Long Anping alighted from the express taxi and walked in the gentle wind and drizzle. He wanted to measure how far the road home was. As he got closer, the Long family's residence, which was located at the foot of Phoenix Mountain and among the bamboos of Xiang Concubine, entered his sight.
Long Anping's mother, Madame Long, had already opened the door before he even got close to the courtyard. When Long Anping saw his mother, he rushed over excitedly and held her up.
" Ping 'er, you're back…" Madame Long said. Before she knew it, Madame Long's eyes were filled with tears, but they were tears of joy.
"Mommy!" Long Anping tilted his head and shouted excitedly as he helped his mother into the house.
After entering the house, the mother and son sat down on the sofa.
"Where's dad?"
"Your dad went to the street to buy vegetables. I knew you were coming back, so I went to the streets early in the morning. Your dad and I had a dream last night. The dream was really effective! My dreams have always been very accurate. See, you're back!”
"Mom, what do you want to eat? What do you want to drink?"
"Mom is happy to see you. Ping 'er, are you used to living in Qingchuan? How are you getting along with your colleagues? After your Brother Huangfu returns to the Eastern Capital, when will you come visit us again? Does Ye Di still write to you often? Is she alright?"
Long Anping answered his mother. Madame Long got up and walked to the bedroom, bringing over a small bag of things. Madame Long opened it and said," Ping 'er, this is your favorite candied fruit. Your father has prepared it for you. Hurry up and eat. Mom will watch you eat." Madame Long said as she picked out a piece of candied fruit from the bag with a toothpick and handed it to her son. Long Anping took the candied fruit and placed it by his mother's lips, trying his best to make her eat it. Madame Long looked at her handsome and elegant son and smiled happily as she chewed on the candied fruit. Long Anping also picked up a piece of candied fruit and threw it into his mouth, chewing it gently.
Long Anping saw that his mother's hair was a little messy. He quickly took a horn comb from the bathroom and said,""Mom, come, let me smooth your hair.”Madame Long obediently removed the hair clip from her hair and let it spread out. Long Anping combed his mother's hair and chatted with her.
"Yo, Mom, why do you have white hair? Pull it out?"
"No, let it stay. Mom was getting old now, and her hair was starting to turn white. Ping 'er, you'll be 22 years old after the new year. You should also worry about your marriage. As the ancients said, to cultivate one's family, rule the country, and rule the world, one must first get the family! If you think that girl likes it, you should settle down early to avoid any more trouble. However, he could not be two-timing. It would be a sin to delay a girl's marriage! Your grandfather believed in Buddha for a lifetime, ate vegetarian food for a lifetime, and even donated merit to the Taoist temple. Only then did he leave your father and your lineage behind for our Long family. Ping 'er, while your father and I can still move, it's reasonable to raise your children for you. Ye Di and Shangguan Jingyun are both good to me. You really like Ye Di, and I know that. I just don't think Ye Di is a lucky person. " We can't let the Long family go…" Madame Long took this opportunity to spill all the words she had been holding back for a long time and let out a sigh of relief.
After Long Anping fixed his mother's hair, he put on the hair clip and smiled.""Mom, don't worry. I'm also considering this matter. Mom, to tell you the truth, I will only love one person in my life. I will never be two-timing. You watched me grow up. I've always been well-behaved!”
"Ping Er, you're just like your father. Our Long family is a righteous family. From the Han Tang until now, our Long family has always been a wealthy family, and we have never done anything to disgrace our ancestors. Mom doesn't blame you. You're destined to meet with calamities. You can't avoid them. I've found a fortune-teller for you. He said that you should use happiness to wash away evil spirits. This disaster will naturally be relieved.”Madame Long continued to nag along with her thoughts.
Long Anping understood the meaning behind his mother's words. He smiled and said,""Mom, I've always been on the right path. Don't worry. If it was destined to be a disaster, even if he used joy to wash it away, it would probably be useless. Mom, what should come will come sooner or later. I will definitely grasp myself well. In short, I will never let you be frightened again!”
"Well, that's good. Thinking back to that time when the Embroidered Garment class raided the house, it scared her mother to death. Our Long family has been well-behaved for generations and never had such a big incident happen. Your father and I were in shock all day, and your sister's qualification as a normal student was almost revoked. Fortunately, your cousin begged everywhere to keep her student status.”Madame Long's smile was a little stiff. Perhaps the memory of her son being taken away and his house being raided had scared her out of her wits.
"Mom, don't be afraid. It won't happen again. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen. I hate that Master Ao is too vicious. It's just that I'm hot-blooded and have an infinite desire to improve the atmosphere of the court. Now, I can't tell if it's right or wrong.! In short, I won't stir up trouble, I won't poke into the hornet's nest of Master Ao, and I won't cause you any trouble. I've been thinking that if you and Dad live a comfortable life, I'll just be filial to you and Dad.”Long Anping's words were more or less comforting his mother, Madam Long.
