Yuan Lan smiled slightly and hummed softly at Ma Liehuo, who straightened his back even more.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up if you want to buy something!" Ma Xiaoquan urged, Ma Liehuo nodded repeatedly, and ran downstairs with the empty vinegar bottle.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and thought to himself, Dad, Dad, my mother is in love right now, but I just don’t know how you and my mother got together?
He originally thought that he would use some small means to bring his parents together, but Ma Xiaoquan was worried about any changes. After all, although his mother is Yuan Lan now, she is completely different from her mother when she was young, and her figure is quite good.
Like, just in terms of appearance and personality, Ma Xiaoquan never felt that he was the same person. Furthermore, in this era, it should be absolutely impossible to have the kind of plastic surgery that completely changes the head. Even if there is, it will definitely not be able to withstand the passage of time.
Erosion, after decades, the wrinkles on my mother's face will be loose and not fake. Only by aging slowly and naturally can she have that natural look. If it is plastic surgery, if there is no expensive medical beauty and cosmetic surgery in old age,
With the support of cosmetics, 9 out of 10 facial contours will collapse.
After thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan decided to carefully observe how his parents' love developed, how they got together, and whether his mother Yuan Lan was the woman in front of him or someone else.
...
Zhao Minglan felt jealous when she saw Yuan Lan helping Ma Xiaoquan. Although she also knew that Yuan Lan had a partner, and her partner Zhao Minglan also knew her, she just felt uncomfortable watching it.
Looking at the table again, her mother Wang Hong was nestled in the arms of her father Zhao Shanhe. The two were talking quietly, not shying away from her daughter, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Unable to bear it anymore, Zhao Minglan stood up and walked behind Ma Xiaoquan and Yuan Lan, smiling and saying: "How about I come to help, my parents..."
Ma Xiaoquan and Yuan Lan turned their heads to look at Aunt Hong and Uncle Zhao at the same time, and then hummed.
Three people were squeezed into the small space.
Zhao Minglan deliberately squeezed in between Ma Xiaoquan and Yuan Lan. Yuan Lan was talking about a partner. Regarding Zhao Minglan's behavior, Hui Zhilan naturally guessed some clues. She smiled and moved two steps away, comparing the relative changes.
A large space is left for Zhao Minglan.
Zhao Minglan glanced at Yuan Lan gratefully, and Yuan Lan nodded lightly.
"Hey, Xiaohu, have you noticed that Ma Liehuo seems to like Yuan Lan." Zhao Minglan was choosing vegetables when he suddenly said something.
Yuan Lan was stunned, and so was Ma Xiaoquan. Yuan Lan was stunned because of Zhao Minglan's abruptness, and Ma Xiaoquan was stunned because of Zhao Minglan's keen observation.
"What do you think of this?" Ma Xiaoquan asked while choosing the dishes.
Zhao Minglan said: "Yuan Lan is good-looking, and that Ma Liehuo's eyes widened when he saw her!"
Yuan Lan patted Zhao Minglan gently: "Lan Lan, stop talking nonsense, you are annoying~"
Zhao Minglan chuckled: "Yuan Lan, don't believe me. I bet that Ma Liehuo just likes you. There is a saying, oh yes, love at first sight. Yes, it is love at first sight."
Yuan Lan's face turned red instantly. Although she noticed that Ma Liehuo's behavior was abnormal, she really didn't think about it deeply. After all, she was someone with a partner.
"What's love at first sight?" Aunt Hong walked over and asked with a smile.
Zhao Minglan turned around, took Aunt Hong's arm and said, "Mom, that Ma Liehuo likes Yuan Lan, right?"
Aunt Hong was someone who had come before, so she could definitely tell at a glance, but compared to Yuan Lan's carelessness, Aunt Hong asked Yuan Lan tactfully: "Xiaolan, how was your conversation with Wei Dajun?"
Yuan Lan was obviously inexperienced. When Aunt Hong asked her about her affairs with Wei Dajun, she thought that Aunt Hong was changing the subject. Little did she know that Aunt Hong was making judgments, so she asked her about her affairs with Wei Dajun first.
"It's... not bad~~" Yuan Lan said softly.
"I heard that you are getting engaged in a few days?" Aunt Hong asked next.
"Well, that's what I mean, but..."
"But what? Come and talk to Auntie. Auntie is here..." Aunt Hong's seemingly understated question actually no longer allowed Yuan Lan to lie any more.
Yuan Lan sighed: "Originally, we discussed the engagement last time and the two families met separately, but recently Zhao Haitang came to the factory and has been pestering Da Jun..."
"Zhao Haitang?" Aunt Hong looked at Ma Xiaoquan, do you know what it means?
Ma Xiaoquan blinked and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "There really is such a person, a woman, not very good looking, but it is said that she is the cousin of the deputy director of the fourth field of the riveting factory, eh? Sister Yuan Lan, that Zhao
Has Begonia been assigned to your textile factory? I remember that she has been working as a record keeper in our riveting factory a few days ago."
Yuan Lan nodded.
Aunt Hong narrowed her eyes slightly, turned around and asked Uncle Zhao who was drinking tea: "Old Zhao, is the deputy director of the fourth riveting factory the same Zhao Jianshe?"
