Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 34 Mother
Chen Yuan's home is further away from the company than Yue Qing's house, but this distance is not too far for driving. They can get home faster than Yue Qing's electric bike to rent a house.
Yue Qing regrets a little. She should have gone with Wang Bo when he came back. At least Wang Bo was there at that time. Now it's better. Wang Bo is not here. The other party said that all he will face are his family members. People say that a daughter-in-law is more likely to be annoyed by her husband's family. Now that I have gone there, all the husband's family members are across from me, not even her boyfriend. Although Chen Yuan is a little familiar with me, in the end, they are still the people across from me. Let’s talk about Yue Qing’s temperament, and this meeting will be a bit nervous. Hey, it would be better to go with Wang Bo then, Yue Qing thought again.
"It's right in front, Cheng Shang is here." Chen Yuan said. In fact, Yue Qing has also been here and knows where it is. However, Yue Qing is not very good at memorizing directions. If she were to come by herself, she would not be able to find her, so she would definitely have to call.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly thought that I didn't seem to have taken anything. It would be inappropriate to go to someone else's house without taking something, and I had to meet my future mother-in-law today. I forgot about this because of my nervousness, at least get some fruit or something.
"Well, Brother Chen, please stop at the store. I want to buy some fruit and I forgot to take something."
"No need to buy anything, they will be happy if you come." He said without any intention of stopping.
If Yue Qing wanted to say anything, she saw Wang Yan standing in front of a building. This seemed to be Chen Yuan's home. And, most importantly, Wang Bo's mother was also there, an old lady with hair that was starting to turn gray. With a thin figure, the expectation in his eyes could be seen from a distance, and he shook his head and looked this way. Wang Yan held one of the Queen Mother's arms. Yue Qing has seen her a few times, so of course she recognizes him. Yueqing gave up her struggle.
After Chen Yuan parked the car, Yue Qing saw the Queen Mother walking over, with Wang Yan supporting her. Yue Qing hurriedly opened the door, but before she could even get out, the Queen Mother was already there. When she came up, she grabbed Yue Qing's hand and said, "Yue Qing is here, but you missed me."
The Queen Mother's hands were rough, and Yue Qing's hand felt a little scratchy when she held it. She was wearing a thin flowery coat that ordinary aunts prefer to wear. Her back was a little curved, and you could tell at a glance that she had suffered a lot in her youth. The same rough dark yellow face was full of smiles, and a pair of yellowish yet shrewd eyes stared directly at Yue Qing's face.
Yue Qing smiled sheepishly, letting her pull her, and made up her mind: "Hello, aunt, the one who wanted to buy something didn't make it in time..."
"What are you buying? You are better than anything else, but you make me so happy. You must be tired after working all day. Come on, hurry up." The Queen Mother waved her hand and pulled Yueqing towards her. Wang Yan’s family is leaving.
"That's right, Yue Ming is so polite. You don't need to bring anything with you when you come to my house. Just walk up." Wang Yan followed suit, then turned to Yue Qing's other side to support her. "It's true of you. We are all a family from now on. From now on, this is not all yours. Why are you so polite? We won't come around more. We are so close to each other and it's hard for me to see you once."
While the three of them were talking, they were helped up the stairs by pulling and pulling, and Chen Yuan followed them with a smile.
.................................................................
Qijia Villa, the sunny and luxurious living room on the second floor is filled with various high-end household items, and there are also three women. A well-maintained lady who looked very young at all. Yue Qing had also seen the other two people. She was the two girls she met at the company that day.
Sister Weiwei now had tears on her face, and women would feel heartbroken after seeing it: "Auntie, I really didn't mean it. I really just wanted to see the company environment where Brother Yi Lin just worked that day, and then listen to I was talking about Sister Yueqing, and I wanted to come up and say hello, but who knew it would make Brother Yi Lin unhappy." As he spoke, he wiped his tears with the tissue in his hand, and there were already a lot of wiped tissues on the table in front of him. . Judging from her tone, this woman is probably Qi Yilin's mother.
The nanny brought tea and put it on the table, and also collected the tissues on the table.
"Okay, don't cry." Qi's mother, who was sitting between the two of them, had majesty in her eyes. She looked at the little girl's pear blossoms and the rain, and advised her. He was talking while stroking the two-color ragdoll cat in his arms.
"Who is this girl? Why do I keep hearing people mention her recently?" Qi's mother asked.
Weiwei was crying and didn't say anything. The charming girl on the other side answered: "Aunt, I heard that a girl my cousin met by chance outside helped him once. I don't know what he did to make my cousin fall in love with her. Now, I often hang out with her, and I don’t care much about the company’s business anymore.”
