Tong Ling saw Ma Xiaohui laughing so hard that he was swaying back and forth. She could not help but laugh as well. "What's your name? Hurry up and tell me.”Tong Ling urged Ma Xiaohui.
"Actually, this title isn't my personal privilege. Isn't it popular to call your brother's wife sister-in-law? I borrowed this from you and gave you a similar title. That's wife-sister, hahaha.”Ma Xiaohui said with a smile.
"I was wondering what kind of title it was. This title isn't worth laughing at at all.”Tong Ling said to Ma Xiaohui in all seriousness.
"You didn't find it funny, but you made me laugh so hard, hahaha.”Ma Xiaohui said with a smile.
"Stop fooling around. I'm serious. How long has it been since I last saw our mother? I miss her so much. I really want to see her.”Tong Ling said to Ma Xiaohui.
Ma Xiaohui understood what his mother meant, but he couldn't tell Tong Ling about it, so he came up with a delaying tactic." How about this? I'll let you go when I have a day off."”Ma Xiaohui said to Tong Ling.
"That's fine too. Let's set it this way." Tong Ling agreed.
Time passed really quickly. In a flash, more than ten days had passed. Tong Ling was still foolishly waiting for Ma Xiaohui to pick her up during his public holiday, but there was no movement from Ma Xiaohui. From then on, Ma Xiaohui would only come to Tong Ling's dormitory at night. He even said that he came back from work and had dinner before coming over, so Tong Ling thought that Ma Xiaohui had not taken a break.
On this day, Tong Ling was about to go to the cafeteria to eat when she saw Ma Xiaohui carrying a lot of food in his hands. "What do you think? I, Ma Banxian, am good at divination. If I had come a step later, you wouldn't have been able to eat these good things.”Ma Xiaohui said proudly to Tong Ling.
Ma Xiaohui entered the room and placed the big bag of delicious food on the table in the dormitory. Then, he smiled and asked Tong Ling," Have you washed your hands?，”"Nonsense, I'm going to the cafeteria to eat now. Can I not wash my hands?”Tong Ling replied. "Hey, Wifey, so what if you wash your hands? Why do you smell like chicken manure? Hahaha.”Ma Xiaohui said with a smile.
Tong Ling took out two rice bowls and two pairs of chopsticks and placed them on the table. Ma Xiaohui opened the big stack of delicious food that he brought. As he took it out, he chattered on and on," One smoked chicken, two pig hooves, two salted duck eggs, one bag of pickles, four flatbread, one bottle of white wine, and two bottles of beer.”After Ma Xiaohui finished speaking, all these things were arranged.
"Hey, Wifey, how are we supposed to drink without a glass?”Ma Xiaohui asked Tong Ling.
"I don't usually drink. I'll just use the rice bowl to make do with the wine glass I brought.”Tong Ling said.
"Aiya, I really have to ask Tong Ling if it's hard. Think about it, the Long March is 25,000 yuan. We're quite lucky to have jobs and drinks. Hahaha.”Ma Xiaohui said mischievously.
At that time, everything was supplied by ticket. When Tong Ling saw the things that Ma Xiaohui brought, she felt very puzzled, so she asked Ma Xiaohui," Where did you buy these things?”"This is a military secret. I definitely can't tell you.”Ma Xiaohui mumbled.
"If you don't tell me, then forget it." Tong Ling said.
"Hahaha, forget it. You have to eat your fill.”Ma Xiaohui said to Tong Ling with a smile.
As usual, Ma Xiaohui drank white wine and Tong Ling drank beer. Just like that, the two of them started drinking.
As they drank, Tong Ling suddenly asked Ma Xiaohui," Has the unit been particularly busy recently?”"I'm not busy. It's still the same." Ma Xiaohui answered Tong Ling.
"Then why haven't you taken a break?”Tong Ling asked Ma Xiaohui.
No matter how shrewd a person was, there would be times when they miscalculated. Ma Xiaohui did not expect Tong Ling to be waiting for him here. However, Ma Xiaohui's brain was working fast. He hurriedly said," Yes, I don't have anything to do recently, so I don't have a public holiday. I'll save up."”
When Tong Ling heard Ma Xiaohui's words, she asked him anxiously," You're not on a break either. Why don't we go visit our mom after dinner tonight?"”Tong Ling looked at Ma Xiaohui and said.
" Our mom is fine. Don't go yet. Let's wait for another day," Ma Xiaohui said perfunctorily.
Tong Ling could tell that Ma Xiaohui was not telling her the truth. She thought about it and said to Ma Xiaohui," You're doing this day after day. How many tomorrows do you have?”
"Hahaha, my dear wife is amazing. You're really worthy of being a pot seller. You always say the same thing.”Ma Xiaohui said with a cross.
"Tell me the truth. Is our mother still strongly opposed to the two of us?”Tong Ling asked Ma Xiaohui.
"Hai, didn't I tell you before? Our mother is an old brain. You have to give her some time for this.”Ma Xiaohui said to Tong Ling patiently.
"I'm worried that if our mom can't turn around, it'll be troublesome.”Tong Ling said with some misgivings.
