Chapter 279: Home.
“Son, you’ve lost weight. You haven’t eaten yet right? Go in and have a hot meal. I’ll keep it for you.” Hua Heying kept looking up and down at her son Xiao Luo, her eyes full of love.
Xiao Luo looked at his mother. Compared to last year, the woman who gave birth to him had gotten much older and had more freckles on her face. He still remembered his impression of his mother when he was a child. She was a woman as beautiful as a flower. Whether before or now, he felt that his mother was the most beautiful woman in the world.
“Why are your clothes wet?”
Hua Heying touched Xiao Lou’s clothes and stared at Xiao ZhiYuan with questioning eyes.
Xiao Zhiyuan angrily said, “Xiao Qiu, that son of a b*tch, left him alone on the road and left first. He couldn’t get to the village or the store, and there was no place to take shelter. Xiao Luo could only wait in the rain.”
What?
Hearing this, Hua Heying became furious, “It was too much for that short wax gourd to leave my son in the rain. When I see him later, I have to tell him off.”
“Mom, this is the end of the story. His son keeps crying and it’s not easy to drive on this part of our farm. If he does send me here and bumps his car, I’ll be very sorry.” Xiao Luo didn’t want his family to worry about it. There was no need.
“You are too kind-hearted. You still speak for that dwarf wax gourd. Forget it. Don’t talk about him. Take a hot bath and change into dry clothes before eating.” Hua Heying was worried about Xiao Luo’s body, so she quickly grabbed clean towels and buckets, heated the water, and asked Xiao Luo to take a bath.
“Okay.”
Xiao Luo’s heart felt warm, his family was always the best.
One advantage of the countryside was that the water source, a pure natural mountain stream, could also be used for drinking water. When the water pipe connected with the stream, there would be a continuous flow of natural water to the house.
After he came out from the shower, Hua Heying had already taken the food out of the heater pan and placed it on the dining table in the hall.
There was no shortage of chicken, duck, fish and all kinds of vegetables. They were specially prepared for Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo ate three bowls of rice in one breath. The food made by his mother was very fragrant and sweet.
“Don’t eat meat all the time. Eat more vegetables. Eating more vegetables is good for your health.” Xiao ZhiYuan sat with a straight face.
“My son eats whatever he likes. Why do you talk so much?”
Hua Heying defended her son, reprimanded Xiao Zhiyuan, and then beamed at Xiao Luo. “Don’t listen to him, son. Eat more meat. We have raised all these by ourselves. The meat quality is much better than the outside.”
Xiao Luo nodded, gulping up food one after another.
Xiao Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and didn’t continue this topic. Instead of being further scolded by Hua Heying, he changed the subject, “Xiao Luo, are you really the boss of a company in Jiang City now?”
“Yes, the company specializes in the development, production and sales of bread, cakes, mid-autumn moon cakes, Chinese cakes and other foods.” Xiao Luo looked up and answered.
“My son can do it. Look, Zhiyuan, I will say that my son must have great promise.” Hua Heying smiled from ear to ear.
Although Xiao Zhiyuan was delighted in his heart and proud of Xiao Luo, he would not show it. He still said to Xiao Luo with a straight face and earnest heart, “Don’t be proud, it’s easier to conquer the world than to conquer yourself. You can become the boss of a company so quickly. You should meet noble people, and you can’t forget their good future.”
“Hmm”
Xiao Luo smiled, then buried his head to continue eating food.
“By the way, where is Ruyi now?” Xiao ZhiYuan suddenly asked.
Hua Heying pricked up her ears. In the beginning, Xiao Ruyi was too rebellious and would quarrel loudly with her mother. Their mother-child relationship was not very harmonious. Now that she was married, the relationship was much better. After all, she was her own child. No matter what she did wrong before, she could not stop caring.
“She has a good relationship with Tang Ren. She works hard in the hospital, has grown more mature and more sensible, and will not behave like before.” Xiao Luo said.
Xiao Zhiyuan was relieved: “That’s good!”
Hua Heying also laughed: “As long as she is well, as parents, we can be at ease.”
“Mom, don’t worry any more. Everyone needs to grow and change. Ruyi has grown up now. I met her once before I came back. She bought clothes and shoes for you, dad, grandpa and grandma and told me to bring them back.” Xiao Luo pointed to a pile of things in the hall.
Hua Heying was moved and wiped her tears. Then she walked over and looked at it roughly, “It costs a lot of money to buy so many things. I have to tell her about this. She is not allowed to spend money like this in the future. She has a family and should save some money. How can she be so extravagant?”
At this point, she took out her mobile phone to get through Xiao Ruyi’s phone and started the chat between a mother and daughter.
……
……
Satisfied with the foods and drinks, Xiao Luo rode Xiao Zhiyuan’s three-wheeled motorcycle back home.
Although Luo Village was located in a remote mountainous area, people from Luo Village went south to seek gold 20 years ago. Over the years, they had earned some money and built new houses. Every family had a new house. If no new house had been built, they would only be laughed at by others and would not be able to lift their heads.
Xiao Luo admired his father and mother very much. Ten years ago, they built a two-story house using their few thousand dollars a month to slowly mold it into their home. The first floor was very common, but the second floor was decorated with fine decoration. His elderly grandparents lived in the house.
It was almost eleven o’clock in the evening now. The village was quiet with occasional barks from a distance. Without the noise of the city, the night here was quiet and made people not accustomed to it.
Grandma and Grandpa knew that he would come back today. They did not go to bed even though it was already more than 9 o’clock. They had been watching TV on the first floor, waiting for Xiao Luo to arrive home.
Hearing some sounds, the two elders immediately turned on the lights in the hall on the first floor and opened the door.
“Grandpa, Grandma!”
“Xiao Luo, you are back!”
The speaker’s hair was naturally curled and her eyes were smiling kindly. She held Xiao Luo’s hand tightly with her rough hands. “It’s raining outside. Hurry and come in.”
At the first sight of them, Xiao Luo’s biggest feeling was that they were getting older. The years left more and more marks on their faces and their hair had become completely grey.
Grandma poured two cups of hot tea, one for Xiao Luo and one for Xiao Zhiyuan. Then she asked Xiao Luo; how he lost so much weight, did he not eat outside? She asked if he was tired from his work.
Grandpa was relatively quiet, his temperament was like this, not talkative. Xiao ZhiYuan probably inherited this, and Xiao Luo, from Xiao ZhiYuan, also inherited this trait.
