Straight Guy's Edible Guide
Chapter 34 Yo Ho My Choice
After lunch, Xie Ansheng wore a straw hat and helped his mother dry the millet in the yard.The sun above my head was scorching hot, and my body was drenched with sweat like water flooding Jinshan.When Xie Ansheng stopped to wipe his sweat, he saw his mother standing in the shadow of the gate, eating melon seeds leisurely, blowing the draft.
Xie An grew up with his mother, the mother and son were almost carved out of the same mold, except that Xie Ansheng's appearance was tougher.
Lin Lan's facial features are very beautiful, but she also has a pair of long eyebrows that hang high, making this face look particularly lively.She didn't suffer much since she was a child. In that era, she was a rare only child, and her parents were intellectuals. If she hadn't met Father Xie, she might have become a talented woman full of ink.
Later, she married Father Xie and lived a good life.In Xie Ansheng's memory, when her father was still alive, Lin Lan almost never interfered with the housework, and he doted on her.Xie's father was an orphan when he was very young, so Lin Lan didn't even have to deal with the most dreaded hurdle of many Chinese daughters-in-law after marriage-the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Time has not left many traces on her face, her old age only stays in the few years when Xie's father passed away, and her heart is full of grief, and she has to deal with those distant relatives who swarm up to take advantage of her.In the end, she slowly cheered up, taking the compensation left by Xie's father after the car accident, the family had land and a house, and Xie Ansheng didn't need her money, so she lived well by herself.
At least Xie An hadn't worried about her mother's poor life in the past few years. In his opinion, he didn't need to worry about Sister Lan's innate optimism that even if the sky fell, she would be able to stand tall.
It wasn't until today that he began to seriously consider: In fact, mother is also afraid of loneliness, and also needs someone to accompany her.
"Mom, you should find a partner." Xie Ansheng said, "I think the 'Looking for Second Spring' column on Dolphin TV is good. Shall I sign up for you?"
Facing her son's filial piety suggestion, Lin Lan's response was that the goddess threw a lot of melon seed husks like scattered flowers, and Xie Ansheng didn't get any on him, it was all scattered into the millet.
"Sister Lan, you're in menopause! It's going to be a long time to pick it up!" Farmer Xie Ansheng looked at the freshly picked millet on the ground with a bitter face, all mixed with melon seed shells.
"Don't worry about my old lady's affairs!" Lin Lan rolled her eyes, showing no sympathy for her own son, "Hurry up and pick it up!"
The filial son Xie Ansheng did not dare to disobey the queen mother, obediently put the rake aside, and when he squatted down to pick up the melon seeds and shells, he felt sad, and felt that he was simply the modern male version of Cinderella, the stepmother whose own mother and others dumped the beans into the ashes almost.
"Hey, don't talk about me, Xie Ansheng, when will you bring a girl back to accompany me?" Lin Lan said vaguely, cracking the melon seed shells.
"Don't take it." Xie Ansheng didn't look up, "Bringing it back is also to humiliate you, this wicked mother-in-law. I don't want it."
Lin Lan immediately laughed, "Oh, you can still use bullying. It's insulting, son, you are awesome."
Genes are really amazing. Lin Lan treats Xie Ansheng the same way Xie Ansheng treats Tao Leping.
"At any rate, I also went to high school. Mom, you hurt people like this." Cinderella Xie said sadly.
"Oh, to be honest, you're already 24, and I've never seen you talk about a girlfriend?" Lin Lan had just said it casually, but suddenly thought of something in horror, "Son, you can't be gay! "
Xie Ansheng finally picked up the melon seed husks, stood up and threw a handful of melon seed husks into the trash can, by the way, he taught Lin Lan earnestly: "Sister Lan, don't keep reading messy things on the Internet, you even know about homosexuality For the sake of your physical and mental health, I will not help you pay the Internet fee next time."
"Go, go! Even homosexuals don't know how rustic I am?" Lin Lan finally collected the melon seeds, moved a small bench into the house, and left melon seed husks all over the floor.
After Xie Ansheng finished drying the millet, he entered the house and found his mother lying in his small room, without turning on the computer to listen to music, just staring blankly with her eyes open.
