five cents and three cents. I don't know when I can go back to my hometown." Huan Mei didn't sympathize with him very much either, and he had to admit defeat if he was willing to gamble. Before Huanhui changed her mind, she had been reborn, and now the two siblings often have dinner with their mother at home. Mrs. Huan felt happy at first, but later became a little worried, "Go out, you go out to play." She was flattered and couldn't bear it, so she hoped to return to the old status quo.

Huan Hui seemed to be a different person. Huan Mei always didn't believe that he would learn to be good, so he inquired about his father. "Dad, Maodou wants to start a family." Huan Xingbo was noncommittal. Huan Mei carefully watched her father's expression, she didn't see any change, she felt relieved, she didn't believe that such a big accident would have no sequelae, as long as her father showed any clues, she would question him to the end. She wanted her father to talk about Huan Hui, but his father wanted to talk about her, "When did you decide to be a good daughter?"

Huan Mei thought about it, I already had the answer, when I realized that giving up on myself was of no help, but I said in my mouth: "I have been a good daughter since I was born." Huan Xingbo smiled, "Really, are you? " "There are too many misunderstandings involuntarily." Huan Xingbo recollected this sentence, and immediately had mixed feelings, and immediately said quietly, "You ask Huan Hui to bring that girl back and let's have a look." Hey, both father and son are sincere. On the day Ai Ziyou came up, he was wearing expensive casual clothes that are popular among girls nowadays, a sailor-collared navy blue sweater with white strips and a wide skirt, with his hands in his pockets, and his black hair tied loosely behind his head with a ribbon. Huan Hui followed Behind her, holding her schoolbag for her, he just picked her up from the tutor.

When Huanmei saw freedom this time, he realized why he had a special affection for her. She was like Huanmei from a few years ago. The person holding the schoolbag that day was Deng Zongping. Huan Mei greeted Zi Zi, "Please sit down, my mother will come down immediately." Freedom smiled at Huanhui, stretching on the sofa without feeling reserved at all. Huan Mei was deeply moved, not long ago, she was such an innocent and lovely little girl, if she could find her back then, it would be worth traveling all over the world. At this moment, she only hopes that the emotional path of freedom will be smoother than that of Huanmei.

Huan Hui was a little nervous, "I'm going to urge mother." Huan Mei took advantage of him to walk away and asked Zi Zi: "What do you think of Huan Hui?" Free and frank, "Treat me very well, I like him very much." Huanmei smiled, "How do you like it?" Freedom is not shy, "I like it very much." Huan Mei suddenly asked for no reason: "If he is not the Huan Hui of today, do you still like him?" Freedom asked in amazement: "Can people divide yesterday, today, and tomorrow?" "Okay, people change." "No," Liberty laughed, "you mean the environment will change."

"Yes." This little girl is really interesting. "The environment will not be worse than it is now. Huan Hui said that many people are using his status to have plans against him." He said that?Huan Mei was greatly surprised, she always thought that he liked those people and had that kind of relationship. It seems that the brothers and sisters don't know enough. "He said he was a little bored, and that if he had the chance, he would like to find a small town with a beautiful scenery to live in seclusion." Huanmei thought it was funny, he, Maodou?She didn't believe it, it was just a momentary loss of interest.

Mrs. Huan came down and welcomed Liberty upstairs to the small reception room. Huan Mei did not follow. The old driver hurried over, "Miss, please, Mr. Huan wants that black briefcase." Huan Mei went into the study to get it for him, and asked, "What does he want the briefcase for? Didn't he say he would come back for dinner?" "Look at me, I almost forgot," the old driver patted his forehead, "Mr. Huan and Mr. Ran are talking about business, so we don't have dinner." Huan Mei was taken aback, she had asked her father's permission beforehand for this day, and he didn't go home for the appointment, so it could be seen that there was something urgent, Huan Mei knew her father's temper, he always liked to take the initiative, today canceled a date to accommodate another, it can be seen that he was passive , Not only urgent, but also a little bit involuntary.

