Changping Village.
Yang Ruoqing had a hunch that because she had a few unpleasant words with Mr. Tan in the afternoon, her parents would definitely come here to talk to her when they freed up time at night.
Even if the couple didn't come together, at least my mother, Mrs. Sun, would definitely come over to comfort her.
Sure enough, just after dinner, Mrs. Sun came.
Yang Ruoqing let her into her bedroom in the backyard, made a bowl of acacia honey water, and then sat down steadily.
"Mom, don't worry. I know exactly what my breasts are and what my urine is. I haven't been talking to her for a day or two, a year or two. It's all just words, and I won't really take it to my heart."
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's straight-to-the-point words, Sun's heart, which had been hanging all night, suddenly relaxed.
"If you can do this, I feel relieved if you think about it. This is the right thing to do. You don't have to be really angry with your mother. That's just the way she is." Mrs. Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded and raised her hand to signal Sun to drink the honey water.
Mrs. Sun picked up the honey water and drank it in small sips. The honey water prepared by Yang Ruoqing was not the kind that makes people cloyingly sweet. She paid attention to the light sweetness accompanied by the elegant fragrance of acacia flowers, lingering on the tip of her tongue. Squinting my eyes, I felt like I was back in early summer at the end of May or early June.
Strings of white acacia flowers hang heavily on the branches of the old locust tree in the yard. When I get up early, the morning breeze is very cool. When I come back from the vegetable garden, I don’t have time to change out of my dew-stained shoes and trousers and sit on my pony. Picking beans and peeling edamame at the door, chickens and ducks circle around, taking a chance to take a bite of edamame leaves on the ground...
"Mom, what are you thinking about with your eyes closed?" Yang Ruoqing tilted her head and asked curiously.
Mrs. Sun opened her eyes with a smile, pointed to the honey water in front of her and said, "Drinking a few sips of the honey water makes me feel like I'm back in the summer."
Yang Ruoqing covered her mouth and chuckled.
This is the charm of food. Like music, it can engrave the scene and feelings at that time.
A hometown delicacy can take you back to the world in your memory and arouse your nostalgia.
An old song can also make your soul travel through time. Human beings are originally nostalgic creatures. They rely half on yearning and half on memories to survive.
"Mom, after I left, you didn't say anything to my mother anymore, right? You must not think that I have been wronged and you want to stand up for me. My anger at that time was deliberately pretending. Don't be fooled. "
Yang Ruoqing then asked again, mainly because she was worried that her parents would suffer a loss from the mother. After all, their ranks were very different when it came to quarreling and causing trouble. Ten Yang Huazhongs and Suns tied together would not be Tan's opponent.
Mrs. Sun smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I didn't say anything. Your father should have said a few words. Your mother didn't come to the main room for dinner at night, so he sent the food to her room."
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "I've always had a bad temper, and I can't even hear a word of rebuttal. No wonder I can't get along with my father when I'm old."
The old woman has a hot temper and is mean-mouthed, while the old man looks honest and honest but has a sultry heart. When they were young, they were able to live together because of some common pursuits.
When he got old, he suddenly realized the true meaning of life, so the old man let himself go, and the old woman continued to run on the road of hypocrisy. They were a strange pair, but to some extent they were a perfect match.
"Qing'er, you shouldn't have collected debts from your aunt in front of her before. It made her lose face."
Sun's bowl of honey water was almost empty before she finally managed to hold back these words.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head, knowing that Baozi Niang would definitely say this.
"Mom, why didn't I just talk to my grandma about that? I don't mind her praising Dabai to the sky, but I don't like hearing her talk about my Tianxiang Tower."
"Besides, my aunt is still talking to Xini, and she seems to think it's a big deal. In that case, let's pay off the foreign debt first!"
"It's natural to pay back debts. We've already confiscated their interest. What else do you want?"
Sun's face was filled with indignation as she listened to Yang Ruoqing's grievances.
"To use your father's words, it's really not a good habit to step on each of your breasts."
"Isn't that right? My father can still see through it."
"Then your aunt's place...should we explain it later?" Ms. Sun asked again.
Yang Ruoqing was stunned and almost fell off the stool.
"I'm my own mother, and I haven't done anything sorry to her. Why do I have to explain?"
Yang Ruoqing's eyes almost popped out of her sockets. Isn't this bun girl thinking about the other person from the other person's point of view? Do you still want to live if you protect other people's emotions to such a cautious degree?
"Isn't this...then when you were quarreling with your mother, your aunt was affected. I'm worried that she will feel sad." Sun explained weakly.
"To be honest, I mentioned this to your father before. Your father scolded me and said that I thought too much, but I still don't trust your aunt. I'm always afraid that she will get into trouble again if she can't think about it for a while. After all, last time she was I almost hung my neck..."
Yang Ruoqing originally wanted to say, "Dad scolded me well," but when she heard what Sun said later, she held back.
After thinking for a moment, she said to Mrs. Sun in a serious voice, "Mom, you are right to consider my aunt's feelings in such a kind way."
"However, when you care too much about other people's feelings, you will make yourself and the people around you feel wronged. It is not a good thing to accommodate others against your own wishes."
"If you meet a sensible person, you will naturally understand our words and know that repaying debts is a matter of course."
"If you meet someone who is unreasonable and you try to accommodate them and consider their feelings, you will inadvertently condone them, which is not a good thing for everyone."
Mrs. Sun was left speechless and just stared at Yang Ruoqing with a pair of eyes that were indifferent to the world.
Yang Ruoqing finally sighed, "Actually, when I mentioned repaying the money to my aunt, if she wasn't stupid, she would have figured out that I was angry with my grandma. If she doesn't pay back the money, my fourth uncle will come back. The fourth aunt got impatient and went to collect the debt, but she was not as polite as I was. She made my aunt a lot of embarrassing words and left them all waiting for her!"
Mentioning Yang Huaming and Liu, Sun smiled helplessly.
"Not to mention, your fourth aunt has mentioned the money to me several times. If I hadn't stopped her, I'm afraid she would have gone to Lao Wang's house to ask for it, and I don't know how long I could have stopped her." Mrs. Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head: "Dabai is too high-profile, and my aunt and my grandma helped him praise it vigorously. It has only been open for more than half a month, and I guess I haven't gotten back the capital even if I die, but the two of them are like this It seems that the tinkering has made a fortune. If these words reach the ears of my fourth uncle and fourth aunt, there will definitely be trouble at Lao Wang’s house, or even Baimeizhai in the town!"
