Chapter 9
Chapter 9
It was already four o'clock in the morning after Han Zhou drove home. After he entered the hospital, he felt that he smelled like the hospital all over his body. After such a long time, he was also hungry, so he simply did not sleep, cooked a bowl of noodles for himself, and watched the live football match in another hemisphere while eating the noodles with the TV on.
Li Yi Nian didn't wake up until noon, and the first thing he did after waking up was to send a message to Han Zhou.
In fact, he wanted to make a call, but he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Han Zhou to answer at work, so he made several crying faces in a row, saying that he was woken up from hunger.Because he was sick, Zheng Yun gave him a day off with a big wave of his hand. Because he hadn’t eaten at home for a long time, he had almost no food in the house, so he searched the entire refrigerator. It was either beer or various seasonings and bibimbap sauce. Find two eggs in the corner.
He was about to cook the eggs, when he received a cold and fever from Han Zhou that he could not eat eggs.
So he took this opportunity to quickly say that he was still not feeling well and wanted to meet Han Zhou and have a meal together.
How could Han Zhou not know that he was making use of the problem?But there was some real progress between them last night, and Han Zhou didn't want to reject him at this time.He asked Li Yinian to obediently order a takeaway lunch, and then promised him that after work, he would buy good food and go to his house to cook together.
Li Yinian counted the time and passed the whole afternoon. He couldn't even turn on the TV or play games.
He felt that this kind of waiting was particularly fulfilling, and he enjoyed this feeling very much.But time passed too slowly, he finally thought about it, mopped the inside and outside of the house again for the first time, and wiped the dining table and coffee table twice.He usually doesn't bother to do these things. He is already tired from work, so why would he want to clean up the house when he gets home?The hourly worker would come to clean up once a week. The house was always tidy, and he didn't need to do it himself. The only thing he did was tidy up the closet. After all, this was outside the scope of the hourly worker's work.
This was Han Zhou's first visit to his home, and he had to leave a good impression on him.Living alone, Han Zhou must keep his home in order. He was like this eight years ago, taking care of his younger brother after work, but when Li Yinian went to his house, he never felt that any part of the house was messy.
At six o'clock, Han Zhou called suddenly, saying that he couldn't come because of something, and asked Li Yinian to have dinner by himself.
This was like a bolt from the blue to Li Yi Nian. After looking forward to the stars and the moon all afternoon, Han Zhou finally said that he had something to do and would not come.
But Han Zhou's reason for not coming was very legitimate and very sudden, which even Han Zhou himself did not expect.
His mother is here.
Not long ago, Han's mother fell when she went downstairs. She didn't think it was serious at the time, but after a few days, her foot suddenly swelled very badly.She has kept this matter from Han Zhou all along. The mother and son have rarely seen each other in the past few years. She has always reported good news but not bad news. This time she originally planned to have a treatment in the small local hospital in her hometown, but the sister-in-law talked about it too much. Son told his daughter.Her daughter, Han Zhou's cousin, was born in the same hospital as Han Qing, only a few days apart.The two sisters-in-law got pregnant together and gave birth together, and their relationship is very good. Han Zhou's cousin, Han Ying, also stayed here after graduation. Sometimes the siblings would meet up for a meal during the holidays.
Han Ying works in the hospital. After learning that Han Mu's foot was injured, her mother drove Han Mu over in the family car, saying that she was asked to go to the hospital where Han Ying worked for a good check-up. more at ease.It happened that she hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, and she was thinking hard. She also knew that although Han's mother said that she didn't miss Han Zhou, she was actually worried all the time in her heart, so she persuaded Han's mother to come here.
Now that I'm here, I didn't hide this matter from Han Zhou. After Han's mother took a photo in the hospital to confirm that there was nothing serious about her muscles and bones, Han Ying's mother and daughter packed her up and sent her to Han Zhou's place. Just called Han Zhou.
The mother and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Han Zhou didn't know what to talk to his mother for a while. When Han Ying mother and daughter were there, someone could help resolve the embarrassment. After they left, the mother and son were speechless. a long time.
This happened so suddenly that Han Zhou didn't have time to prepare anything. Seeing that Han's mother was uncomfortable, he let her rest at home, went out to the supermarket by himself, bought some vegetables and meat, and put Han I bought a copy of the toiletries and the like that my mother needs to live at home.It was only after he went out that he was able to call Li Yinian to say that he couldn't go to eat. He heard that Li Yinian was very disappointed, but at this moment he had no other choice but to put the other end first.
Mother Han said she didn't care, but after Han Zhou went out, she limped and looked around.
Their mother and son had become estranged a lot in recent years, and she didn't even know anything about Han Zhou's relationship status.When she looked at all the rooms next to each other, and saw that there were only Han Zhou's clothes in the closet, only one pillow on the bed, and only one set of toiletries in the bathroom, and there was no smell of another person in this room, she did Certainly, her son had probably lived like this for a long time.
She was originally an open-minded mother. When Han Zhou came out of the closet, she also found it unacceptable at first, but she felt more distressed than disappointed.How much courage should the child have to dare to tell his parents these things, after all, it is his own flesh and blood, no matter how sad she is, she can only choose to accept it, and all she can give him is the greatest degree of understanding.Later, Han Zhou would tell her that he had a partner and was in a serious relationship, and he didn't even hide the reason for breaking up with her.When she was a child, she was just like ordinary people, finding someone she liked to live with, but for someone like Han Zhou, it was obviously much more difficult to find a suitable one than others.