"It won't happen. What's the saying again? Oh, it's that as long as you have a deep understanding of kung fu, even a nail can be ground into a needle. Please believe my glib tongue. It's only a matter of time before you turn around.”Ma Xiaohui advised Tong Ling.
"What kind of phrase is that? It should be that as long as one's kung fu is deep, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle.”Tong Ling said.
"Hahaha, isn't that spike even thicker?”Ma Xiaohui said with a smile.
Tong Ling raised her wine glass, but she still looked at Ma Xiaohui worriedly.
During this meal, Ma Xiaohui and Tong Ling chatted as they ate. They ate until past nine o'clock in the evening.
After the meal, Tong Ling hurriedly cleaned up the things on the table. Ma Xiaohui also came over to help. In a short while, everything was cleaned up.
Ma Xiaohui looked at his watch and said to Tong Ling," It's getting late. You should rest early too. I have to go home too. If I'm late, Mom will miss me."”
"Alright, it's too dark. Be careful when you ride.”Tong Ling instructed Ma Xiaohui.
"Don't worry, I have a pair of eagle eyes, hahaha.”Ma Xiaohui smiled as he answered Tong Ling.
After Ma Xiaohui left, Tong Ling stared blankly at Ma Xiaohui's receding figure. Suddenly, a baffling sense of loss arose spontaneously in her heart.
Ma Xiaohui returned home. Just as he walked into the courtyard, he heard laughter coming from the house. He walked into the house and saw Mrs. Gao sitting on the brick bed with an old lady he didn't know. There was also a man in his fifties sitting on the chair on the floor.
"Xiao Hui, let me introduce you. This is your Uncle Wang and this is your Aunt Wang.”Ma Xiaohui's mother said to him. " Oh, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, hello," Ma Xiaohui greeted the two strangers very politely.
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang sized up Ma Xiaohui for a long time. Then, Aunt Wang gave Mrs. Gao a very satisfied look. Mrs. Gao smiled knowingly.
" Aiya, it's getting late. We should go back," Aunt Wang said as she stood up to leave. "Xiao Hui, help me send your Uncle and Aunt Wang off.”Ma Xiaohui's mother instructed him.
Ma Xiaohui sent Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang to the gate of the courtyard. After watching them walk away, he turned around and returned to the house. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Mrs. Gao and his mother smiling happily. "Xiaohui, come over and take a look at this girl.”Ma Xiaohui's mother said to Ma Xiaohui with a photo in her hand. "What's there to see? I'm not looking.”Ma Xiaohui replied coldly. " Hey, you brat, how can you talk to your mother like that?" Mrs. Gao said to Ma Xiaohui.
Ma Xiaohui did not seem to hear Mrs. Gao's words. He took the thermos flask and turned around to go to the kitchen. He poured the hot water from the thermos into a washbasin and added some cold water before plunging into it.
In the house, Mrs. Gao and her mother were still sitting on the brick bed and whispering something. After a while, Mrs. Gao walked out of the house. " Brat, are you washing your hair?" Mrs. Gao said to Ma Xiaohui as she walked out." Ah, I'm so bored that I feel uncomfortable. I'm washing my hair."”Ma Xiaohui replied in a strange tone.
When Mrs. Gao heard Ma Xiaohui's words, she stood there for a while. She wanted to say something to Ma Xiaohui, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Mrs. Gao went home. Ma Xiaohui walked to the courtyard and locked the door. Then, he turned around and went back into the house.
" Hey, kid, how are you talking to your Auntie Gao?" Ma Xiaohui's mother scolded him.
"Well, I'm just idle every day. I can't do anything else, but I have to talk about this.”Ma Xiaohui mumbled.
"I think you're a little too naive. What are they after? Isn't this all for your own good?”Ma Xiaohui's mother said.
"I appreciate your kindness, isn't that enough?”Ma Xiaohui said.
When Ma Xiaohui's mother heard what he said, she thought that her words to scold Ma Xiaohui had worked, so she took out the photo again. " I have my eyes on this daughter. Let me show you," Ma Xiaohui's mother said to him as she held the photo in her hand.
Ma Xiaohui didn't answer his mother's question, nor did he take the photo. He took off his clothes, got on the brick bed, and crawled into the blanket. Then, he pulled the blanket over his head.
"Why are you so stubborn? This daughter is quite good and has a good job. She works in the telegram building in the city. Her father is also a supervisor in the Mining Bureau. I don't remember this. He said that as long as you and his daughter are dating, they can transfer you from the underground to the surface. I think this is a good thing.”Ma Xiaohui's mother was sitting in front of his blanket, mumbling to herself.
Ma Xiaohui did not listen to a single word of his mother's words. He was still reminiscing about the happy and sweet feeling of being with Tong Ling in bed.
" You're not young anymore. Can't you just do whatever you want? I've walked more bridges than you have. How can I let you suffer a loss?" Ma Xiaohui's mother saw that he was silent and continued to speak.
Ma Xiaohui still ignored his mother's words.
When Ma Xiaohui's mother saw that he still did not say anything, she became angry. She pulled the blanket over Ma Xiaohui's head and shouted at him sternly,"Get up."”
