After the little singer marks the big sister Gao Leng

When Tao Xiaoyu was preparing dinner, Tao Linfei took Tang Manwen to the living room as a matter of course to catch up on the past.

How can there be anything old to continue?Tao Xiaoyu thought worriedly, seeing her mother's flattering appearance, I don't know what she is planning!

Although she was busy, she did not forget to look at the living room from time to time. Their voices would occasionally spread to the kitchen, but she couldn't hear what they were saying at all. She only felt that her mother's laughter was dry and harsh.

When she met Tang Manwen's gaze, Tao Xiaoyu would be sure, the other person looked so calm, so calm that she couldn't tell if she took the initiative to get involved, whether she wanted to help him ease the tension between himself and his mother.

After all, when she was outside the door, the almost hysterical roar of her mother was self-evident; in addition, she had revealed to her earlier that her mother didn't like herself.

Therefore, Sister Manwen's so-called reminiscence is probably because she saw her mother's fear of her, so she intervened quietly under the pretense of reminiscing about the past, so that both herself and her mother had time to calm down.

While preparing dinner, Tao Xiaoyu kept thinking.

"Want to help?"

Just after cutting the tofu and washing the kelp and green onions, Tang Manwen's voice suddenly came from behind, and Tao Xiaoyu was taken aback. She didn't realize when she walked into the kitchen.

"No, the rice is almost ready.

"Just now I ordered grilled eel, beef dish, small crispy chicken, and boiled okra online. Now I only need to cook a kelp tofu soup." Tao Xiaoyu smiled, and that smile was faintly apologetic.

"You're quite nimble, and you can do a lot of things in a short while." Tang Manwen hung her long arms, put her hands on the stove, half bent over, and turned her face to the busy Tao Xiaoyu.

"It's too late to go grocery shopping, so I had to order takeaway from a store I've eaten at before."

"If you have enough time, cooking is quite interesting." Tang Manwen's words were like the sound of running water, which made Tao Xiaoyu feel at ease.

"I know, you like to cook."

"I don't remember ever telling you."

"Manchun told me."

"Did she tell you, or did you ask her? Don't lie." Tang Manwen's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Because of this, Tao Xiaoyu relaxed a little. If the other party spoke rashly to comfort her, or inquired about what happened between herself and her mother, she would definitely be nervous.

What she is most worried about now is that her mother will mention that matter in front of Tang Manwen.

To Tang Manchun and Tao Xiaoyu, she could tell Tang Manchun and Tao Xiaoyu without reservation about the matter with her mother, but to Tang Manwen, she would rather bear this kind of thing alone.

I saw her sitting in the living room chatting with her mother just now, that scene was like a scene from a weird movie, it made her nervous for no reason, but fortunately she came to her side, fortunately, she didn't ask anything.

"Why should I lie, it was obviously Manchun who told me. She also said—"

"What else did she say?"

Tao Xiaoyu bit her tongue secretly, "If you can persuade her to cook for you, then I congratulate you, it means that she is about to open the door to you." How can you say such a thing!

"She said your biggest hobby is cooking."

"Not honest!" Tang Manwen easily caught the dodge in her eyes, but didn't press her any further.

"If you don't believe it, forget it."

"I like to cook, but I don't have much time and I rarely cook."

"I think so, people with such a high hourly salary, how can they have time to do housework."

Tao Xiaoyu smiled more naturally this time.

Tang Manwen straightened her lips and looked at Tao Xiaoyu's smiling face. Her dimples were very beautiful.

The two of them recalled the previous conversation at the same time. Tang Manwen remembered that she jokingly said to Tao Xiaoyu that time, "I should be your creditor in the past few years."

It is obviously a small matter that has passed for a long time, but it will suddenly be remembered at such a specific moment.

Tang Manwen looked towards the living room, and Tao Lingfei disappeared, "Teacher Tao has really changed a lot."

Tao Xiaoyu subconsciously turned her head and saw that the living room was empty, "Sister Manwen, you should have noticed that my mother and I are exchanging fire. Why do you say you want to reminisce? You should hide far away. "

"Don't you think I can protect you?"

When Tao Xiaoyu heard this, she couldn't help but froze, the water from the faucet rushed towards the green onion in her hand, splashing everywhere.

Although she had already guessed that she was eating at home because of herself, she still felt unreal when she heard Tang Manwen say it so bluntly, and she was especially surprised that she would be so blunt.

"Sister Manwen, thank you."

"You owe me another favor."