"And I also heard that my cousin came to that small company just because of this woman and wouldn't listen to anyone's advice."
Qi's mother turned to look at her, "An Qi, didn't you go there to meet her too? What kind of girl is she?"
"Aunt, I did go there. Didn't I want to see my cousin? I happened to meet him. He looked poor and spoke harshly. He looked like a person who wanted to fly up to the branch in a hurry. Aunt, you haven't seen me. What she did to me and Weiwei at that time was because we pressed our faces against each other."
Weiwei cried even harder when she heard this.
Qi's mother felt unhappy when she heard this, but it was not to Yue Qing, but to herself as a niece. She usually didn't like her dressing, although it might be because she was old and couldn't keep up with the pace of today's young people. , but in the end, they still look down upon it. The Qi family is still relatively conservative after all. But my sister's family only has one child, and she suffered a little when she was born. My sister's body is not suitable for having another child, and she is getting older now. The family also dotes on this girl very much, and her temper is spoiled. .
I still have some idea of what my son is like. He has been independent since he was a child, and he has never been impulsive in anything. Since he thinks his girl is good, he must not be without merit. When An Qi said this, didn't she mean that her son was particularly short-sighted.
Weiwei's crying there also made her upset: "Okay, don't cry. I understand. Don't worry, not just anyone can enter our Qi family. I'll ask Fenglin after he comes back. You guys?" In the future, don't disturb others casually, knowing that Fenglin is unhappy, but you still go to mess with him. I won't speak for you next time."
An Qi heard a hint of displeasure in Qi's mother's tone and said nothing more.
Weiwei heard what Qi's mother said and paused: "Auntie, I understand. I won't go again. I won't disturb Brother Yi Lin's work."
Seeing what she said, Qi's mother touched her tearful face and said, "This is a good child, and so is Fenglin. It's really not right to make such a well-behaved girl like us cry. When I come back, I will talk to you carefully." he."
"Auntie, don't worry, it's all my fault. If you blame Brother Yi Lin, Brother Yi Lin will be angry with me again."
"Okay, no wonder." Qi's mother looked at her with satisfaction, her face full of smiles. When Weiwei saw her saying this, she burst into tears and smiled. She lowered her head and fiddled with her forehead in embarrassment, with a shy look on her face.
The two looked at each other and smiled, but An Qi's expression was not very good. An unnatural smile appeared on his face.
.................................................................
When they arrived at Chen Yuan's house, Queen Mother took the bag from Yue Qing's hand and hung it on top of the shoe cabinet. Wang Yan's house was tidy. The difference between the house and Yueqing's house is obvious at a glance.
The Queen Mother pulled her all the way to the sofa and asked her to sit down next to her.
"Oh, that's great. It makes me so happy. I thought, Wang Bo is really serious and won't take you back. I haven't seen you for such a long time." As soon as she sat down, the Queen Mother held Yue Qing in her hands. hand said.
"His father has something to do in the field. I didn't know you could come. If not, why don't you let him come too? My daughter-in-law didn't see her. I'll be in trouble if I go back and tell him. You must be tired from work. Nowadays, young people are under great pressure from work. It's very big. We also know that Wang Bo is so busy that he doesn't even have time to call home. Alas, but we don't expect you to take time to accompany us, as long as you can live a good life. . . . ”
The Queen Mother was very eloquent, and Yue Qing had been listening to her words even before she could interrupt her words. I sat here laughing while listening, and hummed from time to time. Wang Yan also sat nearby and listened, but at least she could occasionally chime in. After talking for a while, the Queen Mother changed the subject: "You must be hungry now. We have prepared all the ingredients. We can start dinner in a while. Come on, Yanyan, go to the kitchen and stir up the dishes."
"Oh, okay." After saying that, Wang Yan stood up and walked to the kitchen. Chen Yuan was already inside. Yue Qing saw this and said, "Let me go over and help."
"No, no, they two should be busy, let's talk." He said and patted Yueqing's hand.
"Oh." Yue Qing replied, and sat down again.
"By the way, I heard that your mother wasn't feeling well. How is she doing now?"
"Oh, it's nothing serious. I just have a cold. I'll be fine after going to the hospital for a while..." Yueqing's mother was not feeling well some time ago and said she had a slight fever. She was at home alone and her four children were not around. When Yue Qing called her, she said that she had gone to the hospital and just had a cold. It was a little slow to take the medicine, so she got an intravenous drip and she was fine in a few days.