Uncle Zhao put down the tea cup and thought for a moment, then hummed and asked, "What's wrong? That kid got a thorn again?"
Aunt Hong shook her head and did not respond to Uncle Zhao. Uncle Zhao understood tacitly and did not ask any more questions. He continued to pick up the jar and sip the tea.
...
Ma Xiaoquan asked curiously: "Aunt Hong, is there something wrong with Zhao Jianshe?"
Aunt Hong sighed and said, "My family is full of high-ranking officials. Before I joined the riveting factory as the deputy director, I was one of the top tyrants here. Later, I was punished by Old Zhao several times and became much better behaved. However, that boy was weak."
Bad, you can’t tell from his appearance at all.”
"Ah? Isn't Yuan Lan in danger? What if Zhao Jianshe is a pervert?" Zhao Minglan covered her mouth and said in horror.
Aunt Hong smiled and said: "Why is it dangerous? Zhao Jianshe's wife's family is more powerful than his family. If he dares to do anything outside, her wife's family will be turned upside down? That Zhao Haitang, on the other hand, is indeed a troublesome problem."
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Aunt Hong, do you know that Zhao Haitang?"
Aunt Hong thought for a while and said: "I often buy groceries and chat with the neighbors, and I know a few things. Anyway, she is not a good girl. It is said that I used to hang out with a few street kids and had two abortions..."
"Fuck~~" Ma Xiaoquan cursed, and the three girls all looked at him, making him very embarrassed.
Zhao Minglan pinched Ma Xiaoquan as a small punishment.
"A person like this is still pestering Wei Dajun? What do you have to be afraid of?" Zhao Minglan encouraged Yuan Lan.
Yuan Lan smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Many things are not human problems."
After all, Zhao Minglan didn't have a job, so she didn't understand what Yuan Lan meant.
Yuan Lan did not continue to explain that the human world and relationship issues after work are the decisive factors that really affect your life. This truth can only be understood by yourself.
Just then, the door rang.
Uncle Zhao opened the door and found Ma Liehuo, but this guy looked embarrassed and had a large pool of vinegar stains on his body.
"Lihuo, what's wrong with you?" Uncle Zhao pulled Ma Liehuo in, "Why do you smell like vinegar? Eh? Didn't you go pour the vinegar? Where's the vinegar?"
Ma Liehuo licked his lips, rubbed his hands and stammered: "That... that... that vinegar, when I came back, I fell and the vinegar bottle broke. That...
...The vinegar is gone~”
"What? No more jealous?" Zhao Minglan walked over carelessly, stretched out his hand and slapped Ma Liehuo on the forehead, "Why are you so stupid? Will any girl like you after you act like this?"
As soon as Zhao Minglan said these words, Ma Liehuo became even more embarrassed. He lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake and was waiting for punishment from his parents.
Yuan Lan was still gentle. She walked over gently, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, handed it to Ma Liehuo, and asked him to wipe away a few drops of vinegar on his forehead.
Ma Liehuo glanced at Yuan Lan gratefully, but quickly lowered his head. However, he held the handkerchief Yuan Lan handed him tightly in his hand and did not wipe the vinegar on his head.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and asked, "Forget it, I'll go buy it. Just stay here. Sister Lanlan, please give Liehuo some of my clothes to change."
Zhao Minglan pouted: "Why should I go and get it?"
Aunt Hong smiled and shook her head: "Okay, I'll get it~"
Ma Liehuo raised his head and nodded gratefully: "Aunt Hong, thank you!"
"Thank you, your family must have been a big help for my old Zhao to come out so smoothly. We should thank your family for this."
Ma Liehuo did not respond to Aunt Hong's words, because he was just following the old man's instructions to take Uncle Zhao home today. As for why Uncle Zhao came out, he didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask.
...
Ten minutes later, Ma Xiaoquan poured another bottle of vinegar, and forty minutes later, he had cooked a whole table of dishes.
"Wow~~" Zhao Minglan rubbed her hands and said, "Xiaohu, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking. I've never seen these two dishes before." As she said that, she picked up her chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.
"Put it down!" Aunt Hong's face darkened. Zhao Minglan was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue and quickly put down her chopsticks.
Aunt Hong smiled and said to Ma Liehuo: "Lihuo, this is the condition of the family, so don't be polite. You are a guest. Come on, use your chopsticks first, and let's eat~"
Ma Liehuo hummed, and out of the corner of his eye he couldn't help but glance at Yuan Lan, who was sitting opposite.
Yuan Lan looked at the food on the table quietly, while Ma Liehuo became more and more fascinated as he looked at it.
"Ahem~~" Ma Xiaoquan secretly kicked Ma Liehuo under the table. The latter reacted and quickly picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth.
"Huh? It's so delicious~" Ma Liehuo looked at Ma Xiaoquan and praised, "Xiaohu, your cooking skills are very good. The dishes you make are beautiful and even more delicious."
"That's right!" Ma Xiaoquan raised his head proudly, "I'm not bragging to you, I can do a lot."
Ma Liehuo clicked his tongue and said, "Oh, whoever marries you in the future will be very lucky!"
