After eating and drinking enough, the two brothers played with the dumplings. They picked out the less spicy ones and gave them a few bites. Finally, they didn't show off the young master's behavior and cooperated with the two little guys to show a bit of obedience and fawning. It was really... …Reality.
Song Hongguo sat on the stone bench under the persimmon tree. She considered her tone and words, put aside the discomfort in her heart, and discussed with them, "I'll have a rest tomorrow and take you two out to play, okay?"
Ling Yuan's first reaction was to cheer for joy. He left the dumplings behind and rushed to her. With a big smile on his face, he kept asking, "Really? Mom, you are finally not busy anymore? Where do you want to take us to play?" "
His beautiful eyes were full of excitement and anticipation. After all, he was a four-year-old child. No matter how sensible and diligent he was, he still wanted to play.
Song Hongguo held him on her lap and asked him, "Where do you want to go?"
Ling Yuan thought for a while and shook his head blankly, "Listen to mother..."
Song Hongguo looked at Ling Zhi, "What about you?"
Compared with Ling Yuan's happiness, Ling Zhi was much calmer, and even had a hint of inexplicable anxiety. He said seriously, "I want to dig yams in the mountains."
Song Hongguo twitched the corner of her mouth, "That's not a joke..."
Lexus insisted, "In my opinion, it's no different from playing."
Song Hongguo smiled helplessly, "Okay, are there any other places you want to play or go?"
Ling Zhi said seriously, "Didn't you pay wages and various tickets yesterday? Let's buy them back as soon as possible. Everything is in short supply now. Buy early and feel at ease, especially grain. I think our grain and oil book has five The quota of more than ten kilograms is enough if you eat carefully. I just don’t know how much refined grains I can buy. It can’t be all sweet potatoes..."
As he talked, he became worried and worried, as if he wished he could go to the commune to buy food right away.
Song Hongguo sighed.
Ling Yuan also sighed in a similar way.
Even the dumpling lying on Song Hongguo's feet stared at Ling Zhi faintly.
Lexus, "..."
Did he say something wrong?
Song Hongguo simply stopped being subtle and said directly, "You two have never been anywhere except the commune and the village. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Boys need to go out more to gain knowledge, so tomorrow I will take you around the county town. If you have time, we can go to the club in the factory to watch a movie. The day after tomorrow we will go to the city. There are more interesting things in the city. The most famous ones are ceramics and colored glaze, which have thousands of years of history. By then , let you experience it for yourself, as well as the most famous local dishes..."
Ling Yuan's eyes brightened when he heard this.
Ling Zhi became more and more suspicious and uneasy. He asked, "Are we just the three of us going?"
Song Hongguo's eyes flashed. The child matured too early. For a new mother, it was definitely a happy and sad thing. If she didn't understand anything, she would be more comfortable. At this moment, she faced such a pair of With his mature eyes, he felt awkward about confessing his love to the elders in his family. He cleared his throat and said as calmly as possible, "No, there is another uncle."
Hearing this, Ling Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
Ling Yuan blinked and looked at her, asking in a sweet voice, "Which uncle are you?"
Song Hongguo said, "The uncle you met was that time at the Oriental Hotel and the uncle we sat and ate with at the Xiguan Grand Market. His name is Huo Minglou, he works at the main factory research institute, and he belongs to your Grandpa Zhou. student……"
After talking about it, she became more and more calm, "We were not familiar with each other before. It was Director Zhou who introduced us, and then we confirmed our relationship. If nothing else happens, we will live together in the future."
Ling Yuan was stunned and seemed to have no reaction.
Ling Zhi also said nothing.
The system couldn't help teasing her, "You are obviously single, but you have to act like you are looking for a stepfather for your child, for fear that the child will not accept it. Isn't it frustrating?"
Song Hongguo ignored it and waited for the brothers to digest it slowly.
She didn't say it before. Firstly, she was still a bit uncertain. Secondly, she felt a little embarrassed. Thirdly, it was probably the uneasiness the system was talking about.
If the two of them don't accept it, or show a little displeasure and rejection, then... although she won't break up with Huo Minglou just to worry about their opinions, she will definitely feel uncomfortable in her heart. I can no longer feel as comfortable as before.
So at this moment, she was the one taking the initiative, and she was still a little nervous.
After all, she didn't want to destroy the current relationship between mother and son.
Fortunately...
They didn't disappoint her.
Ling Zhi was the first to express his position. He said seriously and frankly, "We will not stop you from getting married, and we are not qualified. I have long thought that such a day would come, but I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. , so suddenly, so just now..."
He paused for a moment before continuing to explain, "We are not unhappy. No matter who you are looking for, as long as you are willing, we will support you and accept him."
Song Hongguo raised her eyebrows, "Really?"
Ling Zhi nodded heavily, "Really, willingly, without any reluctance, and even a little unexpected surprise..."
"Um?"
"Uncle Huo is Grandpa Zhou's student. He must be someone you can trust to introduce him to you. Then his character and ability should be fine. Living with such a person will definitely make you happy..."
Song Hongguo finally breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "I don't know whether I will be happy in the future, but now, I am indeed very happy. He is indeed a trustworthy person. You guys If I can accept him, I don’t have to be embarrassed, and you should get along very happily in the future..."
Ling Zhi said "Yeah" and suddenly asked, "What about him? Can he accept us?"
Song Hongguo nodded and spoke clearly, "When we first started dating, he didn't think you were a burden, and now, he doesn't think so anymore..."
Ling Zhi was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"It means that your Grandpa Zhou has told him both of your identities. He knows the reason why I adopted you. He didn't have any grudges in his heart at first, but now he is naturally more harmonious."
Ling Zhi looked surprised.
Song Hongguo joked, "Don't worry, he is engaged in confidential work and keeps a tight lip."
Ling Zhi turned away his face and said harshly, "I'm not worried. Anyway, we will live together in the future. If he tells it, he will definitely not be able to get involved."
Song Hongguo said matter-of-factly, "That's right, we will be in the same boat from now on. We are in the same boat through thick and thin. We all have to row hard in one place so that the boat can run fast and steadily. No matter who messes up, the boat will If it turns over, everyone will suffer, so don’t worry about digging yams tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, let’s cultivate a tacit understanding of paddling together with your Uncle Huo.”
Lexus, "..."
He was just stunned for a moment and then said, "You don't have to dig yams, but you have to buy food. We will get up early tomorrow. I heard that some people queue up at one or two in the morning. We can play with Uncle Huo after we finish shopping without delay." "
Song Hongguo, "..."
Okay, hasn't she already been convinced by the diligence of the older brother? This time is the right time.
