hurry time, love slowly

Chapter 76 Li Mei and Mo Xiaobei Communicate

When Mo Xiaobei came home, he saw a table full of dishes, steaming...

Yang Jie and Li Mei were chatting, Xiao Nan was playing games, talking and laughing in the room.

While changing her shoes, Mo Xiaobei watched everyone scrambling to eat. The atmosphere of life and warmth in the room caught off guard and filled all of Mo Xiaobei's senses. She had a sore nose and hurriedly said, "I'm going to wash my hands."

In the bathroom, Mo Xiaobei looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes were already moist, she adjusted her emotions so that no one would see any clues.

The four of them sat cross-legged, and Xiaobei said, "How do you do so many dishes?"

Li Mei served soup for everyone and said, "I know you don't eat well when you work outside, so I finally came here once, so I'll make you some more delicious food."

Mo Xiaobei took the bowl from his mother, and he didn't dare to ask her why she came, but just buried his head in drinking the soup.

"Auntie, the food you cook is really delicious, much better than my mother." Yang Jie said after taking a sip of the soup.

Li Mei smiled and handed the soup to Xiao Nan: "Yang Jie, your little mouth is so sweet, if Xiao Bei can talk like you..."

"Mom!" Xiao Nan stopped her mother from continuing.

Li Mei understood, and glanced at Xiaobei again: "Eat, eat, finish it all, otherwise it will be bad to eat leftovers tomorrow."

Xiaobei pretended not to hear anything, but she felt a little disappointed in her heart. It seemed that she had come all the way to educate her.

She was hungry at first, but now, after drinking a bowl of soup, Xiaobei felt that she could not eat anymore, and always felt flustered in her stomach.

"You guys eat, I'm full." Xiaobei put down the bowl and said.

"Why do you eat so little?" Li Mei asked.

"Not too hungry, I ate some snacks at the company." Mo Xiaobei responded.

After eating, Mo Xiaobei washed the dishes, Yang Jie came to the kitchen: "Auntie is watching TV in the room, she has something to tell you, after you wash the dishes, go in quickly, Xiao Nan and I will go downstairs to buy some fruit."

"Hmm..." Mo Xiaobei replied, "I know, I can't hide."

Mo Xiaobei washed the dishes, wiped his hands, and leaned on the stove, anticipating what his mother was going to talk to her about.

She was rehearsing how to talk to her mother so as not to make everyone unhappy, and how to use clever language so as not to make her sad.

She thought for a moment, and sent a message to Gu Yan: "Everything will not develop as we expected."

Mo Xiaobei went back to the room and closed the door. Li Mei was about to suspend the TV, but he didn't know how to do it. Mo Xiaobei pressed the space bar, then sat on the bed, waiting for his mother's education.

But the mother sat on the chair with her head down, without saying a word, she looked like a child who had done something wrong.

Mo Xiaobei was a little at a loss: "Mom... you... what's wrong with you... did something serious happen at home?"

"Xiaobei, you have suffered a lot these years." Li Mei interrupted Mo Xiaobei.

"How do you say this properly?" Mo Xiaobei felt a little unsuitable for his mother's way of communicating, picking his fingernails.

"Go to work at nine o'clock, and get off work at eight or nine o'clock. I can only rest one day a week. I live in this palm-sized place, and the rent alone is 1500." Li Mei looked around the house and said.

"I'm not alone. We are ordinary people who want to live in a big city. We all live this kind of life. It's no big deal." Xiaobei comforted his mother.

Li Mei continued: "Food, water, electricity, and daily necessities add up to a lot of expenses. I can't eat a hot meal when I come back from get off work, and I have to work part-time at night. I can't sleep until midnight... every month I have to pay off the family debt..."

"Yang Jie has already told me that you have not been easy all these years...I should have thought of it...it's my mother...it's my mother's bad..." Li Mei choked up.

Mo Xiaobei squatted on the ground, holding his mother's hand: "Mom...don't be like this...I'm fine...don't listen to what Yang Jie said...I'm really doing well."

Mo Xiaobei looked at his mother like this, he was not used to it, and he even felt a little guilty. He had already concluded that his mother was here to punish the teacher...

Li Mei stroked Xiaobei's hair: "Son, let's have a good chat today, okay?" Mo Xiaobei was stunned, then nodded.

Gu Yan received Xiaobei's message and immediately replied: "Do you need my help? I'll pick you up? I'm worried that you will encounter the same thing on New Year's Eve again."

After Gu Yan finished the video conference in the study, he looked at his phone. Mo Xiaobei hadn't replied yet, so he read the book in the study for another hour, but the phone still didn't move.

Then he put the phone on the desk in the ringing state, went to the door and turned back, took the phone and took it to the bathroom.

What he didn't realize was that, for the first time in his life, he had taken his phone to the bathroom.

It's already 9 o'clock, Gu Yan took out the milk from the refrigerator, and sat on the bar counter in the open kitchen to read the news. After washing the milk cup, he habitually set his phone to vibrate mode and placed it on the coffee table in the living room. Turn off the lights.

It was Gu Yan's habit for many years not to bring his mobile phone into the bedroom. He was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, and what appeared in his mind was Mo Xiaobei's unusual expression today.

Why did her mother's arrival put so much pressure on her? Her anxious appearance made Gu Yan feel uneasy.

He was really worried, so he got up and changed his clothes again, and drove to the community where Mo Xiaobei lived...

……

Yang Jie and Mo Xiaonan were sitting in the convenience store downstairs in the community, eating oden.

Yang Jie said worriedly: "I don't know how your sister and aunt are talking. Don't start arguing, why don't I go back and have a look?"

"Don't worry, they will untie the knot." Mo Xiaonan said firmly.

"How do you know?" Yang Jie asked in surprise, no one knew better than her the grudge between Xiao Bei and his parents.

For so many years, Xiaobei's parents have not realized their problems, how could they suddenly understand her.

"I told my mother about my sister suffering from mild depression and anxiety," Mo Xiaonan said.

He looked at the oden in his hand and continued: "My mother cried, very remorseful and remorseful, since I can remember, I have never seen my mother cry, even if she and my father fought, she never cried."

"What's the matter with you, didn't I tell you not to tell me? I promised your sister that I won't tell anyone. Your mother is quite old, why are you so ignorant..." Yang Jie was impatient.

Xiao Nan explained: "Listen to me, people with old feudal thinking like my parents, if you conceal important and serious events, they will not realize that they have problems."

"In their minds, the love of childbirth is as heavy as a mountain, the eldest sister is like a mother, there are only ignorant children in the world, and there are no wrong parents..." Mo Xiaonan said.

"They will only think that everything my sister does is right, and they won't understand my sister's hard work, I know them too well." Mo Xiaonan looked at Yang Jie and said, "Compared to my parents, I love my sister more. "

Yang Jie looked at Mo Xiaonan with red eyes, pinched Xiaonan's face: "Your sister didn't love you for nothing..."

Mo Xiaonan pulled Yang Jie's hand away: "Yang Jie, don't be like this, I'm not a child anymore."

"Why are you not a child? I still remember you wearing crotch pants." Yang Jie teased Xiao Nan.

"Huh... that's not right... why don't you call me sister, and call me by my name directly? The wings are hard, right? Ah? It's not big or small!"

Mo Xiaonan blushed: "I won't call you sister anymore, you are not my real sister."

"You little heartless." Yang Jie pinched Xiao Nan's face again.

Xiao Nan grabbed her hand, but Yang Jie couldn't break free: "How is it? I told you I'm not a child." Then she gently released Yang Jie's hand.

"Childish." Yang Jie laughed.
