Chapter 93
Chapter 93
Chu Yunjing was on a business trip for a few days, and the company had half a day off for the Lantern Festival.
After getting off work at noon, Qi Ning had lunch outside with her colleagues and then went home to catch up on sleep. She slept until four o'clock in the afternoon when she was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
She thought it was a call from Chu Yunjing, picked up the phone and looked at it, and saw the caller "Mom" on it, and then remembered that her mother said yesterday that she would send Qi Cheng to school today, so she drove the car to her by the way.
After returning to Chonghai City from Qi Ning, apart from scolding her on the day of sneaking away, Qi's mother was busy visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year and had no time to teach her, so she completely let herself go.
"Mom." Qi Ning turned over and lay flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling with half-open eyes.
"Where are you?"
"At home. Our company has a half-day holiday. Have you been to Chonghai yet?"
"It's more than that." Mother Qi said, "I'm at your door."
"???" Qi Ning shuddered and sat up on the bed, instantly sober, "What???"
"Is it A2101? I'm at the door."
It's really at the door.Qi Ning hung up the phone and hurriedly got off the bed, stroking his messy hair.Subconsciously, he stuffed the pink box on the table that had been randomly placed after opening it into the drawer, and carefully checked that there was no problem before opening the door.
"Oh, my dear mother~" As soon as the door was opened, Qi Ning had a flattering face.
Qi Cheng, who was standing aside, couldn't help showing a contemptuous expression.
The Qi family's parents also brought a lot of special products, large and small bags, probably to make up for the regret of not being able to fill the trunk this year.
"Come here, why bring so many things, so polite!" Qi Ning welcomed her parents in like a hostess, and Qi's mother rolled her eyes when she heard it: "It's not just for you, there are some It's for Yun Jing, so I have to thank her for being willing to "take in" you."
Qi Ning: "..." Hehe.
Mother Qi glanced at the room, "Where is Yun Jing? Isn't Lantern Festival a holiday?"
"She's gone on a business trip." Qi Ning waved his hand.
Father Qi walked around the living room and the balcony, as if checking with the head teacher with his hands behind his back, and then nodded with satisfaction: "This house is well lit. It's very clean."
"That's right." I knew my parents were coming, so I hired my aunt to clean it temporarily yesterday, can it be unclean?
"Mom, why didn't you notify me in advance when you came over suddenly, so I wasn't prepared at all." Qi Ning took a few bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator. Chu Yunjing was not at home for the past few days and she was ordering takeaway, where is the refrigerator? There are dishes, and even the drinks are finished by her.
"Let's take you out for dinner tonight." She didn't bother to do it either.
"How can your mother's craftsmanship be as good as cooking outside?" Qi's mother boasted that she was never ambiguous, and turned to look at her husband and son: "You two went out to buy some food and came back. I'll make whatever you want to eat."
"Okay!" Qi Cheng responded immediately, "I know where the market is!"
The father and son happily went out to buy groceries, and there were only mother and daughter left in the living room.
Qi Ning thought the atmosphere was too quiet, so he turned on the TV and wanted to show some variety shows. While he was choosing a show, he heard his mother's voice.
"A'Ning, do you know what's going on with Yun Jing and her family?"
"..." Qi Ning's hand that was pressing the remote control stopped suddenly, and turned to look at his mother after two seconds.
"What?" She decided to play dumb first.
"I've heard about Yun Jing, and I'm so angry with Old Chu." Qi's mother paused, "I'm quite surprised. Yun Jing actually likes girls." She then asked, "Do you know about this?" ?”
"What do you think?" Qi Ning couldn't understand her mother's attitude, so she answered very conservatively.
"You grew up together, and now you live together again. You are young people who can communicate better than your parents." Qi's mother couldn't help frowning, "I went to see your Auntie Chu yesterday, and you look haggard."
"Mom." Qi Ning put away his expression and asked seriously: "Do you think Yun Jing did something wrong?"
"Under Aunt Chu's forced marriage, coming out to her parents and frankly facing her sexual orientation is also responsible for her blind date. Do you think she did something wrong?"
"There's nothing worse than a cheating marriage." Mother Qi shook her head, "But it's not right for her to disappoint her parents by doing so."
"Then what do you think is right? Even if you know you are gay, you have to pretend to be heterosexual to marry a man, have a child after marriage, and bring up the child. This step-by-step life is over. Live for others. Follow the wishes of your parents, even if you wrong yourself, even if it will be very painful, it doesn't matter, as long as your parents are happy. Is that so?"
"Mom, your thinking is very contradictory."
Qi Ning seldom sat down to discuss a topic with her calmly and seriously. Even though the topic had nothing to do with their mother and daughter, Qi's mother was surprised by her daughter's serious attitude.
Mother Qi: "Maybe..."
"Everyone comes into this world as an independent individual. It is ridiculous to impose your own ideas on others, and then find that this person can't control himself, and starts to moan without illness."