Discuss business with Ran Zhenbin. Huan Mei suddenly thought of Ye Katie who was sitting next to Ran, she stretched out her hand to pat her chest, not too rich in associations. "Brow beans, eyebrow beans." When she heard the call, she walked into the dining room and sat down, saying, "Dad has something to do, so he won't be coming back." Unexpectedly, when Huan Hui heard this, his hands trembled, and half a bowl of soup poured out. Liberty quickly took the napkin and wiped his hands for him. Huan Mei sees it, and realizes that freedom is also very good to Huan Hui. Mrs. Huan said to Liberty: "Don't be surprised, men in the Huan family always regard work as their second life." Liberty smiled and said nothing. Huan Mei is sure that Huan Hui eats like her but doesn't know the taste. All I heard was that Mrs. Huan asked more than a thousand questions without bothering to find out about the Ai family's house. Eunmei only heard Zi Zi answer: "My parents have passed away, and I have lived with my brother and sister-in-law for more than ten years. I really want to have my own family." Huanmei knew that his mother would like this simple but not dull girl. She let the two of them continue their conversation, gave Huanhui a wink, and left the dinner table. Huan Hui walked with her to the corridor, and she quietly asked, "What new plans does Dad and Ran Zhenbin have?" Huan Hui forced a smile, "I only know that Ran Zhenbin is going to marry Ye Katie." "what?" "Can't believe it, Katie finally got everything she wanted. The two siblings looked at each other and smiled wryly. Huan Hui sighed: "Now I know that I was too aggressive. Huan Mei always protected the eldest brother, "Ran Zhenbin is completely different from you, he can make decisions, but you cannot." "Katie won't forgive me." "Do we need her forgiveness?" "If you still want to discuss business with Ran Zhenbin, we need it." Huanmei said: "Don't underestimate Ran Zhenbin, there are no fathers and sons in the mall, and there is no enmity, only profit." "Young Eyebrow, I've always felt that your brain is far superior to mine." "Is this a compliment? Is it better to be better than you?" Speaking of which, the gate opened and their father returned. "Huanhui, come with me." Huan Mei hurriedly said: "Father, Miss Ai is here." Huan Xingbo didn't seem to hear what his daughter said, and walked straight into the study, Huan Hui had no choice but to leave his girlfriend behind and follow behind his father. Liberty came over and asked, "Where's Huanhui?" Mrs. Huan laughed: "The father and son have something to say." Huan Mei patted Zi Zi on the shoulder: "I will drive you home." That's the good thing about freedom, it's very easy to negotiate, she nodded.Lifting the schoolbag, there is no unpleasant look. In the car, the official marriage asked: "Liberty, how do you know Huanhui?" "My brother is Junlong's employee." "Ah." Huanmei smiled, it was that simple. Ai's house is located in one of the forest-like residential buildings, and he freely and clearly guides Huanmei to drive the car into a rather narrow road. Zi Zi smiled and said, "Compared to the eunuch's house, this is not an ideal place to live." Huan Mei immediately replied: "But you look much happier than me." Liberty didn't answer, smiled and waved, and went upstairs. Huan Mei thinks she is very interesting, Huan Hui has his own blessing. She drove the car towards Nie's house. Reason with yourself as you drive: he may not be home, may not welcome unexpected visitors, may be greeting a friend. Maybe...their relationship has not reached the point where the woman can appear at any time. The reason is reasonable, Huan Mei's hands are not obedient at all, he drove the car to the outskirts, into the private road of Nie's house, and then stopped. As soon as the engine was turned off, her heart also calmed down. She put her face on the steering wheel and did not move. After a while, she sighed, started the car again, turned around quickly, and drove towards the main road. When I looked up, I saw a man in sportswear, standing at the intersection, with his arms crossed over his chest, and asked with a smile, "Miss, are you looking for someone?" Huan Mei breathed a sigh of relief and stopped the car. He must have heard the sound of the engine. Nie Youyou walked over and said with a smile, "It's a hot car." Huan Mei got out of the car, "This is not my car." "Tell me its story." "Do you have good food and wine?" "Whatever you say." Huan Mei wrapped