"I'm sorry for letting you see this scene."

"Do you think you did something wrong?"

Tao Xiaoyu froze again, she settled down, she looked at Tang Manwen, then shook her head.

"Then you don't have to feel sorry."

"My mother she—"

"Teacher Tao is very nice. In the past, everyone liked her very much at school."

"Really?" Tao Xiaoyu couldn't imagine what the mother everyone liked was like.

Tang Manwen defended her mother at this time, she must not want to embarrass herself!She thought that anyone who heard her mother's sharp cry outside the door would be terrified and disgusted.

"of course."

The conversation was temporarily terminated, and Tao Xiaoyu began to cook soup.

After a while, the slight sweetness of kelp tofu soup escaped from the range hood and floated into the middle of the rice fragrance.

Tao Xiaoyu occasionally stirred the soup pot.

Tang Manwen sat on the wooden kitchen chair with her chin resting on the arm resting on the back of the chair. She liked the kitchen time very much, especially in such a spacious and clean kitchen.Such leisurely family time is precious to her.

Time passed quietly, and suddenly Tao Xiaoyu's phone rang, and the takeaway had arrived.

She turned down the fire, "Sister Manwen, can you come with me to pick up some takeaway?"

"Okay." Tang Manwen stood up.

It's like deliberately leaving space for Tang Manwen and Tao Xiaoyu, until the takeaway was brought back and the table was set, Tao Linfei still didn't show up.

"Sister Manwen, wait a moment, I'll call my mother, she must have gone upstairs."

After Tao novel finished, he ran up to the second floor.

After a while, their mother and daughter went downstairs one after the other.

The dinner wasn't pleasant, but it wasn't awkward either.

Tao Linfei fell asleep for a while, and the tired look on his face faded a little.

She was obviously hungry and didn't talk much while eating.

As for Tang Manwen, she still likes to drink soup as before, "The kelp tofu soup made by Xiaoyu is sweet and delicious, and delicious."

"I'll serve you another bowl." Tao Xiaoyu said to her beside her.

"it is good."

Tao Lingfei, who was sitting across from her, suddenly raised her head and stared at them. She was not sure if it was an illusion. Her daughter and Tang Manwen seemed to be in love. Their tone was so intimate. The action of catching the bowl is so familiar, and the tacit appearance is like a pair of couples who have lived together for many years.

Tao Xiaoyu noticed her mother's gaze, "Mom, this eel is from the shop that grandma and you used to like."

"Well, I know." Tao Linfei's tone was very indifferent. "Miss Tang, don't dislike our common people's simple food. Please bear with me." In contrast, this tone was too enthusiastic, so that it seemed a bit flattering.

"How could it be! I like the soup made by Xiaoyu very much."

Is it?Tao Xiaoyu was secretly happy when he heard this.

Tang Manwen's unexpected praise dilutes the regret in her heart that the date has failed, and the worries in her heart are temporarily suppressed.

The dinner continued, and they talked a few words from time to time.

At the end of the dinner, Tao Linfei saw Tang Manwen put down the bowls and chopsticks. She didn't wait for Tao Xiaoyu to still drink the soup. After clearing her throat, she said, "Miss Tang, what is between me and Tao Xiaoyu?" There is one thing, I want you to comment on our mother and daughter, and please give me your advice."

Hearing this, Tao Xiaoyu almost choked on the soup that was just delivered to his mouth.

It could be heard that Tao Xiaoyu was frightened, Tang Manwen looked at her hurriedly, and did not rush to answer Tao Linfei.

At this time, Tao Xiaoyu had recovered, she knew what Tao Lingfei was going to say, she quickly put down the spoon and said to stop her: "Mom, can we talk about that matter later?"

Tao Linfei turned a deaf ear to her daughter's words, "Miss Tang, how are you doing?"

Tang Manwen glanced coldly at Tao Linfei who was opposite her, "Don't dare to teach me, I wonder what's going on between Teacher Tao and Xiaoyu?" Her tone was also cold enough.Of the mother and daughter, one is too kind; the other is too ruthless.It is also rare to see a mother and daughter with such a big contrast.

So, Tao Linfei explained her tragic experience and how Tao Xiaoyu put her life and death at risk, and finally did not forget to accuse her daughter of being a white-eyed wolf and a wicked ghost.

Not only Tao Xiaoyu was embarrassed, Tang Manwen was also extremely embarrassed to hear it.

