she's not at ease

The New Year comes in a swirling snow.

The whole city became white overnight, and the thick snowflakes covered the colorful colors in the city, making the colors of the sky and the earth become unified.

Lu Yi didn't stay in the capital this year. She didn't go back to her hometown for a long time. She went back to her hometown with her mother this year, so they missed their first New Year together so perfectly.

But even this can't stop the stickiness of the passionate love period.

In the rural compound with poor signal, Lu's mother would see such a picture from time to time when she went out to pour water occasionally.

She would see her daughter wrapped in the family's army coat and huddled inside, standing on the small slope outside the old house persistently on the small slope outside the old house, talking to herself several times. Walking over, Lu Yi looked terrified.

It was only later that I found out if I was talking to myself, I was just wearing a bluetooth headset and I didn’t know who I was talking to on the phone.

The reason why I had to stand on a small slope was because the signal in the house was not very good, so I found an open place.

The communication was too frequent, and Mother Lu smelled the sour smell of love.

At night, the two mother and daughter were lying on the warm old kang in the countryside chatting at night, and mother Lu asked cautiously: "Xiaoyi, are you in love?"

She often asks this kind of question, and most of the time when she asks it, she will sink into the sea or get a negative answer.

This time, Mother Lu had inexplicable expectations.

It is really that my daughter's recent reaction is too abnormal. Since leaving the capital, she is either holding her mobile phone or holding her mobile phone every day.

In the past, it could be prevaricated as a "work phone call", but who would be so ignorant to talk to you about work now after the Chinese New Year?

The only answer left is just around the corner.

"Yeah." Lu Yi didn't hide it, she hummed softly from her nasal cavity as a response.

In the small room, the light is very dark and very dark. After the lights are turned off, it is really dark and you can't see anything.

In the dark, Lu Yi pursed her lips and smiled silently, waiting for her mother's reaction.

Sure enough, one second, two seconds, three seconds.

Such a sudden news was briefly digested by Lu Xuemei, and then she let out a short cry of excitement, followed by questions and urging voices——

"Whose boy is it?"

"Have I seen it?"

"How old is he, what does he do at home, and how do you know each other?"

It was nothing more than these questions, so many were asked that Lu Yi didn't know which question to start answering.

She simply chose to keep everything secret and only revealed a little bit.

"We've only been together for a short time, so I won't tell you who you are for now." There are still too many uncertainties in the future, and it's too early to talk about seeing your parents now.

"But one thing, Mom..."

"She's a girl, not a boy."

Lu Yi's voice was soft, like a feather floating down from the air in this silent night, but to Lu Xuemei it was not a feather.

This is equivalent to suddenly throwing a large stone onto a calm lake, followed by countless splashes.

"girl?"

"……girl?"

She repeated her daughter's words two or three times, wondering if she was hallucinating: "How can a girl..."

"Why not?" Lu Yi cut off her words and asked back.

Her own mother still knows her best, she paused, and began to patiently explain to the other party: "Mom, I have always liked girls since I was sensible, just like you have always liked boys."

"I like them all, but the objects I like are different."

"You can't like apples, I like pears, and if you don't like pears, don't let me eat pears?"

The words were a bit devious, and she successfully got Lu Xuemei in.

She was stupefied, and always felt that something was wrong with what her daughter said, as if she was changing the concept secretly, but it sounded different.

When she came to her senses and wanted to ask again, Lu Yi had already turned her back to sleep.

In the next few days, Lu Yi continued to pour some homemade chicken soup into her mother. Hearing that Lu Xuemei's thoughts began to change subtly and gradually, she felt that what her daughter said was right. Other than health and happiness, other things in life seemed not so important. up.

It's just that Lu Yi's tone is too tight, so far she still doesn't know who the other party's love partner is.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the two mothers and daughters put some local specialties and local eggs prepared by the elderly into the trunk of the car, and drove out along the road when they came.

The snow on the roads on both sides of the country has almost melted, and the snow that can be seen after getting on the highway is much less. The long-lost sun appears behind the clouds and sticks out half of his head from time to time. The weather forecast says it is cloudy It turns sunny.

On the night of returning to the capital, Lu's mother quickly called Luo Yao and asked her to come home for dinner.

