she's not at ease

Early the next morning, sunlight slipped in from the outside through the cracks in the curtains, and the two of them fell into a drowsy sleep when they vaguely heard the rustling sound coming from the door.

At first, I thought there were mice in the house.

Surrounded by this kind of sound, Lu Yi woke up with difficulty.

"Mom, what are you doing?" The sequelae of being woken up was dizziness and irritability. Lu Yi opened the door of the room and saw her mother standing at the door.

Although he was half a head shorter than her, his momentum was not weak at all.

"It's 08:30, I made breakfast and asked you to get up and eat, you can't sleep so late on weekends, right?" Lu's mother was confident.

After speaking, she poked her head and glanced into the room: "Where is Yaoyao?"

"Why do you lock the door when you sleep at night!"

She raised her voice and began to accuse.

No wonder she couldn't open the door when she tried to twist it just now.

"If you don't lock the door, how do I know if you'll wake me up at seven o'clock in the morning?" Lu Yi answered briefly with eyes blindfolded, and then retreated to the room and closed the door, "Come out in a while, don't knock on the door .”

The lazy tone showed a little irritability. Mother Lu knew her daughter well, so she didn't knock on the door again.

Half an hour later, the two of them came out of the bedroom one after the other, their faces were full of exhaustion, and Lu's mother was sitting by the dining table shaking her head: "Young people nowadays..."

Lu Yi had no intention of answering the question at all.

Not to mention Luo Yao.

She has not had a mother for so many years, and now she suddenly feels the benefits of having a mother, and also deeply understands the disadvantages of having a mother... In short, it is half and half, and there is an indescribable feeling.

After both of them washed up and returned to the table to sit down, there were two breakfasts already set in front of them, and they only needed to pick them up and eat them.

Accompanied by my mother's chattering explanation:

"Your Aunt Wu will come over for a light meal at noon today, so don't go out to eat at noon."

"Aunt Wu, you haven't seen each other for a long time. It's just a matter of time to meet Xu Jiu. Otherwise, it would be so deserted if I was the only one in the family."

Lu's mother finally finished talking, and Lu Yi just finished a sip of soy milk.

She smacked her lips, her face full of doubts: "Who is Aunt Wu?"

There didn't seem to be such a person in her memory.

Lu's mother glanced at her: "Your father's former colleague, your father took good care of our family when the accident happened."

"Oh." Lu Yi's answer was emotionless.

After breakfast, she pulled Luo Yao and the two of them to lean on the sofa and tuned a program to play there. In fact, the two leaned together and hugged the tablet to watch the economic news of the past two days.

Mother Lu originally wanted to join in, but she couldn't understand the news broadcast in English at all.

So he pretended to come over and listened to a few words, then wandered around to do other things.

She felt isolated.

At noon, Aunt Wu came to the door on time.

Considering that it was too tiring for her mother to prepare so many dishes by herself, Luo Yao specially called to order a sumptuous lunch from the restaurant.

During the meal, Luo Yao and Lu Yi came to the table at the same time, causing Aunt Wu's eyes to flicker.

Her eyes wandered between Luo Yao and Lu Yi, and finally fell back on Lu's mother, her eyes narrowed into tiny slits with a smile: "I heard that your Yiyi hasn't found a boyfriend yet?"

It seemed unclear which one was Lu Yi.

Before the meal started, this was the first sentence on the table.

Hearing Luo Yao's movement of holding the chopsticks, she paused.

She pursed her lips and glanced at Lu Yi quietly.

——I am afraid that today's meal is drunk.

Lu Yi was still expressionless. She opened her lips and was about to speak, but Mother Lu took a step ahead.

"...Oh, my daughter is busy with work and doesn't have time to find a boyfriend." After finishing speaking, she picked up the chopsticks on the bowl in front of her and held them in her hands, and smiled at Aunt Wu, "Besides, she also likes ordinary boys. I can't see it."

"Stop talking, let's eat quickly, the dishes on the table are cold."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Yi and Luo Yao started to pick up vegetables in cooperation.

The dining atmosphere on the entire table was driven by the two of them. Compared with the isolation of Mother Lu in the morning, it now looks more like a family of three isolating Aunt Wu, a foreigner.

However, she is not afraid of being isolated, and even if no one responds, she can bring the topic back abruptly.

"How can you not find a boyfriend because you are busy with work?" Just as Lu Yi was picking up two bites of food, Aunt Wu was already beaming with joy and began to instill her so-called chicken soup into Mama Lu, "I think your daughter is not young, right? It will be more and more difficult to find a boyfriend in the future if you continue to behave like this!"

"Nowadays, boys like young and beautiful girls. It's useless to make so much money."

"Girls, you have to marry a good man in the end..."

Just three sentences are enough to make Luo Yao clench his fists.

If it wasn't for the consideration that this was at Lu Yi's home and the two at the table were elders, she might have been unable to hold back her words.

No one dared to say such things in front of her since she was a child, and there was no gender discrimination in the company. Even the most annoying father in the family never said that the value of a woman is to "marry a good man".

What's more, Lu Yi is still her girlfriend.