Xie Ansheng picked up the cattail fan on the side, and sat by the bed to fan Lin Lan.Mrs. Xie has a cold body and doesn't like blowing fans even in hot weather.
"An'an, I had a dream." Lin Lan looked at the ceiling gently and said softly.
Xie Ansheng didn't speak, and quietly helped him with the cattail fan, feeling a little sad suddenly.Looking at it from this angle, he realized that his sister Lan was really old.Fine lines began to appear at the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, and the skin became much dry.
"I dreamed about your dad." Lin Lan turned her head to look at him, the corners of her eyes were a little moist.
"Your dad is the best man in the world, the best man I've ever seen in my life, even better than your grandfather." Speaking of this, she laughed, and the fine lines around her eyes couldn't stop her beauty.
Xie Ansheng also smiled softly, "The next time I visit my grandfather, I will tell him."
"Anyway, he can't jump out and hit me." Lin Lan said proudly.
Xie Ansheng stopped talking, Lin Lan sighed, "Human, don't you all die in the end, maybe you can get together after death, if your father doesn't find a ghost wife down there, I'll still get together with him right."
"Don't worry, he likes you so much, he will definitely be willing." Thinking of his peerless good man's father, Xiao Xie, who has always believed that the man bleeds and does not shed tears, feels a pain in his throat.
"But it's been 14 years, two years longer than we have been together." Lin Lan said sadly: "An'an, mom doesn't rush you, so you need to find a daughter-in-law who likes her and she likes you too." A person's life is so long, at least you have to find someone who sees you right, and then you can live up to it. Come to the world for a while..."
"Oh, by the way, we have to find someone with a longer life, less couples and old companions..."
As she spoke, Lin Lan closed her eyes, and the teardrops from the corners of her eyes flowed into her temples laced with silver threads.
Xie Ansheng gently wiped his mother's tears with his hands, but said in a rough voice: "Don't you just want me to bring you a daughter-in-law back, what kind of emotional card..."
"I'm afraid of you, I'll start looking for it now, and then you mustn't dislike my wife!"
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!" Lin Lan opened her eyes in surprise, and the corners of Xie Ansheng's mouth twitched. If his hands were not still wet, he would definitely think that his mother was pretending to cry to cheat his wife!
"Okay, I have to go. I have something to do this afternoon." Xie Ansheng got up and put the cattail fan into Lin Lan's hand.
"Let's go?" Lin Lan also sat up, a little bit reluctant.
"Well, I'll come back to see you next time."
"That's fine... I'll pack a few jars of fermented bean curd for you and give it to your boss to try." Lin Lan said, and was about to go to the refrigerator to get it.
"Don't be so busy, he is a big star, how can he care about those stinky moldy tofu?"
Lin Lan despised him, "It stinks, you can still eat three bowls of rice just by it!"
Xie Ansheng: "..." That's when you're growing up, okay?
In the end, Xie Ansheng still couldn't hold back his mother's enthusiasm, and brought back a jar of fermented bean curd for Xiao Moqian to "try something new".
After returning to the city, Xie Ansheng did not go back to Xiao Moqian's house, but went to a coffee shop next to the pedestrian street.
The name of the coffee shop is also very petty, called "Spend Time".
Going up to the second floor, there are many small compartments separated by curtains. Xie Ansheng glanced around and walked to the one by the window.
Lifting the curtain and entering the seat, a person who was sitting inside turned his head.Xie Ansheng took a rough look at him. This person belongs to the kind of popular face that can't be found by throwing it on the street.
Thanks to the other party for sending such a person to explain to him, Xie Ansheng, who is slightly face-blind, laughed secretly in his heart.
"Mr. Xie." Although the other party looks ordinary, he has a pair of naked eyes.
Xie Ansheng sat upright, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and raised his chin at him, "Tell me, you know about..." Tao Ye circled the words in his heart, but It never came out of his mouth.
The man smiled slightly, "Mr. Xie, please show me the information first. We have spent a lot of time investigating the events of the year. You can't let us do useless work."
Xie Ansheng frowned, took a deep breath of cigarette, and the cubicle was immediately filled with the choking smell of cigarettes, but the man did not frown, and kept smiling at Xie Ansheng.
