After the meal, Tong Ling helped Ma Xiaohui clean up. Seeing that it was getting late, she said goodbye to Ma Xiaohui's mother." Xiaohui, it's so dark. Go and send Mrs. Tong off." Ma Xiaohui's mother said to Ma Xiaohui," Okay." Ma Xiaohui readily agreed.
Ma Xiaohui pushed his bicycle and walked out of the house with Tong Ling. Along the way, Tong Ling continued to patiently enlighten him on that topic, but Ma Xiaohui did not respond to her at all.
When they arrived at the door of Tong Ling's single dormitory, Tong Ling was still worried. In a commanding tone, she repeatedly reminded Ma Xiaohui," You must cherish such a good girl like Xiao Wei. You must treat her well and get along well with her. You can't let your mother worry anymore!"”Seeing that Ma Xiaohui did not say anything, Tong Ling said to him again,"Did you hear what I said?”Ma Xiaohui saw how anxious Tong Ling was and replied,"I heard it."”Only then did Tong Ling walk into the dormitory.
Ma Xiaohui was afraid that his mother would bring up the matter between Xiao Wei and his mother like Tong Ling did. He thought to himself,'If I go home later, my mother might fall asleep.' Therefore, he did not ride the bicycle. Instead, he pushed the bicycle home slowly. He arrived home very late.
Ma Xiaohui returned home and pushed open the door to the courtyard. He saw that the lights in the house were still on. When he entered the house, he saw that his mother was not asleep. Instead, she was sitting on the brick bed and waiting for him.
Ma Xiaohui deliberately dawdled, sweeping the floor and washing up. No matter how much he dawdled on the floor, his mother on the brick bed was still waiting patiently for him. Ma Xiaohui saw that his trick was not easy to use. He thought to himself that he could not avoid it even if he dodged it once. He might as well get on the brick bed.
Ma Xiaohui finally got on the bed. He crawled into the blanket and pulled it over his head. "Xiaohui, what do you think about what Mom said?”His mother sat beside his pillow and asked," Mom, I'm too sleepy. I still have to go to work tomorrow morning. Can we talk about that tomorrow?"”Ma Xiaohui replied impatiently from under the blanket. Yes, her son had to go to work tomorrow morning. At the thought of this, her mother did not continue. She took off her clothes, turned off the lights, and lay down under the covers.
After turning off the lights, the room was so dark that nothing could be seen. Ma Xiaohui's mother tossed and turned in bed, coughing. At this moment, Ma Xiaohui was not sleepy. He was also tossing and turning in bed. He was thinking of a countermeasure and looking for a reason. What kind of reason could he use to not make his mother angry and to deal with this troublesome matter in a dignified manner? He racked his brains, but in the end, he still couldn't find a perfect solution.
The next day, Ma Xiaohui woke up early. His eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that he did not sleep well last night. He lit a fire and heated up the leftovers from last night. He ate a little randomly, then put the food into the steaming pot and filled the stove with some crushed coal. Then, he got up and went to work.
Ma Xiaohui's mother didn't sleep well last night either. She barely managed to sleep for a while when the sun was about to rise. The sound of Ma Xiaohui closing the door woke her up, and she immediately lost her sleepiness. She got up and slowly went down to wash her face. She took out the food that her son had heated for her from the pot. She had something on her mind and naturally did not have much appetite. She forced herself to eat a few mouthfuls before putting it down.
Ma Xiaohui's mother walked with difficulty toward Mrs. Gao's house.
Mrs. Gao hadn't had breakfast yet. When she saw Ma Xiaohui's mother, she knew that she must have something to say to her. Because Ma Xiaohui's mother was not in good health, she rarely visited.
Mrs. Gao hurriedly served the dishes and started eating without even washing her face. Mrs. Gao was an impatient person. She finished her meal in no time. Before she could ask, Ma Xiaohui's mother said," Sister-in-law, look at my body. It's hard for me to walk. I'll have to trouble you to go and help me with Xiaohui's matter!”"Alright, I'll go and talk to Xiao Liu now!”Mrs. Gao agreed readily." I'm afraid Xiao Liu won't go to Xiao Wei's house to talk about this again. Didn't Xiao Wei's mother already fall out with her?”"Hey! A clay pot won't leak if it's not broken. It's impossible to say this without saying it. It'll be fine as long as you say it openly. Don't worry, I'll do it now!”Mrs. Gao comforted Ma Xiaohui's mother.
Mrs. Gao came to Xiao Liu's house. She was holding beans in a bamboo tube and poured them out as soon as she entered the house. After talking for a long time, Xiao Liu finally agreed to go to Xiao Wei's house to try again.
