'As expected of me, Mingcheng will no longer misunderstand Mingyu now.'
Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily and he finally let go of his worries, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but smile. In the quiet carriage, Su Mingzhe looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery.
'The development in the country is really fast. It is changing with each passing day. This road was just built. The last time I came back, I took another road.'
The scenery outside the window flew by like a fly, and a feeling of sleepiness came over him unknowingly while he was thinking. Su Mingzhe had lived in the United States for a long time, and his biological clock was completely on American time. He usually slept soundly at this time.
After Su Mingcheng discovered that his elder brother had fallen asleep, he reached out and turned down the volume of the car stereo. Looking at Su Mingzhe's tired face, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
'Brother, it's not easy to come back. I have to go back again at this time the day after tomorrow.'
This discovery inadvertently brought the two closer together. Su Mingzhe asked for four days' leave from the company for Su Mingcheng's wedding. The round trip took more than two days, and the actual time at home was only one day.
"Brother, we're here."
While he was sleeping, Su Mingzhe felt that his whole body was shaking constantly. He vaguely heard the voice coming from his ears and then remembered that he had returned to China. He opened his eyes and saw the familiar streets and alleys. Su Mingzhe rubbed his eyes and muttered.
.
"Well? Are you home?"
Su Mingcheng nodded: "We're home. Mom went to the vegetable market early in the morning and bought a bunch of your favorite vegetables. I called Mom just now when you were asleep. The meal should be ready now."
Su Mingzhe felt a little hungry when he thought about the food cooked by Su's mother, so he touched his shriveled belly.
"Now that you tell me, I'm really a little hungry. The lunch box on the plane is not delicious at all, but the food at home is delicious. Mingcheng, please remember to take the box, the gifts are all in it."
"Well, brother, don't worry. You go back first and I'll park the car. I'll pick up the box later."
It's a typical old-fashioned alley in Delhi. Cars can't drive in at all. There is a road outside the alley, and the designated parking spaces are basically full. Parking is really inconvenient at ordinary times.
The Tongdeli alley near W30th Road is only 150 meters long. It was built by Shanghai tycoon Du Yuesheng in the 1930s. Strolling in the alley, Su Mingzhe seems to have traveled through time and returned to his school days.
The walls, the lanes paved with bluestone slabs, the clothes drying poles that can be seen everywhere on the road, the plain brick walls, and the high arched coupon doors all make the scene intertwined and look particularly cordial.
Su Mingzhe walked slowly, greeting the neighbors casually from time to time. He is a well-known figure in Tongli. He has been studying since he was a child. He went to a top university in the country and a top graduate school in the world.
.
Nearing the door of his home, the aroma of food drifted out from the window along the narrow alley. Su Mingzhe took a gentle sniff and saw that smoked fish, stewed lion head, fried fish cubes, and meat were all his favorite dishes.
That familiar smell.
"Mom! I'm back!"
Zhao Meilan ran out after hearing the sound. The moment she saw Su Mingzhe, tears welled up in her eyes. She was about to go forward for a hug. Halfway through, she remembered that her hands were all oily, so she quickly wiped them on her apron.
Then he threw himself into Su Mingzhe's arms.
Su Mingzhe patted his mother and said softly: "Mom, stop crying, stop crying."
Zhao Meilan pushed Su Mingzhe away, stretched out her hand to wipe her tears: "Mom, I'm happy, happy. It's not easy for you to work hard abroad. How hard it is. By the way, why didn't Feifei come back with you this time?"
Su Mingzhe was very confused. His mother asked about her daughter-in-law as soon as she came up, but she didn't mention anything about Mingyu. She was not surprised at all that Mingyu didn't come back, as if she had known about it for a long time, but he had never talked to Mingyu.
The family members have said whether Su Mingyu will come back.
"I can't leave unless I have a job. By the way, Mom, why don't you ask Mingyu?"
"ah?"
Zhao Meilan was stunned. Su Mingyu hadn't come back even once since the last quarrel. After so many years, she didn't expect Su Mingyu to come back at all, but she couldn't tell her son these things.
"Have you forgotten? You said that the last time we called?"
"Did I say that?" Su Mingzhe muttered in a low voice. He clearly remembered that he had never mentioned this matter. How could he let out such an important thing? But his mother seemed to have known about it for a long time, and it was not like she said it.
lie.
'Could it be possible that you really said that?'
"Yes, you said that when we called last time." Zhao Meilan repeated what she just said for emphasis.
Su Mingzhe was at a loss and confused. His mother's determined tone made him somewhat hesitant to confirm whether he had said it or not.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You must be tired from the journey. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
Su Mingzhe looked around but did not see Su Daqiang's figure. He couldn't help but wonder: "Dad hasn't come back yet, why don't you wait for him?"
Zhao Meilan waved her hand: "What's the point of waiting? Let's eat first. He will be back soon."
After saying that, she put the food on the table without waiting for Su Mingzhe to react. Today when Su Mingzhe came home, she specially adjusted her shift to cook in person and reward her eldest son who had traveled thousands of miles back home.
"Mom, let me do it. I'll do it. You have been busy all day and it's time to take a rest."
Zhao Meilan shook her head with a smile: "Mom, you're not tired. You can rest. Looking at your listless look, you may not have recovered from the jet lag. You said that your company is also like this. You can't even ask for leave. Not only do you not have wedding leave.
, maternity leave is still unpaid, by the way, when are you and Feifei going to have a baby?"
Su Mingzhe scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "We plan to have it after we get married."
Zhao Meilan was overjoyed when she heard this, her eyes and brows were filled with joy, and she held her eldest son's hand.
"Okay, okay, when Fei Fei gives birth, I will serve her during confinement period. I heard that people in the United States don't do confinement period. They go to work after giving birth. How can this be done? If women don't do confinement period, they will get older."
Those who are serious will suffer."
"Mingzhe, please go back and try to persuade your brother. Mingcheng told me a few days ago that the young couple are not planning to have children for the time being, and they want to make a DINK family. How can this work? You have read a lot of books, please help me to give you more advice.
them."
Su Mingcheng dragged the box back home and happened to hear the last few words Zhao Meilan said, and immediately said: "Mom, what are you trying to persuade me? Didn't I discuss it with you two days ago? You agreed, why do you want to do it again?"
Are you regretting it? Lili's work has been in a critical period in the past few years. The child will be gone for at least half a year in this life, and then the child will not be able to live without his mother until he is two years old, right? The day lily has gone cold due to this delay.
"
Zhao Meilan's face was serious and she said coldly: "I don't care! How can you get married without having children? This has never been the case since ancient times!"
