Chapter 17 Flowers faded, red and green apricots (Part 2)(1/2)

Two meat and two vegetables, plus a bowl of couscous.

The mother and daughter each have a small bowl of rice.

Wang Jinglu's mother is Tao Huijun. She is 46 years old this year, but she looks less than forty years old. Although she is not as beautiful as her two daughters, she still looks a bit stunning when she reaches middle age. She has a gentle and peaceful personality, doesn't talk much, and has a good cooking skills.

In contrast, Wang Jingxue has a strong temperament, and Wang Jinglu is more like her.

Even the mother and daughter's meal movements were almost cultivated by a set of procedures, chewing them slowly... Almost most of a bowl of couscous was penetrated into Wang Jinglu's stomach, but her lips were always clean and not greasy.

During the meal, neither mother nor daughter spoke.

After finishing the meal, Tao Huijun served a bowl of soup for each of them, but she just picked up the bowl and took a small sip, and then just looked at her daughter with a smile to drink the soup.

"The final exam is going to be three or four weeks left, right? Is it time to review?" she asked.

"Yes." Wang Jinglu nodded.

Tao Huijun smiled and stopped talking. She took a spoon and drank two spoons of soup.

"I'm so full!" Wang Jinglu reached out to pat her belly like a child, and complained sweetly, "Mom, don't give me couscous in the future. I can't control myself every time. I will eat so much and I will gain weight in the future!"

Tao Huijun smiled and said, "You won't be fat. You and your sister are like mothers. Look, mothers are not fat."

Wang Jinglu shook her head and expressed her disbelief, "Last time my sister came back, she said that I was about to become a pig."

Tao Huijun smiled, paused, and said, "Xiao Lu, your dad came back this morning."

Wang Jinglu suddenly became nervous when she heard this, "Is she... going to make trouble again?"

Tao Huijun smiled and shook her head, reached out to hold her daughter's hand through the table, and said, "Your father mainly told me something related to you."

At this moment, Wang Jinglu's heart suddenly stumbled.

Sure enough, Tao Huijun put away his smile and said slowly: "Mom knows that you must have your own ideas, so Mom has agreed with your father that we only provide some references and some choices. We don't force you to do so, okay?"

Wang Jinglu looked at her timidly.

Tao Huijun sighed, withdrew her hand and asked, "What do you think... what do you think of that Zhao Yumin?"

really!

Wang Jinglu hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, you really won't force me?"

Tao Huijun suddenly smiled, "What era is this? Even when my mother and your father got married, they were already in love freely, let alone now? How could my mother force you?"

"But..." Wang Jinglu wanted to speak but stopped.

Tao Huijun said: "I introduced Zhao Yumin to you and helped you get together. My mother agreed."

Wang Jinglu looked at her in surprise, "How could it be?...Why?"

She always thought that was all her father’s idea. She knew that her mother loved her very much and was willing to spoil her.

Tao Huijun had a smile on her eyes, but she said seriously: "If you put aside the prejudices, tell your mother, what's going on with that young man?"

Wang Jinglu was speechless now.

How about Zhao Yumin?

Without in-depth contact, she certainly had no way to judge how a person was. But just from what she knows and sees now, this person is handsome, handsome, handsome, gentle, considerate, with a distinct British gentlemanly style and a very good temperament. As a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge University, he obviously has no shortage of knowledge, and... his family should be quite rich.

If you look at it from the perspective of choosing a son-in-law, there are almost no obvious shortcomings that people can pick on. There are only one shining point after another, which is enough to make most girls in this world dazzle and fascinate.

Wang Jinglu wanted to speak but stopped, lowered her head and pouted.

Tao Huijun chuckled, "Is there nothing to say?"

After a pause, she said, "So, after he followed your dad to our house that day, I learned about it through various relationships and agreed with your dad's suggestion. I think he is very suitable for you."

Wang Jinglu frowned and looked up at her.

Tao Huijun continued: "Mom doesn't want to tell you that love and marriage are not the same thing. Even if it is not, I don't think my daughter has not fought for the power of love. In fact, my mother thinks that only marriages with love can be really happy. But... if you don't even want to contact them, how can you be sure that you won't like him?"

"Maybe, my mother just said, maybe, when you really start to contact that young man, you will soon find that he has various shortcomings and shortcomings that you cannot accept. By that time, if you say you don't like him, my mother will certainly support you 100%! Right?"

"But what if you get close to him and find that he is the one you like? If you really start to fall in love with him and fall in love with him... wouldn't that be better? The love in this world has never been just childhood sweethearts or love at first sight, right?"

"So, believe in my mother's vision, contact him and learn about it, okay?"

Wang Jinglu pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

In fact, she had nothing to say.

Although she didn't want to have any contact with that person, she had to admit in her heart that what her mother said was not unreasonable.

only……

Tao Huijun started drinking the soup in a small sip. Then, Wang Jinglu also picked up the spoon and started drinking the soup in a small sip.

Finally, Wang Jinglu finished drinking first. Although her mouth was very clean, she picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth, then stood up and said, "Mom, I'm full, so go back to the room first."

