Ma Xiaohui was on a public holiday today. Yesterday, he had made an appointment with a few classmates to gather together today.
In the morning, before Ma Xiaohui could get up, his mother, who was lying under the blanket, ordered him," Come with me today." When Ma Xiaohui heard this, he was stunned. He thought to himself, What's wrong with his mother today? She never liked to go out and visit. Moreover, Ma Xiaohui's family were foreigners. It could be said that they had no relatives here. Where was his mother going to visit today? However, in the blink of an eye, he thought about it. It had been so many years. His mother, who was tortured by her illness, rarely went out. Her walking route was simply two points and one line. She went from the hospital to home and from home to the hospital. It was rare for his mother to be in such a good mood today." Hey, okay. Mom, I won't go anywhere today. I'll go out with you!" Ma Xiaohui said to his mother with a smile. After hearing his son's straightforward answer, Ma Xiaohui's mother smiled.
After breakfast, Ma Xiaohui went to his classmate's house first. He canceled his appointment for the day in embarrassment and then hurried home on his bicycle.
Ma Xiaohui's mother had already put on her coat and was sitting on the bed, waiting for her son to come back. When Ma Xiaohui entered the house and saw his mother dressed neatly and looking very energetic, he was overjoyed. " Let's go. I'll go wherever you say, Mommy!" Ma Xiaohui said as he helped his mother out.
Outside the courtyard, Ma Xiaohui locked the door. When he turned around, he saw his mother pass him a note saying,"Let's go to this place." This note was left to Ma Xiaohui's mother by the person who proposed marriage that day. "Alright!" Ma Xiaohui accepted the note and agreed. Ma Xiaohui was worried that his mother wouldn't be able to sit steadily on the back seat of the bicycle, so he pushed the bicycle. He was afraid that it would jolt his mother. Ma Xiaohui's bicycle walked very slowly and steadily. It took him a long time to reach the address on the note.
Ma Xiaohui carefully helped his mother off the bicycle and knocked on the door." Is anyone there?”As he knocked on the door, he shouted into the courtyard," Hey, I'm here, I'm here." A middle-aged woman walked out of the courtyard. "It's Big Sister Ma. Come in quickly!”The middle-aged woman said as she helped Ma Xiaohui's mother into the house.
It was a three-room house that was the size of Beijing. It was divided into east and west rooms, with a kitchen in the middle. The middle-aged woman let Ma Xiaohui and his mother go to the west room. When he entered the house, Ma Xiaohui's mother introduced him," Xiaohui, this is your Auntie Liu." Ma Xiaohui greeted the middle-aged woman politely," Hey, good, good, what a handsome young man!" The middle-aged woman replied while sizing up Ma Xiaohui.
The middle-aged woman quickly brewed a pot of tea and poured a bowl for Ma Xiaohui and his mother before walking out. "Mom, why haven't I heard you mention Auntie Liu before?”Ma Xiaohui asked his mother in puzzlement," Ah, I met him when I was in the hospital. I forgot to tell you." Ma Xiaohui's mother told a white lie.
The middle-aged woman came back with two people behind her. One was a woman in her fifties, and the other was a slim and elegant lady.
Ma Xiaohui took a closer look. He knew that girl, so he hurriedly went up to greet her." It's Little Wei. Hello!" The girl replied shyly," Hello!" Then, her face turned red.
Ma Xiaohui's mother looked at the girl in front of her carefully and nodded at Auntie Liu with satisfaction. The woman in her fifties looked at Ma Xiaohui with a smile. The middle-aged woman saw that there was a door! She asked Ma Xiaohui's mother and the woman in her fifties to go to the east room to see her Persian cat. The two of them naturally smiled and followed her to the east room.
In the west room, only Ma Xiaohui and Little Wei were left." Do you live nearby? Ma Xiaohui was the first to break the awkward situation." Yes," Xiao Wei replied with his head lowered. Looking at Xiao Wei's shy expression, the smart Ma Xiaohui immediately understood his mother's plan to bring him out this time. He wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he openly talked to Xiao Wei about some things in the mine. As they talked, Xiao Wei also relaxed a lot. When Ma Xiaohui saw that Xiao Wei was not so nervous, he asked her,"Are you in a relationship?"”"What did you say?" Xiao Wei thought that he had misheard and hurriedly asked Ma Xiaohui. "Hehe, what are you nervous about? I'm asking if you're dating!”Ma Xiaohui repeated. Little Wei thought to himself, You really know how to make an international joke. If I had a partner, why would I come here?! Therefore, she asked Ma Xiaohui,"It seems that you have a partner!"”"Yes, I already have someone I like!”Ma Xiaohui answered bluntly. Xiao Wei really thought that Ma Xiaohui was joking with her. She smiled at Ma Xiaohui and did not say anything. The two of them chatted for a while, and from time to time, there would be a burst of happy laughter…
Seeing that it was almost noon, Ma Xiaohui got up and walked towards the east room. He wanted to call his mother home. However, the woman in her fifties insisted that Ma Xiaohui and his mother go to her house for lunch. Ma Xiaohui politely refused on the grounds that his mother's body was not suitable for sitting for long.