his arms around his, raised his head and smiled. His home is so comfortable, that kind of old-fashioned large sofa, always covered with a snow-white cover, you can smell the freshly starched scent when you get close to the nose, and you don't want to get up when you lie down. Nie Shangshang is a good host. As soon as the guest enters the door, he knows what she wants. She doesn't need to say a word, he has already served her comfortably by looking at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes. "I thought you weren't home." "I just came back." "And thought that a strong girl with snow-white skin and blood-red lips would have to answer the door." "It was a miracle, I just sent her away at the back door." Huan Mei had to admire his coping skills, "What are you doing?" "You really want to know?" Huan Mei hesitated, his face turned red for no reason, what he did in his home alone was his privacy, so he really told her, she was the one who was afraid of embarrassment. "follow me." He pulled her up from the sofa, and she was still uneasy. He had already opened the kitchen door with one hand, and the incomparable and unique sweet aroma of chocolate came out of his nostrils. He saw a large pile of freshly baked chocolate biscuits on the wire shelf on the marble table. , Each piece is as big as a palm. Huan Mei couldn't help shouting, "Nie Youshang, I love you." Without asking the owner's consent, he opened his mouth to bite after grabbing a piece. Nie Youyou opened a bottle of champagne, poured a glass for her, and asked with a smile: "Love me, is this the reason for marriage?" With him, always prevailing, and so pleasant, incredible. "You've lost weight," he said, "you might as well eat two more." "I'm thin? You should talk about Huanhui." Nie Jun was silent. "You have business dealings with him, please let me know if there is any injustice." Nie Jun stared at her, "Is that why you came today?" "Frankly, I'm a little concerned." "Please listen to my analysis. Even if there is any major event, Huan Xingbo can still control the situation. If even he finds it difficult, what's the use of worrying?" "You can't hear the wind at all?" Nie Jun shook his head. Huanmei knew that he lied to her. But she was grateful to him, and honestly, there was nothing she could do. "When you come to me, don't worry about it anymore." "If you drink any more, you won't be able to drive." "I know where you're going." "where?" "Weak Water Penglaixi." He can't be bothered, he always knows when to say something. Huan Mei closed his eyes and sighed softly. She didn't claim all the chocolate chip cookies, but she did drink a bottle of champagne by herself. Still insisting on driving, Nie Youyou had to sit beside her to escort her. She remembers very clearly how she got home, she was not drunk, it is only acceptable for women to be drunk before the age of nineteen, after that, it is better to be sober in everything. She ran into the study. She didn't see Huan Hui, his father was sitting alone with her head on his back. She went over to call him, he raised his head, Huan Mei suddenly noticed that her father was already haggard. Huan Mei pretended to be okay, stood beside his father for a while, wanted to talk, but felt that he had nothing to say, and quietly left the study. She understood now why her mother rarely talked to her father. All because I don't know where to start. Huan Hui locked himself in the room all night, and his sister saw that the light at the bottom of the door stayed on all night, so she knew that Maodou was not asleep. Neither did eyebrow beans. At dawn, she fell asleep leisurely. Suddenly, she felt like she was in a lobby with hundreds of people sitting in rows, as if they were having a party. In a blink of an eye, she saw a fire in the building next door, black smoke billowing out from the window, and someone said: "Evacuate, evacuate." Everyone stood up Walking towards the gate in an orderly manner, Huan Mei suddenly saw her mother in front of her, stumbling and flustered, she hurriedly called out: "Mom, mom, I'm here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." She went and held on to her mother's hand tightly. , woke up with a start. She opened her eyes and saw Xu Qinian standing at the head of the bed. "Did you drink too much last night?" Xu Qinian smiled, Huan Mei looked at her in astonishment, this person recovered quickly, as if nothing happened. "How did you come?" "Help Master Lingtang choose clothes." "The