In the blink of an eye, nearly a week has passed. Ever since Dong Xuebin punished Lu Dafa, this old guy has become completely honest. He took three days off before going to work looking haggard, but he spent most of the time in his own office, admitting that he was being ignored.
As for the work of the China Merchants Bureau, after a few days of exploration, Dong Xuebin gradually became familiar with it. He was only responsible for controlling the overall situation and delegating tasks one by one to the office, business department and other departments.
The series of work was carried out smoothly.
Today, Saturday.
Inside the bed, Dong Xuebin looked at his watch, then closed his eyes sleepily and continued to sleep.
Due to business relationships, China Merchants Group is sometimes busier on weekends than on weekdays, but Dong Xuebin is the leader and he is going to give himself a day off today.
Suddenly, the key rang to open the door.
Not long after, Dong Xuebin, who was sleeping, felt his butt being pushed.
"Xiao Bin, Xiao Bin." It was the voice of my mother Luan Xiaoping, "It's already nine o'clock, wake up."
Dong Xuebin opened his eyes, yawned and said, "I'm going to rest today and get some sleep. I'm exhausted these days."
Luan Xiaoping looked at her son helplessly, reached out and plucked out the eye droppings from the corners of his eyes with her nails, dotingly pulled the quilt, and covered her son's feet, "You, you are risking your life when you work. Mom said you don't do it either."
Listen, oh, go to sleep. Mom will clean up your room first and prepare breakfast for you." During the Spring Festival, Dong Xuebin gave her the spare key to the county party committee's family home. Luan Xiaoping came today to clean up the house and wash clothes for her son.
, she knew that her son was lazy and there was no woman at home. If she didn't come for half a month, the house would be really dirty.
Dong Xuebin closed his eyes and said, "Thank you, Mom."
"Thank you." Luan Xiaoping touched her son's hand and said, "Go to sleep."
After leaving the bedroom and gently closing the door for him, Luan Xiaoping began to work, washing clothes, mopping the floor, and sweeping the floor.
About an hour later, Dong Xuebin woke up naturally, stretched himself out of bed, got dressed, got out of bed, put on his slippers and left the house.
In the living room, Luan Xiaoping was hanging clothes to dry on the window.
Dong Xuebin said embarrassedly: "Mom, thank you for your hard work. Take a rest and I will do the rest."
"Are you up?" Luan Xiaoping turned around and said with a warm smile: "No need for you, Mom is not old enough yet. Go brush your teeth and wash up quickly. Breakfast is ready."
Dong Xuebin blinked and said, "Mom, I just realized why you are becoming more and more beautiful recently?"
Luan Xiaoping glanced at him and spat: "What nonsense are you talking about? Mom is almost fifty years old, how can she be beautiful? She is beautiful." After saying that, she smiled.
Dong Xuebin stared at his mother's face and looked up and down, "Hey, seriously, are you putting on makeup?"
Luan Xiaoping's old face became hot and she said hurriedly: "Don't be poor, brush your teeth quickly."
"Really?" Dong Xuebin was quite surprised. He rarely saw his mother dressed up. In the past, it was because his family was poor and had no money, so his mother basically never used any cosmetics. At most, he could touch Dabao, Yu Meijing.
Ah, something like that. Later, when Dong Xuebin got rich, my mother didn't seem to have deliberately bought any clothes or cosmetics. She might not have felt the need to dress up, or she might have been used to it, but today...
Luan Xiaoping turned her face and hurriedly hung up her clothes, "If mom gets angry again, go and go."
"What day is it today?" Dong Xuebin held on and said with a smile, "Is it your birthday? No, it's still the New Year. Oh, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, but that doesn't matter."
In the end, Dong Xuebin was thrown into the toilet by his mother holding a clothes rack. He had to put his toothbrush into his mouth and brush his teeth.
In the past few months, Dong Xuebin has really not paid enough attention to his mother. Firstly, he is busy with work, busy with promotion, and going to South Korea for surgery. Secondly, he is also used to his mother's care. Every time
He didn't even have to go to his mother's school dormitory to see her. Luan Xiaoping would come over to take care of her. But now that he thought about it, Dong Xuebin let out a sigh. It turned out that his mother would come every weekend and stay from morning to night.
In the past two months, my mother's visits have become less and less frequent. I can't, I shouldn't, Dong Xuebin is confused.
At breakfast, Luan Xiaoping gave her son a salted duck egg and said, "Just drink it with porridge, let's eat."
"Mom, is there something you didn't tell me?" Dong Xuebin couldn't let go, "Why do I feel like something's wrong with you recently?"
Luan Xiaoping's face turned red, "...No."
Dong Xuebin put down his chopsticks, "It's impossible, there must be. Come on, tell me."
"...It really doesn't happen. You're just thinking about it."
"Speak quickly, otherwise I won't be able to eat."
Luan Xiaoping's face was a little embarrassed. She took a sip of porridge and suddenly whispered: "Well, mom wants to ask you something. Look... your dad has been gone for so many years. It's not like mom has forgotten your dad.