"Hey, it's not easy for your mother either. You think it's easy for any old person these days? She raised the four of you. Sometimes I really admire her. It's really not easy. She worries about the four of you every day, and now we are married together. Fortunately, your affairs have been settled now, and you will still have to deal with your son's marriage. Wang Bo is not here either, why don't you let him go back with you to see her. Your mother hasn't found anyone for so long. Mate, will you pick her up?"
"Oh, I told my eldest sister that she doesn't want to come to my place, nor does she want to go to my sister's place. She just wants to stay at home, where she is surrounded by acquaintances and can find people to play with. I heard that our neighbor There are also introductions, but my mother may not want to find them."
"The four of you should support her in finding another partner."
"Support, we all support her, as long as she is nice, there will be someone to accompany her even if we are not here."
"Just support me. You are still young and don't know how hard it is to be alone."
"Yeah." Yue Qing smiled and nodded. "Now that I look at my sister, I know it's not easy to take care of a child, not to mention the four of us."
"Oh, you are such a sensible girl."
The Queen Mother then took out a red envelope from her pocket and said, "I haven't seen you for such a long time, and you didn't come during the Chinese New Year this year. Auntie has prepared a red envelope for you. Take it and buy some delicious food. Look at the thin one."
"Oh, Auntie, I don't want it, just keep it." Yue Qing was startled and quickly declined.
The Queen Mother stuffed the red envelope into Yue Qing's arms, "Hurry up and keep it, my dear daughter. I'll give you a big one when you come for the Chinese New Year."
"No, Auntie, I really can't accept it." Yue Qing stood up and said.
When Wang Yan saw it over there, she hurried over and said, "Just keep it, Yue Qing. This is my mother's wish. Wang Bo couldn't remember, but my mother also gave it to him. Besides, this won't all be yours from now on." What are you pushing?”
Chen Yuan also came over: "Just keep it, it's a gift from the elders and you can't refuse it."
"Quickly, my daughter, keep it, don't be too little." The Queen Mother said, and Wang Yan brought Yue Qing's bag. Putting it in Yue Qing's hand, Queen Mother stuffed it directly into her bag.
"Okay, thank you, auntie." Yue Qing said.
"Hey, that's right. Look at this girl. The more I look at her, the more I like her. She is much more beautiful." The Queen Mother continued. "I'm going to make you some smooth meat. I saw you liked it the last time I went there. I've prepared it specially for you this time. Is Yanyan ready?" She said and walked to the kitchen.
"It's done, Mom." Wang Yan said and walked to the kitchen.
"Auntie, let me help." Yue Qing said upon seeing this.
"No, no, you sit down. Yanyan talks to Yueqing."
"Oh, okay." Wang Yan immediately came to sit next to Yue Qing.
"Sit down quickly and drink some water. Don't worry about it. It's almost done. Just let our mother make a smooth pork."
"Oh, thank you." Yue Qing said while holding the water Wang Yan handed her and looking at the background of the Queen Mother walking towards the kitchen.
.................................................................
Qi Yilin received a call from his mother, telling him to go home for dinner. Thinking that it had been a while since he had eaten at home, he said he would go back after finishing his work in the evening.
In the evening, the restaurant of Qijia Mansion is located right in front of the residential area. In a space as big as a basketball court, there are various tables. On one side of an extra-long dining table near the kitchen work area, there are already prepared dinners and tea. Two people were already sitting at the table, Qi Yilin and his mother. Servants were on both sides, ready to serve the master. Qi's father was not here. In fact, the three members of the Qi family rarely ate together, and even Qi's father rarely ate with Qi's mother. Dining. The three members of their family all have their own things to be busy with, but Qi's mother spends more time at home than her husband and son. After all, she is a woman.
Sometimes even if her husband is at home, he will not eat with her. Each bedroom in the Qi family has an independent dining room, activity room, and even an independent garden. Servants will deliver meals to each owner's dedicated lounge. But as Qi Yilin is generally called, Qi Yilin will definitely accompany his mother as long as he is eating at home. If Qi's mother calls her son to come back for dinner, Qi Yilin will definitely come back as long as he can make it in time. In Qi's mother's heart, he is a very considerate son.
No, today I received a call from Qi's mother. Although Qi Yilin had been busy all day, he thoughtfully rushed back to accompany his mother. Qi's mother looked at her son with satisfaction, then poured a bowl of soup for her son herself and placed it in front of Qi Yilin: "Come on, son, have a taste. I made this specially for you. After a busy day, drink some soup to nourish your stomach." ."
Qi Yi closed his eyes and smelled it, "It smells so good." Then he took a sip. "The soup mom makes is delicious."
"Okay, young poor man."
"To be honest, mom has worked hard." He grabbed her mother's hand and said, "Thank you, mom."