season changes at this time?" "You always have to wear new clothes for a wedding." "Where does joy come from?" "Huan Hui is getting married." Seeing this, Eunmei said it and it became true, she jumped out of bed, "How about you, Miss Xu, are you not busy with business?" Xu Qinian replied: "For the public relations department, everything is business." Huanmei laughed, "Jun Long really can't do without you." Miss Xu also laughed, "I just want to create this illusion." "I'll just wash my face." "When is your turn?" Huan Mei was startled, "Me?" He sneered. "I've heard that your boyfriend beats you up." Huanmei turned his head and continued, "Red, yellow, blue, white and black are all available, isn't it?" There was indeed such a sentence, and Xu Qinian was very embarrassed. Eunmei put on his clothes, "Is it better to be famous?" Xu Qinian quickly mocked and said: "I made a mistake. Junlong fired several old officials in succession. If I don't pay attention to my mouth, sooner or later it will be my turn to pack up." The eunuch asked, "Who should be expelled?" Xu Qinian said a few names. They were all the people who accompanied Huanhui in and out and walked closely. It seems that the father was really angry and killed without mercy. Huan Mei took Miss Xu's hand, "Come on, let's go down and see how Mrs. Huan plans to fix her makeup." Mrs. Huan was in her room. As soon as Huan Mei entered, he saw the bed and sofa covered with fabrics all over the floor, glittering and shivering. Two female staff members of the silk forging shop were standing beside them, smiling and serving patiently. , from time to time put the material on the eunuch's wife, pointing out the advantages. No wonder Xu Qinian wanted to go there to ask for reinforcements, how long would it take to go like this, eun-mei had to say a few words, and the battle must be done quickly. "My eyebrow, eyebrow, come and help me." She finally found spiritual sustenance. Huanmei decided to have fun with it, jumped into the pile of clothes, pulled up a piece of peach red feather gauze inlaid with silver thread, wrapped it around his waist a few times like sand, shook the whole thing out, threw it over his shoulders, and then Pulled the gauze material from behind to cover the head, clasped his hands together, and said: I am Maharani of Punjab. " Several women in the room were stooping with laughter. While having fun, someone knocked lightly on the door. Huanmei raised her head, "Modou, come in, we are going to pick out the clothes for the bride-to-be." "Young eyebrow, please come out." Eunmei had no choice but to remove the layers of gauze from his body, and went into the side hall with his brother. She preemptively said: "I heard that many old men in Junlong retired early and returned to their hometowns because of you?" "Brow Dou," Huan Hui answered irrelevantly, "I have something to discuss with you." He is serious. "Edamame, you know you can trust me." Huan Hui said: "Father and Ran Zhenbin went to discuss something last night." "I know, it didn't work out." "You guessed it?" "You can tell by his face." "I believe the failure was because of Ye Katie." "Modou, don't be ridiculous, Ran Zhenbin is not that kind of person." "I'm going to meet Katie." Huanmei stood up, "Modou, you are overthinking, I know you are eager to take the blame and make meritorious service, but this is not the right way." "I need to find out." Huan Mei said, "Katie hates us to the bone, you know that." Huan Hui sighed and rubbed his hands. "When have you ever worried about these things?" Huan Mei asked with a smile. Huan Hui took a look. "If it would make it easier for you to be insulted by Katie, how about I be the scapegoat for you?" Huan Hui raised his head, "Are you willing to sacrifice for me?" "You are my brother." "Young Eyebrow, you have always made me cry the most." "Don't worry, Maodou, I'm sure father has the ability to make up for any mistakes." Huan Hui nodded, "I'm going back to the bank." "Hey." Huan Hui turned his head. "Are you really going to get married?" "Liberty and I are engaged next month." "Congratulations." There was no joy on Huan Hui's face.No wonder, it wasn't him who hosted the wedding, but the eunuch wife. That afternoon, she ordered Huan Mei to accompany Zi Zi to choose a dress. The eunuch said: "Freedom, the old matriarch's imperial conquest, I love you so much." Freedom is just laughing. As soon as Huanmei saw Deng Zongping as soon as he entered the store, Huanmei's heart almost