When Han Zhou came back from shopping, she watched him skillfully busy in the kitchen, making three dishes and one soup in a few strokes, and she felt even more distressed.
The mother and son didn't say a few words until they went to bed. Han Zhou just asked Han's mother to have dinner together when the meal was ready. After the meal, he told her the functions of the various switches in the bathroom. Other conversations took place.
Han Zhou lived in a small house with two bedrooms and one living room. In addition to the master bedroom, Han Zhou converted another guest bedroom into a study when he was renovating. After Han's mother came, he gave up the bedroom. He took a set of bedding and laid it on the sofa. There was not even an extra pillow at home, so Han Zhou had to take a thick piece of clothing and fold it up as a pillow for the time being.
His sofa was very narrow, and he was very uncomfortable sleeping on it tossing and turning. In the middle of the night, the quilt fell to the ground, and he stretched out his hand to pull it in a daze. Cover him.He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Mother Han squatting beside the sofa. Her legs and feet were inconvenient, she squatted unsteadily, and her posture was funny.
At that moment, Han Zhou almost shed tears.
"mom?"
Mother Han didn't expect to be bumped into by him, so she quickly stood up staggeringly: "It's okay, Mom is just afraid that you will be uncomfortable here and won't be able to sleep, so come and have a look."
Han Zhou got up and turned on the light, then went to the kitchen and poured her a glass of water.
In the dead of night, the mother and son began to talk properly.
Mother Han asked him, "Are you living alone now?"
"Ah."
He had indeed not been in a relationship for a long time, and he knew that his mother had always had a very keen sense of these things. His house looked like a single apartment at first glance, and he couldn't hide it from her at all.
Mother Han glanced at him and took his hand hanging on his lap.
"Mom didn't want to ask you these things. For so long, you have always made my mother feel at ease. But today when my mother came, she felt that your room was empty. You are not young now. I know that you need to find someone in this situation. It’s not easy to have a stable partner, but there will be many problems when a person lives alone for a long time. You see, you can’t finish the dishes you cook for a while when you come back from work. If you suddenly get sick, there is no one to take care of you .”
Han Zhou seldom heard her say these things, knowing that she must have thought about these words for a long time now, these are the things she has always wanted to say.
Mother and child are connected, even if he didn't understand it before, now he can understand his mother's mood to some extent.
"I know, don't worry, I actually have someone I'm getting along with, but I haven't decided yet."
"Really?" Han's mother regained her spirits immediately, and she couldn't hide the curiosity on her face: "What kind of person is he? Is it reliable? I mean, is he a person who can live a good life?"
In fact, Han Zhou himself is not sure.
He thought, if he already planned to have a try with Li Yinian, then there would be nothing wrong with telling his mother about it first, but even he didn't know if Li Yinian was really suitable for him, and how far they could go. By when, these are all unpredictable.
"Mom, I just met him not long ago, so don't worry."
"Then you can always tell mom, how old is he and where is he from?"
"It's a local. His parents are abroad. They are younger than me. They should be 24 years old this year."
"So young..."
Han Zhou could hear the disappointment in his mother's tone.
Li Yi Nian is nine years younger than him, and the word "young" probably means uncertainty in Han Mu's eyes, and maybe even Han Mu thinks this is not a suitable person to live with.
"Mom, don't worry, I will take care of it."
"Then tell mom, do you like him very much?"
Do you like him very much?
It was only then that Han Zhou realized that he didn't seem to have thought about this issue seriously. Does he like Li Yi Nian very much?His affection for Li Yinian has lasted for a long time. Since he first met him eight years ago, during the eight years of separation, he has never been able to forget the affection Li Yinian gave him back then, so He will only feel excited when facing Li Yi Nian's frank and straightforward love.
"He actually likes me?"
This is probably the biggest feeling Li Yi Nian gave him now.
This matter itself had already taken him by surprise, and he hadn't had time to sort out his feelings for Li Yinian.
"I always feel that he is far away. If I put everything I like together, that is what he looks like now. I don't seem to have a reason not to like him, but I don't know how to describe this feeling." Han Zhou was helpless Shaking his head, "Mom, you know, I actually liked him many years ago, but I never thought that I would be with him. Now, I think he loves me more, and I'm always a little powerless."
"You don't have confidence, do you?"
Mother Han told the truth.
"Yes, I have no confidence."
"But in my opinion, my son is very good. Only others are not worthy of him, and there is no one he is not worthy of."
Han Zhou couldn't help laughing at Han Mu's words.
He thought that if his mother saw Li Yi Nian, she might also feel that this person was not suitable to be with him.My mother is a more practical person than him, a person with impeccable appearance, this person is not only young, but also famous, and the people chasing him can't fit in a street, with such a person, I don't have enough confidence I'm afraid it won't last.
Both mother and son had a good night's sleep after chatting.
Mother Han is getting old, she doesn't doze off much, and gets up very early.While Han Zhou was still sleeping, she washed the few dirty clothes he had just changed, and went to the kitchen to make a long-lost breakfast for her son.
Han Zhou woke up when he smelled the fragrance. He was stunned for a while before remembering that his mother lived here yesterday.
It has been many years since I last asked about the taste.
"Are you up? That's right, I'll make another steamed bun. You go wash up first."
When Han Zhou came out after washing, Mother Han told him that his cell phone had rang several times just now, and he quickly picked it up to check, and found that the three missed calls were all from Li Yinian.
Seeing his expression, Han's mother understood, and asked, "Do you need Mom to avoid it for a while?"
Han Zhou smiled helplessly: "Mom..."
The author has something to say: Mom said: You can't hide your mother when you are in love.