It's just...Actually, mom has never thought about it...but..." After talking for a long time without making it clear, Luan Xiaoping simply gritted her teeth and looked at her son, "Let's put it this way, if mom...if she finds you a stepfather, you
…Are you unhappy?”
Upon hearing this, Dong Xuebin was astonished as if something were wrong, "Are you having a date!?"
Luan Xiaoping quickly waved her hand, "No, no, that's what mom asked."
"Isn't this just a casual question? It's obvious that he's already in love." Dong Xuebin was in such a complicated mood, so he didn't mention it and said anxiously: "Who is that person? Your school teacher? How old is he? What's his name?
"After asking, Dong Xuebin was scratching his head, "You are really good. You didn't discuss such a big matter with me. How could you have found a partner? When did you two get along?"
Luan Xiaoping felt embarrassed when asked, "It's not easy, mom was just making an analogy."
"Hey, why are you so careless with me now?"
"...Then you...you answer mom's question first." Luan Xiaoping looked at her son, "Do you feel bad about it too? Then forget it, you mother didn't say anything."
Dong Xuebin said in his heart that you almost scared me, how can you pretend that you haven't said it before? Thinking about it, he sighed, "Mom, it's not that I don't agree. My dad has been gone for several years, so you can find a wife as well."
It's a normal thing. How can I, a son, have any objections? As long as you are happy, that's fine. The main thing is that I'm afraid that you will be deceived. There are so many people in this world now. You are too kind. If someone gets deceived,
…”
Luan Xiaoping glared at him and said, "Mom knows people better than you!"
Dong Xuebin said to himself, just brag, "No matter what happens, you have to let me see the old man first."
"What old man? Neither big nor small." Luan Xiaoping was unhappy.
Dong Xuebin felt sour in his heart, he just protected him wherever he went, alas, alas, alas.
After finishing breakfast, Luan Xiaoping took her son's hand and sat on the sofa. "Mom, I won't hide it from you. At the end of last year, my colleagues and I went shopping in the city. We saw a young man touching porcelain on the street. We were about to cheat him.
An old lady, I was afraid that the old lady would be deceived, so I went over to remind her, but the liar stopped and started yelling at me. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight me. At this time, a car stopped on the side of the road and he got out.
A middle-aged man who was less than 50 years old didn't even say anything. He looked at the liar with a straight face, and the liar was scared away."
Dong Xuebin hummed, "It's still a hero saving the beauty."
Luan Xiaoping said angrily: "Do you listen or not? If you don't listen, mom will stop talking."
"...cough cough cough, listen, listen."
"Later I quickly thanked him, and we have known each other since then." Luan Xiaoping said with a warm smile on her lips, "He left me his mobile phone number, and I also left him my home phone number, and then contacted him several times.
Well, sometimes when I go to Fenzhou City, I will go to the teahouse to drink tea with him. Old Yang is a nice person, very talkative, and his family is similar to mine. His wife passed away a few years ago."
"Work in the city? What's your name?"
"Yang Zhaode."
Dong Xuebin blinked, "Then what's the relationship between you two now?"
"It doesn't matter." Luan Xiaoping said hurriedly: "They are just ordinary friends who can talk well."
Dong Xuebin rolled his eyes, "Come on, when we young people fall in love, we pay attention to passion. Of course, your love at dusk is different. If you can keep in touch on the phone, see each other and chat often, doesn't that mean you have already found someone?
?" Mom will definitely be very reserved when it comes to dating at this age, and she is not very good at confirming a relationship. Generally, this situation is already confirmed.
Luan Xiaoping could hear the sour taste in her son's tone, and couldn't help but touch Dong Xuebin's hand after hearing this, "You...if you don't think it's okay, mom won't contact him."
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said: "When did I say no?"
"That……"
"You make up your mind about your affairs, but I have to check it." Dong Xuebin did not object to his mother talking about a partner. He was mainly worried about the other person's character and personality. He had to see him with his own eyes to see it. Luan Xiaoping
But Dong Xuebin's life, Dong Xuebin doesn't want his mother to be fooled. Although my mother is already in her forties and almost fifty, she still looks pretty with makeup, and she is relatively beautiful among her peers.
of.
Luan Xiaoping looked at him and said, "Lao Yang may be busy with work these days. When there is an opportunity in a few days, the three of us can have a meal together. Do you think it will be okay?"
Dong Xuebin said: "Okay."
Luan Xiaoping breathed out, "Xiaobin, thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
"Mom thought you would never agree, so...that's why I never dared to tell you."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "You are my mother. If you are happy, I will be happy. If you are happy, I will be happy too. What can't I agree with? Aren't they just multiple stepfathers? As long as Comrade Lao Yang has good character in all aspects
, I applaud with both hands. You are alone at such an old age, so you should find a companion. I am busy with work, so it would be good to have someone to talk to you every day."
Luan Xiaoping said amusedly: "Comrade Yang, what are you talking about?"