jumped out of his throat involuntarily. What is he doing in this kind of place? Is it possible to order a uniform and prepare for a small admission. Huan Mei stood blankly at the door, and Xiao Deng also saw her at this time, with a look of astonishment, the two stared at each other for a long while, and it was Mrs Huan who greeted him first: "Zong Ping, let me introduce you, this Ai Miss is our Huanhui's fiancée." Deng Zongping came back to his senses, "Ah, Huan Hui is getting married?" Mrs. Huan asked with a smile, "What about you, Zong Ping, who are you coming with?" "I'll be my brother's best man." Huan Mei breathed a sigh of relief, but the shock just now had already made her haggard. She put her hands in her coat pockets, watching her mother and the designer whisper. Deng Zongping finally walked out of the fitting room, stood quietly beside her, and asked after a while, "Do you make wedding clothes for others?" Huan Mei raised her head, "Have you been busy recently?" "No." "Why didn't I hear your voice?" "I have decided that if there is no better reason, I will not appear for no reason like last time." "You've been mean." "It's better for everyone." Huanmei smiled, "You also know how to control yourself best." "I hated myself for this all my life." Huan Mei was silent. Deng Zongping went to say goodbye to the eunuch wife, congratulated Ai Ziyou, and then left the dress shop. Mrs. Huan said: "If there is no better style, we will go to Europe to buy it." Freedom held the pattern and gently asked Huanmei: "You still love him, and he still loves you, why?" When Huan Mei heard such intimate words, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes flicked, and two tears that she was holding carefully flowed down and fell onto the pattern. She quickly said: "Liberty, you are so naive." She turned her face away and wiped away her haggardness. Huan's wife complained: "It's too difficult to prepare for a wedding in one month. It's better to take it slowly in half a year." Eunmei said, "Beware of them elope." After a long while of hustle and bustle, I finally picked out a style imitating the subtle beauty of the 1950s, specifying that it should be sewn with ivory white silk satin. But Mrs. Huan was anxious again, "What do you wear for engagement?" Huan Mei said wearily, "I need a cup of strong tea." "Okay, we'll come back later." Liberty still maintains the same smile, standing upright, waiting by his side. This little girl is not simple, Huan Mei began to admire her. The three of them hadn't reached the teahouse yet, and Mrs. Huan clamored to look at the jewelry again. Normally, Huan Mei would have yelled for help and fled away, but today is a special day, and it's rare for my mother to find an excuse to be happy. A daughter is obliged to accompany her crazy. When she turned her head to catch her breath, Li Zi gave her an encouraging look, Huan Mei could only smile. The manager was greeting them, and the staff opened the door and let in another guest. The female guest was wearing a set of royal blue clothes, which made her skin as smooth as snow and radiant. Huan Mei nodded towards her, and she also nodded reservedly. At the same time, Mrs. Huan and Liberty were looking down at a set of necklaces and earrings. Huanmei knew that her mother must have seen someone in this small shop early in the morning, but she always had the ability to turn a blind eye. Huan Mei had already learned the truth from her mother, but this time she had a mission, so she said, "Hello, Katie." Katie sat down next to her, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Huanmei, Huanmei was a little flattered, didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, and didn't believe that there would be people who would not hold grudges in the world, so he took the cigarette first. The clerk took out a necklace and hung it up for her, and Ye Katie felt sorry for herself. Huan Mei thought to himself that he couldn't be too humble in front of her, so he smiled slightly and said, "You're rich." Katie turned her head and smiled softly, "Think about it, naturally the sky is wide and the sea is wide." These words are very interesting, Huan Mei took the opportunity to say: "I'm thirsty, how about a cup of tea?" "Okay." Ye Katie was still willing to be seen sitting at the table with the rich family's daughter, to prove that she can eat well and have friendship. Huanmei and Katie pushed open the glass door and went out. Neither Mrs. Huan nor Ai Ziyou