After Tao Linfei finished talking, Tang Manwen did not respond to her, but turned to Tao Xiaoyu, "I also want to hear what Xiaoyu has to say."

At this time, Tao Linfei realized belatedly that the way of selling miserably did not work for Tang Manwen, and at this time she also realized that it was obviously impossible for her to stand on her side.

"The main reason has been made very clear before. It's not a joint debt between the husband and wife. Mom, you have no obligation to pay back the money. This is one of them; secondly, I don't have that much money."

"You lied!" Tao Linfei showed her true nature, and finally no longer cared about Tang Manwen's presence, "You are a popular singer, how could you have no money? You just don't want to help your mother, you just don't want her to live well, you just want to watch Mother's in the mud! If your grandma knew how unfeeling you were, she'd be so angry—"

"Teacher Tao!" Tang Manwen interrupted Tao Linfei when she saw that Tao Xiaoyu was blushing, "Didn't you just want to hear my opinion?"

Tao Linfei didn't dare to yell at Tang Manwen, so she kept her mouth shut for a while, but the annoyance on her face was almost overwhelming, her whole face was dark and heavy, and her eyes seemed to burst into flames.

"Please speak."

"Teacher Tao wants to help her husband repay the debt, I can understand, but as Xiaoyu said just now, that is not your obligation, and you don't have to bear this responsibility at the legal level; secondly, Xiaoyu has no such obligation, besides, She said she has no money, and it would be unfair for Teacher Tao to kidnap her morally."

"She has no money, how can she have no money?!" Tao Linfei looked at Tao Xiaoyu, "She just doesn't want to help me, she wants to occupy this old house left by my mother by herself! I told her However, if we sell this house, both of us can live more easily, but she just doesn’t listen, she’s bullying me in Singapore, is there anything I can do about it?! Ms. Tang, I’m not an unreasonable mother either, But in this world, how can there be children without a married couple? Although it is not my joint debt with him, how can I just watch him have a family and cannot return, hiding in Tibet all day—"

"Mom, grandma said it. She said it before she died. You were there at the time. She said that this house was the painstaking effort of her father's generation and the foundation of our Tao family. It cannot be sold if it does not involve life and death. Grandma has only been away for more than three years. It’s impossible for you to just forget these things, right? Now, I have nothing, and if you sell this house, I’ll really be homeless—” Tao Xiaoyu couldn’t go on anymore, she bit her lip, lowered her head, and shed tears Tick ​​tock falls.

"What homelessness? After selling this house, you can buy as many homes as you want!" Tao Linfei was still reluctant.

"Otherwise, Teacher Tao's shortfall is not much money, so I can help you this time."

After Tang Manwen finished speaking, the kitchen was instantly quiet.

Tao Linfei obviously didn't expect what was going to happen. She was stunned for a moment, and then she hurriedly said, "How is that so embarrassing? How is this so embarrassing!" She was so excited that she pinched her thigh under the dining table, fearing that this was a dream, "The Tang family She has always been generous, and Miss Tang has inherited her family tradition and carried it forward, she is simply generous beyond the reach of the world, how can I repay this great kindness!" Her voice became sharp and dry, and her expression was full of sympathy. It was a forced smile.

"Since it's helping, Teacher Tao doesn't have to worry about it."

Tao Xiaoyu on the side only recovered from the shock at this time, it was too late for her to stop, and if she opened her mouth to stop at this time, with Tao Linfei's character, she would have shouted on the spot and cursed herself for it for the rest of her life.

"Sister Manwen, how can this work!" In her heart, she really objected to Tang Manwen helping this favor.

"If Teacher Tao's husband is sentenced, life will be very bad."

"Amitabha, Ms. Tang has a bodhisattva heart and can imagine for others. Unlike Tao Xiaoyu, I don't know why I have such an enemy. She is sent by heaven to torture me! Alas, I have a headache." Tao Lingfei pretended to cover Live on the right forehead.

Tang Manwen looked at her awkwardly, then at Tao Xiaoyu, hesitant to speak.

Tao Xiaoyu didn't say anything else, she took out two tissues, wiped away her tears, got up silently, and started to clear the dining table.

After the matter was done, Tao Linfei got up, she shook her hands, and hurriedly left the restaurant while Tang Manwen was walking towards the sink with the bowl and chopsticks.

Tang Manwen put the tableware in the sink, and after washing her hands, she said, "I'll wait for you in the living room."

She knew that Tao Xiaoyu had something to say.

Tao Xiaoyu nodded silently with red eyes.
