"Oh... So that’s why the two of them ended up together,"
Liang Hongi’s words made Lin Wan lower her head and hold her forehead. Alright, Mom is much more perceptive than she expected.
Now that her son has found soone, Liang Hongi is invested. She started preparing around nine o’clock.
She wasn’t afraid of the cold anymore, she killed a chicken and cleaned the house by herself. Looking back at her clothes, she thought she couldn’t embarrass her son, so she quickly changed into a new outfit, rushing and fussing for over two hours. She didn’t even let Lin Wan help. Lin Wan helplessly sat by the stove, occasionally giving Mom a hand with the firewood, while knitting a scarf.
Finally, afraid she wouldn’t be ready in ti and not worried about any danger, Mom used gas for the first ti, becoming quite adept at it.
Just as Liang Hongi finished her work, Lin Yinghui brought Mu Qing along.
Mu Qing wore black pants and a red plaid cotton-padded jacket today, with the scarf her brother gave her wrapped around her neck.
Lin Wan had only seen Mu Qing once before. Looking closely today, Mu Qing really was quite pretty, and she and brother truly had the look of a married couple.
"Hello, Auntie. Hello, Lin sister," Mu Qing politely greeted them.
Nearby, Lin Yinghui said, "Mom, little sister. This is Mu Qing, my... girlfriend," He said this and they both saw the blush on his face.
"Hello, Sister Mu Qing," Lin Wan sweetly replied.
"It’s Little Mu, right? It’s cold outside, hurry inside and sit on the warm kang."
"Yes, yes, brother. You first take Sister Mu Qing inside to warm up and get familiar with our house. Mom and I will prepare the al, it’ll be ready soon."
"Auntie, Lin sister, no need to trouble yourselves. I’m cold too, let help," "No, no, I’m all prepared, just need to serve it. You’ve been on the road so long; quickly go inside." Liang Hongi warmly refused and signaled her son to lead Mu Qing inside.
The mother and daughter returned to the kitchen, Lin Wan quickly asked, "Mom, what do you think?"
"Looks nice, but I don’t know about the character."
"Should be pretty good, doesn’t seem like soone flashy."
Liang Hongi nodded, "I trust your brother’s taste. It shouldn’t be too bad." Speaking of that, Liang Hongi thought of her husband Lin Guozhi sotis teasing her, saying the n in the Lin family have good taste.
She has never been to the Lin family, and doesn’t know if other n are as perceptive as he is. Liang Hongi served seven or eight dishes on the kang, and stead a pot of white rice.
With the door of the main room shut, the wind howled outside, while inside, the four people warmheartedly shared dishes together.
"I don’t know what you like to eat, these are all hotown dishes. Please try them."
"Thank you, Auntie, they’re delicious. I like them very much."
The al was fairly harmonious, during which Mom asked a lot about Mu Qing’s family situation.
Mu Qing said her hotown is Z City, she has a brother and a sister. Her father is the minister of the logistics departnt in the military district, and her mother is a doctor at the hospital.
Her brother is already married, and the couple are both soldiers. She and her sister are still in school.
Listening to Mu Qing’s family situation, Liang Hongi felt a bit disheartened.
The girl’s family has good conditions, her son is a college student from the countryside, without a formal job, the girl’s family might not see them favorably.
After the al, Lin Wan chatted with Mu Qing for a while, only then did Mu Qing present the gifts she brought for them.
The gifts for her and her mom were each a small hand warr, just the right size for two hands to hold, and they were portable.
The craftsmanship was exquisite, made of copper, with intricate patterns carved on the surface.
"I saw these in a supply and marketing cooperative. Ah Hui said you and Auntie are very afraid of the cold, so I thought to buy these. When going to school with a pot of hot water, it can last for an afternoon."