raised their heads and let them leave. This further shows that they fully understand what happened. These days, who is not a fox. Katie smiled and asked, "The one who has discussed with Lingtang is your future sister-in-law, right?" Katie had heard of it, of course. Huan Mei found a seat with her and sat down. Katie added: "There will always be someone in the world who will come without effort or sweat, and that person is not you." "Why did Hao Duan Duan drag me into it again?" "A person's fate is good or bad, not at all because of what he did or didn't do." "Katie, you're doing well, too." She smiled wryly in frustration, "Listen, fool, with luck you won't use this word." "Katie, living with someone like Huan Hui is not a blessing." Huan Mei suddenly understood that Katie didn't mind who was sitting opposite, she just wanted to vomit her bitterness, and Huan Mei was the best audience, Huan Mei knew every protagonist in the story. This does not mean that Katie will settle down with her, so Huan Mei must seize this rare opportunity. "I heard that Mr. Ran treats you very well." Katie nodded. "And we're going to be officially married soon." "I was afraid when I heard these two words. I never thought of it. I have been dreaming The opportunity to ask, when it does come, is rejected. " Eunmei was surprised, "You didn't promise him?" Katie said, "Like you, I want to be in love." Huan Mei slowly set her words: "However, I still want to gain power and influence." "You?" Katie teased, "I can't tell." "Mr. Ran is not interested in cultivating you?" "Maybe you will give me some shares, but a man's business is still a man's business." Huan Mei had already received the information she wanted, and still kept his composure, he said with a smile: "So, you don't plan to listen to politics behind the curtain." "You're kidding, I want to retire right now more than ever." "I see, it's probably because Mr. Ran doesn't want you to work hard." Katie woke up suddenly, and looked at Huanmei suspiciously, "You seem to be very interested in my affairs." Huanmei smiled, "You are a legend in the city." "Your eunuchs know Ran Zhenbin very well, right?" "Yeah, so I'm worried that one day I'll call you auntie." "Don't worry, I'm still Miss Ye." Huanmei suddenly persuaded her, "It's not rude to be Mrs. Ran, there are many kinds of feelings, Mr. Ran is well educated, has shoulders, as the saying goes, has status and status, don't underestimate him." Ye Katie smiled, and went on to say: "The firework woman marrying him is an ideal destination, and she is worthy of envy." When Huan Mei looked up, she saw Huan Hui walking towards them, what happened, all the people crowded into this shopping mall all afternoon. Katie naturally also saw Huan Hui, her smile remained the same, her expression was calm, but her trembling fingers betrayed her. Huan Hui nodded towards his sister, and then walked to the other end of the corridor. Katie said, "I'm going, thank you for the tea." "Katie—" "Forget it, I will never listen to what you said. In short, I am not a bad person, and you are not a bad person, okay?" "Katie, Huan Hui is not a bad person." "I do not know then." Katie walked away in high heels, with a brilliant appearance and a heart full of holes. Huan Mei was just about to pay the bill when her elder brother appeared, pulled out the sofa chair and sat down. At this time, the teahouse was full, people around were chatting loudly, the band started to play again, and the third-rate violinist pulled a Sanskrit dumbbell like a ghost, making the disturbed people even more disturbed. "What did she say?" Huan Hui asked. "She doesn't know anything." "really?" "I inquired very carefully. She doesn't understand Ran Zhenbin's business affairs." Huan Hui complained, "You let Katie hide it, she has an intention." Huanmei felt that it was difficult to be a good person, "I have tried my best." Huanhui is silent. "Mom is here." Huan Mei stood up. The eunuch is holding the future daughter-in-law, and the other hand is full of large and small bags. Ai Ziyou sat down casually, just sitting on Ye Kaiti's seat just now. Huanmei saw it in his eyes and couldn't help thinking, who is beside Deng Zongping at this moment? Ai Ziyou was already wearing an oval-shaped diamond ring on her right ring finger, and she stretched out her hand for the eunuch to see. Huan Mei didn't care to watch that, the siblings stood up almost at the same time, "Mom, take your time to rest, we have to leave first."