After a long silence, Xie Ansheng extinguished the remaining cigarette.Since Xiao Moqian lived in Xiao Moqian's house, because Xiao Moqian doesn't smoke, he hasn't smoked for a long time.He couldn't help being a little irritable and flustered just because of the pottery leaves. It seemed that this kind of fluctuation could only be calmed down by cigarettes. However, after only a few puffs, even he was not used to it.
"Call me a cup of milk tea, I'm thirsty." Taking a deep breath, Xie Ansheng said.
The man was still smiling, and rang the bell to call the waiter for Xie Ansheng, but he only ordered a glass of ice water.He turned his head and said to Xie Ansheng: "The funds are not enough, Mr. Xie forgive me."
Xie Ansheng sneered.
Finally, Xie Ansheng took a few sips of ice water before Xie Ansheng made up his mind, and slowly took out a file bag from his backpack that looked exactly like the one in Xiao Moqian's bedside cabinet.
Seeing the file bag, the eyes of the person on the opposite side brightened obviously, and the body sat up straighter.
Xie Ansheng put the file bag on the table, but when the man wanted to reach for it, he held it down again, so that the man could not move it.
"Now you can talk, right?" Xie Ansheng looked at him coldly.
The other party's eyes flashed, and he sat back slowly, and said calmly, "Mr. Xie, forgive me. The boss said that I can only speak when I see the information. I am also a part-time worker."
Xie Ansheng gritted his molars, and said viciously: "The information is here, and I won't lie to you!"
No matter how threatened he was, the man was still sitting across from him with an old god, with a smile on his face, and refused to let go.
Xie Ansheng gave up and let go of his hand.
A look of joy flashed in that person's eyes, and he tore the file bag away quickly, fearing that Xie Ansheng would snatch it away again.Xie Ansheng just put his hands on his chest and looked at him coldly.
"Mr. Xie is indeed a cheerful person..." the man said while removing the stitches.
"Then you can say it?" Xie Ansheng said.
"No rush, wait for me..." Opening the file bag, and seeing the information he was thinking about, the man looked up at Xie Ansheng with a look of astonishment, "Mr. Xie, what does this mean?"
There is a stack of blank paper in the file bag!
Seeing that the other party's face finally changed, Xie Ansheng smiled proudly, "That's what you saw."
"Don't you want to know the cause of Tao Ye's death?!" The man who had been tricked was no longer polite, and looked at Xie Ansheng with a hostile expression, and his tone became aggressive.
"I disdain." Xie Ansheng stood up and looked at her, "I will avenge her myself instead of using such despicable means."
"Tell your master, don't blame me in the future."
"Oh? He said that?"
In the 30-storey office, behind Bai Shaonan is a whole wall of blue transparent windows.Most people would feel afraid of heights at this height, but Bai Shaonan leaned against the window and looked down, with a leisurely smile still on his face.
"I still underestimate him."
"Boss, what should we do next?" The person who asked the question had a public face and a pair of naked eyes, standing respectfully behind Bai Shaonan.
"This chip is not big enough, of course I have to change it. Let me tell you who you caught, did you catch it?"
Dazhonglian hesitated for a moment, and said: "The child is well protected, we have no place to attack..." Seeing that the boss's face became ugly, Dazhonglian immediately quickened his tone, and continued: "But we can start with the surnamed Feng. !"
"Hurry up, Xiao Moqian has already started." Bai Shaonan frowned and scolded, then laughed again, "Feng Yuan... I haven't seen him for many years."
"Yes!"
The public walked out of the boss's office with a knowing face, and got on the sightseeing elevator outside in fear, with their backs turned to the back, not daring to look at the rapidly descending scenery behind.
I really don't understand the boss, why is it so strange for the Bai family to cooperate with this small company that is about to close down?What are you doing with such a high office environment... People who are afraid of heights really don't want to work here anymore!

Chapter v is not easy to modify... otz can only read it all after the end.
By the way, in this chapter, Xie Ansheng silently took care of his mother. .Thank you again for your support, it would be even better if there are comments >3
