My 1991

Santana passed by the main entrance of Xiangya Hospital, drove about 150 meters further, and pulled over.

Li Long took a puff of cigarette, blew out a smoke ring and pointed at the two-story building across the street and said, "This is it."

The building has two floors. The structure is very new. The exterior wall is inlaid with porcelain tiles. A small section of it is still a mosaic that is very popular these days, with an independent courtyard. Through the gaps in the iron gate, you can see several vegetable plots planted inside.

Li Meng looked at it carefully and asked, "This house is nice. It is a single-family house. It should cost a lot of money, right?"

Li Long replied: "I inquired with the original landlord and it was sold for more than 30,000 yuan."

Li Meng didn’t know much about Chang City’s housing market. “Is it cheaper or more expensive?”

Li Long swiped his right hand and said, "Of course this location is cheap, but the original landlord was short of money and needed it urgently. The buyer at that time was not Lu An or Qingchi, but someone else, and it was later transferred to Lu An."

Li Meng asked: "Is the property in Xiaoan's name now?"

Li Long nodded.

Hearing this, Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. Is she afraid that the eldest daughter's name will be written on the real estate certificate? Then she can't imagine what the situation will be like next?

After pondering for a while, Li Meng cleared his mind and opened the car door and walked out.

Seeing this, Li Long also got out of the car.

Crossing the road, Li Meng first walked around the two-story building before planning to call the door.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Dong dong dong!"

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"

After several knocks on the door, the door didn't open, but Xiaobai started yelling through the door.

When he heard the dog barking outside, Meng Qingchi, who was reading the newspaper on the sofa on the second floor, immediately got up and went to the corridor outside to check the situation.

Li Long from behind had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the movement on the second floor. He raised his head and shouted: "Qingchi, open the door, your mother and I are here to see you."

uncle?

mom?

Meng Qingchi's eyes first fell on her uncle, and then she looked at her mother from a distance. In just a moment, she almost guessed why her mother and uncle came to see her today?

The reasons are very simple, there are three:

One is that his mother came all the way from Baoqing to Changshi without notifying her in advance?

Something unusual is revealed here.

Second, the house is still under confidentiality, but my mother and uncle suddenly came to the door, which means it was exposed.

With my mother's temper and my uncle's energy in Changshi, it would be almost effortless to find out the ins and outs of this property.

Third, she and Xiao An had a phone call not long ago. Three paintings were a great success at the auction last night. The astronomical figure of 9.02 million must have inspired the two elders.

As for why they found it here?

Why did you come to the door without saying hello?

Meng Qingchi felt like a mirror, because of his uncle, because of this house and car, and because of Xiaoan.

Go downstairs, stop Xiaobai from yelling, and open the door.

"Mom, uncle, have you had breakfast?" Meng Qingchi asked.

Li Meng did not rush in. Instead, he looked at his eldest daughter up and down for a while before saying, "Eat, I ate xiaolongbao on the way."

After the two people came in, Meng Qingchi closed the iron door again and said to them: "I don't live much on the first floor. Let's go to the second floor."

Li Meng looked around in the yard, saw four vegetable plots, and also saw the brand new Audi in his brother's mouth.

Seeing his eldest niece staring at him quietly, Li Long smiled awkwardly, and then silently told her with lip language: Your mother is angry.

Meng Qingchi understood the meaningless words. Her uncle was reminding her that her mother came specifically for Xiao An. Judging from the time, she probably got up early and rushed here. No matter what kind of relationship she had with Xiao An, Don't admit it.

Meng Qingchi nodded imperceptibly.

In fact, her relationship with Xiao An is relatively innocent now, and she has nothing to hide, but she knows that there are many things that she cannot say directly at the moment and needs time to buffer.

Because her commitment period has not yet expired, there are still more than three years until Xiao An graduates, and it is not yet time to consider whether to have a relationship with Xiao An.

Three years is not a long time, nor is it a short time. Changes will happen in the middle, so it is too early to make some things clear.

Li Meng went up to the second floor.

Li Long didn't go up. He didn't want to get involved in the private affairs of mother and daughter unless he had to, so he chose to sit on the wicker chair under the grape trellis and wait. If there was a fight, he could go up in time to break up the fight and put out the fire.

Walking through the corridor and entering the living room on the second floor, Li Meng was attracted by the painting on the wall. He came to look at it for a while and asked, "Is this painted by Xiao An?"

With the sentence "Xiao An's painting", Meng Qingchi confirmed all his guesses, poured a glass of warm water and replied: "No, it was given to him by his master."

Li Meng asked: "Who is his master?"

"Guan Shan

Li Meng came to his senses. At the beginning of this year, Xiao An did not come to Baoqing to pay New Year greetings. At that time, her eldest daughter said that Xiao An went to Yangcheng to study art. This is what happened:

Question: "So, this painting is valuable?"

Meng Qingchi said with certainty: "This painting is called "Green Pine". It comes from the handwriting of Mr. Guan, so it is naturally valuable."

Li Meng took the water and drank half a cup, then put it down. Then he walked around the rooms on the second floor as if no one else was watching, and found that there were two bedrooms. The bed in one of the bedrooms was covered with cloth to prevent dust.

She stood in front of the bed and asked, "Does this bedroom belong to Xiao An?"