In fact, Xiao Wei's family was very fond of Ma Xiaohui. It was just that Xiao Wei came back crying that time. Xiao Wei's mother felt that her daughter had been wronged and lost face, so she took it out on Xiao Liu. After the incident, Xiao Wei's mother was also very regretful. She blamed herself for saying those words to Xiao Liu. After all, she and Xiao Liu's family got along well. They had been on good terms for all these years. How could they fall out with each other just like that! However, she had indeed said those words in a fit of anger that day. She could not take back the water that had been spilled. There were a few times when she wanted to talk things out with Xiao Liu, but when she reached the door of Xiao Liu's house, she did not have the courage to go in. Just like that, the relationship between the two families had been in a stalemate until now. Seeing that Xiao Liu had taken the initiative to come to her house today, Xiao Wei's mother just happened to take advantage of the situation. She hurriedly gave up her seat and poured tea. She kept apologizing for what happened that day. Seeing Xiao Wei's mother treat her so sincerely, Xiao Liu turned over the page. All the grievances she had suffered before were gone.
Xiao Liu explained his intentions, and Xiao Wei's mother was naturally happy when she heard it. Ever since he met Ma Xiaohui, the number of people who came to propose marriage for Xiao Wei could be said to be a strong company. However, Xiao Wei was the same as Ma Xiaohui. He did not look at any of them. Xiao Wei's father did not know what was going on with Xiao Wei, but Xiao Wei's mother knew very well who Xiao Wei was thinking about. Seeing that the young lady was getting older by the day, how could a mother not be anxious? However, Xiao Wei's mother thought, No matter how much the young lady likes Ma Xiaohui, I can't put down my old face and look for Ma Xiaohui personally. She had been worried about this matter for the past few days. She couldn't wait for Ma Xiaohui's family to send someone to tell her about this matter. Today, she saw Xiao Liu come. Isn't this exactly what she wants?
Xiao Liu and Xiao Wei's mother chatted for a long time and came up with a way for Xiao Wei and Ma Xiaohui to meet alone.
Little Wei had just gotten off work and shouted,"Mom, I'm back!" If it were any other day, her mother would definitely agree to come out of the kitchen. But today, she called out," Mom, I'm back!" three times in a row! His mother didn't reply. Xiao Wei was puzzled. It was time to cook. Where could her mother have gone if she was not at home?
Xiao Wei took off her bag and hung it on the coat hook at the door. She was about to sit on the sofa to rest when she suddenly saw a note on the coffee table and a movie ticket beside it. She picked it up and saw that the note said," Girl, the rice is in the pot. Eat it yourself. After dinner, go to the cinema. Your father and I will wait for you there." Little Wei couldn't help but laugh after reading the note. He thought to himself, What's wrong with Mommy and Daddy today? Why are they so romantic?! Whether it was romantic or fashionable, it was rare for a family to watch a movie together.
Xiao Wei looked at the clock hanging on the wall. There was still time. He washed his face and started eating.
After dinner, Little Wei saw that there was plenty of time and decided to change his clothes. However, when she opened the wardrobe and chose again and again, she didn't know which set of clothes to wear. After looking for a long time, she couldn't choose which set of clothes to wear. She thought about it and finally closed the wardrobe door.
Xiao Wei stood in front of the dressing mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. What's wrong with me? Didn't I watch a movie with my mom and dad today? Why did I go on a date?!
Xiao Wei calculated the time and walked out of the house. She rode her bicycle and hummed a tune as she rushed towards the cinema.
Over the years, Ma Xiaohui's mother had been sick. She would have to lie on the brick bed for a few days if she had a little more activity, let alone do housework. Therefore, Ma Xiaohui did not let his mother do any work. Even if he went to work, he would wait for him to come back before making dinner. He would never let his mother do it. However, when Ma Xiaohui came back from work today, he had just walked into the courtyard when he smelled the smell of fried fish. That was why he thought that the smell of fried fish could not have come from his house. It must have come from a neighbor's house.
Ma Xiaohui entered the house and saw a plate of freshly fried ribbonfish on the table. There was also a bowl of rice beside it." Xiaohui, quickly wash your face and eat," Ma Xiaohui's mother urged him. "Mom. Who told you to cook? Didn't I tell you not to cook? What's wrong with you today?" Ma Xiaohui complained to his mother. My heart wants to do it, but it was your Auntie Gao who did it." Ma Xiaohui's mother said to him guiltily. " Mom, if you want to eat fish, let me know. I'll cook for you when I get off work. We should try our best not to trouble Auntie Gao with such trivial matters!" Ma Xiaohui said to his mother while eating. " I didn't want to trouble her either. It was your Auntie Gao's Juan Zi who bought the movie tickets yesterday, but she couldn't go to work tonight. Your Auntie Gao wasn't willing to watch the movie, so she sent the movie tickets to you. I told her to wait until you came back from work to cook and then eat. If she wanted to watch the movie, there wouldn't be enough time. That's why your Auntie Gao cooked for you. She didn't want the movie tickets to go to waste." Her mother explained.
Ma Xiaohui didn't want to go to the movies at first, but when he heard his mother say that, he was still eating Auntie Gao's cooking. Even if he didn't want to go, he really felt embarrassed to refuse.
After dinner, Ma Xiaohui rode his bicycle to the cinema.