"My daughter's annual salary is several million, and I'm not afraid that no one will want it." Mother Lu still had a warm smile on her face, and she responded to Aunt Wu's words while picking up vegetables.

Doesn't look bothered at all.

It can be seen that after the words "a few million annual salary" came out, Aunt Wu's face showed obvious surprise: "How many million annual salary?"

"Xuemei, are you talking nonsense..." She rolled her eyes and smiled knowingly, "Your daughter makes so much money, why do you still live here? You should have moved to a better location long ago. .”

Aunt Wu was right about this.

Although the place where Lu Yi and the others live is close to everything, it is still far from the bustling business district of the main city, and there is no subway line.

Housing prices in the capital are too expensive, and prices in places in the center of the city will rise a lot just by a little.

Lu's mother really didn't know how to answer this question, she couldn't show Lu Yi's salary statement to others, how boring it would be to do such a thing.

At this time, Lu Yi picked up the conversation unhurriedly: "Aunt Wu is right, she has been looking for an agent to look at the house recently, and if everything goes well, I will move after the beginning of the new year."

"If it's a favor, Auntie can come over to eat our relocation meal after the next year."

There is no trace of lying in the indifferent attitude.

Lu Yi and her mother perfectly explained what it meant to be "not surprised by changes", but it seemed that Auntie Wu's words were a bit malicious to speculate on others.

"Oh, that's it, then Xiaoyi, you can really make money hahaha..." Aunt Wu didn't feel any pain after being slapped loudly in public, "Actually, Auntie came here today at the behest of others." .”

The topic finally got to the point, Aunt Wu put down the chopsticks in her hand and lowered her voice: "I don't know if you still remember the boy who came with me during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year..."

"Your nephew?" Mother Lu thought of it first.

"exactly!"

"Xuemei, do you still have an impression, that proves that he is still good!"

Aunt Wu seemed a little surprised. In her opinion, being remembered is also a kind of recognition.

She continued: "He came here with me to meet your daughter. He couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep when he went back. He insisted that he fell in love at first sight..."

"puff."

Sitting next to him, Luo Yao, who had been wandering off topic, couldn't help laughing.

This laugh attracted the attention of the other three people on the table.

"..." Luo Yao didn't smile, and it didn't matter if he didn't.

It was Lu Yi who thoughtfully brought the topic back, and she looked as usual: "And then?"

"Then I was tortured so much that I came to visit." Aunt Wu looked helpless and sighed, "Xuemei, I thought your daughter couldn't find a partner anyway, why don't you come with me?" Try it nephew."

"Did you meet my nephew last time?"

"He's in good condition. He's a native of Beijing and has a car. He's not tall but 175cm is enough."

"And still young."

"Two years younger than your Yiyi, she is a potential stock!"

A series of slapstick words are hard to listen to.

Lu Yi didn't speak, she just turned her head to look at Lu Xuemei, and called softly: "Mom."

"I see." Mother Lu gently put down the chopsticks in her hand.

The smile on his face disappeared instantly.

She didn't answer Aunt Wu's words, but just asked the other party: "Have you finished eating?"

"I haven't started eating yet." Aunt Wu didn't know why, with a residual smile on her face, "Xuemei, why are you asking this?"

"That's just right, don't eat, so as not to dirty our tableware." After speaking, Mother Lu got up and took away the tableware in front of the other party and put them aside.

Immediately afterwards, she stretched out her hand and gently pushed the other person's back, muttering, "Don't just sit here, go out quickly, do you want me to see you?"

"I think you're not too young anymore, aren't you ashamed to tell nonsense with your eyes open?"

"Is my daughter worthy of your nephew?"

"You don't even look at your nephew's ugly appearance. No one wants you to be unclear about who it is?"

"Send you a word..."

Before Lu's mother could speak, Lu Yi bent her eyes and silently mouthed at Luoyao who was beside her——

"roll!"

Following the exit of the word "Roll", the room became completely lively, Lu Yi and Luo Yao also stood up quickly and joined in the battle of their mother.

During the fight, Aunt Wu was only heard screaming and cursing in anger.

But after all, she was alone and weak, and she was quickly kicked out by Lu's mother, and even the gift she brought was thrown out of the door.

After the excitement in the room, there was a deathly silence.

The three returned to the dining table, facing the table full of dishes, Mother Lu picked up the chopsticks and put them down again.

She suddenly looked at her daughter solemnly: "Xiaoyi, the proudest thing in my mother's life is that she gave birth to you."

The sudden "confession" made Lu Yi feel at a loss as to what to do, and she was startled.

However, Mother Lu's words continued, and she emphasized her tone: "You must not listen to those people outside saying that girls who are too old to marry can just find someone to fall in love with."

"You must find someone you like, otherwise, mother will be the first to disagree."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Luo Yao who was beside Lu Yi again: "There is Yaoyao, you too, although I am not your mother, I am about the same age."

Luo Yao didn't expect Mother Lu to mention herself suddenly.

A strange emotion suddenly flashed in her heart, a little sour, but a little moved.

This is the first time someone has had this relationship with him as an elder since his mother passed away.

"En." Luo Yao solemnly nodded, and then looked at Lu Yi beside her.

It must be someone who likes it.