Seeing his mother's determined look testing, Meng Qingchi didn't shy away from saying, "Yes."

After several attempts, her daughter did not shy away. Li Meng suddenly turned around and stared into her eyes and asked, "How often does he come here?"

Looking at each other, Meng Qingchi was quite calm: "I stayed here for a few nights during the Spring Festival. He taught me how to practice driving, and then left."

Hearing this, Li Meng really wanted to ask, "When Xiaoan came to Changshi, were our family still in Changshi?"

But she swallowed the words as soon as they reached her lips. She couldn't ask such a pointed question for a while.

Back in the living room, Li Meng picked up the newspaper on the sofa, looked down and browsed: "Three paintings were sold for 9 million. Did he call you to tell you the good news?"

Meng Qingchi sat on a separate sofa to the side: "I've reported it."

Li Meng immediately put down the newspaper and said with great dissatisfaction: "This guy didn't even tell me about such a big thing. Does he treat me like an outsider?"

Meng Qingchi smiled and said, "I should have told my eldest brother last night, otherwise you wouldn't have come here early this morning."

Seeing her daughter openly talking about the topic of Xiao An, Li Meng was a little doubtful whether he really thought too much?

After hesitating for a long time, she decided to get straight to the point: "Qingchi, Mom hasn't been sleeping well recently, and I've been wanting to ask you, did Xiao An buy this house and the Audi car below?"

Meng Qingchi nodded and shook his head: "Xiao An talks to me on the phone every month and talks about everything. Once he asked me how the accommodation was. I casually said that the hospital accommodation building was a little noisy and I didn't sleep well. I didn't expect him. I listened and asked someone to buy this house."

In fact, she later understood that Xiao An bought this house to improve her living conditions, but she also had other motives.

But it was too late.

Now that you've moved in, it's hard to move out again, otherwise it's easy for things to turn upside down. Besides, she didn't want to hurt Xiao An too much.

His daughter followed him and was a light sleeper. She would easily wake up if there was any disturbance outside. Li Meng had no doubt about this and asked, "Where is the car?"

Meng Qingchi said: "I don't know much about the car. He didn't discuss it with me before buying it. When I asked about it afterwards, he said he saw other people driving this kind of car in Shanghai and he liked it at first sight, so he bought one too. It’s a great ride.”

She told the truth about the house, but she told lies about the car.

Well, it can't be a lie, because Meng Qingchi never asked Lu An about why he bought an Audi car.

After asking about the car and house, Li Meng made a rough judgment and suddenly lost the nervousness before coming.

But when it comes to matters related to her two daughters, she as a mother does not dare to pretend to be confused at this time, otherwise the two sisters may fall out in the future and affect the unity of the family.

She thought for a moment, and first asked in an extremely gentle and tactful way:

"Qingchi, you are not young anymore. Recently, a friend mentioned you to me, saying that you are very attracted to her son and that his family background is good. Do you want to consider it?"

Because the eldest daughter is very good, this kind of thing happens every year, and there are many more. Li Meng has never told her in the past, and she doesn't really say it today, because she knows her daughter's temperament and is very disgusted with this arrangement. The purpose is just to see How will your daughter react?

Some words were easy to understand as soon as they were heard. Meng Qingchi refused decisively, "Mom, I haven't considered personal matters yet. Let's talk about it later."

I haven’t thought about it yet, are you waiting for Xiao An?

Or haven't you considered Xiao An?

Li Meng was stunned by himself.

She asked: "After August, you will be 26 this year. After this? When will you wait?"

Her mother's tone was quite good, and Meng Qingchi also chose a gentle approach: "Wait until I finish my Ph.D."

This answer was expected. Li Meng didn't find any fault, so he simply said: "Last month, your uncle went to the hospital dormitory to look for you, but couldn't find you. He accidentally found you practicing driving, and later found you. You live here.

When Mom first heard the news, she was so anxious that she didn't even think about food and drinks. She was afraid that you would fall into the trap of your children's affair and go astray.

Later, I forced your uncle to investigate, and it turned out that it was a false alarm. It turned out that Xiao An bought the car and the house. I was instantly relieved. "

The reason why she talks so much is to excuse her younger brother Li Long so that her eldest daughter will not have any resentment towards him.

At this point, she began to complain, "Tell me, you didn't tell your family about such a big matter, and you didn't even talk to me about it. It's really, really... ugh."

Meng Qingchi poured himself a glass of warm water, took a sip, and said softly: "I don't want Qingshui to misunderstand."

At first glance, this sentence seems to have a literal meaning. It is simple, clear and expresses the position.

But it's scary if you look closely. Is there any misunderstanding between the two sisters? What kind of things can be misunderstood?

In a sentence of no more than 10 words, Meng Qingchi took precautions against possible situations that may arise in the future.

After all, she had promised Xiao An that if the conditions were triggered, it would not be ignored. When the time came, she would really consider the possibility of the two of them.

If the condition is not triggered, that would be the best and what she would most like to see, so the answer to this question is simply literal.

Li Meng seemed to understand her eldest daughter's words for a moment, but she didn't seem to understand them at the same time. She was confused and always felt that there was something fishy in it, but she didn't have time to think too much. At this time, the landline phone on the coffee table rang suddenly.