Tao Huijun nodded, but suddenly called her: "Xiao Lu..."

Wang Jinglu stood down and looked back at her.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "You already have someone you like, right?"

Wang Jinglu raised her head, lowered her head, and did not speak.

Tao Huijun asked again: "It's Xiaoqian from the opposite door, right?"

Wang Jing showed a look of a surprise on his face, but he still lowered his head and did not speak.

So, Tao Huijun thought about it and said, as if he was talking to himself: "In the past two years, your father's mind has been on that woman, and your sister's mind has been on music. They may not notice it, but mom is not them. Mom knows that you have started to like to stay on the rooftop after dinner for a while... Is it just with him?"

Wang Jinglu hesitated for a moment and nodded silently.

Tao Huijun also nodded, "Well, mom has nothing to say about breaking you up. Maybe your father and sister won't agree, but mom doesn't. Mom just wants to tell you that you are... too young. Young means that the world you have seen is too small, just like a little frog, before you have time to jump out of the well to see a bigger world. So, don't close your heart too early and give other excellent boys in this world a chance, okay?"

Wang Jinglu always lowered her head and said nothing.

After Tao Huijun finished speaking, she finally raised her head. The mother and daughter looked at each other for a moment. She lowered her head and turned around to go back to the room. She took a step, but stopped again. She turned around to look at her mother, suddenly plucked up the courage and asked, "Mom, you also think that Li Qian and I... are not suitable, right?"

Tao Huijun was stunned for a moment when she heard this, as if she was surprised by the sudden courage of her daughter. But soon, she smiled and asked gently: "Do you want to listen to the truth?"

Wang Jinglu nodded with certainty.

Tao Huijun thought for a while, put away the smile on her face, nodded, and said, "He is not worthy of you."

He paused and said, "I can't deserve it now, but I can't deserve it in the future!"

Wang Jinglu couldn't help but get angry when she heard this and couldn't help asking: "Why? How can you not deserve it?"

Tao Huijun suddenly laughed again, as if she liked to see her daughter getting angry. She looked at her daughter mischievously and said, "So, are you trying to tell her mother that he is very handsome?"

Wang Jinglu was surprised, but speechless.

Of course this is not all about Li Qian, but at least at the moment, what can I show off or compare with the person I like in my heart?

Tao Huijun continued: "Mom knows that he is very beautiful, so his mother is very beautiful, especially when we moved in, when my mother saw her for the first time. You were only over one year old at that time. Mom was holding you and she was holding Li Qian. We met in the corridor and said hello. When I came back, I told your father that Teacher Li’s wife is so beautiful! Mom believes that she is not as good as her. Well, if you only talk about appearance, Mom admits that Li Qian and you are a very compatible couple. But... is it useful?"

Wang Jinglu lowered her head and still didn't say anything.

She really wanted to say that Li Qian was not just good-looking, he had many advantages. She even wanted to increase Li Qian by a full 100 points in just one month, but she knew in her heart that those... useless things.

Sure enough, Tao Huijun continued: "There is a truth that everyone in this world has to admit that people who are good-looking do have advantages. They can always get more opportunities than others, including some good opportunities, but that's all."

"Now, we only talk about the present. If you don't go to Beijing and don't take the film academy, then my mother thinks that you can get into any university in the country. With your intelligence and of course, you have a good future after graduation. So, what about him? Is he okay? ... If you go to Beijing and take the film academy, my mother is not sure that you will get into the exam as you wish, but my mother knows that you have the talent in this area, and you and your sister, in the future, you will achieve certain results in your respective industries. So, what about him?"

Tao Huijun spread her hands, "So, now can you tell your mother that you are a perfect match with him?"

Wang Jinglu raised her head.

"But, I like him!" she said firmly.

Tao Huijun was a little surprised. Obviously, she didn't expect her daughter to answer her directly.

And, this is an answer that can be overturned.

So, she was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes. You can like him! But at least... before you graduate from college, don't really give yourself to him, give yourself the opportunity to choose others, and also show others the opportunity to show yourself, okay? If you have graduated from college, started working, and started to have your own career, you still firmly believe that you still like him, then, your mother will bless you, okay?"

Wang Jinglu was silent for a moment and finally nodded slowly.

Then, she looked up at her mother.

"I like him! I won't change!" she said.

Tao Huijun smiled, "If the future is really like this, it may not be a kind of happiness. However, I believe in my mother, there are too many boys in this world who are both handsome and capable of giving you better love and a better life. When you go out, when you look, observe and feel with your heart, you will understand that the so-called obstruction of one leaf is not a false statement."

Wang Jinglu pursed her lips, lowered her head, and turned her head to walk towards her room.

In the dining room, looking at her daughter's stubborn back until the door was gently closed, Tao Huijun sighed slowly.

"I really hope I've misunderstood." She murmured, "I really hope the Li boy can impress my father and I more money."

…………

"Hey, Xiao Lu? Is there anything wrong?"

"Sister, what should I do?"

“…”

"Dad arranged a blind date for me. My mother told me just now that she agreed."