"I believe that the vast majority of parents love their children. Because they don't want their children to suffer, it is the safest way to go the way they think is right. But they never think about it. Are their own ideas necessarily correct?"
"The poet Gibran has a poem: "You can give them your love, but not your thoughts, because they have their own thoughts. You can shelter their bodies, but not their souls."If the soul is withered, what's the point of living? "Speaking of this, Qi Ning sighed heavily.
Mother Qi has maintained an attitude of being irrelevant to the Chu family so far, but now hearing her daughter say this, she feels that it is quite reasonable.
It can be seen from her daughter's expression that she can't help thinking, could it be that her daughter has also been assimilated?But after thinking about it, this is impossible. My daughter had a boyfriend before, definitely not.
Qi Ning felt the probing gaze from her mother, and quickly returned to her usual expression. She touched her face, "Why are you looking at me? Is there a flower on my face?"
"No." Mother Qi withdrew her gaze, "Hey. That's their family's business, we outsiders can't care about it."
Qi Ning didn't continue this topic, she still wasn't sure about her mother's exact attitude towards the same sex, they talked so much, but they were talking about her family affairs.If it was on him, he might not be able to be so calm.
The mother and daughter were chatting one after another, and when the father and son bought the food, it was almost time for dinner, and Mother Qi got up to cook.
The three of them sat in the living room watching TV.
Qi Ning glanced at Qi Cheng, and dropped a topic: "When do you guys start school?"
"The day after tomorrow, anyway, sister Jing is not here, let's stay overnight and go to school tomorrow." Qi Cheng said, and Qi's father nodded in a serious manner: "You sneaked out during the Chinese New Year and stayed outside alone. Our family didn't celebrate the New Year together. , today is the Lantern Festival, let's have a reunion festival together."
Qi Ning thought that she was the only one at home anyway, so it's okay to stay with the family overnight, and it's not that there is no room to sleep, so she agreed.
While chatting in the living room, Qi's mother in the kitchen yelled for her to come over.
"What's wrong?" Qi Ning stood at the door of the kitchen, stretched his neck and peeked inside.
Mother Qi raised her chin, "Come here and help me choose vegetables."
"Oh, okay." Thinking that there was nothing to do, Qi Ning went over to help.
The two of them each occupied one side of the counter, and Qi Ning was fighting with the leaves, when she heard her mother say: "Your father bought glutinous rice balls, save them for supper at night."
"Oh good." Qi Ning nodded, "Anyway, Yun Jing is not here, there is a room." Speaking of this, Qi Ning suddenly remembered that after Qi Cheng left, the second bedroom was empty for a long time and did not care about it. .Now that the quilt is not put on, as long as you open the door and take a look, you will know that the room is absolutely unoccupied.
And her mother already knew about Yun Jing and her parents coming out of the closet. If they found out that they lived in the same room again, women are always sensitive, so maybe they would notice the signs.
The more Qi Ning thought about his scalp getting numb, he subconsciously quickened his hand movements, thinking that after washing the dishes, he would go to arrange the room so that it wouldn't be too obvious.
But her mother was still talking beside her.
"This woman, if you want to tie a man's heart, you have to tie his stomach first. Knowing how to cook is very important. You cook at home when you have nothing to do during the holidays. Look at you, the trash can is full of takeaway boxes. Eat some junk food."
Qi Ning forced a smile and said: "It's too troublesome to cook alone, and you have to clean up the hygiene. It's convenient to order takeaway." She paused, and then argued: "I don't eat takeaway often, just like this Yunjing was on a business trip for a few days, so she only ordered when no one was cooking."
Mother Qi stopped chopping vegetables, turned her head and looked at her daughter, "It's fair for two people to rent together, don't let others do everything, you are so lazy, what should you do in the future."
Qi Ning couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Will I still starve to death in the future? Order takeaway if I don't have food, it's not that I don't have a job."
"After that, when you get married, will you two still go to restaurants every day? The couple live together, daily necessities are life."
"I don't agree with that." Qi Ning quickly retorted: "What two people need to live together is passion and romance. If you spend all your time worrying about these trivial matters in life, that's meaningless."
"You are young, so you think that way." Qi's mother smiled and shook her head, "You will know when you get married. At first, there will be passion and romance, but the two of you have been together for a long time, and you have children. There will be a lot of things to worry about. These things will make you lose energy for romance."
"Mom, do you think my dad is not romantic enough?" Qi Ning half-jokingly said.
"I didn't say that."
The thief Qi Ning said with a smile: "What did my dad get for Valentine's Day?"
"It's nothing." Qi's mother pretended not to care and said, "Just transfer me 9999." When she said this, she glanced at her daughter quietly, hoping to see an envious expression on her face.
Who knows that Qi Ning disliked it and said: "It's only 9999, it's too picky."
"???" Qi's mother looked at her daughter, "You don't even have a date, someone who doesn't have 999, how dare you say your dad is picky."
Qi Ning grinned at her.
That smile was full of pride and complacency.
Mother Qi: "???"
Baby, something is wrong with you.