On the way home, Ma Xiaohui's mother was beaming, but Ma Xiaohui seemed to be fine. "Such a handsome girl with such a good family background. It's really hard to find her even if you carry a lantern!”Ma Xiaohui's mother, who was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, muttered to herself. " That's right, then you should acknowledge him as your goddaughter. It just so happens that you don't have a daughter yet. Hahaha!" Ma Xiaohui smiled at his mother as he walked. Ma Xiaohui's mother mistakenly thought that Ma Xiaohui was too embarrassed to say yes, so she replied," Yes, people say that a son-in-law is half a child, and a daughter-in-law is a complete daughter, hehe!" Seeing his mother so happy, Ma Xiaohui wanted to say something but stopped. He didn't want to spoil her mood, so he didn't say anything else.
When he got home, Ma Xiaohui had prepared the meal. When they were eating, Ma Xiaohui's mother kept asking him," Have you made an appointment? Where are we meeting next time?”"Hahaha, who should I ask out?" " Xiao Wei," Ma Xiaohui replied. "Mom, don't worry about it. Just take good care of yourself. This is better than anything else!”Ma Xiaohui said as he picked up a piece of lean meat and placed it in his mother's bowl. "Xiao Wei's daughter is so good. Why haven't you taken a fancy to such a good person?”Ma Xiaohui's mother angrily threw her chopsticks on the ground and shouted at Ma Xiaohui. Seeing that his mother was so angry, Ma Xiaohui hurriedly smiled and coaxed her," Mom, don't be angry. I'll ask her out tomorrow at work, okay?”Hearing Ma Xiaohui's words, her mother's face turned from cloudy to sunny.
Ever since the day of Ma Xiaohui's blind date, Ma Xiaohui's mother had been talking about Xiao Wei. Whenever she saw Ma Xiaohui coming back from work, the first thing he said to her was Xiao Wei. He would always ask Ma Xiaohui to bring her home for a meal. Every time, Ma Xiaohui would laugh and say that Xiao Wei was too busy and that he would wait a few days.
Half a year had passed, but Xiao Wei still hadn't come home once. This time, Ma Xiaohui's mother was really anxious. Taking advantage of Ma Xiaohui's free time at work, she asked Mrs. Gao to accompany her to look for Auntie Liu, the one who proposed marriage.
When they arrived at Auntie Liu's house, before Ma Xiaohui's mother could sit down, Auntie Liu immediately shouted at Ma Xiaohui's mother," Sister Ma, when I went to your house to propose marriage that day, you insisted that your son had no partner. I believed your words and proposed marriage to both of your families. However, on the day of the blind date, your son said that he had a partner. How can you do things like this?!"”Only then did Ma Xiaohui's mother realize that her son was lying to her.
It turned out that on the night of the blind date, when Xiao Wei returned home, her parents kept asking her if she had an appointment to meet again. Xiao Wei replied that she didn't. Her parents thought that their daughter was shy and didn't ask her again.
However, after more than half a month, there was still no news. Xiao Wei's mother was anxious and insisted that Xiao Wei ask Ma Xiaohui to come over for dinner. Xiao Wei thought to himself that men usually ask women out on dates. No woman would take the initiative to ask a man out, so she did not go to Ma Xiaohui for a long time.
Before the blind date, Xiao Wei and Ma Xiaohui would occasionally see each other at work. However, since the day of the blind date, Xiao Wei had never seen Ma Xiaohui again. She was a little sensitive and felt that Ma Xiaohui was deliberately avoiding her.
Xiao Wei's mother was nagging about this every day. Xiao Wei could not stand her mother's nagging and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Ma Xiaohui.
Xiao Wei came to Ma Xiaohui's workplace early in the morning to wait for him. After a while, Ma Xiaohui rode his 28-year-old Big Phoenix bicycle over. " Ma Xiaohui!" Xiao Wei called out. Hearing Xiao Wei calling him, Ma Xiaohui got off the bicycle and said with a smile," Good morning, Comrade Xiao Wei!”Little Wei burst out laughing and said,"Hehe, why are you still gay?!"”"Is there something you need?" Ma Xiaohui asked Xiao Wei," I'm not looking for you. My mom wants to invite you to my house for dinner!”Little Wei lowered his head shyly. "Thank your auntie for me. Didn't I tell you that I already have someone I like the other day?”This time, Ma Xiaohui spoke to Xiao Wei seriously. Hearing Ma Xiaohui's words, Xiao Wei raised her head and looked at Ma Xiaohui in surprise. At this moment, she suddenly realized that he was not joking on the day of the blind date! Little Wei's face instantly turned red. If she had seen a crack in the ground, she would have immediately crawled into it!
Little Wei was not in the mood to go to work. He ran back home in a flash. After entering the house, he crawled into bed and started crying. When her mother heard her crying, she hurriedly asked her what had happened. Xiao Wei cried at the same time and did not speak. When Xiao Wei's mother saw her daughter crying so sadly, she seemed to have understood something and said," I'll go to the mine to look for him." Then, she turned around and was about to leave. Seeing that her mother was about to look for Ma Xiaohui, Xiao Wei became anxious. She sat up and had no choice but to tell her mother everything that Ma Xiaohui had said. When her mother heard that, she went to look for Auntie Liu angrily.
Auntie Liu was scolded by Xiao Wei's mother for a long time out of embarrassment. She complained that Auntie Liu did not know how to do things. From that day on, the two families broke off contact.
After Ma Xiaohui's mother heard Auntie Liu's story, she was ashamed. She had lived for most of her life and had never done anything wrong to others. This time, she made her feel so embarrassed. She was so anxious that she fell to the ground with a bang.