The little local chickens brought back from the countryside have been slaughtered and put into the stew pot before they have time to get acquainted with the difference between the cement floor in the capital city and the clay floor in the country. The whole house was filled with a gluttonous chicken soup smell in a short while.

Luo Yao sat with Lu's mother in the living room for a while, and she was so greedy for the taste of the chicken soup. She was a little curious: "Aunt Lu, is the chicken soup made from country chicken really better than the one bought in the supermarket?"

"Of course, this is raised by our family. It grew up on whole grains. It is more nutritious than the big fat chickens in the city!"

Lu Xuemei's eyes widened and she tried her best to argue.

The word "big fat chicken" made Luo Yao burst into laughter. She never thought that Mother Lu would use such a word to describe the chickens raised in batches today.

"Then I'll eat more later."

She narrowed her eyes with a smile but didn't refute, just obediently responded.

Mother Lu was very satisfied with Luo Yao's performance.

After a while, she opened her voice and shouted into the kitchen again: "Xiaoyi, why did you take so long to cut fruit!"

The voice passed through the living room and directly into the kitchen. Lu Yi poked her head out of the kitchen helplessly: "There is still a while, can't you chat with Luo Yao first?"

You can see that she is still wearing an apron, looking very homely.

"Anyway, don't you like to chat with her?" After speaking, she got into the kitchen again.

There was a faint sour taste in the words.

It's just that such a subtle "sour" mother Lu obviously didn't feel it. She only felt that what her daughter said made sense, so she sat back on the sofa peacefully and began to chat with Luo Yao about the interesting things that happened when she returned to her hometown these days. After talking, it was natural to talk about Lu Yi's love affair.

Speaking of this matter, Lu Xuemei couldn't help asking Luo Yao: "She said she was in love with a girl, but she refused to tell me who she was or how old she was, which made me very uncertain."

"Yaoyao, do you know?"

"I...maybe know." Luo Yao hesitated for a while, but finally vaguely passed it on.

Since Lu Yi didn't tell her mother clearly, she must have her own intentions, and there's no need for her to do it for her.

"Maybe?" Lu's mother savored the word carefully, and after a while, she recalled, "That means knowing."

Luo Yao smiled mysteriously.

In Lu Xuemei's eyes, that look was exactly the same as Lu Yi's every time she said "keep it secret" to herself.

Obviously the answer is right in front of her eyes, but no one tells her, it just makes people feel itchy.

"Come here, let's see my favorite fruit platter!" Just at this time, there was a sound from the kitchen.

Lu Yi finally finished processing the fruit, and was walking towards the living room with a bowl of fruit platter.

The apron on her body hadn't been taken off yet, and she was just about to sit on the sofa after putting the plate in her hand on the coffee table, when Lu's mother stopped her: "Take off the apron before sitting down!"

"How unhygienic."

This is not aimed at Lu Yi, but a habit that the family has always had.

So Lu Yi's sitting down was interrupted, and she could only put her free hands behind her back to prepare to untie her apron.

At this time, Luo Yao, who was sitting by the side, spoke.

"Let me do it." She moved faster than Lu Yi, stood up from the sofa, put her hands on the other's waist, and easily untied the apron.

This is not the most important thing, the main thing is that after untiing the apron, Luo Yao did not sit down immediately, but habitually walked around to the position in front of Lu Yi, and then stretched out his hands to gently untie the apron on Lu Yi's body Open it and hold it in your hand.

This scene has been staged countless times in Luo Yao's small villa, and both of them are used to it.

but……

"Let me tell you," such a small movement unraveled the doubts that had always existed in Lu's mother's heart at this moment. She stepped forward and grabbed Luo Yao's wrist, "You..."

"What's the matter, auntie?" Luo Yao lowered her eyes and stared at the place where she was caught, a little dazed.

Almost instantly, several thoughts flashed through Lu's mother's mind.

After a while, she squeezed out two words from between her lips and teeth: "It's okay."

Between directly revealing the relationship between the two and continuing to hide it and accompany them in acting, Mother Lu chose the latter.

Perhaps the best time is to wait until the two of them are willing to confess.

Thinking of this, she cheerfully took the apron from Luo Yao's hand and walked towards the kitchen.

So this is the best New Year gift~