"That's good. Ping 'er, our Long family really can't afford to be in trouble. When you got into an accident, your father went to the state capital to look for an acquaintance. He even fell while driving the carriage, and his waist and legs are still hurting. Every night he moaned and groaned. Sigh, Ping 'er, don't think about anything else. Work hard, marry a good wife, and live a good life!”Madame Long reminded her precious son again.
Long Anping was about to say something when the door opened. Long Anping's father, Long Zhanran, walked in.
"Daddy!" Long Anping quickly stood up and took two large baskets from his father.
"Anping, your mother talks about you every day.”Long Zhanran panted heavily and said. However, that blissful smile still overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Dad, you must be tired!"
"This is nothing. Anping, these are your favorite cantaloupes, apples, and bananas. Your mom said that you would definitely come back today. She said that you had a dream.”Long Zhanran took out the fruits and said to his son with a smile.
"Dad, does your waist and legs still hurt?”Long Anping leaned over and asked softly. He then handed the peeled apples to his parents.
"Hey, I told you not to tell Anping. Why did you still tell her?!”Long Zhanran chided warmly.
" Hey, old man, don't groan in pain at night. Don't ask me to massage your back and waist if you can…" Madame Long couldn't help but laugh.
Long Anping smiled slightly. He looked at his mother, then at his father, who had just eaten half an apple and then hurried back into the kitchen. Tears flickered in his eyes."Who would have the heart to destroy a happy and peaceful home?”
Long Anping quietly wiped his tears and said in his heart,'It's so good to have a child with a mother and a father…I have to be filial to my hardworking parents in this life…'
Long Xiangjue pushed the door open and entered with her wet hair draped over her shoulders. Behind her was Shi Xinghai, who was stern and had a gloomy expression.
"Brother, you're back?" Long Xiangjue was a little excited and a little shy as she smiled. She ran a towel through her hair as she walked toward Long Anping. Long Anping was infected by his younger sister Long Xiangjue's youthful vigor.
Long Anping closed the book in his hand and smiled." Sister Jue, you've really grown up. You even have a tail behind you."”
Shi Xinghai greeted Long Anping and walked straight to him. He picked up the book and said," Oh, Anna Karenina."”Then, without saying a word, he sat beside Long Xiangjue and flipped through the " Financial News ".
Long Anping peeled an apple and handed it to Shi Xinghai. Shi Xinghai said stiffly," No!”Long Anping felt a little awkward when he saw that. In his opinion, Shi Xinghai might be an unreasonable person who was difficult to get along with.
Seeing this, Long Xiangjue blushed and explained," He doesn't like to eat fruits, doesn't smoke, and doesn't drink. He just plays a little mahjong when he's free.”
After listening to his sister Long Xiangjue's words, Long Anping understood that his innocent sister had developed true love for Shi Xinghai. For a moment, Long Anping could not say anything else.
Madame Long walked from the bedroom to the living room. When she saw her daughter Long Xiangjue and Shi Xinghai sitting together, her face became tense. Madame Long looked down on her future son-in-law from the bottom of her heart. She often muttered in her heart,'Silly girl, silly woman, I must die at the hands of this monster! Is this damn thing worth your love? The heavens were blind, blind! What did I do in the past? Retribution, retribution…"
Even though Madame Long was extremely unhappy and unhappy, she could not interfere with the freedom of love in this era. She could only sigh and sigh. A woman's life was like a vegetable seed, and she had to have a home. However, a woman's life had to rely on someone. She had to find an honest man who could entrust her life to!
"Jue 'er, didn't we agree to play mahjong when your Brother Ping comes back? Yes, move the mahjong table here to kill time.”Madame Long said.
Long Xiangjue agreed. After a while, the mahjong table and mahjong tiles were all set up.
Madame Long, Long Anping, Long Xiangjue, and Shi Xinghai sat on their respective sides and started playing mahjong. After Shi Xinghai finished playing, he said," It's a little colorful and exciting.”
Long Anping wasn't very good at " building the Great Wall ", but since he was here to play with his future brother-in-law, he made do with it.
Long Xiangjue's luck was particularly good, as he won three rounds in a row. Shi Xinghai, who had studied mahjong tiles, could not sit still. Even though he was dating Long Xiangjue, he felt that Long Xiangjue shouldn't have won. Thus, he held back his anger and endured it. Shi Xinghai held every particle tightly. He either threw the wind or the general, not letting the next player eat a single particle. Alright, it was finally his turn to win a big round. It was all the same, ten times. This time, Shi Xinghai was so happy that he danced around. The face of that miser was immediately exposed. As Long Anping did not have any change in his hands, he still owed 1M.”Shi Xinghai pursed his lips and nodded gloomily.