Mother Qi's face blossomed with a smile.
"Hey, it's better to have a son, unlike your heartless father." After laughing, he scolded her husband angrily.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yilin stood up, hugged her behind his mother, leaned on her shoulders and shook her, saying, "Dad is busy. This is not for your good son."
"Only you can speak for him." Qi's mother touched her son's hand and said pretending to be angry. "Okay, finally come back and have a meal without mentioning him. Come, have a meal."
Qi Yi sat down, looked at his mother and said, "I will spend more time with you on Dad's behalf."
"Okay." Qi's mother said with satisfaction, then handed him a piece of meat and put it in the bowl, "Eat quickly."
Qi's mother watched her son eat for a while and then said, "Look, you're hungry. You haven't eaten well recently. What are you busy with?"
"Development of a Project."
"Oh, don't tire yourself too much."
"I can't help it. Dad is still waiting to pass the position to me. It's a lot of pressure. If you want to take over, you have to wait until you can convince the public."
"This old guy will push his own son and tire my son out. Don't worry too much. With me and your father supporting you, there's nothing you can't do to convince others."
"Mom, I have my own ideas. I want to secure this position based on my own abilities. Not as your son."
"Well, my son is right." Qi's mother gave her son another dish: "I heard that you have been working as a consultant for a certain company recently. It is still a small company, so don't tire yourself too much."
Qi Yilin knew what was going on as soon as he heard it: "Mom, don't you still believe me? Of course I have my own reasons, otherwise why would I go there?"
"Oh, that's good. Mom just feels sorry for you." Qi's mother looked at her son with a distressed expression.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Hey, I also heard that there is a girl named Chang Yueqing who has been very close to you recently?"
Qi Yilin stopped eating and looked at his mother with a smile, "Listen to what An Qi and Weiwei said."
Of course Qi's mother knew her son's abilities and what could be hidden from him, so she didn't say much and directly asked: "What kind of girl is she?"
Qi Yilin thought for a moment: "She is a courageous, kind, stable, cute, and excellent girl. She has the charm of your youth and is definitely worthy of your son. You will definitely like her when you see her."
"Really? Then bring it back for me to see when. No matter when, just bring it tomorrow."
"Don't think about it." Qi Yilin lowered his head and continued eating.
Qi's mother was worried: "What's wrong, can she still look down on you? Hey, don't be in a hurry to eat." She said and went to hold his hand.
Qi Yilin smiled: "Mom, I'm still hungry."
"It won't take a while to talk to mom."
Qi Yilin looked helpless: "Hey, I have a boyfriend and my relationship is going well."
"What, what kind of boyfriend can be as good as my son? No, if it's really as good as you say, I want to see more. You finally fell in love with one, you can't just let it go."
"Mom, don't be anxious. You haven't even written these horoscopes yet. Why are you so anxious?"
"Can I not be anxious? You are not young anymore. People as old as you have had several girlfriends, and some of them have children. You just haven't figured it out. It's not easy to fall in love with one. You Why don't you get some snacks?" Seeing her son's dissatisfaction, Qi's mother became furious and said, "Tell me how many people I have introduced to you. Mother is most optimistic about this girl Weiwei. You said you I don’t like it either.”
"Mom, please don't mention this again. It's really impossible for Weiwei and I to be together. I don't like this type of thing, and I only regard her as a younger sister. Don't mess around and delay other girls. I I’m telling you this seriously.”
"Okay, if you don't like it, you don't like it. If you like it, you have to hold on tight."
"Take your time. If I don't tell you that she has a boyfriend, wouldn't I have no chance?"
"Take your time, young people today, who hasn't changed a few partners yet? No, I have to go see the girl in person tomorrow."
"No, no, no, please don't go. I'm a very conservative girl. You scare me again."
"Oh, that's it. Hey, it's good to be conservative. I like conservative things. Don't take it seriously, and hurry up." Qi's mother pointed at her son.
Qi Yilin shook his head and smiled, "You can eat now."
"Eat, eat, eat quickly." As she said, Qi's mother gave her son some more food: "Whoever talks nonsense in front of me in the future will see me tearing his mouth apart. How can my son's eyesight be so bad? Hey, my son also has a daughter. My friend, if I have a child in the future, I can show it off everywhere."
Qi Yilin said with a smile: "It's just that the family is a little bad."
"It doesn't matter if our family is not good. Do our Qi family still need a daughter-in-law to support the scene? Wasn't my mother a girl from an ordinary businessman's family back then?"
"Yes, yes, mom is right."
"Hold on tight." Qi's mother reminded her, tapping her son's arm.
